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

Chapter 85 Chapter84-The Spotlighted Auction

A pale blue wave of light swept across the entire valley in an instant.

In that moment, every mage's incantation was abruptly disrupted.

The heavy shield of the armored warriors shattered into pieces under the impact.

An assassin, who was on the brink of successfully landing a sneak attack, came to a sudden halt.

More than twenty high-level players.

The strongest battle power of the Darklord Guild.

They couldn't even withstand a casual skill unleashed by John!

They turned into a ray of white light, returning directly to the Respawn Pool of Silverglow.

A one-hit-kill, swift and decisive.

In the narrow valley, only the expressionless John remained.

And SoulSong, standing motionless on the spot for a long time, stunned.

"No, impossible... Your power... How could you have become so strong now?"

"You were clearly trapped by my scheme and sacrificed to The Devil. How come you emerged unscathed and even more powerful?"

SoulSong looked at John in shock, his eyes filled with dread and resentment.

John didn't speak, only gazing at him silently.

SoulSong's mouth hung open slightly, as if wanting to say something else.

But the words lingered on the tip of his tongue, unable to be voiced.

He had never doubted John's abilities.

His ill-advised decision to conspire with Darklord against John was, in large part, due to jealousy that brewed in his heart.

SoulSong resented it.

Why, despite his earnest efforts and struggles in the game, he always seemed to fall behind John, be it in terms of development or skills.

Back in the guild, most members acknowledged John's abilities.

John's reputation was even higher than his, the guild leader.

It was this jealousy that led SoulSong to turn his gun against his once good brother, almost without hesitation, after Darklord reached out to him.

When Godslayer, the game, was launched, Darklord had made solemn promises that he could bring John down in the game through internal channels.

Yet, all were disappointed by the outcome.

Not only did John manage to grow, but his strength surpassed what it was before!

The faint blue wave of light just now, containing such immense energy, still sent shivers down SoulSong's spine when he thought about it.

He had managed to withstand it, but his condition was severely compromised.

Opening his status panel, SoulSong saw his HP had dropped by a whopping three-quarters, with various negative statuses displayed: fatigue, severe injuries, extreme danger, and so forth.

SoulSong hastily gulped down a large bottle of healing potion to barely halt the continuous deterioration of his condition.

John retracted his hand, with no intention to strike again.

He walked past SoulSong towards the outside of the valley, not uttering a single word.

"Halt! Are you pitying me again? Just like before, always backing down when we disagree!"

SoulSong, unable to maintain his earlier aloof demeanor, stomped and bellowed furiously, "What are you doing? Are you pitying me? I don't need your pity!"

"Why didn't you kill me, Galewind? You always have this sympathetic look on your face. Do you know it makes me hate you even more?"

John stopped in his tracks, turned around and said calmly, "You're overthinking. I'm not pitying you, I'm just ignoring you... You no longer qualify to stand before me, so I can't be bothered to strike again."

SoulSong's face darkened, and a vein throbbed furiously on his forehead, "Should I thank you then? Should I thank you for sparing my life? I'm telling you, it's impossible! I, SoulSong, never regret my actions."

John shook his head and sighed, continuing to walk away.

He knew that killing SoulSong wouldn't be a true punishment for him.

SoulSong's pride was his downfall; only by completely ignoring him could John make him suffer unbearable shame.

John left, leaving SoulSong behind in the valley, roaring in futile rage.

...

Before long, John had returned to Silverglow.

It was almost time for the auction held by Dawn Breeze Auction House.

Silverglow was buzzing.

The streets were jam-packed with players of all races.

Everyone was discussing the upcoming auction.

Some savvy players had even set up stalls on either side of the streets.

They hawked their self-crafted items to passing players, capitalizing on the opportune moment.

Given the traffic in the streets at the moment, even if they were selling crap, they'd probably make a killing.

John navigated through the bustling crowd, the noise of the various shouts and calls resonating in his ears.

His previously troubled mood finally began to settle.

He didn't harbor much resentment towards SoulSong anymore.

Despite being betrayed by SoulSong, the two of them now belonged to two different worlds.

An overly weak enemy was nothing more than a joke.

As John headed towards the Dawn Breeze Auction House, his communicator suddenly buzzed.

Emma: Johnny, where are you? Are you coming to the auction tonight?

