The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642 Gigantic Ambush

The situation took a drastic turn as the wind began to howl and embers of fire filled the sky. Clouds gathered, turning the noon sky dark, except where it was punctuated with lightning. Then the Hellstorm Vortexes formed, and a keening noise began far above them.

The first Meteors rocketed down through the clouds as Hawk came out to add his own Hellstorm Vortexes to the chaos.

The ethereal blue fire was an odd counterpart to Remi's bright orange flames, and the Overlord Rank Giants began to swear in their own language.

{Where is the Shaman? Make him cancel that.} They were insisting.

Only, there was no Shaman to be found. Cara had exited her space to a spot at the edge of the trees and had crept up on him, Nullifying his counterspells until she could ambush him amidst the confusion.

One of the Giant Overlords swept his blade towards the sky, dispersing a huge portion of Remi's spell, and creating a swathe of clear sky.

The Naga Queen was already exhausted from the spell, and had retreated to her space to recover, but half the spell was still going, and the attack had missed Hawk, who was still actively raining fire on the battle.

Niall reappeared to lodge a blade in the back of the unarmoured head of the leader, then Rae vanished, only to reappear in spider form with all eight limbs stabbed through gaps in a Monarch Ranked Giant's armour.

"Showoff." Karl heard the Rogue mutter as both assassins vanished again, using their skills and movement to find targets that couldn't defend against them.

Dana's Golems marched forward as the Giants tried to reach the core formation, where Karl and Tabitha were forming the front lines with all three of Remi's bodyguards.

Karl took out his blade in one hand, with the Haint Claw on the other, and prepared to delay the Overlords until someone could deal with them.

Ahmad was a Golem Mage, with four Legionnaire styled golems, and they were standing just behind Karl, waiting for the chance to attack around him.

Ophelia had moved to the back of the group, defending against the attempts to encircle them, but Remi's initiative had effectively dealt with the majority of the Royal Rank targets that the berserker would normally be responsible for.

[LOOT!] Cara cheered as she made her way through the back of the Giant force.

[Bring some back for me. I need a nap.] Remi pleaded.

This new spell was great, but it was a one and done sort of deal. She could keep it active for a while, but there was no casting it twice. At least not at early Monarch Rank.

Karl was fighting on the defensive, using his enhanced speed to keep a pair of Overlords at bay as Ahmad and his Golems slowly wore them down.

Tabitha was in a similar situation, but with Niall helping her. That left Remi's bodyguards holding off one more between them. Despite the early casualties, the Giants were beginning to close in on the human force, and even Hawk and Remi's bombardment wasn't enough to completely stop them.

"Any brilliant plans, Beast Master?" Tabitha asked as she was nearly knocked to her knees by her opponent.

"Give me a moment, they're running out of reinforcements." Karl called back, hoping to distract one of his targets for long enough to take advantage.

Between Rae and Cara, they really were running short on reinforcements. The Giants had no way to deal with an invisible Bloodbath Spider that was incorporeal and immune to brute strength.

They had attack skills that could hurt her, but they had to find her first.

Suddenly, the target to Karl's left howled in pain, then gurgled as his throat filled with blood.

He downed a healing potion, then turned to attack behind him, looking for Rae. The spider had stabbed him in the throat then run away, giving Karl a chance to attack.
