The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510 Sound of Violence

Out of the darkness, the sound of combat carried to Karl's sensitive ears, as well as the Naga Warriors.

It was too faint for Thor to hear it, but Rae perked up, trying to find the source of the disturbance. It was out of sight, and Karl quickly realized that someone had found a low spot to camp in, where they wouldn't be spotted from a distance in the morning.

That was a much better idea than just camping next to a big rock, but if their battle was intense enough that it could be heard from kilometres away, they might need assistance. But more urgently, the sound of battle was drawing the attention of all the creatures in the area. Once they started to move with purpose, it got the attention of even more, and soon every one of the creatures that Karl could detect was headed in the same direction. Some would be passing right through their camp if they didn't move, and there were hundreds of them.

"Okay, that's not good. Whoever is fighting in the distance has gotten the attention of every creature within five kilometres, and they're all headed that way. Some of them will be passing right by us, and that means a fight.

But a fight means that there will be more of them turning our way.

I think it might be best to go for a strength in numbers approach." Karl explained.

Tessa frowned as she replied. "So, head towards the battle and hope that whoever is over there is more friendly than whatever spawned? Well, given our experience with the spawns, that shouldn't be hard to achieve.

Do we know what the enemy is yet?" Karl shook his head. "Just our various theories, but we will find out when we get to them."

[We won't have to wait long. There are already monsters headed this way.] Rae reminded him.

"Alright, pack quickly and let's get going. I want to get as close as possible before the fight spreads." Karl insisted.

They only had to pack up the two sheets that were hiding the campfire, then they were ready to move, as fast as Thor could go without risking the wagon. Karl jogged alongside the wagon as Rae kept Thor updated on the best routes.

The monsters weren't fast, and they were actually catching up to the ones in front of them, so Karl ordered Thor to slow a little. They would get as close as possible before they had to actually join the fight.

He could already hear the voices, and they were speaking the Common language, so at the very least the defenders weren't insane.

"Shoulder to shoulder, keep your positions circled and don't get so far from the ground that they can get under you and inside the ring." A male voice was shouting.

The sound of blades and the flashing lights of spells were now visible. Whoever was there, they had magic users. That meant it wasn't a random group of farmers, as the Minotaur didn't have any spell casters that Karl knew of. They had extremely powerful warriors, but that was the extent of their combat power.

"Tamarind, watch your offhand blade technique. You're slow on the left side." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

[Hellstorm!] Remi cheered in Karl's mind, and a massive funnel of fire formed off to their right side, where a dense pack of the attackers had gathered.

There was a short stone ledge there, but for some reason they were not climbing it, just piling up against it or going around.

But with the light illuminated their features, Karl knew that today was going to be a lousy one.

Every face was rotted, eyes glazed in death, as the zombie horde pressed towards the signs of life. The undead were relentless. The only option was to kill them all or run away. But they were all around both groups, so running wasn't an option.

"What the fuck is that?" The voice shouted. So they were close enough that they could see the fire.
