Chapter 714: Sanctuary Contender?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Captain Auron, you’re a stage-six contender as well as the strongest contender here. Take Kevin and leave. He’s our only hope. You must teach him well...”

Mia waved her hand. Captain Auron gritted his teeth and ignored Kevin’s struggles when he picked Kevin up with one hand. He bowed to Mia respectfully and turned away immediately, escaping with Kevin alone.

Without Auron, who was their only stage-six contender, the troops would find it even harder to defeat the ferocious beasts. Nonetheless, some kind of preparations must still be made.

“All knights, form ranks. Arms at the ready. Pledge your life!”

“Pledge our lives!”

There was not a trace of fear in the eyes of these knights. They were all elite knights who had fought barbarians and fierce beasts many times. They would not take a single step back for their honor as knights.

Rumble...

The ground began to shake and a cloud of dust rose from the distant horizon, blocking out the sun. It was enough to show just how terrifying the stampede was.

Mia closed her eyes gently. Her luck had run out at this point.

“I hope Kevin lives on...”

Perhaps that would be Mia’s final thought.

“Spears at the ready!”

Mia has despaired. However, as brave knights of the Mandela family, as warriors who climbed out of the corpses of barbarians, they would never just sit and wait for death.

Hundreds of the knights raised their long spears. Their spears seemed to be made of a special kind of metal and were extremely heavy, but in the hands of these knights, it was nothing at all.

The tip of the long spears glinted coldly in the light, silently waiting for the first bloody contact with the herd.

Hoo...

All of a sudden, a gust of wind surged through the area, and the beasts seemed to grow even more frantic as if there was something terrible chasing them. These beasts who were supposed to be mercilessly vicious only looked fearful right now.

“There’s something off about these fierce beasts.”

That thought flashed in everyone’s hearts, but they did not linger on it. No matter the reason, they would not be able to survive the first wave of beasts. These beasts would tear them up completely.

“They’re coming!”

They could already envision the pungent and bloody scene...

...

Merlin was sitting on the huge raptor in the sky. Under them were a group of fierce beasts, charging forward and running away desperately.

Moreover, the further the raptor pushed, the more beasts joined the fleeing army. Therefore, Merlin had inadvertently created a stampede of beasts when he made the raptor fly onwards.

Like the creatures living in the water, they were extremely afraid of birds of prey and could not endure even just a little whiff of their life force.

“How interesting. This savage raptor seems to have a very high position. No other fierce beasts dare to challenge its status.”

Merlin laughed and said to the savage raptor, “Is your position very high? These fierce beasts are all scared of you.”

The savage raptor let of a cry of grievance. It looked at the horde of beasts below and felt wronged. Its status was not just ‘high.’ It was basically the overlord of this forest. No beasts dared to approach anywhere within a hundred miles from it.

Those beasts were unable to withstand the slightest bit of its life force, but the raptor could not speak and naturally could not tell Merlin about its ‘noble identity.’

In reality, Merlin had already guessed that the raptor had a very high status when he saw how much panic it had caused among the fierce beasts. How could a creature comparable to a Great Legend not have a noble status?

Even in the Spell Caster civilization, Great Legends were people admired by countless others. They could occupy a dimension single-handedly and spread the knowledge of Spell Casters.

“Hm? There seem to be people up ahead. Is it a civilization or tribe of this world?”

Merlin’s huge Mind Power was constantly spreading all over the surrounding area, so he had easily discovered that there was a ‘tribe’ similar to him in front.

It might be the dominant civilization of the Mobata world.

However, those people did not seem to be in a good situation. They were unable to resist the tide of beasts at all. Merlin finally found a tribe in the Mobata world after much difficulty, so he naturally would not allow the wave of beasts to destroy them.

“Hurry. That stampede was caused by you. We can’t let those people be harmed!”

The savage raptor flapped its wings ‘indignantly’ and doubled its speed.

Whoosh!

The raptor was like a gust of wind. The howling wind resounded through the sky. All the beasts and the people heard it.

“What’s that?”

The hundreds of knights who were prepared to fight to the death with the beasts suddenly looked up and saw a gust of wind in the distance sweeping towards them at a terrifying speed. The beasts charging their way seemed to become even more frenzied. Their expressions revealed a sense of unparalleled fear.

