The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627 Sparring With Rae

Rae was delighted that the Overlord had not forgotten his side of their deal. Now, she was a Monarch, and only one Rank beneath him, so it should be a good sparring opportunity.

"So, which form would you like to practice in first?" Niall asked.

"I think human first. It should be easier to learn your tricks if I'm in the same shape you are. Then we can go all out when I'm in spider form with golems." Rae suggested.

Niall nodded and launched his first attacks, as Rae activated [Night Haunter] and extended her fingernails out into proper claws to parry his attacks.

The Overlord Rank Rogue tracked her movements with ease and Rae had to slip away using her web to keep him from getting behind her.

He could also step on air the same way that Dana did, meaning that even moving to the ceiling didn't put her out of his range. But the human was also faster than she was, and they were both constantly using movement skills to flit around the room.

To the Commander in the security office, it looked like the room was filled with shadows and smoke, as the combatants were moving faster than the recording cameras. Someone in the upper ranks was going to be extremely disappointed that they couldn't get a recording of the battle, but with the skills of stealth type classes, recordings were normally useless even if they weren't this fast.

After five minutes, a bell rang, and the combatants returned to the centre of the room, breathing heavily.

"How do you see me?" Rae asked, confused about her inability to hide. [Night Haunter] should make her invisible to both normal and thermal vision.

"I have [Presence Sense], and I'm a Rank over you. Unless you can completely hide your aura and life signs, you won't be able to hide from me.

But what is that skill you are using? I've never encountered anything like it. It's stealth and movement at the same time, and something more. Unless you have a separate skill that is making you incorporeal and immune to regular damage."

Rae shook her head. "It's all one skill. Night Haunter. It's not really a movement skill, though. It only lets me move my whole body to places I can see or touch. But it counts my silk as part of me until I detach it. So, I can weave a web and then move around the room with ease."

"And the transformation, is that you, or are you still using the token from Newbon?"

"That's all me. I put in many hours of effort to make a babysitter form for dealing with small humans. It is quite effective."

Overlord Niall chuckled. "Do you think that you will do better in spider form?"

Rae looked around the room, then frowned and shook her head.

"No, I'm too large for my extra speed to matter. I might be able to land a strike or two with my legs, but I won't be able to win without much more space."

"Then let's keep practising. Maybe you can learn one of my attack skills."

Really, Niall was determined to learn more about Night Haunter, and he could feel that Karl's training skill was active on both of them. Chances for an Overlord to learn a new skill were few and far between, so he would make the best of his night with Lady Rae Bloodbath.
