Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 190 Chapter 189-Fulfilling Promises, Skills Manifesting (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)

Walking out of the Mercenary Hall, John turned his head to look at the grand yet quaint building, filled with infinite emotion.

He never expected that Grand Archmage Saphir, who seemed to have a fierce temper but was not off-putting, would have such a sigh-inducing past.

A loving family shattered overnight, his beloved wife and child cruelly murdered before his very eyes.

Any person facing such a history might be on the brink of collapse.

Yet Saphir had managed to persevere for a full decade, never showing his pain.

It demonstrated the incredible resilience of the Grand Archmage.

This was one of the real reasons John was willing to help Saphir.

An indigenous NPC like Saphir, with enough talent and tenacity, surely had boundless potential in Godslayer Continent.

John wanted to forge a good relationship with such an NPC.

Perhaps one day, it might come in handy.

With such thoughts, John's figure slowly disappeared into the bustling crowd on the street.

Moments later, he arrived at the entrance of the Dawn Breeze Auction House.

The one to greet him was the ever-awaiting Isabella, whom John had messaged before his arrival.

"We meet again, Lord Galewind," Isabella said, her face bearing an impeccable smile, her eyes beguiling and enchanting.

John looked at this woman somewhat strangely.

Each time they met, she seemed to have grown a bit.

Now, probably no one would dare to offend the true manager of the Dawn Breeze Auction House.

He remembered the first time he met Isabella; she had been shy and disorganized, entirely like a newbie.

How much time had passed?

Now she had fully matured into a meticulous, unerring, perfect business elite.

John's odd gaze caught Isabella's attention.

She discreetly looked herself over to confirm there were no problems with her dress or appearance, then asked with a light laugh, "What's that look for, Lord Galewind? Is there something wrong with Isabella's outfit today?"

John slowly shook his head, teasingly replying with a smile, "Not at all, you look very pretty today. I'm just astonished at how much you've grown to reach this height."

Isabella responded with a sweet smile and a soft voice, "Lord Galewind is jesting. I'm just a non-combat class player lacking battle talent. Since I can't fight on the front lines like you, I have to choose this path to improve myself."

John commended her, "That's actually quite good. At least you don't have to face dangerous monsters every day, and everyone has their own path. You don't necessarily have to choose a combat class. You look pretty successful now, rising from a low-level life player to the actual manager of Dawn Breeze Auction House. Perhaps this is your true calling."

Isabella's smile deepened, her voice growing sweeter, "I owe my success to Lord Galewind's support. Without you, there would be no me today."

John shook his head, countering, "You can't quite put it that way. After all, I was going to auction that item anyway. The fact that you seized the opportunity shows your ability."

The two continued to chat and laugh as they made their way to the third floor of Dawn Breeze Auction House.

Inside a room decorated in a classic and elegant style, Master Reo was already waiting quietly.

John sat across from Master Reo, smiling and greeting him, "Master, it hasn't been long since we last met. Here we are again!"

Master Reo stroked his beard and laughed, his wise eyes full of warmth.

"Indeed, Mr. Galewind, you always manage to surprise me. It hasn't been long, and you've already brought the item."

John shrugged, downplaying his efforts, "I was just lucky enough to come across some Cloud Sea Ore."

Master Reo exclaimed, "Luck is also part of strength. And I believe that with Mr. Galewind's abilities, something like Cloud Sea Ore, which others may never see in their lifetime, is merely something you can easily obtain."

"If you don't mind, may I take a look at what Cloud Sea Ore looks like? I must admit something rather embarrassing: despite my lifelong profession as an appraiser class, I've never laid eyes on this extraordinary item," Master Reo asked.

John smiled and nodded, casually waving his right hand. Two pieces of Cloud Sea Ore appeared on the tabletop.

Master Reo couldn't help but reach out, trembling with anticipation as he held the Cloud Sea Ore, gazing at it as if admiring a priceless treasure.

