The Giant Funnel Web Spider was a dangerous beast that was cunning and cautious.When it terrorized the Tamers, which eventually forced the Tamers to alert the Kingdom because it was amassing a massive den that could terrorize both the Tamers and the towns and forts in the Kingdom, there were numerous deaths among the knights and warriors that the Kingdom deployed.But the Kingdom underestimated it. No Adept-level Fighting Professions were deployed, and all were only High Apprentices.The entire nest of the Giant Funnel Web Spider was empty at the bottom, but the ceiling would be covered with webs and allowed the giant Funnel Web Spider to swoop in down and kill its prey.It also used various traps like a massive cocoon of web that would fall and hatch its children. While these baby spiders were weak, they were numerous, and all had poison that could inflict paralysis. There were other traps that the spider had, which killed even more men! And then, there was the appearance of its chi
Flay kept running on the walls thanks to the slimes and finally jumped and turned his weapon to a heavy spear and killed a slime by impaling its head.Below the spiders was a vast amount of slimes that were moving in. But the spiders didn’t attack them as they thought it to be the slimes simply retreating to their homes.The many slimes that Kairo had absorbed were now tailing behind him and were using their powers to aid Flay by causing these spiders to stick to the ground or make slippery paths that prevented the spiders from clinging and climbing the walls as Flay moved in.Flay continued to fight as the tide of slimes moved ahead of him and caused the spiders to stick on the ground, preventing them from moving.The water slimes created paths for Flay that allowed him to slide down as he dove in and sped up towards the nest.Flay slashed and stabbed his way in, killing a few that he needed to kill but focused on chasing the massive spider.With his ability to see in the dark, Flay
Flay’s combat abilities were evolving because of the Slime Army he had with him. Unfortunately, with all their abilities to create sticky and slippery grounds, they either get stuck or would fall from trying to climb the wall.Flay even had his slimes morph into different weapons as he kept charging forward and switched from one weapon to another and making the attacks. Some of the spiders would even be stabbed and hacked with three different weapons!The chain-whip even lashed out and dug deep into the husk of a spider.Kairo was also experimenting on how to use his numerous slimes form and morphed into a slime creature that stabbed out a weapon that had become one of the poor-grade weapons which required no metal essence to form.The attacks were weak, but it seemed possible to the spiders even at that level!High G-ranked spiders could be wounded, and Kairo used his huge slime form to surround the spider and made several stabs all over its battle.Their fighting style became faster
The appearance of the Tamers, who casually brought out dozens of dead spiders and the parts of a giant spider whose massive figure was finally revealed to everyone, surprised the town's residents.“They told us of a giant spider. But I never thought it would be that big…!” The survivor that Flay and his team saved was amazed at the gigantic figure of the spider.“Pay up?” Several town officials frowned.“What do you mean pay up? We wanted you to clear the monster hordes inside! That’s what you promised.“Yes. And in a few weeks, maybe after this tournament, the cave will indeed be cleared out.” Flay explained.“That’s preposterous! While we thank you for killing such an incredible threat, it’s still not the contract and agreement we signed!” The official answered.The Blazer family didn’t say anything but continued to observe what they would do.“So you still won’t pay? I didn’t want to make a spectacle of this…” Flay sighed.“You didn’t want to make a spectacle? You made a march of m
In the village of Monster’s Edge…After the great sales that the group made, the Tamers had to face the harsh reality as the effects of the change in the Three H due to the Carcadon had increased.Monsters from the south and west began to pour in with beasts, and the scouting expedition gave their grave report.Village Chief Merick sat and listened to the head of the Maidenster give her report.Reyna Maidenster had a very tired expression. But she kept on as the situation that was erupting all over Monster’s Edge was crucial.“We have checked the south lands and can confirm the destruction of the Spike Turtles nest to the southwest of this place. And because of that, numerous bog monsters are approaching. The Spike Turtles had a perfect Habitat which naturally protected us from the flow of newer predators. But now, there are wandering packs of different species appearing. The Red-Faced Hyenas, who have numbers as many as the Might Wolves up north, are moving in. Xandra… Can the Harass
The mercenaries began to tell the stories of what had happened inside. They told of Liathel’s daring proposal that many people laughed at and how she proposed to clear the entire cave of the monster threat. Dirk, Rachel, and those who had witnessed Flay’s power realized that it was possible to clear the cave without fighting. However, if he sent his slime to devour the entire slime colony, then the ecosystem would collapse! They began to chuckle as they could imagine how easy it would be for the team to resolve the issue! But the stories continued, and finally, it reached the part where numerous groups began to speak up. The testimonies began in order. First, they spoke of the traps they fell in and only spoke of the scenarios they fell into and would ask the Tamers what to do. “It’s a trap! Imps do that to lure their prey in!” A tamer could not help but exclaim. The group that Flay saved laughed and nodded and confirmed the story. The next team who testified after the first gr
