The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Leftovers

The Lamia was about to say something, but Karl was already gone. Rae used [Shadow Step] and a length of silk to drag him with her into the trees, then a second step to where Hawk had found the Bandits.

The group turned to stare at Karl, who had appeared alone next to their camp, and began to slowly get to their feet, brandishing weapons.

"I have some good news and some bad news for you." Karl informed them.

"Oh, you think you have good news for us, do you?" An aging bandit informed him with a smirk.

The man looked at least half Ogre, and smelled far worse, but that could have something to do with whatever it was that they were cooking. It smelled of rot and vomit, and Karl was becoming certain that he was about to do these bandits a favour.

Karl nodded at him. "The good news is that none of you have to go to work tomorrow."

The bandits began to laugh and circle Karl, who still didn't have a weapon in his hands.

"And what is the bad news?" "I forgot to ask that lovely young lady how much she was willing to pay for your stinking carcasses."

Karl called the team out, and Remi got things started with a [Thunderstorm] that had Hawk immediately complaining about her poor decision-making skills.

He had his [Wind Barrier] up to stay dry, but he didn't love water magic any more just because it was his little sister using it. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

Remi's lone bodyguard hit the leaders with a Tsunami, while Karl followed it with a flurry of [Chain Lightning] enhanced arrows.

He hadn't had his bow out in a while, but all the bandits were running as soon as Remi and Rae appeared. They didn't even seem to see Cara until someone nearly stepped on her and the Void Badger flew into a rage, tearing everything apart.

Not even the trees were safe from her wrath. Rae was herding bandits toward Cara with her webs and golems, while Remi and her bodyguard focused on the core area.

Karl called out the two Lamia bodyguards, and let them loose on the camp.

It was over in under a minute, leaving only one dome of silk, and a lot of blood after Rae picked up the bodies.

"What is in there? Snacks for later?" Karl asked Rae.

[Small creatures. They weren't fighting, and I didn't know what to do with them.]

"Bring them back with us. Toss up a rock or two and we can shadow step." Karl suggested.

Instead, Rae made him a blanket and passed Karl the bag. With both on her back, she was covered enough to Shadow Step.

Remi retreated to her space, and Cara sniffed around the camp for a minute before realizing there was nothing worth taking.

Not even roast meat.

She returned to her space empty-handed, and Karl hopped back toward the wagon, with Rae's help.

She returned to her space, and Karl jogged the last dozen metres to the waiting group with the bag full of children dragging behind him.

That was a minor oversight. When they were on Rae's back, it was fine, but he shouldn't bump them along the ground like that.

"I don't suppose that you have an Orphan collection program, do you? I've got a bunch of them from the valley." Karl asked as he approached.

"Pardon?" The closest guard asked, confused.
