The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 System Stones

Tessa picked the mage up to give her a spinning hug, then conveniently placed her down away from the centre of the formation and took her place. The golden light flared and seconds later the Red Dragon Priestess erupted with fire, which coalesced into battle armour, with a shield and spiked flail.

The weapon looked vicious, with five small spiked balls on chains, all engulfed in flames, but the armour was gorgeous. It was a skintight bodysuit made of red leather and dragon scales, showing off every toned muscle of the Dragon Priestess as she flexed, even though it covered her entire body, even encasing her head behind a dragon mask.

Alice was the next one in, and after she stepped away, she activated a bit of magic and a tornado began to whip through the area for a moment before being dismissed.

"I think that it is giving us all Class Skills. Perhaps our Classes aren't fully active? Or maybe we were intended to return to the System Stones on a regular schedule to learn new skills as we got more powerful. Has anyone stood on the central stone twice?" Alice asked.

Lotus nodded. "I did. I left after I chose, and then walked back to yell at Karl once I realized I could have been a dragon."

"Possibly, with an unknown but tiny chance, been a dragon." Karl corrected.

Sergeant Rita stepped onto the platform with more hesitancy, and Karl saw Lotus crossing her fingers, hoping that she might pick the random choice. It didn't look like she did, as only a few seconds later, the light had flared, and she stepped away still looking like herself.

"It gave me Warrior's Tenacity, an increase to my constitution." Rita explained as she checked the group to see who hadn't gone yet.

She was the last of the six, so the next ones up would be the Lieutenant and the Church Guard.

They all gathered around the platform in reverent silence, awed by the aura of Holy Magic that the area was giving off.

"Alright, Guard. You're up next. Pick Random." Lotus encouraged.

"It will randomize your species, gender and class." Karl warned him.

"You're no fun, you know that? He's already ugly, how could it be worse?" The nature priestess complained.

The Guard laughed and ruffled her hair as he made his way to the top of the platform.

He glowed with golden light for a moment, and then smiled as he stepped off the platform.

"It gave me the Sacred Zone spell. It slows hostile targets that enter the area, and weakens them. It's an excellent large battle defensive spell, suitable for buffing an entire battle." He explained.

Then he seemed distracted and nodded his head.

Golden light enveloped all the soldiers at once, presumably as a result of the magic recognizing them as his subordinates who he could activate the System Stones for.

For most of them, it was a short and blissful blessing, which granted them a new skill, but one soldier apparently hadn't been paying attention to Karl's warning, and where a young woman in a military uniform once stood, now stood a female Worgen in battle armour, a combination of leather and steel that left the midriff and lower legs exposed.

A very furry midriff and lower legs with an extra joint, which flexed opposite the existing knee.

"I'm... a Worgen? A Worgen Rogue?" She stammered as she realized what she had done by choosing to randomize.

Lotus ran over to examine her.
