The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493 Tier 4 Skills

Tier 4 Offensive Skills ? Only One May Be Chosen

{50pts} [Devastate] Strikes dealing more than ten percent of the target's health do double damage.

{50pts} [Overwhelming Presence] Causes a {Terror} type debuff that causes affected targets to become paralyzed for 5 seconds, plus 10 seconds per Rank difference between caster and target.

{50pts} [Rampage] Every time an enemy is damaged by the Beast Master or a bonded beast, increase the damage done by the Beast Master or the bonded beast for one minute.

There were over a dozen greyed out attack skills, which were only available to an attack specialist Beast master, but there were three core skills that Karl could use.

[Rampage] Cara and Remi demanded at the same time.

[Devastate] Rae insisted. She hit hard, and double damage stabbing sounded better than slowly stacking damage.

[I want to see them pee themselves when they see us.] Hawk recommended.

That did have a certain appeal to it. Making them too terrified to even move as they were slaughtered could be interesting.

The real problem was that they could only choose one, and it was fifty points. Karl probably didn't have that many.

They could most likely get [Trollish Regeneration] from the defence skills tree, though. That would be a fun skill to have.

Bodyguards and Golems with Trollish Regeneration seemed like it would be a most excellent prank to play on people. Even after the barriers broke, and the enemy hacked a limb off, they could just pick it up and let it reattach itself.

It would be hilarious.

Karl did his best not to laugh at their antics as they settled in for dinner with the Trollish farmers telling stories of mundane events on the farm. It actually made the trolls feel much more relatable, with the same concerns he had at home. Earth Mice getting into the cupboards, stoves that didn't heat evenly, long hours and insufficient pay. Even if you were a troll, a worker was a worker. They didn't have any of the technological items that Karl was used to, but it wasn't all that different in lived experience.

The older man had his boys seated slightly behind him, a precaution in case Karl's group wasn't actually friendly, and the trio smiled as Lotus and Tessa began adding chunks of meat and cheese from their inventory into the rice and bean stew.

The pot would normally be too much for just the eight of them, but Trolls should have a big appetite after a long day of travelling.

The pot that Tessa had chosen was a pressure cooker with a locking lid, and while the whistling was a bit annoying, to the trolls it was the sound of good things to come.

Cheesy rice and beans didn't sound all that great, Karl thought. But Lotus was happy to add spices to anything, and it came out much better than anticipated. It made a moderately spicy gumbo style stew, short on meat but thick and filling.

The church kitchen would never serve something like that, but it proved to be a huge hit with the trolls, and Karl could see the wistful looks that those further away were giving them.
