Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 588  Fierce Competition

"Ladies and Gentlemen! I believe you are dying to see the main items of the auction appear. So as not to make you wait too much, I present to you, the finale items of today's auction, the much anticipated, two Super Realmbreaker Elemental Magic Spells!!"

The auctioneer announced in a loud, excited voice. Immediately, everyone in the normal sitting area, and V.I.P. private cabins focused. Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!

The auction house had become so silent that you could even hear your heartbeat.

The auctioneer glanced at the crowd in front and the private cabins in the distance with a smile and waved her hand, causing two ordinary looking scrolls to appear in front of her, which then floated on her either side, releasing undulations of pure fire elemental mana.

…

Many people were disappointed to see these Super Realmbreaker Magic Spells were of fire element. However, the people who had awakened the fire element were bursting with joy.

In his private cabin, Oliver frowned. Although the chances of these so-called Super Realmbreaker Spells being Ice element spells were low, he still had hope. But now, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, he still didn't leave and very much wanted to buy them. After all, if the auction house' claim was true, these spells could change the entire structure of power. Since this was the case, it was better to buy and take them to the Sovereign mountain than letting someone else benefit.

Just like Oliver, others also had the same thought. That was why no one left. Others, who knew they wouldn't be able to buy them, stayed because they wanted to watch the exciting show and see how much money these spells would go for.

In a private cabin, Crown Prince Eric sighed, "It seems these Super spells aren't meant for us, Miss Lily."

Although she hadn't told him what element she had awakened, it wasn't difficult to tell it wasn't the fire element from the perpetual icy vibe she gave off.

Eric, however, was surprised when he glanced at her because she didn't seem disappointed. No, far from being disappointed, she seemed to be excited. This was the first time he saw Lily show any emotion on her face, and he asked, "Miss Lily, you… don't tell me you have awakened the fire element too?"

Lily shook her head, and said. "No. I have not. But the most important person in my life has."

Prince Eric was taken aback. He then smiled, "Then, congratulations, miss Lily. You have found the perfect thing to gift them." Lily nodded, and then turned to him, "I want to buy them. Can you lend me some mana stones? I'll pay you back soon."

Prince Eric laughed, and waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about paying me back, miss Lily. However…"

He hesitated before saying, "I'm afraid the amount I can give you won't be enough to buy them. Also, since the Royal family also wants them…" Lily frowned, understanding what he meant. After a while, she let out a disappointed and helpless sigh. She didn't want to let this great opportunity go. After all, If she could get these spells, her young master would become a lot stronger. However, she was helpless. If she had her spatial ring, she could sell some of the things her master gave her and buy the spells.

…

Max paused for a moment upon hearing the announcement before continuing to thrust his waist forwards and backwards, starting another round. Claire was just an early stage two-star mage, and wasn't able to handle Max. She was tired and wanted to rest. When she heard the announcement, she thought he would stop now, but when he started thrusting again, she couldn't help but complain.

"Sir~ the Super… Ah~ Spells are umh~ up… Why don't… ah~ you take a break and nngh~ watch the auction~ I… need rest um~" "You are tired? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Max slowed down slightly. Hearing this, Claire's face brightened, but in the next instant, her hopeful expression vanished and her eyes widened in terror when she heard him say.

"...No worries. Let me do something about it. I can't have you getting tired until I'm satisfied, can I?"

As soon as he spoke, mana surged out of his body and solidified into long strips which then coiled around her arms, legs, thighs, torso etc. Now, her body was completely under his control and she wouldn't need to rely on her energy to stand up.

Max didn't like this situation much because without the other party's active participation, the sex wouldn't be as fun. But when your lust is out of control, you have to sacrifice some things.

…

"Let me introduce these two spells to you all, though I'm sure you've already heard the rumors…" The auctioneer gave a detailed explanation about the spells. Of course, she did her best to highlight the fact a three-star mage could have the strength of a king mage while trying her best to ignore the fact one needed to fulfill the requirement of having higher realmed fire elemental mana if one wanted to use higher realmed power.

