The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Rae's Priorities

Rae's real concern was not how to make sure that everyone knew which kills were hers, that was already fairly obvious to everyone.

What was really weighing on her mind was the fact that she was about to become Royal Rank, and she didn't feel impressive enough. She was a goddess of the night, a divine blessing come to reap the tasty and unwary. But soon she would be a legitimate Princess, and her only real skills were stabbing, and making things that stabbed for her.

How could a Princess of the Bloodbath Spider species only be good for assassination? Wasn't that just too sad? If she couldn't even do something cool, wouldn't she be no better than a Giant? She had stabbed thousands of Giants to death, but Rae suspected that the humans didn't fully appreciate how much of a difference existed between an elegant being such as her and some stupid Giant.

She was so lost in despair that her abilities weren't visually impressive that she almost missed the fact that she already had the answer.

She had been watching the humans all her life, and there was no way that she couldn't learn the basics of their skills. No human could be as smart as her. Not even her Karl was immune to her trickery.

What she needed to do was focus on the learning skill and a person with a cool ability. There were countless cool abilities, and really flashy ones. Remi had gotten an overdose of luck on that front, and all her abilities were flashy. But none of them were really appealing to Rae.

She wanted something that people would associate with her.

Then she recalled a skill she kept seeing the Commander Rank Rogues using. They just vanished into a shadow and appeared somewhere else to attack. It didn't seem to go far, but she could totally learn that. Shadows were her Element.

So, Rae sneaked out to observe the Rogues practising, revelling in the fact that half the camp didn't even see her passing by them.

Of course, a huge spider sitting at the edge of the training area in the middle of the afternoon wasn't exactly stealthy, even if she blended with her surroundings exceptionally well. So, the most powerful Rogues knew that she was watching them, and wondered what she was doing.

Then, when the sun shifted and moved her into the shadows, the Bloodbath Spider vanished, only to appear behind one of the Professors and rub a mandible against the back of his neck before making a quarter turn and vanishing again.

"Did we just accidentally teach a Bloodbath Spider to Shadow Step?" One of the students asked as the teacher stood frozen in horror.

"We totally did. Holy shit, that is terrifying. I'm glad we're not Professor Fingers right now." Another Rogue agreed.

"She was terrifying enough before. Did you know that she can see in absolute darkness, track you by noise, and she has built in thermal imaging? It's basically impossible to hide from her. Now, she can shadow step, so she can just appear anywhere and attack. That's just disgustingly unfair." One of the boys that Rae had embarrassed in class ranted.

So, he had to work on his stamina if he was going to keep up his position in this growing pack. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
