The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 It's Art I Tell You

The fact that Karl was aiming to shatter the Giant's weapon right from the first strike seemed to make it obvious that he had a weapon shattering technique, but [Shatter] didn't only work on weapons, but on anything that it hit.

The vibrations would cause bones to break just as effectively as it caused a wooden club to break.

That distraction let the other warrior get behind the target, and score the first strike of the battle, cutting a line down the Hill Giant's lightly armoured back as Karl kept it distracted.

The Giant turned to swing at the agile warrior, and Karl backed up, switching back to his bow to plug a [Flaming Body] infused arrow into the enormous target.

It was like shooting at a house from the middle of the lawn, impossible to miss.

The Giant stepped forward to keep both targets in sight, and Karl backed up again, drawing the Giant behind the lines where it could receive no reinforcements, before he was forced to switch back to his two-handed blade to deflect a flurry of attacks that he wasn't fast enough with the Maul to handle.

The teacher took advantage of the opening again, slicing the back of a knee, and going for a spot at the armpit where the Giant's crude armour exposed a weakness.

The Giant moved too quickly for that strike to land, and the warrior went rolling as he was clipped by a swing of the club.

[Rae, Golems, now.] Karl ordered as he aimed a strike for the Giant's left knee.

His blade and the Giant's club met a shower of sparks from [Flaming Body], leaving the two of them deadlocked for a split second before the pair of Spider Golems landed on the Hill Giant's shoulders and began to shred his face and back.

He reared back and flailed viciously at the attackers, throwing the first one deep into the Hill Giant lines, but his movement left him vulnerable, and Karl struck upwards, hitting him at the gap between his hanging waist armour and his chest plate.

The flaming blade buried in the Hill Giant to the hilt, and Karl used it as a conduit to cast first [Chain Lightning] then [Blizzard] from the inside.

The giant made a gurgling noise for a moment before his movements slowed, and the Spider Golem deprived him of his head.

Then Rae was on the scene, prepared to begin her art exhibition. She had prepared a dozen Commander Rank Hill Giant bodies on pikes, which she slammed into the ground, standing them up as grotesque mannequins, before she used her silk to tie the leader up by his arms between two of the Commanders, leaving the body spread eagle and standing upright, but headless.

"What the hell are you doing?" Karl heard Morgana shouting from behind him, as every Hill Giant in the area turned to him with rage in their eyes.

He just made a "Come and get it" gesture, and then charged forward, firing arrows into the closest few Commander Rank Hill Giants, who no longer cared about tactics, and only wanted vengeance.

The bow was quickly replaced with the Maul, shattering a knee, and then crushing a rib cage before the falling Hill Giant had even reached the ground.

Then Karl retreated, forcing the attackers to come at him one at a time through the small gap around Tank and his partner, who were still dealing with their enraged Royal Rank opponent. It was more intent on getting to Karl than on fighting them, and they were hacking it apart, but it didn't seem to care.

Tessa glowed with the red light of the War Dragon's favour, and Thor's defensive blessing increased in size, granting everyone near the macabre display the benefits of [Circle of Protection].

The Lightning Cerro charged straight for the second Royal Rank Giant, who never even saw him coming before it was flung from its feet and set upon by two massive front feet and an enraged Berserker.

But this time, the Hill Giant lines didn't break and retreat. They were fighting as hard as they could, but without any sense of cohesion or tactics, and as often as not, their strikes were interfering with the fights of those next to them, throwing off timing, deflecting blows and causing arguments in the attacking line.

The students' defensive lines closed the gap as Tank and his partner retreated to catch their breath, and the Spider Golems darted off to cause chaos in the Hill Giant attack.

"Well, that's one way to get them worked up. They're not going to forget this." The defensive warrior with Tank noted.

She gave a meaningful look at the display, and Karl began to laugh. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
