The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158: Easy Win

Karl took a seat, and then looked up and saw a writing desk suspended in a glass orb above them. It was covered in incredibly ancient magical runes, and from what Karl could see, it was intended to make all the materials you needed to create a Skill Book while working at it.

That was brilliant.

Force Slam wasn’t too hard to create, at least for Karl. But his skill wasn’t [Inscription], it was [Skill Book], and it had far fewer conditions for creation, but far stricter ones on what books he could make.

So, he got out suitable ink from Remi’s supply stash of plant extracts, and grabbed a stack of paper from the middle of the table.

"On the count of three, you may begin." The Demoness announced.

Karl noticed that she wasn’t participating, she was the store staff serving as referee for the event. He should have known that a Wrath Demon was not suited to be an Inscriptionist.

The first time that the pen dripped and ruined a page with an ink blot, they would lose it.

Karl quickly began to write out the small booklet that was [Force Slam], and then sent a surge of mana through the papers with [Skill Book] to form the cover and activate the tome.

"Finished." He spoke quietly, and looked up from his work.

One of the others was already finished, and Karl smiled as he saw [Rend] on the table in front of them.

"You only win if you finish in an hour." The dragonkin mouthed silently.

So that was the trick. He was wagering that anyone who picked a skill book more complex and valuable than Rend would not finish on time, and would therefore lose by default.

Karl checked his watch. He had taken nearly forty minutes just to write out [Force Slam]. If he had chosen anything more difficult, he really might have gone over.

They sat silently, browsing the magazines on the table as the others worked.

When the last pen was lifted, the hour was long past, and the last few to finish were more than ten minutes past the timer. But nobody stopped them, as the contest was a ’winner take all’ format, and nobody needed a half finished skill book.

They had all chosen basic warrior and mage skills. Cleave, Rend, Lightning Bolt, Magic Armour, and a copy of [Stomp] that must have had an error somewhere, as it failed to activate.

The blue dragon came out from the sitting area, where he had been waiting with Dana.

"Excellent work, everyone. We will fix the error in Stomp for the winner. Now, let’s see what the pricing chart says." He announced.

"We have one copy of Magic Armour that was finished over the time limit, as well as Stomp, which has failed to activate. So, in third place, we have Rend. Then Lightning Bolt and Magic Armour tied in value, with Lightning Bolt being completed first.

However, our winner for this round is [Force Slam], which is not currently in the store’s inventory.
