The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Yeti Uniforms

Lotus was using a [Refresh] spell on Thor to keep his endurance up, while Thor did his best to keep the [Refreshing Lightning] up, and the Golems tore apart the Yeti Clan to the accompaniment of dozens of Magic Missiles.

Both Dana and Tori were using them, while Ophelia kept the Yetis away from the mages.

They were winning, and half the Clan was already down, while the rest bled out onto the snow as they fought. Against [Lacerate] they were not going to win a battle of attrition without healers. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

One last volley of arrows ended the already wounded Yeti Clan, and Karl quickly gathered the Frost Giant's belongings for Tessa to identify.

"Is everyone alright?" He asked as he ran over to the main fight.

"We will be in a minute. Bear is still recovering from a couple of wounds, as is Thor. Rae should be good, but everyone burned a lot of mana and energy." Tessa replied.

Remi's blizzard was slowly covering the battlefield as Karl searched the bodies for magical items to toss into his trusty loot bag. The yeti corpses all had magical weapons, but no other items on them other than the cloaks that they were using to disguise themselves as Giants.

That was good enough for Karl, as ten more weapons gave them a chance to either switch, or to turn them in later for credits. The soldiers on the line would appreciate the weapons upgrades, and goodwill from your reinforcements could never be a bad thing.

Back in middle school, when he was the last one who hadn't gone through puberty, Karl had one huge friend who looked out for him when he had time. Karl hadn't thought about Big John for a while, likely not since becoming an Elite, but him and John used to study together all the time, and John kept the bullying from getting out of hand when the teachers turned a blind eye.

John hadn't been on the train, so he was likely in the mines right now, slaving away for the pittance they made at the bottom of the hole.

The others quickly sorted through the weapons with growing disappointment.

"It looks like these are uniformly made, perhaps by a mass blessing by a Frost Giant Shaman. They're all identical, and though the [Biting Edge] enchantment is strong Ice Magic, it doesn't really grant any benefit other than the ability to cut like a Commander Rank weapon." Tessa explained.

"Well, I think that will be good enough for the front-line troops. We can drop by and give them the loot tomorrow if we have time. But right now, we need to get ourselves into shelter before we can't see what we're doing at all. Hawk, lead the way." Karl replied.

[There is a good spot not far from here, a small cave, but big enough for everyone to hide inside.] Hawk decided, not wanting to be stuck outside all night again, in case another cold front came through.

They jogged through the snow-covered hills with a blizzard raging around them, hiding their tracks from anything that might want to follow them and dispersing their scent trail. In this battlefield, it was quickly becoming their best ally, and a great safeguard against surprise attacks.

The fact that there was no surviving local monster population helped as well. Everything that lived here had run away, and the Frost Giant Army could only send so many troops to cover an entire border.

The cave turned out to be much larger than Hawk had thought it was. The front area was small, but behind it, a narrow tunnel led to a much larger room.

Out of an abundance of caution, and because they had fallen for that trap once before, the team checked all the walls to ensure that none of them were fake before settling in for the night.
