Fiona stood just beyond the edge of the raised auction platform.
She took a slow breath.
In front of her, separated by energy walls.
Were the two Sovereign-tier beasts.
Her eyes widened as she saw them for the second time today.
Brutaurus rested within an arena styled like a flooded ocean temple.
The cage didn't just trap—it glorified him.
In the second cage, Inferon was surrounded by volcanic terrain.
Fiona whistled softly.
"They didn't just build cages…"
"They built shrines."
She looked at Fionyx, smiling.
"Alright, buddy."
"Auction Mode—activate."
Fionyx blinked once and immediately transformed.
He reconfigured his body into streamlined hover armor.
It quickly latched onto Fiona's body.
Light trails ran down her limbs as the system finished locking in.
She then floated inches above the ground, completely stabilized.
At the same time, dozens of miniature drones activated.
They spread outward, adjusting for different angles of the beasts.
