Bab 218: A Sneaky Snake

The giant snake-like monster was paralyzed, only its head poking out of the hole in the ground. The smell of fear reeked out of its huge body, provoking the dragon hidden in the smoke.

"Pleassse, your highness have mercy!" it kept hissing in fear.

Vesuvius felt his breath glands itch as his patience was slowly running out. He needed information, not incoherent blabbering, "Speak, snake and tell me, have you ever met someone like me?!"

"No, your highnessss, but I felt this aura of death before! Your kind wasss alwaysss at the peak of usss monsterssss!" the basilisks hissed loudly, its yellow eyes looking to the ground as it even refused to look at the dragon.

'It felt an aura of a dragon. How old is this snake?' he felt his interest grow even more as he imagined what he could do with it.

'It is a high-level monster while still being at a manageable level. It should be a better base for evolving it than a normal kobold. Maybe I can turn it into a powerful minion.'
