My Charity System made me too OP-Chapter 78: More Undeads IV

The bidding for the sheaths started slow, but as the auctioneer revealed more about their potential, the competition heated up.

"5,500!" a burly swordsman shouted from the main floor.

"6,000!" came a bid from VIP Room 5, the voice calm but commanding.

Leon leaned forward in his seat, considering his options. The Sword Lord Mastery requirement intrigued him. "Even if I can’t use it immediately, the value of these manuals in the right hands could be immense," he thought.

’Not to mention in my hands, I can make them more powerful’ He thought, as he joined the bid.

"7,000!" Leon called out, raising his paddle.

The crowd buzzed at his bid. The competition intensified as others began to sense the rarity of the item.

"8,000!"

"9,000!"

"10,000!"

The auctioneer’s eyes gleamed with excitement. "10,000! Do I hear 10,500?"

The burly swordsman from earlier hesitated, then reluctantly raised his hand. "10,500." Stay connected via novelbuddy

Leon smirked. He raised his paddle once more. "12,000!"

The room fell silent for a moment, the weight of the bid palpable. The burly swordsman sat back with a growl, clearly unwilling to continue.

"12,000 going once... going twice... sold to the gentleman! who has acquired the whole set of Bright Dragon Slayer!" the auctioneer declared with a triumphant smile, slamming her gavel down.

Leon leaned back in his seat, satisfied. The two sheaths were now his, and he couldn’t wait to inspect them further.

The auctioneer paused briefly before announcing the next item. "And now, ladies and gentlemen..."

Another round of items followed. While they were undoubtedly powerful, they weren’t particularly useful to Leon in his current state. He refrained from bidding until one item caught his attention—Mystic Heart Flame, a treasure for alchemists.

Roselia had lost her alchemy flames while fleeing, and although she could use her void flames, they weren’t as effective for specialized alchemy. Leon decided to buy it for her, ensuring she could return to her craft.

The auctioneer’s voice suddenly grew more energetic, pulling the crowd’s attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our next product is the final item of this auction. But this one... no one has ever seen before!" she practically yelled, hyping up the crowd.

Everyone leaned forward, intrigued. They watched her, curious about what this new, mysterious item might be.

Discovering a new item in the Tower was always an exciting event. Many challengers braved the trials and worlds created within the Tower, often bringing back unique treasures to auction for profit. However, many of these so-called treasures turned out to be little more than decorative curiosities—things of little actual utility.

The crowd murmured as a large, ornate chest was brought onto the stage, its golden locks shimmering with faint magical energy. Even Leon couldn’t help but wonder what lay within.

As the auctioneer opened the chest, the item inside turned out to be a vial—a stunningly crafted container filled with a shimmering, pure dark liquid. violet streaks of silvery-white swirled within it, giving the appearance of a night sky against its deep black hue.

"This," the auctioneer began dramatically, "is our final item. And now, we will remove its restrictions, allowing you all to use your own appraisal skills to confirm its worth. We will, of course, announce its details ourselves, but this item is so powerful that we had to take precautions to ensure you believe us."

The room buzzed with excitement as appraisers and high-ranking Ascenders prepared to analyze the item.

Leon, however, slumped back in his chair, unimpressed. He immediately recognized the item—it was the Elixir of Eternal Night, the very one he had discovered in a trial world.

At the time, he had gifted one to a teammate and used his charity system’s quantity rebate to generate 25 copies. Upon exiting the trial world, he had chosen to keep the original vial, leaving him with 26 of these elixirs in total.

"Among those," Leon mused, "I can use one for charity and earn a 30-times increase in the elixir’s potency... but even then, the side effects wouldn’t diminish much. It’s best saved for when I can achieve a 50-times rebate or more in the future."

"So, what is it?" Hades asked, his tone sharp as he watched the elderly appraiser closely. The old man, his brows furrowed in concentration, carefully studied the shimmering elixir vial before him. His expression was grave as he finally spoke.

"It’s far more powerful than we anticipated," the appraiser said, setting the vial down gently. "This… we need to summon the Skeleton Army Captain, Sir Mayers"

Hades’s eyes narrowed, his brow furrowing in disbelief. "The Skeleton Army Captain? Are you serious?"

His father Death Lord has many divisions under him and on the first flor Skelton Army is the strongest, so if he is asking to call him then it’s a serious matter.

The appraiser nodded solemnly. "Yes. This Elixir is too powerful we need to call sir Mayers if we need any chance of wining it" he said as Hades nodded.

’Sigh, it seems, I can’t get it’ He thought but he called Sir Mayers, it would be better then having it in the hands of their enemies.

The atmosphere in the auction house was tense. In other VIP rooms, similar conversations were unfolding. Nobles and Ascenders conferred with their advisors, strategizing how best to secure the elixir. Its potential wasn’t just about its direct effects—it could fundamentally alter one’s standing within the Tower of Trials.

The Auction Manager, sensing the heightened interest, made a quick decision. She stepped onto the stage with a radiant smile and addressed the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen," she began, her voice confident yet commanding, "I understand the significance of this item is greater than expected. Therefore, we will allow a 10-minute break for those who wish to summon additional resources or representatives. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—don’t let it pass you by!"

The crowd erupted into murmurs and hurried movement. Messengers were dispatched, communication devices buzzed, and tensions soared as bidders scrambled to pool their wealth or call upon allies to strengthen their bids.

Back in the manger room, Angelica (Auction manager) was already planning her next move. "Send word to our reinforcements immediately," she barked at one of his attendants, who bowed and rushed off to fulfill his command.

The appraiser cleared his throat. "Are you certain about this, My Lady? The elixir has significant drawbacks—holy and neutral magic will be inaccessible, and overuse might cause—"

She waved her hand dismissively. "Bah! Holy magic? Neutral magic? I’ve survived this long without them. I’ve been stuck on this damned floor for three years. If this elixir is my key to climbing higher, I’ll take it, no matter the cost."

Her gaze returned to the vial, her eyes gleaming with ambition. "The risks are nothing compared to what’s at stake. Power always comes with a price, and I’m more than willing to pay it."

Angelica’s lips curled into a grin as she leaned back in her chair, confidence radiating from her. ’Who is more wealthy then me on this floor?’ she thought as she just waited for the Auction to start.
