The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1239: BOOK

Karl checked his inventory, and found that the dungeon had given him a skill book and a pile of Immortal Rank elemental gems.

[Book of Mana Pylon] Epic Grade Skill Book. Creates a Mana Pylon that refreshes five percent of the user’s mana per second for all group members within User Rank x 10 metres.

“What did you get?” Deve asked Karl when the Beast Master returned to his usual Demon Cat form.

“I got a skill book. The Blue Dragons are going to lose their minds over this one.” Karl joked.

Deve nodded. “That they are. Nothing says happy blue dragons like a new skill book for them to copy and teach others. Is it a combat skill?”

Karl shook his head. “Not exactly. It’s this.”

Karl used the book and then activated [Mana Pylon] which immediately flooded the area with energy.

“That is just excessive. How much mana does that thing give?” Lars gasped as the first pulse hit him, and his mana level jumped, then jumped again a second later to nearly full.

“Five percent of my mana per second for all group members. And I have a lot of mana.”

The white dragon did a quick mental calculation. Karl had to have at least five times as much mana as he did, if that pulse was five percent of his total. How was that even fair? He wasn’t even a spell caster.

“Alright, we should likely warn the others that this dungeon has seen a small change. I don’t know if it’s going to be stuck at level six difficulty for everyone, just us, or if that’s a one-time bonus.

If we unlocked a difficulty setting for the dungeon, that would be perfect. But if we just increased the difficulty level to an insane level, there might not be enough Immortals on the continent to make a proper raiding team for it.” Deve noted.

Cara was laughing hysterically as she lay on her back atop her mountain of loot.

She had a badger plushie in her hands that Karl didn’t recognize.

Then, he noticed that it was a magical item. An Immortal Rank, indestructible plushie shaped like Cara.

That might not have been what Karl expected to be on the rewards list, but it was the perfect reward for causing chaos in the dungeon.

An indestructible toy to cuddle with while she napped and prepared for the next time she caused Chaos.

Lars held up an Immortal Rank, Rare Grade amulet, his reward for the dungeon, and Abel shrugged before taking out an Epic Grade leather bodysuit that Karl would have paid good money to see him wear in public.

Cara roared with laughter. It was cut like a women’s swimsuit. If he did try to wear it, he would be dangling out both sides of the crotch.

“I think it gave me someone else’s reward. Or perhaps it’s calling me broke? Because this will make some real money when I put it up for sale.”

The other group members chuckled. The items that the dungeons gave were always a bit random, but usually, they were somewhat related to your class. In a way, getting a gender-specific item you couldn’t use was like getting an item not for your class, only more annoying because you could use the bonuses if you could wear it properly.

Karl took a handful of Immortal Rank Elemental Gems out of his inventory, and one Totem Ranked, Epic Grade sword, which was better than what Abel was using.

“Want to trade? I will buy it from you.” He offered.

Abel did quick mental math, then handed over the skimpy leather armour piece.

“You have a deal.”

Karl traded him, then handed the item to Dana, who handed it to Rae.

The spider cheered as she examined the piece, and began mentally calculating what she would need to do to make an item with similar bonuses using her crafting skills.

The Warrior shook his head in dismay as the Immortal Ranked armour piece was passed from hand to hand like it was a second string trash drop nobody really wanted. That wasn’t actually the case, but it did look like it from his point of view.

However, he got paid, and got an upgrade. Not as large as some of the others, but still an upgrade.

Deve led the group out of the dungeon, where the Alliance’s guards were eagerly waiting for them to come out and add their loot record to the notes.

Karl checked the trash loot that he had gotten, which was all Common and Uncommon Grade Totem Rank, and added the amount to the list. The others did the same, and the Guards nodded happily, then paused when they saw the five out of place items on the list.

“Immortal Ranked items?” The Monarch Ranked warrior guarding the record book asked.

“It’s a long story. The Chaos Badger managed to change the dungeon difficulty.” Deve informed him.

Cara giggled. She might have been the one to pick, but it was definitely not her fault that the hard mode was triggered.

That was all on Karl and Dana.

Word of the enhanced dungeon had spread quickly, and there was considerable debate between Raj and Hugo whether it was something to do with Dana’s Class that was triggering the anomalies.

This was the second time that it had happened while she was in a dungeon, and she was the only member that had been present both times that it had happened.

So, there was a logical chance that it was her presence that was causing the anomalies related to Dungeon Difficulty.

And if they could prove it, they might be able to make a fortune increasing the difficulty level of other easy Mythic Dungeons with lousy loot.

The amount that other Alliances would pay for the chance to make some of the worst Mythic Dungeons actually pay out reliably in Mythic Items would be immense. But if they could increase the difficulty as high as this one, those who could survive would soon become leaders of the Zilaz region.

And that was the moment when Deve truly understood what the Immortal Regent had meant about the Darklight Host being a disruptive force on the level that they would change the entire financial dynamic of the continent if they were left unsupervised.

Perhaps it was best that they didn’t mention this good fortune to anyone outside the Guild Alliance.
