The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1185: Dragons Freed

Dana bombarded the ground with spells, then summoned her Golems as Karl approached the ground, giving them someone to fight before Cara arrived.

Karl added his, including a full team of Spectral Knights, adding to the attack force.

Then, Tian destroyed all the shackles on the dragons at the same time that Cara stole the barrier orb.

Not destroyed. She killed the man holding it, and then tossed it in her space to inspect later.

The barrier over the dragon pens collapsed, and the captured dragons cheered in victory before either attacking their captors or grabbing handfuls of eggs from various clutches and flying away.

{Thank you, World Dragon. Good luck.} The female voice who had warned Karl declared, this time in his ears, not in his mind.

It was a young Ice Dragon, her scales nearly transparent over blue hide, giving her the appearance of thick ice, like what was found in the Frost Giant nation.

Then, there was Cara everywhere.

[Lesser Cara, Greater Cara, Epic Cara!] The Chaos Badger cheered.

”Did she just turn herself into Golems?” Dana laughed as the whole group exploded with flames.

Cara had activated [Elemental’s Wrath], and the Golems gained the skill as well.

Karl bit the head off a Dragonkin mage, then shook his head. {I don’t think that they’re actual Golems. They’re illusions. She’s mimicking the Golem Spell with clones made of pure chaos energy, then transformed into Elementals.}

In her space, Opal nodded in agreement. This was a form of minor illusion. If someone damaged them, they would vanish. The problem was damaging them when they were berserk and had Limited Invulnerability based on Cara’s durability.

The badgers were relentless, tearing through the camp with one destination in mind.

The tunnels.

Where did you hide the good loot? In your room, of course.

There was nothing good in the camp, just a bunch of leftovers that the dragons didn’t leave with. So, the good stuff had to be underground, and she was going to find it.

The real Cara was intently hunting down all the mages who were trying to influence the Dragons’ minds, killing and looting all the mind control and dragon imprisonment devices that they kept trying to use on Karl, not understanding that he wasn’t really a Dragon.

”It must be the dragon rider! Aim for the rider, and we should be able to recapture the product.” One of the dragonkin shouted.

Karl smashed him under one massive foot, and Cara used [Pilfer] to see what he was hiding.

She got a single golden key, which wasn’t too interesting.

But keys led to things that were interesting.

The man didn’t even realize that he had been robbed before Karl activated [Void Blast] around his foot and obliterated the leader’s body.

Soon, there were no other dragons in the fight. They were either dead, or they had fled after the enemies on the surface were all gone. The reinforcements that the dragonkin had been counting on had never arrived, as Hawk was a master at grabbing little rodents who popped their heads out of tunnels.

He had flooded every entrance that he could find with Ghostfire, except the one that the Cara Clones had entered.

[Boss, we found good stuff. Well, good stuff that you can have. There is a portal stone, and it’s got an open portal.] Cara updated.

[Where does it lead?]

[Dunno. Some other world. Not powerful, weaker than the mana here. I sent a few Caras through, and they didn’t find anything good. It’s just a basement with nothing but a portal and no doors.]

The mages must enter with magic, then.

[Tell them to grab the portal stones from both sides and bring them here. I’m not going to transform and clear the tunnels, we will let the golems do it.] Karl explained.

[Got it. Portal stones incoming.]

The stones were made of polished obsidian, and carved with active runes. Whoever had made these knew the art of Runecrafting. But they were set to randomize the destination every time that the spell was activated.

So, even if the same spell was used again, it was unlikely that they would end up on this world.

[I don’t see any more survivors with Soul Sight.] Hawk informed them.

[Alright, the Golems will try to flush some more from underground. I don’t know if there will be any, but we shouldn’t leave any of them to try to open a new portal home.] Karl agreed.

Cara hummed happily as she began to pile eggs into the Tiny World.

Nobody had claimed these ones, so they were definitely lootable, even if they didn’t go in the loot pile.

The caretakers in the Tiny World were thoroughly baffled by the sudden appearance of hundreds of dragon eggs scattered over every part of the Tiny World, but the Forest Dragon was overjoyed when she found some from her own species carefully tucked into the branches of the largest trees in the forest zone.

{Dana, can you go update the caretakers about the dragon eggs? Cara doesn’t speak common.} Karl requested.

”What caretakers?” Dana asked.

{Right. Forgot to mention them. There is a whole group of Nature Priestesses and Druids living in the tiny world, taking care of the plants for Remi’s Alchemy, and the tiny world itself.

Cara moved all the dragon eggs into the various environments there for safekeeping.

They’re bound to be confused, and I didn’t want to drop you in the dirt when I moved.} Karl explained.

He opened the portal, and Dana stepped through to find herself face to face with a tiny cleric with branches in her hair and tears in her eyes.

”Did you send me siblings? Thank you so much, pretty lady. You must be the Dana Mage. Boss Karl told us all about you. Do you know how many of them there are? We’re finding dragon eggs everywhere.” The tiny woman rambled.

”Yes, I am Dana. We raided a camp that had imprisoned dragons for breeding purposes. These are the eggs that none of the survivors claimed. I don’t know how many of them there are, the Chaos Badger placed them all.

But might I ask who you are?” Dana replied.

”Oh, you can call me Button. I’m a Forest Dragon Nature Priestess.”

That part was self-explanatory. The introduction alone was enough to tell Dana that this was a Nature Priestess. But a Forest Dragon? When did they get a Forest Dragon? And she was very close to the Totem Rank.

The branches were also part of her hair.
