Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple
Chapter 380 Chapter379-My Good Relationship with the System
Chapter 380 Chapter379-My Good Relationship with the System
This realization infuriated Karthus to the extreme!
The intense bidding war between Karthus and Chillminder finally came to an end. The players on the first floor enjoyed the spectacle immensely, exclaiming their pleasure. The big shots in the second-floor boxes simply heaved a quiet sigh of relief. Although the final price of 84 million was indeed higher than the daggers' intrinsic value, it wasn't exaggeratedly so. For these guild leaders of large guilds, such occurrences were common in auctions, where people often pay extra for items they particularly desire.
As for Karthus's frustration, no one paid much attention.
"I thought Guild Leader Chillminder was tougher than this, but it seems that's not the case!" Karthus still didn't miss the opportunity to taunt, but his verbal victory paled in comparison to the tangible figure of 84 million.
Chillminder, unconcerned, smiled serenely, "If Guild Leader Karthus is willing to pay millions extra for these six daggers, I am certainly outmatched."
Although his words were calm, they struck Karthus with more force than any direct insult. Karthus radiated an aura of hostility, his cold demeanor making the Shadowrealm Guild members behind him visibly uneasy.
"Alright, Guild Leader Chillminder, you're looking for trouble. Last time I warned you, your Silent Ones Guild members should be careful when doing quests. Don't run into my Shadowrealm Guild in the wild. I thought you'd be more cautious after that, but it seems you really want to clash with my guild!"
"Starting today, the Shadowrealm Guild will hunt down all members of Silent Ones Guild indiscriminately. I hope you can handle it!"
Karthus issued this blatant threat in front of everyone, not bothering to hide his intentions.
Chillminder was slightly taken aback, not having a chance to respond when Snowla from the neighboring box burst out in anger. Just like in the previous auction, Snowla leaped out, cursing loudly, "Dammit, are you out of your mind? Starting a large-scale war over six daggers? You think your Shadowrealm Guild is the only one capable of hunting? Don't believe me? Watch as I specifically target your guild members from now on!"
"Are assassin players really that great? Do you think everyone should be afraid of you, should yield to you? Did you not see what happened to those NPC assassins just now with your damn blind eyes?"
"In open combat, you're just walking targets for widespread DPS. Believe me, I'll organize a team of maguses and bomb your damn lair!"
Karthus was momentarily dumbfounded by the tirade. He glanced at Snowla with disgust and said coldly, "What's wrong with you, you crazy woman? My remarks to Chillminder have nothing to do with your Black Rose Guild."
"Are you his mother or his ancestor, to defend him like this?"
With that comment, Karthus truly stirred up trouble. Chillminder, who had been calm and composed, suddenly turned cold. His eyes flickered with icy resolve, radiating an aura that seemed ready to devour anyone.
"Karthus, watch your mouth. Don't think I'm really afraid of your Shadowrealm Guild. If it comes to it, let's go to war. Your chaos and dark-aligned guild dare to come over here? Believe me, even at the cost of downgrading my guild, I'll ensure your members never return!"
Karthus was visibly frustrated and infuriated.
"Who exactly is being indecent here? Why don't you mention Snowla's foul language?" Karthus was exasperated by Chillminder's blatant double standards.
Chillminder scoffed, unhesitatingly responding, "What Snowla said isn't cursing, it's just her way of speaking."
Karthus was left speechless by Chillminder's blunt favoritism. Irritated, he waved his hand dismissively, "I don't want to waste words with you. We've always been at odds anyway, and it's not the first time we've openly clashed. Let's just settle it with action."
Just as Chillminder was about to retort, a sinister voice suddenly interrupted. "Heh, such bold words, promising doom and gloom. Are you a prince of the Northern Myst Empire or the prime minister of the Easternwood Empire, Chillminder?"
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw Kingserp, shrouded in shadows, silently appearing by the floor-to-ceiling window. "What if my Dawn Guild joins in? How would you handle that?"
Chillminder paused, turning to face the suddenly intervening Kingserp, a hint of apprehension flickering in his eyes. To some extent, Chillminder wasn't particularly afraid of Karthus. But he had always had an inexplicable fear of Kingserp.
