Chapter 697 Escalated



"AWOOOO!!!" shouted the wolf beastman leader loudly.

"Shit!! Call for backup!!" ordered the dwarf guards captain.

Just after giving the order, A leopard beastman suddenly appeared before the dwarf captain. Using his fast momentum speed, he moves past the dwarf captain while pulling the dwarf captain's head with his slender hand.

*BOOOM* The leopard beastman throws the dwarf captain to the buildings in the distance. When the nearby dwarf reacts, they only find a tall leopard beastman smoking a cigarette on the spot of their dwarf captain. *Clang* *Clang* At the same time, a metal breaking sound is also heard nearby.

They find the previous wolf beastman manage to cut loose Yonghi and Atonas restrain. When Yonghi's restraints cut off, an invisible wave erupted from his body to every corner of the Undermine Council [Call of the Jungle].

Instantly, all the beastman inside Undermine Council turn mad before charging toward sector five, where Yonghi is located. This is another innate ability of the Mulcosa race.

When their connection is forcefully restrained for a certain period, it will not completely block their telepathy ability but will accumulate as time passes. After restraint is released, the Mulcosa will release an invisible wave to the surrounding area.

All the beastman hit by this invisible wave will turn mad and subconsciously go to the one that hurt the Mulcosa race. This is also the major reason for the special law about Mulcosa.

Every time Mulcosa release this invisible wave, the beastman will go rampage subconsciously unless they find the target who hurt the Mulcosa race. Some strong-willed beastman may be capable of ignoring this invisible wave. However, it will still create a lot of chaos and destruction.

Moreover, all the beastman affected by [Call of the Jugle] are buffed and capable of exerting more force than usual. *GROOWLL* a loud roaring sound is heard all over the Undermine Council.

After releasing [Call of the Jungle], Yonghi fell unconscious after feeling all the burden. On the other hand, some dwarf guards group approach Yonghi's location and begin to fight the rampaging beastman.

The whole place turns into a battlefield between the dwarf guards and the beastman. The dwarf guards didn't expect the beastman to berserk and kill their kind without mercy.

As the battle gets intense, some of the senior dwarves who reside inside the construction site nearby also leave their posts to fight the rampaging beastman. Soon, more dwarfs left the construction site and attracted the hidden guards' attention.

"Why are they leaving?" asked one of the hideous figures.

"Nyak.. NYom It seems those stupid dwarf guards broke the beastman's unwritten law." said Bubucha, the bipedal Kedleon locust race.

"Tch… What a mess?! Isn't this going to delay the construction?" grumbled the hideous figure.

"NYoll Nyom… Who knows?! As long as the construction is done, I don't care about this matter." said Bubucha.

"Then, stay here. I will kill all those savage races. Good thing I require some warm fur skin." said the hideous figure before disappearing.

"Nyakk.. What a mess… Nyok Nyok… I should have asked for more payment from Dumrod." said Bubucha.

*Clang* *BOOM* Suddenly, a slim battle golem appeared behind Bubucha and parried a shadow figure attack. However, the shadow figure attack is too powerful and pushes back the battle golem.

On the other hand, Bubucha has already escaped from his spot and looked at the shadowy figure. He was surprised to find the shadowy figure turned into the familiar Stonakin he hired before.

"Hehehe… You have a nice toy here." laughed Haidem madly while swinging the broken battle golem in his hand.

Seeing Haidem, Bubucha knows he needs to get serious and tap his staff to the ground a few times. *Tong* *Tong* *Tong* [Isuldan's baton - Summoning Gate]. The space behind Bubucha distorted and turned into a pitch black portal. *Wung* *Wung* *Wung*

A moment later, dozens of Kedleon races come out from it and attack Haidem. In contrast, Haidem smirked at the incoming bipedal locust race and covered his rocky-scaled limb with thick miasma. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The fight between Haidem and Bubucha also attracts the nearby dwarf guards since it happens near the construction site. Unfortunately, none of them could help Bubucha since a cat beastman started to kill them one by one from the shadows.

