The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1689 Almeixei Challenged

The Sect Master of the Almeixei Sect looked on helplessly as a group of Supremes advanced toward him.

”Sect Leader, donʼt you think itʼs a bit heavy-handed to deny us the right to support our allies?

You might be the strongest of us, and the strongest Clan in the region, but youʼre not the match for all of us. We have our alliances, and weʼre going to go assist the Templars in their effort to restore the proper state of things.”

”Fine, if that is what you want, but be aware that if you enter, I will also let the allies of the New Home Clan enter. The Almeixei Sect is allied with both sides of this conflict, and as such will be sitting out this battle”

There was immense potential in the imminent devastation of the region, he decided.

If all these Clans lost powerful members, or even a few of their Clan Leaders, he could lead his force to take over even more territory, establishing branch offices of the Sect all over the region.

It wasnʼt on his strategic checklist of Sect goals for this decade, but if the opportunity was so forcefully presented to him, there was no reason for him

not to.

The Clan Leaders raised their hands, and made a ”forward” gesture toward their troops, then vanished off into the distance, leaving the Almeixei Sect Leader behind.

”Well Nerissa, you crazy woman, I hope that you have a plan for this because your allies are not on the stronger side of this force,” he muttered, then returned to watching the defensive line.

At the very least, he could keep out the leeches who just wanted to settle vendettas.

On the battlefield, Rae smiled as her Blood Destruction skill gave her dozens more Immortal Rank Golems. The bonuses they were getting had turned them into an unstoppable force, and the pure terror on the faces of the Templars when their own allies died then turned on them was worth every bit of effort needed to ensure that [Blood Destruction] got the last hit.

While the fact that she couldnʼt finish them with a stab or three was annoying, the Golems were getting such a great response that she couldnʼt resist. Then, a whole wave of new people started to arrive.

They all had blue armbands on, marking their allegiance to someone. But Rae had no idea whose side they were on until they started to assist the Templars. That meant...

”Hello, new friends. Would you like to join my art exhibition? I call it Templars on ice.”

The group of Immortals in front of her looked confused for a second, Then Thor activated [Bulwark] using the Ice Element under their feet, turning the whole area into a skating rink.

Raeʼs spiked legs easily dug into the slick surface, and she charged with her Golems, before vanishing into an incorporeal form to begin the real attack.

Blood flew from the back ranks of the newcomers as they realized this battle was not what it seemed.

While they should have had the superior numbers, crushing the New Home Clan nearly five to one, the Newbies were fighting like they were possessed, and even their youngest members were taking down fighters far above their own Rank.

It was well known that the defenders would always fight their hardest until the last moment, when the survivors would flee, but this was on another level.

In the sky above the main battle, Clan Leader Nerissa threw up new barriers and tried to decide if she should send the retreat signal or let the New Home Clan decide when to run on their own.

The fight between Clan Leaders had become Seven Supremes against one, now that the other peak powers of the region had arrived.

For her alone, there was simply no possibility of winning.

And once she had fallen in battle, there was nobody who could take up her position, no matter how strong the buffs were.

She had just prepared herself for her final stand when the air tore open beside her, and a group of ten Supreme Ranked humans in black and white robes stepped through.

”The Darklight Host has once again hoisted the war banner, and we have come.” The leader of the group, an Elven girl with the face of a young teen, despite her immense power, declared.

For a second, nobody could understand what she meant. Then they saw the flag at the epicentre of the battle, standing proudly at the centre of an island of calm, surrounded by corpses.

It held the same black and white emblem, with a pair of dragons overlaid on the divided field, that the emblems on the outfits of the new Supremes did.

What sort of Clan had come to support the New Home, that they could field ten Supremes without a single one of them having a Clan Leader tag on their

name?

But Nerissa had other questions.

Like, how deep was Karlʼs backing that these people came to his aid when he raised his battle flag? They hadnʼt even come to extract him and his friends, they had come to join the battle.

The Clan Leaders didnʼt hold back. If they gave this new group time to prepare, it would only get harder to defeat them.

Beneath their battle, Karl fought desperately to keep the enemy away from the healing areas.

They were pushing hard to get at Dana and the clerics, who had gathered in the area for healing that needed more than the Rejuvenation effect that had spread

across the entire battlefield.

Despite their advantage, there were thousands of such injuries, and hundreds more resurrections to be done.

Both sides had set up healing encampments on the battlefield, and Rae had

recruited a team of Rogues to make her way towards the enemyʼs healers. But there were so many Immortals between them and their target that it was taking

forever.

Then, a high-pitched scream informed Karl that things had gone horribly

wrong.

Someone with a stealth skill had broken through the lines, and had attacked his Greater Golems, aiming for the Epic Guard holding Yewan, who they thought was the source of their problems, as he was the only one in the area who wasnʼt doing anything.

The assumption was that he was upholding the area buff. But really, he was exactly what he looked like.

An overly excited hatchling with no reason to be in the middle of a battlefield.
