"I’ll offer three!"
Bids rang out one after another, instantly igniting the atmosphere.
The Giants were simple-minded, making no effort to hide their craving for fine goods.
Soon, the price was raised to five Tier Five Magic Cores.
Just then, a middle-aged Giant who had been sitting silently in the front row spoke in a deep voice.
"I offer a complete set of materials from a Tier Five Peak Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus."
The entire venue suddenly fell silent.
The gazes of many Giants converged on the middle-aged Giant.
A "set of Magical Beast Materials" was a unique unit of asurent used by the Hill Giants when trading high-value items.
It didn’t refer to the entire Magical Beast but rather a collection of all its most valuable parts—excluding flesh and organs—which usually included the complete hide, bones, sinews, claws, fangs, and most importantly, the Magic Core.
The value of such a set of materials far exceeded that of five or six scattered, ordinary Tier Five Magic Cores.
"Any higher bids?"
Raylo scanned the crowd.
The Giants, who had just been flush-faced and bickering fiercely, now looked a bit deflated.
A complete set of Tier Five Peak materials was a treasured collection for many Giant Tribes.
After all, it wasn’t easy for a single Domain Level Giant to hunt a Domain Level Magical Beast on their own.
"One set of Tier Five Magical Beast Materials!"
From another corner, a voice cried out, unwilling to give up.
"I’ll add two more Tier Five Magic Cores!"
"Two sets."
The middle-aged Giant didn’t even glance at his rival. His voice was flat, yet it carried an air of absolute certainty.
This ti, no one else made a sound.
"Alright."
Raylo declared with finality.
"My friend, this ’Mountain-Breaking Hamr’ is yours."
Raylo had given the Giant Hamr a domineering na.
The buyer then strode forward, taking the massive Battle Hamr from Kado’s hands.
The mont the Hamr of the Army Breaker was in his hands, the middle-aged Giant’s eyes lit up.
’A weapon like this can finally unleash my full power.’
"What a fine weapon!"
He praised it sincerely, shouldered the Battle Hamr, and returned to his seat under the envious gazes of countless other Giants.
He carried the Weapon away; the materials for the exchange would be delivered after the auction concluded.
The first Weapon fetching such a high price completely ignited the crowd’s passion.
Even the Giants who had been skeptical were now breathing heavily, their eyes burning with desire.
"The second item!"
Following Raylo’s call, Kado once again hefted up a weapon.
This ti, it was a double-bladed War Axe.
The axe head was like a door panel, over five ters wide.
"’The Beheader.’ The starting price is also one Tier Five Magic Core."
"I’ll offer a set of Tier Five Materials!"
This ti, without waiting for others to raise the price bit by bit, a red-haired Giant standing next to Elder Gu Li stepped forward, his voice booming like a great bell.
He clearly had a great fondness for Giant Axes, and this particular one seed tailor-made for him.
"You think you can take it with just one set? I’ll add a Tier Five Fla Crystal Stone!"
"I’ll offer two sets!"
The bids rose, one wave after another, and the Giants’ passion was thoroughly ignited.
They waved their fists, spit flying, as they fought relentlessly for their desired weapons.
In the end, the Giant Axe nad "Beheader" was won by the red-haired Giant for two complete sets of Tier Five Magical Beast Materials plus one Tier Five Magic Core.
Imdiately after, the third weapon was presented.
It was a ferocious-looking Wolf Fang Club, its head covered in sharp barbs.
The fourth was a massive teor Chain Hamr, with two bucket-thick chains connecting to an iron ball the size of a millstone...
The appearance of each weapon triggered a tsunami of gasps and frantic bidding.
The auction prices climbed steadily, and the items offered in exchange gradually shifted from Tier Five Magical Beast Materials to High Tier Rare Ores and other precious natural treasures.
The entire market clearing had turned into a sea of fanaticism.
The primitive and pure possessiveness of the warlike Giants was pushed to its absolute limit by these unprecedented Divine Weapons.
Their eyes saw nothing else, only the weapons on the platform, each one gleaming with a deadly light.
The atmosphere of the auction grew increasingly feverish.
