The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 Surprise Guest

Karl instinctively drew his maul as a shiver of ice-cold energy pulsed in the air behind him.

"Calm down, old man. It's just me." Leafa laughed as Karl spun to face her.

"Overlord Leafa? I must say, I wasn't expecting company in the middle of the day. We were just about to have lunch, would you care to join us?" Karl asked.

"Oh, that sounds lovely. I have a small update for you all, as this compound appears to hold the entire population of the area, plus one of our Generals.

The Overlords are going to spread out over the region, assisting with the cleanup, but also because of a vision the Oracle had last night.

There will be another appearance of the Cyclops and their minions tonight at midnight, and possibly for the next few nights. The fewer powerful people in the region at midnight, the less dangerous the incident will be. So, I will remain here, while two Council members are in Mitford, and the others are spreading across the country to take care of other duties.

This isn't the only spot which is having similar issues, but the dates are sporadic, and sending soldiers in advance only makes them worse." She explained.

"So this is happening all over?" One of the Satyrs asked.

"There have been incidents nearly every day, somewhere in the country. Most of them are not major incidents, but they appear to be influenced by the strength of the residents, as if they were a test of some sort. This one was the strongest reported so far, and a large part of the city of Mitford was damaged last night. However, the residents took shelter in a number of secure facilities, and the casualties were not as bad as we had feared. The unified Temple still stands, and there was a Shaman God High Priest there to put a barrier over the building while the guards rallied to help survivors make it there.

This spot was nearly the exact centre of the battle last night, which makes it unlikely to be outside tomorrow's spawn, even if the boundaries do move a little.

What do we have for barriers?" Leafa replied.

Karl gestured as he answered. "We have Tessa, the War Cleric, with her weapon and armour buffs that can spread over the whole group. Dana, our battle mage, knows some barrier spells, and the best boy in the whole world knows how to spread his defensive barrier to his closest friends."
