The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 904

Chapter 904 Totems Lead The Force

The revenants and the ghouls were nothing like the zombie horde. Not only were they much faster and stronger, they were also vaguely intelligent.

They didn't mindlessly lumber forward into traps or into Thor's [Lightning Zone]. They were smart enough to go around the visibly dangerous areas at the very least. Plus, they had good enough senses that they did at least attempt to defend themselves against the thrown spears.

The silent battlefield became suddenly deafening as the Revenants began to leap the moat and clash with the Orcish defenders. Blades met claws or the corroded blades left from the Revenants' past lives, and Lotus increased the radius of her Tree of Life effect to spill out over the moat.

Like Thor's [Consecrated Ground] ability, simply standing in the aura was enough to damage and destroy the invaders, who were not all durable enough to endure.

While there were countless Overlords in the undead army, the majority of the numbers were made up of Commander and Royal Rank undead. Those died in droves, but they provided cover for the stronger undead behind them. Chief Snakebite watched the flames sear the souls of the incorporeal undead away with a smile. "You are a good man to have in a fight. Your team can fight with anything. Normally, we need to call for more Shamans when they send Ghosts and Haints. But how does a spider stab a spectre?" Karl just shrugged. "She believes that it can be stabbed, so it can be stabbed. But she can also make herself incorporeal, so there might be some sort of interaction there."

The Orc nodded in satisfaction. That was good enough for him. Much of the world's magic worked because you believed that it did. At least, in the opinion of an Orcish Chieftain that wasn't particularly magically inclined.

The density of undead near them was increasing, so Karl began to use a larger radius explosion on the [Void Blast] infused arrows to keep them off the walls.

Remi and the local shaman were working together to create a flame storm around the village walls, a burning blizzard with stronger than usual winds. They had started it twenty metres from the moat so that it wouldn't affect the spear throwing, but even with Remi's power level, that wasn't enough to stop any but the weakest of enemies.

If they wanted to do that, she was going to have to use [Thunderstorm] or [Apocalypse].

Naga Swamp was a great spell in the proper setting, but it only created a radius around Remi, and the shape couldn't be altered. While defending a village, that would just make a mess.

But today, the undead were surrounding the village, though no more portals had opened since the first batch, and repeated casts of [Hellstorm] through the existing portals only slowed the influx for a few minutes.

Karl looked out over the battlefield and saw a pair of Overlord Ranked Necromancers marching through the portals with an escort of Death Knights, and a black robed demon of some sort.

No, that wasn't a Demon, that was Rae, walking between them like she was part of their team, and the Necromancers hadn't realized that their formation had been infiltrated yet.

They stopped and raised their hands, bringing a wave of magic to the battlefield with a grand spell that was melting the flesh from the dead zombies, and slowly raising them as skeletons.

Rae watched silently as the Necromancers got halfway through the spell. Then, with a Dagger in either hand, she stabbed them both through the heart, killing them both instantly, which caused the half formed skeletons to crumble to ash, while the Death Knights stared at her in shock for a second, then kneeled before her.

"Did the spider just gain a retinue of Death Knights?" Chieftain Snakebite asked.

"I think so? They look like they intend to follow her, don't they?" Karl agreed.

Whoever was still alive on the other side of those portals was going to lose their minds when they realized that they had just sent three Overlords into a trap because they assumed that all the Undead should be on their team. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
