The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1316 Crash Course In Survival

[Karl, you really need to get going. There are a lot of monsters coming through this portal.] Cara reminded him.

[Give me thirty seconds. Iʼm recruiting more people.]

[Make it snappy, there is Calamari, and I want it.]

Karl rolled his eyes at the stubborn badger, but kept waiting for the last of his recruits to be ready.

”This battle is certain to be rough on all of you. You have new skills, and no training. But I will give you weapons, and we are going to fight against invading Cephalopods. I believe that itʼs the same group that invaded this city, but I canʼt confirm that yet.

The goal is to eliminate them and close the portals they are using to invade this world.

Ready or not, it is time. We canʼt delay any longer.” He declared.

From the Guildʼs storage he grabbed a whole pile of Totem Ranked spears, swords, maces and daggers.

”Grab a weapon that appeals to you. If you think you can use two at once, go ahead. Thatʼs common for assassins. You have ten seconds to grab a weapon, and then weʼre leaving” Karl informed them. It was better not to give them time to second guess their choices.

Then he opened a portal to the location that Cara had given him.

The drain was immense, indicating that it was not on the same continent. But nothing could have prepared Karl for the scene in front of him.

His portal had opened to a Drake Riders shrine, and the sky was filled with the two legged reptiles, while another enormous army of frogs flooded the ground, killing everything that moved in the city.

”Itʼs the frogs again. Take them out. Work together or in teams. Shamans, you are the only healers, donʼt slack on your duties to your comrades. Everyone else, protect the healers and donʼt get out of their sight.

I will be going up.” Karl ordered as he led the way through the portal.

The sight of the frogs steeled the determination of the Demons and Lizardfolk. Those evil things had terrorized them their whole lives. But now they had the power to fight back for the first time.

The freshly evolved Wolves had a particular hate for the slimy amphibians, and elemental attacks crackled from them as they hurtled their bodies into combat. The Beast Rangers buffed their companions, and then most of them panicked and used their regeneration abilities to heal even the most minor of injuries on the Wolves. The Shamans had their healing totems out, but nobody had any combat experience or training. All they could do was rely on the System and hope that they didnʼt die.

At least they had some basic knowledge granted by their skills, and the assassins had a combat style type innate skill.

But what Karl quickly realized was that they had no skill points. They had the few initial skills that the class granted, and no more. They would have to work and survive if they were going to get enough skill points to have a full array of abilities.

Overhead, the Drakes were fighting against a group of Mythic Rank octopus monsters, but they only had two Totems and a bunch of Overlords.

Karl summoned his Golems to protect the others, then activated [Avatar] and flew up to join the battle.

{Keep your distance, I will hold them in place.} He ordered.

The Octopus monsters turned an annoyed red colour as Karl doused them in Ghostfire, but the attitude changed immediately when they realized that it was burning their souls and not just their bodies.

Karl charged right into close combat with the burning monsters, and felt his scales shred as tentacles wrapped around him. Then, he flicked his foreleg up, bringing a soft head in range of his jaws.

Draconic teeth sunk deep into the octopus, and Ghostfire scorched flesh as the creature realized its mistake.

You couldnʼt attack the front of a dragon like that. It didnʼt need to use its limbs to inflict massive damage.

Then, Karl coated himself in [Disintegrate] and began to pulse [Void Blast], tearing the tentacles apart as the attacker howled in anguish.

The other two came to its rescue, but their attacks couldnʼt get through [Eternal Lightning] quickly enough, and Karl was tearing the hapless creature apart.

[Theyʼre good when roasted.] Karl laughed before tossing the corpse of the first octopus into Hawkʼs space.

The bird was still in Drodh, but with the portal open, he had no problem retrieving his bounty.

[Are we going there? Should I get the Dana Mage?] Rae asked.

[Do you think she would hurt me for asking her to look after Drodh and the payments for frog bounties?] Karl asked.

[One hundred percent, yes.]

[Then Thor is responsible for payments. Rae and Hawk can come here to hunt more frogs. Remi, help with the survivors. Maybe go find Lotus, the locals know

the healing tree.

Rac, bring Dana with you, and have her stay near my recruits. They have zero combat experience.]

”World Dragon, thank you for the rescue.” A familiar voice gasped as the two Mythic attackers backed away, and the Drake Riders advanced around Karl. {Kenichi? Are you suicidal? Well, at least I know where the attack is now. I brought a load of Mythic assistants to help save your city. But there are multiple attacks in the Dragon Isles, and most of my people are busy.} Karl replied as he hurled Ghostfire fireballs at his opponents.

”It might be Suicidal, but the Drake Riders only have us two Totems. There are no more Myths available on this continent, and the old black dragon is busy in his own nation, dealing with an attack there.”

[Thor, ask Cara where all the successful attacks are, and let the other Myths

know that we will pay bounties for frogs at all of them. Just have someone open

the portals. I think Remi can do it.]

Karl honestly couldnʼt remember who was compatible with the Portal spell, other than that it wasnʼt Rae.
