The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Points Of Reference

As Karl opened the reward chest from the boss, something flickered in his vision, almost like the notifications that appeared inside dungeons and trails, but obviously in his vision, and not in the air in front of him.

It was almost like the information was on a pair of goggles in front of him, but it vanished after a few seconds, and never got clear enough that he could properly read it. The lid on the chest flipped open, and a small pile of items were found inside. [Gained 1 Skill Point] appeared in Karl's vision, making him pause.

"Did anyone else see that?" He asked.

"See what?" Lotus asked, coming to stand beside him as Remi slid up his back to see what was in the box.

Karl looked through the items but didn't touch anything yet. There was a chance that it would bond to him if he picked it up, and this was a Commander Rank dungeon, and he had Royal Rank Armour as a skill. It would be better to let the others make up for any items that they might be missing.

There was a pile of cloth, some chain armour, a collection of Gems that Karl's [Identify] skill said would have no particular benefit to the beasts, but they were magical, and not just pretty.

Then there was a dagger, a wand and a square item wrapped in cloth that looked like a book.

Karl liked books.

So did Remi.

He carefully lifted it out of the treasure box and opened the cloth wrapping.

It was a book, bound in red leather, with a dragon head on the front. That was promising, even if it didn't have any words on the cover.

[Usable by Clerics, Red Dragons]

The words appeared in Karl's vision again. The strange goggle effect when this effect appeared was a bit disorienting, but the message was clear enough. He couldn't use it.

"Hey Tessa, I think this one is for you." Karl called as he held out the book.

Tessa leaned over, using the rough surface of Thor's scales to keep from sliding off, and grabbed the book before sitting back upright.

She flipped the book open and smiled. That wasn't the response that Karl was expecting, as the book didn't vanish.

"It's not a skill book, it is a hymn book. The pages are full of Red Dragon Cleric battle hymns, and keeping it equipped adds bonuses to my Holy Magic." She explained.

She let go of it, and it appeared in a smaller form, hanging by a chain from her belt. It was locked shut, but if it was just a hymn book, she didn't actually need to open it. She already knew the songs, and she wasn't a bard that needed to sing in combat.

Not that she didn't sing in combat on occasion, but that was more to keep Thor amused while they waited than because it helped with anything in combat.

The other items were removed one at a time, and none of them particularly appealed to the members of the group, but once the last item was removed, the box disappeared.

"None of us plan to keep this stuff, so we will put it in storage for later." Karl explained.
