The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Totems and Spears

The group rushed the Frost Giants, who were ready for their approach, but not for the dirty tricks that the team was about to pull on them.

First, the appearance of the two snake totems pulled their attention to one side, as fire and venom invaded their bodies, amplifying the pain of the Chain Lightning. Then, once the left flank was distracted, the Spider Golems hit from the back, causing chaos in the ranks before Rae herself was into the right flank of the Frost Giants.

She was laughing as she dodged a long spear that one of the Giants was holding, completely removing one of the two Commanders from the fight, and forcing the formation to spread out, to avoid being in the way of his attacks.

With [haste], the Giant had no chance of actually landing a solid hit on the nimble Bloodbath Spider unless she got closer to him, but that wasn't her goal. She just wanted the real fighters out of the way while her minions took care of the weaklings.

Then, she got a brilliant idea. A stream of silk wrapped the spear, and with her forelegs, she pulled it free of the Giant's hands as he lunged forward on the attack. Then she fired her own volley of [Spears] back at him, small spikes that peppered him with heavily bleeding wounds.

[Where is your spear goddess now?] Rae laughed, and Karl felt an ominous sense of attention in the back of his mind, as if they had insulted something that could look down on them from another plane of existence.

[Maybe don't insult war goddesses?] Karl suggested as Rae hurled mental insults at the enraged Frost Giant, who was finding it impossible to catch her.

[Then I will make him give the pointy stick to our War Cleric and have her teach the Frost Giants how to use one.] Rae retorted.

She whipped the strand of silk, sending the spear flying clumsily toward the clerics.

"Tessa, catch. She says it's for you, since a Cerro Knight needs a lance." Karl joked.

Though she was confused, Tessa caught the flying spear, which instantly bonded with her, creating a golden shafted and silver headed spear that looked infinitely more impressive than the crudely enchanted item the Frost Giant had been using.

Instead of a crude metal wedge, the spear now had wide, three sided blades as long as her forearm at the tip, with a hooked crossbar, like a boar spear, to keep it from running all the way through the target.

The spear glowed with Holy Light as she hopped up on Thor's back and led the Lightning Cerro on a charge into the Frost Giant Ranks with her spear levelled and her shield in her other hand.

The warriors laughed at the sight, but when she thrust the spear forward, and the blade sunk into a Commander Rank Frost Giant to the crossbar, then carried him off his feet with the momentum of a charging Thor, they couldn't help but be impressed.

The Spider Golems closed on Thor's flanks, so nothing could attack him as Tessa shook the spear free of her target, and they came around for a second charge.

"It's a spear, not a lance, you don't have to run them through." Bob yelled as the duo charged at the Giants again.

Thor bugled an annoyed response. Running them through was?way more fun than just stabbing them. But with quick thrusts of the blade, Tessa attacked the Frost Giants, letting Thor run down the ones he wanted, so she could stab them while they were on the ground.

If Thor was going to remain as a charger, he was going to need some practice. The happy prancing was not at all dignified.

The second charge carried them out of Rae's side of the battle, while the Ascended Rank Giants scattered and tried to survive the affections of the Spider Golems chasing after Thor. As for actual damage, it might not be the most effective. But as a chaos tactic for breaking an enemy formation, Thor's method was unparalleled.

The Frost Giants didn't last much longer, and the next group was still over a kilometre away, on the other side of the ridge, when the last of them fell.
