The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167: Road Trip Pre Honeymoon

As the beasts finished their argument about who should go, Azov was preparing to finish his drink and head out to meet with more dignitaries.

"When do we need to leave?" Dana asked.

"Well, you’ve got everyone you need here with you now, so I will just open a portal from the table. Don’t worry, Karl should know where you are when you arrive." Matilda explained.

Then they were falling through the air.

Hawk laughed as he came out of his space, and even Cara came out to play as Karl transformed into the World Dragon Avatar, and Dana used [Cloud Dancing], one of her newer movement skills, to fly.

Karl flew under her, and Dana settled between his shoulders as Karl circled to get his bearings and see if there was anything here that might give him some idea where Matilda had put them, or why they had started thousands of metres in the air.

They were over the ocean, he realized. Then Karl saw the small port city with the naval fleet guarding the bay.

It wasn’t a big city, perhaps fifteen or twenty thousand people. But big enough, given the primitive level of society that he could see.

The mana here was incredibly dense, but Karl only sensed the most basic of magic from the city, despite seeing multiple species that should be able to use some level of magic innately.

[I am going to scout.] Hawk announced, then activated Lord Of Destruction, as the ethereal form increased his speed.

After a few minutes of lazy circling, Cara landed on Karl’s back, and he decided they had surveyed long enough. Hawk would bring back more reports in a few minutes, and there was a city beneath them where they could ask questions.

"Land outside the city. Remember what Matilda said about feral dragons?" Dana reminded him as Karl headed for shore.

Karl nodded, and circled down to land a kilometre outside the city limits before transforming back into Beast Form, his customary Cat Demon appearance.

Dana returned to human, just in case there were issues with her being a fox here as well, and Cara returned to her space.

She was sure that this reception needed popcorn. Or it was about to.

Karl and Dana walked to the gates of the wooden walled port city, where a pair of guards with spears and terrified faces blocked their way.

"Only the mightiest of warriors my enter Kapchor Clan’s fortress." The Guard insisted.

Karl frowned, and then activated his rarely useful [Dominating Power], and used it to drive every guard at the gate to their knees before him.

[Dominating Power] The Pack Master’s Aura gains a {Mental Domination} effect at will, requiring weaker minds to submit to his will. Hypnosis type ability.

"Now, that’s a properly respectful way to greet guests. I had worried that I might encounter someone without manners." He informed them with a feline smile.

Rapid hoof steps on stone roads marked the approach of an Overlord Ranked Wrath Demon, holding an axe in each hand.

"Who is bullying my guards?" He demanded.

"They’re just being polite. Don’t take it too much to heart." Karl joked.

"A puny man like you?" The Demon demanded.

Dana sighed. Karl was definitely up to something, and getting into a fist fight with a five-metre tall Wrath Demon was not the point of his experiment. Especially not one that was still at the Overlord Rank. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Karl activated [Brutality] which made the two of them roughly the same size, though Karl was still more slender in build.

Then he changed to a pair of loose pants for easier movement and nodded to the confused Demon. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"How did you do that?" He asked.

"Magic, of course. Don’t worry about it for now. Spar first, learn later." Karl replied.

That was solid logic in the mind of a Wrath Demon, and the town Lord dropped his axe to charge at Karl barehanded.

He threw a brutal punch, which Karl casually caught, and then used as leverage to toss the Demon away and flip him on his back.

The City Lord flared his wings and landed on his feet, then charged again, using short fast jabs now that he knew he couldn’t overpower Karl with raw strength.

Karl let him go for a few minutes, remaining on the defence.

Then, he counterattacked, landing a single hard blow in the middle of the Demon’s chest that shattered bone and sent him skidding across the sandy ground.

The Wrath Demon spit blood as he got back to his feet.

"No wonder you became a City Lord. You have power in your fists." The Wrath Demon commended.

Karl smiled. "Thank you. Let me heal that injury, and we can talk about what I truly came here for."
