Hitman With A Badass System

"Honored guests, we shall now auction away the first item. What this hidden item is, I will reveal it to you now ``. With that, the old man extended his arm to grab the cloth and abruptly tore it away to reveal a small vial bottle. Inside the small vial, a silver liquid glowed, lighting the entire stage with its light.

"The very first item is the Radiant Soul Healer. For the honored guests who are unfamiliar with this item, it is hard to come by medicine that has the healing effect of a hundred high-quality healing potions combined. As its name suggests, it could not only heal physical wounds but it could also heal any soul damages to a certain point"

"The starting price of the miraculous once in a lifetime item has the starting price of 50,000 gold coins! Minimum 5000 increase per new bid, you may begin bidding!"

"55,000 gold coins!"

"60,000 gold coins!"

"70,000!"

"75,000 coins!"

...

Just as the host finished speaking, the people in the audience immediately started to fight over the Radiant Soul Healer. This potion was indeed superior in every way compared to the healing potion Michael brews. This potion required extremely rare herbs to brew. He could make more gold coins by selling normal healing potions than searching for these rare herbs which was a waste of time in his opinion. Of course, he could always buy the herbs from the system store except the system's price for each herb was ridiculously high.

As Michael sat and watched the people around him fight for the medicine, there was a faint smile on his face. He realized this auction is going to make him richer than he was initially expecting. After a fierce battle, the bottle of Radiant Healing Potion was sold to the highest bidder for a price of 95,000 gold coins.

The whole audience became silent for a few moments after the first item. Everyone stared at the auction stage, waiting for Goron to bring out the next auction item.

Surprisingly the old man didn't give another long-winded speech or any description about the item; instead, he just pulled away the cloth revealing a glowing longsword. The longsword was constantly producing a buzzing sound, and it was trembling from within to escape the glass box.

Many people could identify that it was a Rare Weapon with a single glance.

ANy weapon that was above uncommon class was extremely scarce and expensive in the Elon continent because, in the Elon Continent, there were only a handful of Blacksmiths who reached 3-star or star levels above it. That handful of Blacksmiths rarely sold anything they made in auctions like these since they all tend to sell the weapons to only a certain people they wish to.

Therefore it was very difficult for a rogue cultivator or one who doesn't have a powerful background to obtain a Rare Weapon. The last time Michael saw these weapons in action was at Nether Realm. They were quite powerful yet he wasn't interested in them as the people sitting downstairs.

"This is a Rare Weapon, and the starting price is 100,000 gold coins. Each new bid must be increased by 10,000 coins. Do I have 110,000?"

"110"

"120,000 coins"

...

The audience sitting downstairs kept bidding. Some people had earned quite a lot of money during many trade fairs around the continent, and they didn't have a Rare Weapon. Therefore, they wanted to buy one now.

The auction house did after all have to consider everyone's feelings. If the entire auction was all about exceptional and precious items that only people in VIP rooms could afford, those people downstairs would only be bystanders. Hence, the auction started auctioning some ordinary items. It also served to make the atmosphere livelier.

The special guests on the second floor were all quiet. They didn't pay any attention to the sword. They knew that the auction had just started, and the items shown at the initial stage would just be some ordinary items. The real deal would appear later.

"Noah, why aren't you bidding?"

Michael was surprised to see Noah, Alicia, the golden babaroo named Norvin, and Maisy, the little girl who tried to take Nightmare for herself in the Nether Realm. He felt Nightmare's body heat rising looking at the mirror in his hands.

"So they are also here," Michael thought. He kinda expected to see familiar faces like them, after all, this was a major event in the Elon continent.

"I don't want another Rare weapon" Noah waved off Norvin.

In the auction hall, a rogue warrior won the Rare Weapon for 200,000 gold coins. This was basically the standard price for an ordinary Rare Weapon. There were after all different qualities amongst all Rare Weapons. For example, a Rare weapon forged by a 5-star Blacksmith would be far more superior and powerful than a Rare weapon forged by a 4-star Blacksmith.

There was nothing special about the next items, they were all some Rare category spells and some ordinary pills. The auction continued for nearly an hour, but none of the special guests on the second floor had started bidding yet. On the other hand, the atmosphere downstairs had become heated. All the warriors were yelling and shouting their bids. People began to fight over item after item, especially for the ones that were rare and very hard to come by. Among all of these items, not a single one of them interested Michael or Noah.

"Alright. All the previous treasures were mere appetizers. Next up will be the real deals. Everyone, please hold your breath, try and guess what this is!" The host suddenly stopped speaking as his eyes swept over the audience. Almost as if everyone was one huge collective consciousness, the whole audience concentrated on the stand in front of the old man. Compared to the other stands, this stand took up a lot of space on the stage.

