The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1027

The second group was also Sand Howlers, but less powerful ones from the same spawn.

[Hawk, do you see the source of the spawn?] Karl asked.

[I think that it might be gone. Look closely at them, some of these have a lot of old damage on them. I think that they've been out here for months or more.] Hawk replied.

If that was the case, it would make sense that the origin anomaly was long gone.

The changing terrain of the inner regions of Gabil actually explained a lot of the issues that they were having closer to the shore line.

The monsters changed with the changes in terrain, so even if they cleared out all the ones that were coming out, and then went across the whole country in a wave of destruction, as soon as things changed, they would have to start over.

The best that they could hope for was to keep them contained to the central areas.

But there were said to be System Stones, or something equivalent to them, in the middle of the nation, and Karl was hopeful that they might actually manage to find them if they could find the centre of the region that was being altered.

A couple or ten thousand years without maintaining a defensive illusion might be enough to cause this chaos, assuming it was powerful enough.

Opal shook sparkles from her wings in excitement. Yes, that could happen, if you upgraded [Illusionary Domain] to something that would affect the real world.

Her illusionary world could get a bit out of control as it was, since she created beings with an approximation of intelligence and free will. Left unsupervised, they would often do strange things, and she would have to add further instructions to keep them from changing too much.

That was why she didn't put Dwarves in the illusionary world at the Guild House. If she left them unsupervised, they would renovate the whole city, and she would have to either learn the new layout or change it all back.

Both would be chaos for the Guild Members who worked in the area, like the Alchemists.

[The Orcs are coming our way.] Hawk warned when the group was almost to the Sand Howlers.

"We've got incoming Orcs, and a fight. Everyone get ready, they might want to compete." Karl warned. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

The Orcs turned toward their group, so Karl altered course to meet them instead of the monsters.

"Well met Chieftain." Karl shouted as the Orcs approached.

"Totem Karl, well met. Are you hunting Sand Howlers for fur blankets?" The largest of the Orcs asked.

"Blankets? No, we have plenty. We're hunting them for fun, and because it makes the Black Dragon happy to bring the monster numbers back to balance."

The Orc laughed at Karl's explanation.

"Well, if that is the case, would you like to have your people and mine compete? We can deal with the Totem, and then our clans can see who gets more pelts."

Karl nodded. "Rae, go collect that Totem's body and bring it back to us, so the others can start their challenge."

The Orc looked confused for a few seconds until Rae reappeared with a decapitated Sand Howler. It had taken all her tricks to ambush that thing, and her Golems had punched a half dozen holes in the front before she cut the head off from behind.
