About three weeks after the Abyss Worms had been moved to Icy Bastion, the first Ancestral Beast appeared near the town.
Of course, the town noticed the Ancestral Beast when it was over a thousand kilometers away, and it would take a bit for the Ancestral Beast to get closer.
Usually, due to an Ancestral Beast's speed, Shang had always called for the Security Agency as soon as an Ancestral Beast was found by the Surveillance Magic Circle. If an Ancestral Beast directly traveled towards the town, it would only need something like ten seconds to reach the town from over 500 kilometers away, which might just be barely enough for the Security Agency.
But now, Shang could let the Ancestral Beast come closer without having to call the Security Agency.
The Surveillance Magic Circle also kept track of a beast's power, and this one was only an Early Ancestral Beast.
