The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 853

Sitting in the separate space, the Darklight Host Guild had no way to know of the chaos that was unfolding in the city of Drodh.

For their newest Ascendant resident had just returned to his home.

Jones was back from his private island.

The aura of a Totem Ranked Dragon was impossible to miss, as he lived in the suburbs, which were still rather densely populated, even if they weren’t as packed as the Sprawl.

Plus, his species had changed along with his advancement, so while he still felt somewhat familiar, none of the neighbours knew if it was Jones, or some powerful family member who had shown up at his house unannounced and then refused to take visitors.

Finally, the arrival of Domesk and Rashid, the Totem Ranked Overseers of the Stone Chapel and Forest Gate districts of the city, had prompted Jones to answer his door.

"Good afternoon Gentlemen. I didn’t expect your arrival so soon. Please do come in for tea." Jones greeted them, as if he hadn’t just been ignoring them standing outside his door for the previous ten minutes.

The two demons, one red skinned Wrath Demon, and one feathered Magic Demon, took seats in the ancient recliners across from the aged sofa covered in knit blankets where Jones was lounging with a plate full of sandwiches and tea.

Domesk broke the tension with a smile. "It seems you have had a fortunate opportunity, old friend. To have evolved from a Magma Dragon to reach the Totem Rank is something worth celebrating. I don’t suppose that you could let us in on the method, could you?"

Jones smiled. "I traded Ancient Treasures with one favoured by the World Dragon, and he gave me the last piece of the puzzle needed to refine my bloodline. A most curious sort of exchange, I admit. But it has worked out wonderfully for me.

In a hundred years, when I reach the peak of Totem Rank, perhaps I will try to find another similar opportunity and make it to the Mythic Rank."

A hundred years was not so long for a Totem Ranked Demon or Dragon. In fact, it could be said to be incredibly fast to reach the pinnacle of Totem Rank, even if you had the potential to go past it and into the realm of Myth.

"So, what are you planning to do now that you have reached the Totem Rank?" Rashid asked cautiously.

The Frostfire Gate district, a suburban area outside the city walls, didn’t technically have an overseer. It was split between him and Domesk, whose areas of the inner city bordered that portion of the suburbs.

Jones smiled languidly, relishing the fact that these pillars of the city now had to be nice to him, as his potential and power was no worse than their own. Dragons had an innate advantage over most species at their own Rank, thanks to their immense mana reserve and affinity for their elements.
