distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although visibility was an issue, the rumbling of the ground and the multiple red glowing eyes in the distance were enough to tell him what was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately rushed towards the bell beside him and with a blast of wind, it rang throughout the kingdom’s walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bell was rarely ever rung, and whenever it was, it was a sign that a corrupted monster stampede was on its way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from how loud it was, it definitely wasn’t a small horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people, at least those who weren’t proper spirit mages or were too injured to fight, went inside the houses where they’d be safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whilst the large majority, originally belonged to the military, they put on whatever armor they could find and prepared themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite most being rusty, they were still spirit mages that ranged from C to A....so they could definitely handle themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the camp close to the castle, the spirit mages all around were also getting ready as quickly as they could, waiting for their Saviors to leave the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally!\" Darius was the first to jump off the crate he was sitting on, the moment he heard the bell ring, \"some action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been bored out of his mind as he just sat in the tent, looking over maps and waiting for Adrian and Renelle to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t spar with the other spirit mages around either since he might’ve.... probably, gone overboard quite a few times and they were now terrified of sparring with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, the reason he was stuck in the main tent, waiting for something to happen... and it finally did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the bored student, Caius, seemed a bit excited at hearing the bell, and in the next second, it seemed as if it was a race to see who could get their armor on quicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could make any other moves after that, Cassian spoke up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the prince?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll move first,\" Noelle answered, already in her white robe and without an expression on her face, \"he’ll join us later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian had left for the castle earlier, his face dark with a suspicious expression, and she suspected his line of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew why he was visiting the king again, and she understood why he didn’t want any of them with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if his suspicion turned out to be correct, they’d all be in danger, and he didn’t want that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, right,\" Darius muttered with a grin as Inanis appeared on his head, the dragon’s scale, just like his hair, had multiple black spots, \"Let’s do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, without waiting, he launched himself out of the tent before blasting into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Aqua, Noelle, Caius, and Cassian followed behind him, and behind them, the other spirit mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They headed to the top of the wall, only to realize the full scale of what was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds, maybe thousands of corrupted beasts of different kinds were rushing towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The black sea moved again,\" Aqua said with a frown on her face, \"and they’re trying to avoid it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For monsters of corruption, she thought they’d try to go towards it, not run away from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, this was a problem they had to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anything else could be said, what seemed to be a massive ball of flames, or rather, a meteor suddenly landed right in the middle of the horde, blasting away everything in a massive radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one person was capable of such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darius, otherwise known as the red dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His red hair danced wildly from the heat surrounding him while black and crimson scales slowly spread across parts of his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was covered completely by flames, which also caused smoke to rise from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corrupted mana in the atmosphere reacted violently around him as though intimidated by his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!!!!!\" the lunatic laughed loudly while looking at the beasts around him, \"finally something entertaining!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive wolf-like beast lunged toward him from the side only for Darius to casually grab its jaw mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed it into the ground hard enough to break the earth beneath them before immediately kicking another creature straight through three more behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people on the wall behind him remained silent for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s insane,\" one of the spirit mages muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You realize that now?\" Another turned to him, \"The red dragon has always been this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t let him have all the fun,\" Caius muttered before as he jumped off the wall and landed on something invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then casually walked into the horde, a few jumping at him only for them to slam into an invisible barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Caius paid them no mind, instead, he walked straight towards the ones he identified as the strongest before extending his hand towards one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the C-Rank corrupted beasts tried lunging towards him, but before it could reach him, it also slammed into an invisible barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the others, Caius wasn’t done with it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he clenched his hand into a fist and an invisible pressure started crushing it from every angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next second, the entire creature exploded into a cloud of blood under the overwhelming pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caius calmly lowered his hand afterward as though crushing a C-Rank beast was no more difficult than stepping on an insect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, dozens of beasts continued throwing themselves against the invisible barriers surrounding him only to die before even reaching his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit mages standing at the gates looked at the spectacle in awe, they already knew that their Saviors were strong, but it had been a while since they witnessed their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three soon followed behind, making the five seem like an entire army against the almost unending horde of corrupted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a while, but the spirit mages finally snapped out of their awe and moved to help their Saviors.\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-02T10:56:10.487Z",1,"novelbin.me","15eb09933ba7fb1268e9b462010070b46b85c7fff1a4c15fc3d5e985184af6fc","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-143","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-141",146,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-cover.jpg"]
