Suddenly, a group of spectral staff appeared from within, bringing out the SS-Rank Apex Predator, Vorafang.
The moment the massive black and crimson-furred wolf entered the grand hall, the entire crowd fell into silence.
Its blood-red eyes gleamed, its presence instinctively radiating danger.
But even more shocking to the onlookers—
"Wait… what are those?!"
"Are those… spectral beings? Are they using spirit beasts as staff?!"
"How the hell did they do that?!"
Even some of the elite nobles and tamers, who had seen countless rare beasts, were visibly shaken.
Lucius, standing above on the upper balcony, simply smirked.
"Heh. You fools are only surprised by the staff? Even the one talking to you is a spirit beast."
His eyes glimmered with amusement as he watched the reactions below.
Then—
Liline, still hovering in the air, raised her hand to silence the murmurs.
"Now, we will immediately begin the auction for the SS-Rank beast—Vorafang, The Apex Predator."
