The First Legendary Beast Master -
Chapter 1291: Announce Your Presence
The suburbs near the day’s Dungeon were much more peaceful than the city centre, where the Nara Group Alliance’s house and the Arena were.
Here, there were acreages, towers with expansive gardens, and estates that showed off the power of the Mythic Rank Guild Leaders, but without the crowds of the city. It was almost peaceful, if you could ignore the power emanating from every direction.
It wasn’t anything that would bother Karl or Dana at Mythic Rank, but certainly different from the common practice in the city, where everyone restrained their auras unless they were in an argument. Out here, they used the aura to show off their status. Even the white dragon let his aura loose as soon as they exited the portal.
He gave Karl and Dana an odd look as they followed behind.
“Are you not going to announce your presence?” He asked.
Dana smirked as Karl let loose his aura, a disturbing presence that combined predatory danger with the unnatural ‘otherness’ of Chaos. The feeling made the dragon frown, and everyone nearby turn to look at them.
Karl’s aura was not the warm and welcoming sort of aura that most Guild Masters had. Guild Leaders usually had a presence that would draw people to them. But Karl’s aura felt more like a declaration of war until he muted it to a third of its usual intensity, and it just felt bestial and confident.
“I see what the problem is. Your aura is too intense. I take it that you don’t do much recruiting?” The dragon asked.
Karl shrugged. “I am good at recruitment. I just don’t try to impress them with my aura. If we need that, I have a Dana Mage.”
Dana let a bit more of her aura slip, the gentle and alluring aura of a Divine Fox, coupled with the crackling intensity of a powerful mage.
“Oh, yes. That is much better for recruitment. No wonder the blue dragons flock to you, such an interesting couple. But the Dungeon is right here, we can enter at will.”
The crowd chatting near the dungeon entrance parted as Karl approached, then began to gossip as they saw who was with him.
“Oh? It looks like the fool found someone to test his theory. Do you think that they can even survive?” One of the bystanders whispered, not quite low enough that Karl and Dana couldn’t hear him.
“Didn’t you sense his aura. That man is terrifying. The intimidation effect of the Fallen Seraphim won’t mean anything if he’s immune to it. That might be what they’re planning.” Another whispered back.
Karl smiled, realizing that the major issue with the dungeon was an effect that he was immune to.
With his resistance, even without adding buffs, it was nearly impossible to intimidate him. And if he activated an intimidation effect of his own, or had Rae active, then the two would counteract each other.
They had this one in the bag.
Karl checked that he was the group leader before stepping inside the dungeon, only to be met with a most interesting message. {Group Size Invalid. Split Group into a Solo and a Duo Challenge?}
The dragon looked shocked, while Dana smiled. “It looks like we get our wish. New dungeon time it is. You go solo, I will take our new friend through the duo challenge.” She suggested.
“Are you sure that is wise? It might not make the dungeon easier just because it’s a smaller group.” The cleric stammered.
“It most certainly won’t. In fact, it might increase it. But I am confident that with a healer at my side, I can take on the challenge. Though I might be the better-looking half of our relationship, I’m no slouch in combat.” Dana joked.
[Tian is fluffier.] Cara informed her.
Dana rolled her eyes at the badger’s mental teasing. “If you’re sure…” The Cleric slowly agreed.
“Then it’s done. System, I will go solo, they will do the duo challenge.” Karl announced.
Then, he was alone in the Dungeon, looking out at a hellscape of scorched buildings, boiling pits that appeared to be full of blood, and black winged Seraphim.
{Rewards Degrade Every 10 Minutes} {Begin}
Karl called out the whole team, and Rae immediately began to celebrate. These pits really were full of boiling Mythic Ranked blood. Both Light and Dark element. It was like a hot spring resort in here.
If you were a Bloodbath Spider.
She called out her Golems and Undead Army, while Karl called all his summons, choosing Carnage as his Epic Golems. The big Demon would be a great choice for fighting Fallen Seraphim, and he didn’t object to having Cara sit on his shoulder as he charged into combat. She was like a furry chaotic mascot, who would fly off to find him more things to fight.
[You’re going to have to run, or he’s going to get away from you.] Remi laughed from her alchemy lab.
Indeed, Carnage didn’t need directions, he knew just what to do in this situation.
Kill everything that moved.
The dungeon monsters looked horrified as the pair of massive Demons charged at them with two dozen Spectral Knights behind them, and a small army of Golems struggling to keep up.
“I need to make a new bow.” Karl realized.
There were so many summoned beasts now that it was nearly impossible to get into close combat. Even Rae had taken her team and gone ahead to get more monsters to fight, as they couldn’t all fight in one spot.
So, Karl focused on [Frozen Apocalypse], to bypass the fire damage reduction that the Fallen Seraphim had.
Hawk appeared from his space, and flew off to the side, inspecting the flaming stones and the bubbling blood pools, while collecting samples for Rae.
He might not be Mythic yet, but he could still help his sister, so she didn’t have to take time out from fighting.
However, there was something about this place. A feeling of rightness. There was fire, but not pure fire. Fire with a little something extra, and that extra was calling to Hawk on a primal level.
