The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 793

Karl watched the illusionary domain in the Butterfly’s space as it slept, and the others whispered encouragement to it, so it would grow up big and strong and not have a short life as Lotus’ studies said it would.

Well, most of them. Rae was whispering fun ideas to it because they influenced the dream world.

Currently, the Rae clones in the Butterfly’s world had a crystal attached to their back, from which giant butterfly wings sprouted, allowing the spiders to fly.

The Glasswing Illusion Butterfly could create solid illusions, but Karl wasn’t certain that something as large as Rae could fly in the nimble manner that she did in the dream world.

He was one hundred percent sure that it would give children nightmares, though.

Intermittently, the room would flicker with illusions as the butterfly dreamed of strange and fantastical things, based on the limited amount of the world that it had seen.

Then, an hour into its nap, just as Lotus was certain that she would finally catch the bright pink Cara which had been created in the small library, the small room transformed into a sprawling cityscape, with their mound of pillows in what looked like the tower of a castle.

There were windows all around them, and Karl could feel the breeze on his face.

The mana level in the room was nearly stifling for the others, and Karl could sense their unease, though Lotus was still happily chasing illusions around the altered room.

So, he thought he would explore a little, and see what the Illusion Domain could do.

There was only one door to the room they were in, but when Karl swung it open, he found the hallway to the Guild House outside.

Davis was speaking with a customer, the apprentices could be heard working in the shop, and the guards were chatting idly at their station outside.

Nothing about the situation said that anyone was aware of the changes that had been taking place in this room, and none of them even seemed to sense the immense amount of Overlord Rank power that was in use.

{Location Significantly Upgraded. Use Class Skill: Home} Y/N

[Home] One Time Use Skill. The Packmaster may designate a target location as their permanent home, granting various bonuses as the location is improved. The [Home] Location may be periodically changed, but never deactivated.

Karl stared at the message for a few seconds before making a decision. They were here now, and while they planned to travel, this place did belong to them. It was home, at least for the foreseeable future.

[Home] Location selected.

{Upgrade Made} Expanded Illusionary Space

{Upgrade Made} Registered Guild Shop with Guild Bank Access

{Upgrade Made} Basic Security System

{Bonuses Applied}

1 ⇒ [Improved Recall] Recall Spell will activate with a shorter delay when returning to the Home location.

2 ⇒ [Recreation] The addition of an Illusionary Space for recreation improves mana recovery within the Home location by 20%

But Cara had discovered a limitation to the spell. They couldn’t be more than seventy metres apart, or you would hit an invisible barrier, past which you couldn’t proceed.

That was the maximum radius of the spell, and while it appeared that you could explore the whole city, only a small portion of it could be active at one time.

That was a disappointment to Hawk, as his body was already considered huge. Seventy metres around himself would be fine if he was flying alone, but with others in the space, it wasn’t enough room to really even take flight.

However, with everyone else distracted by the illusion, it was a perfect excuse to sneak out for a little flight. Hawk knew that the farmers hated rodents nearly as much as Hawk liked eating them, and he had yet to sample the delicacies of this continent.

Maybe once he flew out of the city a few dozen kilometres, he would be able to find something tasty?

Karl sensed him leaving, but the guards wouldn’t hassle Hawk. He had been sitting on the roof right next to their station for the last few days, he wasn’t a stranger. They should also know that he wasn’t an invasive threat either, as he hadn’t bothered anyone in that time.

Stepping back into the room reminded Karl that he had things to do to finish the project, and he immediately turned to go back downstairs.

"Davis, do you know where we can find books, just regular books, to fill the library space upstairs? We’ve been upgrading it, and it’s feeling a bit empty."

Davis nodded, then turned to Mick. "Go fetch a runner from the gate and give them three gold for a mass book purchase from Grimoire’s Bookstore. Tell them that we don’t mind if they’re used, and we don’t mind some duplicates, we’re stocking a full library in a new Guild House."

He handed the assistant the coins from the store vault, and the Vampire ran outside with a fancy silk and lace umbrella, created by Rae to match her work uniform, and to protect her from the afternoon sun.

The uniform dress that Rae had made her, black on one side and white on the other with long sleeves and frilly skirts, was cute, but the sleeves were loose, so her arms might have been exposed, and it didn’t protect her face.
