Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

The plumes of smoke eventually drifted into the air, revealing a deep crater at the spot where Shadow's Oblivion had slammed into.

Nox stared at the several carcasses piling inside the pit and couldn't help but feel regret. "If I had known, I could have brought Astralux. She'd have extracted all the monsters' cores."

He sighed and jumped into the crater a moment later. 'I guess I'll do the hard work myself. It's times like this I wish I had telekinesis.'

Nox placed the first monster core into his inventory and rested a hand on his cheek. 'When this whole thing is over, I think I'll go on a little vacation and just look for powerful skills to copy. Yes, I'll do jus—'

While Nox was absentmindedly thinking and retrieving the beast cores from the carcasses, the surroundings began to tremble.

Rumble! Rumble!

Nox's expression changed slightly.

The sound felt like the marching of a thousand-man army rushing to war.

Fortunately, during the time he spent in his head, he had already retrieved a hefty amount of beast cores. Though there were still some left, he decided to put those aside and check out the current situation.

Jumping out of the crater, Nox landed with a soft thud on the rough ground, finding himself face to face with hundreds of beasts.

But among them, the one that stood out to him was a coiled black-scaled python staring at him like a delicious meal, its forked tongue dangling in the air.

Seeing this beast, for some reason, reminded Nox a lot of the blue-fanged python back in the barony.

[Black Scale Python - King Tier - Lv8]

'What a coincidence that they're both in the King Tier.' A silver light flickered across his features. Nox could still vividly remember the difficulty Elvin and his strike team had gone through the other day.

Looking at the intimidating beast that could have scared the living daylight out of him if he were still back on Earth, Nox felt confident in beating it.

"Alright, big man, let's do this!" A wide smile very similar to Nathan's spread across Nox's features.

As if sensing Nox's intention, the python's eyes also burned furiously as its black scales shimmered under the glare of the sun. It was about to lunge forward and swallow the tasty human.

BOOM!

A loud boom echoed in the air as the beast bolted forward from its spot. Though it was literally crawling on its stomach, the force was so powerful that it ripped the earth apart, creating a mini chasm on the ground.

The other beasts that had accompanied the python knew its intentions and stepped back.

Nox gripped his dagger tightly and dashed forward as well, a fearless expression on his face. While the King Tier black-scaled python was thinking of devouring him, he was calculating the amount of experience points he'd obtain from a creature of this caliber.

Tension filled the air as the two closed in on each other. However, just before their clash, something unexpected happened.

The beast suddenly came to a stop!

"Huh, why did it stop?" Its actions confused Nox as well.

Even the other beasts were stunned! Enjoy reading at m,v lem|p,yr

The python's eyes gleamed strangely, and the next moment, Nox heard a voice in his head.

"You."

Nox's eyes flashed sharply as he recognized the voice in his head. It had been a long time since he had heard the voice of another beast, so he was naturally courteous.

"Sup," Nox responded casually, to the python's shock.

"Huh, you can hear me, human?!" The python's eyes widened in shock, and its entire body trembled.

Nox covered his ears and winced slightly. "Yes, I can hear you, and stop screaming; you're hurting my brain."

Growl! Growl!

The other beasts communicated among themselves, clearly confused about what was going on. Since the python was communicating solely with Nox, the others weren't able to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Great!" the python exclaimed again.

"Agh! Damn, what happened to 'stop screaming'?" Nox covered his ears again, feeling as though blood would come out anytime soon.

"I don't know how you can hear me, but I don't care," the python said. "What's important is why you reek so much of her."

"Huh, what are you on about?" Nox raised a brow, confusion flickering across his face. He couldn't understand what this overgrown python was saying.

"Reek so much of who?" he asked, the grip on his dagger loosening a bit.

"Hmph, contemptuous human," the python hissed, its emerald eyes narrowing as it seemed to stare through Nox's very soul. "You reek of her—you reek of the person who caused me so much pain! The one I have been waiting for all these years!"

Nox didn't know if his ears were playing tricks on him, but he could sense raw emotions in those words. It felt like the python's voice held layers of pain and anger that spanned years, maybe even centuries.

Then the creature's eyes glistened with anger as it said in a deep voice:

"Now tell me, why do you reek so much of her? You have 30 seconds to give me an answer; if not, I'll tear you to shreds."

"Look," Nox said, trying to keep his voice casual as he cautiously eyed the beast's coiled, massive body, "I don't know who you're talking about, but if you think you're scaring me with a few cryptic lines, think again."

As he said this, Nox tightened his grasp on his weapon again, a clear indication that he was done speaking.

Seeing Nox's actions, the python's eyes flared up, burning with intense anger as it spat: "You bastard, you have my wife's scent on you, yet you act clueless! How shameless can you be!"

Nox froze when he picked up on specific words from the python.

"Y-your wife?" he blurted out.

As if in response, inside his taming space, a certain beautiful egg started to fall apart.
