The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1508

Chapter 1508: Under Arrest

Karl gave a faint smile as the resurrected Immortals cowered in terror at the sight of him.

That was a much better response.

Rae smirked at him, wholeheartedly agreeing. There were many things to learn about this world, but the fact that they didn’t need a body to resurrect people was a huge revelation. It must be an advantage of the Immortal Spirit.

[Karl, the power imbalance between the beasts is messing with your thoughts again.] Dana warned.

[Right. I will keep an eye on that. Just... wait patiently when we get to the court. I think that they’re going to insist on some intensive questioning.]

That thought also interested Rae. She knew pain. Everything about it, in fact.

Perhaps they had other methods of interrogation?

The flight was a short one, and Rae passed Karl a fresh set of Mythic Ranked robes, closer to the style of the locals, as they landed. They were red and black, embroidered with gold, and looked suitably impressive for a formal court hearing, she thought.

The Elders who had brought Karl and Dana to the Clan were seated behind a desk with unimpressed looks.

"Less than twenty-four hours and you’re already here? I had thought that you were a bit smarter than that."

"My apologies, Elder. It was a lapse of judgment."

The arresting Elders handed over a single sheet of paper, which lit up to project an illusionary scene when the Peak Immortal Elder tapped it.

The scene of the altercation replayed, complete with quiet voices.

The judges’ scowls turned from one member of the detained group to another, but Karl caught a slight smile when he saw Rae repeatedly stabbing the man on the ground.

"Starting with you, as you were alive for all of it. What motivated you to get involved in this idiocy?" The Elder demanded of the man with the shredded robes, where Rae’s legs had punched holes in him.

"Elder, it was just an initiation. The newbie got a load of Clan Credits from the Alchemy Elder, we just wanted to shake him down for some resources, remind him of his place in the hierarchy."

The Elder’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. "It seems that you misjudged."

"Yes, Elder. We misjudged. My injuries were the result of my own mistake."

"And you, Jin. You should know better."

"Sorry, Elder."

The arresting Elders shrugged. "In his defence, there was not much time to react and stop the escalation."

"You four, do you agree with your companion’s version of events?"

The strongest of them shook his head. "Elder, it was just a prank, we didn’t do anything, and we were brutally murdered by the newcomer."

Karl glared at him and the man whimpered in fear.

With Rae now an Immortal, his aura had gotten extra murderous, and Karl was not in a good mood at the moment, which the defeated Immortal was playing up, to make himself look like the victim.

The other three nodded in agreement. "Elder, it was completely uncalled for. Hazing new arrivals is a time-honoured tradition. Violence is prohibited outside the Arena. We certainly wouldn’t have done anything violent."

The elder watched the video again, then turned to Karl. "You claim they attacked, but I don’t see them taking any violent actions."
