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
The wolf had evolved before everyone’s eyes.To the beast master, the evolution of beasts was among their research's highest points. Through this, they could give life to the beast and strengthen it by another layer.The problem was the low survival stats. The pills themselves were expensive to create, and as the evolution pills have such a great backlash to the animals, only the strong, those who were Low to Mid E ranked monsters that could match with Adepts, were used.But since they died ninety percent of the time, it was a path that few Beast Masters could afford to give.And yet, the Bloodline Evolution pill worked with great effectiveness! The wolf didn’t go through the painful suffering, and it didn’t take weeks. The evolution happened in mere minutes and displayed significant results!And Jero was just a Mid F Ranked beast!The eyes of amazement turned into lust as everyone desired to take whatever pill that was from the young man!Cerberus lovingly approached its master, who
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
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
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
A young man was floating on the calm waters. Miraculously, he was still alive despite fighting the currents for so long.The first thing he saw when he woke up was a shiny, glittering light at the edge of the dark cave he found himself in.“Where… am I?” The young boy slowly crawled out of the pond that he was in. The darkness of the cave would have made it impossible for him to see if not for the light on the other side.“What happened?” The young man began to recall what had happened.As he was still groggy, it took him some time to recall what had happened.He was with his fellow Tamers investigating a mysterious thump that he heard which led them deep down a certain cave. They found a massive underground river that rushed out, and an ambush of a powerful pack of wolves occurred, and the young man fell into this river
Flay had remembered that the mysterious glowing pool could dissolve monsters that only their bones remained. Flay had also seen how deep the pit was. Even with the long, sickle arms, it would be easy for this half-mantis to leave.Flay ran towards the pool and relied on his hearing to tell if the mantis would throw itself forward, and Flay would make a sharp and low turn to avoid it.After successfully evading it several times, Flay was close to the pool. The manti jumped up once more, and Flay didn’t retreat but charged forward to block that attack of the mantis.CLASH!The sand blocked the two sickle-like arms.Flay relied on the fact that this mantis had no lower half, and Flay pushed back.His plan worked. The mantis didn't have the balance to stay still, and it began to push harder at Flay.Flay th
