The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 795

They had been fast, but not fast enough. In the minute it had taken them to realize that this was more than just a fight in the yard and organize a full squad, three of the seven Overlords were dead, and Hawk had begun the mass bombardment of the enemy Guild house, as well as their members in the streets.

Karl didn’t relax his guarded position, though the surviving warriors of the Truelight Host Guild were lowering their blades. Read exclusive chapters at freewebnovel

"They came and challenged, then refused a duel by champions, insisting on a full-scale Guild War to annihilation." Karl insisted.

"And who called for reinforcements?" The Guard Captain demanded.

"I don’t know what you mean. We’ve all been here since the start of the fight." Karl replied, and the four Overlords nodded in agreement.

None of them had called reinforcements, and the fight was on Guild House property, not in public.

[Hawk, stop the bombardment, I think we broke a rule.] Karl warned.

Hawk mentally shrugged and flew close enough to return to his space.

The Guard didn’t reply for a few seconds as he used a communication spell.

"A group of Truelight Host’s junior members was ambushed by an unknown assailant in the Fool’s Walk boardwalk area. They were incinerated by an Overlord Rank ability, and heavy damage was done to the surrounding area.

Then a group of them was seen firing spells in the Forest Gate district, upward toward the Ghostfire Thunderbird who is often perched here at the Darklight Host Guild House.

Both are violations of the city code on Guild Wars, which restricts battles to Guild Properties." The Captain explained.

"So, the attack on their Guild House was fine, right?" Karl confirmed, as Hawk had done heavy damage to that building.

The closest of the four surviving Truelight Host Overlords took off their helmet, revealing a vibrant red Demoness with her horns filed to nubs.

"What do you mean, the attack on our Guild House?" She asked.

"I had one of my bonded beasts bombard your Guild House with Ghostfire. It’s gone, along with everyone in it. Well, most likely everyone. The house is still on fire, but Ghostfire isn’t easy to put out."

The Demoness went so pale her face faded to pink, and she collapsed to her knees. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"No, there is no way that they could know where our Guild House is." One of the others muttered.

"The one with thirty of your people in it, to the west of Forest Gate?" Karl asked.

The guard verified something with a communication gem, then shook his head and sighed.

"The Guild War is over. The Guild Master of the Truelight Host is dead." He announced.

With that, the red highlight on their names faded, and the four Overlords faces morphed to expressions of horror, visible only as widened eyes under their helmets, except for the one with her helmet off, who was openly weeping.

"How could the Guild Leader die?" She mumbled, with a hopeful look at the Guard, begging for it to be a lie.

"Some sort of Overlord Rank flaming tornado. He tried to rescue the wounded from the flames, and ended up trapped in the spell."
