"Don't be happy too soon kid, damage like this is just another Monday to me. A spoiled kid like you, I am afraid my beating will turn you into a mental patient in the real world," Volunteer No.1 mocked as his body once again covered in blue lightning rule power.
"Old fool, don't get cocky. I did not want to use this but behold the power of my daddy's money," Volunteer No.2 yelled as red fire rule power covered his body.
Seeing this Volunteer No.1, the audience and viewers were shocked, Volunteer No.2 did not have an ego gem yet somehow he was using the fire rule power. Trying hard to cover his shock, Volunteer No.1 uttered, "One-time-use Rune item card, you used something so precious for an illusionary fight?"
A platinum-grade card creationist in the audience complained, "Fuck, this prodigal son. I pity the fool who was unlucky to have a son like him."
"I tried to do a network search but I cannot find any information on him."
"His information must be restricted."
"Does this mean his father is someone influential?"
"More influential than the southern emperor?"
"Obviously not, Southern Emperor is a national treasure. This fucktard must be the son of some corrupt bureaucrat or greedy merchant at best."
"Whatever, do you know how much an A-rank One-time-use Rune item card costs? I think I have found Son-In-Law."
"Old man, as if he will fall for your daughter —whoa, she is hot. Old gentleman, are you sure she is your daughter? I guess she takes after her mother."
"Boy, are you implying that I am ugly?"
"I am sorry for my rude words, Old gentleman. Recently I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 150-year-old Spirit Rice Wine, as an apology why don't you and I get together at your place tonight and crack it open."
"In your dreams you ugly mutt."
"Old man, don't act arrogant just because your wife gave birth to a beautiful daughter."
"Friend, that is not the way to talk to an elder. Senior, I apologize for my friend over here."
"Fuck, you simp. Whose is your friend?"
Soon all there of them were thrown out of the auction house by the referee for causing a commotion in the auction hall.
Inside the VR-City, a stream of red energy and steam of blue energy were entangling and twisting across the city skyline as if two huge snakes were mating in the air. Tall skyscrapers and buildings were knocked down due to their aggressive collusion. While in the background screams of the people being crushed by the falling rubble of the buildings played.
Soon the stream of red energy separated from the stream of blue energy and started to get bloated like a balloon and turned into a miniature sun of a 70-meter radius. While the stream of blue energy turned into a 150 meters wide river of blue energy.
The leaking energy from the miniature red sun and the miniature blue lightning river began to burn the surrounding city and everything in it. Soon the miniature fire sun collided with the miniature lightning river, resulting in a huge explosion that evaporated the whole city and living behind circular-pattern charred marks in its place. In the center of the circular charred marks stood two humanoid figures, appearing to be completely unharmed.
"That was awesome," Volunteer No.2 yelled.
"I got to admit it, it felt pretty good going all out without worrying about any consequences. I think can go all out a few more times before being fully mentally exhausted," Volunteer No.1 agreed with Volunteer No.2
Then they notice the evaporated city materialize itself again at incredible speed. While Volunteer No.1 was mesmerized by the sight of the city rebuilding itself he was distracted by the sudden scream of Volunteer No.2, "What happened?"
"I can't believe it. Didn't I just use it? How is it still there?" Volunteer No.2 mumbled to himself.
"What is still there?" Volunteer No.1 did not know what it was but after having an all-out fight with Volunteer No.2 he felt a sense of comradery between them.
"The one-time-use, fire rule, rune item card. It is still in my grimoire untouched," Volunteer No.2 exclaimed excitedly.
"Are you serious?" Volunteer No.1 had a hard time believing Volunteer No.2's words.
"Look at this," Volunteer No.2 shoved his grimoire on Volunteer No.1's face to show him that the one-time-use rune item card was still equipped in it even though he had just used it.
"Master Wyatt, what is going on?" Volunteer No.1 called out to the creator of the VR-City for answers.
"The cards and rule powers you two used so far were all illusions simulated by the VR-City using the information collected from your grimoire. This is the reason why you guys don't suffer any physical and mental damage in the VR-City, except for mental exhaustion on prolonged use of the card. Everything in the VR-City is a fully immersive illusion, that is why I asked you two to go all out. I hope you two enjoyed it now you can come out. As for those of you who want a VR-Cocoon card please follow my online store for updates about it," I explained to the two volunteers, the audience, and the viewers watching the live stream on the network. Then after concluding the VR-Cocoon item card demonstration, I did not forget to create hype about it hitting the market soon.
As the demonstration concluded, the audience burst into a huge round of applause praising the representative of the southern card creationist association for his ingenuity in card creation. The audience started a heated debate about the various possibilities and applications of the VR-Cocoon card forgetting the real reason they were here, be it to witness the challenge or Southern Capital's monthly auction.
However, the staff of the Southern card creationist association had not forgotten about the challenge. The shame and embarrassment they were subjected to, would not be washed away. With the disappearance of Chris Ainsworth and the winner of the challenge being obvious to everyone, it would be easier for them to do so.
