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
Liathel was amazed to see two powerful figures appear.Those watching the group were also amazed at the sudden progression of the events from a simple tamer chasing his slime to two famed champions fighting.The Six Scabbard Slayer sneered when he heard the answer that the Hero of the Horde gave.“You speak in strange mystery, Hero.”“Order your men to retreat, Scabbard. Your lord needs you.”“My lord will demand the blood of the Tamer.”“By the time your lord records, the other powers and duke will have arrived. They will defend the Tamer. Or have you not been made aware that that tamer found the Water Core? Your knight calls that man disgusting and challenges him to pollute the air. But you will lose in this. The other dukes will change the rules because these Tamers have a chance at finding Low-Grade Water cores. And mark my words, should you choose to fight, you will find that your blades will meet something it can’t cut.”The two swords continued to meet and push against each oth
The Hero of the Horde was taken aback by Flay’s words.This was a dark secret he kept hidden from all and was the reason for his very lonesome disposition. But all of a sudden, this mysterious teen revealed many secrets about himself!“Tamer Hero? You seemed quite shocked.”“How...! How did you know?”“Several things helped me figure that out. But the one I’m most curious about is your Taming Hand.” Flay pointed to the Shield Gauntlet.“You know of my Taming Hand?!”“You wouldn’t be a Tamer if you didn’t have one.” Flay chuckled.“A famed swordsman known to carry a Shield Gauntlet while dual-wielding. And yet, I haven’t heard of you ever using that shield. I doubt you need it. Obviously, it's to hide your Taming Hands. You see, ever since the last hunt and the awakening of many powers and my slimes, I was soon able to sense Taming Hand of others.” Flay lied. The truth was that Kairo detected it when the Hero of the Horde fought in front of him in the clash earlier.“But with your myst
Legacy Maidenster was surprised when he saw Flay move inside the home of Hector the Magnanimous.He naturally became cautious as Legacy had believed Hector to be a warlock.Flay moved inside and headed for the massive cauldron's innermost chambers.“So he’s dying?” Flay spoke to Kairo.“It seemed so. When he reveals his face, I can see a clear form of poison that had been injected into him. That’s what caused his grotesque form. And it makes sense! He is strong because of a strange poison that greedily consumes his lifespan.”“Can it be cured? Can this parasite be killed?”“Doing so will weaken him or even kill him. So it shouldn’t be a simple parasite.”“Yeah. I haven’t heard of a parasite that can poison someone and make them stronger.”“It’s not just one parasite. Remember, our enemies are warlocks. Warlocks often experiment with combining and breeding creatures they would kill to add to their bodies. That is how they become strong. Perhaps the warlocks were looking for ways to cre
Ligz and the rest of his friends waited outside to greet the arrival of their families. Soon, the march of the Tamers could be seen, and numerous baron groups followed them. Other tamers usually wouldn’t join the hunt that was present among the Baron and mercenary groups. As the groups approached, the Tamers cheered as they saw Arthen, Ligz, and Clint. “Good job!” Chief Merick smiled as he saw the trio. “Arthen, my boy! You’re a bit of a celebrity!” A white-haired man with a black-haired woman sat on a Bewilderbison. “Father… Mother…” Arthen chuckled as he bowed to the two. “Chris and Dana Renfield has agreed to go on a trade. They help us fix some of the monster dens near our homes, and in return, they learn of our knowledge of cultivating the fields and some of the seeds.” A baron approached. This was one of the Barons that Arthen saved. “Thank you, Lord Baron!” Arthen expressed his gratitude. Clint had no father and mother as they had died during the plague. But all three
Merick followed Flay, and the pair talked in a secret location.“Who is that man? He’s so fast and strong!” Merick immediately asked when they met.“He is the Hero of the Horde. A Tamer. Someone who was experimented by the Warlocks.” Flay revealed.“What?! That’s the famous Hero of the Horde?!”“Yes. His name is Legacy Maidenster.”“Legacy?! He’s alive?!”Flay relayed the story and told Merick what had happened to Legacy.As Flay and Merick continued talking, Hector the Magnanimous had begun his show. Kairo was using his powers to gather more energy and create pills that astounded the people around them.The viscounts and core extractors were amazed at the process that Hector
Unlike the previous time ‘Hector’ took in requests, the crowds were easily cleared out this time.With the creation of the Poison Slime and the Fire Slime, Kairo's absorption powers had increased as he could use alchemy and even draw out more than just the energy in the core. Kairo could even gather the elemental essences to create his alchemy slime!The two slimes could form into a thick liquid that Legacy used as props in his theatrical performances.In the previous time, Flay had to do his best to hide the power of the green slime, so numerous ingredients were used to cover it up, and he had very few amazing things to make the quick core extracting easier.But now, the Fire slime had assumed a flat form and was glowing so much heat that no one could understand what it was. In addition, the poison slime that stood next to the Fire Slime had turned into an almost liquid form and would leak out poisonous gases that caused many to retreat.All of this made it look like Hector the Magna
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
