The last item for the second day was something that, when brought out, shook everyone. Nobody expected something like that to be sold on the second day of the auction.
It just shouldn’t be sold yet.
But here it sat on the mechanized table—a colossal head of a spirit beast crackling with lightning, and the energy surrounding it was just too powerful.
It was as if a terrifying beast had appeared inside the auction hall the moment it was unveiled.
“This is the skull of a Peak Root Sovereign Spirit Beast, a beast just a step away from reaching the level of the Kingdom Protectors. It was discovered in the Wild Forest, and from what you all can sense, yes, this was a lightning-type beast.
It was a Metal-Skinned Storm Lion, one of the most powerful beasts out there, and its affinity for lightning is unparalleled.”
Everyone took in a cold breath, feeling the pressure in the air.
The allure of having something like this is just too much to handle. In fact, having this in front of you has more than a 70% chance of helping you learn lightning and gain affinity.
Aside from that, cultivating the energy inside it will have more than enough benefits. It can also take someone from the Root Sage stage to the Root Transcendent stage.
It can also be used for alchemy, blacksmithing and a whole lot more.
Basically, the skull on the table, though not as strong as the original beats when it was alive, is still enough to make heads turn and jaws hang wide open.
Everyone wanted to have the skull, but they also knew only one person could have it. It’s an auction, after all.
“As to what you want to do with it, I don’t know. But we all know something like this can have more than enough uses.”
“The starting bid is set at 300 million spirit stones, and the minimum increment is 50 million.”
“The bidding starts now.”
“500 million!” someone shouted from one of the VIP rooms, also beating Alina from declaring the start of the bidding.
“800 million,” another voice chimed in, and just like that, the final bidding war for the last item had begun.
Everyone was already freaking out when it appeared, so they were pouring their wealth into the bids.
If they are lucky, they will be able to win something before the big games arrive in a day time for the real bidding wars that can cause centuries of conflict between families.
Many knew they wouldn’t be able to win anything tomorrow, so they wanted to try their luck today.
New voices started to join, and familiar voices also shouted their bids.
The prices shot up to 1 billion in under a minute, but dozens of people continued to bid. The allure of having the skull of such a powerful beast was something they wouldn’t pass up on.
Inside VIP room 13, Kent was now seated upright, staring daggers at the skull.
The comfortable embrace of the lady behind him was no longer comfortable, at least not at the moment.
Something had appeared that if he was right, he would be rescuing the two ladies faster than he planned.
‘Gaia, what are my chances of creating a Root Transcendent Undead subordinate by mixing three Transcendent human dead bodies, this skull, a hundred billion spirit stones, and some other stuff?” Kent asked.
Though Gaia had said that the only limitation he would experience when using his Creator Necromancy Sub Class was the cultivation stage limit of this world, if Kent had the necessary items, he could create a subordinate who would be at the peak of this world.
But that would require a lot.
So he wanted to know just how far this could take him. The skull is rather powerful from just staring at it.
⟪The master should know that creating something new is not as easy as upgrading it. Creation will require a great deal. However, the skull there is from a Root Sovereign Beast.
Although the energy inside it has diminished, mixing it with what you mentioned can indeed help you create a Root Transcendent-level undead capable of fighting Root Ascendents at the early stages.⟫
‘Then does that mean if I wait and gather more, I can go even higher than this?’
⟪Yes. But the master should know that creating a being above the Root Great Sage stage would require more than you might imagine.
So, the best course of action would be to use this to create your first subordinate. Then, using their strength, you can venture into the Ancient Battlefield of Passing or wherever materials are found and gather more.
You can add as many materials as you want for a single subordinate, so don’t hold back on how much you spend on them.⟫
‘Thanks, Gaia. I guess I will buy this from them yet again. I wonder how pissed they will become, especially those blacksmiths,’ Kent sighed.
⟪The master has more at stake than them, so they can cry all they want.⟫
‘Indeed,’ Kent smirked and decided to take the treasure off their hands.
First, however, he just sat there and watched the crazy battle go on for an hour, with the price entering ten billion spirit stones.
By then, only four people remained, and three were the same blacksmiths he bought the meteor from right under their noses.
The last one was somebody Kent hadn’t met yet. Though he could know their true identity, he just didn’t care, considering their presence was that of a Root Great Sage.
“Metal Saint Rocky and Andrew, can’t you let this junior have this?” Metal Saint Adolf said, referring to himself as a junior when, in fact, he is a senior.
“Tomorrow is the big day, and we all will have something to buy. Since I need this, why don’t you two let me have it?” Clearly, he wasn’t placing the third bidder alongside the two blacksmiths in his eyes.
“Sorry, Senior Adolf, but I need the skull for a piece I am working on. However, if we can come to an agreement, then one of us can buy it and we share. What do you think?”
Metal Saint Andrew said, causing the two blacksmiths to enter a contemplative state. The offer was actually sound.
The price of the item is now 12 billion, and they both can pay without feeling too much of a dent in their funds. In fact, they can even pay 40 billion each and still be able to bid on items again tomorrow.
So this offer was indeed a good one for them. If the three band together, they will be able to win this and share, just as they should have done yesterday.
But if they do this, Kent would be in trouble. Well, that is their thinking…
“I accept,” Metal Saint Adolf said.
“I also accept,” Metal Saint Rocky said.
Kent, who didn’t expect this, smiled and asked Gaia a question, ‘Gaia, how much do I have in my accounts?’
⟪The master is still very rich.⟫
‘Well then, it’s time to end the day with a bang,’ Kent smirked and made his voice known.
“Sorry, gentlemen, but this skull won’t be going home with you today,” Kent said, smiling.
“I bid 20 billion.”
And just like that, the real battle between Kent and the three blacksmiths was underway.