The old man smiled, walking beside the stand. The old man looked small standing near the cloth-covered stand. The stand was at least 7ft tall and 10ft wide. "If we received this item earlier, we would have promoted it just as we did to the Epic class spells" the audience gasped. Through the mirror, Michael could see even the VIPs standing straight taking an interest in the item. He too wasn't an exception.

There was a huge red cloth covering whatever was inside, making it so that no one could see what was underneath it. However, a huge protrusion underneath the cloth allowed many people to guess just what was being hidden. Everyone in the auction hall had their eyes glued to the red cloth-covered thing.

As the old man slowly took the black cloth away, the hidden object underneath was finally revealed to the eagerly anticipating crowd.

Underneath was only the pitch-black-colored body of a magical beast that weirdly resembled the Tyrannosaurus rex. A few of the closer and more observant guests could clearly see the small black wings on the back of the magical beast. This magical beast was just quietly lying inside the cage, completely still. Its body was about 9ft long, 6ft tall. This was when the beast was lying, not when standing on its four legs. If it was standing, it would be at least 12ft tall.

"Don't tell me that this is the Fusion Stage Magical Beast…."

"Fusion Stage Magical Beasts actually look like this? It's clearly dead but how could it still radiate Arch energy?"

"Today is the day that I finally got to see a Fusion Stage Magical Beast"

"It really is a Fusion Stage Magical Beast's carcass. It seems like a Blackwing Saurus"

...

"Human, we must get this corpse no matter what" He heard Gaya's voice through the earbud. She sounded extremely excited.

"Definitely someone from your end will get this, just make sure you know who" he could tell she was suppressing her voice so no one near her would hear her. It was no secret to Michael that if a cultivator and a magical beast of the same stage fought, most of the time, odds were at the side of the magical beast because the magical beast has a tougher body, more resistance to spell damage, and innate abilities.

Magical Beasts were also very different from humans as they would usually stick to their own areas instead of strolling out and about. If they did come across any humans, those humans would surely die. He knew how powerful a Fusion stage cultivator could be after traveling with Lailah. If it wasn't for the system leaving a mark in her soul that prevented her from hurting him, he would have shred to pieces in a blink of an eye when she attacked him. She was the most powerful cultivator he had ever met since he came to this world. A few veena notes from her could kill a hundred Core formation warriors in a few mere moments. So he was able to imagine what damage a Fusion stage beast could do.

After the Fusion Stage Magical Beast was revealed, the originally quiet auction house instantly buzzed to life. Everyone's gazes gathered on the Fusion Stage Magical Beast's body lying on the stage. The sounds of intense discussion and gasps of amazement overlapped ceaselessly. Among the people present, quite a few had lived for dozens of years, yet had never seen a Fusion Stage Magical Beast before now.

"Ladies and gentlemen"

Suddenly, the old man's voice spread throughout the entire auction house. After these words, the loud and chaotic auction house gradually calmed down.

The old man standing on the stage smiled as he looked at the hundreds of thousands of people attending the auction and loudly declared,

"Ladies and gentlemen, this magical beast in front of me is indeed the Fusion Stage Magical Beast Blackwingsaurus. Although it has already lost its monster core, it is still a treasure. I'm sure that everyone sitting here knows that eating a Fusion Stage Magical Beast's meat for a long period of time will not only strengthen your body but will also improve your cultivation speed. A talented Blacksmith could forge powerful weapons and items using the skin and bones of the magical beast. Don't forget that consuming a potion or pill made using the parts of this beast would significantly decrease the chances of meeting bottlenecks in your cultivation journey. However, what I'm going to tell you next is what makes this magical beast truly special"

Including Michael, everyone was on the edge of their seats expecting the old man's next words. Many people in this world had reached the end of their lives trying to break the bottlenecks between two cultivation stages. The chances of meeting bottlenecks after breaking through to the Core Formation stage were higher than any other stage. Because of this, many were stuck on the Core Formation stage, trying desperately to break the bottleneck to reach the next stage. Although the chances of stumbling upon a bottleneck at the Core Formation stage were higher, it doesn't mean there are no bottlenecks in the stages after Core Formation.

"The skin of this Blackwingsaurus can withstand a tremendous amount of damage. Even our warriors and mages of the Core Strengthening stage couldn't cut through the skin, and they attacked with Rare class spells and weapons"

After hearing the host's last sentence, the originally calm auction house once again burst into a clamor. Everyone was staring intently at the Fusion Stage Magical Beast on the stage, filled with feelings of desire and greed.

At this time, everyone imagined one thing, an armor made of Blackwing Saurus skin that could make them nearly invincible before a freakin Core Strengthening stage cultivator.
