The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 826  Rae Emerges

The kitchen staff was making a celebratory dinner for everyone, and Raeʼs advancement was well underway, with over a third of the blood in her bath already absorbed as her power surged.

This time, there were noticeable changes to her body, not just a small change in size or coloration.

Her fuzz was vanishing, scrubbed away in the bath, revealing hard armoured chitin plates over most of her body, with deep black leathery flesh at the joints. Her legs gleamed with a metallic lustre under their coating of blood, and her formerly black eyes glowed a malevolent red.

She was growing as well, though not to an extreme extent. Her body was getting slightly longer, more elongated and less bulbous.

It was only when the bath water was gone and Rae had finished polishing herself that Karl realized she wasnʼt actually wet from the bath, her carapace was slightly translucent at the surface, and appeared to be dripping with blood at all times, though it was smooth and dry on the surface and the bloody effect was underneath.

{New Skills Gained}

[Racial Skill] {Blood Destruction} Blood Elemental Magic. Rapidly increases or decreases the temperature of targetʼs bodily fluids. Once the temperature change is complete, the target explodes, dealing 50% Target Rank x Caster base damage to everything within a 10m radius.

{Demonic Oppression} passive skill. Targets with a bloodline potential lower than the Blood Destruction Demonic Spider suffer from [Oppression] reducing speed and damage by 30% within a (User Rank x 10m) radius

{Evolution Completed} [Blood Destruction Demonic Spider]

Remi pulled Lotus back into the house as she felt Raeʼs process completing, and waited for Karl to inform everyone.

That was not what happened, as Rae had too strong of a sense for the dramatic to allow that. Instead, she appeared incorporeal in Night Haunter form and let the lingering effect that her new passive skill had on allies alert everyone to her presence. Only when they were starting to look around for the sense of Danger did Rae appear in the middle of the shop.

Screams rang through the room, and Rae giggled, a haunting rumble that seemed to echo through the room from some distant space.

Then she changed back to her humanoid form and did a spin.

”I did it. Not just an Overlord, but a new kind of Overlord.” She explained.

Karl cleared his throat. ”Everyone, meet Rae Bloodbath, our Guildʼs newest Overlord, and now a Blood Destruction Demonic Spider.”

”Two advancements in one day? That is incredible.” Loros gasped as she examined Raeʼs humanoid form to see if there were differences.

It was a transformation spell, not a natural transformation, so it hadnʼt changed. But examining her spider form was just a bit too terrifying for most of the Demons.

”So, now there are two combat forces at Overlord? Well, three if we count Karl?” Wendy asked with an excited note in her voice.

Karl nodded. ”Thatʼs right. The others shouldnʼt be too far behind. If we give it a few more weeks or a month, I think that everyone should be able to make an advancement.”

At the back of the room, Loros sighed, and Karl smiled at her. ”Even you. Youʼre not far from becoming a Commander now with all the crafting work that you have done. It builds up your mana quality with every success. Give it a bit more time, and you will be able to join Wendy in making the most profitable mass production items in the shop. Well, now that the city wants us to give them the higher grade stuff.”

Davis cleared his throat. ”Why donʼt we mess with the city just a little bit? I found a large piece of Spirit Jade, the Overlord Quality version of Mana Jade.

Technically, itʼs a countertop that was being removed, but as nobody else knows how to turn it into a magical item, the cost was reasonable.

I put that on the Guild Store account, by the way.”

Karl smiled. ”So, youʼre saying that we can make a bunch of Overlord Ranked accessories?”

Davis smirked in response. ”Exactly. And just not sell them. The agreement only said that we couldnʼt sell the ones that we made without going through the city. They didnʼt say anything about equipping our own with ridiculously overpowered gear.

Just the aura from a few pieces like that would be enough to make most of the city officials cry at the thought of what price it might fetch.”

Karl nodded. ”I will have to do some research into the Runes. If weʼre going to go all out, it should be something so insanely overpowered or ridiculous that nobody would believe it if they hadnʼt seen it themselves.”

Karl thought about the answer. All of the ladies were casters, except for Ophelia, so if it was a noncombat sort of item, or a buff, he would only need to come up with two types.

Or perhaps even one. If he made it something that nobody would willingly turn down, they could all wear the same item, like a signature piece from the Guild.

The question was: What sort of inscription would he need to make for it to apply to everyone? He had already done the basics with skill power increase, and that would likely stay. But he needed something that would put it over the top.

An Overlord Ranked item should be somewhat Epic, even if it wasnʼt Epic Grade.

As everyone dispersed to their tasks, Karl took a seat on the second floor and began flipping through the [Dwarven Runecrafting] tome, looking for ideas.

The Dwarves were exceptionally practical when it came to their Rune work, so Karl was certain that he would find something that would help, even if it was a passing reference, or a combination of simple concepts to make something that would be worth bringing to the Overlord Rank.

Karl flipped through the pages, and then he realized that the Dwarves had the perfect noncombat buff for this type of item.

He could start it with Mana storage as the base, along with Skill Power. But then it could be expanded to create a complex rune for increased potential, faster growth, and divine favour. The blessing was one that the Dwarves used frequently, according to the book, but with Overlord Ranked Runes, it should make for an item that added luck and increased the growth rate of the user.

That was what they all needed the most.
