The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1183: They’ve Got Your Back

The rest of the Golems joined the pair of Epic Golems, while the Epic Guard remained back to protect Dana from anything that might make it close enough to threaten her from behind.

Four Golems and a pair of Earth Elemental Champions at the Overlord Rank would make her a priority target among the Bunga defence force very quickly.

Assuming that the enemy understood what was happening.

Fortunately, she had the Orcs on her side, and even without a System interface, they hadn’t had any problems reaching higher ranks through pure dedication. They were happy to have a proper fight, but it was even better when they got comedy with it.

The Earth Elemental Champions weren’t actually very agile, so Auto Parry was only minimally effective. But one of them had just parried a fireball from a flying dragon, making it explode in the air overhead.

That made the big guys a whole city worth of new friends in one fight.

If Rae was here, she could create a whole army of undead, but Dana was satisfied with the force that she had managed to create.

The Golems served as the vanguard of the Bunga City counterattack, driving deep into the enemy lines, and allowing the defenders to push in behind them and get at the juicy meat.

Also known as the Clerics and Shamans that the enemy had tried to protect in the middle of their formation.

Hawk was fully engaged in a dogfight with a pair of Sand Dragons, but Dana couldn’t see Cara. She didn’t realize that the Chaos Badger had never left the ground again after she had landed, or that she was most of the reason that the Golems were able to advance so quickly.

Cara was in heaven today. None of the armour on the dragonkin soldiers was bonded. That meant that it was all up for grabs, she just had to remove the armour from the enemy before someone wrecked it.

Or remove the enemy from inside the armour with disintegrate.

That worked too.

The sight of Cara’s looting methods had absolutely terrified the enemy army, and it was already clear that the ones closest to Cara desperately wanted to retreat, but the forces behind them hadn’t realized the problem yet, and they were trapped.

Worse, they couldn’t even attack her properly because she kept retreating between the Golems’ feet so that the constructs would parry the attacks intended for her.

The dragonkin weren’t sure if it was possible for a badger to smirk, but they were pretty sure that they had just seen it.

Karl and the Sand Dragon exchanged spells and dodged vortexes in a complex aerial dance, each trying to get the upper hand, but both wary of what the other might be holding in reserve.

Then the Matriarch suddenly broke off and abandoned the cause, taking her surviving whelps with her.

By the time that Karl realized she wasn’t just circling for another attack, she was far off in the distance to the east, and Hawk was asking whether he should follow them.

[Let them go. I don’t think that they’ll be in any hurry to come back to Bunga. Help with the ground assault so that the city doesn’t lose too many warriors.] Karl instructed.

That didn’t look like it was going to be a huge issue, as the Bunga City residents outnumbered the attackers by quite a large margin.

Without their dragons, the cult didn’t stand a chance.

[Hey, boss! Did you know these guys aren’t local? They don’t smell like this continent.] Cara welcomed Karl as he landed at the edge of the battle.

The Chaos Badger had created a mound of corpses, and was currently using it to play a macabre game of king of the hill, so she could look down at her enemies.

Sister Rae taught her the technique, and it really was fun.

The remaining members of the cult did not show any signs of retreating. No signs of fear at all.

No, that wasn’t right, Cara decided. They were terrified. But more terrified of what would happen to them if they retreated, so they would fight to the very end and consider dying a victory of its own.

That meant she didn’t have to worry about being nice to them.

Then, Cara remembered that she had forgotten an entire step in her plan.

[Elemental’s Wrath]!

The sight of the suddenly enlarged and flaming Chaos Badger was the breaking point, even for the heavily brainwashed cultists.

They broke and began to flee, but in her transformed state, Cara was much faster than they were, and everything that she touched erupted with elemental flames. Even a simple scratch from her was enough to doom most opponents, and when her claws got into your flesh, you would burn from the inside out.

But the enemy cultists weren’t the only ones terrified.

None of the Bunga City defenders dared to come within twenty metres of Cara so that they weren’t mistaken for a cultist and attacked by that blur of fur and flames.

Especially the Bunga City Dragonkin.

Karl laughed as the enemy troops began to run right past him to escape from Cara.

[The Karl isn’t even scary enough to stop the stupid ones from fleeing.] Hawk laughed.

Cara giggled as she gave a Dragonkin an atomic wedgie, then threw him on the pile.

She didn’t even attack him, just pulled his underwear up over his head and threw him with the corpses. If he knew what was good for him, he would stay there until she was done.

The fight was almost over anyhow, with the survivors having fled, and the dragons who could actually threaten the city long gone.

But it was Cara’s assertion that these attackers didn’t smell like this continent that stuck in Karl’s head. He hadn’t been trying to sniff the Sand Dragon when they were grappling, so he hadn’t noticed.

But Karl did notice that Cara was still only a little over a metre tall, even when transformed with [Elemental’s Wrath].

That skill should surely cause a more extreme transformation than simply making her into a flaming badger, but with the Chaos Element on her side, there was nothing saying that the spell couldn’t have turned her into a llama or something.
