And it even brought about a hundred beasts with it!
Intelligent beasts were very, very rare.
She had only encountered one in all her beast mobs and adventures outside. Many others had never encountered one at all.
They were intelligent because they had consumed huge amounts of purified aether from humans and other intelligent beings, which was to say it had killed a huge number of people, more than others, along with some other lucky opportunity that solidified their foundation.
Usually, this would be found in stronger monsters. The one she encountered before was relatively low-leveled for an intelligent monster, but because she had the protection of the walls, they managed to deal with it without casualties.
It was different now. The monster was not only more than level 20, but they were completely on its turf. It purposely chose nighttime, too, knowing humans had a lot less advantage in the dark.
If they didn't handle this well, a lot of people were going to die.
