Chapter 389: [ Runesword ]

As Allen was feeling down, the Auction continued.

Precious items such as weapons and armors created by famous blacksmith God Clan and many ancient Godly relics and artifacts also appeared.

They seemed to be powerful items that even God Clans desires as they started a heated competition once again, giving the entire place a market-like noise. However, this time Allen didn’t participate.

He has little to no interest in this kind of items… of course, some were actually quite interesting. Such as Ice Jade Lotus.

It seems like this was a precious herb that can be used for alchemy but can also be eaten raw. It gives many benefits such as healing wounds and illnesses in instant and improving ice-type abilities.

But Allen wasn’t that interested on it.

It was a useless item to him...

As he was getting bored, suddenly, a sudden burst of an exotic smell flowed out from below. In fact, the scent was so powerful that everyone exclaimed in wonder; even the people who had been repressing their emotions cried out.

This also caught the people seated upstairs attention making them focused their attention on it.

Delivered by a silver tray, was a black colored rose-like flower. It was still close, like a small bud of lotus but everyone inside the hall can feel the eerie and horrifying aura radiating from it.

After much promotion, the auctioneer finally called out the name of the next item; Black Rose.

[ Black Rose ] A demonic flower that when consumed by an individual, they would be corroded by great evil and wickedness. But there were also rumors saying that if one can resist the corrosion of the flower, they will be able to defeat the evil within them and their power will certainly double. Still, it was nothing but a rumor as no one has ever resisted the poison coming from this flower.

It will always give birth into something within the one who consumed it. A materialization of their hate and evil hiding in the deepest part of their hearts.

It will not only devour the one who had consumed it but also those people around them. That is what makes this item extremely horrifying!

However, it was a different story if the one consumed was a Demon.

As evil beings, becoming more evil was nothing to them. All that will happen will be increasing their wickedness along with their power.

Allen had read something about it before. Though, rare, Allen would never dare to consume such a thing. Especially with his mental condition extremely unstable at this moment…

But how come that thing was in here…?

Allen wasn’t the only one who had thought of such question. All the people in the hall started their discussion as an expression of disgust overwhelmed the entire hall.

But when Allen stared at the [ Black Rose ], the Auctioneer finally opened the other tray and revealed a white colored rose, almost identical to the [ Black Rose ]; [ White Rose ].

So that’s what it was… seeing this, Allen finally realized why the Auction House dared to auctioned this kind of evil thing.

Love and Hate relationship.

To counter the negative effects of the [ Black Rose ] and reap its benefits without any repercussions, one must consume the [ White Rose ] dripped with a lover’s blood or anyone who was feeling a very strong emotion towards the one who will be consuming the [ Black Rose ].

[ Black Rose ] was the materialization of malice and darkness but the [ White Rose ] was that of a pure endless love without a doubt. To balance the darkness in one’s heart, one must receive a warm heart that will calm the raging heart.

In the Celestial Realm, it was said that the [ Black Rose ] and [ White Rose ] always grew within 50 meters from each other.

If there was a [ Black Rose ] or a [ White Rose ] growing in one place, there will always be their counterpart. However, either one was extremely difficult to find. There were even some instances that no matter how you seek it, you might find one kind but never the counterpart.

Thus, these items were extremely rare and can only be sold in a pair.

Still, it wasn’t that highly valuable for God Clans, especially the main ones.

As what have mentioned before, [ Black Rose ] might be tamed by the [ White Rose ] still, the benefits would never be comparable to when a pure Demon Consume it without eating the [ White Rose ].

And if the one who consumed it got unlucky, a hint of malice and darkness might remain in their hearts even after consuming the [ White Rose ].

Such danger was not worthy of the benefits that one would receive.

Still, those God Clans with dark aspects would certainly not overlook this opportunity!

Although they wouldn’t dare to consume a [ Black Rose ] but with [ White Rose ] in tow, this will become a great opportunity to increase their power.

And as expected, the two rose’s value instantly increased as if seating in a rocket.

“16 gold and 9 silver Black Coins!”

“18 gold Black Coins!”

“20 gold Black Coins!”

“20 gold and 4 silver Black Coins!”

… …

And finally, it had passed the 20 gold boundary and was still rising rapidly. Allen didn’t want to join, No; even if he wanted to he doesn’t have any means to participate.

He was a poor brat as of this very moment!

He could only watch as large God Clans started competing with each other.

It wasn’t only mere 1, 2, 3 God Clans that possess Darkness aspect. In fact, probably most possess at least a bit of Dark aspect on them.

“25 gold Black Coins!!” A sharp and sweet sound resounded; it did not sound too urgent… nor did it sound too slow.

