The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 965

Chapter 965 Rescue The Dwarves

Karl leapt over a ruined building and found two Ogres standing over a dead Dwarven Earth Mage. That should be one of the Council Members, and apparently no match for whatever groups of Ogres he had found.

But he was also fighting mostly alone, and not with a large group, as Karl had been.

Rae [Shadow Stepped] to the corpse, and hurled it at Lotus, then went incorporeal as a massive fist descended towards her.

The activation of [Leviathan] made Karl nearly six metres tall when fully buffed, and he smiled as he slung his sword over his shoulder, while making a rude gesture with the Haint Claw on his other hand.

"What do you say, gentlemen? Think you can take me two on one?"

The Ogres charged and Karl sidestepped as fast as he could, blurring in the monsters' vision as his blade cut deep into the side of the closest Ogre before he stabbed the clawed fingers of his free hand into the wound.

[Soul Steal] began to drain the monster's vitality as the Ogres swung backhanded attacks at Karl, who was still moving. He charged between them, focusing his attacks on the same Ogre over and over as his blade shrieked through the air.

To the watching Dwarves, it looked like a streak of blue fire in the air as the blade spun, parried and attacked, all too fast for most to accurately track.

Remi came over to watch the battle, and contribute a steady stream of [Chain Lightning] attacks to the effort. She needed a skill at Totem Rank, but she just couldn't seem to grasp the difference, even though she was looking right at it as Karl used [Void Blast] on every strike.

[Watch, Sister. This is how you do it.] Rae announced, then appeared behind one of the Ogres and began systematically dismantling its back muscles.

The Ogre was rapidly being flayed alive, and her bladed legs no longer seemed to have any issues cutting through the thick hide.

{Skill Master 5 Activation} [Offensive Adaptation] has evolved.

{Totem Rank Epic Grade Skill [Predation] Gained}

[Predation] Passive Skill. The user has become a natural-born predator of everything they see. Increases damage significantly with every strike against a known target type. Bypasses a portion of the target's damage reduction.

(Ooh, the Stabby sister learned a new trick. That's pretty impressive.} Remi agreed.

Unfortunately, it either didn't spread to her, or it only worked on melee attacks, and not skills. There was a good way to test it.

Remi sent her Naga bodyguards to engage the Ogres, and they landed a few strikes, which were doing increasing amounts of damage. But not nearly enough to think that they were ignoring the Totem Rank damage reduction. Rae laughed at the effort. Predation was only a melee attack skill when used by her. It was part of her body, so if she attacked with her limbs, it was a Totem Ranked attack. But it didn't apply to blades or skills the same way. So, for others, it was nothing more than a damage buff.

Even her Golems didn't get the full benefit. They weren't spider enough, she assumed.

Karl landed three more quick strikes on the Ogre, and the last one carved a deep furrow across its belly, and massive bleeding.

The Ogre retreated, and Karl turned his attention to the other, which was currently trying to catch Rae using some sort of flaming club attack.
