Chapter 44 - Standing Corpses... (1/2)
As soon as Letty heard these howls her face became ugly. She knew these howls very well, as a top quality guide she could identify a creature by its sound.
'Impossible, this is not their territory. Why are they here?'
She did want to summon a strong horde, but she had inadvertently summoned one of the most dominant beast hordes in Miami. Letty was about to warn Will when she stopped due to the expression on his face. It was genuine shock.
”Master, I am sorry I made a dreadful error. We need to run.”
Will shook his head. Then after that, he said words that made her feel powerless with a devilish grin, ”Why? It's only a pack of Storm Wolf Guardians led by a General. This won't even take me five minutes. Sit back and watch.”
'Sit back and watch? Watch what?'
Will's words gave Letty some expectation. A horde of Storm Wolf Guardians led by a Storm Wolf General was no laughing matter, especially considering Will's level.
”By the way, Letty, what level are you? And what is your class?” As the horde got closer and closer, beads of sweat started trickling down Letty's forehead, yet Will was calm and started some idle chatter.
”I am level forty-nine, and my class is Nether priest.”
”What kind of class is that?” Letty smiled wryly at Will's question. She wanted to say 'just another piece of rare garbage' but she quickly held her tongue and corrected herself.
”It's a class that focuses on communicating with the dead. I have some skills related to soul magic and necromancer magic, but they have major drawbacks.”
Will became curious as Letty spoke about her class. As far as he was concerned a necromancer type class should be quite powerful, so why would she look down on it?
”The majority of my skills are for communicating with the dead. I can also only raise undead that I myself have killed. My undead are incapable of independent thought which puts stress on my mind because I have to control their every move. My class is suited toward scouting and information gathering, but at the lower levels, it's not very useful for battle. Until I am able to slay a powerful beast, I will not be of much use to you. Even then my using the beast will no doubt require mana I cannot provide...”
Letty's voice trailed off and her mood became more depressed as time went on. She was incredibly talented, one could even say blessed by the heavens, but unfortunately, she was given a class that was very difficult to use.
”Wow, that sounds really OP.,” said Will with approval.
”Yes, it is Op-wait what?”
By the time Letty had registered what Will had said, they had been completely surrounded. The giant wolves stopped a few meters away from the duo and made way for their leader.