Allen turned his head and look towards the 8th VIP box. That person in there was certainly wealthy…

“25 gold and 4 silver Black Coins!” But no one was fazed at all.

“I’m sorry miss but these rare flowers are needed by someone in my younger generation. I can’t give up that easily, huhuhu,” A man’s voice laughed cheerfully.

“Hahaha so am I, 26 gold Black Coins!” Another male’s voice appeared.

“No no, this item was needed by my niece so I can’t back out, 27 gold Black Coins!”

“And so am I!” The same female that Allen had marked on responded.

It seemed from the woman’s voice, one could see that she was smiling. Her voice sounded like a cool breeze passing through a forest on an autumn day; it was clear, and there was no hint of anger in it.

Still, hearing this, Allen can’t help but feel admiration for whoever this woman was.

Among all the women participating in this auction, she was unique among all. Courageous and brave… aside from the wealth, she had been flaunting without care, her strong character could be felt by everyone in the hall.

“I don’t know if this item could be of use but as long as this can help that person even a bit, I would give everything I had to support that person!” A clear and enchanting voice echoed, striking the hearts of every people, including Allen.

“This has become my purpose since a long time ago… so, even if I had depleted my own wealth, I will persevere, kindly; 30 gold Black Coins!”

“… …” the entire hall turned eerily silent. Even the large God Clans started wavering.

“What a faultless love… I really envy the one who had the ability to make the miss give all of her love to him. Hahaha, it would be a shame for an old-timer like me to still compete for young ones. Very well! I shall concede!”

“I thank the old master, I shall not forget this favor as long as I live,”

“Hahaha, its fine, it's fine. It was not a precious favor in any case. Although [ Black and White Rose ] were valuable but it’s not a precious item that we can’t do without,”

Hearing their conversation, Allen couldn’t but smile as he looked at the other boxes; it seemed that his look was one of admiration.

Some Gods and Deities might be detestable and untrustworthy but it’s not like all of them were the same.

When the old and ancient Gods had fallen, when the War of Myth had ended, the old culture and tradition had somewhat alleviated by the new generation.

Although there were some who still clung to the past glory but there was already few of those who had embraced the new era and started learning from the old history.

The hate between God Clans had somewhat weakened, turning towards a good direction.

Well, I guess even if they wanted to continue their old gratitude and grudges, but in this warring era, the Demon Invasion and Lucifer’s impending resurrection, if they wanted to survive they needed to gather together. Only idiots and fools are those that thought that they still can stand in front of such enemies alone.

Well, it’s not like all of them are lost.

“I apologize beforehand but, these items, they really needed by my son. 30 gold and 2 silver Black Coins!”

“30 gold and 8 silver Black Coins!”

… …

Everyone present on the scene has a powerful personality in their own merit.

And although 30 gold Black Coins was not a small amount, it wasn’t very high either. Giving face in this kind of institute was also not necessary.

Identities and God Clans don’t matter in this building as long as one has money that is what is most important!

The competition was extremely fierce but in the end, the woman had prevailed for 42 gold and 6 silver Black Coins. That woman was really persistent and stubborn, never giving up causing others to feel nothing but admiration.

Well, at least, in the end, she won…

Allen almost wanted to clap.

The auction continued but nothing else had entered Allen’s eyes.

Though for some reason, that particular woman was also the same and suddenly turned silent… probably out of juice…?

Well, no wonder about that. The money she had brought was probably all used up…

After this small incident, the auction restarted again and there were several precious goods that were bought by a few people.

And now, Allen was for better or for or worse, realizes he didn’t want or could do anything else but to watch from the sidelines. He was reduced to a spectator that only came here just for fun and to expand his knowledge, never once thinking of buying anything.

Really, he always felt that he was a Protagonist from some story but now... he couldn't help but feel depressed. If he was a Protagonist, he would be hoarding those wonderful items right now...

Reality sucks....

At this moment, as the final item to be auctioned, everyone was feeling expectant.

Then, a servant of the auction center took out a long large box and put it on the stage and this time around, the auctioneer did not let the buyers ask for a price blindly but opened the lid to reveal the item.

From what the auctioneer had said, it seems like this was the last item for today, the finale.

However, when Allen saw the item, his eyes instantly turned around.

Inside the box was a two-handed sword, giving horrifying chills.

Dyed in obsidian black, there were strange runes carved deep into its blade. Almost similar to Rebellion, at the guard of the sword, a skull of a horned ram could be seen on it.

Allen was shocked when she took a good look at what was in the box.

This sword… this rune sword… was none other than; “Frostmourne!”

Why is a mythical sword from WoW in this world…?

First the [ Black Rose ] now the [ Frostmourne ]…? Why do these things keep popping out all of a sudden…?
