The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1949

Chapter 1949: Push Back

For a moment, Karl was forced onto the defensive, as the Clan Leader of the Divine Fist Devils started to use short ranged skills to avoid blade on blade contact that would cause him to lose more conjured weapons.

But only for a moment.

Once he missed a parry, and realized that the strikes were not dealing enough damage to get past his basic damage ignore effects, Karl saw no reason to go all out protecting himself. With his gear, he had nearly as much health as a low Supreme Ranked dungeon boss, and lacking the Blessing of the Supreme didn’t increase the damage he took, it only reduced the amount he dealt.

So, while Karl parried most of the attacks, he also began to fight back using [Spatial Quake] to prevent his opponent from simply dodging, and the battle turned into a brutal slugfest.

Then Karl remembered that there was a new skill from Skadi that he hadn’t tried yet.

[Greater Regrowth] was an Epic Grade heal over time effect that had a bonus to healing for plant based lifeforms. But it should still be an Epic Grade healing ability for everything else.

He wasn’t taking any actual damage, though he was replacing his barriers regularly.

So, it would look better to the onlookers if he was using a healing ability. That way, they wouldn’t ask too many questions about why he seemed invincible. A tank that could self heal was invincible enough in the minds of most people.

The area glowed with green light, and small plants grew up through the stones of the floor as Karl activated the skill.

In panic, the enemy Guild Leader started to fly, then realized that it wasn’t an area attack, but an area healing ability. One that he couldn’t break with the skills that he had.

This was bad, very bad.

He had thought that he would wear Karl out and win when the Darklight Host leader ran out of mana. But if he cast a long duration heal and let that cover for his barriers while his mana recovered, what would be the point?

He had to do more damage to overcome the healing.

A storm of blades formed behind him, hammering into Karl’s defences in a blinding array of elemental light. Each blade detonated on contact, using a dozen different elements to overcome even the most stubborn of opponents.

Only, Karl didn’t appear injured at all.

If his health had dropped, it had recovered just as fast with that healing spell in effect, and now even Karl was beginning to wonder how long it would last.

[Until you turn it off? Forests take time to heal, you know, you can’t just cast a spell to repair it for a few minutes at a time.] Skadi informed him.

Oh, this was going to be hilarious to use in combat.

"If that’s what you’ve got, you really shouldn’t be challenging people to duels." Karl joked as he launched a flurry of attacks and another [Spatial Quake] at the Supreme.

The detonation hit him in the face, and the last strike nearly took the man’s right arm off, forcing him to switch hands with his blade while Karl continued to press the attack. He knew that he was in trouble, and unlikely to turn this battle around.

But what could he do?

He had issued the challenge, and they would lose everything if they lost the battle. Even the main branch of their Guild had declined to send them help, and had disowned them instead.

It was insane, everything was working against him.
