The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609 Sybil

Sybil came over to inspect the books that Karl had set on the table in front of him, not quite understanding why they were important. She had gotten so used to nobody caring what she was up to that she had long since stopped paying attention to gossip, so she only picked up what was in her textbooks, and the details of how Elites advanced were not part of the core coursework.

The methods were common knowledge, but she had missed out on a lot of that, and until today, hadn't cared.

But she liked to study, so she flipped the [Silent Movement] book open without hesitation, then looked around in confusion as it vanished, wondering if some trick was being played on her.

"It's a skill that lets you move without making a sound. I know you can't tell the difference, but it's an essential skill for a Rogue, and it goes well with the other skill that we have prepared for you." Karl explained.

She quickly grabbed the second book and flipped it open, then stared around the room as it took effect.

Then, she snapped her fingers, and watched the world change as the readings from [Echolocation] came in from all directions, and not just forward. It appeared in front of her eyes, like a second layer of vision, and it didn't seem to matter to the skill that her ears didn't work.

She made a series of hand gestures, and the clerics began to laugh. Karl waited for someone to explain, and Sybil took out a small notepad and pen.

[This is absolute bullshit. Now I can SEE SOUND, and I'm still deaf?]

Karl did his best not to laugh at her suffering. "Well, I don't know a spell that will allow you to hear again, but this is magic, I guess you don't need to hear to be able to use it. When the lights go out, now you're not deaf and blind, you can function in perfect darkness, or even blindfolded.

For a Rogue, an Elite who is likely to take on infiltration and stealth roles in the future, this is one of the most important passive abilities that you can have." Karl explained.

Sybil reluctantly nodded, then began to write again. [What else were you going to teach me? This was really fast.]

Karl gestured to Rae, who had an evil grin on her face.

"You already know the skill [Backstab], so I am going to teach you how to [Shadow Step]. With that skill, you can move through darkness to appear in any other shadowed place that is large enough. My Karl will use his skills to help you learn, and I will start with exposure therapy to help your body understand."

Karl focused on the pair with [Skill Master] to help them learn faster, and then smiled as Rae turned out the living room lights and began to move rapidly back and forth between the living room and spare room until Sybil pleaded for mercy as the dizziness overwhelmed her.

The spider turned her tiny charge to face her and patted Sybil on the head. "Now, you just need to focus on the feeling of moving through the shadows. When you understand it, you will be able to escape, and my training will be complete."
