Chapter 382: 400 Steamed Crab
It seems like they were lucky, as both magic arrays succeeded and there were no accidents.

Before long, a Dark Erosion Crab with a diameter of about thirty meters and another with a diameter of about twenty-five meters were completely summoned through the magic arrays.

Just from their appearance, they looked no different from the large crabs that Otto had eaten in his past life, even having similar fluff-like structures around their pincers.

However, the Dark Erosion Crabs were ridiculously large, and their shells were entirely black, with several dark purple star-like points of light adorning their hard exteriors.

As soon as they appeared, the two Dark Erosion Crabs began swinging their massive pincers to launch indiscriminate attacks around them.

As Claire had said before, freshly summoned abyssal creatures are extremely fierce, violent, and difficult to control.

The sleeping Fire Blade was immediately awakened and looked at the suddenly appearing giant crabs with a dumbfounded expression, then with a great effort, used the blades on its body to dig a big hole beneath itself.

Then, it jumped directly into the hole and covered itself with a large stone like a lid.

Seeing the commotion, Claire looked at Otto worriedly, and after seeing that he wasn’t showing any signs of displeasure, she let out a sigh of relief.

Then she quickly mobilized her magical power within her, hoping to gain control over the two Dark Erosion Crabs as soon as possible.

Originally, she thought she could only summon one Dark Erosion Crab, but this time her luck had burst through the roof.

Controlling two Dark Erosion Crabs at the same time was still a bit difficult for her; by the time she succeeded, the surrounding terrain might have changed.

Meanwhile, Otto couldn’t help but drool at the sight of the two Dark Erosion Crabs.

It seemed that he hadn’t eaten crab in a long time…

“Slurp!”

With a swipe, Otto wiped the drool off his mouth and said to those nearby, “Leave the smaller one to you guys, and remember to keep it alive! Dead ones don’t taste as good!”

After saying that, he immediately took wing, wrapping himself in rolling thunder, looking like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky.

With a flash of silver-blue light, Otto was already hovering above the larger Dark Erosion Crab.

Then, he simply dropped down like a giant mountain crushing the crab below.

Amid a strange shriek, the Dark Erosion Crab’s eight long legs struggled to support the enormous force being exerted, and the creature was firmly pinned to the ground by Otto.

However, the crab beneath Otto was still struggling like crazy, which was quite annoying.

A wave of cold air spread down from Otto’s body, quickly forming large chunks of ice on the shell of the Dark Erosion Crab at a visible speed.

Otto especially focused on the creature’s eight spindly legs, using the cold to freeze them into eight large icicles.

After doing so, the crab could no longer move at all.

And due to Otto perched on the edge of its back shell, the Dark Erosion Crab’s pincers could hardly pose a threat to him.

Although the crab appeared intimidating, like the giant octopus they encountered earlier, it was merely a large-size creature.

Common creatures without any bloodline talents, no matter how gigantic, have a very low strength limit.

In a short amount of time, this large crab was completely frozen by Otto.

In order to facilitate subsequent processing, Otto also summoned Magical Thorns to bind the creature tightly.

Next, even if the ice melted, the Dark Erosion Crab would not be able to move easily.

In general, Otto had completely controlled the Dark Erosion Crab.

Meanwhile, the progress on the other side was not slow either. Because Otto’s requirement was to capture it alive, the task posed quite a challenge for Welin and Flame.

In the end, it was Konoheim who took action, throwing a small Light Ball at the smaller Dark Erosion Crab. The creature immediately froze in place like a paused movie.

By the time Otto had propped up the Dark Erosion Crab with stone pillars, the smaller one’s pincers were still hanging in the air, maintaining their downward smashing motion.

It seemed that as long as Konoheim didn’t cancel the spell, the poor Dark Erosion Crab could maintain its position for an entire day.

Otto didn’t care about the means as long as the ingredients remained fresh.

After finishing his preparations, Otto took a deep breath and then exhaled a fan-shaped high-temperature steam that completely enveloped the raised Dark Erosion Crab.

This was a combination of Freezing Breath and Flame Breath. Now, in many cases, Otto could get rid of the tyranny of the white sphere, and completely master and integrate his abilities on his own.

As the ice on the Dark Erosion Crab’s body quickly thawed in the high-temperature steam, the newly conscious creature could not bear the heat, twisting its body in panic, trying to escape.

However, it had already been tightly bound by Otto’s Magical Thorns to the surrounding stone pillars. No matter how hard it tried, it could not change its fate of its shell turning gradually red.

“Sizzle!”

After Otto’s steam breath ended, the giant Dark Erosion Crab, with a diameter of about thirty meters, was completely cooked.

High-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods. Having been busy for a while, Master Otto was ready to enjoy his culinary creation…

Looking at the giant steamed red crab in front of him, Otto couldn’t help but drool in joy.

Without any ceremony, Otto tore off one of the big pincers, releasing a mouthwatering aroma. The hard shell crumbled like eggshells under Otto’s teeth and sharp claws.

As he casually pulled away the large chunks of crab shell, the crab meat was surprisingly dark, with a slightly purplish hue.

At first glance, it didn’t seem like a non-toxic, harmless green food, but at Otto’s level, there was no need to worry about it. He opened his mouth wide and tore off a large chunk of the smooth and tender crab meat.

“Mmm…”

As soon as the crab meat entered his mouth, a satisfied expression appeared on Otto’s face, and all he needed now was a cold beer.

Seeing Otto eating happily, Konoheim and Welin curiously came to join the feast.

Originally, Konoheim had set his sights on the other pincer, but unfortunately, so had Welin.

Poor Konoheim had to make a choice between the crab pincer and his daughter, and ultimately…

Without a doubt, the last pincer went into Welin’s mouth. Konoheim could only give in and shift his goal to other parts of the Dark Erosion Crab.

Flame, who was standing aside, hesitated a bit but also got to enjoy a crab leg with Otto’s approval.

Oddly enough, when Otto looked at her, he always felt like he was watching a dog holding a chew toy…
