The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377 Fighting Blind

Morgana's corruption spell was rotting away the attackers and slowing their movements, while a sudden blizzard turned everything more than twenty metres away to a wall of white. That might be a lot for humans, but for the Hill Giants, who were all over five metres tall, it made actually fighting more than a little problematic.

They could only see what was happening to the fighters closest to them, and those further away were blurry, making it hard to pick out the targets.

Karl caught on quickly and equipped his furry white cloak, causing the outline of his form to appear blurry in the snow as he continued his assault.

The Special Forces team were already in white, but the change made Bob stand out even more in his silver and black attire.

Fireballs shot up from totems placed on the ground to the side of the group, where the Giants would have to expose their flanks or backs to get rid of them, and Remi slithered out to wait between Lotus and Dana while she fired her [Chain Lightning] and alternated locations for her Totems.

"Surge attack." The Knights' leader announced as they moved in unison to retreat within the team's formation.

Karl wasn't sure what that meant, but he brought up a lattice of [Earth Shield] as a dome over the Elites anyhow. A barrage of boulders slammed into the stone, which shimmered with magic as the Knights added their shields to the mix, and then the stone crumbled, allowing the boulders to bounce off the magical shields. Karl didn't wait for the barrage to finish. He switched to his blade and moved back into the fray, slicing into the Giants as the Golems kept up their attack speed. They were so nimble that the Hill Giants hadn't managed to actually kill them or even seriously injure them yet, despite trying to surround them.

The increase in combat power shouldn't have been all that large, Karl thought, but Rae had gained a level, and that increased the bonus from the buffs she got from Karl. Those buffs passed along to the Golems, and it was definitely noticeable.

They also seemed to be a bit smarter than they were before, and their techniques were evolving. They were not just attacking, but they were also darting between legs, climbing up armour to jump between targets, and generally acting more like spiders. They were not just a menace, but a nuisance, frustrating the Hill Giants with their erratic movements and their tactics that seemed to have no rhyme or reason.

A spider's primary goal was not to deal maximum damage at all times, as the Golems had been doing before. A spider's primary goal was to not get squished while they were hunting.

Don't put your webs where they will get directly rained on, and don't get squished on your way to the food. That was the spider way.

So, they crawled from target to another, stabbing, biting, and occasionally even killing.

Karl thought that the total damage they were doing wasn't any lower, but the chaos that they caused among the Hill Giants was much higher now.

He couldn't even blame them. A giant spider with razor blades for legs running under your groin or crawling up your back had to be nerve wracking.

"Isn't he afraid of anything?" Karl heard one of the Knights asking as they rejoined the battle.

"Certainly not the Hill Giants, that is for certain." Dana laughed.
