The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927 Stabilized

Matilda lost interest in the pair, now that the spectacle was over, and banished them back to the material plane, where Karl found that no time at all had passed, and the power was still flowing from his body at the rate it had been when he left.

Then, the flow reversed, as his adapted body began to suck it back in and bring the overloaded spells under control.

His body was vibrating with power, and the spaces wouldn't accept any more, but the situation had stabilized, and Karl was no longer in danger of exploding, or accidentally lashing out with an out of control skill.

Slowly, he returned to a stable state, and in the distance Lord Bomgon sighed in disappointment. That was far less spectacular than expected, and the War Champion appeared to have found a trick to deal with the overloaded energy without any of the expected outcomes.

The undead lord closed his eyes, about to turn away to take care of business, and then realized that Karl still shone like a beacon, both because of the spell he had active, and the immense amount of soul energy on his body.

Undead and spiritual beings from hundreds of kilometres away would be drawn to him, and most likely stripped bare of their power in order to fuel whatever he had done to survive the overload.

He would have to keep a close eye on that to see if it faded, or if Drodh was going to have a walking beacon of potential salvation, drawing every undead in Bomgon to him just by existing.

The demon army kept a wary distance from Karl as he descended into the clearing closer to their camp, and then dismissed the [War Banner], ending the beacon of light on his location.

The only ones that came over to him were Dana and Delilah, but the beasts could all hear what was going on through their link with Karl, and most of the team was busy with treating wounded Demons.

The ancient red dragon didn't bother to transform as she inspected Karl for damages. {It looks like you survived that well enough. It might take some time for your energy to stabilize, though. I don't know why you are holding so much power, but it might just be a matter of time before your body absorbs or releases it.

Excellent work out there, especially with that War Banner. Very impressive.} She declared.

"Thanks. The [War Banner] is a new skill, and surprisingly effective, but it will only work during a declared war. It's one of the restrictions on the banner. Still, I was startled that it didn't just spread my buffs, but all the buffs that had been applied to me across the whole battlefield.

That sort of utility seems out of place for even an Epic Skill.

It was something that formed by my skill advancement ability, merging multiple abilities." Karl explained.

That was what he was hoping to attain with the transformation of his body. The Chaos Beast Constitution skill said it removed physical limitations on development. So, in theory, he should be able to condense all that power into himself and let it settle into a state something like a dungeon boss.

Cara thought that it was a great idea.

Adapting to the excess mana was easy enough. With focus, it blended seamlessly into his body, simply increasing Karl's mana pool without the need to change his recently elevated power level. The change was gradual, but Karl was fairly certain that he could have himself and the beast spaces fully adjusted in the next few days. A week at most.

It was the excess soul energy that was the issue.

The Haint Claw and Blade of Champions had collected so much of it that it was simply impossible for him to adjust with any method that he knew.

Instead, he focused on meditation and filtering it through the golden dragon scale in his mental space. At the rate that he could process it, that would take him years or even decades to finish, but it was the only thing he knew that made any difference at all.

What he really needed was a way to store all of that excess energy until he could process and adapt to it all.
