Chapter 822 Speed Run?
Thor's idea gave Cara a great idea. If she made it to Overlord, and then forced an evolution to a form one Rank higher, wouldn't she be an instant Totem? She would win everything all at once.
[You know that getting that far ahead would be problematic for everyone. I am just entering Overlord Rank, we can't have someone shooting ahead to Totem Rank right away.
Not only that, but there are material costs to Evolution, and I don't know what they are yet. We might have to go hunt for treasures.] Karl reminded her.
That sounded pretty good to Cara. There were bound to be new things to see and test now that she was on a new continent.
She still wanted to be a Totem, though. She never did get to boop the Totem Dragon.
While the beasts were contemplating their next advancement, a massive recovery effort was being launched to bring the slain whales to land. Demons with water and gravity magic were working together to pull corpses in.
But Rae had a better method. She simply grabbed a dozen of the Monarch Ranked beasts into her space, and then directly dumped them on the dock, shocking the workers who had gathered in preparation for the work of cleaning and portioning such a massive amount of meat.
Karl landed along the shore near the dock master's warehouse where they had set up the grill during the last attack, and looked for someone with answers.
"Does this happen often?" He asked, with a gesture towards the shore.
The dockworker laughed. "Thankfully, no. Most of the time we lose at least one or two Overlords and dozens of Monarchs whose bodies can't be recovered.
This time we got off easily, and they didn't try to bombard the city before leaving.
Normally, the Sky Whales get super aggressive during mating season, so anything that happens to be nearby, whether it's a city or an unfortunate merchant caravan, gets pummelled into submission.
Honestly, even for Hawk and Rae's space, this had been pushing it. There didn't appear to be a weight limit, but the spaces were not unlimited in size, and even a few of these behemoths nearly filled them.
That posed an interesting question in Karl's mind. If he obtained such a massive beast, would the space expand to be more comfortable for it? Or would its growth be stunted by its environment? If you kept fish in a small bowl, they never grew as large as ones in the wild or in a pond.
Hawk examined the trio of Overlord Ranked bodies in his space, then made an important realization.
[I didn't need to go down there. Remi is a water creature, and she can swim.]
Remi laughed at her brother. [True, but I'm all the way over here. Though as slow as you are in the water, I might have made it down to the bodies faster.]
Annoyed, Hawk tossed the enormous egg he was carrying at her, and Remi deftly caught it in all four arms.
{This is a fascinating egg. Is it one of theirs? It smells tasty, and magical.} She asked.
Hawk circled overhead and examined it. [It's magic, but not alive. I don't know what it is.]
Karl also examined it with Soul Sight, and found that it was not an egg at all. It was egg shaped, but not an egg.
Karl felt a powerful person appear behind him, and found that the six District Overseers, the Totem Ranked leaders under the City Governor, had arrived.
"Did you find that in one of the corpses?" One of the Demons asked.
Karl shook his head. "It was on the sea floor when my beast went down to recover bodies. I'm not sure what it is, though."
"That, my young friend, is a Heart of the Ocean, an extremely rare Water Element treasure."
