The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 With The Avatars

Karl sat in stunned silence as the Black Dragon Goddess' Avatar finished her story. He was still a bit shocked to be in the presence of the representatives of the Gods of War and Death, and then to be told that the hubris of the world's most powerful had been the downfall of the entire world, he couldn't process it all that quickly.

"So, once upon a time, everyone were Elites, even those of the other species, and it all ended because someone thought that they could take on the World Dragon?" Karl requested, desperately trying to make sense of the situation.

The Red robed man nodded grimly. "Foolish notion that. Nobody ever wins those challenges. But you are correct that every species on this world once had the full powers of the System on their side. Even the beastkin, though some of them insist they were actually cursed by the World Dragon to be used by others as good luck charms."

Karl chuckled at the notion. How would a beastkin be a good luck charm? Were they like a Holy Stone, and granted a luck buff if you held them? He supposed that wasn't impossible if the Gods were getting directly involved in the lives of the people.

"What if I can't activate the Ancient System, and I just am what I am, a Beast Master, with the ability to grow and learn skills like every other Elite?" Karl asked.

The Red Dragon Avatar shrugged. "Then I wish you the best of luck becoming the most powerful Elite in the world. I have no idea if it's possible, but the path of the Divine Beasts is a good one. In the ancient legends, there was a hero with the Beast Lord class, though they summoned their beasts instead of bonding living ones.

I have never heard of a Class like yours, but I would pay particular attention to the children of the Green Dragon. They are the God of Beasts who don't have their own Deities, so they will eventually take interest in you as well."

"They?" Karl asked.

The man frowned. "It's a tricky question. Nobody really knows if the Green Dragon is a female who uses Divine Power to fertilize her eggs, or a male who uses Divine Power to create the eggs he fertilizes. What we do know is that there is no other involved in the process of creating Green Dragon Demigods, and if they know, they're not telling."

All this talk of Gods and ancient treachery was giving Karl a headache. Even if he knew some of the answers now, there was nothing that he could do about it except possibly tell someone who would write it down so it wasn't forgotten again.

The black robed woman opened a portal on the wall behind them, and nodded toward the Red Dragon Avatar.

"It seems that our time is up, and we must run to another duty. Thank you for your time, and you may return to your day." The Avatar of the War God announced as he rose to his feet.

That was it, they just walked through the portal, which closed behind them, and then the door behind Karl opened, allowing the Inquisitors entry.

"Brother Karl, welcome back. Did you have a productive interview." The Inquisitor asked.

Karl opened his mouth to answer, but found that he couldn't speak at all about anything that had happened in the room. He could remember it, but no matter how he tried to phrase it, he was unable to tell them. The best he could give him was a generic confirmation.

"Productive would be a good word for it, yes." He agreed.

The faces of the two Avatars were already blurring in his mind, leaving behind a general impression to recognize them by, but not enough to accurately describe them, even if he could speak about the topic.

"That room is for foreign dignitaries of the Church. Anything that happens in there is usually confidential, so we won't ask you for details.

There is one thing that you should know, though. Six minutes ago, just before you entered the room, the System Stones that your team discovered disappeared. They were in the middle of a test, and then every single one of the monsters in the region, as well as the System Stones, and an entire mountain, vanished."
