The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 798

Carving the Totem spell was easier than Karl had expected. Unlike other spells, which were a complex set of System designed mana flows, the Totems were pure Elemental force given direction.

When carved on a Nature Stone, getting the healing effect felt natural, and the process was finished even before Lotus called to announce that she had grown her tree statue.

Or perhaps it was an Altar to the Nature Gods?

When Karl walked out back, he realized that it was definitely an Altar. A face had been carved in the tree, and a small platform for offerings had been grown near ground level.

But that was perfect.

"Lotus, open the mouth a little, I need to put this inside." He instructed.

She complied without question, and Karl placed the carved stone in the tree statue’s mouth. The face looked clearly draconic, partially emerged from the statue’s surface, but there was no spot there for runes.

Instead, Karl went to the back of the tree and began his work.

He hid the activation runes in a long poem about the Green Dragon that appeared in his mind as he scratched the runes into the wood. Most of the focus was on the ability to store mana, and the [Blessed Item] spell that was added to the main runes.

The Totem Stone was linked to the tree’s magic, and then Karl began to upgrade it.

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Amethyst, then Ruby red. The runes progressed smoothly, and Karl kept going, intending to create them to the maximum of either the tree’s or his own personal capacity.

Then, his aura soared, and he felt a sense of joy from the little butterfly.

The runes turned from rich red to a ghostly green, shifting from Monarch to Overlord along with their creator.

The leaves on the statue turned from wooden carvings to vibrant green ones that looked absolutely real, except for the fact they didn’t flutter in the wind, while both the eyes of the face on the tree and the interior of its mouth glowed with a soft green light as Karl loaded the tree with mana.

Karl could hear the guards running into their compound for the second time today, having jumped over the walls, as the gate was closed. But he wasn’t concerned. Nothing about this statue would harm anyone.

Quite the opposite, actually.

As Karl finished the work, the statue pulsed with healing power, and a wave of healing energy spread from the tree through the courtyard, stopping at the walls and not spreading through the streets.

"Monarch." Someone called, then the voice hesitated.

"Overlord Karl. Congratulations. We sensed the power and thought your Guild might have been attacked again. But what is this? The weariness is gone from my bones, and I’m feeling like a young Demon again." The Guard Captain greeted them.

"A new addition to our home. A healing totem Altar, courtesy of the Green Dragon Goddess." Karl explained.

The group of Demons stared at the tree statue in shock. That was clearly an Overlord Rank healing spell, though it was a minor healing spell, with a healing over time effect.

One of the Guards came forward and dropped to one knee in front of the tree, then smiled and placed a sandwich on the altar before standing.
