The First Legendary Beast Master-Chapter 988: Wine Or Potions

Rae was in a glorious mood now that she had fulfilled her promise to Sybil.

There were also many upcoming battles with the strange rhino things, and they were fun to pick on. But the real moment of glory came from Remi.

[You know, making wine is a bit like making potions. I bet that I could brew you some blood wine out of that if you think it smells good. Just put it in one of these large jars and I will get it started.] Remi offered.

[How long will it take?] Rae asked hopefully.

[According to the book, it takes a month for wine to be ready. I don't know if blood wine is the same, but it should be something like that. Then it can be aged to mellow the flavour. If you have enough, I have an empty ale keg in here, and we can age it in the charred wood like a fine liquor.]

Rae thought about that. A smoky, woody flavour might be nice.

[Let's do it. I've got enough bodies for a barrel already.]

With so much to do, researching blood wine, crafting the first batch, and trying to balance the flavours while guessing what both Rae and Mick would like, Remi sat out the next battle, and just sent her bodyguards to help out on her behalf.

There were only like fifty of the monsters anyhow. Five on one was easy work for the team.

The monsters had been out of the spawn area for quite a while, and they had mostly split up into smaller groups. So, while there were hundreds or thousands of them in the area, they only had to fight a few dozen at a time.

The real question was: Where did they come in from? Normally, a number of monsters would stay near the anomaly, and there was a chance that the anomaly would produce more of them over time if it didn't destabilize. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Tessa hopped up onto the bench beside Karl. "Why don't we switch? I will watch Thor and you can rest."

Karl smiled. "Alright. I need to meditate and work on my power level. Enjoy your ride. Just remind Thor that he has to alert the rest of us if there is trouble."

Then, he went to the [Tiny World] where everyone else was relaxing, and settled into one of Rae's hammock swings to work on his power growth.

Dana came over to join him, and the two spent the rest of the day side by side, focused on growing their power.

Karl wasn't sure if he should move beyond the stage of the mental formations that he was on right now. The dragon visualization had worked so well that he didn't want to mess it up when he was so close to the Totem Ranked advancement.

His power was right on the border between Ranks now, and if he had a Totem Ranked repository of power, he could purge his power again and step right through. But he didn't have one, so he was working on condensing the power in his body, hoping to force a quality advancement.

After the prolonged battle with Tiffani, the Totem Ranked Vampire, Karl knew just what the power should feel like. He just couldn't quite get it right in practice.

However, leaning against Karl as he worked was an incredible benefit to Dana. Not just because she could use his power as a guideline to help advance her own, but because the process of trying to advance his power caused a small amount of power to leak, so there was more ambient mana in the area when he was meditating.

As the afternoon faded to night, Dana realized that there was something distinctly different about Karl's current physical status. Not only was his mana pool enormous, but his presence gave a feeling of otherness.

When you stood near a powerful being that was hiding its nature, there was usually some indication, and Karl gave that same sense, but she knew that he was still an Overlord. So, it had to be something related to that silver bracket that appeared around his name after the last trial.

Nobody seemed to know for sure what it meant, or it wasn't visible to everyone that they met. But Dana's suspicion was that Karl really had managed to evolve himself into the living equivalent of a dungeon boss.

They had red icons at their names in the system, but if they weren't hostile, wouldn't it be possible that their name markers were the same as his?

She had completely lost track of time until Remi came to shake the two of them out of their trance.

"It's time to get up. Thor found the 7th Narazir Regiment, and they've missions." She instructed.

"Missions? That sounds interesting." Dana agreed as she stretched, then flopped back against Karl.

He chuckled and put an arm behind her thighs to pick her up and carry her on his hip.

"Alright, let's go see what the Dwarves have in mind for missions."

The General laughed as he saw the furry white demon come out of the carriage with a much smaller, apparently human, mage on his hip.

Karl set Dana down once they were out of the wagon and went over to greet the Totem Ranked Dwarf.

"My people tell me that you have some missions available to help with the clearance of the excess monsters and related issues." Karl greeted him, skipping the formalities.

"Indeed. What sort do you prefer? Combat, rebuilding, supply runs, or did you have something else in mind?" The General agreed.

"I think Combat is about right for our group. We do enjoy a good fight now and then. Plus, the black dragon asked her Cleric to come here and help with the overpopulation issues." Karl explained.

"In that case, I have exactly the sort of missions that you would enjoy. Come with me to the command tent and I will explain the situation."

The General turned to leave, and the officers nearby motioned for everyone to join him, not just Karl.

That was unusual. Normally, they would want to keep people out of the Command area, so only one would be allowed to accompany the General.
