The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1113: Overlords Return

That was the moment when the entire Overlord Ranked team burst into the front doors, laughing and joking as they celebrated the immense amount of loot that they had gotten from their day’s work.

They all came to a stumbling halt as they realized that there was an important meeting of some sort going on in the main floor’s main room.

”Our apologies, Your Majesty. We weren’t expecting Guests.” Quinn stammered, but Azov just smiled and waved off his concern.

”It’s nothing so serious. I take it you had a good day?” Azov asked, now much more interested in what the Overlords had gotten up to than the minutia of the Darklight Host’s likely future troublemaking.

”Indeed, Lord Regent. You see, we managed to trigger a special event today, for taking zero damage during the first boss. It gave us an extra boss, and then enhanced bosses for the rest of the run. Plus, we got nine Epic Grade items from a single run, all Overlord Ranked.” The Warrior explained.

”Zero damage during the first boss fight?”

Quinn nodded in agreement. ”The Golems took the lead, and Miss Ophelia has limited Invulnerability. Apparently, the dungeon doesn’t count damage done to Golems. So, when we finished the fight, nobody in the group had taken any damage at all.”

The Immortal Regent frowned, then tapped his chin in thought, which made Cara complain that he was no longer stroking her back. His aura was nice, like you could get lost in it forever, and she didn’t want to get up yet.

But he got up and handed her to Deve, who laughed as Cara tentatively stared at him, considering her options, then sat on his lap to face the group.

Being closer to where the Immortal was seated was still best, and Deve already smelled like badger.

”Whose golems were used for the primary tanks?” Azov asked.

Dana raised her hand. ”I am a Mystic Blademaster, and my main Golems have Auto Parry, as well as increased attack speed. They don’t excel at holding the attention of the boss, but they are good at intercepting attacks.”

Azov nodded. ”That makes sense. I wonder if it has happened before, and the Guilds simply kept it to themselves? With that much better of a result, I can see why they would want to keep it as an Alliance secret.

And for that reason, I won’t spread the news.

It’s just an Overlord Ranked Dungeon, and if your Alliance has what it takes to keep triggering the event, then they can reap the rewards.”

The Overlords looked relieved. If the Regent wasn’t going to mess with their new strategy, they would make a fortune in the next few months, and they would have all the gear they could ever need.

The portal was still open, and Azov began making his way over.

”I will leave these fine folk with you for the foreseeable future. It has been a pleasure meeting you all, but I do have work to return to.” He explained as he walked away without looking back.

That left Cara without hope for more exposure to the strange Immortal Aura. So, she rubbed herself all over the front of Deve and returned to her space to look for a blue stone, the same colour as the new dragon’s eyes.

Deve paused, then began to curse.

”Dammit, I know why she was so happily sitting in my lap. She wanted to send me home smelling like a strange badger.” The Druid complained.

The other Guild Masters laughed as they realized what Cara had done, and how Deve’s badger beastkin wife would take it if he walked in smelling like another badger woman.

”There is a shower at the end of the hall. You can wash and change before you go home.” Karl suggested.

Dana laughed, ”Don’t you think that she would notice just as quickly that he came home smelling of someone else’s shampoo with wet hair?”

Deve frowned. ”Give me the badger, I’m bringing her home with me to explain.”

Actually, that sounded like a lot of fun, Cara thought. Baby humanoid badgers.

So, she gave up on her stone search and came out to bump the back of Deve’s legs, encouraging him to get going.

”I feel like I’ve been bamboozled. But alright, let’s go. Once she knows you’re an actual badger and not a mistress, I will have much less to worry about.”

Deve led Cara out of the house, and Karl saw Lotus sneaking around the edge of the room to inspect the new people.

”They’re blue dragons, you don’t need to sneak up on them.” Karl informed her with a soft chuckle.

The younger one who had been introduced as Jo laughed and took down her hood, revealing a girlish smile, missing a front tooth.

”No, she definitely needs to sneak up. It’s the only way to keep Green Dragon Clerics quiet in the Library.” The young dragon joked.

Bobby took down his hood as well, and Karl noted just how much they looked alike, even for twins. But Karl’s fears were unfounded, as Lotus didn’t do anything crazy, she just grabbed her fellow small people in a hug and welcomed them to the Guild.

”What is Karl going to teach you? Will you be joining the bunnies and the boys? Or did you want to do Runic Alchemy?” Lotus asked.

The pair both turned to their grandmother, who smiled at Lotus. ”We all will be joining the bunnies and the boys. I promised their mother that I would train them up in my chosen trade skill when we picked one.”

Lotus nodded. ”That will be helpful. We needed another Totem Ranked crafter in the Guild. These two will also fit in well with the others. They might be Monarchs, but the others are Royals, so it’s not too big of a difference.”

Nachtia shook her head in dismay. ”Dragons born on the Isles really do have an advantage. I was nearly grown before I reached Monarch Rank.”

Bobby and Jo hid behind Lotus as they noticed the Black Dragon, but Nachtia was used to the response the first time people met her.

”This is Nachtia, part of our Overlord Ranked team, and she will have a room right by your grandmother. Perhaps next to you, if you don’t want to stay in the basement with the other crafters for safety.”

Sapphire winked at Karl. ”And am I not now a Guild Crafter who needs protection?”

Karl patted her gently on the shoulder. ”I am not fooled by the appearance of your transformation. There isn’t anything weak about a Mythic Ranked Dragon. Especially one who can make acolytes behave in the Library.”
