The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1115: Totemic Dungeon

”Alright, I will join you for the run, as long as someone tells me where to go.” Karl agreed.

Rae smiled as she prepared to return to her space.

”You’re coming as well? I thought that you were going to be busy making decorations for the Alliance.” Karl joked.

”Even Remi stopped working to join us. It’s been too long since we were in a Dungeon. We should call Cara back, but she’s having fun.” Rae replied.

Raj frowned. ”Did Deve really take her home with him? That’s an even worse idea than showing up smelling like her.”

Rae laughed. ”She’s playing with his children now. They like flying around the lobby.”

The Mythic Warrior sighed. ”There should be a law against that. Flying badgers is just excessive. Cruel and unusual punishment to the cleaners should apply in this scenario.”

”Deve has experience with them, he took all the crayons away before he let them near Cara. But she’s being careful not to crash into the walls or decorations, and the lobby of their Guild Manor has been childproofed, since their members have so many kids staying there.” Rae added.

Karl turned to the mage. ”What is our part of the group like?”

”We’re supposed to provide the main tank, two healers, and two mages. We’ve got everyone but the tank waiting.”

”Alright, let’s go join them. It’s annoying when people keep you waiting for a run. I take it this is a ten-person run?” Karl replied.

The mage shook her head. ”No, it’s a twenty-five person, they were just short a few people with members on vacation. Their alliance isn’t as large as ours.”

”So, they have twenty, we bring the five. Alright, that works. Just let me inform Cara that we’re headed out, and we can leave.”

The moment that he said that, Cara returned to her space, then came out to wave at the mage.

”Oh, it’s you. Deve’s new friend. I saw him chasing you around the garden earlier.”

Karl gave Cara a suspicious look and she shrugged.

[The kids wanted to fly outside. It was fun, and landing on grass is softer. Plus, my claws won’t damage the floor.]

Then she returned to her space, and Karl motioned for the mage to lead the way.

”Thanks for the invite, Guild Master. If you want a snack, I believe that the ladies have some baked goods going in the kitchen.” He offered.

As one, the four Lala bunnies poked their heads out of the kitchen. They had been preparing for the ladies to return from the Dungeon. Who was this new man invited to the celebration?

Karl gave Dana a one-armed hug, and he whispered in her ear. ”I will be back in a few hours to hear all about your trip. Don’t let Lotus overdose on popcorn.”

Dana smiled up at him. ”If anyone can make it possible to overdose on popcorn, it would be Lotus.”

Karl followed the mage out of the manor, then extended his hand. ”I believe that we missed this stage. I am Karl, Beast Master Champion, and it’s a pleasure to work with you today.”

”I am Cindy, Fire Mage. It’s a pleasure to meet you properly. We didn’t have an opportunity to talk when everyone was shopping for new clothes. Lady Rae has become something of a legend among the Alliance.”

Karl nodded. ”I can understand that. She’s gone all out making clothes and armour. Our Grandmaster Blacksmith has the disadvantage in creation speed, so he hasn’t gotten the same level of recognition yet.

I suppose that it doesn’t help that he’s still in Drodh either.”

Raj split off when they passed his Guild’s Manor, but Cindy led Karl out the front of the outer building, and into the city.

”You know, since I arrived, I haven’t even had an opportunity to see the rest of the city? This is the first time I’ve been outside in days. It’s kind of bright out here.”

The mage laughed. ”The great complaint of crafters everywhere: seeing the sun.”

Karl inspected the shops as they passed through the commercial district, headed for the Myceloid Dungeon, according to the signs at every street corner.

They stopped at a coffee shop, and Cindy gestured to the other members of the team.

”This is Marcus, an Arcane Mage, and these are Don and Reggie, our Clerics.” She explained.

The Arcane mage was wearing black robes, made by Rae, while both Clerics had Rae’s signature Cleric Robes on, in thick white silk.

”It looks like our fashion line is becoming quite popular. Though, it is odd not to see the trademark spider logo on the white robes.” Karl joked.

The dragonkin man known as Reggie rolled up his sleeve, revealing that there was a small white spider embroidered into the robes.

[I put them in hidden spots on the cleric robes, so it doesn’t upset their Gods.] Rae explained.

”Mister Karl. What form will you take to Tank the battle? Will you be in Dragon Avatar form? Some of the Myceloids are pretty big.” Reggie asked.

”I was intending to have my summoned creatures do the work of tanking for us. Spectral Knights are excellent tanks, and they come equipped with shields and heavy armour. If they do the heavy work on the front line, we shouldn’t have a problem holding the enemy back for the damage dealers.” Karl explained.

”That’s unconventional. But do they have life leech or regeneration? I need to know what the healing strategy will be. That’s why we insist that if they require both healers, we also provide the main tank.” The balding dragonkin explained.

”They have both available to them. They heal when they deal damage, and I will have a Trollish Regeneration level self-healing effect on them, as well as an [Eternal Lightning] barrier.

Honestly, I don’t expect them to need much healing at all, it is the rest of the group that you’ll have to focus on.

I have a skill called [Territorial] which causes [Intimidation] on hit, which should keep the attention on them. But they don’t have a proper taunt ability.” Karl informed the healers.

[Bestial Champion] would double the effect of all buffs that he cast on his himself or his bonded partners, but he wasn’t sure if that would apply to buffs on the [Undead Army] spell constructs.

”If they have problems, I will step in, and I can roar in dragon form. It’s pretty effective.” He added, just in case.
