Chapter 967: Chapter 967 - Taming Public Image - 3

Julius listened without interrupting, which was how he listened when information was new and required him to update several things at once.

Lin’s expression, beside him, was the one she had when something confirmed a theory she had already been carrying but hadn’t been able to verify. Her eyes moved between the girls and the point where the artifact had sunk back into the ground, connecting what she was hearing to what she had already seen.

Reed listened while his hands continued their work. Fern listened with her eyes fixed on Ren’s face.

Taro heard and understood roughly half of it, his expression was honest about that. Liu stood with his arms crossed and his jaw set in the way of someone who doesn’t like what he’s hearing but knows he needs to hear it.

"The original corruption hasn’t disappeared," said Julius when the three of them finished. It wasn’t a question, he was already certain of it. "It’s dormant. Maybe waiting for different conditions, maybe working on something we can’t see yet. But it hasn’t gone anywhere."

"No," Larissa confirmed.

"Then we need to..."

The ground moved.

Not the familiar tremor of earth techniques, which everyone in this arena knew by texture and frequency at this point. This was something different, the vibration of something emerging from below, pushing upward from the same point where the artifact had just finished sinking back in.

Mutants again.

The flow that came out of the gap was immediate and large. Not the initial trickle of a new incursion but the sustained pressure of something picking up exactly where it had stopped, with no reduction in scale, the full weight of it arriving all at once.

Julius didn’t spend time thinking on it.

"Fall back." He said it to the girls, to Ren’s parents, to the healers, and to the tamers who had been active long enough that keeping them in combat was going to cost more than it returned. "Anyone with decent reserves follows me."

Lin took Ren carefully by the shoulders to help move him.

Julius was already moving forward.

The earth tamers from his group who remained fell into formation with the automaticity of people who had run this kind of sequence enough times that the individual steps no longer required thought. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The ground rose at Julius’s direction, barriers closing angles, walls cutting the space between the emerging mutants and the people pulling back into something with good elevation and resistance.

The earth knew his mana well enough by now that the conversation between them was short.
