The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Loot Goblins

The loot chest appeared again, and the system information flickered in front of Karl's eyes a bit more clearly.

[Gained 1 Skill Point] First Dungeon Clearance bonus.

So, he wouldn't be able to farm as many skill points as he wanted by simply returning here every time he was able. That was a bit sad, but he supposed that Skill Points shouldn't be too easy to get if they were a reward.

Inside the chest was a similar assortment of items to the first boss, but no book, and unfortunately no staff either.

However, there was a gem of Elemental Power that Remi was quite excited about when she took it in her mouth and sent it to her space.

[I need that for making a new Totem], she explained.

[Well, we won't refuse you the loot. You're the one most suited to it.]

None of the other items were something that they needed, so they were loaded into Thor's bags, and the Golems took over again as Ophelia transformed to talk to Karl.

"I think I'm really getting the hang of fighting on four feet. At first, it was strange, as I'm used to being upright in Werebear form, but with a bit of practice, I think this will be just as effective. I'm going to need to learn a few more ranged skills, though. Everything I specialized in applies to my weapons or body. But if I'm mostly using one paw at a time, it would be better to have some range when things try to run." She explained.

Karl nodded. "I will make you a [Rend] book later. As a bear, you are almost guaranteed to be able to use that. But you have [Rake] now, right? That's got a bit of range."

"Yeah, about three metres. It's good enough in melee combat, but chasing things that are running away is annoying." Rae laughed in Karl's mind. She also hated it when enemies ran away on her. Thor liked to chase them, and Hawk didn't have to, but she disliked all the extra effort when the target was just going to die anyhow.

It should at least have some dignity and not annoy her in the process.

Rend was a simple skill to make, as he knew it well enough. So, Karl made the book as they walked along after the Golems, who were showing off for the data man. Their enthusiasm brought the group to the final boss, a massive Ogre Lord in tarnished golden armour, the one that the Golems had brought out last night.

"Wait, Rae, don't send the Golems after that. The other group was hoping to recover the armour. I don't know if the body will stay, as this is now a dungeon. It likely won't, but some of it might be in the reward pile if we don't destroy it." Karl cautioned.

"You're going to deal with it personally?" The researcher asked as he prepared his recording devices.

"Yeah, I will sort it out." Karl agreed as he hefted his maul onto his shoulder.

The Ogre Lord sneered at Karl and hurled a boulder at him as Karl approached, but it simply shattered on [Refreshing Lightning], and Karl darted forward, swinging upward with five stacks of [Flaming Body] set to project out from his weapon.

The strike landed squarely between the beast's legs, and Karl saw the others flinch in sympathy as the Ogre Lord was lifted off the ground.

Then the flames of the ability came jetting out of his mouth as his body was cored by the skill.

The remains and the armour fell to the ground in a heap, then vanished to be replaced by a large golden chest, nearly a metre tall and three metres wide.

That was much larger than the others, but not so ridiculous as the reward chest in the trial.

[Gained 2 Skill Points] First Dungeon Clearance Bonus.

Karl had been looking forward to that, but the image in front of his eyes slowly cleared.

[System Rebooting. Interface Temporarily Unavailable.]

Karl took that as a good thing. Maybe he would be able to get additional information, or even more benefits, once the System was rebooted. If the system was fully active for him and the other Elites, the Golden Dragon Nation would gain the sort of benefit that hadn't been seen in generations.

Words appeared in the air above the boss. [Calculating Rewards.]

The researcher stared at them in shock. "Do you see that? What the hell is that? I've never seen anything like it."

Karl gave him a confused look for a moment before realizing that he wasn't an Elite.

"That is normal for Trials and other Instances. It's how the System informed people of important events and rewards. Give it a moment, and everyone here should get something." He explained.

[Updating rewards. Level 0 member detected.]

"Ooh, I can pick a random reward." The researcher mumbled, and before anyone could stop him, his uniform was gone, and he was standing in front of them in tight black leather pants and a pink floral shirt.

"What the ever-loving fuck?" He shouted, dropping his backpack full of expensive diagnostic equipment to check himself.

"Hey, calm down, it's a system reward. What did it say, and what did you pick?"

The researcher was clearly in shock as Karl grabbed him and shook him.

"Get yourself together. What did it say and what did you pick?"

The man blinked slowly as his brain stopped rattling in his head.

"It said 'would you like to randomize'? And I picked yes, and now it tells me that I am a Grand Sage, and I gain bonus starting power for every day that I remained a virgin."
