The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1591

Chapter 1591: Plague Spawn

Karl moved to engage the massively oversized plague demon.

The creature dwarfed everyone in the group except him, and might have actually been larger than the other dragons, even if they had transformed. At least by pure mass.

Karl’s claws raked down the front of the demon, and its rotting flesh split open to disgorge dozens of smaller demons, hardly larger than a goblin, but bloated and covered in toxic slime.

With their small army of undead, the summoned creatures quickly moved to keep the new additions from attacking the group, while everyone else focused on trying to damage the boss.

While staying away from the stomach.

The last thing that they wanted was to continually add more monsters to the fight, no matter how much it actually damaged the boss.

The rest of the hide was extremely durable and thick, but the belly was bloated and cracked, the obvious spot to attack, if not for the fact that the demon seemed to be filled with smaller demons, and they were slowly crawling out of the wounds that Karl had made.

[It’s like someone popped a spider egg sack.] Rae laughed.

That was actually an apt description, the way that the smaller plague demons were spawning out of the body of the larger boss.

Then, as suddenly as they started, the flow stopped.

[Got it. It’s a skill, not a body full of them. Nullify is keeping them under control.] Cara announced.

Leo mentally cheered as he realized that these would now be an option for Epic Golem summons. They were kind of stinky, but they had a skill to make more stinky things, and that would chase away anything that wanted to bother him.

He hadn’t mastered that spell yet, but if Karl taught him later he was sure that he could do it.

Karl had to admit that they would be a great option for many other situations. They were gross, but they spread a plague effect, and they could spawn summoned plague demons.

Perfect for mass area control.

Other than that, the damage done by this boss was kind of sad. It had a toxic breath attack, a tentacle arm whip, and that was about it. The real danger was in being overrun by the mob spawn, and the massive amount of damage that it could take.

This was a whole new type of demon to them, so there was no advantage from [Predation] until they had been fighting it for a while. They had some damage stacked up from [Rampage], but the damage reduction of the boss was slowing the effects of even that.

"This is insane! How much damage are we going to have to do to this thing before it starts actually getting seriously injured?" One of the Lycans complained.

"We’re a quarter of the way through its health. We will get there." Dana insisted.

In retrospect, that was the wrong thing to say.

Moments later, the boss began to activate more skills, starting with an area [Gravity Slam] that nearly depleted the barriers on all the constructs and wiped out most of Opal’s illusions.

He was also immune to poison, so Opal’s Toxic Fog was doing nothing.

The butterfly abandoned the tactic and put more into her illusionary army, which was helping to deal with the last of the added demons.

The Plage Demon’s tentacle whip suddenly grew spikes, and a wave of Golems went flying, even with [Auto Parry] active.

They took minimal damage, but the knock back effect was not negated by the parry.

Take the time to eat as well. The refreshing ability will keep your stamina up, but it doesn’t cancel hunger." Karl warned.

Swag nodded. "Good call. I knew that I wasn’t making a mistake to give you the group leader role. Now, what is for lunch? I’ve got sandwiches from the cafeteria if anyone wants to trade."

The Lycans laughed at the antics of the Clan’s Moron, but Karl patted him on the shoulder.

"Fear not. We have a Mystic Cook on staff, and I prepared for this outing. We’ve got a full spread to go with your sandwiches. Or you can just have soup and sandwiches for lunch.

Or is this a midnight snack?"

They had been at dinner when they got the news, and they’d been in the dungeon for hours already. It certainly wasn’t early in the evening anymore.

"Doesn’t matter what we call it. But do you have any more of those cupcakes? One appeared in my pocket the last time that I visited, and it was amazing."

Karl winked at him. "I will give the chef your compliments. Yes, we have more. What flavour did you get?"

[And what did Cara find in your pockets?] Tian joked.

[Nothing, or she wouldn’t have given him the poverty token cupcake of sympathy.] Rae laughed. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

[Sister Rae knows.] Leo agreed.

Sister Rae was wise. Plus, her undead were pretty cool. He wouldn’t mind having a whole bunch of sharks to go with his Crocolisks, but Undead didn’t seem right.
