The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483 Enraged

The second and third groups both had a mage with them, copying Dana in appearance, but they could only use a water bolt spell.

That made them manageable, but they were still doing fairly impressive damage to the barriers.

"Your barrier ability is too strong. They can't hurt us at all. How are we supposed to be learning anything?" The female Orc asked.

"Do Orcs learn best with pain and not practice?" Karl replied.

They all nodded, as if that should have been obvious, and Karl had Thor take the barrier off them, while leaving it on Dana and Ophelia.

There was no need to make his team suffer just because the Orcs were stubborn.

The next group fight actually went better, as after they had taken a few hits, the Orcs began to adapt their tactics and deal damage more efficiently to the monsters.

It was a fascinating change, even if it did start an argument between Cara and Rae as to whether an entire species could be masochists.

The eventual consensus was that the evidence supported the hypothesis, and the Orcs might actually need the pain in order to function, which might be directly related to the reason that they were constantly looking for a fight. Without it, they weren't at their best, so casting a numbing spell, or using a numbing poison, on them might be the equivalent to torture in addition to crippling their combat skills.

Then, they were at the first boss, or what passed for it in this dungeon. It looked just like the other slimes, but when they stepped on the platform, a timer started.

[Enrage in 1.00.00]

[Enrage in 59.00]

"One minute to burn the boss down." Karl explained, in case the Orcs couldn't read.

He finally took his maul out, and stacked [Disintegrate] on it to deal with the threat.

The boss was mid-Commander Rank, and as durable as the monsters here had proven to be, there was a good chance that the thing might actually survive a regular hit with Bone Crusher or another ability that wasn't stacked.

Karl's hit caused the boss to splatter, and an announcement appeared above the platform. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

[Member Karl has completed the challenge.]

[9/10 members remaining]

The Orcs laughed and lined up for their turns to attack the boss. It was the most ridiculous thing that Karl had ever seen inside a dungeon, and he wondered if his attempt to help had broken something within the system.

If the clerics had to deal with an enrage timer, they might have a very hard time defeating this creature. Well, maybe not Tessa, who could actually fight quite well, but Lotus wasn't known for her offensive output.

She did have a [Thorned Vines] spell, thanks to Karl, but she rarely used it, and he didn't even know how much damage it did. The spell was primarily used for crowd control, to keep enemies from running around.

The female Orc valiantly hacked at the beast for the full minute, while also needing to be healed four times, but didn't beat the timer. The creature increased in strength and size by about a quarter, and now she was struggling to fight it alone.

"Maybe we just need someone to get the killing blow on it?" Ophelia suggested as she realized that the boss had hardly taken any damage.

"Good idea. Everyone help her out, and I will reset the timer if needed by killing the boss again." Karl offered.
