The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Royal Return

The familiar text of the announcements appeared below the prize notification.

[Speak the word Depart to leave the First Advancement Trial.]

"Before we leave, we should prepare to be attacked. There was still a battle going on when we entered, so there are likely Hill Giants nearby, and we don't know which side will be holding the area around the exit." Karl reminded them as everyone prepared to get moving.

Once they were in formation, Karl tapped Lotus on the shoulder, and she spoke the magic words.

"We would like to depart, please."

[So polite.]

The notice appeared in the air below the other notices, and then they were standing on the battlefield, next to the portal, and in the middle of a fight between the teachers who were guarding the entrance and the Hill Giants who were determined to break through.

[Time to work everyone, show them what you've got.] Karl instructed.

There was a large group of Ascended Rank Hill Giants to Karl's left, until he hit them with a Royal Rank [Shred] layered with [Lacerate].

Those that it didn't kill outright were severely maimed and bleeding heavily, even missing limbs from the brutal arc of energy.

The Hill Giants scattered as they realized that there was a Royal Rank Elite on this portion of the line, doing their best to get out of his line of sight while they fought their way to the Trial entrance.

"What's the situation?" Karl asked as he moved next to one of the Mage Class teachers who had come to reinforce the portal area.

"The Hill Giants knew that the portal would open. We don't know how they knew, but it sounds like that was the reason they were attacking. One group of Hill Giants made it into the Trial, but they haven't come out yet, and we've got the rest of them pushed back now." The teacher explained.

"How did we find out that they knew?" Karl asked. That seemed like important intelligence that should have been shared in advance if they had it.

"The Giants Celebrated that they were the first ones to open a Trial. A number of us among the Academy speak Hill Giant." He explained.

"Crap. If that is why they're attacking the border, to create a conflict that will open a trial, this war just got a lot more chaotic.

The rewards in there were powerful.

Very powerful.

"If the Hill Giants get control of a few of those trials, their combat power is going to skyrocket. I recommend that we send a team of students so we can build up our total number of Commanders, and once we can, send another team of Commanders in, ones as close to the bottleneck as possible. If my team had been closer to the bottleneck, we might have had more Royal Rank fighters coming out just now, instead of a team of strong Commanders." Karl explained.

"We sent a team of Ascended Rank students with a pair of Commander Rank leaders from the defensive lines near the anomaly in as soon as your team came out. It wouldn't let anyone else in until then. Either the limit is two teams, or one team from each species." The mage explained.
