The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594 Niall Needs To Know

Overlord Niall took out a notepad and placed it between them.

"Now we can move on to the reason I actually called you in here. I interviewed the failed assassin, and it appears that you have made the growing threat list of at least one foreign nation. The toxin from the spell scroll should have been potent enough to kill a Royal Rank Elite if it had landed.

If he hadn't missed, we would have had only seconds to prevent your death." Niall explained.

"He didn't actually miss. Thor keeps Eternal Lightning, his defensive barrier skill, active on the whole group at all times. He doesn't like any of us being in danger. So, the attack hit a Monarch Rank barrier skill and simply fell to the ground. I thought it was a poisoned needle, and tried to collect it, but it vanished after a few seconds." "Do you have any idea what group might be after your life?" Niall asked.

"I didn't get their names, but a human nation that uses Spellblades with black robes and red armour would be my first guess. They seemed a bit upset that we rejected their attempt to force their way into the trial that the Archbishop met me at. Of course, it could be the Giants. They have more than enough reasons to want me dead, especially after Lord Nacht trolled them during that same event. It's probably not the Divine Beasts or the mages from Staptonbia. We all had a rather cordial relationship as of our last meeting, and the mages of Staptonbia were very pleased with our arrangement and the fact that we didn't argue with their price.

The potions that they provided were an excellent base for an upgraded potion using resources that we obtained from the monster spawns.

One of them gave High Priestess Lotus a [Tree of Life] healing form, an Epic Grade spell, and the other allowed Thor to evolve into his current Divine Thunder Cerro form."

"Thor has Thunder abilities?" Niall asked.

"Only one stomp ability. But he has a couple of Lightning-based skills, so it fits with the general theme of his progress."

Karl thought about his new skills, and realized that while he could make skill books and use [Skill Master] to help others learn skills, he would soon be a great asset to Elites in general, simply because he could teach them random skills.

Maybe he should try to get the Overlord to help him learn a few more skills before he left the Capital again.

"Back on topic, we are concerned about the risk that someone is sending assassins after you, but the leadership is also determined to see if your luck will extend to a larger team.

Obviously, they're not going to be able to spare an entire team of Royals to follow you around when you've already got four of them on contract.

I will look into the issue of the assassination attempts personally while your team is being debriefed and assessed after your deployment, then the apprentices will be sent to you."

Karl drummed his fingers on the table as he considered ways to make that work.

"Can you send us Acolytes? You know, the ones who are going to go for the Divine Injection at the end of the school year? I can test them personally for compatibility, and then we can take five of them with us to train." He suggested.
