The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Earth To Rae

Karl laughed. "I gained access to the Earth Shield. But she can use that and [Boulder Toss]." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

"How does that mesh with her other abilities?" Tank asked, not quite following how the ability was relevant to her.

Rae summoned a large stone in the air, then hurled it into the distance. When it was a hundred metres away, she appeared underneath it.

"Portable shade for her movement abilities. Plus, she had a spear ability before that she used at short range to apply [Lacerate]. Now she can throw big things at people. It might not be sharp, but I bet it will make them bleed." Karl guessed.

[And now I can use Crushing Blows. That's all the bonuses for me.] Rae added as she came back to her dome.

[Smashing Posts.] Thor muttered reverently, staring out of his space at the dome.

[I will make some for you after our shift.] Karl agreed.

"How much do you think that her damage has increased?" Tank asked curiously.

He had seen her up close in combat, and had a good idea what she could do two days ago, so he would be one of the best to judge how much her improvement was from the advancement.

"Do we have high a Commander Rank barrier mage nearby?" Karl asked.

One of the teachers stepped forward and created a solid wall of magic in front of the students.

"Rae, if you would kindly stab that one time." Karl requested.

Rae moved so fast that half the students couldn't even follow her camouflaged form, and the barrier shattered as her stone covered leg shot forward. There wasn't even any resistance, the barrier just shattered at the first hit.

The teacher just stared at the spot where his barrier used to be. It hadn't even held long enough to slow down Rae's advance. That was the barrier they relied upon to defend against the attacks of the Hill Giants, and while it was supported by others, it hadn't fallen often during the time they had been here.

The teacher shook his head, clearing his thoughts. "That's not low Royal Rank damage. I am guessing that Karl has a number of passive buffs active on his beasts, but I would say it is a little over twice the minimum standard for Royal Rank." He explained.

Karl nodded. "Yeah, there are a number of abilities that are always active on them, but I can still increase their speed and damage a bit more."

Tank blinked slowly as he did the mental math. "Does all of that apply to the Golems as well?"

"Yes, but they were already advanced, so they might not have gotten as big of a jump as Rae did. Now that she's caught up to the rank of her Golems, we will need to wait for the skill to advance them to the Monarch Rank before they are that far ahead of her again." Karl explained.

A few of the students shuddered at the thought. Royal Rank was a dream for most of them. Monarch Rank Golems were the sort of thing that they made horror movies about. Well, they actually didn't usually make horror movies about things that scary. Most movies used threats that were more relatable, but the idea was the same.

All of the others were resting in their spaces as Karl worked to rebuild the energy focus that Rae's advancement had depleted. It was taking longer than expected, as the energy kept leaking out as the spaces tried to balance with Rae's which wouldn't reduce.
