The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 821

Everyone spread out for their daily plans, with most of the team headed for the Dungeon, while the crafting apprentices all gathered on the second floor or Remi’s lab in the illusionary Library city.

"Alright, let’s start with the most obvious runes for crafters. These are the base..." Karl trailed off as the sound of explosions from outside caught everyone’s attention.

Hawk flew out of his space to see what was going on, and found that they were facing a type of threat that he had never expected to see before.

[There are huge flying fishes. They smell so good.] Hawk immediately reported.

[I’m going to need more detail than that, buddy. How are fish making that level of explosion?] Karl asked, realizing that Hawk had gotten distracted by the possibility of a new food source.

Then an Overlord Ranked whale appeared in Hawk’s space, nearly a hundred metres long, and showing signs of hundreds of magical attacks on its body.

Well, that looked like something that could cause some damage.

"There are flying whales outside. I don’t know what they’re attacking or why, but it sounds serious."

Moira sighed as she realized her training would be interrupted. But Karl motioned for her to sit. "All the crafters can stay here. Take these notes from Lady Remi and go over them. There are fifty pages of compound Runes to help you with successful creation there. First, make a copy for everyone, and then practice what you learned. I will be back later for a practical demonstration."

Karl stepped out of the house, and looked out to sea, where thousands of whales like the one that Hawk was currently bombarding were approaching the city.

They were attacking ships, Demons, and anything else that got in their way.

At the moment, ’why’ was less important than the fact that they were almost certainly going to reach the city.

The Guard was scrambling, headed for the walls. But Drodh didn’t have a wall on the ocean side, and the fleet was already in shambles. Perhaps they were counting on one of the city’s powerhouses to prevent the approach into the city?

Rae appeared beside Karl in spider form, then began to sprout large opalescent wings that glowed with runes.

"That’s... new."

[Sister Butterfly helped me. Aren’t they pretty? The runes mean flying.]

Karl sent a mental nudge to the butterfly, and a pair of massive white feathered wings appeared on his back.

They were solid illusions, but the runes were real, and effective. If Karl had thought of this in advance, he could have made himself a flying item ages ago.

Learning to use the wings, on the other hand, was not easy. He had a general idea and some magical assistance, but he was slow and awkward as he tried to gain altitude to engage the incoming whales with ranged skills.

"As a matter of fact, yes. They’re a skill, and I’m not good at it." _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
