Divine Beast Tamer - Chapter 30:Unexpected Meeting(1)
It had been 2 weeks since Ronald registered in the Adventurers Guild, but he didn’t accept any mission, as the missions that were available for his current rank won’t really matter to him.
Most of the missions are composed of killing beasts from the savage beast rank to the beast lord rank and collecting their corpse and submit it to the guild to complete the mission, these missions were mostly given by merchants.
Other missions are about collecting rare herbs in the forest, but these missions mostly rely on luck, as the locations on these herbs weren’t clearly known. They only knew that there were rare herbs in the forest due to some adventurers that came across them when they were hunting in the forest.
As Anteva needed to eat beasts corpse to level up and create her minions, Ronald planned to hunt all the savage and spirit rank beasts he encountered and let Anteva eat them to create her minions.
In these two weeks, Anteva had already 4 major minions and 10 worker minions.
Behind the thick bushes within the Everlast forest, a group of ants were hiding and waiting for their prey to enter their trap.
Ronald with Freya, who was still sleeping on his head, was currently sitting on a thick branch of a tall tree, he was looking at a centipede-looking beast with a single eye on its head. It was 1.5 meters in height and had an astounding length of 20-21 meters.

The One-eyed Giant Forest Centipede slowly moved as it searched its surroundings for food, but as it came into an area surrounded by tall trees and thick bushes, it suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger within its surroundings, but it was too late.
At this time, Anteva’s worker ant minions had already surrounded the One-eyed Giant Forest Centipede, but they are not enough to threaten it.
The worker ant minions attacked the centipede very intensely, they came near it and bit the body and legs of the centipede, though they didn’t do any substantial damage to the centipede.
The centipede was very confused, the worker ants were very weak, and it was sure that they can’t harm it, but as time went by, the sense of danger it felt was getting greater and greater.
It had already been 10 minutes since the battle started, and Ronald was still sitting on the branch, watching the battle that was happening below him. After some time, the worker ants started dying, which caused Anteva to command the worker ants to retreat.
As the centipede saw the retreating ant, its sense of danger grew greater. It didn’t know why, but it felt very annoyed by the thought that it was afraid of some puny beasts, thinking of this, it became very angry and started to deny its sense of danger and chased the retreating worker ants.
But at this time, as the centipede was chasing and killing the retreating ants, a giant mandible emerged from the ground where its body was situated and bit its body, cutting its body into two.
From the ground, a larger ant compared to the worker ant, slowly emerged from the ground. This ant had a very different appearance than the worker ants, as it has a big head and a pair of large mandibles, that had cut the centipede’s body into two.
This ant was the only Major Ant Minion of Anteva.

Unlike worker ants, this ants had an amazing amount of strength and vitality but with lower agility and stamina.
The Centipede roared in pain as it felt its body that has been cut into half. It squirmed around the ground for some time, before it decided to attack the major ant.
It rushed aggressively to the major ant, as it felt that the creature in front was weaker than it, even if it was heavily injured. It wanted to have its revenge but sadly, as it was rushing to the major ant, another pair of mandibles emerged from the ground, but this time, the pair of mandibles accurately bit its head, killing the centipede directly in one blow, without giving it a time to roar.
The one that appeared was Anteva. Anteva now had a height of 3-4 meters and a length of 18-19 meters.
Selena who also there at that time was also shocked, it was the first time she saw a huge beast, so she was very amazed by it.

“Anteva that was very amazing, I was really shocked when your mandibles emerged from the ground.”
Selena who was tasked by Ronald to scout around came back, and luckily saw the scene where Anteva emerged from the ground and bit the centipede’s head.
“It wasn’t that amazing, I still need to practice formulating my strategies, so that I can command my minions effectively. I had completely miscalculated the major minion’s speed, which was the cause of my misjudgment”, Anteva replied and sighed.
Within these two weeks, Anteva and Selena became very close. Unlike Freya who was proud and emitted an aura of a ruler, Selena had a very lively and warm personality, which make others feel close to her.
As Anteva and Selena were talking, Ronald came down from the tree and walked towards them, but then a loud roar was heard not far from them.
The loud roar greatly startled Anteva and Selena, along with this loud roar was the aura of the Beast Lord, which caused the two of them to tremble in fear.
Ronald immediately let Anteva enter the Beast Storage, while Selena immediately entered Ronald armor when he came near her and hid there while shaking in fear.
