The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1453

Chapter 1453: Organized Crocs

The portal brought them to the outskirts of Birad, where a small army of town guards, volunteers from the local Guilds, and Nobles from the Dragon Families had gathered, looking exhausted.

Karl transformed into cat demon form and waved to the defenders.

"Good morning gentlemen. The Darklight Host has sent friends to help sort out the Crocolisk issue, and we’ve brought reinforcements from the Capital." He greeted them cheerfully.

"Can I stab him, just a little bit?" One of the rogues, a Mythic Shadow Dragon, muttered.

Dana laughed as she straightened his clothes. "Karl has that effect on people, but he means well. Tell me, where do you need reinforcements? We will purge the Crocolisks from the region before we move on."

The Rogue sighed. "Do you know how hard we’ve had it here? Ten thousand of those damned monsters loose in the wilderness, and we’ve got what? A hundred Myths?

Every time the sun goes down, they swarm the city walls, and if too many of us leave during the day, they do it twice a day."

Dana frowned. "That sounds like they still have a leader. Crocolisks on their own would rather bury themselves in the mud during the day and just hunt when they got hungry. They’re not a high-energy type of monster."

"Tell that to them. There isn’t anything living within a hundred kilometres of here that isn’t a Crocolisk, or inedible to a Crocolisk.

We can’t even go fishing.

For one, there’s nothing left to catch, and stepping out alone only attracts more of them."

Karl smiled, and Dana smacked him on the back of the head.

"Baiting the Crocolisks is not appropriate behaviour."

The locals waited for her to explain, as the comment made no sense to them, but Dana just glared at Karl and nudged him to speak for himself.

"What I was thinking was that we could bring along a few of the local defenders to help us find the Crocolisks. Perhaps someone around Overlord Rank?" Karl began.

"And hide your auras so that the monsters think that there is a free snack in the area and rush out to eat the bait person? Evil doesn’t even begin to cover that tactic."

Karl raised his hands in surrender. "I didn’t mean that we would actually let anything eat them. We have more than enough skill to avoid that. But having someone who was much lower rank would help lure the monsters out.

It’s not like I could wander around with my aura unleashed and still have anything to fight."

"Surely, it’s not that bad? They group up and attack when any of us go out alone." One of the exhausted guards scoffed.

Rae gave Karl a mental nudge, as she had spotted a Crocolisk watching them from the swamp, only a kilometre away.

Karl stopped restraining his aura, and turned to glare at the reptilian beast.

Which promptly turned tail and ran away.

Before it could cause injuries within the city, Karl pulled his aura back and shrugged.

"See, it’s a class thing, my angry aura scares all the monsters away."
