The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 890

Chapter 890 Imbalanced Skillset

Karl began to draw on the mana storage totem that he had been making when he left for the battle, letting his own mana regenerate so that he didn't reduce any of the beasts' supply.

Cara had no such issue, she was much more mana efficient with her innate skill than Karl was, and the butterfly had made her invisible, so the Undead had to guess where the explosions were coming from as she flew around the battlefield.

Among the group, only Rae was in a bad mood. Skeletons had no bodily fluids at all, so she couldn't make them blow up. Smashing them into tiny bits was a small consolation when she had been looking forward to using [Blood Destruction] on a large scale.

Maybe next time they would find nice juicy zombies.

No, that would smell terrible. There was bound to be something better than skeletons among the Undead hordes. At least her [Demonic Oppression] skill muted the magic of the constructs, slowing them and reducing the power of their attack skills.

Most of them were Royal Rank, with scattered Monarchs among them. Only a very few were Overlords, and those were mostly the Death Knights leading groups. But that made her new [Entangling Vines] skill, obtained from the Orcish Druids, much more fun. She could throw down a large net of web, then raise vines to tear apart the trapped skeletons while she stabbed the strong ones.

The Lich Lord was beginning to weaken, and some of the spells had managed to disintegrate portions of its robe.

That was when Karl summoned his Golems.

The dull imitations of Hawk might not have any of his skills, but Karl coated them in [Ghostfire Body] without any issue, and they began to dive bomb the Lich Lord, who was already struggling to avoid annihilation.

The sudden change in tactics was too much for the Undead, and a single arrow made it through its barriers, exploding within the bone cage of its chest. That created a link back to the Haint Claw, and the battle between Karl and the Lich Lord turned into a tug of war for its soul.

Karl focused all his attention on the Haint Claw, working to tear the soul from the undead, while the Lich Lord took blow after blow from Cara and the Golems.

The Golems didn't do much but distract it, but that was all they needed to do. Each slip cost it a bit more of its power, until the bone construct of the Lich Lord's body collapsed and the ghostly image of a Pirate Lord appeared in the air.

{No, I will not allow this.} The Lich Lord roared, and then charged Karl, slamming into his body in an attempt to merge and possess him.

That was the moment that the Lich Lord learned what true terror was. A glowing golden scale floated in the void of Karl's mental space, and the centuries old Undead Lord felt its very essence destabilizing. Then, a ghostly butterfly appeared from one of the linked mental spaces, and gently brushed against him.
