The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077: Let The Man Work

Hugo laughed at the expressions of the mages in the Alliance. That would have been his thought as well, had he not seen it in action. A Totem defeating a Myth was simply something that didn’t happen.

It shouldn’t happen.

It would disrupt the entire power balance of the Dragon Isles if Totems could routinely defeat Myths, or if Overlords could defeat Totems. The damage reduction was too powerful of a buff.

But it was undeniable that the System recognized it, as a few of the Mages had pulled up his list of titles, and found that there were indeed three Guild Champion titles, with Over Rank Victory notes.

And the latest wasn’t even two days ago.

Hugo’s expression turned contemplative as he finished laughing.

"You know, it would be a good exercise for them to get to spar with you. It’s not often that we’re challenged by other Alliances, but it’s incredibly rare that anyone trains in advance to fight against other System users." He suggested.

"Like self-defence training? That’s not a terrible idea. Guild Challenges might be infrequent, but they’ll be even more infrequent when the others know that your Guild is prepared.

A challenge is their peak against your peak, or representatives at a designated Rank.

But what if the challenge is refused?

That happened to us in Drodh, but the attacking Guild wasn’t prepared when we launched an artillery strike on their Guild House." Karl explained, and the mages all paled.

That was absolutely horrific.

Forget the Rank differences, the Guild Houses normally housed entire families, servants and other noncombatants. The mere thought that someone would bombard one when the Challenge was refused was enough to terrify many of them.

Others recognized that it was the attacking Guild who had been bombarded, and while it was still horrific, they had brought it upon themselves.

Then there was the third group.

"What do you mean, bombarded? Isn’t the Darklight Host a tiny guild? I only see four members at Totem Rank or higher when I search the Guild listings." One of the mages asked.

"One of my bonded partners is a Ghostfire Thunderbird." Karl began, while the mage nodded eagerly.

"Ghostfire is brutal, and he should have the ability to create a rain of fire, right?" The mage asked.

"As well as a meteor storm and flaming vortexes." Karl agreed.

The mage whistled. "That’s just brutal. Most of us struggle against flying targets, as they can just retreat to a safer distance, and the spell travel time lets them dodge unless we focus on tracking them."

Karl smiled. "There are a few spells with no travel time, but yes. Generally, it’s hard to hit a target thousands of metres away unless it can’t move. Hawk tends to take it personally if someone actually manages to hit him."

The mage chuckled. "You named a Ghostfire Thunderbird ’Hawk’? I like your style, Monster Man."
