The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 799

Karl considered using up his skill points, and quickly gave in to temptation.

{Skill Learned} [Pack First] Removes the usage and targeting limits on {Evolution} but adds an increasing materials cost every time it is used on a bonded beast.

(100 Points) [Benevolent Elder] Unbonded beasts Evolved by the Packmaster gain the ability to form a [Contract] with eligible targets before the target’s initial Class Selection

(20 Points) [Limitless] Passive Skill. Beasts Evolved by the Packmaster have an increased chance of surpassing milestones in development.

Karl stared at the options in shock. The second one was in line with what he had expected from Evolution. Evolved beasts having an easier time growing was precisely the sort of skill that you would expect.

But that [Benevolent Elder] skill? That was wild. It was like gaining the power to just directly select an advanced class for someone else. Not only that, but they would be forming a contract with an Evolved beast, with immense potential.

Everyone else noticed the faint smile on Karl’s face and waited for him to finish whatever he was doing and explain to them.

It took him a few minutes to come back to reality and realize that he had become the centre of attention.

"Ah, sorry about that. I selected a new skill after advancement. But it unlocked the path to two new skills, and one of them is incredibly interesting. Not at all what I expected." He explained, but Lotus and Dana were not going to let it go that easily.

"The skill I unlocked is one that helps me allow my beasts to Evolve and grow stronger. However, the skill that it unlocked targets beasts that I have evolved but not bonded to. It allows them to pick a partner, like the System Quest Tokens that helped create the Beast Rangers." Karl elaborated.

Lotus giggled. "So, it lets you evolve magical beasts, then let them pick a pet partner? That sounds like fun."

Karl could see that she had grand plans for this ability already.

"Only ones that don’t have their Class active yet. Sorry, Lotus."

The Nature Cleric seemed to deflate. "First it’s a shy butterfly, now a skill that won’t let me pick my own fluffy friend. Your skills are no fun at all today."

Karl shrugged. "Well, I guess they just didn’t make it with Green Dragon Clerics in mind. Or, they might have thought that you would get too focused on your new friend and forget that you were supposed to be doing Priestess type things."

The Fallen Angel bowed slightly, a motion that always caused his wings to spread, and then headed out into the streets under the watchful eyes of the City Guard.

They had seen enough trouble for one day, they didn’t want any more.

Plus, who knew what sorts of dangerous weapons an employee of a magical items shop might be carrying.

The butterfly seemed to be all in on the idea of a relaxation day, Karl realized when everyone sat down for an early meal, so the kitchen staff could clean up and call it a day.

It was enthusiastically showing him images of scenes from a book that Remi was reading, played by actors on a stage.

The book was wildly inappropriate for public consumption, but there should have been a number of proper plays and storybooks in the collection that could replace Remi’s beloved romance novels.

However, in a city full of Demons, there might actually be a market for such scandalous performances. If they were travelling in the future, little butterfly could put on a very convincing minstrel show for them, telling folk tales and acting as a bard to retell recent events in a fanciful way.

Karl could feel the butterfly considering that, then the scene in its space changed, and the romance was replaced with a flamboyant rendition of the battle at the south docks, near where it had been washed up on the beach.

Yes, that would work perfectly, Karl agreed. The realism level was incredible.
