The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Cara

Karl set a bit of Commander Rank monster meat on the ground in front of the beast, but slightly off to one side, so he could see if it was going to adjust course.

For the first time since Hawk had spotted it, the beast paused, as if sniffing at the food, then continued along its way.

But Karl had many tricks to lure beasts to him. He extended [Flaming Body] and roasted the piece of meat, to let the wind waft the scent toward the slowly moving creature.

It immediately doubled back, leaping into the air to show that the barrier extended below it to make a full sphere, then opened slightly to allow the food to safely enter without being destroyed.

Karl cut and roasted another piece, and tossed it between the beast and himself.

This time it didn't jump, but ran to the spot. [It must be a new friend for Hawk, the way it loves to eat.] Thor joked.

Karl chuckled and prepared a few more pieces, tossing them progressively closer, but holding the last one in his hand.

The creature accelerated as it snapped up the food, then stopped right in front of Karl. It bounced a few times, as if demanding the last bite, before he dropped it toward what he assumed was a waiting mouth.

The black barrier dissipated as the food fell, revealing what looked like an average Honey Badger.

That was not at all what Karl was expecting.

But when he roasted another bit of meat in his hand, thin wings, a fleshy membrane like bat wings, extended from under the protective fur on its back, and with a flap, it was snagging the food from Karl's hand so fast it wasn't even finished cooking yet.

The beast gave a strange expression as it landed with the half roasted meat in its mouth, then swallowed and looked up at Karl.

[Meat?] He heard a gentle girlish voice ask in his mind.

Karl nodded. "You have to be patient, it takes a few seconds to cook."

[What is a cook? MEAT!] It pleaded.

Karl roasted the meat and handed a much larger piece to the badger, which it promptly used its black energy skill to cut into small cubes that it ate with a dainty claw, now that there was enough food that it wasn't worried about starvation.

That must have been why it was unconcerned and sluggish before. It was just hungry and stumbling along looking for something to eat, or lost in daydreams of food.

Orcs didn't look tasty, and the creature seemed to prefer roasted meat to raw, but didn't appear to have any fire skills of its own, as it didn't know what cooked was.

Once the food was finished, it established a large black dome over both itself and Karl, and promptly went to sleep. Karl had the food, so he couldn't be allowed to escape.

Karl shook his head at the logic of the small creature, and stroked the top of her head, before focusing on the spare space and transferring her in.

[Quest Complete: The Perfect Pet] [Calculating]

Calculating what, Karl had no idea. He had finished the quest, he had his reward sleeping soundly in his newest beast space, and she was powerful.
