The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1081: Reenactment

The Guild Leaders pulled Dana and Karl to their seats at the back, while Rae spun a hammock to hang from the corner of the ceiling, her preferred angle to watch from.

The other beasts preferred to watch from inside their spaces, as they could get a better view there than from any spot in the room.

An announcer in the form of the King of Nulnalgat appeared on the stage, which transformed into a view of the arena, where the seating area of the Manor was just a small portion of the stadium, as Opal activated [Illusionary Domain] to make it possible to have a life-sized show.

“Welcome everyone to the recreation of the Guild Challenge Duel between the Mythic Warrior Jerome and the Totem Ranked Beast Master Champion Karl.” The illusion spoke, and ten thousand illusionary voices cheered from the crowd.

The two champions took their places and began to taunt each other, which made the Alliance members chuckle at the audacity.

“He didn’t, did he?” One of the warriors asked when the illusionary Karl declared that he would take the Mythic Dungeon as compensation if he won.

The Guild Leaders laughed, confirming that it had actually happened.

Everyone present had a general idea how this would end, as Karl and his guild were now members of their Alliance, but the confident trash talk leading up to the duel had been enhanced slightly by Opal’s retelling.

As had the size of Karl’s Avatar form.

From here, it looked even more majestic than the Guild Masters remembered it. But the way that the overflowing power still slammed into their chests had been perfectly recreated by the butterfly by using air pressure changes.

The sound of claws on steel and steel on scales was deafening, and the scent of blood and ash filled the impromptu auditorium as the duel continued, drawing the crowd from tense to excited, and then to roaring with laughter as the Haint and Karl taunted the Mythic Warrior.

Karl’s paw slashed at the warrior, and the sound of warping steel and breaking bones filled the room as Jerome bounced off the barrier surrounding the arena, then took another dose of Ghostfire to the face.

Karl tried not to laugh as Opal had him posing grandly as he recalled the Bodyguards and Golems to beat Jerome down for the final time, and the crowd gasped as he activated his final buff skill to increase his strength and speed.

For a few moments, it actually looked like Karl was going to lose, and everything was splattered with dragon blood, which Opal had made to dramatically drip down the barrier, though in reality it didn’t stick at all and simply fell to the ground.

So well done was the reenactment that by the time that Jerome dramatically collapsed to the ground as [Heroic Intervention] ended, it almost felt anticlimactic.

The King of Nulnalgat rushing over to save Jerome’s life as his soul was visibly leaking toward the Haint was the final high point of the battle, before the scene changed to Karl alone in the arena.

The assembled Alliance members cheered and clapped as the Avatar form of Karl spread its wings and made a slight bow in their direction. Though, Karl did notice that it was looking directly at him.

[Excellent work, Opal. I daresay that they’ve never seen a show this impressive before.]

“Are these shows a regular thing for your Guild?” The Mythic Mage in the Idol dress asked as the chaos after the show died down.

“Yeah, we have movie nights a few times a week. Either recreations of historical events, stories from storybooks, or an original series that Opal is working on.” Karl agreed.

A few of the guests got up and were going to walk down the stands, either looking for an exit, or exploring the area.

“I wouldn’t go too far. If Opal ends the illusion, you’ll land in the living room on the first floor.” Karl informed them.

The warriors laughed, but continued off into the stands.

“I’m more interested in this illusionary space. This is absolutely brilliant. It has to be a Domain level spell, right? An illusion strong enough that it can warp space.” He asked.

Karl nodded. “That’s right. It’s her species’ racial specialty.”

The Warrior sighed. “I had hoped that it was a skill your mage was using. If that was the case, there might be a chance to learn it. I could use a training arena like this.”

Karl nodded. “It’s not the best for that, as damage will break the illusion. But layered with a few other spells, it would theoretically be possible.”

“If you do happen to research the possibility, I would be glad to help you test it. Though, you could likely do that yourself. Anyone who can toss a Mythic Ranked warrior around like a rag doll certainly doesn’t lack the power to test their own defensive artifacts.”

Deve chuckled. “The real fight was insane. They actually had to constantly reinforce the Mythic Rank barrier over the arena because neither of the fighters cared where their missed skills landed. If we hadn’t gathered so many powerful spectators, they likely would have broken the arena protections.”

“What sort of skill even lets a Totem take hits like that? Watching it felt like two Mythic warriors going at it.” A warrior in the crowd asked.

Everyone turned to Karl, as none of them had the answer to that question.

“I’ve got an advanced version of [Limited Invulnerability], plenty of damage reduction, and then another twenty percent off all damage taken thanks to a Class Skill. So, I’m only taking around half as much as normal, and I ignore a large base amount of damage.

Enough that against most enemies, I don’t even take damage until they go all out.” Karl offered.

“And with skills like that, you chose to make weapons for a living?” The warrior asked, confused.

“Oh, that’s really just a hobby to keep the Guild’s funding afloat. I do a little bit of whatever keeps life interesting. The group from the Darklight Host who are here now were all out hunting excess monsters from the spawns to please the Black Dragon God and keep their population under control.”

The Warrior shook his head in dismay. “That’s nuts. If I could make this much money in an afternoon, I would never leave the house again.”

Karl chuckled. “You might never get the chance if you could. You see, it’s very difficult to stop once you get started with advanced crafting. So few crafters advance in Rank due to making the same thing all the time that higher Ranking equipment is in demand all over the world.”

“So, if you don’t run off to do something far away, you end up in a workshop all day every day for the rest of your life.” The Warrior realized.

“Exactly.”

Deve chuckled and patted Karl on the back. “Well, you’ll be stuck here for a while. We’ve got plenty of custom orders and bulk item requests to catch up on what an Alliance as large as ours would like to have in stock.

But once we’re fully stocked, I promise to help you keep doing interesting things at least once in a while.”
