Omega Summoner

Chapter 1198 Auction Ends Peacefully?

The auction started and the attention suddenly shifted to the items instead of Adrian. Adrian thought that there would be items that he will be needing in the auction, but nothing tickled his fancy. Peridot managed to buy a peculiar gemstone that she had her eyes on.

Creepysoo also got an item that strengthens undead by 15% as even undead players participated in this auction. The bidding for his item called the Skull Charm went to the price of three thousand gold coins which has a 1:5 ratio conversion for gold coins to dollar. It seems that his vlogs became famous after the Pandelympics which is why he can now afford things like that.

Creepysoo even told Adrian that he should start something like a channel if he does not want to livestream. There are a lot of videos that Adrian saved that could be in the Hall of Fame, but those videos also contain hints about Pandemonium. All the saved videos that Adrian has are linked to the Twin Gods or the Daemos and revealing them could mean giving others your weakness.

"I am already getting some commission from the videos that others recorded of me fighting. There is steady income in that." Adrian stated.

Since there were a lot of videos of people recording battles of rankers or famous players, Atlas Inc. gave the approach that the one who recorded also has rights over the video. The distribution of commission from others watching the video will be dependent on who is in the screen more. For other players recording other players, the commission ratio will be in favor of the one being recorded.

"There are a lot of people watching your videos for entertainment. They say your battle style is very unique as if you were not a typical summoner at all. People even said that if you became a warrior class then you would have already triumphed over Blade." Peridot stated.

"You are actually being talked about a lot in live recaps. Just before the auction, I was watching a gameplay analysis of your battle in the eastern continent where you obliterated Hou Yiwei, Eldritch and that Tai guy." Creepysoo stated as his admiration for Adrian increased.

"I also watched that. They were comparing Adrian to Mariposa and the player named Arsenal. They said that you are the peak combination of the two. People even classified summoners as Pure Summoners, Combat Summoners, and Hybrid Summoners because of you." Lycan stated as he was also watching that live broadcast as his future brother-in-law was being talked about.

Pure Summoners are those like Mariposa that only supports their soulbounds with spells. They are summoners that let their soulbounds do most of the damage. If the get targeted by people, then they have a higher chance of losing because they do not have much attack spells but greater protective spells.

Combat Summoners are summoners like Arsenal that fight with their soulbounds in the front. He is also a special case of a combat summoner because he can turn his soulbound into a weapon. Combat Summoners tend to have powerful defenses and faster reflexes in order to fight in the front lines.

Hybrid Summoners like Adrian are those that can switch between the styles. He can support his soulbounds and also attack with them in the front line. They are the most adaptive of the summoner classification, but their playstyle is also difficult. One needs to have an adaptive mindset if one leans into this direction. A lot of summoner players want to play like these but only a small percentage can make it come true.

"It is just the classification of the player base anyway. A fighting style should be unique to yourself so that others cannot copy or read your moves." Adrian stated.

"For the last item in our list, I know there have been leaks about this item which made other come here immediately without prior notice. To the one who wanted to auction this item, the Merchant Association thanks you for your service!" The announcer girl stated as a crate is pulled to the center.

The crate holds a small box that is covered by red silk that is expensive to buy. All of the players in the area are waiting in anticipation as they are told that this is a once in a lifetime item to get. All of them held onto their seats as the hostess took off the red silk.

What greeted the eyes of every player is a roll of thread that shines in a golden color. The golden color did not come from the thread itself but from the aura covering it. The aura covering it is divine energy that came from being blessed by the Goddess Ariadne herself.

"Can all of you feel the power that this small roll of thread contains? This is a Mythical Tier item that is blessed by a goddess herself. The one that blessed this is none other than the Goddess Ariadne who is the patron goddess of the Arachne race.

The one who obtains this item would have the chance to change their race to an Arachne. They would also be able to obtain a chance to a job class called the Envoy of Ariadne or the unique title of Champion of Ariadne. We should warn all of you that the Arachne race is only for females." The announcer stated.

"Is that not a deal breaker? A race only for women means that half of the players here will lose interest." Creepysoo stated.

"You should not underestimate the greed of men. They might not be able to use it but their significant other might. It also means that they will have a player on their side associated with a goddess. Now that lesser gods could descend, this item is much more important than before." Solstice stated as she can see the immense value of this item.

"You could clearly see all of the players here. They are waiting for the signal of bidding to happen." Peridot stated and Creepysoo looked around to see the reality of the situation.

All of the players that saw the Race Change and Class Change item could not hide their greed. This is an item that can make anyone get close to a goddess. All the players in Pandemonium are now in a craze to become envoys or champion of gods.

"Since everyone is geared up, let us now start the bid. The starting price for this would be one thousand five hundred gold. Each increment would be a hundred gold. Start!" The hostess stated with a cute cheer.

When the price was announced, the players suddenly started to flood in their bets. A torrent of shouts filled the entire stadium as this item is indeed something that could change the course of a small guild. Even the small guilds started to bet on their savings just to ensure that they receive this item.

Adrian did not show his smiling face as he knew that it would give way that he was the one that sent the item. The price of the items soared to ten thousand gold coins easily which almost made Adrian jump for joy. A price of fifty thousand dollars is not a small amount as it could already buy a decent house in his country with this much money.

"I want to ask a question if that is acceptable." One of the players suddenly stated as she raised her hand.

"Since the young miss has the current bet of the highest, we shall give you a small window for your question." The hostess stated when Piggy Bank nodded his head.

"This item that is blessed by the Goddess Ariadne. Does it have any side-effects?" The female player asked as she is basing her question on the legend of Ariadne and the Goddess Athena.

"Since the young miss asked then the answer is yes. Gaining this item would decrease your favorability against the Church of Wisdom headed by the Goddess Athena." The hostess stated truthfully as she was instructed to not lie.

"That is all." The female player stated as she no longer raised her bet. Adrian looked at her and saw that her crest is similar to that of the Church of Wisdom led by the Goddess Athena. She might have large contribution to that church to sacrifice her stake on a mythical item. It was not just her that stopped betting as a few of them also became silent.

Those that became silent are either scared of antagonizing a church or have ties to the Church of Wisdom. Other players could only pity them for their cowardice as a lot of churches are at odds with one another. They just refuse to show their hostility to one another to keep face that peace is real.

The high leveled players knew this which is why they are willing to risk being an enemy of another church just to become a chosen player of a church. In the end, the Thread Blessed By Ariadne was won by a female player from a small guild called Web.
