Chapter 1079: New Weapons
"So, there will be another auction. This time, the auction will bring ten paintings." Jeremy looked at the invitation. "That sounds interesting."
Jeremy wasn’t the only one who was notified. The Libation Fiesta’s closest allies, such as Curea, the Three Swords, and even the Dark Moon Mercenary, were invited.
He tried to invite as many people as possible because Clovis wanted a ’war,’ a bidding war to be exact.
He knew that after the first time, people would carefully assess the value of the painting. It would surely increase the price, but due to the limit and the challenge of protecting it, the value went down as well.
As such, Hana didn’t think it would go all the way to three hundred billion for one painting. However, since he intended to auction ten paintings this time, he would surely get about two and a half trillion Union Dollar.
It was a huge amount, but considering the upgrade of Another World Mall, this amount looked small.
After all, the last upgrade was one trillion, while the next upgrade cost one and a half trillion. If he had to follow the usual pattern, he could upgrade to the last shop with two and a half trillion, and the last level would cost five trillion Union Dollars.
In addition, the price of the items would be ridiculous. That was why he thought that this auction would give Clovis some money, but it was definitely far from enough.
However, even if Clovis wanted money, there was one thing that needed to be done. Even though he had sent an invitation to a lot of allies, he also removed a few organizations from that list.
This was a warning to all his allies that they could be removed at all times. Of course, he made sure to pick those who were trying to side with the enemy or trying to get the benefit without doing anything.
Clovis didn’t involve them in a lot of things because he wanted one thing. It was up to them to reach out to him first.
Of course, all the negotiations would be left to Angelia.
Nevertheless, some organizations decided to stop allying with those who had been removed, thinking that their organizations might be removed as well because of them.
Some organizations and companies decided to create an alliance so that they could gather the money to buy the paintings.
Nevertheless, the auction definitely caught the attention of the world.
Meanwhile, Clovis was much more interested in other matters, such as the new weapons.
"These are your new weapons." Hana smiled confidently. "I’m sure that they will be a great help to you."
Aileen looked at the beautiful pair of short swords. Besides, they were black, making an assassination even easier, especially during the dark.
"They’re beautiful. How is it? Can’t you show it to me? Try it." Erwin cheered for Aileen.
Aileen paused for a moment before looking at the tree in front of her. She raised both swords and swung them at the same time.
The blade cleanly cut the tree as though it were tofu.
Bam!
The fallen tree startled Erwin. He couldn’t sense any strength put into it. "This... Did you use your full power?"
Even if Aileen were a Tier 8 human, she would need to put some power into cutting a tree like this. Yet, for some reason, that power had disappeared.
"None at all." Aileen shook her head. She swung her blade one more time, unleashing her speed to create momentum.
All of a sudden, all the trees within ten meters in front of her slid down and fell to the ground.
"What?" Erwin widened his eyes in shock. "How much power did you put into that swing?"
"About 30%." Aileen’s power emphasized speed, not strength. She could generate momentum, but to reach that far, Aileen had to use all her strength previously.
"That is because of the sharpness of the sword as well as the heaviness. Well, the quality is good too." Hana smirked. "What do you think?"
"A short sword that helps you generate power. It’s interesting. What’s the name of these swords?"
"Moonlight Twins."
Aileen nodded.
"Well... surely, it’s not the same for the others..." Hana glanced to the side.
"Huuu..." Angelia took a deep breath and pulled her bow. The strength needed to pull this bow was actually three times that of her previous bow. She had quite a hard time, but the moment she released that arrow, the arrow flew like a beam.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
It didn’t just pierce the tree. It shattered them. The arrow was packed with so much power that it traveled for four hundred meters despite destroying a total of twenty-seven trees.
"That’s the power of the bow and arrows. There are a total of twenty special arrows. It’s hard to make it, so please be satisfied with just twenty arrows for the time being. Even if you use your normal arrow, it should be much stronger, right?" Hana asked.
"Yeah. Twenty arrows are fine. I will use them sparingly."
"Mr. Khan called them Crescent Sun and Mountain Piercer. Well, he loves the sun and moon."
"Thank you." Angelia was shocked by the power of this bow. The strength alone was coming quite close to a Tier 9 human’s bow. Soon, her dream might come true. "The sixth strongest person in the world, Moon Bow... I will definitely surpass him."
"Hmm..." Jay, on the other hand, closed his eyes as if he were trying to feel the blade. Jay had been changing his blade from time to time because he grew too fast. This time, Jay could finally get his ultimate weapon.
The memory of the time when he idolized a person who could cut a whole building resurfaced. At that time, he thought that was the pinnacle of the saber.
However, looking at his current power, Jay realized that he was still far from the pinnacle of the saber.
"A swing I have made for millions of times..." Jay raised his sword and took a step forward, swinging his sword like he had done it millions of times.
A powerful sword strike ran on the ground, splitting everything in its path.
Angelia couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. ’Jay doesn’t have a unique ability. All he has been doing is practice, practice, and practice. He has been honing a single saber to the pinnacle of strength.
’Still... is this truly what a Tier 7 human is capable of?’ Angelia sucked a cold breath, looking at what Jay had done in horror.
