Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player - Chapter 459: Final Items (2)

Chapter 459: Final Items (2)

After winning the bid for the Aura Ring, Leo had a total of 5000 MP left, and there were 8 more items up for auction.

Unlike with his gold, Leo was not keen on spending all 5000 of his MP left, if he could help it, however, if there was an item worth the price, Leo was not against spending it all either.

This difference in approach could mostly be attributed to how easy it was for him to earn gold versus MP, as while he could make millions of gold coins a day, he could not earn MP the same way.

“Introducing next, item 93…..” Raya said, drawing everyone’s attention to the next item as she unveiled something truly large.

“Behold….. The World’s Strongest Trebuchet, the only one which can hurl boulders over the 25 mile mark.

Undoubtedly one of most powerful siege weapon ever created, it’s invaluable to any organization holding ambitions for territorial expansion” Raya said, as audible murmurs of excitement spread throughout the room.

Except for a handful of players like Jace and Leo, everyone else in the room, which included 95/100 players gathered, all belonged to some sort of a guild or organization and hence they all wanted to secure this item at any cost possible.

“100 MP!” a guild leader shouted almost immediately, setting the tone for the intense bidding war that was about to unfold.

“200 MP!” another voice quickly followed.

The bids escalated rapidly, as guilds and organizations recognized the strategic advantage this weapon could provide. The room was filled with the sound of rapid-fire bids.

“300 MP!”

“450 MP!”

“600 MP!” The bids continued to soar as the room buzzed with tension.

Leo observed silently, uninterested in a siege weapon that held little value for his plans. He leaned back, watching as the final bid of 1200 MP sealed the deal with the Trebuchet going to player number 69.

As the bidding for the Trebuchet concluded, Raya quickly moved on to the next item, unveiling a sleek, dark blade.

“Next up, item 94: [Blade of the Eclipse].

This sword is a masterpiece of dark and light magic, forged by both a grandmaster blacksmith and a grandmaster engraver collaborating together. This blade is covered with runes that deal extra damage to creatures of the night while providing a shield against sunlight-based attacks.” Raya said, as the room buzzed with interest over the item, but once again Leo decided to sit this one out, as he was not really a sword user.

The bidding for the item started at 50 MP and quickly escalated, finally settling at 800 MP, as a swordsman class player secured the sword in the end.

The next item that Raya introduced was a gleaming mirror with intricate carvings along its edges.

“Item 95: [Mirror of Reflection]

This enchanted mirror can reflect any attack or spell back at its source with double the force, and can be used three times” she said, as this time around Leo did feel a little interested in buying the item, however, when he thought about using it in a practical combat scenario, he could not envision pulling out this mirror that was as tall as him and aiming it at an incoming attack in time to deflect it, and hence decided to let it be, for the lack of practicality of the item.

To his surprise however, the bidding for the item was fierce, with the price quickly rising, as in the end, the mirror went for 950 MP, much to the excitement of its new owner, which Leo thought was completely ridiculous.

Next, Raya revealed an ancient scroll glowing with arcane energy.

“Item 96: [ Arcane Barrage Spell ]

A devastating spell that unleashes a rapid series of magical projectiles, targeting up to five enemies at once, causing significant damage and disrupting their abilities.” She said, as immediately all the mage class players lept into action.

The bidding began at 100 MP and shot up quickly, with several players eager to add this powerful spell to their arsenal, as after a competitive bidding session, the spell was sold for 700 MP.

Once again, Leo did nothing but watch, as he was content with his earlier purchase and to save his MP for something truly extraordinary.

And his patience paid off, as item 97 was introduced, with item 97 being the undisputed gem of this auction.

“Next up, we have a truly special item…..” Raya said, as it was one of those few moments where the excitement was palpable on her face–

“Item number 97, A Chrono Shard.

This is one of the only items in the game that can alter the flow of time, breaking the laws of general gaming mechanics.

Once crushed, this Chrono Shard slows the flow of time around the player who crushes it for 1 regular minute, however, for the person who crushes it, the time period will feel like 3 minutes.

During this time, the general gaming mechanics don’t apply, as although the player’s strength does not inherently increase, because of their increased velocity with respect to their surroundings, the damage dealt via attacks increases significantly.

This item is the greatest Equalizer against opponents one cannot defeat simply and is a truly one of a kind treasure to possess” Raya said, as she elaborately explained all the benefits of the item.

A collective gulp went through the entire room, as there was not one player present within the room who did not covet this shard.

It was an undoubtedly broken item and everyone wanted a piece of it, however, only one player was going to eventually walk away with it.

“Bidding for this item starts at 1 MP…. Goodluck to all players” Raya said, as immediately a bidding frenzy began.

“100 MP”

“500–”

“1000!”

Within just three bids, the price of the item crossed the 1000 MP threshold, making it out of reach for 90% of the players in the room.

“1200–” said Leo, as he officially pitched in for the item as well, having an intense desire to win it.
