The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Minotaur Steel

Karl joined the fight just before the farmers who had run after the retreating group, hoping that they might either rescue or recruit another group for their fight. The relief was visible on the faces of the defenders, and Karl called Remi out to toss a couple of [Healing Splash] spells onto the worst injured members of the Minotaur Clan.

None of them appeared to be dead, at least not here at this house, and a bit of healing was all it took to close their largest wounds.

Unfortunately, Healing Splash wasn't an instant whole body heal unless Remi soaked them in it, or got the spell inside them somehow. It would leak in through the cuts, and spread through the body when it stayed in contact, but that wasn't nearly as fast as a Cleric's minor heal spell.

She had been preparing for this situation, with a number of vials of healing potion. Hawk had made the containers for her with flames and sand, and she was delighted with them. The bottles even had their logo on it, a Naga with a Hawk on her shoulder.

Remi had made the logo out of clay, and Hawk had set the vials on it to cool, imprinting it on the bottom of the potion bottles.

"Open up. There you go, and one for you and for you."

Remi took mental notes of how long it took for the potion to start working, as she had never made someone drink a diluted Healing Splash before.

Her pleasure that she had found a way to run experiments that she couldn't get in trouble for was clear through the link with Karl, but he was busy with other tasks, and didn't have the time to praise her ingenuity.

He had hit both of the Copper Drakes with Rend already, and they had moved away from where Dana was fighting the third member of their flight. But they were retreating to hundreds of metres in the air, giving them plenty of time to dodge Karl's attacks, so he had to chase them with the skills.

It took far longer than it should have, as they were incredibly agile flyers. But Karl had a lot of practice controlling his skills, and with dozens of deadly arcs of energy chasing them, the monsters were taking steady damage, no matter how hard they fought to avoid his attacks.

[See, not as easy as you thought.] Cara laughed as she sensed Karl's frustration.

[Change of tactics.] Karl agreed.

Arrows with Disintegration on them were much easier to work with, and the targeting enchantment on the bow did half the work for him.

The first shot was a direct heart shot, as the drake was already trying to avoid the Rend attacks, and the second was not off by much, punching a clean hole through the drake's rear hip and out its back.

It howled in pain, but the effect hadn't been set to spread on contact, so it was a clean injury that the Drake would be able to heal with a few minutes of effort.

However, when the next arrow came, the Drake caught it with a smug smile on its draconic face.

Until the [Disintegration] spell exploded and removed the front half of its body.

[That's cheating. You can't just trick them into holding a bomb to kill them.] Cara complained.

[No, I think that he's on to something. Watching stupid monsters explode is kind of fun.] Hawk countered.

Karl let the beasts argue as he began to fire at the Sand Yeti, taking out the last few who had started to flee.

If they were left alone, they were a threat to other farms and homesteads. That shouldn't actually concern Karl, but it was still the right thing to do.

Dana finished her Drake and landed next to Karl as Thor and the clerics finally arrived. They started right in on the healing process, helping the farmers recover.
