The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Upgraded Clan

The other Ascended Rank Spellblades came out excited about the official status upgrade and the class marking on their arms that came with the System designation of Mage, but only a few of the older Commanders could say the same thing.

They were the ones who had already been exposed to the system during their travels, and had some minor level of benefit from it, though not a whole class designation and marking.

Nearly all of the ones who had been successful had gotten Mage as a class, but unlike the members of Karl's group, they were not sent to an upgrade scene, but a class creation menu, where they could have chosen other options.

Just to be different, one of them chose Warlock as his class, but the rest all chose Mage so that it didn't affect their progression or standing within the Spellblade Clan.

The Clans had thousands of years of history, and if their choice prevented them from advancing within the Clan, or stuck at Commander Rank until their new Class caught up to their existing skills, they would have a hard life.

It wasn't the huge win that Corbin had been hoping for, but to the newly awakened mages, it was still incredible.

They now had access to the inventory, the status sheet and even to Skill Trees that would allow them to earn access to new spells that were incredibly difficult to learn on their own, or in some cases completely forgotten before today.

One of the higher level Mage Spells in the tree was [Portal]. If they could make it to the peak of the Mage Skill tree, they would be able to simply open portals on their own, and not rely on arrays.

From the way they described it, Karl learned that some of the more powerful leaders of nations were permanently linked to arrays, and some skilled mages carried an array token with them, but under the Monarch Rank, it was extremely rare to have that sort of access.

"Leader Corbin, do we have time to go through the Skill Tree now? Or should we move first?" One of the stronger Commanders asked.

"Move first, and we can check your new spells later. What did you see that has you so excited?" Corbin asked.

"I have eighty Skill Points. My past achievements appear to have been rewarded, and I will be able to choose a number of additional spells. Does anyone know how many points it takes to get them all?" He replied.

Corbin turned to Karl, who frowned as he did the math.

"I got some of the more expensive ones free from trials, but if I had to buy them all, it would have taken me nearly three hundred points. However, if I had taken the Offensive Skill Tree option, it would have been a fifth of that, but I wouldn't have had access to the most powerful skills my Class has to offer.

The Beast Master can choose between Offensive, Defensive and Progression paths. It calls Progression balance, but really the skills it grants are to core growth." Karl replied.

The mage nodded. "Mage class is the same way, in that you can specialize in an element for a discount or in Arcane to get access to everything, but without the discount. I refrained from choosing before asking anyone."

The others laughed and nodded in agreement. They had all done the same thing, waiting for a second opinion before they chose.

The last of the mages, an older Commander, came out and gave Corbin a thumbs up.
