The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 963

Chapter 963 Public Announcement

The group broke up, with plans to be at the stage in the town square in one hour.

That would be enough time to warn most of the people that there was

something to announce, as well as prepare for the spell. With the System Interface, all of the clerics already knew what they needed to do, and were presumably gathering to prepare, while the other City Councillors were making preparations for the fallout from the day's events.

Karl and the team found themselves a nice spot where they could see the stage, but wouldn't be in the press of the crowd. That was their waiting spot for the show to start.

As of today, I will be stepping down as City Lord, and the King will be sending a replacement guardian for the people.

But first, the Forge Priests will cleanse the hidden decay of the city, and then I will break the curse placed upon it, allowing everyone a fresh start."

There was panic in the streets as everyone tried to understand what exactly that meant.

But the Lord didn't intend to give them time to worry, and the first half of the effort, the combined spell cast by the Clerics swept over the city.

Karl watched as the spell washed over the undead in the city, and most of them started to heal, becoming whole again.

However, contrary to his expectations, none of them collapsed, even the ones who were clearly not healing. Maybe this wasn't going to end as badly as...
