The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1006

Hawk cheered as he hunted crabs in the dark.

His flames burst out in bright white flames, leaving only a light blue afterimage of his feathers at the core, and then his fire attacks advanced from Overlord to Totem Ranked. It might not have been his own effort that advanced his flames before his body, but winning was winning.

He was the second to have a Totem Ranked skill.

Well, third, if you counted Tian, but Tian was too cute to count as a combatant.

Their newest addition was already having a significant effect on the others as well. Hawk had noticed that Thor was feeling extra protective with a hatchling in the group, and Remi spent all her time outside her lab in a greatly reduced version of her Spirit Snake form.

He wasn't sure whether turning back into a small Spirit Snake actually made her cuter, but Remi was quite certain that it did. It didn't affect her spell casting abilities in any way, so Hawk mostly ignored it.

Looking at his transformed body, Hawk realized that he still looked like himself, only with hotter flames on the outside. But when he dove to attack a crab for a close range flaming Rend, he could pass through tree branches, as if he were made of pure fire.

Of course, that set the scraggly little tree on fire. But that was a minor side effect.

The real concern was that he couldn't grab the crabs in this form without using a skill. That part was annoying.

The damage was still so worth it.

He called it a night just an hour after Karl got him the new skill. It was already getting close to morning, and he needed more sleep than Rae did. So, if he didn't sleep now, he wouldn't be able to keep up with his scouting duties after breakfast.

Even Cara and Rae eventually returned to their spaces to sleep. They had collected so many of the crabs that they had to actually search for more at that point, and the rest of the group still needed something to do tomorrow.

Lotus woke everyone up with the smell of blueberry pancakes coming from the kitchen, and the team gathered to make their plan for the day.

"Should we go look for the core of the anomaly to see if there are good things? Or should we clear out all the crabs we can find first and see if it collapses?" Ophelia asked.

She knew that the beasts had been hunting in the dark, so there should be hundreds of crabs in storage by now.

"Speaking of which, can we still reach the Guild Store?" Tessa asked.

Lotus shook her head. "I had to make my own ingredients today. We're out of range of the Guild Store. But we can put things in the main Guild Bank and let them collect them."

Karl shrugged. "We can also open a portal back. Just let me know when we need to get something. Or ask Dana."

Lotus smirked. "I have come prepared. Plus, with this class advancement, I have incredible nature magic. We don't need to worry about plant-based ingredients."

[I've got nearly a month's worth of average potion sales stocked at the store as well. No need to rush back.] Remi added silently.

She was back in Lamia form to eat breakfast, but Karl noticed that she was still using [Unobtrusive Behemoth] to shrink herself. The fork and knife were huge in her hands, but the greedy look that she was giving pieces of pancake which were each the size of her head was hilarious.

There wasn't really anything that they needed. But he was curious what Totem Ranked runes looked like. They had gone through metallic, then purple, red and a greenish blue colour that seemed to shift to one or the other depending on the nature of the effect. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
