The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434 The Real MVP Of The Guild War

The blue tabard wearing Demon Guild Alliance members quickly rallied as Karl brought up all his buffs.

This time there was no alarm, possibly because there was already a Guild War going on. But the members of the blue faction were looking terrified to see Karl standing there.

"How about you run away and go fetch your Champion?" Karl suggested.

A young woman, dressed in black leather armour that Karl associated with a Rogue, nodded numbly, then threw a smoke bomb on the ground and fled with a movement skill.

Most likely Shadow Step.

"Sir, you're with us? Why didn't you identify yourself on the road? We would have greeted you with full honours." The Acolyte whispered as she got out of the carriage to heal the wounded guards.

"I am not from here. I'm not even certain where this is. So, I had no intentions of getting in the middle of anything, until the war notification came up." They waited at the gates, with Rae on the wall above the gates, crafting a comfortable web to wait in, while Hawk scouted the city overhead.

One of the guards from the carriage looked at Karl with concern. "Are you really going to wait right here for their champion to arrive with his bodyguards? We should be headed for the safe house."

Karl waved. "Go, get to the safe house and I will wait for their Champion. It's not like any of you are ready to get in the middle of what comes next."

The guard nodded, and they abandoned the carriage to run off through the city, headed for whatever safe house they had prepared.

A few minutes later, a warrior in black plate armour and a demonic mask jogged into Karl's sight. He stopped five metres away and glared down at Karl.

He was a solid 250 centimetres tall, and built a lot like Professor Tank, huge in every direction.

He was also definitely a Monarch Rank warrior.

"Does this place have a warrior fetish? Did you not think that maybe a mage or two might be useful?" Karl asked.

A few of the bodyguards with him laughed, but the Champion simply continued to glare at Karl.

"The Darklight Host thinks that some little kid with his pet lizard can take the city from me?" He eventually demanded.

"I will have you know that he is the goodest of good boys. And I didn't come here to take the city from you, your boys declared war while I was bringing refugees to the guard station. But now that it is started, we might as well get things settled. It would have been a shame if I had to flatten the city to find you."

[I can still do it.] Hawk reminded him. The buildings weren't reinforced, a single barrage of fireballs would level half the city.

The huge man suddenly launched himself at Karl, who drew his two-handed sword to parry and activated all his buffs.

Then he cast [Chain Lightning] to slow the Monarch Rank warrior's reactions.

The lightning hit an instant before the two blades clashed in a flurry of sparks as [Flaming Body] met a [Flaming Blade] ability.

The two men were at a stalemate, and the majority of the bodyguards began to circle around Karl, looking for an opening, while four of them went to block Thor and Remi from joining the battle.

But they quickly learned that Thor's bags were the perfect platform for Totems, and that a Lightning Cerro was not easy to deal with when he was backed against a wall. Especially a wall that fronted a room full of children he wanted to protect.

Karl broke away from the stalemate of locked blades, and darted backwards before lashing out with [Bone Crusher]. The warrior on his right took the strike on his shield, stopping the blade with ease, but [Shatter] and [Sharpness] took effect, and the shield split clean in half. The man dropped to the ground, spitting blood and cradling a pulverized arm. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

"Oh, you're a dirty little weasel, aren't you, Darklight Scum?" The Champion snarled.

"You have no idea." Karl replied as he stepped away from the guard station and put his back to the city, moving further into the gates.

[Hawk, find where the blue tabard team is fighting the Darklight Host and bombard any reinforcements they try to send this way. Just distract their stronger fighters. Don't hurt the city.]

Karl fell into a defensive stance, and the warriors moved forward again. That was when Rae summoned her Golems behind the Champion, letting them lash out at his back.

He responded almost faster than Karl could track, parrying the first four leg strikes as Karl switched to his maul and stacked [Chain Lightning] five times.

But he didn't go for the back of the champion as everyone expected him to. Instead, he went for a Rogue type fighter, crushing his chest, which let [Chain Lightning] spread through the whole group, and brought half the warriors to their knees as Karl moved to attack again.

The Champion intercepted him, forcing Karl into a stalemate for a second time, before the Monarch's superior speed let him break free and land a hit on Karl's barriers.
