Amon, The Legendary Overlord



During lunch, Barbara raised a question as she savored her meal: "Mom, you mentioned something about an annual auction..."

"Ah, that's right." Bianca interrupted, displaying notable enthusiasm: "I noticed you guys have accumulated a small amount of CPs. This might be a good opportunity for you as well. In the auction that will be held in two days, you can try your luck to get some valuable items."

"I'm interested," Ariel announced. From her expression, it seemed she was more interested in the excitement of the event itself than the prospect of acquiring some valuable object.

"Me too." Mabel agreed, albeit with a hint of indifference.

"Then, I'm in." Julia sketched a gentle smile.

"Count me in." Maisa simply said.

Amon, in turn, just nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone is on board, we can go together." Bianca proposed, sporting a dazzling and captivating smile. "Besides, I have a VIP room, it will be much more comfortable than mingling with the crowd."

That was the style of a powerful and rich woman with status...

Some of the girls looked at Bianca with a mix of envy and admiration. Barbara, even being her daughter, was not immune to a slight touch of envy. However, knowing her mother's life story, Barbara understood that, although Bianca's path was facilitated by her privileged position, everything she had achieved was the result of her relentless effort.

There were many who were born in golden cradles, far luckier than her mother, and who in less than a year lost everything they inherited. This illustrated Bianca's talent and dedication.

Mabel, on the other hand, was a case apart. If she wanted to, she could use her grandmother's name and easily get a VIP room. In fact, if the auction house knew she was Kaia's granddaughter, the Great Master in Mental Elemental Runes, they would mobilize the best services to accommodate her.

"Before that, I believe it would be better for you four to advance to Level 2." Amon suddenly proposed.

The girls looked at him, understanding what he was suggesting, but questioning whether it would really be that simple.

"I will prepare a medicinal bath as I did before. In addition, I've already spoken to Bianca, who agreed to provide a special bathtub that will aid even more in the process. I will just need some rare herbs and genetic cores of each of your elements. Of course, I will also participate, as I want to speed up my recovery."

Each word Amon uttered confidently, dispelled the girls' doubts. They knew that when he committed to something, he rarely failed unless there was an unforeseen circumstance. Thus, they trusted that what he proposed was fully possible.

"Okay, what do you need?" Ariel was the first to question, seeming the most eager to strengthen herself, for reasons perhaps only she knew.

"To be fair, each of us needs to get our own Level 2 Genetic Cores. Of course, they can also be 10 of level 1." Amon clarified: "As for the medicinal herbs and other components, I will be responsible. At the moment, my goal is not to expand my genes, but to speed up my recovery. Therefore, I will reinforce the preparation with higher healing properties and herbs, which will also be beneficial to ensure a safe advancement for you."

"Alright." The girls promptly agreed.

Only Bianca seemed aware that Amon's expenses were greater than the others, but she could imagine that he was willing to go down this path, knowing this. So, she remained silent, sporting a gentle smile while her eyes rested on Amon.

A few hours later...

The purchase occurred without a hitch. In fact, it wasn't as if they had gone out, and unexpectedly some problem had cropped up. Even with Amon in a weakened state and his skin slightly pale, nobody dared to bother them.

Perhaps this was due to the girls being around him, casting fierce looks in all directions like predators ready to pounce on anyone who tried to intimidate him?

Could it be that?

In Bianca's sauna room, a spacious area of 400 cm by 500 cm, there was enough room to accommodate a bathtub intended for the preparations of the medicinal bath.

The aforementioned bathtub, already positioned in the room, had generous dimensions, capable of accommodating more than seven people simultaneously. With its 299 cm in length, 299 cm in width, and 99 cm in height, the piece was an example of refinement and beauty, made of white porcelain.

Beyond its sophisticated aesthetics, the bathtub had a specific functionality: it was designed for the preparation of medicinal baths. It had a built-in system with fire cores that provided the necessary energy to prepare the bath and maintain the ideal temperature for the user.

Adding to this feature, the bathtub had several slots for genetic cores, intended for individuals with different attributes who would enjoy the medicinal bath. To maximize the effect, there were eight places in total for each allocated genetic core. Depending on where the user placed the genetic core, the part of the medicinal bathtub would emit a distinct color light. The illuminated area would indicate where the user could benefit more from the elemental properties of the specific genetic core.

After listening to Bianca's detailed explanation, the girls were impressed with the complexity of that creation. The object might look simple at first glance, but delving a little deeper, it was clear it was not easy to create something like this. It would require a meticulous process and a considerable investment of resources to create something with so many details.

"This must have cost a fortune, didn't it?" Maisa conjectured out loud.

"Hehe, more or less. I bought it at last year's auction and I believe I got a good price, 200 thousand CPs," Bianca answered with a smile.

"2-200 thousand?!" Maisa gasped lightly. Although she currently had that amount, to her it represented an astronomical sum, something she did not expect to accumulate again so easily.

"Don't be so worried." Bianca advised: "It might seem a lot now, but as your powers increase, you will realize that even 1 million CPs is not such a high amount."

Of course, Bianca did not mention that to accumulate this amount, not only power was needed, but also luck. Sometimes, just power was not enough. For example, if someone accepted a mission in the tower and went to another world to accomplish it, but ended up failing and having to pay for the failure? The person would not only be left without profits but also with the account in the red. And this happened frequently, especially with young people who overestimated their capabilities and ended up accepting missions too difficult to execute.
