The First Legendary Beast Master

The Lich Lord stared blankly at his empty hand, unable to comprehend what had just happened to him.

Then, the Void Blast hit his chest and his corporeal body was disintegrated, returning his soul to his phylactery even as the other two Totems immediately fled the battlefield.

That was a sure kill item, procured for them directly by Lord Bomgon, and certain to do enough damage to bypass the damage reduction of even the Monster Man of Drodh. They came here knowing that he was nothing ordinary, and that he had beasts to support him, but the threat was on a whole other level.

If they were going to eliminate him, it was going to take a Mythic Rank team leader.

The problem with that was that you couldn’t just move a Mythic Ranked asset around the continent without a good reason or some preparation. Even in a region as unstable as Gabil, they would attract far too much attention.

Worse, the Monster Man was rumoured to be connected to the Chaos Dragon.

If those two monsters started openly working together, nobody could stop them from doing whatever they pleased.

There weren’t more than a few dozen Immortals living full-time in the Dragon Isles. Most of them moved to the Immortal Realm and only came home to visit every few years when they recruited promising candidates for their Clans in the Immortal realm, or were called upon by their families.

The mana here was getting stronger, but the Immortal Realm was already strong enough to support steady growth to the Demigod level if you could manage to stay in the most desirable regions.

Meanwhile, in the Grand Palace of Homorvi, the Capital building of Bomgon, the newly reformed Lich Lord stared at the Lord of Bomgon with pure terror in his eyes.

“Let me get this clear. You brought ten Totems, with their armies of undead, and you failed to kill even one member of the Monster Man’s team? Did you even manage to kill any of the Orcs that they were standing beside?

Perhaps you managed to eliminate some burrowing rodents that were nearby?” The Lord asked in an emotionless tone that sent chills through the Lich Lord’s spine.

There was soft laughter from the nearby Nobles, and Lord Bomgon turned his attention to the Seer.

“Care to elaborate, what is so funny?”

The blind vampire woman smiled in his direction. “They certainly killed more than one underground rodent. I have seen it. The aftermath of the battle between the Bone Dragon and the Avatar of the World Dragon obliterated the battlefield for nearly a square kilometre.

Soon, there will be a new watering hole where the battle raged, as the crater formed by the battle between them is fifty metres deep.”

The Undead Lords shook their heads in dismay. Seers were always a bit off, as they lived the world through visions, without their natural sight. But that one in particular was ancient, and long since tired of living, so she had no fear of retribution for her attitude.

Whoever thought that turning a cursed Seer into a Vampire was a brilliant idea had a sick sense of humour.

“Did the army manage to kill anyone at all? A single sentient being?” Lord Bomgon asked.

He had a faint smile on his face that terrified his Lords, but the Seer could only go by the dry monotone that he asked the question with.

“No. The only sentient casualties were our Totems. Though, we did recover most of the corpses, so you could say that there were no permanent casualties, except the bone dragon. The Monster Man stole its core gem before it could be recovered.

As far as the group accompanying him goes, forget having killed any of them. None of them sustained any injuries. Perhaps they are immortal? I don’t know, they simply don’t get injured when they are hit.

You should invite them here.

It might make the court a bit less insufferable if we let him rampage in the Palace.”

Lord Drodh actually laughed, and the majority of the Undead Lords knelt and bowed before what they assumed was his rage.

“You don’t get to die that easily, old woman.

Besides, even if I brought him here, he has an uncanny connection to the Chaos Realm, and he would most likely just ignore your presence.

But it appears that his trip has granted him far more than expected. Advisor Fell, inform the Generals to focus on the coastal regions. If the World Dragon had left his treasures in the core of the nation, the Avatar would have found them by now.

Now, get out of my throne room. All of you.”

Once the throne room was empty, Lord Bomgon turned to the Seer, who was still standing in her position, lost in a vision.

Once she returned to the present, Lord Bomgon cleared his throat.

“What did you see?”

“The end of the last resurgence. I know where the System Stones were then, but they are not there now. The Temple is gone.” She replied casually.

“Destroyed?” Lord Bomgon asked.

“No, simply gone. I didn’t see where it went, but not so much as a stone remains in the region. It was indeed where the Monster Man of Drodh was standing. You weren’t wrong to send the Army after him right there. It was simply a few thousand years too late.”

Then, she turned and left as Lord Bomgon considered the possibilities.

The God of Death had never failed him in all the years of his life. But against this particular pest, nothing worked quite right. He suspected that it was interference from the Chaos Element, what many would call ‘Luck’.

But as he searched through his memories, Lord Bomgon knew exactly where the Seer had seen the battle take place. He had been there before, a few centuries after the System failed, and there was indeed a Temple at that exact spot. One run by an old crone from the Supreme Lady’s Guild. However, he didn’t recall there being System Stones there.

Perhaps she had taken them before he had arrived?

He might need to change his tactics. If he was going to find the method to alter the System and exclude the food species and chattel from the System, he couldn’t keep relying on the advice of the Gods.

The God of the Underworld wasn’t the only one willing to manipulate probability, and the most likely locations always had others on ‘Unrelated Missions’ set by the other Gods present. The other Gods might not want him to find the System Stones, but he would find a way to obtain them without relying on the advice of the Gods.

He just needed more time.
