Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

"...Is this... a Legendary equipment?" 

Isabella's beautiful eyes widened, filled with astonishment. 

As a lifestyle player, she has been working at the Dawn Breeze Auction House since she started playing this game. 

In all this time, she had never seen a legendary equip up for auction. 

Even epic equipment, a tier lower, was incredibly rare.

It should be noted that legendary equipment is not the same as legendary items. 

Many items have a limit on how many times they can be used, while equipment directly boosts a character's strength! 

Each time a epic equipment piece was up for auction, it caused a frenzy among all the guilds. 

After all, Godslayer had only been launched for a few months, and the vast majority of players were still at a relatively low level. 

Standard and superior equipment were the norm, and possessing a full set of rare gear was already considered top-tier.

John casually waved his hand, and the glow around the two items faded, revealing their true forms. 

Even without the dazzling orange light, the designs of "Medusa's Tears" and the "Serpent King's Blade" were quite distinctive. 

Isabella's gaze oscillated between the two pieces, still entranced by the flash of the gear's illumination, even if it was just a fleeting glimpse.

After a moment, Isabella finally regained her composure and asked, "Boss, are you sure you want to consign these two items to our auction house?" 

John nodded calmly, "Yes, these two pieces are of no use to me. It's better to sell them to someone who needs them."

Isabella rubbed her eyes, her expression playful as if she was questioning whether this was a dream. 

Her cute reaction drew a chuckle from John, "Come on, you're not that surprised, are you? It's just two pieces of gear, after all."

"Just two pieces of gear?" Isabella felt as though her worldview had been shattered, and she exclaimed, "Boss, do you know what legendary gear means? It's the top-tier equipment, second only to divine-level! At least for now, I haven't heard of any legendary gear in the entire server."

John laughed, "That must be because those who got the legendary gear are keeping them for their own use, right?"

Isabella shook her head resolutely, "No, I believe it's more likely that current players simply aren't capable of obtaining such high-level gear. Of course, except for you, Boss!"

John raised an eyebrow, "What makes you so sure?" 

Isabella was at a loss for words, "Boss, don't you know that such high-level gear is listed on the Equipment Rankings?"

John suddenly realized. 

Ever since he hid his own level, he had not been paying attention to the various leaderboards in Godslayer. 

There was something like an Equipment Rankings? 

With a thought, he commanded the system to pull up the Equipment Rankings. 

Sure enough, he found the two pieces of equipment in his hands currently ranked first and second.

[1st in Equipment Rankings: Serpent King's Blade (Legendary), Level: 200, Owner: Anonymous Player]

[2nd in Equipment Rankings: Medusa's Tears (Legendary), Level: 200, Owner: Anonymous Player]

[3rd in Equipment Rankings: Sword of Damocles (Epic), Level: 80, Owner:...]

...

Aside from the two pieces of equipment that John just revealed, which were top of the rankings, there were no other legendary pieces on the Equipment Rankings. 

Not even epic equipment, of which only nine pieces existed, ranked from the third to the eleventh on the list. 

Everything that followed was a sea of blue rare gear.

John stroked his chin thoughtfully, "No wonder Blue Sea seemed a little on edge when I revealed these pieces. Turns out, this is the first legendary equipment to be found in the whole server."

Isabella nodded eagerly, "Exactly, the value of these two items is immeasurable and they have such good stats. It's a pity to sell them."

John shook his head, "But they're of no use to me. Better to sell them."

Isabella was speechless. 

She knew the mysterious Galewind before her was incredibly powerful, but she didn't expect him to have such audacity. 

To say he'd sell two pieces of such valuable legendary equipment... truly a display of extravagance.

"Boss, are you sure? You really want to auction off these two items?"

John nodded, affirming, "Yes, as for the auction house's cut, we can stick to the previous rate."

Isabella immediately lit up. 

Although the value of these two pieces wasn't entirely clear yet, she was confident they would fetch a fortune at auction. 

That would mean the auction house's cut would be a staggering amount. 

And so would her commission. 

It was almost like hitting the jackpot overnight!

In her excitement, Isabella threw caution to the wind and threw her arms around John in a tight hug. 

"Thank you, Boss, for your generosity. I feel one step closer to financial freedom!"

Caught off guard by Isabella's sudden enthusiasm, John took a moment to react. 

He was left reminiscing the softness of the embrace, and rubbed his chin, "You sneaky girl, ambushing me like that. But I won't mind more benefits like this in the future."

Isabella's face turned beet-red, looking as tempting as a red apple. 

She quickly began to register the two legendary items, trying to distract herself from the chaos of her emotions.

Unbeknownst to John in the auction house, the outside world was in an uproar over the two legendary pieces of equipment. 

He rarely paid attention to the various system leaderboards, but most players did care about this official information. 

Hence, when the two legendary pieces of equipment topped the Equipment Rankings, they caused quite a stir.

"Holy cow, what's happening? Am I seeing things? Why are there two legendary pieces of equipment in the Equipment Rankings?"

"Medusa's Tears? Serpent King's Blade? Feels like they came from the same boss."

"Who's the godlike player who did this?"

"I don't know, but 'Anonymous Player' sounds familiar."

"Isn't that the name of the top player in the Level Rankings?"

"Maybe, but not necessarily. Any player who hides their name is listed as 'Anonymous Player' on the rankings."

"But honestly, even though that Anonymous player has hidden his level, he's still ranked first on the Level Rankings, which proves his power," someone added. "Those two legendary pieces might just be his."

The forums were in chaos, as were the major pubs in all the newbie towns. 

After all, the game had just started and legendary equipment was rare as hen's teeth. 

So, the appearance of two even higher-grade pieces of legendary equipment was earth-shattering news.

Inside the Silverglow pub, amidst the bubbling chatter, a human mage opened up the Equipment Rankings again. 

Suddenly, his drink dropped from his hands and shattered on the floor, splashing beer all over a heavily-armored warrior nearby. 

The warrior, known for his hot temper, was about to burst out in anger when the mage stuttered, "Holy crap, check the Equipment Rankings. The owners of the two legendary pieces have become unowned!"

At first, no one believed him. "How could this happen? Can such high-grade gear be lost?"

But after checking the rankings themselves, they found the two top legendary pieces had indeed become unowned.

"What's going on here?"

"Did this boss get ambushed, and his gear stolen?"

"How is that possible? Could such high-level players be ambushed? Think before you speak!"

"Well, you never know. After all, four hands can do more than two. What if he was ambushed by a group?"

"I think it's more likely that the boss has decided to auction the gear," a rogue class player speculated. "As we all know, when gear is consigned to the auction house, the owner becomes unowned!"

This statement was immediately met with disdain. "That's even more unlikely. Who would be willing to auction off such gear?"

The rogue held his ground, "Why not? What if the gear doesn't match the boss's class?"

This argument struck a chord, and for a moment everyone was stunned. 

After a brief pause, they rushed out of the pub, heading straight for the only auction house in Silverglow - the Dawn Breeze Auction House!

This scene was playing out in every newbie town. 

After all, there were plenty of players who came to this conclusion. 

Every player in each town was hoping they could see the two legendary pieces at the auction house in their town. 

Although they knew they couldn't afford them, it would be good to at least see them.

Before the players could reach the auction house, Silverglow's Dawn Breeze Auction House announced in the world channel:

[Dawn Breeze Auction House: Our house will be hosting a new auction in three days. We will be auctioning the world's only two pieces of legendary equipment. The auction will be held in Auction Hall #1 at Silverglow's Dawn Breeze Auction House. Interested parties, please prepare!]

The announcement was repeated three times, setting the entire world ablaze.
