The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423 High Traffic Area

Once the mages from Witry were gone, the young Drake Riders came out from the building with excited smiles on their faces. Six of the ten had made it to Commander Rank, and Karl knew that they would all have at least one or two new pieces of equipment going back with them.

The dungeon was an excellent source of resources for the Commander Rank, with some Ascended items being possible from the Ogres on the way to the bosses, along with the coins.

That was the tradeoff. They had to pay to enter, but they got something in return that may or may not have been worth more than what they paid. Realistically, the experience alone was worth quite a bit, as the dungeon was a controlled environment, where you could send specific fighters without surprises.

The Drake Rider Overlords made a sharp whistle, and the younger Riders gave Johann and the other Overlords a sharp salute. Then they ran to their mounts, and in one smooth movement, they were aloft, soaring up into the sky on the wave of warmer air blowing over the tree line.

"It's always creepy when they do that." Johann complained.

"Do what?" Karl asked.

That mount and takeoff had been textbook perfect. It was like they were doing a synchronized gymnastics routine. Karl didn't see anything creepy about it at all.

The Knight gave Karl a confused look. "Vanish. It's creepy when they vanish like that."

Karl turned and watched them fly away for a few seconds before he realized that it was just echolocation and thermal imaging that still saw them.

"Oh. Sorry, I can still see them, so I didn't realize they did a thing."

Niall smiled and shook his head. "Your senses really are insane. But to think that you could see through invisibility cast at the Overlord Rank."

Karl shrugged. "It hides the visual image of them, but not the thermal image, or their radar signature, for lack of a better word. The echolocation that Rae uses to see in perfect darkness, along with her heat sight."

Ahmad sighed. "Lazy bastard. It's not invisibility. He cast lesser concealment, assuming that we wouldn't be able to track him either way. A proper invisibility spell would hide him from thermal imaging and radar, at least conventional radar."

[Tell him I want that spell.]

"I don't suppose that you could spare a copy of that spell for a particular Princess who thinks Shadow Step isn't sneaky enough for her." Karl suggested.

"If I could turn that into a spell book, every mage in the nation would be trying to learn it right now. Unfortunately, I cannot. But she really does dream of becoming a nightmare for other species, doesn't she?"

Karl smiled and nodded. "You should see it, it is adorable. Her legs make happy little chasing motions when she's dreaming of hunting them down."

"Because that's not terrifying at all." Bob mumbled from somewhere behind Karl.

Johann gave him a curious look, and Karl chuckled. "Bob here isn't the biggest fan of arachnids. Even when they're huge and furry and cuddly with razor legs and definitely not venomous mandibles."

"You're not helping."
