The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 998

Remi stared up at the Giant in front of her. It had managed to sneak through the lines of Golems and fighters to make it to her and Lotus in the back lines. That alone was enough to be impressed with its ingenuity.

But in her usual form, Remi was much too small to be fighting the Giants head on.

Instead, she transformed into Spirit Snake form and struck out at the Giant, which rolled away, flailing with its blade to keep her bite away.

Remi's head darted forward as the Giant swung wildly, but too slow to stop the attack.

Half the creature's body was in her mouth when Remi bit down, sinking her fangs deep into the Giant and flooding it with venom.

With its arms trapped to its side by her mouth, the Giant flailed wildly, and even tried coating itself in stone armour, but the skill failed to force Remi's fangs from its back, and it remained trapped.

A few seconds later, its frantic struggles ended, and Remi instinctively swallowed. Then she realized that with a full Giant in her Spirit Snake form, she wouldn't be able to transform back for a while, and she would be slow moving until she finished digesting.

Worse, Lotus was giving her a disgusted look.

And the little cleric was right. The Giant didn't even taste good.

4/10 Mediocre and inconvenient.

But she had an idea. If she shrunk, the food should shrink with her. Yes, that worked wonderfully, and now she was a small snake with a full belly, but she could move easily.

She didn't lose any strength when she shrunk, but both her body and the Giant lost weight. It was the perfect solution to a problem that she had created for herself, and it came with the added bonus of completely confusing the other Giants.

They couldn't find Remi in all the chaos, but even under the influence of the Monster Spawn, they hadn't forgotten that there was a venomous Spirit Snake here somewhere.

She couldn't have gone far. The aftermath of the battle between the two Totems had made it impossible for the Giants to retreat, and Remi had been at the back of the battle to begin with.

They just needed to find her.

Karl and the Totem Ranked Giant had no idea what was happening on the other side of the battlefield, they were too engrossed in their own battle.

This Totem was one of the strongest Karl had seen, and the durability of his species was incredible. Like Karl, he had Totem Ranked defensive barriers up, and the Earth Element was known for its durability.

Unlike Karl, he healed at a more normal rate.

So, the wounds were slowly building up on the Giant as they battled, and his energy was running low, while Karl regenerated stamina, and he was using less mana than he could regain.

Dana landed gently on her back. "We might as well. The day is still early, and we have four targets on the list. The next one doesn't have a Totem Ranked leader, though.

Why don't we split up for efficiency? All of us can go to the next one on the list, and Karl can take his own."

As she finished talking, Dana stuck her tongue out at Karl, then pulled her curls back into a rough ponytail, as they had already escaped the loose braid she wove that morning.

[That's not a bad idea. Their target is five kilometres northwest. Yours is fifteen to the north.] Hawk offered.

"Hawk has the target in sight. Follow him northwest, and you'll find it. Then we can both meet at the fourth target for the day." Karl suggested.

"Oh, not a bad idea. If things go smoothly, we should be done by lunch, and we can go together back to camp." Ophelia agreed.

Remi giggled as she climbed up one of Dana's Golems for a better view in her reduced snake form.

{This should be fun. We can have a competition. And then we can make a wishlist of things to have for dinner.}

Everything was huge again in this form, and she had just remembered that she never did get to try all the sweets she wanted to when she learned to shrink.
