The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 999

Karl waited for the group to leave, then took a running leap into the air, so he could teleport toward the target in a couple of long jumps.

If they were going to compete, he wasn't going to waste twenty minutes running over to the target.

The group that Hawk had identified for him was a group of Ogres, one Totem, with thirty or so Overlords. Workable, but he would have to see how difficult of a fight it might be.

[What did you find for the others?] Karl asked Hawk.

[The mission is a group of grass trolls with four Overlords and many Monarchs.] Hawk explained.

That explained why he didn't think that Karl would have to assist. Most of that group would be unlikely to ever break Thor's barriers.

Karl landed near the Ogres, who immediately charged, only to be met with a barrage of [Void Blast] enhanced arrows.

The skill had already been at Totem Ranked, but with the extra spell power that Karl had obtained, and whatever hidden bonuses came with being a Totem, the Overlords were completely unable to take a hit.

Ogres weren't the toughest of opponents, as they had no magic of their own, but still, the casualty rate was impressive.

Karl was about to turn his attention to the two leaders of this Ogre tribe when a sudden blast of Unholy Energy vaporized them, and a group of gaunt looking humanoids with no noses on their faces stepped from a portal.

"Well, what do we have here? The meddling Beast Master, away from his pets, too far to recall them to his side, and away from the influence of the Dragon Gods." One of them cackled gleefully.

Karl looked over the black robed figure, which reeked of death magic, and then smiled.

"Did my old friend from Bomgon send someone to play with me?" Karl asked slyly.

The man laughed, and equipped a shield and sword.

"Oh, he set the bounty, alright. But don't think that we're some weakling Necromancer group. We know about your particular skills against mages." The man announced.

Karl checked their System Status for the names, and found they were in a language he couldn't read. Possibly, a disguise spell. But the colours were clear.

One Unholy Paladin type class, two Rogues, a cleric, two mages and five warriors.

All Totem Ranked.

"Wait, did I really get a whole adventuring party, just for myself? Cara will be so jealous." Karl laughed.

He tried to inform the Void Badger that they were missing out on the fun stuff, but found that he could not connect to her mind.

That shouldn't be right. He could normally contact Remi in her lab from halfway across the continent, and the others were only a dozen kilometres away. There had to be a barrier of some sort.

The mages began casting buffs on the group, and Karl called for his summoned helpers.

Two Lamia and a pair of Dire Bears, his usual combination. Plus the Epic Guard, who was equipped with the Haint Claw.
