The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1008

1008 /1079

A brave crab approached the camp, and the Haint extended on hand, then made a rapid up and down gesture that lifted the creature, then slammed it to the ground.

Thor's eyes opened wide. That was a brilliant use of [Gravity Slam].

It only took him a moment to realize that the skill had evolved, and that her version was called [Force Slam], but it only took a nudge to get Karl to transfer the altered spell.

[Pass that one all around.] Cara complained.

{Skill Transferred} [Force Slam]

{Target Incompatible}

...

[Well, at least I got it. Sorry about everyone else's luck.] Cara gloated as the rest of the team except her and Thor proved incompatible with the gravity magic.

As he watched the Haint methodically disassemble the Giant Crab, Karl realized that most species would be horribly adapted to trying to defend against that skill. Not many were evolved to keeping themselves attached to a surface.

That was what gravity was for.

But when gravity was reversed, and you were suddenly lifted, most targets would be nearly helpless unless they could resist the skill directly.

Karl assumed that at higher levels, some magic resistance was normal. He wasn't sure if he had any, but it was likely in the System Stats somewhere, if he went searching through the options.

"Should we go look for the rest of the crabs now? I know that Rae and the others cleared out a lot of them last night, but we should look for the source anomaly and clear the remainder of them from the area." Karl suggested.

The Haint put Lotus down and stretched her clawed fingers, ready to go hunting.

"Why don't you take your new friend and go look for the Anomaly, and the rest of the team can go hunt crabs together?" Dana suggested.

That would leave them with plenty of protection, and Karl wouldn't have to be bored all day, facing monsters that he could kill a whole group at a time with a single strike. Karl thought about arguing, but if there was an instance of some sort at the Anomaly that spawned the crabs, then it would be the final requirement for him to do his class advancement.

{Requirements for Next Class Advancement}

⇒ Reach Totem Rank

⇒ Fill All Beast Slots or combine spaces to remove redundant areas.

⇒ Visit any Dungeon, Instance or Relic with System integration _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

He had reached Totem Rank. He hadn't started to form a new space yet for a Totem Ranked pet, and if there was something in the Anomaly, it would be the final requirement.

Fortunately, Karl already knew exactly where he had to go.

Hawk had done extensive scouting of the area yesterday, so everyone knew where the remaining groups of Crabs should be. But it also revealed the Anomaly that spawned them, which would be Karl's target for the morning.

Unlike most spawns, there was no guard around the entrance. Ogres and Giants would remain there, as well as most other monster species. But the crabs had just wandered away, looking for food.

So, Karl stepped inside without any challenge, and felt a brief sense of disorientation as the world twisted.

Remi would love this place, Karl decided.

It was a large swamp with a sandy beach and a large open ocean, plus one small island with a stone temple on it. A perfect home for Naga.

But as far as Karl could tell, there was nothing here.

Using [Swim Through Air] he moved above the water's surface to check for signs of life. The crab nests were here, some with eggs in them, but there were no signs of anything alive. Even the eggs in the nests were either dormant or unfertilized.

So, Karl opened his system interface, and found himself pulled into the familiar class change option screen.
