"What exactly do you mean by that?" Raven raised a brow when he heard Luna''s suggestion.
Taking advantage of what? No matter how long Raven was thinking he couldn''t figure out what his little sister tried to say.
Even Old Dan and Thomas seemed confused, hence why Luna showed a somewhat cunning smile and raised her right index finger.
"What I mean, if we can''t avoid the Star Treasury from selling Raven''s whereabouts to any of the Realm Families, why don''t we just simply make them fight for it?"
"Make them... fight for it?" Old Dan''s brows furred tightly while Raven''s eyes widened, finally realizing what Luna was talking about.
And when he also realized the meaning behind her little sister''s words, he couldn''t help but curve his lips upward so much that it looked like he was an old fox.
"Lulu, you are truly a genius."
"Right?" Luna smiled also, giggling softly to which Old Dan and Thomas just looked at each other in even more confusion.
"Care to exin to us what you two talking about?"
"Sure. Though, showing you would be easier." Raven nodded and took out his phone, logged in to the online auction site of the Star Treasury with his anonymous profile, typed for a few seconds on his screen, and logged out before breaking it into two parts.
Thest move shocked both Thomas and Old Dan, however, just as they were ready to ask why was that necessary Raven gestured toward Luna who nodded and showed her phone to the two.
"Here."
''Description: This Relic once belonged to the Rotrid, Paloma. (Hope you all have not wasted those sks, L.)
~I will personally deliver the item to the one winning this auction!~''
Seeing the extra piece of information in the description section, Old Dan and Thomas widened their eyes with awe.
"...Do you really think this will wor-" Old Dan was ready to ask something when suddenly a notification popped up on the screen.
<The One raised the bid by 50 million Novas! Current bid: 295,800,000 million Novas!>
<Skyless raised the bid by 100 million Novas! Current bid: 395,800,000 million Novas!>
<Crimson Blood raised the bid by 10 million Novas! Current bid: 405,800,000 million Novas!>
...
Upon seeing how people had gone bad shit, Ravenughed and looked at his father with a wide grin.
"Yes, it will definitely work."

After changing the description of his auctioned item and eating his breakfast now with an even better taste than ever, Raven decided to try out his newly acquired Artifact.
However, instead of testing it out on dummies and holograms within Practice Grounds, he wished to do it against real beasts and creatures.
"I wonder if there is any Realm Domain in proximity where no beasts are below Rank 35 and above Rank 40."
"There is." Luna, who walked beside Raven nodded and took out her phone, showing him a map on it.
"That one... It''s just 40 miles from here." Raven pointed at a small blue dot on the map, indicating a Realm Domain that once was an Azure Realm Gate was located there.
"That Realm Domain is categorized as a Special-type Domain. Though different from other Special-type Realm Domains that are considered dangerous, this one can be freely visited by anyone above Rank 35." Luna exined with a tranquil expression.
"Really? How so?"
"It''s because of two reasons. First, the number of beasts living in there is above the thousands and even if you kill several hundred, more will appears out of nowhere. Unless one does not clear the Realm Domain there is simply no way in wiping out all of the beasts in there."
"And what is the second reason?" Raven asked.
"The second reason? That every beast within that Realm Domain can be tamed and turned into mounts that can also fight. I am pretty sure you have seen a few traveling on huge beasts either onnd or in the sky."
"What? Those were actual beasts from Realm Domains and not their ''Artifacts''?" Raven''s eyes widened with utter disbelief.
"Artifact?" Luna drowned before sheughed softly, "Just when did you see someone possessing a living Artifact?"
"Umm... Hello? I had been gone for three years! Just how would have I known that there is no such thing as living Artifacts?"
Luna opened her mouth to reply to that, however, after realizing Raven was right she just lowered her head and mumbled quietly;<sub> </sub>
"You''re right. Sorry forughing at you."
"Why are you apologizing?" Raven frowned before he sighed and waved his hand.
"Whatever. Instead, tell me more about that Realm Domain while we travel there."
"Okay~!"

"We have arrived." Luna stopped walking and pointed forward.
"Oh?" Raven hummed quietly as he followed Luna''s finger and watched as not far away from them a dense forest was visible with an almostpletely transparent barrier floating around it.
"Oh, yeah, I have forgotten to say it, but if you seed in taming a beast you cannot tame a second one unless you kill your current one. Also, while it is true the strongest beast in there is only Rank 40, Tier 5 Beasts can possess abilities that put them on equal ground against others with Rank 45 or even higher."
"Noted." Raven nodded with a serious face and after taking a deep breath took a step forward, entering the Realm Domain.
Whoosh!
"Woah... You were right. This Realm Domain is indeed something else." Raven eximed out loud with awe when he saw the nowpletely changed scenery before him.
Outside the Realm Domain what he was able to see was a dense forest withrge trees and thick trunks, however, inside, that changedpletely.
The forest, as well as the soil and ground, vanishedpletely and now whaty before and around him wererge floating inds, each connected with the other through wooden bridges that looked both ancient and old.
Furthermore, as far as he can tell, each floating ind had its natural environment, one having small rocky mountains filled with boulders, one covered in a thickyer of snow, and one was literally a massiveke with crystal clear water falling into the emptiness below.
Luna told Raven that, that emptiness below was, in fact, not an illusion and one could really die if one happened to fall.
''Scary...''
"What? Are you scared?" Luna, who also stood on the small ind asked teasingly when she saw how serious Raven all of a sudden became.
"Not really," Raven replied without looking at his little sister and after giving onest nce at the seemingly bottomless void below his feet he began to walk toward the closest floating ind.
ording to Luna, this Special-type Realm Domain had all kinds of beasts, each varying in size, look, shape, and possessing different abilities. Some had a limited amount of control over specific elements, others could change their sizes at will, while a few had outstanding physical characteristics.
However, what really differentiated them from one another was a so-called Star System that varied from 1 Star to 5 Star with the former given to those weaker ones with very low potential for future growth while thetter, obviously, given to ones that possessed not only strong abilities but also had great potential.
Of course, it was needless to say that the number of beasts that were recorded with 1 Star was way more than those with 5 Star, by a huge margin also!
"Be careful. It looks like we have our first guest."
After crossing the ancient wooden bridge to travel to the second ind, which had the size of a football stadium and was filled with colorful rocks, Luna narrowed her eyes as a figure in the distance emerged.
It was a beast with a simr appearance to that of a lion, the only difference it had was its unique fur that changed its color to the color of the rocks around it.
It literally helped it topletely be one with its surroundings if it decided to stay motionless!
"Color Shifting Lion. It is only a 1 Star Beast that except for changing its fur''s color has no other abilities." Luna exined calmly.
"What Rank?"
"Rank 35."
"I see." Raven nodded and after telling Luna to stay behind he took a step forward while summoning a small coin to his right and a closed umbre to his left.
"Let''s see what you can do," Raven mumbled and without any second thought flipped the coin which spun and sore toward the sky before the hands of gravity finally grabbed it and pulled it down.
ng!
''Bingo!''
A wide smile formed on Raven''s face when the coin finally fell onto the ground,nding in a way where the golden side was above!
And in that very moment, as that happened, the ground around the coin turned slightly golden, expanding several meters into the distance.
''I see, so the domain''s radius is five hundred meters.'' Raven thought silently and curiously activated his Luck Enhancement without triggering itpletely.
However, the moment his eyes fell on the small panel slightly above the beast''s head, his eyes widened so much that they were ready to fall out of their sockets.