Mia’s mouth fell open. Since she was too far away, she could not see what was hidden in the wind.

Soon though, the squall approached near enough for them to see what was hidden behind it. They could see now that it was a huge and terrifying beast covered in hideous warts.

“This beast is unusual. It’s as if all the other beasts are afraid of it! Such an oppressive force too! Not even the Earl or the barbarian leader who attacked the city had such a powerful and oppressive force.”

“A hideous beast covered in warts, has a pair of wings, and all other beasts are afraid of it... Could this be the king-level beast of the Lobase mountains?”

Everyone could not help but let out a gasp when they heard the words spoken by one of the most experienced knights.

A king-level beast. It would be the most supreme existence among all beasts and the overlord of a forest.

Beasts were divided into ordinary and master-level ones. A master-level beast was at least stage-seven and above, and most of the king-level beasts only existed in legends. Many people may not have the chance to see one their entire life.

King-level beasts of the Mobata world were comparable to the great Sanctuary Contenders. Although Sanctuary Contenders might be slightly stronger for a variety of reasons, they definitely belonged to the same level of existence.

If a king-level beast led the beasts from a whole forest and caused a stampede, no matter how strong the city walls were, it would be useless. Perhaps no other city would be able to withstand it except for Ruba City.

“Oh, heavens. There’s always been a rumor about a king-level beast in the Lobase mountains, but it has never been seen for hundreds of years. Could that rumor actually be true? This terrifying stampede was caused by that king-level beast?”

Mia was shocked to the point of no return. She no longer paid attention to the safety of the family. A stampede of beasts led by a king-level beast was enough to destroy most cities.

The entire Mobata world would suffer heavy losses. These beasts were far more terrifying than the barbarians, and all of this was even caused by a king-level beast.

Everyone seemed to believe that the end of the Mobata world was coming. The Mobatans who were barely surviving under the attacks from the beasts and barbarians seemed to have forgotten the glory they once had from ruling over the entire world.

Mobatans today belonged to the weak side of the world. Whether it was barbarians or fierce beasts, their overall strength was far stronger than the Mobatans.

Just one wave of these beasts was enough to cause severe damage to the Mobata World. If they were to attack eight to ten times, the Mobatans might be facing grave destruction then.

The hideous raptor in the sky did not swallow the entourage whole but hovered above them in the sky instead. Then, the terrifying king-level beast turned around, opened its enormous mouth, and roared at the herd.

Boom!

The shrill roar seemed to shake the earth, and the endless tide of beasts suddenly halted in their steps. These fierce beasts prostrated on the ground, trembling and expressing their allegiance to the king-level beast in the sky.

Fierce beasts paid more attention to the difference in their statues. It was impossible for lower rank beasts to challenge high stage beasts. King-level beasts were the kings of the entire forest. No fierce beast would feel unafraid before it.

Seeing the tide of beasts had stopped, the raptor in the sky flapped its wings a few times. Immediately, those beasts stood up again, turned around, and ran back to the forest.

The terrifying stampede had disappeared in an instant.

On the deserted gravel road, the entourage with about ten carriages was unusually silent. There was no sound except for the neighing of the horses. They all looked at the large beast in the sky in horror.

Crash!

The king-level beast that just drove away the tide of beasts landed on the ground in front of the crowd. It slowly retracted its huge wings and stared straight at them with evil eyes. Its huge life force made the atmosphere unusually somber.

Mia’s heart was also a mess. She had no idea how to deal with this situation that had already exceeded her understanding. No one would be able to stay calm in the face of a king-level beast comparable to a Sanctuary Contender.

“It seems that you’re all uninjured, but you don’t seem to be very welcoming to your rescuer.”

A cold and unfamiliar voice sounded in their minds out of nowhere.

The crowd widened their eyes and stared at the ugly king-level beast in front of them. Was the raptor talking? It was too unimaginable. After all, there were no records of king-level beasts speaking even in the oldest books.

“No, there’s someone on the king-level beast. Heavens, is it a great Sanctuary Contender who had tamed the king-level beast?”

Right then, someone finally saw that there was a small figure standing on the savage raptor’s back. Only those who had tamed a king-level beast would be able to do that.

Such a person was, without exception, a great Sanctuary Contender!

All at once, everyone had their eyes fixed on the small figure on the raptor’s back.
