The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 First Advancement Trial

[Trial starts in 5 seconds]

In the distance, the battlefield began to change, and a horde of violet skinned Demons formed, with one massive four-armed leader standing among them.

[I wonder if they taste good.] Hawk wondered. [The small ones are kind of skinny, I might be able to eat them in one piece.] Remi agreed.

They were only a metre and a half tall, half her length, so in theory it might be possible, but even then, that would be a huge object for a snake her size to try to get in their mouth.

The demons were already in motion, and they were insanely fast, nearly twice as fast as the [Haste] enhanced Spider Golems.

Karl quietly cursed and wondered why he had picked the Epic difficulty. That trial announcement wasn't kidding. If he defeated this group, it was going to be Epic, and it was only stage one.

Karl was about to issue orders when suddenly the largest Demon appeared in front of him, all four arms swinging blades at him. He brought up [Earth Shield] as a wall of stone and jumped backwards as the blades cut deep into the obstacle.

A kick from the Demon shattered the damaged barrier, and it came after him again.

[Rae, send the Golems to assist me while the rest of you take care of the little things.] Karl instructed.

Remi climbed up on Thor's back to take Tessa's usual spot and began to hurl [Chain Lightning] into the crowd.

The small demons scorched black with the damage, and when Hawk sent his fireballs after the Lightning, multiple Demons died, stumbling and falling face down as their momentum carried them forward.

[We've got this.] Thor declared, confident that they could keep the large numbers away from the leader.

[Yeah Boss. We will fry the purple food, while you argue with the guy who thinks he can be as Stabby as Rae.] Remi agreed.

Karl spun his blade, parrying a round of attacks as the Spider Golems attacked.

One landed a solid hit on a shoulder, but the other took a blade across a leg for minor damage.

Then, pain seared through Karl's arm, and Hawk screeched in annoyance.

[The damage spreads. If it hits one of us, it hits everyone.] The bird complained.

That was the most brutally overpowered skill that Karl had ever heard of. Area attacks were bad enough, but they usually spread their damage across a large area, doing a little to many targets.

This skill appeared to deal full damage from a sword strike to everything nearby.

The big demon smiled as it realized that Karl understood the effect of its skill, then launched a flurry of attacks at him, just aiming to do a little damage with every blade, not to land a single hit kill.

It didn't have to. If it wounded him a little bit every time, it would wear the whole team down. The Demon was double-jointed, and it could attack behind its back nearly as well as towards its front, leaving it with a minimal blind spot and no real defenseless side for the Golems to take advantage of.

But [Refreshing Lightning] helped Karl's team heal, and the damage was already fading.

Four more strikes made their way past Karl's defence in the next two seconds, and he realized that [Refreshing Lightning] wouldn't be enough for long.

[Skill Points] 11

That was enough to get something, Karl hoped. There were attack skills, but that wouldn't help much in the race to defeat this insane Demon, and they might be too expensive.
