The auction took place in a spacious room, where tiered rows of seats faced a stage at the far end. The room was filled with people cloaked from head to toe, their identities concealed except for the numbers displayed on their chests, indicating their status as representatives.
Marlene, Broken, and Subaru were the only three from their group attending the auction, with the number 63 on Marlene's chest signifying that she was the bidder for their team. As more attendees arrived, they began to take their seats.
Given that many of the participants were demons, their sizes varied greatly. Some were the size of ordinary humans, while others were clearly massive creatures. One particularly large demon, despite being cloaked, couldn't fully hide its size—its enormous red arms still protruded visibly from beneath the fabric.
