Even though that was the case, the quality of personnel in the Anilo City Adventurer Guild was somewhat lacking. Even if a legend did appear, it wouldn’t cause such chaos if it were in the Human United Kingdom. Furthermore, someone should have stepped forward to stop this long ago.
“It’s worthy of being called an untamed zone...”
Violet sighed bitterly.
Although those people were in awe of the “legendary level being” and didn’t dare to approach directly, they formed layers around the few girls, chattering like a crowd watching some rare animal.
Perhaps they had no malicious intent, just pure curiosity, but for Violet and the others, it was a great nuisance.
“Tsk, Master, do you want me to knock these flies away?”
The dragon lady, with a worse temper and less patience, had already clenched her fists, and Violet estimated that if she gave the order, the Anilo City Adventurer Guild would immediately become a historical relic.
As for the instigator—the cat girl who was submerged in the crowd had long been frightened by the scene, utterly at a loss. Hoping for her to do anything useful was probably in vain.
“It’s not necessary to go to that extent, but the current situation...”
If they were enemies, it would actually be more convenient, but Violet wasn’t tyrannical enough to resort to violence for such a trivial matter.
“Never mind, for now...”
“What are you all fussing about? Go do what you’re supposed to do!”
Suddenly, a wild and fierce roar echoed through the entire hall, instantly suppressing the noisy chatter. Everyone turned their heads toward the source.
“Hurry, hurry... the guild master is here...”
After identifying the newcomer’s identity, they dared not continue to gather and gossip. The crowd, originally assembled to watch the excitement, dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving only a few daring individuals who stayed in the distance to secretly observe.
This was not a big deal, but... the guild master...
Dispelling the onlookers, a half-beast person walked out of the inner hall with large strides. Like the little cat girl, he had triangular furry yellow ears on his head, and a long tail trailing behind him. However, compared to a cat, this guy looked more like a tiger person from the Beastman Kingdom.
The guild master of the Anilo City Adventurer Guild was unexpectedly not a pure human?
In the Human United Kingdom, which exhibited a certain degree of racial discrimination, the fact that he held this position as a half-beast person indicated that he must have some real ability.
Glancing at Violet and the few girls behind her with a curious expression, the mixed-blood tiger person nodded briefly, then went to the corner where the pitiful little cat girl, who seemed on the verge of tears, was hiding.
The internal members of the guild, upon seeing the man come out, had long returned to their respective positions at an incredible speed, as if they had experienced some pleasant memories.
“What’s going on, Mira?”
“Sob... I’m sorry, Big Brother Edgar. I caused trouble again. Even at a time like this, I’m giving you trouble...”
Using gentle actions completely inconsistent with his mighty demeanor, the mixed-blood tiger person wiped away the tears in the cat girl’s eyes and ruffled her soft, black short hair with floppy triangular ears, comforting her with a smile.
“It’s okay. Big brother is here. Leave it to me to handle. I heard those guys yelling about a legendary just now, right?”
Upon hearing this, the somewhat confused cat girl finally reacted and exclaimed, “Oh!”
“Yes, yes! Big Brother Edgar, there are some distinguished guests here! This person...”
“Alright, don’t waste time. Let me explain. It’s like this...”
Violet took the initiative to step forward and, in simple language, described their purpose for coming to Anilo City and the details of the previous turmoil.
Of course, the priestess didn’t mention being deceived by a certain queen.
“You... want to subdue 【Illusionary Cloud】?” Guild Master Edgar’s tiger-like eyes narrowed slightly, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. After a while, he shook his head helplessly.
“Don’t blame me for being too blunt. Even if one of you is a legendary-level individual with considerable strength, it’s impossible to deal with 【Illusionary Cloud】. It’s not a matter of whether you can defeat it or not, but...”
At this point, Edgar seemed to have some reservations and didn’t continue. He immediately changed the topic.
“Anyway, if a legendary figure wants to take on a mission, Anilo naturally welcomes it. However, when it comes to the matter of facing 【Illusionary Cloud】and going to one’s death, we won’t provide assistance. Young people, you should understand the limits.”
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. If you need anything, just tell Mira directly, she will provide you with the highest treatment.”
Like someone pressed for time, the tall mixed-blood tiger person turned and walked away. Violet also didn’t attempt to detain this evidently important figure who knew something.
The priestess was well aware that some things couldn’t be easily explained in a few words, especially to someone like Edgar, a skilled expert who was difficult to persuade.
Forcing the guild master to stay would only increase resentment.
“I say, did the guild master just get angry? I feel like his expression was a bit gloomy when he left...”
Edwina whispered on the side, and the winged sisters also nodded in agreement. They all sensed the change in the atmosphere earlier, while the dragon girl continued to show complete indifference to the matter.

“Apologies, esteemed individuals. Big Brother Edgar is actually very accommodating... It’s just that whenever the topic of the 【Southern Calamity】 is brought up, he suddenly becomes evasive. Moreover, the guild just had a bit of an issue...”
The cat girl named Mira smiled apologetically.
“Um, do you still want to look at the requests?”
Of course, they wanted to look. After all, this was one of Violet’s purposes for coming here.
“Of course, thank you.”
“No, no, no! It’s my honor to serve legendary figures!”
After excitedly waving her hands, the cat girl handed over a thick book. It contained records of unfinished requests in Anilo City, and as legendary adventurers, what Mira presented was naturally of the highest standard. It seemed to be their internal archive, with detailed information.
Violet directly jumped to the most challenging section and briefly browsed through it.
To be honest, Anilo City had quite a few missions, and there were many high-difficulty requests pending. It was probably due to a lack of high-level adventurers to handle them. Although many seemed interesting, what the priestess was truly concerned about...
“Miss Mira, what does this 【Disaster Beast Sweep】 mean? The reward seems quite high, but why hasn’t anyone been willing to take it for a long time?”
“Huh? Disaster Beast?!”
The cat girl’s ears flickered a few times, nodding in admiration.
“No wonder you’re a legendary figure, Miss Violet, with such discerning eyes. Perhaps you’ve just arrived and aren’t quite aware, but the 【Disaster Beasts】 are creatures closely related to the 【Southern Calamity】, or rather, remnants left behind after the catastrophic event.”
“According to the guild records, in the land affected by the 【Southern Calamity Illusionary Cloud】, occasionally, particularly powerful magical beasts survive. These magical beasts seem to be influenced by the power of the 【Southern Calamity】, becoming ferocious and devoid of intelligence. They indiscriminately attack the surrounding people or things, hence earning the name 【Disaster Beasts】.”
“As for why no one is willing to exterminate them, on one hand, it’s because Disaster Beasts are usually very strong and challenging to deal with. On the other hand...”
Before Mira could finish, suddenly, several tall adventurers rushed out from the inner hall, directly shouting loudly in the guild hall!
“Has Guild Master Edgar not returned yet?! The ‘Calamity’ is about to manifest, unrelated individuals should leave here immediately!!”
