Vallenhal had taken the Princess and quickly moved out.But this was Vallenhal’s plan to quickly separate Estelle from the strange man. This was also so that he could personally talk to Estelle.“Princess...” Vallenhal began. There was some worry in his voice. The Princess wouldn’t randomly attack someone just like that. But now, for this strange man, she did attack Vem!“How often do I have to tell you to call me sister or at least call me by name if we are alone together.” Estelle frowned.Vallenhal was surprised at Estelle's sudden tone.“Erm... Sis. That man you have... How do I put it... He’s...?”“Do you think you can defeat him?” Estelle suddenly asked.“Wha- what?”“Flay. He said that you’d notice. Is it... something about strong people that they see things beyond the norm?”“...So you know that that youth isn’t normal.”“No. I said that he helped me and saved me. But in truth, he takes about eighty percent of the credit. I may have launched the killing blow to kill the bishop
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.
Stellar stones were stones of great rarity. In the magically oriented planet that Flay was currently in, the thick magic allowed plants and ores to naturally be born in magic. Still, very few objects were born to harness it.Stones from space were the rare resource that naturally devoured and kept the magic to in itself. This innate power to store magic would allow the mages to craft high-level magic stones and create a Mid-Grade Core!“Stellar… Rocks!” The old mage nearly collapsed. How could this child gather enough of these stones to create at least three Cores?!“With the thick magic in this place, you should be able to create a Mid-Grade Elemental Core.But it was true. A potent coating had covered the stellar rocks with some strange greenish coat. Yet it did not corrupt or weaken the stone but masked all impurities that might taint it away from it!“This…! Where did you…?! How did you?!”“Now… I’m not a mage, but if it’s formation, artifact slotting, and other alchemy-related fie
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
The King and Queen had a private meeting with Estelle. Though the city rejoiced at her return, no one could ever guess the stories that she now had laid out before them.The king was amazed at the stories that her daughter gave.Estelle continued on by saying what exactly Flay had faced in his place. And though Estelle told it as if Flay was from another continent, the stories of treacheries and divisions of what the Abaddons used surprised them.“As he said, the strategy is to give people power or something they will want and yearn for. This will fuel their greed. This will push them to desires and actions that they never once made. And so, division happens. They cause division by giving blessings, power, or even secrets! I have seen and heard of many battles and conflicts within our kingdoms. From small ones to greater ones. From royal families to merchants and even to our own family.” Estelle revealed it all.“The Bishop had served due to his desires for the secret powers of the cr
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
Flay was a tamer at heart. Perhaps it was due to his bloodline as one of the ancient Marvels, but taming a monster for him was a bond that had to be created. He can pass that bond on to another, but only if he is sure there is a bond. When he offered to tame a monster for the group, he knew everyone would be excited and cherish it. Especially since he planned to tame Low-E ranked beasts. Taming a beast would be detrimental, given the adventures that he had to make. He already had Kairo, the slime, and Stryder, the Night Mare. These two could keep up and even compliment him, allowing him to hide the true powers that he wielded. But Kairo spoke of an Anomalous Beast bloodline that would be his ally. Flay was intrigued by this and desired a dark creature to be his ally. After all, if he could create an Anomlous Beast of shadowy, dark form, he could use his Dark powers to summon monsters using Pluton. Flay turned to Darwood after much contemplation. “Master Flay? Do you accept my term
“Beast Master Darwood?” Flay asked again.Darwood and the rest were awakened from their shock.“Ma-Master Flay… How did you silence the entire…?”“Trade secret. Now, about this young wolf right here… Does anyone know of it’s story?”The beastmasters guarding the kennels saw the wolf that Flay was referring to.“That wolf…?” One of the Beast Masters asked.“Isn’t that Jero?” The other spoke.“Jero? Is there anything interesting about Jero’s history?”“That wolf is known as the avenger. He is… rather famous in these kennels.”“Oh… So it’s that one!” Darwood spoke.“Oh? Tell me more…”“As you may know, we often pit the wolves against each other in combat. This is to determine who the next Alpha could be among them. It is a battle to the death.”“Very stupid, but that’s not important now. Move on.” Flay spoke.The two beast masters frowned at Flay's statement, but Darwood continued.“The father of Jero was slain. While we try our best to save the wolves, deaths happen every so often. Espe