The fifth item, the sixth, the seventh...
One after another, weapons of crude design yet astonishing power were carried onto the high platform by Kado.
The goods offered in exchange had long since surpassed the scope of Tier Five Magical Beast Materials.
"The fifth item, ’Bone Breaker’."
A long-handled mace, over ten ters in length, was brought out. Its Refined Iron handle and spike-covered head were shockingly imposing.
"I offer three pieces of Tier Five Obsidian Refined Gold! Plus a stalk of Tier Five Soul-Calming Flower!"
A voice rose above the noisy crowd.
"Obsidian Refined Gold? That stuff is only fit to be a counterweight for my hamr! I’ll offer a complete set of materials from a Tier Five Rock-Splitting Dragon Beast!"
The bids were no longer limited to Magic Cores; all sorts of rare ores, Magic Plants with special properties, and even so of the Giant Tribes’ most treasured, hidden-away collections were unhesitatingly put on the table.
Raylo’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. These were treasures that were incredibly difficult to obtain in the Human World, yet now the Giants were trading them like common goods.
As a dozen or so weapons were auctioned off one by one.
Those Giants who had not yet won their desired weapon were all anxious, scratching their ears and cheeks, their faces flushed with frustration.
One particularly burly Giant even punched the ground in frustration, producing a dull THUD and drawing sympathetic glances from those around him.
"Everyone!"
Raylo cleared his throat, his voice carrying throughout the venue.
"And now, for the final item of the auction."
"The last one?"
"How can it be the last one?! I haven’t bought anything yet!"
"Brother Carlo, bring out a few more!"
The crowd imdiately broke into a collective wail of despair.
Raylo smiled without a word, simply giving Kado a look.
Kado grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and turned to bring out a Battle Hamr from the back.
The mont this Battle Hamr appeared, all the noise in the venue stopped abruptly.
It was a Giant Hamr, even more massive than all the Battle Hamrs that had co before.
It was a Double-Headed Hamr, its body as smooth as a mirror and gleaming with a deep, Dark Gold luster.
On its head, three complex and profound runes were emitting a faint, visible glow.
An aura of weight, solidity, and imnse Power washed over them, as if it were not a weapon, but a mountain about to topple.
"’Kai Mountain’."
Raylo’s voice held a trace of pride.
"This hamr is the strongest weapon I have brought this ti. Its body is primarily made of Hundred-Forged Refined Iron, infused with Star Iron Shavings. It has been enchanted with three runes."
He paused, giving the Giants a mont to digest this information.
"’Solid,’ ’Tenacity,’ and... ’Giant Strength’!"
As soon as he said this, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar.
The previous weapons had at most two Enchantnts, and that had already driven the Giants into a frenzy.
This "Kai Mountain" actually had three! And one of them was "Giant Strength," a rune that could directly amplify a Giant’s power!
Every Giant’s breathing grew heavy. Their eyes were locked on the Battle Hamr, the greed and desire within them almost tangible.
"The starting bid: two sets of Tier Five Magical Beast Materials!"
Raylo’s voice was like a clap of thunder, exploding in every Giant’s ears.
"I’ll bid two sets!"
A Giant who had repeatedly failed in previous bids practically roared out the price, terrified he might be a step too slow again.
"You think you can take ’Kai Mountain’ with just two sets? Dream on! I’ll add a stalk of Tier Five Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass!"
"Two sets, and I’ll add two Tier Five Magic Cores!"
"I... I’ll offer our tribe’s treasured ’Heart of Molten Fire’! That’s a core material for forging a Sub-Divine Artifact!"
The price skyrocketed at an unprecedented rate.
The Giants who had already won a weapon could only watch with envious eyes, secretly relieved that they had acted early. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have the right to participate now.
The price was soon pushed to a staggering height.
Three complete sets of Tier Five Peak Magical Beast Materials, plus three Tier Five Magic Cores.
The bidder was an old, Domain Level Giant. His face was flushed, and it was clear he had reached his limit.
It was unknown whether he wanted it for himself or was acquiring it for a junior mber of his tribe.
