The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1695 Rewarding Growth

Knowing that they wouldnʼt lose out on the Guild Skills when he was gone and establishing a new Branch House in the Immortal World was a huge weight off Karlʼs mind.

With everything else that had happened today, it was nice to get some good

news.

Everyone sat silently, letting Lotusʼ area healing recover any lingering injuries as they ate.

”Well, we actually canʼt stay here too long. Weʼve got a dungeon run this afternoon, but itʼs been a pleasure to come out and have a proper fight,” the Supreme with the white wings sighed.

”Oh, add us to your friend list! We can come out and play later. None of these guys is any fun. I think they still see me as a little sister to protect and not a serious group member,” the Elf added.

Karl laughed. ”Iʼm a bit under ranked to run Dungeons with you. But definitely add me to your friends list. I donʼt know if we will be able to communicate across worlds, but at the very least Iʼll be able to use it to find you so I can open a portal.”

”You can do interplanetary portals without a device? That is handy. Can you do between planes as well? I want to go to the Fae Realm and chase pixies!”

Karl laughed, and the other Supremes groaned at the memory of the last time she did that.

”Actually, I can. But I also have a Forest Trickster right here if you would like to play tag”

The Elf giggled. ”I was mostly joking. But I will remember that promise. Trying to catch them is delightfully difficult, it keeps the mind sharp.”

Karl nodded, and accepted that the other six were simply tagging along with these more influential branch leaders, or not outgoing enough that they wanted people to contact them.

”Oh, before you go, let me make you a little something. I canʼt let you help for free. Actually, I think that I have something that might suffice already in my inventory.”

Karl took out a handful of Villa Stones, and passed them out among the group. ”Oh, this is nice. Even better than my old tent, and itʼs got an energy gathering array built in, plus a self stocking kitchen?

You know, you might have come from a Mortal World, but you really did inherit the spirit of the Darklight Host right from the start. You probably donʼt know yet, but the Guild is somewhat notorious for coming up with strange and unique magical items and spells.

Weʼve got some of the only Spellcrafter Class Immortals youʼll find anywhere, you know.” Allie bragged.

”You know, I have the [Skill Merger] ability, and I really should make better use of it. There are so many options here in the Immortal World that I definitely do need to find an opportunity to stock up hundreds of them, just to make fun new things.” Karl agreed.

”Thatʼs the spirit. Teach it to your Dana Mage as well. Sheʼs likely the smarter half of your pairing.”

Dana laughed as the guys in the Supreme group rolled their eyes.

”Hey, us lovely young ladies need to stick together. If we let the boys do all the thinking, theyʼd split the task between both heads and never get anything done.”

Karl winked and swatted her on the bottom, just to prove her point.

The Elf giggled and ran over to give Dana a hug. ”Oh, we are totally coming back to visit this place. It shouldnʼt take long, and youʼll both be Ascended Immortals, then we can start dragging you along on Supreme Ranked dungeon trips to build experience.

Trust me, it works great, and you learn so much about what it takes to surpass the peak of Immortality simply by fighting against monsters who have done it.” If any of the Elders could hear that, they would be spitting blood in rage.

Was surpassing Peak Immortal so easy?

Not even one in a hundred Peak Immortals ever became Supreme. If you could do it just by fighting over your Rank, would they still be stuck?

But Karl had faith in the Darklight Host. If they said that it would work, then it would work.

It was likely that the difference lay in the group that went with you and the guidance that they offered. If they hadnʼt chanced upon the method, and had been taught it in more detail than simply what was necessary for their own personal bottleneck, it wouldnʼt be any harder than an Immortal teaching a Totem about the Fundamental Rules so that they could advance more smoothly.

”You seem quite familiar with my Class progression. How is that?” Karl asked, before they could leave.

”Oh, itʼs a Guild thing. If you bring up the Guild Log, you can see the Rank and Class advancements of members. Most of the time itʼs only the ones from your branch, as well as other branch leaders. However, if youʼre looking at them, you can see their history since they entered the Guild.

For some, thatʼs a lifetime of information, for others, itʼs just a few entries.” Joseph, the white winged Supreme, noted.

”Oh, I hadnʼt noticed that entry before. I see now. It looks like most of you entered the Guild when you were already stronger Immortals, but Lady Allie entered at System Awakening”

”Ooh, he calls me Lady. See, thatʼs the kind of respect you used to have for me,” the Elf complained to Maribel, the white dragonʼs Avatar, according to the

System.

”Thatʼs because youʼve looked the same since we met at age twelve. Do you know how hard it is to take someone seriously when they look like a child

forever?”

”Hey! Iʼm getting there. Itʼs just that I come from the High Elven bloodline, and we mature more slowly than usual.”

Joseph sighed and patted the Elf on her head. ”You two have been at that for fifty years. You even advanced on the same day, just so that neither of you got to have the first party.”

Allie and Mirabel shrugged in unison. As much as they bickered, they really had been best friends since they were children.

Doug, the quiet one of the four who had added Karl to his friend list, cleared his

throat.

”Since youʼve all forgotten, I will remind the young Pet Sitter. You have a skill named Pet Sitter in your skill tree, and itʼs the first one that you should get. I see that you didnʼt use it in the battle, so you must not have it yet.

If you did, youʼd have had them active.

Dominion is also a useful one, as it extends skills to max sensory range, which includes your bonded beasts. So you could use skills from an absolutely insane distance. Pet Sitters are absolutely broken when it comes to ambushes and

playing dirty tricks.

Itʼs just a shame that youʼre not from the Ancient species. You would have so many innate abilities that compliment your Class.

But theyʼre pretty rare.

Now, we really do need to get going, and you need to go back out into the Clan

to give back the loot, and to make sure that the survivors of the Clans you

disbanded donʼt take all the good stuff from their compounds before they

leave.

The New Home Merchant Clan is entitled to a fifth of it, but some of the victories were attributed to the Darklight Host, so the locals might try to argue with the distribution if youʼre not with them.”
