The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Witry Mages

The ten mages were quietly joking with each other as Karl entered the arena space.

"A warrior? They think that a Royal Rank warrior can take the ten of us? We might as well have made a pair's challenge." One of the boys joked.

"He sure is confident for a little herbivore of a man." The girl beside him added.

[Make that one a smashing post.] Thor insisted, offended by the insult to his food choices.

"Are we ready?" The Mage team leader asked. Karl had initially thought his name was Witry, but that was also the name of a country north of the Hill Giant Nation, next to the Drake Riders' island. So, it was most likely addressing him by origin nation, not name.

Karl slung the maul over his shoulder and nodded. The mages began casting their spells as he brought up [Eternal Lightning] [Flaming Body] and [Circle of Protection] all at once, then cast [Blizzard] at Royal Rank, while Remi started a [Thunderstorm].

[Don't use Totems, they will ask too many questions.] Karl insisted as he launched himself forward.

The closest mages were caught off guard, and the girl who had insulted Thor's love of plants was sent flying with a sickening crunch as Karl's shoulder slammed into her chest.

The Lightning shock from his barrier shattered her defensive spells, and her robes didn't even slow his momentum. The maul, with only a coating of [Flaming Body], shattered the thigh of the boy beside her, and he crumpled to the ground as the caustic rain began to fall and thunder echoed through the arena.

Karl tossed out [Chain Lightning], stunning the mages closest to him, before he moved toward the back of the arena, where the majority of the mages had gathered.

He raised his hand to aim Chain Lightning, an unnecessary little mental trick, but Rae used it as a cue to be dramatic, and began firing bullet - sized stones from near the palm of Karl's hand, spraying them into the remaining mages, who struggled to keep their barriers up.

A [Fireball] came flying at Karl, and Hawk blocked it with a [Wind Barrier], stopping it half a metre away.

"Shit, it's not a warrior. He's a Shaman with a hammer." One of the mages was cursing.

Karl could see the frustration of his teammates. They all knew that already, but there was nothing they could do about it as Karl deactivated the spells on his maul and cricket swatted one of the mages who had hit the ground to avoid the rocks.

The hammer hit him in the stomach, broke his barrier, and sent him flying across the arena.

Karl put his head down and charged another mage, while Thor cheered in his mind. The mighty smash was the true best attack. Now, if only Karl had proper horns.

"Enough!" The leader of the mage team shouted, right as Karl found himself wrapped in a barrier.

Five stacks of [Flaming Body] surged from the maul as Karl moved the few centimetres he could, but the barrier only shimmered and fluctuated for a second before stabilizing.

Then it was gone, and Niall had a hand on his shoulder.

"That's good enough, son. They got the message." The Inquisitor insisted.
