The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 More Fire

The presence of additional people didn't slow them down, though.

"So, I hear that you agreed to try to make Ahmad a new skill. Do you think that it will be able to adapt to his level? Finding skills that don't cap out at Royal Rank or lower has been one of the hardest parts of trying to advance." Overlord Johann asked in a jovial voice.

"This one is somewhat special. I think it should be able to adapt enough to match up with an Overlord Rank mage, but it was a bit of a nightmare attempting to find one who could actually use it. The chances of just stumbling across one, and such a powerful one, are crazy." Karl joked.

Hawk had all the materials that he would need already prepared and waiting for Karl, and he dropped them on the table as he was speaking, so that Karl couldn't back out now.

One way or another, he was going to make that book.

Karl smiled at the angry bird's insistence on spreading fire skills, and started to work. The [Flaming Body] skill took much longer than the warrior skills to write out, but there was a whole table full of baked goods in front of him, and Karl only needed one hand to write with.

"The Inscriptionists would cry if they saw your skill book creation process." Overlord Ahmad laughed.

"Yeah, I don't usually snack while working, as I don't want to get crumbs on the book, but it's too good to miss out on."

The mage shook his head. "No, I meant that they need intense focus, constant mana transfer and multiple reagents to create the book."

"Oh, that makes sense. I can do the mana transfer easily enough, but Hawk made the ink for the book before he put it on the table. There are five different Fire Elemental ingredients mixed in there, blended with his Royal Rank fire and my spiritual energy.

I might not be an Inscriptionist type class, but I am still a Royal." Karl slowly finished the text, and with a final surge of mana, it formed into a deep red tome that seemed to flicker with flames under the surface. It was locked with a golden strap, and the design was absolutely exquisite.

"This is a thing of beauty. Does the Library have one yet?" Overlord Ahmad asked.

"No, they said to hold off for now, as the restrictions on the book are so extreme. Hopefully, you will be able to use it, I think that you meet all the requirements."

The Mage crossed his fingers for luck and carefully opened the latch on the book. "So far, so good. It let me look at it." He breathed.

Then he flipped open the cover, and a surge of red light flooded from the book and surrounded his body as the book slowly vanished.

It looked like it was working properly, Karl thought. At least for the first few seconds.

Then a gust of magic blew back Ahmad's hood, allowing fluffy cat ears to poke free as the fur changed to a deep flaming orange and red along with his hair.

Power poured from the Overlord as the [Flaming Body] spell took effect, and his eyes glowed bright crimson, then a deep red shine settled in over him, and Ahmad smiled.

"It works. Overlord Rank Defensive Skill, Flaming Body." He gasped, still shocked, even though he was the one using it.

"It's not just defensive. You can use it to coat weapons to attack, and with practice, you should be able to use it to enhance your fire attacks." Karl explained.
