The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Escape Encirclement

Prince Corbin attacked through the breach on Thor's side of the circle faster than most of the Elites' eyes could follow, cutting down a swathe of yetis and burning through his mana to get everyone clear of the encirclement.

Tessa pulled Alice and Dana up on Thor's back, while Rae grabbed Lotus with a strand of silk and pulled her into the trees, escaping the encirclement before the furry monsters could even realize that the Nature Priestess was unharmed.

The Golems held their positions around Thor, while the Spellswords used their magic to increase their movement speed and keep in the protective circle around the Lightning Cerro.

Karl chased after them, using fire to keep the monsters at bay as everyone ran, ignoring their injuries and exhaustion to keep up with the Royal Rank mage and the rampaging Cerro.

The Golems were the first to fall, forced to stop to hold off the wave of attackers. Then Darryl took an ice bolt to the knee that dropped him to the ground, leaving him far behind the main group.

Karl picked up the wounded Spellsword as the man downed a healing potion, then hurled him back ahead and into the main group.

At the back of the pack, they were taking too many attacks for the exhausted mage to keep his armour up, but Karl's Lightning was still holding strong as he hurled attacks at the monsters approaching the sides of the group.

The monsters were as fast as Thor, and they weren't giving up the chase, but the constant barrage of attacks was keeping them from closing in again, as three hundred metres passed, then four hundred, and the cave came into sight. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

Lotus and Rae were already waiting for them, along with the Spider Golems, which Rae could only summon next to her after they had fallen in battle.

Once they were closer, the mages created new Golems to defend the cave mouth, and everyone dismounted from Thor as he stopped to guard the entrance.

But the Yeti Clans were no longer following them. Once they got within fifty metres of the caves, the beasts broke off the chase, milling about, but unwilling to get too close to the caverns.

That was probably not a good thing, Karl decided. But for the moment, it was keeping them from being attacked, and Rae had disappeared inside to scout, but didn't find anything at all other than stone walls and some dripping water from the melting snow above.

Once everyone was inside, they dismissed the golems, and Karl called Thor back into his space.

The Yeti Clans still weren't approaching, so it wasn't the defensive force that was keeping them away, but something about the area around the cave.

[Hawk, do you see anything threatening above? Something that might actually be a danger to a Commander Rank Yeti?] Karl asked.

[Nothing. Other than them, there is nothing here. Not even mice.]

That didn't sound promising, but they would have to work with it.

Rae returned empty-handed, but with insight about the caves.

[They extend another fifteen metres, then they stop at a stone wall with water flowing down it. The water runs out somewhere at the bottom, but I'm too big to fit in there. We should be safe in here.] She explained.

"Rae says the caves are empty, but there is a water drain at the back wall, so they're not completely sealed. We should be able to hide and rest here, then continue in the morning." Karl whispered to Alice, so he didn't alert anything outside.

Corbin cast a spell over the entrance, creating a false stone wall, and Karl called Hawk back to his space.

[The three of you, get some sleep. If we're attacked, we will likely need all of you in your best shape again.] He instructed.
