The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1721

Chapter 1721: Hunting Packs

With the golems in position, the group moved out from the boss’s clearing, this time not sending Hawk and Rae ahead to gather everything.

The enemies were arranged in hunting teams, and the wolverines would be harder to find, hidden in the underbrush. So, they would make their way to the next boss in the conventional manner, and see what came up.

The Golems were in a defensive formation around them, while the Elders prepared to be ambushed from the trees.

Not that the hellhounds could climb them. But they were strong and fast enough to use them as a springboard, and leap from dozens of metres away to land in the middle of a formation while the Kobolds attacked the outer flanks.

And that was exactly what happened.

"Incoming." Elder Alix called as the growls of hellhounds filled the air.

They were already mid-leap, too late for anyone to change what came next.

Great gouts of fire hit the hastily erected [Bulwark] barrier over the team, which the hellhounds clawed and snapped at as they slid to the ground.

Then the arrows from Kobold archers began, and Dana whistled to warn the others that she was giving a command to her Golems. They spread out to engage the hellhounds, while Oathbreaker and the Lich Lords from both Karl and Rae’s teams engaged the Rangers.

Alix had given up on his sword, and had actually switched to a bow now, an unusual concession for a warrior, who would normally just go chase the targets.

However, with the number of Golems, it was easier to target around them than to try to fit between them. Then, the howling started to pull more groups, which was not how the dungeon was supposed to go.

The hounds and their Kobold handlers would only come one group at a time, if you didn’t move to engage, but they could hear the howling in the distance coming closer.

"I swear, you can’t enter a dungeon without something strange happening." Elder Socrate sighed as he formed a thunderstorm overhead.

"What fun would it be if we had so many Golems and only fought a half dozen hounds at a time? Besides, this is so much more efficient. We didn’t even have to go get them." Opal joked.

"Put up an illusion so that they’re not going to jump right into the middle of our group, would you?

I don’t know about you, but I’m not much of a tank."

The tiny Fae laughed. She wouldn’t even be a mouthful for the hounds. If she was attacked, being swallowed whole and needing to fight her way back out was a very real threat.

"They’re coming from every side." Dana noted. "Just how many groups of hounds and kobolds are there supposed to be in here?"

"Thirty or so?"

"Not going to panic a little?" The Alchemist asked. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