The Elite Tamers recalled the terrifying ordeal of their battle against the Giant Funnel Web Spider and how a High F-Ranked monster could have killed so many knights and warriors. Even the mages were caught in the traps of the beast.But now, that beast would have easily reached Low E-Ranked as it managed to find the perfect breeding ground!The Ruby spider was proof of the luxurious life the spider had. Such mutations could only happen when the beasts have so much food that the composition of their sons and daughters would change in form.“He killed it?!” Merick asked.“Yes. We saw him bring the entire body of the spider out. It was strange. It had so many rocks on it. The soldiers of the Kingdom could not easily confirm if this was the spider. That’s what they did to discredit Flay’s efforts. The spider they fought had no rocks around it.”“What?! Of course, it didn’t have stones and rocks around it! You said there were trolls inside the cave, right? That explains how it grew! It mus
Flay had once more become the talk of the town, and the Tamers were vindicated from the past reports.The anger of the Kingdom knights increased as they were regarded by many to be vastly incompetent.Many reports of nearby villages also surfaced on how the Kingdom treated their petitions to resolve the rising issues of various monster nests nearby. But most hunt requests were treated poorly, and the people themselves had to take up arms and fight the beasts at the cost of many lives. The people kept quiet about it, but now with a spectacle that Flay and his team made, and the appearance of Great Teacher Everus that claimed how the massive spider that was hunted by Flay’s team was the very same one that terrorized the town and claimed the lives of many men hunting at the mountainside of the massive walls.Many have sent their envoys towards the Tamers the previous day. But as the day dawned, talks about Flay and the Tamers were lost as a new event was fast approaching.The Lower Weste
Flay was even more intrigued.He had just shown the entire Beastmaster tribe his ability, yet they were certain he would die.He had just fought against an Expert, and while others were skeptical of his attempts, it was still a very impressive feat.“I guess I shouldn’t press my luck. Besides, there are more important matters at hand… This place has too many enemies. I have to also regain much of my lost strength and awaken the Eos System.” Flay decided. If this Chimera was something so powerful that everyone was convinced he was still inadequate, he would have to pursue other means to gain strength.“What is this… chimera?” Estelle asked in the midst of the angry accusations of Darwood and Trailtree.“My king… That is the beast that we have sealed long ago. The creature who was once sealed at the death of my great grandfather.” Primeroot finally spoke.“Trovine Primeroot… The greatest Beast Master who achieved the impossible and reached beyond Great Expert…” The King recalled.“Yes.
Narood and the other experts and high-level adjuncts returned with a rather confident look on themselves.“It seems you finally are agreeing.” Flay smiled.“We will agree. That staff is too much of a prize for us. But... Instead of Tenscream, we will offer you another beast instead. An Expert just like Tenscream. But, you have to tame it. You are confident of taming them, aren’t you?” Narood smiled.“Hmmm... Depends. I’m not saying that I can tame any and all monsters. There are several that will take a lot of effort.” Flay recalled the monsters he faced in his world. Particularly, the Carcadon.“I wonder if they tamed him?” Flay thought to himself.The strange expression and distant gaze of Flay irritated the beastmasters.“Then since we are all agreed...” Narood smiled.“Go and start taming them. Of course, we will set a time limit. You have five minutes! Show us! Show us how one can be the pack leader of the wolves!” Narood taunted.Everyone gave a curious look at Flay.“Here’s a l
Flay's words caused a great commotion and surprise to all who listened.Zegwood was shocked at Flay's declaration. But as a few seconds passed, the arrogant rookie's implication and demand slowly settled in his head."What?! A mere Rookie demands to take away my Tamed Beast?!""I already took control of it and made it attack you. Why not?" Flay sneered."That...! That was a trick! An evil trick!""So? I have the skill! Has anyone ever controlled your monster apart from yourself?" Flay countered."My monster is linked to my staff! Without the staff, you wouldn't have tamed it!""Did anyone manage to tame your beast using the staff?" Flay asked.There was silence as everyone awkwardly looked at each other.Zegwood was turning blue from holding back his breath and the urge to smack the kid before him."And you were doing a poor job at managing the kennels, I'll tell you that much. The wolves would grow stronger if allowed to roam in the wild. I was only planning to tame a few wolves and
