The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Loot Now?

?Karl touched the first body, intending to roll the creature over to check if it had anything decent. But as soon as he touched it, the body vanished, and a small stack of coins was left on the ground.

"What the hell was that?" He whispered.

"Oh, it's one of those dungeons. This will be spectacular. Touch every monster that we kill, and try not to kill any of them out of reach. It will give us loot as we go, and we can split it how we want. The reward could be money, items, clothing, nearly anything, I've even heard of them turning into food. So don't miss any, the item is usually based on the power of the monster." Corbin informed them.

Dana whistled softly as she followed the Prince's instructions, and held up a blue coral ring.

Hawk grumbled in discontent, and Karl was almost certain that it was a water elemental buff.

"Does anyone know how to identify these?" Dana asked.

Tessa held out her hand, and a golden glow surrounded the ring for a moment before the cleric looked startled.

"It's a Common Grade ring of pure water. Like the spell that we use to make water with meals, but anyone wearing it can use it if they have the mana." She explained, then handed it back to Dana.

It wasn't like the cleric needed it.

Dana took off her glove and slid it on her finger, then replaced the glove as the Spellswords gave her envious looks.

"It's just the first fight, and a common grade item. Just wait, we're bound to get all sorts of good things out of here with the variety of classes in our group." Prince Corbin promised.

He threw a spell at a nearby group of Naga, killing one instantly, and making the others run toward them. It was brilliant, and almost as if some of the intelligence of the monsters had been removed to make them respond in a predictably aggressive manner, even when they should have been smart enough to just run when someone was instantly decapitated.

The Spellblades and Karl were on the group the next second, cutting them down, then tapping the corpses to see what happened.

More coins, and a pair of black leather gloves that certainly weren't anything the Naga had been wearing were the results, leaving everyone impressed by the level of magic that it must have taken to create something like this.

"I believe that these Dungeons are a creation of the World Dragon, a form of Divine Magic. The risks might be immense, as the enemy groups will contain opponents that can challenge Corbin because he's with us, but the rewards should be similarly great, as the World Dragon took care of the people." Tessa informed the group in a serious tone that reminded them she was a Cleric first, and knew all the essentials of Church Doctrine.

"Step back into the long grass." Lotus warned quietly, sending everyone scurrying for cover.

Fortunately, there were no bodies left to give them away because there was a patrol of larger, four-armed Naga coming, and by Karl's guess there were four Commanders and either a high Commander or Prince Ranked leader.

Corbin gestured that he would take the leader with Alice's Golem as his guard, which left Karl and Thor to hold off the others while the ambush worked its magic.

Of course, Larry and Alice were going to have to help with the leader, but with Rae and her Golems on the team, they weren't completely outmatched by the other four guards.

The Naga were scaly, but not hard scaly like Thor, they were supple and flexible, meaning hard to hit as they avoided Karl's strikes.

These guards also had a water barrier around them that had enraged Hawk, who was furiously hurling fireballs at them as his Flaming Body surrounded both him and Dana.

Karl didn't think that Hawk had even realized he could do that, he was too focused on eliminating the water magic from existence, working through his trauma one charred corpse at a time.

At this point, even Rae felt bad for the angry bird, and did her best to let him get the last hit on a failing shield, before having her Golems ambush from behind to take out the targets.

The Golems were also subtly different than he remembered, Karl noticed. They had plates of black metal armour on their torsos, and encasing their already dangerous forelimbs like blades. That had to be Dana's Golem Armour type ability. [Durable Constructs] he believed it was called. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Combined with the Lightning, it was incredibly effective, and the Naga were being decimated by the two Golems. The agile warriors that Karl had such a hard time hitting were no match for the eight legged Golems, and Karl wondered if he should invest in [Haste] when he had enough skill points.
