He lifted the black cloth.
A long and unique blade lay on the sword stand.
A faint purple light shimmered, emitting a captivating allure.
It lay there quietly, yet a sword qi capable of tearing through the sky was already permeating the air.
In an instant, many blade-wielding professionals clenched their fists.
It directly told them that this blade was even more powerful than the previous Nether Alloy Enchanted Sword.
This seemed to be a blade with a hint of divinity.
As this thought flashed through their minds, everyone was startled.
This—
Another existence tainted with divinity?
Demigod resource?!
"Before introducing this blade, I will tell you its origin."
Lop narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long deliberation, he said loudly:
"The witherstone greatsword originates from the Wither of the MC Dungeon, and as one of the MC Dungeon's floor overlords, the Wither's strength is a genuine, transcendent, divine level."
"According to our estimations, the Wither's power has reached around Lv200, and this witherstone greatsword was forged through the evolution of its power!"
At this, the various nations could no longer sit still.
Although they had some conjectures about the Nether Alloy equipment before, Lop had not stated it directly.
But this witherstone greatsword was different; Lop directly told everyone that this blade was a product of transcendence.
It was an extension of the power of a Lv200 demigod, considered excellent even in the Celestial Realm.
It was inevitably tainted with divinity!
However, the various nations all overlooked an extremely important piece of information—how did the Elven Kingdom manage to kill a Lv200 Wither?
Perhaps they simply dared not contemplate that question. "Before the auction, I must state that the witherstone greatsword is a weapon exclusively for the strong."
Lop gently stroked the back of the witherstone greatsword.
"The witherstone greatsword is a Battou Sword that despises the weak; those below Lv20 will suffer backlash if they use it."
"Furthermore, this blade is only suitable for those skilled in sword techniques in combat, only for strong individuals with exceptional close-quarters combat abilities."
"It has no enchantment for grabbing; the witherstone greatsword pursues ultimate damage output."
"Someone with poor combat ability wielding it will deal less damage than even a mid-level magic item."
"A combat genius wielding it will deal enough damage to crush a Nether Alloy Enchanted Sword."
"Therefore, those wishing to bid on this witherstone greatsword, please consider first if you have the qualifications to wield it and unleash its full power."
To be honest, even the Nether Alloy Enchanted Sword before did not have its own exclusive weapon name.
The witherstone greatsword is currently the only top-tier weapon with a special name and the ability to repel the weak.
This is the arrogance a legendary-grade item should possess.
Moreover, this witherstone greatsword is not merely legendary-grade; it is an existence tainted with divinity.
Everyone knew that a fierce struggle was inevitable.
In the private room.
Tashiniya looked at Su Lin with a puzzled expression. "I didn't expect it to be a witherstone greatsword. I thought Your Holiness would only release a great tachi."
Compared to the numerous great tachis that have been farmed recently, the witherstone greatsword is genuinely rare.
Although everyone present had one, this item truly couldn't be distributed to the army, not even the Dragon Rider Army.
Its relatively demanding crafting process is very technically challenging.
The witherstone greatsword is truly a good item.
In some sense, it's even more formidable than the Yamato.
Su Lin smiled, then softly said:
"Because of the Wither power of the witherstone greatsword—I'm quite curious what level the Wither's power properties would be on the Aetheram Continent." "Just be direct!"
Aelita pouted, complaining:
"A lot of Wither skulls were transported from the last floor recently, and a lot of witherstone greatswords were made. He doesn't lack them, and he thinks the witherstone greatsword is ugly." Su Lin gazed at Aelita with a deep look.
While that was indeed the main reason, couldn't this guy stop undermining him?
Veronika, however, was as good as ever at saving Su Lin's face.
She smiled, and softly said:
"That's true; compared to the Yamato and the like, the witherstone greatsword isn't very aesthetically pleasing—"
"From an auction value perspective, being imbued with the power properties of an over-limit BOSS like the Wither, the witherstone greatsword's price will definitely fetch a good sum."
Veronika glanced down at the representatives of the various nations below.
As expected, they were indeed starting to be tempted.
"So, the auction is about to enter its final stage, right?"
Tashiniya let out a sly chuckle.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing their reactions when they see the final, true divine-grade resource—""
Meeting the gazes of countless people, Lop picked up the witherstone greatsword.
Numerous elders all took action; this time, the magic barrier was even sturdier than when the Nether Alloy equipment was demonstrated, practically an antechamber barrier. Something big was coming.
Lop held the sword in his hand, and with a thought, numerous shadowy black phantom swords appeared, circling around Lop.
Even through the antechamber barrier, the moment the phantom swords appeared, they still moved the truly strong individuals.
"!"
The sound of windows being pushed open was incessant; legendary adventurers above Lv80 and representatives from various nations all revealed themselves in unison.
Their gazes, like torches, fixed on Lop within the antechamber barrier.
Those phantom swords possessed an aura far exceeding the limits of the Aetheram Continent!
Although the damage didn't seem very strong, the fluctuation of that law was definitely something the Aetheram Continent couldn't contain!
"Wither…"
A hoarse murmur escaped Gahaffa's lips.
"Is this the power of Wither?"
His intuition told him that this thing could weaken the essence of life force.
