The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Big Scaly Things

Thor roared in rage as Karl called him out to prepare for the fight. He couldn't see the enemy yet, but he could smell them, and every Cerro knew the smell of their natural predators.

"The scaly things are some sort of bipedal lizard." Karl relayed as he tried to interpret Thor's enraged thoughts.

His mind just called them enemies, and the Cerro packs didn't have a name for them either, but there was no doubt that they were carnivorous and pack hunters. What he hadn't expected was the size.

The first of them came crashing through the trees, standing three metres tall, but nearly seven metres long as it stood on two powerful legs with its tail extending behind it, and Karl could hear more of them coming.

Thor bugled a challenge at them, and the reptilian beasts turned to charge at their natural prey, forgetting about the small humans in favour of a real meal.

This Lightning Cerro was no pushover like his average pack kin, and Thor whipped his armour-plated tail ball at the first one to charge, sending it careening into a tree, where Karl was able to get a good swing at it.

His body surged with power as the two clerics both buffed him, and his blade shone with holy light under the fire as it cleaved down into the creature's neck, leaving the Awakened Rank beast's muscles severed, and the head tilted at an odd angle as it crashed to the ground and bled out on the mossy ground.

That curbed the enthusiasm of the other two monsters that had been incoming, but they had bigger problems than Karl and his sword.

The Clerics had also buffed Rae and her spider Golems, which had just jumped out of the trees and onto the back of one, while Alice's Golem cut off the escape route for another. _{freewebnøvel.com}

Dana's Golems were already surrounding the beast, and with the additional damage that they had gained when she learned [Destruction], which added damage to all her spells, the two stone Golems, who were now armed and armoured, were having no problems hacking through the thick hide.

It was a huge improvement from before they had found the System Stones, and even if the two mages hadn't been casting anything else, the two Awakened Rank Golems would have easily defeated the beast.

The new weapons and armour were a real upgrade for the Golem, and the stacked improvements were quickly putting Dana near the top of the Awakened Rank for combat power.

[The smaller furry things are coming your way. Maybe dogs?] Hawk suggested.

The last of the reptiles hadn't even finished twitching yet, and there were already more attackers, but if they were wolves, it wouldn't be so bad. Wolves he could handle. But, of course, that wasn't the case. Hawk knew what Wolves were, and these were not it.

They had a similar muzzle structure, but they were the size of a bear, and they had wings. Actual, leathery wings. But those were less concerning than the size of the claws on their feet as Karl parried an incoming attack.

The claws sparked like steel as they met the fire magic on his blade, but they didn't appear to be damaged.

Karl stepped back to put himself into Thor's [Circle of Protection], while remaining between the monsters and the rest of the group.

That retreat seemed to be a signal to the beasts, and they teamed up to grab one of the bodies and drag it away. The group decided to just let them go for the moment, until they could figure out what they had just been attacked by.
