"How do I craft the antidote using the Anaconda's venom? And where do I get the Generic Anti Venom Potion? Do you sell it in the shop?" Elliot pressed the AI with his questions.
[You can craft the antidote by mastering the [Potion Crafting] skill to the fifth level. The [Potion Crafting] skill will be available at level 25. The Generic Anti Venom Potion is available for purchase in the shop starting level 12.]
"WHAT?! I am only level 10!!" Elliot shouted. "You must be kidding me! How on earth can I gain the two levels I need before he dies?! He won't last much longer!"
[Tame the Black Bear Lord, and you will gain 5000 XP. You will grow to level 14.]
"Ah. I didn't expect you to answer that rhetorical question. But good job answering it!" Elliot said.
"Ellie's gramps, I-"
"I am YOUR MAJESTY for you, puny human- UGH…." Brock the Black Bear Lord groaned and vomited a steaming blob of black blood.
"Fine, fine. YOUR MAJESTY. I have a method to save you from the poison. But I need time to grow strong enough to use that method. In the meantime, I can suppress the poison in your body if you sign a contract with me. Would you like that? You don't have much time until the poison takes you." Elliot said quickly.
"Hahhhh. Hahhhhhhhhh." Brock rasped heavily. "It seems- Hahhhh. I do not have a choice. Fine. I will sign a contract - UGHH!"
Immediately, the mind space solidified and shrank into a corner of Elliot's mind, right next to Ellie and Rex.
[Black Bear Lord successfully tamed.]
[5000 XP gained.]
[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 11!]
[You have received 10 points for levelling up.]
[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 12!]
[You have received 10 points for levelling up.]
[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 13!]

[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 14!]
[You have received 10 points for levelling up.]
"Yes!!!" Elliot shouted excitedly. "YESSS!!! I got a BEAR KING!! WOOHOOO!!!!"
However, the Bear Lord wasn't looking too good. It was barely even breathing.
Black blood was already flowing out of its would. The anaconda's poison was extremely deadly and extremely fast acting. And judging by just how fast such a massive beast was dying, the anaconda probably pumped out several liters of poison into his body.
If nothing was done, it would definitely succumb to the anaconda's poison and die within one minute.
"Hawk! Open up the shop for me!"

