The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1202: Pancakes Bring All The Girls

One of the dragonkin Druids came out with a huge stack of berry pancakes, and a happy squealing let Karl know that they had visitors.

Lotus and Button skipped into the room, with Cara right behind them and an angry old Orcish woman herding them.

”They’re your problem now. I’m going to fix the lights again.” She grumbled, and Karl tried not to laugh at the smug look on Cara’s face.

They had rearranged the lights in the underground complex last night, then did them again this morning, when the staff thought that they had them all fixed.

”Who did you want to go see first? I am thinking that going to see King Axel and Ahmad would be fastest, as they’re in the same room. Then they can take you to Othello and Kenichi.

Yes, that will work. If we do it right, some of the others will come straight to you.” Matilda decided.

”And you’ll send me to go get our parents?” Dana asked.

”Yes, that is good. Actually, I don’t need to send Karl to get Niall and Sybil. Rae can do that. I know she’s been wanting to go see them again.” The Chaos Dragon suggested.

That should be entertaining.

”Is Sybil still at the Academy?” Karl asked.

”Yes, but Niall is out on a mission nearby. Whoever goes to invite them will have to find him, then message me to open a portal.” Matilda explained.

Rae appeared next to them with a huge smile on her face. ”That sounds like fun. I will go collect my baby Rogue, and hunt Niall through the wilderness. Maybe we can even hunt monsters together.”

That sounded like a nightmare for whoever was with Niall, but that wasn’t really Karl’s problem. Rae likely wouldn’t eat them, and a little excitement would keep Niall on his toes.

Karl nodded to the dragon. ”Alright, you might as well start opening the portals, and we can get started on collecting the guests.”

The Chaos Dragon looked like he had just given her a present, and then Karl’s vision blurred, and he found himself standing in the Archbishop’s office in the Golden Dragon Nation Capital, with two panicked faces staring back at him.

”Ah, perfect timing. Gentlemen, I believe that you received an invitation to my wedding? Supreme Lady Matilda has sent me to start picking up the guests from this continent for the festivities.” Karl greeted King Axel and Ahmad.

Then he frowned and looked around. ”Shouldn’t the Archbishop be here? This is his office. We can grab him at the same time.”

Ahmad took one slow breath, then began to relax.

”Karl?” He asked slowly.

That’s when it dawned on him. He had forgotten to transform back into his natural human appearance.

”Oh, right. I got too used to being transformed. Yes, it’s me.”

Karl returned to human form, and changed into a casual suit of Rae’s creation, with golden dragons embroidered down the left sleeve.

”You really have mastered the art of giving people heart attacks, haven’t you? But I’m afraid that the position of Archbishop is open at the moment, as they are conducting discussions on which of the new Totem Ranked members of the Clergy are best suited for the position.” Ahmad explained.

Karl shrugged. ”Well, then that saves us finding one more dignitary. I do still need to find Othello, Nacht and Misty, though. Oh, and I was told that the Drake Rider Kenichi should be around here somewhere.”

King Axel gave him a confused look. ”First, how did you know that? Second, how are you so powerful at Totem Rank?”

”Matilda told me he would be here somewhere. But how do you know I’m powerful? I haven’t done anything.” Karl replied.

”You really can’t tell? I can feel the oppression from your aura as you stand there. It’s like standing next to a mana vein lodestone that has [Oppression] cast on it. Just how much mana do you have?” The King asked.

Karl snapped his fingers. ”I get it now. I don’t notice because I’ve been on the Dragon Isles, where it’s more normal. What if I do this?”

He put up [Nullify] as a thin barrier over himself, blocking his aura.

”That’s just creepier. It’s like you vanished completely, even though I can see you. But it’s a bit more friendly than the other way. Like you don’t have System Access at all.”

Karl shrugged. ”Well, I will have to work on suppressing my aura later. I just finished upgrading my mental strength, and that must have caused the effect to increase.

Do you think that you could invite the others who are here in the Capital to come meet with me? Or we can go find them around town.

I am familiar with their scents and auras, so I should be able to find them on my own if needed. But tracking like that works better with the [Avatar] skill activated.”

”Avatar? What god gave you the blessing of being his Avatar on this world?” A sharp voice asked from the doorway.

”Drake Rider Kenichi! Perfect timing, I was just about to go looking for you.” Karl greeted the new arrival, who he noticed had advanced from Overlord to Totem Rank.

”So, the letter inviting me to your wedding wasn’t a prank, then? I must admit, I was shocked when it showed up in my bedroom.”

That was something that Karl had never thought to ask. Matilda said that she sent out the invitations after the list was finalized, but he never thought about how she was planning to get them to all the guests.

With tiny portals, it would seem.

”What God’s Avatar did you become? One of the Dragon Gods, yes? Perhaps the Laughing God? You do seem to have an affinity to Chaos.” The Drake Rider asked.

Karl shook his head. ”No, the World Dragon. I will have to show off the transformation later, it is quite impressive.”

All three men froze, then Kenichi made a warding gesture across his chest.

”No way. The Avatar of the World Dragon has returned to the world? It can’t be?

The ancient legends say that is the final sign of the resurgence, soon, the ley lines will reach their peak, and even the common workers will be System Users.” He murmured.

That was already the case on the Dragon Isles.

The residents of this continent were in for some real shocks when they met the members of the Darklight Host at the wedding.
