The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Divulging Secrets

The group sat in the grass and watched Thor charge the barrier over and over, while Rae laughed at him and Hawk lazily circled in the air over the field.

Once they had realized that the monsters were with the Elites in the field, the local citizens' panic had subsided. The Elites had seen stranger things in their time than a few tame beasts, so although they were deadly, the townsfolk quickly realized that they weren't a threat.

Once it started to get dark, Rae finally came down from the tree, blending into the grass as well as she could until she was hidden behind Karl's back where he sat at the edge of the field. That let her observe the humans from much closer, while Hawk and Thor returned to their spaces to rest.

"We now know what allows the Bloodbath Spider to be so deadly. Lovely Miss Rae here can adapt her attacks to whatever she is targeting, so it's the most efficient option for destroying it." Karl was explaining to the others.

[Hey, why are you telling them that.] She protested.

[So they can come up with a way to help you make it even stronger.] Karl replied.

She had to think about that for a while, as did the other Elites. _{freēwebnovel.com}

"Can you do it, since you're bonded with her?" Alice asked.

"I can, but not as well as she can." Karl agreed. He couldn't modify his gloves or even his fingernails with the ability like she could her claws and mandibles, but the energy from Rend could be altered to some degree when it was held in a layer over them.

Alice brought up another barrier, and Karl focused for a second before throwing a full strength [Shred] at it.

The spell changed from red to golden as it hit the barrier, and the field filled with golden light as the spell was dissipated.

Pain lanced through Karl's skull, and he cradled his head in his hands.

"It looks like I'm not quite at full recovery yet. The energy draw still makes my head hurt after a single attack. Once the spaces are in better shape, I think that it should be fine. A week, maybe two." He explained.

The others sighed in resignation. They would have to explain that he was injured during a training mishap if he wouldn't be healed before they returned, and they really didn't want to have to fill out the paperwork involved in returning an injured student to the Academy.