Karthus's Shadowrealm Guild, though abundant with assassin players and known for targeting other players, could still be dealt with caution. However, Kingserp's Dawn Guild was different. It was like a congregation of lunatics, akin to Arkham Asylum in the Batman movies.
Every member of Dawn Guild Chillminder had encountered seemed far from normal. In a previous game, due to a boss fight, Silent Ones Guild had a conflict with a Dawn Guild squad. That squad actually ambushed at Silent Ones Guild's headquarters, camping there for over a month, just to barge into the guild hall and drop a few berry bombs.
Chillminder's assessment of the Dawn Guild was that everyone in it was insane, truly mentally unstable. And among them, Kingserp, the guild leader, was the most severely afflicted.
In the game Godslayer, to date, nobody knew Kingserp's exact class. His rare instances of action typically ended in the brutal defeat of his opponents. Except for the last auction, where Kingserp was bested by John, no one had managed to force Kingserp to reveal his true strength in combat.
However, there was a generally accepted fact among the players: Kingserp was among the top three in strength among all guild leaders of the world's top ten elite guilds, possibly only slightly weaker than Adam, and maybe even stronger than Blue Sea. This was the primary reason for Chillminder's wariness of Kingserp. An unpredictable enemy was the most frightening.
While Chillminder was apprehensive, Snowla was fearless, countering Kingserp directly, "So what? Just because Kingserp joins in, should everyone bow down? Why do you think so highly of yourself?"
"A guy who always hides in the shadows, afraid to show his face, wasn't the lesson from Brother Galewind last time deep enough for you?"
Hearing Snowla's words, the people present couldn't help but show expressions of amusement mixed with unease. Kingserp, too, was clearly hit where it hurt, as the shadows around him roiled violently. It was evident that his rage was barely being contained.
Just as Kingserp was about to erupt, Adam, who had been silent up until now, suddenly spoke up. "Enough, all of you are respected figures. Are you really resorting to a war of words here? This is an auction, not an arena for your battles. Can't you spare Miss Isabella some peace? The second round of the auction has just begun. Why not save some energy for the upcoming fierce competition over those top-tier equipment and items?"
Adam's calm voice carried an undertone of authority. On the stage, Isabella revealed a radiant and enchanting smile to the crowd. Despite the auction being interrupted repeatedly, she showed no sign of dissatisfaction. After all, neither the astonishing NPC assassins nor these top guild big shots were entities she, a mere player, could afford to offend.
Moreover, the confrontation between these guild big shots somewhat enlivened the atmosphere of the auction house, which Isabella was happy to see.
Following Adam's intervention, both sides finally quieted down. The face of the Genesis Guild guild leader had to be given due respect. Although there was no explicit ranking among the world's top ten elite guilds, those within these circles knew the true strength of Genesis Guild. It was an unspoken truth that even among the elite guilds, there were disparities. Genesis Guild, up to this point, was undoubtedly the most powerful gaming guild.
John lounged lazily on the sofa, his entire demeanor exuding a drowsy comfort. He showed little interest in the ongoing events at the auction. In contrast, Loving_Lollipop watched with great enthusiasm.
"Wow, that Karthus's bald head and tattoos look so dominant!"
"Guild Leader Snowla is really pretty, but she seems too hot-tempered!"
"This Guild Leader Kingserp is really mysterious, why does he always hide himself in that black fog?"
"And Guild Leader Adam is so cool, just one sentence and everyone quieted down…"
John opened his eyes, slightly exasperated, and glanced at the young player. "Hey, can you keep it down for a while?"
Loving_Lollipop turned to John, curiously asking, "Galewind, I heard that in the last auction, you braved the system's ORDER lightning and took out Kingserp in one move. Is that true?"
John replied somewhat irritably, "Isn't there a video of it on the forum? Can't you just watch it yourself?"
Scratching his head with a sheepish smile, Loving_Lollipop admitted, "I've seen that post and watched the video several times, but I just don't understand how you did it…"
Faced with the young player's curious gaze, John simply responded, "Maybe it's because I have a good relationship with the system…"
Loving_Lollipop was left speechless, a series of question marks running through his mind.
