Liline smirked as the tension in the hall simmered.
Every gaze locked onto the massive beast behind her.
"Now then... Let's begin."
But she held up a finger.
"However—before we start, there's something important you need to know."
The crowd quieted instantly.
Liline's eyes swept across the hall.
"This beast—Dreadmaw—is in a league of its own. A genuine, untamed SS-Rank Sovereign-Tier beast."
She paused.
"As such, just like our last auction for SS-Rank Sovereign beasts… we are only accepting SS-Rank beast cores as currency."
Gasps rang out immediately.
"SS-Rank only…?"
"They're actually doing that again?"
"Even harder to get than last time…"
Raiven's eyes narrowed.
Sylvia leaned forward, intrigued.
Elaris just grinned.
"But,"
Liline continued smoothly, "we understand that not everyone keeps dozens of SS cores in their pocket."
A few chuckles echoed.
"So here's the condition."
