Chapter 493 Tier 4 Skills

Tier 4 Offensive Skills ⇒ Only One May Be Chosen

{50pts} [Devastate] Strikes dealing more than ten percent of the target's health do double damage.

{50pts} [Overwhelming Presence] Causes a {Terror} type debuff that causes affected targets to become paralyzed for 5 seconds, plus 10 seconds per Rank difference between caster and target.

{50pts} [Rampage] Every time an enemy is damaged by the Beast Master or a bonded beast, increase the damage done by the Beast Master or the bonded beast for one minute.

There were over a dozen greyed out attack skills, which were only available to an attack specialist Beast master, but there were three core skills that Karl could use.

[Rampage] Cara and Remi demanded at the same time.

[Devastate] Rae insisted. She hit hard, and double damage stabbing sounded better than slowly stacking damage.

[I want to see them pee themselves when they see us.] Hawk recommended.

That did have a certain appeal to it. Making them too terrified to even move as they were slaughtered could be interesting.

The real problem was that they could only choose one, and it was fifty points. Karl probably didn't have that many.

They could most likely get [Trollish Regeneration] from the defence skills tree, though. That would be a fun skill to have.

Bodyguards and Golems with Trollish Regeneration seemed like it would be a most excellent prank to play on people. Even after the barriers broke, and the enemy hacked a limb off, they could just pick it up and let it reattach itself.

By Tessa's estimation, attacked was an understatement. These few survivors were merchant's guards, and they were all horribly maimed and barely hanging on to their lives when she began her healing work.

It was more difficult than she was used to, as some were monsters out of favour with the Dragon Gods, but that was more in the nature of her not receiving the bonuses she was used to than the Gods actively preventing her from healing them.

The spells closed their wounds, and stopped the internal bleeding, but most of these men would never work as caravan guards again. Some were missing limbs, one most of a hand and both eyes. But that didn't answer the question of what happened to them.

"They should be stable now. They might not be able to tell us much until they have calmed down, but there is a troll among them, and he will be fine in a few minutes, as long as his eyes heal properly." She explained.

The half troll gave them a weak thumbs up, and blinked his newly regenerated eyes.

"They will be fine now. I had to scoop them out so they would heal right, and that takes time to grow back naturally. Everything was going well, and we had cut around the city to bypass all the traffic and the road pirates exacting tolls to get to the gates.

But there was some sort of massive battle going on in the middle of nowhere, and they just attacked us without warning.

Some massive Orc calling himself Dora The Destroyer annihilated our entire caravan. We fled, and we were over five kilometres from the main battle, but they still chased us down." He explained.

"So, it was the nomadic Orc tribes fighting?" One of the farmers asked.

The merchant shook his head. "They were there, but there are Orcs, trolls, dragons, Minotaur herds, and I swear I saw an entire Spellblade Clan. It's hell, they're going to tear the whole region apart at that rate, and it's still spreading. I saw five more portals open as I crawled to safety."

One of the humans laying near him laughed.

"You got lucky. We weren't even trying to get near the city. We were going cross-country from the coast and got ambushed by a Demon Clan. Same thing, they just came out of nowhere and started killing everyone."

Karl nodded. "Whatever is going on there must have riled them up. I heard rumours in the city that it was a Dungeon opening, but both Orc tribes that I have met with this week were pretty reasonable."