In the meantime, the hideous figure also arrives at the chaotic battlefield between the dwarf and beastman. Just as he wants to kill the nearby wolf beastman, he suddenly notices a danger and jumps to the side. *BOOOM*

In his initial spot, Merra stood with the cracked ground while wearing a menacing armguard in both hands.

"Hmm… Why so mysterious with that stupid cloak?!" taunted Merra

"Merra, the Matriach of Savan, Daughter of Napollo." said the hideous figure while opening his cloak hood.

Merra sees a man with many scars and stitches all over his face. She also noticed some of his skin had a different color than the others.

"What are you, a lab rat or something?!" said Merra.

"Kekeke… Lab rat, you say. This is what I did to myself and soon your fury skin will join me." the stitched man madly laughed before charging at Merra.

Facing the stitched man's attack, Merra didn't dare to be careless as she could feel sixth-grade strength from him. Her experience fighting against Jayna and Angus also told her to never underestimate anyone.

*Crack* *BAM* The stitched man's fist suddenly broke under Merra's palm attack. This surprises the stitched man but only makes him grin madly.

"Good, you will be a good addition to my power." said the stitched man.

Meanwhile, Angus and Jayna finally manage to escape the relentless search for dwarf guards under the chaos in sector 3. Compared to other sectors, the sector is relatively calm. However, you could still hear some ruckus and fights going on.

Some people are using this opportunity to steal from each other. Angus wasn't surprised since not all merchants invited here were good. Sometimes some black merchants like to rob other people and sell it again.

Moreover, all these people have significant force and background. This chaos in the surroundings will be an opportunity for them to get many high-quality items at once. They may be able to live in luxury for the rest of their life if they get lucky.

Under this huge benefit, black merchants and organizations decide to act amid this chaos. Furthermore, the visitor also starts to notice that most dwarf guards are no longer paying attention to the visitor and are focusing on guarding the construction site.

Angus and Jayna also notice this as many strong dwarfs gather at the construction site. Still, they don't know what Dumrod wants to build.

'Judging the foundation and the blueprint, I don't think it is some sort of weapon. Still, it must be dangerous.' thought Angus inwardly after using [Mana Echolocation] to perceive the construction site.

Angus decided to take some precautions. After finding an empty building, Angus begins to create some alchemy concoction using all the material in his hand. Fortunately, he also buys a few alchemical tools for potion-making.

While Angus is busy making a dangerous solution, little Anna is peeking toward the construction site while hugged by Jayna. During their run, Anna's cheerful behavior slowly dissipated as time passed.

The young couple didn't worry about her as they knew the cause. Whatever inhibits their instinct and danger sense is slowly losing its effect. Everyone in the Undermine Council could slowly feel something dangerous was coming.

As someone with has an excellent instinct, Anna definitely notices something. Angus and Jayna leave Anna alone as long as she doesn't create trouble. After working a few hours, Angus finally made some dangerous black solutions in small vials.

'With these, we will be able to destroy whatever they build instantly, ' thought Angus, noticing Anna approaching him.

"Dad, did Anna get weaker?" asked Anna while blinking.

"Hmm… Is there something wrong with your body?" asked Angus.

Anna shakes her head and even makes a fast punch to the sidewall. *CRACK* Despite not touching, the enchanted wall still cracks under Anna's strong airwave. It shows Anna's ridiculous physical power.

"Err... I don't think you are getting weaker. Why? Is there something wrong?" asked Angus.

"Hmm… That pervert is not bursting from Anna's kick. Can Anna go back and burst that pervert?" said Anna.

"Now, you said it. That fat man is really weird. Well, just forget about him. We have enough problems on our own." said Angus.

"Okay." said Anna shortly.

"Hmm… Did you feel something from him, Anna?" asked Angus as he found Anna did not want to let go of the pervert.

"Nope. Anna can't feel anything about the person. It's so weird that even blackie doesn't know anything about him." said Anna.

Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but frown before shaking his head.

"Forget about it. We should get going now. I don't know why, but it seems all the beastman in the Undermine Council are going berserk and going in the same direction. We should try to follow them for the time being." said Angus while leading them out of the building.