The audience wasn't stupid and knew this. But everyone ignored it because they would worry about acquiring the realmed elemental mana after buying them.. Furthermore, even though acquiring the said mana was difficult, it wouldn't be much of a problem as long as you were wealthy enough.

When Max had heard Miss Akilah mention this, he had immediately thought of Schwartz and others who he met in the Crimson Monarch's legacy land. If he could meet them, he could try asking for some. Of course, it would be better if he found a king ranked fire elemental mage in the Green Leaf kingdom itself, but the problem was… he was broke and had nothing to exchange for the elemental mana. For this reason, he stopped thinking about it.

"Alright. We'll auction the defensive magic spell, Flame Barrier, first. The base price is 10,000 Mid Grade mana stones. Each increment in bids shouldn't be lower than 500. Now… let the bidding begin!" The Auctioneer announced.

The auction house went silent upon hearing the base price. 10,000 mid grade mana stones… It was quite a big amount for four and even five-star mages. But the silence lasted less than a second because an indifferent voice sounded from one of the private cabins.

"11,000!"

Once the first bid appeared, more and more people started to bid.

"12,000!"

"13,000!"

"15,000!"

…

The bids rose rapidly. It slowed down only after exceeding the 30,000 mark, and after 40,000, only a few people were competing.

Oliver, who was silent until now, finally acted, and made his first bid.

"50,000!"

The parties engaged in the bidding war stilled for a moment when they saw this. Although they knew the spell was extraordinary, they didn't know it was worth more than 50,000 mid grade mana stones. So, they hesitated. If the war wasn't ongoing, they wouldn't have hesitated like this even if the bids exceeded 100,000, but now, they couldn't afford to thoughtlessly spend their mana stones.

While they were hesitating, someone made another bid.

"60,000!"

"Hm?" In his private cabin, Oliver frowned before increasing his bid.

"80,000!"

In another private cabin, a young man in golden robes, who Max would immediately recognise if he saw him, was casually reclining on his seat. He was the young master of the Dalton family, Rael Dalton, who wanted to marry Flavia. A beautiful maid was standing beside him, occasionally feeding him grapes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was the one who made the 60,000 bid. But when it was increased to 80,000, he creased his brows.

"Tch! These people wouldn't let me have an easy time, would they?" He muttered before saying, "Increase it to 100,000."

The maid nodded and did as she was ordered, while her heart throbbed violently. These were 100,000 Mid grade mana stones, not low grade ones, but Rael didn't even flinch.

The corner of Oliver's lips twitched when he saw the bid. 'Is it the royal family?' His eyes flashed, and he hesitated. Although he was quite wealthy, he wasn't sure if he could beat a kingdom's Royal family in a bidding war. After thinking for a moment, he changed his bid.

"150,000!"

…

Seeing the bids increase, Prince Eric could not wait any longer, and made his first bid on the Royal family's behalf.

"200,000!"

The auctioneer was having a hard time containing her joy seeing the bids reach 200,000. Although the Sterling Auction house often sold things that exceeded 500,000 and sometimes even reached millions, she wasn't the one to host those auctions. When she was assigned to auction this sudden auction, she wasn't too happy because the sudden auction didn't usually generate enough income. However, when she heard two Super Realmbreaker Magic spells were going to be auctioned, she had calculated and expected these two spells to fetch over 500,000 mid grade mana stones, which made her happy because as the auction host, she would receive 1% of the total sales. Meaning, she would earn more than 5,000 mid-grade mana stones.

However, now she realized she had underestimated the value of these spells.

…

In her office, even Miss Akilah was also surprised. She knew the spells were valuable. If they were not, she wouldn't have lost her composure. But given the war situation, and the glaring problem of spells, she hadn't thought people would fight over them like this.

For a moment, she couldn't help but think, "Are these people stupid?" But she knew they weren't stupid. The level of importance of these spells for her and them was just different.
