The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Life Is About Balance

Karl started with the easier parts, the increase in the quality of the two spaces, and the addition of simple grass to the ground. Instead of the short grass that Hawk liked, it was longer grass. Rae liked to hide in the long grass, and Thor liked the way that it tickled his belly scales.

No judgment.

Then Karl left Thor's mostly empty, as all the other plants in the space were going to be food products. The power density of both was increased evenly at the start, but after a few hours, Karl began to experiment and found that Rae actually required much more power in her space to relieve the strain on his mind.

Her species was the more powerful of the two, and her power was growing more rapidly as well. The side effects of that could be problematic later, but the short-term benefits would be huge.

By the time that the sun came up in the morning, Karl was no longer feeling the drain of the two monsters on his mind, and he was beginning to feel an influx of energy instead. Each of the three had a different feeling to it. It was difficult to describe, but Karl likened it to the feeling of wind in his hair, grass under his feet and a comfortable blanket.

He briefly stopped for breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, which had amassed a huge amount of meat, blood and magical plants to restock his pets, then returned to his meditation. If he ever returned here, he would owe them a huge favour for helping him out with the feeding duties, as he now had weeks worth of food stored for everyone, and someone had even found him another strength stone to mix with the blood for Rae.

That was a winning combination, according to the Bloodbath Spider. The extra energy in the blood was helping her body form, which was improving the feedback, which in turn was restoring Karl's body and increasing the quality of her home.

It might not look like they were getting much done, but the three monsters were undergoing a massive strengthening. Even Hawk was getting in on it now that the other two had stabilized. The three spaces seemed to feed off each other and the monsters within. That helped the others grow as much as it did Karl, and hour by hour, they were actually getting further ahead of him on the strength scale.

It didn't feel like a problem, as long as the strength of the Beast Space held up, it didn't matter how strong his own body was. It was improving, though. He was stronger than before he had arrived, if not by much.

That news was a massive relief to the others at dinner that evening. Seeing Karl recovered and glowing with power assured them that they had made the right choice in bringing him here and letting him bond both monsters. There was a short-term setback, but now they were ahead and still gaining.

"Do you think that there will be any long-term damage?" Alice asked as Karl finished his dinner and prepared to go back to meditation.