The three generals revealed their power, which made the beastmasters cower.These were the strongest generals who often guarded the walls!But as Kairo had explained, they were actually weaker!Most of the Experts didn't pay much heed to this. After all, the three could have only revealed whatever portion of their power they were comfortable with.Only those who knew of the poison were delighted at how fast the progress was. A few months ago, no changes could be seen. But now, it was becoming increasingly clear."... It's so rare to see all three of you abandon your post. Especially now that the Beast of Dark Savagery lingers outside our walls." Narood answered.His eyes had an arrogance in him, for he knew, soon, he would surpass these three!"The Beast of Dark Savagery has all been slain. Remember their sudden retreat in the last war? They were being summoned. And they were all killed by the Master of that boy you are trying to kill." Holy Knight Galavus answered with certainty.Eve
The people who closed the doors were now panicking to open the gates. They were being forced to keep them closed as one of the prominent beast-taming families gave the orders not to let anyone in. But now, with their lives and families on the line, no one dared to keep the gates closed and be charged with treason.Holy Knight Galavus was famous for the incident known as the Path of Red that occurred in the previous wars against the Joverus Kingdom Alliance.It was here that the power of the Kalenshore Kingdom was revealed.For while the rest practiced magic, they combined it with Brute power and revolutionized warfare.At the center of all this was Holy Knight Galavus, who was the strongest and eventually led the other Experts to his path.When a great battle between the kingdoms happened, an ambush forced the King to retreat.Galavus stayed and fought against several Experts and an army.But his defenses were simply too firm, and his Brute, too powerful that all the magics that struck
Flay continued his casual stroll about the kennels and observed the wolves one at a time.Secretly, Kairo was busy wandering just like a casual slime would and would approach the kennels.But unknown to them, the slime was draining the magic from the kennels as it moved from one place to the other.“Flay!” Darwood shouted as he rushed towards his ally. The rest of the team followed, except Vem.“You are being summoned back.” Darwood spoke.All of them could not look Flay in the eyes after they were all berated for accepting bribes.Flay shrugged and moved with them, but his slimes continued to wander about.No one took any concern of the slimes and walked back.Behind him was the chaos of the ongoing debate.“Where is he?!” An enraged official demanded.“Bring him back here before that troublemaker starts creating more chaos!”“He is here!” Darwood called out.“What’s going on?” Flay asked Darwood.Darwood looked very angry, annoyed at Flay’s casual behavior, and even wandered out.Da
The crowd was silenced by Flay's suggestion.If the Princess was saved, she could clarify everything being discussed."I'm sure she would settle and fix everything here." Flay also added."If it's the princess…" One of the High Adepts thought."The Princess? Why would we bring her here? Is she even the Princess?" The expert that healed Tenscream asked."What do you mean by... that?" Ephesus frowned."We know that within the kingdom, assassinations and infiltrations have happened. The Dark Priest enlists Mimics who have entered this city. Have you tested her to see if she is a mimic?""If you think mere mimics can stand before us and fool us, then we would not have been her guard! Is not Vallenhall with us?" Ephesus challenged."Indeed. Great Experts. I am High Adept Terence. Lava Mage and Formation Specialist. This was a suspicion we had, and I already used an area magic to see whether or not she was the Princess. After all, Mimics are fearful of the fire. But the Princess shot her ma
The fight and even the interruption of the Expert happened so fast.Apart from Ephesus, all of the allies of the Princess were watching from the side.The traitor Vem couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed. He hoped the boy would die, but the battle that transpired before him ended with an Expert down on the ground.If he hadn’t seen it, he wouldn’t have believed that a Rookie was able to bringThe strongest members of the Beast Master clan arrived.Surrounding the few Experts were also members of the tribe's elites. The commotion had caused anyone near to scurry over to see what had happened. The strongest high-level Adepts accompanied the few experts.The Expert, who shouted at Flay and summoned a powerful Brute voice, was startled at his fast reaction.One of the Adepts had moved over to the frog, and by injecting Brute, the energy invading the frog’s heart was dispelled.To hide his secret, Flay stopped pressuring the frog by enslaving it with his Pluton powers. The staff tha
Because of Flay’s innate ability to gauge a person's Brute and Magic energy, Flay could quickly tell where he could land a powerful damage. He knew that Ephesus would go to his defense. He commanded the Cerberus to make a bite on the other leg. The Brute energy was divided between the legs and the arm. And because of this, Flay weakened that part of the body. Flay’s pitiful strength of 12 points, added with 20 points of Brute energy, half of his defenses of 17 points, and 10 points worth of magic, totaled 59 points worth of punch. This attack would be equal to a mid-level apprentice's. It shouldn’t leave damage to the defenses of any average expert. But in that specific scenario, the guard of Zegwood and the natural vulnerability of that area was enough. Had his stat point been three points lower, this attack would not have worked, and if the Expert was in any way more guarded, then his natural Brute could easily defend against it. POW! Flay's fist dug deep into the groin as it
