The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306: Giant Calamari

All of the Mythic members of the Alliance arrived in the next minute, securing the Guild House and the three block area around it. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

That gave the arrivals from the Arena room to gather and stage, in case they didn’t have a healer in their group. They hadn’t come with a raiding team, they had come from the arena, and many of them were transients, who joined other groups to fight, and simply wanted the bounty to keep their bills paid.

That was fine by the Nara Group.

They would gladly take another ten or twenty warriors per group and go out in large teams to clear entire blocks at a time with a single healer.

Instead of fighting directly, as Dana was doing, Karl was using [Earth Manipulation] to make healing totem statues that Tian was passing out in exchange for an IOU token. The warriors were happy to accept the exchange, as they would just turn in corpses to cover the bill.

Some certainly planned to run away without paying, but that would also mean that they didn’t get paid for their work here, and there was a chance that the statues could be tracked.

What most didn’t realize was that their IOU token could also track them down.

But the healing totem statues weren’t personal, they were an area effect, and healed everything that was identified as an ally. As long as the warriors recognized that someone was not one of the invading monsters, the statues would heal them as well.

So, when they spread through the city, it created a massive net of healing effects.

The warriors, the wounded locals, even other teams. They were all pulsed with healing energy.

Karl expected the amount of mana being used by the statues to cause some sort of imbalance in the city, but the open portals that the invaders had come through were emitting energy that was much more intense.

Mana so thick that it was condensing on the windows of houses close to the portals was flooding Drodh, and Karl could feel hundreds of people breaking through bottlenecks all over the Stone Chapel district and the Frostfire Gate region outside the walls.

Not that it would help most of them during this fight, as they were breaking through the Commander and Royal Ranked bottlenecks. But if they survived the day, it would be a large change in their social status.

Overhead, a massive distortion was forming around the battle between Matilda and the Octopus. It looked like they were both trying to pull the other into another realm, but the effects were countering each other.

It felt like the world was breaking around their battles, but nobody had time to worry about it.

There were so many invaders that many had stopped trying to collect the bodies and had started simply throwing them in piles when they cleared a group.

Nobody was fighting alone, it was too dangerous to risk being surrounded or tripped by the frog creatures.

[Karl, we need fewer statues and more stabbing.] Cara complained as she failed yet again to tear through the Immortal Ranked octopus thing.

[I was in the middle of something! How dare you interrupt?] Opal’s mental voice echoed through the area, just before a glowing Elfin figure with the same gossamer wings as Opal’s appeared in front of the Guild House.

It was an illusion, but enhanced with an incredibly potent barrier of some sort that made it look real even to Karl.

For a moment, Dana prepared to celebrate their incoming reinforcements, then the source of Opal’s rage flickered through her mind for a moment before the butterfly stuffed it away.

"I’ve changed my mind. I’m not celebrating the group’s resident busybody having a meltdown over her observation of Lotus and Ophelia’s date night being interrupted." She muttered.

Opal didn’t care that Dana was not impressed. She would show these obnoxious frogs what upset really looked like. The Ophelia and Lotus show was her favourite daytime entertainment, and they had completely ruined today’s episode with some nonsensical security lockdown.

There wasn’t even any kissing before she was pulled away.

Karl laughed as Opal’s frustrations reached him. Dana could sort out Opal’s habit of sneakily observing everything. The butterfly wouldn’t listen to him without ordering her, and Cara would help her find ways out of even the best worded orders.