"Get me the Generic Anti Venom Potion! Quick!" Elliot cried out.
[Generic Anti Venom Potion purchased for 10 points.]
A grey mist swirled on top of Elliot's outstretched hand and a small glass vial appeared in his hand.
[Please pour the contents of the vial onto the wound.]
Elliot immediately did as instructed. A crystal clear drop of liquid trickled down the vial and entered Brock's body.
For a minute, nothing happened. Brock even stopped breathing.
But just as Elliot was about to freak out, Brock suddenly took a deep, shuddering breath.
"Pheeeeewwwwwwwww." Elliot sighed with great relief.
The anti venom worked.
"Uhhh. For a minute I thought I had died…" Brock groaned in pain.
"I think you really died there for a minute." Elliot laughed weakly as he sat back on the ground.
After the low of luring such a powerful beast, and the high of realizing that Ellie knew said beast, and the deep, deep terror at seeing the anaconda, and the thrill of watching the two giant beasts fight, and the panic of thinking Brock might die, and the joy of gaining him as a tamed beast, Elliot was an emotional mess.
If we add the fact that he had a really low emotional health score to begin with, it was a miracle that Elliot was still sane.
(Emotional health: 0.4 AI Comment: Love tank almost empty. Sicker than the average human being. Let's not even mention the monkey to avoid host's emotional health from dropping further.)
For a few minutes, Elliot sat there silently, sorting out his thoughts and feelings. Brock laid there also and allowed the anti-venom to fully work its magic on his body.
"Thank you, puny human child. It might have taken an utterly shameful and unthinkable happening such as being your tamed beast for my life to be saved, but saved it truly is. And for that, you have my gratitude." Brock said solemnly.
Elliot looked up at him and smiled. "You are welcome, Your Majesty. Being able to save you is a privilege. You are, afterall, Ellie's grandfather, and you saved us all from the anaconda. And having you as my tamed beast is a true honor. I will be depending heavily on you for the rest of my life, however long or short it is."
Brock smiled a ferocious smile and said, "For you, my little master, you may call me Brock. And with me around, unless another such beast appears, your life is completely safe."
Elliot smiled sadly at him.
"Sadly, starting tomorrow morning, there would be many "such beasts" to deal with. Enemies from far beyond our world are arriving, and they will be bringing with them countless powerful beasts. I am afraid that even you would have trouble dealing with them."
"If what you say is true, then we must prepare ourselves and increase our strength. How many giant beasts are you able to tame, puny human child?" Brock asked with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"How many?" Elliot dumbly repeated his question in surprise. "Uh… At my current level, twenty five more. But the more I tame, the stronger I will get, so that number will probably go up."
"Excellent! Excellent!" Brock grunted and snorted in excitement. "Twenty five is enough. I will bring you on a grand tour around the country, and I will help you subdue all the giant, half-rotten ancients that I know of. In fact, if we gather enough giant beasts, we might even be strong enough to subdue THAT particular beast. HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA!"
Elliot stared at Brock who was laughing gleefully with a strange look on his face. "Somehow, this old dude reminds me of myself." He mumbled to himself as his eyes strayed to the giant anaconda's carcass.
"AH! I need to harvest its poison sac to be able to craft the antidote!" Elliot cried out. "Damn I almost forgot. Hey Brock! Stop laughing and help me cut out its venom sac! I'll need it to craft the antidote for you when I get stronger."
"AH right! Let me do that now!" Brock replied enthusiastically and immediately went to work.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
"How much of the venom do I need, Hawk?"
[Just a single drop will do.]
Elliot took out the vial that contained the Generic Anti Venom Potion before and nodded his head slightly. "I should be able to store at least ten drops here. Perfect."
After storing ten drops of the anaconda's venom, Elliot glanced at the rest of the massive carcass.
"It seems like such a waste to leave this carcass behind. Is there any way that I could somehow make use of it, Hawk?" Elliot asked.
[Affirmative. There should be a beast core in an Extra Large Beast such as this Hell Venom Anaconda. Additionally, consuming its venom and an anti-venom immediately after would render you immune to most other poisons.]
"Beast core! Brock! There is a Beast core within the snake! Please find it and dig it out!" Elliot told Brock.
"Beat core? Ho ho ho! So this anaconda has risen to such a high level! To think that I was able to defeat it so easily! I must be really powerful and formidable to be able to fight above my grade! Mwa ha ha ha!" Brock laughed gleefully as he praised himself to the heavens.
"Uhhhh… Hawk, does signing a contract make the beast more like me? How come I feel like he is becoming more and more shameless like me…" Elliot asked.
[Negative. Your soul power is not yet strong enough to cause a bleed-over effect on Brock's soul.]
"I see…" Elliot replied doubtfully. But he let the matter rest for the moment.
As he watched Brock dismantle the anaconda's body starting from its head, Elliot was struck by a sudden bout of curiosity about the snake's stats.
He nicked another small hole in his palm and pressed it to the snake carcass's many wounds.
A closed mind space did not descend, but the snake's stats did appear.

AI Comments: An extremely ancient and large Anaconda who had managed to live on planet earth undetected for many long years. It is extremely venomous and had used its venom to kill its ancient enemies many times.
"Serpent Emperor bloodline? Hmmm. Maybe I should store its blood so I can use it if I ever find a snake beast with the same bloodline to tame." Elliot thought to himself. "Now, how do I store its blood? Hawk, can you give me an empty vial?"
[Negative. Miscellaneous item Empty Vial is available for purchase for 1 point. Purchase?]
"Uhhh… What a stingy system. Fine, give me five empty vials then." Elliot grumbled. He quickly stored the Hell Venom Anaconda's blood in the vials and kept the vials safely alongside its venom.
As he turned his attention back to Brock, he was slightly shocked to see that Brock was actually eating the Hell Venom Anaconda!
"Om nom nom." Brock chomped on the snake meat hungrily.
"Hey! Ah, well. You might as well eat it." Elliot sighed. "In fact, Ellie! Rex! Come on out and eat! It's time to feast!"
Ellie and Rex quickly came out.
"Master? Oooh that's a big dead snake. Can I eat it?" Ellie asked.
FOOD! BIG FOOD! EAT?
"Go! Eat it! Hey wolves and hawks, you guys go and eat some too!" Elliot told them.
Within seconds, eleven wolves, two bears, two hawks and a kitten were feasting on snake meat.
"Now, let's assign my points. After gaining 4 levels, I got 40 points, less the 5 I used to buy the vials. Stingy ass system. I think I need to increase my stats so that I can gain personal strength also. I can't always depend on my summons and pets. Let's see… 10 into strength, 10 into luck, 10 into intellect and 5 into endurance! Go for it, hawk!"
