Chapter 381 Chapter380-The Amethyst Magic Dragon Set
"Dear players, next up, I'm going to introduce a very rare piece of equipment to you all!" Isabella's voice, excited and melodious, instantly captured everyone's attention. She considerately waited for the argument on the second floor to subside before introducing the second piece of equipment up for auction.
"It's not quite accurate to call it a piece of equipment; it's more appropriate to say it's a complete set of equipment. You can see its appearance and attributes for yourselves."
The audience's gaze was naturally drawn to the box under the spotlight. Inside lay a suit of armor shimmering with amethyst and gold light, each piece inlaid with a large amethyst. The amethysts radiated intense magic energy, captivating everyone who looked upon them.
"This is the epic-tier Amethyst Magic Dragon Set! It's a full set of equipment, consisting of a breastplate, boots, wristguards, and a helmet. Each piece contains the power of a millennium-old Magic Dragon, providing the wearer with tremendous defensive and offensive enhancements."
Isabella continued her enthusiastic introduction. Simultaneously, detailed attribute information for each piece of the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing these enhancements, the entire hall erupted in excitement, and the top guild leaders on the second floor were awestruck, standing up in amazement.
As is well-known in the world of Godslayer, items of the same tier are generally more valuable than individual pieces of equipment. However, when it comes to a complete set like the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set, the scenario is entirely different. With attributes roughly equivalent to two high-quality legendary equipment pieces, this set essentially elevates a whole tier in quality.
Sets are rare in Godslayer, especially ones as complete and specialized in defense as the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set. Defensive equipment is already rarer than offensive gear. The fact that Adam is considered the most powerful among the top guild leaders is largely due to his inheritance of a defensive epic-tier knight set from the Holy Light Church. This highlights the significance of such sets, capable of altering destinies, empowering the weak, and strengthening the strong.
Such equipment is not something ordinary guilds can afford; only the top guilds possess the resources to acquire them!
"As this is an epic-tier set, it signifies higher value and cost. Now, I invite the guild leaders to start the bidding," Isabella's clear and melodious voice echoed in the auction hall.
"The starting bid for the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set is 20 million in cash, with each increment not less than 5 million!"
As soon as Isabella finished speaking, Adam was the first to stand, smiling as he said, "Genesis Guild bids 30 million."
The crowd was abuzz, not surprised by the bold move of the financially mighty Genesis Guild, which had raised the bid by ten million right off the bat. Chillminder from Silent Ones Guild furrowed his brow, his gaze flickering with indecision. Eventually, he stood up and declared, "Silent Ones Guild bids 40 million."
Kingserp of Dawn Guild followed closely with his sinister voice: "Dawn Guild bids 45 million."
Previously silent, Blue Sea also joined in: "Blue Sea Guild bids 50 million."
As several big shots successively announced their prices, the atmosphere in the auction hall visibly tightened with tension. Each big shot in their respective second-floor boxes was eager to acquire this epic-tier set. Snagging the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set could potentially add a top-tier powerhouse to their guild, an allure no major guild could resist.
John lounged on the sofa, casually observing the intense competition. To him, this set of equipment wasn't particularly appealing. With better, Godslayer-specific equipment at his disposal, the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set couldn't even serve as an embellishment for him. He left the competition to the likes of Blue Sea and others.
Next to him, Loving_Lollipop could only wistfully watch others compete for the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set, knowing well his financial capacity fell short of affording such luxury. Whether this would spark in him a desire to strive harder for wealth remained to be seen.
On stage, Isabella asked with a light chuckle, "Blue Sea Guild bids 50 million. Do we have any higher bids?"
In reality, Isabella's question was almost rhetorical, as Blue Sea's bid was still far from reaching the true value of the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set.
"60 million!" Adam's composed voice rang out again, exuding a determination to win at all costs. For such a rare epic-tier set, any expense was justifiable.
"Dawn Guild bids 65 million!" Kingserp retorted with a cold laugh, showing no sign of backing down.
Each guild leader present on the second floor was a veteran with rich experience. Even faced with such a rapidly escalating bidding war, they remained calm, fully aware of the true value of the set.
The intense competition continued unabated.
Blue Sea, wearing a faint smile, declared, "Blue Sea Guild bids 70 million."
Blue Sea's bid made most players on the first floor gasp in shock. That was 70 million – a sum that, in cash, could fill an entire room, yet here it was being used to bid on a piece of virtual game equipment. It was a testament to the fact that wealth indeed allowed for extraordinary liberties.
The other top guild leaders were not to be outdone, each successively raising their bids. The fire of the auction blazed even brighter, heating up the atmosphere of the auction hall to an unprecedented fervor.
The bidding swiftly escalated to ninety million, each increase eliciting astonishment from the audience. Finally, the auction price halted at one hundred million. Isabella, with a coy laugh, announced, "Dawn Guild bids one hundred million! Are there any higher offers?"
The hall fell into silence as the other big shots weighed the decision to raise their bids. Honestly, one hundred million was already nearing the actual value of the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set. Despite its rarity, it was still an epic-tier item, and reaching a nine-figure bid was quite sufficient.
Amidst the hesitation, a cool voice suddenly rang out, "One hundred and ten million!" This startling bid sent a wave of shock through the audience, followed by an uproar of chatter. Heads turned towards the source of the voice, and upon seeing Bambooist's enchanting figure, they understood. It was the Traveler's Association.
In the gaming world, even the so-called top ten global guilds were simply more powerful with more elite members. But when it came to wealth, the Traveler's Association, a pure gaming merchant alliance focused solely on virtual item trading, was unmatched.
Seeing the Traveler's Association entering the fray, Kingserp's expression instantly turned grim. "Bambooist guild leader, what is the meaning of this?"
