The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 731

It took a few minutes for the changes to sink in, but once Dana finally got a good look at Karl, she was stuck staring at him in shock.

"You changed. Did something weird happen? Not that I mind, this is a much better look than super muscled. But it’s a rapid change." She asked.

Thor and Rae already knew, but they hadn’t warned anyone. Or, at the very least, they hadn’t warned Dana.

"The extra bulk was from a new skill that hadn’t properly activated. [Bestial Form] is that same sort of massively muscled." Karl explained.

Dana smiled, and Lotus ran over with an expectant look. She was not missing the grand reveal.

Karl activated the skill, and Dana gave him a secret smile while Lotus clapped and cheered.

"Now we have a tiger and a bear. Nap time will be spectacular." The Nature Priestess cheered.

The others had more subdued reactions, but some of the guards had conflicted expressions. Built so wide that your shoulders brushed both sides of a door frame was a life goal for a few of the more muscular ones.

Nobody got past you in a hallway if you took up the whole hallway. Being massive was the ultimate passive defensive build.

Karl was going to settle in and watch a movie, but the excitement level in the suites was too high, and even Overlord Othello was eager to see him keep working on the project that had been disrupted with the destruction of the labs.

But that reminded Granite of one important oversight.

"Should we have destroyed the Ghostfire Forges before we left?" He asked.

Karl shook his head. "No, I think that they will make a new entrance to the lab soon, and then you will want to have your forges intact. We sealed the roof with earth magic when we left, so it’s not going to fill with water or anything, and most of the spells are still online." _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

That was enough to assure the workers that they weren’t permanently unemployed, and with heavy encouragement, Karl sat and brainstormed Runic Inscription ideas with the Acolytes and the workers from the lab all through the afternoon. They only stopped long enough for dinner, and then called it a night when it got dark outside.

The Acolytes had all been taught the [Talisman] spell, which would let them create a paper version of a spell that they knew. But it could also be used for more creative magical effects, such as a custom rune string.

They had quickly mastered the basics, such as locking a door shut with the talisman when it had no lock, and creating a barrier of silence to prevent eavesdropping.

But a [Talisman] didn’t have to be paper. They could also create a single use wooden or other type of Talisman. It was only the temporary nature of the spell that made paper the best idea.

For the Acolytes, it only lasted a few hours after activation. For Karl, the spell had lasted half the day. However, that meant neither was suitable for engraving on a permanent object, and none of them had mastered the art of simplifying runes to make Runecrafting as easy as creating a Talisman.

Karl suspected that the simplified nature and reliance on the caster’s will was the reason they were temporary, and that it wouldn’t be possible to make them permanent. But they had already been able to get a good grasp of the spell’s possibilities, and using the Runic Language was much more compact than writing in common.

Just after dark, a messenger came from the Royal Family.