After a careful examination, he reluctantly set the pieces back on the table, clearly impressed.

"What an artifact... truly a rare and precious gem. These top-tier attributes have even an appraiser like me, who's seen countless wonders, somewhat smitten," he mused. "No wonder Cloud Sea Ore is so rare and valuable, even becoming exclusive to the Imperial royal family. These attributes are truly out of this world."

John replied with a light laugh, "Since Master Reo has confirmed that this Cloud Sea Ore is without fault, then our transaction is complete, right? From now on, the Asura mask on your face belongs to me."

Master Reo chuckled and nodded, "Certainly, Mr. Galewind, you've handled this so swiftly and flawlessly, we at Dawn Breeze Auction House naturally have no objections. I believe these two pieces of Cloud Sea Ore will more than satisfy the client who consigned the mask."

John nodded in satisfaction.

Throughout the entire transaction, Isabella had quietly sat by, serving tea and water, tranquil as a perfect sculpture.

Master Reo placed the Cloud Sea Ore in a wooden box and instructed Isabella to arrange for it to be delivered to the client who consigned the Asura mask.

He then asked with a light laugh, "Mr. Galewind, aside from fulfilling our agreement, do you have any other items you'd like to consign for auction?"

John thought for a moment before slowly shaking his head.

In his backpack, he indeed had several items and pieces of equipment with extraordinary attributes, but each had its use, and he wasn't yet ready to auction them.

"Unfortunately, I haven't gathered much this time. I'll wait until I have suitable items to auction them here next time," John said.

Master Reo smiled warmly and nodded, not at all surprised.

Although John was their biggest client, it was not possible that he would have top-tier equipment and items to auction every time he visited.

The six extremely high-quality epic daggers that had been previously consigned had not yet been sold.

It wasn't that no one wanted to buy them, but rather that Dawn Breeze Auction House hadn't planned to display them at all.

Instead, they were preparing them for the next auction.

Master Reo and John briefly discussed this, and John expressed that he had no problem with it; everything could proceed according to the auction house's plans.

After exchanging pleasantries for a short while, John left Dawn Breeze Auction House, found a quiet spot, and chose to log off.

...

The serene room's lobby was disrupted as the silver-white game chamber suddenly opened.

John opened his eyes and sat up from the gaming pod.

He looked over at the other game chamber next to him.

Its bright light was flashing from time to time, indicating that Emma, that young rascal, was still in deep spiritual connection.

Before logging off, John had specifically looked at Emma's status.

It still displayed "in combat," so it was clear that Emma was probably still teaming up with the folks from Silver Church on a quest.

John simply left a message for Emma that he had logged off.

John leaped out of the game chamber and stood in place, stretching his body.

His joints cracked loudly, and he let out a comfortable groan, closing his eyes and concentrating on the energy coursing through his limbs.

Sure enough, after the battle with the deity, the energy within him had increased substantially.

If before it was only a stream, now it had expanded to a rushing river's breadth.

It had multiplied several times.

John opened his eyes, a mysterious glimmer in them.

It seemed he had taken a significant step toward fully recovering his physical abilities in the real world.

He closed his eyes, murmuring silently.

Suddenly, something magical happened.

John's body quietly vanished from the spot, reappearing in his bedroom.

Divine Talent: Shape-shifting.

John was still not satisfied, so he released another skill.

A pale blue light suddenly shone in his palm, and a pale blue energy longsword slowly formed.

Divine Blade, finally shaped.

John's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Indeed, as the energy gradually awakened, these skills could be released one by one.

The only downside was the considerable consumption of internal energy; it was not as casual as in the game.

It seemed that he would have to wait until his abilities were fully restored to release these skills without any pressure.

John waved his hand, dispelling the Divine Blade.

He then picked up his wallet, preparing to go out and buy some ingredients.

Having not eaten all day, he was indeed a bit hungry.

And that rascal Emma would undoubtedly be clamoring for food when she logged off.

It was best to prepare in advance...
