As Flay and Estelle raised up the throat with the two passageways opened, the torch fell below towards the oil-soaked floor.VOOOSHHH!A great flame spread out and created a towering fire that began to burn.“Now, no one could get out unless they clear out that fire. And now… for the finishing touches.” Flay brought out one of the energy crystals that contained a massive amount of mana.“A Brilliant Grade Energy Crystal!” Estelle was surprised. But the crystal seemed strange. It seemed as if it was shaking, and the mana around it was becoming wilder and wilder.Flay dropped the crystal just as they were about to reach the top.“This should do it…”Flay had already estimated how high he needed to drop the crystal.Stryder leaped out of the screaming mouth and left the top of the mountain as the explosion occurred, and the mouth of the dark beast closed and sealed the mountain.The crystal fell and reached the part of the throat where the strange creeping mouth creature was tucked away

“Princess!” Vallenhal shouted loudly as he noticed the two people emerging from the valley afar.It was the Princess of the kingdom! The miraculous appearance caused the assassin to shout in joy.“Estelle is alive! Estelle is alive!” Vallenhal began to weep as his fears were proven to be untrue.“At least he’s the good guy.” Flay chuckled as he could see Vallenhal's sincere joy.“You were considering him a traitor? I doubt he is. He is... my half-brother. And he treats me dearly.” Estelle answered.“...You mean adoptive brother.” Flay narrowed his eyes.“...?! How did you...?!”“Hm? I was right? It was a shot in the dark. You two just feel... like a different breed.”Estelle was confused, but Flay marched out ahead, and Estelle followed.The approaching escort noticed Flay moving ahead.“My lord... That boy... Is he someone who has kidnapped our Princess?”“No...Estelle follows him willingly. This boy is an ally that must have helped and saved the Princess. Treat him with respect.”“.

The knight's allies could never know what exactly he had to go through to keep his body protected and guarded against the creeping poison within his bloodstream. Had it been anyone else, they would not have achieved the power of using Brute to push back the poison. But through this poison, the knight had understood the pathways of his body. He could sense his blood vessels, veins, and organs. His training in creating a Brute blockage was brutal. Many times, the poison nearly seeped into his brain. Though some magical attempts were made to destroy the Ravaging Dread Poison, the fact that it was in his head and knocking at his brain's doorpost made it difficult. He was in a critical state for weeks as he was constantly battling and keeping the blockage of Brute to stop the poison. In contrast, mage doctors and alchemist doctors kept trying to help. One day, he just walked out of the hospital, claiming that he had somehow stopped it and would only go back and rest if he was too tired.

The Beastmaster was startled at the sudden question that Flay posed to him.Kairo was a supreme alchemist, but Flay was a Tamer all his life. He considered monsters and bestial behavior natural to them.Even in the kingdom, the youngest Tamers and those who were invalids had become vital to hunts and had brought down the death toll to the point that none had yet died!And behind this was the Tamer’s mindset. There were lion-type beasts in their villages. Aside from their ancestors' ancient knowledge, was the fact that some of the former traitors of Monster’s Edge had tamed lion-type beasts!And it was straightforward for a tamer to understand a beast that they have subdued.“Your scent. I can smell that territorial marking of a lion. It must have been tough on you.” Flay laughed.The beast master’s expression turned ugly.“You…!”“I’ve been around lions. I can tell. Looking at your state, it means this lion is bound in your home but acting like a king. It is demanding food, and you pr

Flay was led into a massive tunnel and found that the family of Beast Master had turned the entire hills into a den, where they created pits, tunnels, and holes where monsters of all sorts lived. The kinds and breeds of the creatures present were very diverse. The number of beasts captured was probably triple the number of beasts the tamers had. Yet, Flay's unimpressed demeanor was obvious. Darwood noticed the eyes of Flay that had almost anger in them! Flay and Darwood lived two different worlds. The Tamers created a monster community; what these beastmasters made were just captives. Even without the Taming Jewel, the Tamers could cultivate a community if they had the manpower and support of the kingdom. They knew how to ‘tame’ the monsters. To the unlearned mind, a beast master and a beast tamer might seem similar. But in reality, they are vastly different. A beast tamer, like Flay, tames the beast to make them a part of their community, forming a bond of mutual respect and eve
