The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1022

Niall chuckled and got to his feet. "Thank you for breakfast and the gifts for your countrymen. I can't say that I've ever heard of exiles finding a way to still help out after they were sent away, but I appreciate it."

Karl patted him on the shoulder. "I would volunteer to come back and help keep everyone in line, but it sounds like you have it all under control."

The Inquisitor smirked. "You think now that you're a Totem that you can flex on the other nations' leadership?"

Karl winked at him and leaned in to whisper conspiratorially. "I was rewarded with a special Epic Grade constitution. At this point, I can reliably solo a Totem Ranked Dungeon Boss, without bringing my beasts to assist.

If you have a problem with the others, let me know. Even five on one, it's unlikely that they can do significant damage to me, and I've got so much damage reduction that even a direct meteor strike wouldn't do it."

Niall shook his head in dismay. "You live up to your reputation, monster man. Warn me before you send Rae so that I can shield my quarters and not alert anyone that she has arrived."

Then he turned and returned to his office, so Karl could close the portal.

"We never did find out what the exact date was." Dana noted a few seconds after he was gone.

"Well, we can sort that later. Once Rae wakes up, we can get back to our hunting patrols. If we can't pin down the exact date, then we can just pick one to celebrate." Karl suggested.

Now that the excitement was over, Remi returned to her lab to work, and Hawk went outside to take a loop around the area, looking for threats.

Rae was going to need all day to recover, and she would likely only wake up once the sun was down again. That was her natural active time, and each of the advancements was a bit harder to recover from.

They took a lot out of the spider, even though it was an advancement.

"Can we expect the others to advance soon?" Lotus asked, meaning the rest of the beasts.

"Thor still has a ways to go until he reaches the bottleneck, but he also advanced last, so he's still on pace. Remi has a bit more work to do as well, but Cara is close.

She just prioritizes amusement to power growth, so you never know when she's actually going to advance." Karl joked.

Cara shrugged. She was powerful enough for what she wanted to do. When she wasn't, she would advance.

That was just how it worked.

A soft mental nudge caught Karl's attention. "Oh, I think the Butterfly is almost ready to advance as well. Perhaps once she reaches Totem Rank, she will be stabilized enough that she can come out and socialize."

Karl felt the mental nod, and that she was learning from Rae, and planned to make a grand entrance to introduce herself to the rest of the group properly.

They were all aware of her work, and she had interacted with them in her dreamlike state, but it would be the first time that she got to meet them all in person. That was a big thing, even bigger than just an advancement, so she had to make it grand.

With nothing important to do, everyone settled into their daily tasks.

The three Priestesses spent most of the day in prayers, Ophelia and Thor went to spar, while Dana mediated to improve her mana pool and the stability of her new advancement.

Then, Karl gently began to flow mana through the new formation, checking for imperfections before everything settled into a permanent position that he would have to destroy to alter. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
