The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1023

Rae woke up after midnight that night, and flexed her limbs to make sure everything was working as intended after that odd moulting incident.

It made sense, with the crab blood that she had used, but it was a new experience for Rae, who normally just grew and reshaped herself a little. It wasn't bad, though. She felt brand new and refreshed, ready to face the world in a whole new Totem Ranked body.

[Did you want to do your reveal first or second, little sister?] Rae asked as the sun began to come up in the Tiny World.

The butterfly thought about it. [Together. I will set the stage, and we can make a grand entrance.]

Rae waited while her little sister made the final plans.

Everyone was awake now, and getting into the showers. So, that was the perfect moment to set up their entrance.

Four ranks of illusionary spiders flanking either side of the walkway to the house, with a light fog around ground level to let Rae camouflage herself more effectively until she was ready for her grand reveal.

Then butterflies and sparkles in the air above them, where she would be hovering and waiting for Rae to appear and get her praise, so she could swoop down for the fireworks and then introduce herself to the group.

Rae tried not to laugh as she saw the Royal Procession that had been prepared for her, with all the illusionary spiders bowing before her.

Remi and Thor dragged the group out into the yard to watch, and Lotus was practically vibrating with excitement as she realized that Rae was going to make a dramatic entrance.

Rae started off invisible, then blended herself with the fog as the approached. Slowly, she adapted back to her natural black and red, as if she was emerging from the fog as she slowly strutted down the path.

Whistles and cheers greeted her approach, and Lotus ran up to hug her while the others laughed.

"Congratulations, Rae. Excellent work on making it to Totem Rank." Karl congratulated her, while fireworks began to explode overhead in the morning twilight.

Then the butterfly appeared.

Not as an illusion, but actually outside of her space for the first time since she evolved.

"Good morning, Sister Butterfly." Karl greeted her.

{You may call me Opal. I like that name. It is a pleasure to meet everyone.} She replied.

She fluttered down, her metre wide transparent wings reflecting the sunlight, and creating shimmering rainbows on the ground, along with the sparkles of shed mana as she moved.

That was an unavoidable side effect of her species, but now that she was powerful enough, she could recover far more than was needed to sustain the loss, and she could limit the spread of the mana particles to nearly nothing. Some loss was unavoidable, but the stronger she got, the better she was at controlling it.

It was strange being outside, not as much mana, and all sorts of new scents and auras.

But she got to actually touch people.

That was surprisingly fun.

"So, you can finally join us on adventures, Opal?" Tessa asked.
