My Soul card is a Reaper

Then, it was Hazel Corporation's turn to drop out at 15 Billion, rushing the battle into a finale between Stoneroses and Fire Temple.

"I'll add 5 tons of 24k gold in the form of bars." Helix abruptly raised the bidding by adding 3 billion credits worth of gold.

"Okay, now the current highest bidding value is 18 billion 300 million credits," Ramiel announced to give clarification for everyone and turned towards the remaining alive player. "Mr. Epidicus?"

The Fire Temple Elder stayed silent for a couple of seconds as if he was thinking about something. He took out a pair of glossy black earrings and a glossy black pendant with mystical runes on top of them. "Then, I'll add these two sets. Please appraise them and give the price."

It took a whole minute for Ramiel to appraise them and looked at the Fire Temple Elder in surprise. "These two accessories contain at least 92% Adamantium, 5% Mithril, along with other metals…  Moreover, these two are also a set, although I'm not sure what their ability though. Please explain, Mr. Epidicus."

The Elder of Fire Temple stood on his feet and answered, "Each one boosts one's strength by half a fold. However, when one person wears both of them, the wearer's strength boosts by One and a half fold (150%).

Adding on top of that, their soul energy recovery rate will be also boosted by 10 fold (1000%). Each of them separately is a rank-9 item but together, the set accessory is an Earth grade item (rank-10). It was named as Dream of Mira."

Everyone seems impressed with the abilities as increasing strength by that much is the same as saying that a low-rank-8 becomes a peak-rank-8 expert. A peak-rank-8 will become a mid-rank-9 expert.

"Oh!" Ramiel's eyes lit up in excitement as he caressed them. "If what you say is true then, our offer will stand at 10 Billion credits."

With just a single set, Fire Temple Elder pushed the maximum bid to 27 Billion. Helix who was out of treasures and only has nothing but gold bars to offer fell into thoughts. "To gather such an amount in a week, I will have to empty all of our reserves and incur father's wrath."

"I drop." He raised his hand.

"Okay, the current bid is 5 Billion credits, Snowfield Scepter, Shield of Zelnaris, Ring of Aether, Sun brooch, Infernal Whip, Voltenux Armor, Spirit seal stone, and a set accessory named Dream of Mira, worth totaled to 25 billion and 630 million credits. Anyone else to bid?"

The whole hall was filled in the silence.

Ramiel was also satisfied with the outcome, getting far more worth than they expected. "Going once, going twice…"

"You forgot me, Vice President Crescent." Just right then, a familiar voice interrupted the announcement.

It was only then, he realized that this person has never made a move until now. "Mr. Gedalya, do you wish to bid higher?" He asked.

Gedalya let out a chuckle, crossing his arms. "It was actually fun to see these people fighting among themselves when the result is already been decided from the start. Anyway, I will bid with a single item. You will directly give me the Jewel in exchange for it."

His words made everyone frown as it seemed like he was insulting them by indirectly calling everyone fools. Meanwhile, Helix snorted in response, "I'm really curious what kind of relic you will take out to amaze us."

"Exactly," Gedalya grinned as he heard the words while summoning his storage card. "You guessed it right. Too bad there's no reward."

A golden Chalice appeared in his hands, "The Chalice of Athena, a Celestial grade relic (rank-11)."

Everyone sensed strange energy emitting from it. At the same time, they appeared to be as drawn towards it similarly like they felt for the Jewel.

Gedalya explained, "This Chalice belonged to the Goddess Athena herself and was presented to the first head priest of the Temple of Wisdom and War. During our split up, to promote peace between the two factions, it was given to our ancestors.

One just needs to pour water into it. The water turns into magical water filled with divinity. And those who drink the water will have their soul become powerful, their soul energy becomes a lot denser and their Arcana Spirit will mutate for sure. In rare cases, it will even evolve into upper grade.

There are only two limitations. One, it only works once a lifetime per person, and Two, it won't work on Demi-God.

The most astonishing feature is that it can be used an unlimited number of times. If not for the rejection of Goddess Athena's item in our Temple, I would have never brought this one out."

Looking at the shocked Ramiel, Gedalya smiled as he raised it, "Can you appraise it, Vice President Crescent?"

Ramiel holds the golden chalice with very care. After holding for a couple of minutes in silence, Ramiel praised it, "Absolutely stunning. I can't appraise its true value but this one is definitely above even the top-tier Earth grade item. There's no need to evaluate this one. You can have the Jewel of Life in exchange for this."

Ramiel forgot to count and he forgot about the donation to the charity. Everything fell before the golden chalice in his hands.

Stepping down from the stage, he then walked towards the table where Gedalya was sitting.

"Told you so…" A haughty expression appeared on Gedalya as he glanced at Helix. The latter felt embarrassed and wanted to hide his head in shame.

Before Ramiel handed over the crown, he gave a stern warning to Gedalya that if the effects were unproven, then, he and his Temple will pay dearly for cheating. To which, this Elder replied that Vice-President himself can drink it before everyone and feel the effects.

It was at this moment, another voice came from the front table, interrupting the transaction once again. "Wait a second, Vice President Crescent."

Everyone turned in the direction of the source of the sound. It was Barton who raised his voice.

"What is it, Mr. Everglade?" Ramiel wondered whether this guy has any problem with the transaction or something.

He was then informed of how he wasn't following the rules of the auction by not bothering to ask anyone else.

"Why waste the time?" Gedalya replied in place of Ramiel. "Is there anyone here who has a better relic than our Golden Chalice? Elder Epidicus? Do you have one?"

Ramiel also turned his head towards the old man who was representing the Fire Temple. Will he also put any Celestial grade item like this? The others also wondered the same.

Alas, Epidicus crushed everyone's expectations by shaking his head and admitting defeat.

"Okay, I will ask one last time. Is there anyone that can outbid this item?" Ramiel asked everyone just for one last confirmation so that he could take the chalice with him while returning.

"I do, Vice President Crescent." Barton broke the silence as he took out a golden mirror from the storage card.

"That is…" Azzy's eyes were widened in surprise. Even Aegis and Sahara were the same.

Everyone placed their attention on the mirror. Unlike the crown and chalice, it didn't have any kind of radiance. If anything else, it completely appeared like a normal mirror.

"I bid my Djinn."