John replied with a smile: Just finished a small mission, I'm on my way to the auction house now.

Emma: Great, I'm right at the entrance of the auction house. I'll wait for you here.

John: OK, sounds good.

At the entrance of the Dawn Breeze Auction House, Emma disconnected from the communicator, a genuine smile spreading across her exquisite face.

Beside her, White Feather impatiently asked, "What's the word? Will Galewind be joining us tonight?"

Emma responded with a sweet smile, "He will, Johnny will be here soon."

White Feather finally relaxed, patting her chest and saying, "That's excellent news! Our guild has been working overtime these past few days, creating a large batch of Silver Tears, perfect for trading with Galewind."

Emma nodded eagerly, looking incredibly adorable.

The two stunning beauties standing at the auction house entrance attracted a lot of attention from passing players.

Some bold players were even preparing to approach them for contact details.

But before they could act, they saw a group of well-equipped, high-level players approaching the Dawn Breeze Auction House.

These players, fierce and formidable, had equipment that glimmered subtly, revealing their high worth.

Judging by the badges on their chests, they seemed to belong to two top-tier factions – "Genesis Guild" and "Blue Sea Guild".

"Look! As expected, both top factions, Genesis Guild and Blue Sea Guild, have shown up. The items at this auction must be really rare."

"Of course. These are two of the top 10 global guilds, and their leaders are here personally. They must be determined to win."

"With these two guilds coming together, it looks like they have agreed to cooperate in advance. What competition abilities would the other factions have at the auction?"

"Well, not necessarily. I just saw the members of the Black Rose Guild and Silent Ones Guild entering. Both are among the top ten global guilds, and their strength is not inferior to Genesis Guild and Blue Sea Guild."

"We might get to see the shocking scene of the top 10 global guilds gathering tonight."

"You know, that might be possible."

"Who are those people who just went in, all cloaked and hooded?"

"They should be from 'Travelers'. I just don't know if their mysterious leader is here."

"What's 'Travelers'?"

"You must be new, not knowing the famous Travelers."

"That's the world's most powerful association of game traders. They're in almost every popular game, doing business."

"These people only trade and don't participate in any guild power struggles, but their strength has never been doubted."

"Travelers is notorious for having a bag full of tricks, they're like walking treasure chests. Didn't expect even they would be roused for this."

...

Players were chattering all around.

Walking shoulder to shoulder, Blue Sea and Adam were all smiles.

Blue Sea initiated the conversation, "This is quite a lively auction today, wasn't expecting it to be this bustling."

Adam nodded, a smile lingering on his face, "Indeed, after all, it's the only auction featuring two legendary equipment, it's bound to cause a stir. Have you heard? Even the understated gang from Traveler has shown up."

Blue Sea frowned, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. Those guys are notoriously wealthy. With them around, it could add a lot of unpredictability to the auction."

Adam, however, appeared quite confident, "Sure, Travelers has money, but we're not pushovers either. When the time comes, we'll let the chips fall where they may."

Blue Sea shook his head helplessly.

This guy was as domineering as ever.

Suddenly, Adam glanced at Blue Sea, a gleam in his eyes, "Speaking of which, I heard you're pretty chummy with the hotshot who put up the two legendary equip for auction?"

Blue Sea nonchalantly toyed with a small item in his hand, responding casually, "Pretty much, we're on good terms."

Adam chuckled lightly, suggested nonchalantly, "How about, after the auction, I play host, and you invite this hotshot? I'd like to see the kind of person who has the guts to auction two legendary equip."

Blue Sea returned a mysterious smile, "What's this? Is guild leader Adam taking a liking to him, hoping to recruit him into your guild? Just a heads up, that person is not your average Joe. Given his personality, he might not be willing to join any guild."

Adam arched an eyebrow, exuding confidence as he responded, "Whether or not that's possible, we won't know until we try. As long as the offer is enticing enough, I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted."

Blue Sea pondered for a moment, and didn't say everything that was on his mind, "Alright, I'll ask him. As for whether he want to meet you, that's up to himself."

Blue Sea's cautious demeanor only increased Adam's curiosity about John's identity.

It was the first time he'd seen Blue Sea treating a solo player with such respect.

The leaders of the two top guilds fell into a simultaneous silence.

Despite their previously agreed cooperation, their competitive past couldn't be ignored.

Undercurrents were always swirling.
