The crowd murmured in awe. While this was a skill auction, the fact that Epic-ranked skills were already being traded so early was impressive.
"Now, moving on to VIP Room 2," the auctioneer said, her voice cutting through the chatter. She turned her attention toward Hades, who had already offered Skeleton Armor earlier.
Hades leaned back in his chair, his cold gaze flickering with amusement. "I'll put forth another Epic-ranked skill: Death's Grasp."
Gasps and murmurs filled the room as the name of the skill sent a chill down many spines. A spectral book floated from VIP Room 2, landing in the auctioneer's hands.
"And what do you want in exchange?" the auctioneer asked, her excitement barely contained.
Hades' voice was calm but commanding. "I seek a skill of equal rank, preferably one with offensive properties."
The room fell silent for a moment as the guests weighed their options.
