The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 2011

Chapter 2011: Pick A Difficulty

Karl led the group inside, taking note of who was in their spaces.

Hawk was resting in his usual branch, and Remi was working on a new recipe in her swamp, as the labs in the Tiny World and the Guild House were both working on products for sale. Everyone else was busy with something, and even Cara hadn’t snuck back in to cause chaos at the last moment.

The moment that the whole group was inside the dungeon, a message appeared.

{Please select your difficulty level between 1 and 5}

Karl looked at the group. "This is all on you. I’m good with any of the options, but I can’t guarantee that some of you won’t get one shot killed on the highest difficulties."

"They’re that bad?"

Karl nodded. "Maximum difficulty is no joke. But the rewards should be equally impressive. The System is in charge of them, and it tends to reward feats of strength very well."

The group quietly conferred for a second, then came to Karl for verification.

"So, if we consider 1 to be easy mode, and 5 to be hell mode, then 3 should be hard, right? With 2 being average or normal?"

Karl nodded. "That sounds about right. The first two are the ones that it expects nearly everyone to be able to do. Three gets actually challenging if you don’t have the right group, and in five, you need to be able to adapt to nearly anything, or so overpowered that you just steamroll the dungeon."

That confirmed their assessment. Five definitely wasn’t a setting that they wanted to try. And they were relying on Karl for basically everything but damage, as their designated "tank" wasn’t actually specialized in defence.

"Let’s go with three. Difficulty three should be good."

{Difficulty 3 selected. Generating Opponents.}

The dungeon filled with Plague Demons, and Karl smiled as he realized that he was going to get some new Epic Golem summons out of this one.

Not cute ones, that was for sure, but likely unique.

"So, what makes you so confident that you can do any role? I see what we’re up against, and those demons are incredibly durable. We’ve got decent damage, but they’re going to do a lot of poison damage as well, that will need to be cleansed."

Karl nodded. "I will send you a few front-line assistants, and then we can go. Do you prefer fast-moving or high damage per hit?"

One of the Clan Leaders chuckled. "Caster’s call. Whatever you think will be best."

Karl nodded, and then cast [Epic Golem] to create a pair of Carnage demons.

Following that, Karl added his regular and [Greater Golems] giving them a total of six for the front lines. That was enough to impress the entire group, given the power level of the Epic Golems.

Then, he followed it with just two Dryads from the [Army of Nature’s Vengeance] spell, and nodded toward the first group.
