The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 The Value Of A Scout

[Hawk, you know what to do. Find us some high danger threats within the zone. As many in high Ascended and Commander as possible.] Karl instructed.

[Four hundred metres north. If you start moving now, you will meet with a lone Commander Rank Troll, thing. Maybe it's not a troll? Sure is ugly.]

"The scout says that we've got a large Troll four hundred metres north. If we move fast, we can intercept it before it gets to a regular patrol group." Karl informed the gathered leadership group.

"I didn't hear anything on the radio." The High Priest replied, with a gesture to his earbud.

"Mental communication between me and my Dragon Hawk. The Troll is moving fast, so I need to go if we're going to intercept it." Karl replied.

Tessa threw herself onto Thor's back and grabbed the short spikes on his ridge.

"Off we go."

And Thor took off in the direction of the threat, with Karl chasing him, and a small group of the Church Guard in hot pursuit. They had to see this battle, to ensure that nobody was lying or bringing in bodies from other zones. It seemed unlikely that this team would, when they had the power that they did, but anything was possible.

Karl overtook Thor as the beast had to slow down to avoid running into trees or throwing Tessa off, and was the first to come across what Hawk had called a Troll.

That might be what it was, but Karl had never seen anything quite that large and ugly before. It was six metres tall, covered in moss and where there was skin visible, it was pustulent and rotted. It almost looked like it was undead, but Karl could see the wounded areas knitting themselves together even as they rotted and fell apart in other areas.

That was definitely not something that he wanted to fight in close combat.

[Hawk, light this thing up. I think a little fire will improve the situation.] Karl instructed.

The barrage of fireballs seemed to sink into the creature and vanish, but they left smoking craters in the skin, which was slowly closing the gaps as Karl watched.

[We need more attack power.] Karl informed the others.

Rae was as reluctant to touch that thing as Karl was, but to her credit, she did come out to fight, and brought the Golems with her.

They shredded the corpulent flesh from the Troll, leaving rancid piles on the ground, and the creature began to gurgle some sort of war cry.

"Keep at it, the more flesh we rend off, the slower it is regenerating." Karl cheered the others on as he used [Shred] to hack a large portion of arm fat off, trying to determine where the actual muscles were.

Hawk lit the ground on fire, burning the disgusting piles of flesh, just as the Church Guard arrived on the scene.

"Dragons, what in the world is that smell?" One of them asked, as he activated a glowing golden circle, which did as much to burn away the severed flesh as Hawk's fire.

Like Karl, everyone was throwing ranged attacks at the beast, while Rae and her Golems did their best to tear away bits of flesh with their forelimbs. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
