The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 721

The Guardian grabbed him and the world went blue for an instant, then Karl found himself standing inside the lab, and the Haint Claw on the Guardian.

Rumbling outside the blast door and a sense of loss told him that the area had collapsed, crushing the Bodyguards, which he immediately summoned to his side.

"Monarch? Thank the Dragon Gods, you’re alright. Have the security teams rescued us from the intruders? Wait, how did you get in without opening the door?" Fizzspark demanded.

Karl patted the Guardian on the head, and felt the pulse of energy from the Haint Claw.

It wasn’t awareness, more like a preset safety mechanism. The Haint Claw could inhabit the Guardian, and in that body, it could use its ethereal form to move between targets, the way that it had in combat against Overlord Ahmad’s Golems.

"Secret skill. Is everyone in here alright?" Karl asked.

The Gnome smiled. "Yes. As soon as the alarm was sounded, we activated the full lockdown barriers, preventing portal openings and reinforcing the lab. I can still feel the shaking, what did you do out there?"

Karl sighed. "I got into a fight with a foreign Overlord. We might have caused the tunnels to collapse."

Fizzspark gave Karl a confused look.

"Tunnels? There are no tunnels, at least not in the conventional sense. The whole area is one huge underground building, and the part by the university is constructed for fifty floors before it reaches ground level. If it collapsed..."

If more than just the last section collapsed, then the entire research wing of the University lab complex collapsed in on itself.

[Rae, what is happening at your end? I broke the University.] Karl asked, while motioning for the Gnome to wait a moment.

[Nobody is in the Palace yet. But we can see the fight in the city. Four portals and a lot of combat. No, five portals now. I think that three of them are our team. It’s hard to tell from here, the buildings are in the way.

But I promised that Guard Captain jerk that I would wait and help him defend the Palace.] Rae complained.

The barriers over the lab shook, and Karl instinctively traced the attack to the surface. Someone was trying to blast their way in.

"It looks like the enemy isn’t contained yet. Only the ones that were in the hallway outside the main entrance." Karl reminded the others.

"Right. Everyone, Breach Protocol priority one! Destroy everything." Fizzspark shouted, followed by Forgemaster Granite.

There were pained wails from somewhere in the back, and Karl recognized them as coming from Duke Ambrose. Find your next adventure on empire

"No, you idiots. If we destroy it all, they will kill everyone. You have to stop, don’t you understand. I’ve already..."

The human researcher stopped, but everyone was staring at him.

"You’ve already what?" Forgemaster Granite asked in a deadly tone.

"It’s just, they’re going to get in, and if we can’t give them what they want..." Ambrose stammered.

"Lie." The Guardian standing beside Karl muttered.

Granite was thinking the same thing, and in a split second, he had his smithy hammer in his hand, and Duke Ambrose’s brains were on the wall. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
