The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1044

Cara was immensely pleased with her new acquisition.

She had no idea how it was supposed to work, as she had failed to make it do anything but glow faintly with Chaos energy, but as that was all she could make it do, it had been repurposed as a rather beautiful decorative night light over her bed.

That might seem like a small thing to others, but they didn't understand how difficult it was to make Chaos Energy glow.

Dana flopped down on the grass beside Karl as Thor and Hawk finished cleaning up the battlefield. The others had retreated into the Tiny World to rest, but the afternoon was clear and warm, but not scorching hot as the desert had been.

"Well, that was quite the battle. Do you think that it's something personal between Lord Bomgon and us?" She asked, unsure what to make of the situation.

"Yes and no. I am reasonably certain that he despises me, but I have the feeling that he's not deliberately targeting us, but the locations we're standing at.

As I recall, his goal was to remove the System from humans and others weaker than the Undead.

But we're standing on the former location of a full set of System Stones.

If I'm not mistaken, we've become a recurrent foil to his plans. We keep ending up at the best possible locations for advancements and System benefits, but those are also the locations that the Undead Army is trying to find so that they can destroy them." Karl mused.

"So, we just keep getting attacked everywhere that we go?"

Karl shrugged and rolled over to kiss her forehead. "That's not really up to us, is it? If we keep ending up in the locations where System Relics are, it's likely that we will keep getting attacked. But there are only so many of them to be found, so it might be months or longer before we run into another one.

And by then, Lord Bomgon might have come up with a better idea.

If it becomes a real issue, we can start exploring a different region for excessive numbers of monsters. The Undead Army is focusing on just this one region, so if we switch nations, there is a very low chance that we will keep having trouble with them."

Dana was skeptical of that plan. She knew that no matter where they went, strange and unexpected outcomes would follow them, and the Lord of Bomgon might not be the biggest troublemaker that they attracted into their tangled web of fate.

"I will talk to the others about what they would like to do. There has to be some sort of solution that doesn't lead to the Undead Army sending stronger and stronger opponents at us until we're all dead." She quietly informed him.

"It will all work out in the end, you'll see." Karl agreed.

Karl and Dana simply lay beside each other in the grass for a while, enjoying the afternoon sun, until a disturbance in the distance caught Karl's attention.

"Something is coming, and it's not the Orcs coming back." He whispered, not wanting to alert whatever was coming their way if it hadn't already noticed them. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

His aura was strong, and he wasn't trying to hide it, so if it was wild monsters, they should have realized that there was a Totem Ranked threat in the grass here. Leaving his aura fully exposed was practically setting a warning flag on his location to chase wild beasts away.

The group wasn't slowing, and they had adjusted their course to approach Karl directly. Definitely not an accident, and possibly from a monster spawn.

So, Karl got up out of the grass and watched the group of Naga as they approached.

Remi slid out to greet the Naga Chieftain, and the whole delegation bowed down, laying flat on the grass.

{Your Majesty, it is a pleasure to meet you. The Goddess requests your presence at her Temple.} The Chieftain insisted.

{These are my people, we will all have to travel together. How far is it to the temple?} Remi asked.

{Five hundred kilometres. Not more than ten days travel.}

Remi chuckled. It was so strange to hear someone describe travel in days when they had Hawk, Thor and Karl.

{I think that we can make it there faster than that. If you join me in the carriage, the rest of your team can rest in the separate space, and we can make it much faster.} She insisted.

The Naga looked vaguely insulted.

{Your Majesty, it is an important part of the ritual to travel to the Temple under your own power. We can let your people come to the city, but they cannot enter the Temple with you once we arrive.} He explained.

Remi shrugged. {We will sort that out once we are there. But ten days travel on the grass, is that really necessary?}

The Chieftain tried not to laugh. The young Queen really was a born regent, even if she was raised among other species.