It was impossible to defend against, impossible to block.
Life force, when faced with this power, was indeed constantly decaying and diminishing.
So that's what Wither meant!
This was a strange law that had never appeared on the Aetheram Continent.
Even a glimpse was enough to show how powerful the true Wither BOSS was.
But this was not over yet.
Several special phantom swords appeared beside Lop, distinctly blue and black.
As Lop drew his sword, the blue phantom sword suddenly crossed space and struck the target location.
The piercing explosion made countless people turn pale.
But that wasn't the most terrifying part.
When the black phantom sword silently impaled the ground.
The long-brewing power of Wither erupted—
The indestructible antechamber barrier was rapidly consumed by the power of Wither, like a gradually burning and melting ice surface, and in the blink of an eye, a large hole appeared.
"How is this possible!"
Gahaffa's rough palm pressed heavily on the railing, his eyes vacant.
"Space—it was also melted!"
"It is Wither."
Lop stepped out of the antechamber barrier and rehung the witherstone greatsword on the side.
"The power of Wither is a force that can dissolve all things—life, space, elements—everything will be penetrated and dissolved by the power of Wither. The Law of Wither is also a genuine Divine Law."
"And this blade naturally carries the power of Wither."
Gahaffa's brow furrowed tightly, his grizzled beard subtly twitching, like wind sweeping through a mountain forest.
The hand gripping the railing occasionally showed bulging veins.
He seemed to have missed a crucial point.
What could it be?
Rubbing his beard, his brain spun rapidly.
A moment later, Gahaffa suddenly looked up, and the Fourth Seat of the Mark of Magic Engraving, who usually showed no emotion, now had a drastic change in expression, appearing faintly pale.
"You just—"
Gahaffa's trembling finger pointed at Lop.
"You just—released a sword skill?!"
"You noticed, huh? As expected of a legendary space mage."
Lop smiled with satisfaction, and meeting the astonished gazes of the crowd, he said loudly:
"This is another point I want to make about the witherstone greatsword—"
"Although only true warrior powerhouses can make this blade perform at its full potential, the blade itself stores powerful sword skills."
"That is to say, as long as you wield this witherstone greatsword, even if you are a mage, you can still use sword skills and release sword skills imbued with the power of the Law of Wither."
"In other words, you can become a dual-class professional with the help of this blade!"
As his words fell.
The atmosphere in the arena was instantly stifled into silence by countless roaring, twisted magical energies.
Magical energy intertwined like a tide, and many ordinary adventurers only felt a dense, airtight net covering their heads.
But they could understand; they, too, were as frenzied as those powerhouses.
Dual-class! This weapon was enough to allow someone to become a legendary dual-class professional without needing to change professions!
The value of a dual-class professional—great, goes without saying.
For the Aetheram Continent, being a dual-class professional largely equated to achieving godhood.
Moreover, this blade indeed inherently possessed Divine Law, and it was that kind of bone-corroding, poisonous Law of Wither.
Whether it was bought to become a dual-class professional or to research the Divine Law within, it was a profitable deal!
Gahaffa gave Lop a deep look, then closed the window with a stern face and returned to his private room.
The surging magical energy pushed the adventurers in the private room aside, and before Gahaffa closed his eyes, he only gave one instruction.
"Get it!"
Whether it was a blade or not wasn't important; what was important was the Wither power within the witherstone greatsword, and the technique of integrating sword skills into a weapon.
As long as the Magic Dynasty could deconstruct the method of imbuing sword skills into weapons, their current national power would easily increase several times over.
As for the Wither power, that was the exclusive patent of their top powerhouses in the Magic Dynasty; whoever touched it would die, and the King was no exception!
Once Divine Law was deconstructed, they wouldn't need to ascend to the Celestial Realm; they could achieve godhood on the Aetheram Continent!
The servant beside him nodded slightly.
They hadn't made too many bids earlier, so their funds were still quite sufficient.
On the first floor, Gahaffa scratched his head and looked at Fatz, asking:
"So, we can't buy this blade either?"
"No."
Before Fatz could speak, Zehi, who was beside him, unequivocally cut him off.
"Don't even call out a price, or you'll certainly die!"
"This blade's importance to the various nations might not be as great as the Nether Alloy equipment, but for those ultimate powerhouses, it's a fatal temptation."
"It contains Divine Law, and for powerhouses who have been stuck at the limit for countless years, this is their only hope! Daring to covet this blade, in their eyes, is tantamount to blocking their path to godhood."
"They will go mad—"
Gahaffa was unaware of these continental secrets, but seeing Fatz nod seriously in agreement.
He simply kept silent.
He felt a bit annoyed in his heart.
It was clearly an auction prepared for adventurers, yet the various nations and those old fogeys were the ones going crazy.
Adventurers really had no human rights, huh?
Seeing that the atmosphere had completely heated up, Lop didn't waste any more words, raising his gavel and bringing it down.
"The witherstone greatsword, starting bid two hundred million gold coins, each bid must not be less than ten million!"
"Now, please bid!"
As Lop's last word fell.
On the second floor, a heavy gasp came from the adventurer team's private room where the Orc Empire representative was located.
"One billion!"
