The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 915 Supreme Lady Matilda

Karl cleared his throat. "Sorry to interrupt, but how did we get here? I don't recall having an ability to enter the Chaos Plane, or any other plane for that matter."

The dragon seemed amused at the question. "You don't. Your little spat with the lovely Tiffani created a Chaos Plane anomaly. Void Magic and Death Magic, condensed until they liquified. What else did you expect?"

"Not this?" Karl replied with a shrug.

The vampire nodded. If anything, she would have expected the underworld, or perhaps the Netherworld, or one of the other Lower Planes. But opening a planar anomaly was not anywhere on the list of expected outcomes of their contest to begin with.

However, she didn't have any intentions of going home with that insane dragon. The Supreme Lady could keep that cockroach of an immortal annoyance instead.

"If you show me something interesting, perhaps I could show you how to go home." Matilda suggested.

Karl smirked and removed Cara from her space to hold her out toward the dragon. The Supreme Lady looked confused as she approached and stared at Cara.

Who booped her with her nose, then licked her cheek.

The dragon froze in place as both Karl and Cara burst into laughter. Tiffani gasped in horror, and turned to stare at him.

"You are literally insane. Did I disintegrate something important in your brain? I might be facing a horrible future, but you... you are so fucked!

[Satisfying. Spicy, a bit sweet.] Cara agreed.

Matilda was still staring at Karl and Cara, who was now flying around the Chaos Plane on her own, while Karl was completely unable to move.

"Oh, I see now. You are right, that is interesting. You found a way to have a Winged Void Badger blessed by the Laughing God." Matilda muttered, then cast a spell that created a small mirror in the air on her right.

The scene in the mirror changed rapidly, then came into focus, looking at a small burrow full of baby Void Badgers. An incorporeal black mist surged with power, and the area was obliterated, except for a black ball where the mother badger protected her young.

Then the scene cut and Cara was standing on Karl's shoulder as he swatted away the attack of the four armed Titan at the Golden Dragon Capital, then it showed her being attacked by Orcs and meeting Karl, who lured her in with food. Finally, it showed a flash of her looting an unknown species of insectoid warrior in a dungeon, followed by the moment that she licked the bone dragon.

"So, that's how it is."

[It's my history... in no particular order. But some of those things haven't happened yet.] Cara cheered as she flew over to land on the dragon.

The scenes kept playing, but Matilda turned the mirror so only the two of them could see it.

A few minutes later, the mirror vanished, and Supreme Lady Matilda sighed.

"It's a shame I had to miss so many of the good parts in person. Well, time to go."

Then she simply vanished, along with Tiffani.

Cara flew around for a moment, enjoying her time in the Chaos Plane. This was a good place, and she could really feel the wind in her fur. It was like a refreshing blow-dryer after a bubble bath, even if Karl didn't feel any wind in the realm at all. It was like it didn't touch him.

Or maybe it just hadn't started yet for him. It was better not to think too deeply about such things.

Then the Void around Karl seemed to twist, and he was ejected back out, only to find himself locked back in battle with Tiffani.

Their eyes met in shock, and the vampire turned to mist, fleeing their engagement. The world twisted, and a flash of the memory of the events in the void returned to Karl's mind. Again, Karl found himself back in battle with Tiffani, who looked even more panicked this time.

[Everything is Chaotic.] Cara explained in a sage voice from inside her space.

The loop repeated for a third time, and Tiffani looked resigned as time restarted, then she again turned into mist and tried to run. But this time the black layer was a bit thinner, and when she pulled away from Karl, she simply vanished, leaving behind nothing but the scent of Chaos Dragon and her own fear.

Memories slammed into Karl's mind, and he realized that Rae and the others hadn't experienced any of that. For them, nothing had happened but the deadlock, then the vampire being extracted by the Chaos Dragon.

Whether they had been able to sense the presence of the Supreme Rank Dragon at all was questionable, but Karl and Cara could still smell her presence, like a waft of perfume after she had left the room.

Karl caught his breath as his body finished healing, and then realized he was both naked and human again.

A quick transformation and a fresh set of armour had him ready to go, but Priestess Delilah had some questions.

"What exactly was that? I thought I felt a Chaos Dragon take the Vampire away, and why did you turn human when your armour broke?" She demanded.

"I didn't turn human when my armour broke. Somewhere at the end, my transformation spell must have been dispelled. My natural state is much less furry. A chaos dragon did intervene. Apparently, something that we did alerted Supreme Lady Matilda, and she claimed the vampire as her own." Karl explained.

"Cyhosasa is involved with Bomgon?" Commander Ligo asked, horrified.

Karl shook his head. "No, the vampire was definitely from Bomgon, but she had some sort of deal where she agreed that the Supreme Lady would never see her again, and once she did, the Chaos Dragon simply took her.

There was some overlap of time there, I don't know what sort of skill that was."

Priestess Delilah nodded. "That's understandable. Everything becomes chaotic around her. The entire nation of Cyhosasa tends to be in a state of flux when she's in a bad mood. Time flow, mana levels, everything. New cities and dungeons have been known to appear out of nowhere when she is mad at someone."

Chaos, indeed.

Karl checked his mind and found that Cara was safely in her space, reclined on her pile of treasure, reminiscing about whatever she had seen in that mirror. Her thoughts were oddly closed to Karl, but whatever she saw had pleased the badger.
