Lucius tapped once on Fiona's visor.
"I've sent you the full data sheet for both sovereigns."
Fiona quickly wore her visor back.
And two data sheets appeared on it.
Her eyes lit up.
"Got them. Thanks, Lord L."
She grinned wide, tilting her head toward the floating drone.
"Alright, chat."
"Two Sovereign-tier beasts in my archive now."
"Don't get jealous."
Lucius leaned back with a light smile.
"Now then, when do you want to run the auction?"
Fiona blinked.
"…Wait. You're letting choose?"
Lucius nodded once.
"It's your stream."
"It goes live whenever you say so."
Fiona stood up and stretched, still reeling from the earlier hunt.
"Wow... that fast?"
Lucius gestured lazily toward the balcony view.
"If you want to go live now—you can."
"If you want tomorrow, next week, or even next month... sa answer."
Fiona smirked, hands on her hips.
"Chat, you hear that? Total freedom."

Fiona raised a hand.
"Alright, alright."
She stifled a yawn.
"Look—I just watched Liora body slam a sea sovereign, alright?"
"So let's not get too wild."
She pointed at the cara with a smirk.
"Tomorrow. Sa ti. Live auction stream right here."
"I'm dropping Inferon and Brutaurus to the top bidders like usual."
Lucius chuckled.
Fiona winked at him.
"And now... I'm officially logging off."

Fiona waved to the drone.
"Peace out, Luxoria."
She gave a playful salute.
"Fionyx, shut down the stream."
Fionyx growled, blinking once before the cara drone went dark.
The livestream ended.
Lucius stood across the table and nodded.
"Good job there, Fiona."
Fiona exhaled, wiping a bit of sweat from her brow.
"Thanks, Lord L."
She dropped into the seat beside him, finally letting herself relax.
Lucius raised an eyebrow.
"So..."
"What do you think of Luxoria Castle now?"
Fiona let out a small laugh.
"Honestly?"
"I can't even put it into words. It's insane."
She sat forward, suddenly energized again.
"The vaults, the beasts, the weapons..."
"Liora? Like, what was that?"
Lucius tilted his head slightly, feigning curiosity.
"What part?"
Fiona gestured wildly.
"The part where she fought a Sovereign-tier beast alone."
"With a fucking railgun she grew out of her spine!"
Lucius chuckled.
"Ah, that."
"Well, she did fuse with her beast."
Fiona blinked.
"Wait, what?"
"But she didn't transform or go glowing."
"Or any of that flashy stuff I've seen before."
Lucius smiled faintly.
"That's because Luxoria doesn't use traditional fusion rituals."
"Liora uses integrated fusion tech."
"The beast doesn't appear—it becos part of her."
"Just like your Fionyx can."
Fiona's head tilted.
"… You're telling she was weaponizing her beast the entire ti?"
"The cannon, the gauntlets, that sword—that was her beast?"
Lucius nodded.
"Exactly. It's called Modular Beast Weaponization."
"It's a system we've perfected here."
"Most tars only know basic beast fusions."
"Sword types, claw types, armor overlays."
"Luxoria tech allows transformation into full military-grade weapon formats."
Fiona sat back.
"That's crazy."
"I thought that was just old myths..."
"Or like stuff only Lord L could do."
Lucius gave her a subtle smirk.
"Even your Fionyx can do it."
Fiona's eyes widened.
"Wait—you're serious?"
She turned quickly to her hoverbeast.
"Fionyx, beast weaponization."
"Let's try a… simple gun, I guess?"
Fionyx let out a chanical chirp.
Suddenly, its front legs retracted, its body folding inward.
In a flash of energy, a gun was locked into place across Fiona's right arm.
"…Oh."
She blinked at it, raising the barrel slowly.
"Oh wow."
Lucius stepped forward slightly.
"Feel good, right?"
Fiona nodded, flexing her new gun.
"Of course."
"Not only is it smoother and cooler than regular Beast Weaponization…"
She smirked.
"I can feel it. I've got the stats too."
"Like when normal tars weaponize their beast."
"But this feels more natural. Less strain. Like it's built in."
Lucius gave a small, proud smirk.
"Because it is. Yours is modular. Stable."
"It's not just an ability—it's a full system."
Fiona nodded slowly, still marveling.
"No wonder Miss Liora can fight like that."
She looked over toward Liora, who was eating.
"She fought Brutaurus head-on."
"No visible summoning. No full transformation."
"She just walked in and fought like a one-woman army."
Lucius chuckled faintly.
"Her beast is strong, yes."
"But so is her connection to it. That's what makes the difference."
Fiona tilted her head.
"So she's still using beast weaponization like normal tars do?"
Lucius shook his head once.
"Not quite."
"Normal tars activate Beast Weaponization as a skill."
"They summon their beast into weapon form."
"Use it for a while, and gain a temporary boost based on the beast's stats."
"Liora? She lives in it."
Fiona raised an eyebrow.
"…What do you an?"
Lucius pointed at Fionyx.
"Your Fionyx just transford into a gun. That's a simple form."
"Liora's beast doesn't just beco a weapon."
"It's fused with her nerves, her muscles, and her combat instincts."
"She doesn't have to activate anything."
"It responds before she moves."
Fiona stared in stunned silence for a mont, then laughed softly.
"That's why she didn't need to shout commands or flail around with flashy combos."
Lucius smiled.
"Exactly."
"Liora's beast is trained for full synchronization."
"The weapon forms are extensions of her body."
"Her movents are the commands."
Fiona gave a quiet whistle.
"Okay, so she's on a whole different level."
"But…"
She turned to Lucius.
"How do I get there?"
Lucius smiled again.
"Ah... that's a secret, of course."
Fiona frowned slightly.
"Co on."
Lucius chuckled.
"But I will tell you this."
"Your Fionyx can transform into war weapons too."
"Not just handheld guns or hoverpacks."
Fiona perked up.
"Seriously?"
Lucius nodded.
"Though don't expect sothing as advanced or futuristic as Liora's arsenal."
"Hers was custom-built for battlefield supremacy."
Fiona smiled.
"Fair enough."
