The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 822

Thor’s idea gave Cara a great idea. If she made it to Overlord, and then forced an evolution to a form one Rank higher, wouldn’t she be an instant Totem? She would win everything all at once.

[You know that getting that far ahead would be problematic for everyone. I am just entering Overlord Rank, we can’t have someone shooting ahead to Totem Rank right away.

Not only that, but there are material costs to Evolution, and I don’t know what they are yet. We might have to go hunt for treasures.] Karl reminded her.

That sounded pretty good to Cara. There were bound to be new things to see and test now that she was on a new continent.

She still wanted to be a Totem, though. She never did get to boop the Totem Dragon.

While the beasts were contemplating their next advancement, a massive recovery effort was being launched to bring the slain whales to land. Demons with water and gravity magic were working together to pull corpses in.

But Rae had a better method.

She simply grabbed a dozen of the Monarch Ranked beasts into her space, and then directly dumped them on the dock, shocking the workers who had gathered in preparation for the work of cleaning and portioning such a massive amount of meat.

Karl landed along the shore near the dock master’s warehouse where they had set up the grill during the last attack, and looked for someone with answers.

"Does this happen often?" He asked, with a gesture towards the shore.

The dockworker laughed. "Thankfully, no. Most of the time we lose at least one or two Overlords and dozens of Monarchs whose bodies can’t be recovered.

This time we got off easily, and they didn’t try to bombard the city before leaving.

Normally, the Sky Whales get super aggressive during mating season, so anything that happens to be nearby, whether it’s a city or an unfortunate merchant caravan, gets pummelled into submission.

This pod was much smaller than the one we encountered last year. The Lord had to intervene himself to chase them off when they showed up with a Mythic Rank bull."

One of the other workers gestured to the whales Rae had dumped on shore. "These are in great shape this year too. We’re going to have meat to export for months, even after the warehouses are filled.

We’re unfortunately short on cold storage in the city, as Demons don’t really specialize in Ice Element magic, even the ones that can use water magic."

Karl nodded in understanding. "I have a spatial element treasure that will allow meat to be stored for some time without spoiling. If you don’t mind, I would like to collect some of the bodies. The Lord, or whoever is in charge, can get them back from me when it’s time to sell them."

The dockworker winked at him. "Do you honestly think anyone is keeping count? If you dive and grab one of the bodies that sunk, you can likely keep it for yourself, unless it’s a Totem. Those ones they will care about."

That was good enough for Hawk, and he coated himself in a [Wind Barrier] to keep his flames dry as he plummeted down from the sky to scour the bottom for bodies he knew would be down there.

Even one or two more of these massive beasts would be more than enough to make an entire seafood department in his space.

Fortunately for him, there were more than one or two at the bottom, where they would be nearly impossible for the Demons to recover before other sea monsters got to them.
