Chapter 306: First Clue

The thread itself was simply written and there were only dozens of theories made up.

Nevertheless, it was interesting to Shane, who could immediately tell that the forum thread was about the radiant mountain ring dimension.

'So...there were more than a dozen Overlord beast tides? I guess one of those was targeting our shelter while the others got destroyed? But I doubt that every shelter has been destroyed by the Overlord beast tides...wouldn't that mean there were several dozen beast tides initiated by the Destar race and their accomplices?'

This was pure madness and Shane didn't even want to think about the sheer number of gold coins that had to be invested into every single Overlord beast tide.

However, thinking that the Destar race and two more races had started a large-scale war while pulling in the strings and making it look like the overlords were scheming, there had to be an extremely valuable reward to make them craft such devious plans.

Shane was not sure what could be valuable enough that the allied partners of the Destar race wanted to obliterate every shelter that didn't belong to their alliance, but it had to be of enormous value.

Thus, without further ado, he posted the link of said forum thread into his family's group chat.

They had to acquire intel too, and it was always better to involve more, and smarter people in order to work faster.

After the link had been sent, Shane began to read the comment section of the inconspicuous thread.

Most comments cursed the author for being a liar, while other comments were from the races that owned the shelter, complaining that there were several hundred Superior peak-Awakened stage beasts that had overwhelmed their shelter as if it had been made out of paper.

The latter shocked Shane a little bit and he could only be glad about the fact that the Destar race's alliance seemed to have underestimated mankind.

Yet, when he was about to close the thread and search for other clues, he found a certain comment that attracted his eye.

It was liked and replied to by several people too!

The comment made the hair stand up on the back of his neck stand as he mumbled,

"Weren't there only three races that initiated the Overlord beast tides? Why are there suddenly more than 10 races claiming to have defeated everyone?"

The comment Shane saw was simple, yet provoking.

[Spending a few gold coins was definitely worth creating so many Overlord beast tides! How weak can your defenses just be...HAHAHA being overwhelmed by such a simple beast tide, how ridiculously weak are all of you??]

After that, the replies followed, and most comments were from various races, and all of them had one thing in common!

'Aren't all of those races in an alliance with the Destar race?' 

This was extremely interesting, but Shane's mood had already plummeted because there were too many races claiming to be the cause of the destroyed shelters.

With that in mind, he read through his mission once again.

'Truth behind the four Overlord beast tide….find the real enemies behind the attack'

"THE attack!! It's not all attacks but the attack! Doesn't that mean I have to find the perpetrators of the RadiantRing's beast tide and not all of them at once? How the hell should I do that? Can't I just name everyone involved in this f*cking mess and receive my rewards?"

Unfortunately, Shane knew that it was not as easy as that! 

'I've already combed through the PrimWeb forum for several days, and that's the first clue I got...Maybe I should find out if all of those races that claimed to be the perpetrators have a shelter within the radiant mountain ring dimension? If that's the case, I can narrow down the list of culprits of all Overlord beast tides to those races. After that….I will have to find out the remaining two culprits of the RadiantRing's Overlord beast tide… I won't have to travel around through the entire radiant mountain ring dimension, right???'

Even if Shane didn't want to accept this fact, it was highly likely that he would have to enter the radiant mountain ring dimension again.

At least, that was the case if the system were to demand him to find credible evidence which proved that a particular race initiated the attack on the RadiantRing shelter.

'The Destar race had only been accepted by the system because I'd witnessed them demonizing a Superior peak-Awakened stage beast.'

Those demonized beasts had been in the surrounding areas of the RadiantRing shelter. Additionally, the Destar race's shelter seemed to be right next to theirs which could be seen as evidence too!

If nobody knew about the existence of the RadiantRing shelter within the radiant mountain ring dimension, they wouldn't have been attacked by a four Overlord beast tide!

With that in mind, Shane told himself that he would enter the radiant mountain ring dimension if he were to be unable to figure out the entire truth until the cooldown of his tamed beasts' quality enhancement had been worn off.

After that, he would increase their quality once again and start searching for the two other perpetrators of the Overlord beast tide!

At the same time, Shane told himself that it was extremely important to figure out why exactly the radiant mountain ring dimension was so special to the Destar race's alliance!

They were risking waging war with multiple races after all! This couldn't be taken lightly, and Shane relayed every piece of information he had received so far and what was on his mind to the group chat with his family.

It was not necessary, but he had also messaged his family the content of his mission, which caused a small commotion.

In the beginning, the government was under the impression that the Overlord beast tide had been a coincidence and that only one race had targeted them because of the strategic location of the RadiantRing shelter.

The shelter was right in front of several dozen elemental crystal caves, and the only issue was the strength of the beasts that inhabited those caves.

Nevertheless, with the military's elite or guilds fighting off the strongest beasts, it wouldn't be a problem to acquire millions of gold coins.

If rumors were to be believed, there was even a humongous-sized elemental crystal cave with more than 20 floors! 

However, the sheer number of beasts inside the cave in addition to the fact that there could be an Overlord with several dozen if not more than a hundred Superior peak-Awakened stage beasts inside it caused everyone to avoid even nearing it, let alone braving to enter it.

Nevertheless, now that the government received new information on a daily basis from their own resource department and Shane too, they had to start establishing a counteroffensive mechanism to avoid future beast tides.

It was obvious that this was impossible to do alone, and a grand research operation to find the shelters that had survived their Overlord beast tides had been initiated.

If other races were able to form an alliance of races that had a shelter inside the radiant mountain ring dimensions, mankind and the other races that had been attacked should do exactly the same.

Shane found this idea to be feasible, but instead of helping with the research, he had to do his own, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to solve his mission!

'Let's start with the number of foreign races that claim to be the perpetrators. After figuring out whether they have a shelter inside the radiant mountain ring dimension, it will be easier for me to filter the remaining races.

There are only two more races involved in the RadiantRing Overlord beast tide. That means they're either involved in every beast tide or their shelter is close to the RadiantRing shelter as it is the case with the Destar race!'
