The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1005

Karl called the Lamia Bodyguards, and Dana brought back her golems as additional guards. That should slow down anything that might consider attacking them in the dark.

With a pair of Totem Ranked Lamia at the hut, they were likely to be the strongest things in the area.

"You look like you've got big plans for the night." Dana noted as she led Karl to the reproduction of their bedroom in the Tiny World's house.

"Rae pointed out that if you could use her Spectral Knights, you would have a whole army of master blade wielders to fight on your side. But you're incompatible with the Necromantic Magic. So, I was thinking of something more like a Terracotta Army. A complement to your existing Golems and Greater Golems."

Dana smiled. "I have a skill in my skill tree that is along those lines, but not quite as impressive. It's called [Blade Spirits], and it will advance my [Blade Swarm] skill to pick targets on its own with ethereal spirits. I'm only a few points short of being able to use it."

Karl frowned. "Isn't that one attack per conjured blade, though?"

Dana giggled softly and rolled her eyes at him. "Even Skills from an advanced class aren't intended to be everything you could ever want all in one package. Sure, I'd have to call more of them once they attacked, but that's still a massive amount of damage.

Plus, I can leave the blade swarm in place until I'm ready to counterattack, and [Auto Parry] will let them block incoming attacks.

That's hard on the mana usage. But if we're being attacked by multiple enemies, I can continually control the blades on my own to keep them away. It's a failsafe in combat, since I'm usually the closest to Lotus.

That isn't the biggest issue we have right now, though, is it?

You're two full Ranks above the rest of us, except Nachtia. And given whatever happened to your constitution, you might as well be considered halfway to Mythic already. There isn't any realistic chance that we're going to be able to fight in one cohesive group for much longer.

Once the beasts start to advance, we will be totally left behind, and operating as two different groups who happen to be in one spot."

Karl picked her up and then flopped back onto the bed. "You're right. I didn't get to go into details, but while we were apart, I was attacked by a group of mercenaries, who had taken up a bounty placed by Lord Bomgon.

A full raiding group of Totems. Ten to be specific. And if they hadn't run away to save their surviving members after I killed the healer, it would likely have been a draw. Sure, they weren't anything particularly impressive, and they all used Death Magic. But if I had Rae and Cara at Totem Rank with me, it would have been a massacre.

I don't want to separate like that, though.

There has to be something that I can do that will bring our power levels closer together again so that we can keep travelling and adventuring together."

Dana gave him a sad smile. "And that's why you're trying to come up with overpowered new spells. So that if I can make it to Overlord Rank, I will be so far beyond the average that I won't feel like I'm holding you back.
