The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 825  Remi Showing Off

Rae agreed, she would advance soon, and if this Totem Rank flying whale blood didnʼt let her fly, someone was getting stabbed.

Of course, she didnʼt want to use too much of that. She wanted powerful blood, but she had managed to get a drop of ichor from the Undead Lord, and a few drops of the Lordʼs blood during the last battle when they nearly fell and were wasted on the Sprawl.

She also had an assortment of Overlord Rank Demon blood. Getting the mix right, with so many types and secondary elements among the Demons, took her hours of sampling, but eventually, she was happy with her advancement bath and began to carefully scrub and preen herself in preparation.

She had only used a tenth of the Totem Ranked Flying Whaleʼs blood, so she had lots left for next time, and far more blood at two Ranks above herself than she had ever used before. Her normal base was of the Rank that she was hoping to advance to, and it had always smoothly pushed her through the bottleneck without issues. Rae was hoping that she might get lucky this time, and gain an extra cool ability from the blood samples, the way that she had gotten earth magic from the Hill Giants.

Hawk was naturally skeptical. What if Sister Rae ended up with water magic as well, using so much powerful water beast blood? The meat was fine, it sizzled so nicely when he roasted it, with a deep and rich flavour from the well marbled fat. But Rae took on aspects of her advancementʼs bath blood.

Thor was doing his best to absorb energy as they waited. He was the only one who wasnʼt at the peak of Monarch Rank yet, stuck just a short way from the bottleneck and seemingly unable to push himself over that last little barrier to reach the actual bottleneck.

If he could get there, he would advance, he was certain. But he was going to need some sort of treasure or assistance, and even the upgraded Holy Stones and the improved energy in his space werenʼt enough to push him any further.

Karl suspected that Thor might just need time. They had all been advancing so fast, and without an overwhelmingly powerful evolution like Hawk had undergone, it was simply unreasonable to think that even a Holy Thunder evolved Cerro could grow so fast.

The whales were all up on the shore now. At least the ones that the Demons thought they could recover. If they had sunk to the ocean floor before anyone got a rope around them, it was a lost cause trying to get them moved.

None of them knew that the vast majority of those bodies had been snatched up by Hawk, and there were only the weakest or most damaged left down below for marine life to gorge themselves on.

After an event like this, the fishing in the bay would be incredible for the next few months, with entire schools of sea fish coming closer to shore to feast upon the fallen whales. A single whale fall was a major event for water element sea monsters when it was at such a high Rank. But when it happened in only a few hundred metres of water, within a kilometre of shore, it was paradise for the fishermen as well.

More and more people were coming to the docks, either to purchase materials or to work, so Karl bid farewell to the District Overseers and brought everyone back to the Guild House.

The ladies were still in the Dungeon with Thor, as they no longer needed a second beast companion to assist now that Dana had reached Monarch Rank and could have her golems plus her Epic Guard help out.

How much they knew about current events was unknown, but Karl was hoping that he could surprise them with an Overlord Remi by the time that they got back.

That might be difficult, though, They had to cross a large portion of the city to get back to the house, and someone was likely to spill the news about Rae and Hawk being at the Flying Whale event.

A flying Rae was a daytime nightmare for many people, and they wouldnʼt forget that any time soon.

Rae was overjoyed that being Rae was still so impressive.

But right now, she was more focused on getting her advancement bath ready.

She had just finished her preparations and began her soaking procedure when the others returned to the Guild House, all eager to see Remi.

Especially Lotus.

”They said that sheʼs a blue Ocean Spirit Snake now. A huge one. I have to see it.” The little cleric demanded with her hands on her hips.

Remi giggled, then appeared in the yard in Spirit Snake form and waited for Lotus to notice her.

The Nature Cleric sensed the presence behind her, and then saw Remiʼs enormous eye looking in the door. A form this large really was inconvenient, but Remi was happy to take Lotus for a ride.

Lotus nimbly climbed up the Spirit Snakeʼs head and sat down, then realized that Remi was very slippery, and didnʼt have protrusions to hold on to. But that could be fixed with a vine growth spell, and now she had a crude harness to hold on to. They slowly floated over the wall, and Remi waved to the people on the ground in the outer Frostfire Gate suburbs as they passed by. The demons below them laughed as they saw what most mistook as a Dragonkin child riding a Giant Spirit Snake like a mount. They had to be pretty close friends for the powerful beast to allow itself to be ridden, but it looked like a lot of fun to the wingless Demons, who had never experienced flight on their own.

The guards waved to them as Remi dipped below the wall to go through the gate, though she simply flew over the short line of people coming into the city for butcher work, or to buy Flying Whale meat.

”That was wonderful. Thank you, Remi.”

Then Remi changed back, and Lotus found out that she had all new scales, and she looked much younger again. A fellow small person, at least for a Rank or two.
