Chapter 536 The Blade And The Fruit



"Just so everyone knows, there are only three items left before this auction ends." With everyone's attention focused towards the two items he had the others put on stage, Sirius went ahead and gave everyone a reminder. "The two items beside me are part of those three items, with the last item being something everyone will surely want to get their hands on."

"In any case, let me explain what kind of items these are." Saying these words, Sirius made his way to one of the items, which was an exquisite-looking blade that gave off a feeling of warmth and coldness at the same time.

With its handle and hilt having small details to it that would allow the wielder to grip onto the blade properly, the blade itself was slightly curved, resembling a katana in shape. Taking in a deep breath, Sirius grabbed the katana firmly with both hands before moving towards a part of the stage that was not obstructed by the other item.

Then, with a loud exhale, the man raised the katana above his head before swinging it down with all its might, causing a blade of energy to appear and collide with one of the walls, the energy making it appearing to be a faint red.

Raising the katana above his head once more, Sirius slightly changed his grip on the katana, giving everyone the feeling that he would be piercing with the katana instead of slashing down.

Unsurprisingly, everyone's feeling was correct, with the man dashing forward as the blade was covered in a chilling energy for a brief moment, causing everyone at the front of the auction house to slightly shudder from the sheer coldness they felt.

"The name the maker gave this blade is Heaven and Hell." Finished with his short exhibition of the katana's capabilities, Sirius returned the blade to where it placed before proceeding to go over through its description with the audience. "As the name suggests, the blade taps into the energy of the highest of heavens, as well as the deepest of hells."

"Of course, that was the maker's intention in creating it, having the cold energy represent the concept of heaven, while the hot energy would represent the concept of hell. To those that have an affinity towards the Fire and Frost element, this blade would be a great match with you, though similar affinities to the elements I mentioned would benefit from such a blade as well."

"Being a blade with a rarity of Epic+ grade, it has a total of three innate skills, with the first two being active skills one could use during in combat," said Sirius.

Then, with a slight grin, he continued, "As for the final innate skill, though it is also considered an active skill, it would probably be better to say that it's an ultimate skill rather than an active one."

Of course, as the man uttered these words, quite a few raised their eyebrows in curiosity, wondering what Sirius meant by that. In response, the man in question decided to pick up the blade once more, closing his eyes as a terrifying energy briefly shrouded the blade, dyeing the blade a dark gray for a brief moment.

Whoosh!

"Though I have not released the entirety of the skill in question, that is what the third and final innate skill is capable of." Placing back the blade one last time, Sirius inwardly smiled when he noticed that he had successfully piqued the attention of the audience. "Combining cold and hot energy together to create an energy so destructive... a skill like that could only be considered an ultimate skill, no?"

Seeing around half of the audience nod in response to his question, a smile appeared on the man's face as he decided to save the second item for after he had finished selling off the blade. "Alright, then! With that, let us open the bid for Heaven and Hell."

"The initial bidding price for this is 5 platinum cards. Any bid after must be higher than the previous by at least 50 platinum coins."

"7 platinum cards!" Though quite a decent number of people in the audience had bid on the item, the amount of excitement the people had towards the item could not compare to the excitement everyone felt when Valyr's spear was revealed.

Sure, the blade had an innate skill that could be considered an ultimate skill in its own right, but Valyr's spear had something that possibly no other weapon could imitate, which was the fact that the weapon's awakened attributes grew whenever the wielder's strength also grew.n0veLusb.c0m

With that, the bidding for the blade eventually stopped once the price had reached 20 platinum cards, landing in the hands of a man that seemed to be famous for being a sword collector.

"With that out of the way, let us move to the second to last item for this auction." Quite satisfied with the final price the blade had fetched, a smile adorned Sirius' face as he prompted everyone to focus everyone's attention towards the other item the auction house had brought, which appeared to be an unassuming fruit.

"Unlike most of the items we have brought out so far, this item would be better suited for those with production classes and subclasses," said Sirius. "However, it would be a lie for me to say that only those with production classes would benefit from it."

"Now, why would I say that?" At these words, Sirius let out a chuckle.

"Well, this item not only increase one's affinity towards mana, it also increases one's affinity towards the elements, as well as other energies that one might come across in their journey to the peak."

"However, if one were to ask me what truly makes this item special... then it would be the fact that it also affects one's comprehension towards Intents."

Hearing that the item affected Intents, most of the audience instantly perked their ears up to listen to what the item specifically did to it. Unsurprisingly, once they did, all of them instantly had the urge to get their hands on it no matter what.

"How does it affect Intents, you might ask?"

"Well, for those with Intent Seeds..."

"Consuming this item will allow you to comprehend an Intent in an instant."
