The thunderous stomps of the Mammoth and its massive frame rushed out, and its dark chains extended.
The charge was fast and strong, and the face of the Mammoth began to blur.
It was a power that could kill Adept Knights in the Kingdom. The speed would be too fast for them to evade.
Flay began to run to the sides, but the Mammoth’s charge locked on Flay.
“For a huge thing, he has a high speed stat!” Flay admired as he saw the horrifying sight.
But Flay was not worried. His agility/dexterity was one of his most advantageous stat. And even beyond that, Kairo knew that Flay’s speed wasn’t solely because of this stat. Flay would always move a step ahead of the enemy as if he could tell what the enemy would do.
“Here it is again… His terrifying battle instincts. He ca
The mammoth was choking from the gas sent out and from the fire attack that struck its mouth. Because of its tusk and trunk, the mouth was hidden and was actually one of the more vulnerable parts of the mammoth's body.It continued to thrash wildly and blindly swung its tusks and trunks, and the Brute Power just kept on exploding out.The Smog of Death could kill Rookies and mid leveled Apprentices. But, for a beast that has Adept power, it would only result in mild paralysis. The mammoth felt strange grogginess on its body and could sense that its body was becoming more and more numb.Flay began to hold Kairo and made him transform into the form of a Slime. He had one more fire charge and planned to use it as an attack.“The Smog of Death sure is getting to it. Look at the mammoth waste its energy and rage like that.” Flay chuckled.
Flay and Dirk were up in the air as they were flying back to where they were. Along the way, Dirk kept asking Flay what he did and how he managed to defeat the mammoth. The mammoth was so strong, and Dirk knew that his strongest attack wouldn’t be able to hurt it! So how did Flay manage to wound that beast? “As I said, it was all self-inflicted. I used my speed to trick it into hurting itself. You saw what I did to Elrik’s Komodo. I did something like that.” “Something like that?! The Cavern Komodo and that Three-Tusked Mammoth cannot be compared to each other! You were fighting something that could kill Battle Steeds!” It was hungry and weak. I made it go wild, and it lost control an
A few hours ago, when Flay and Dirk had left for the skies, and the Tamers had yet to march...Xandra continued to observe the state of the camp as Glum and Petra made their rounds. At the same time, Xandra continued to create a plan that would be helpful to them and the camp.Her thoughts wandered into the powers and skills of Flay, the abilities of the Slime, and how it could be used.“No... Only Flay could do that. His dexterity is definite two times more than mine. And his natural fighting instincts are just too horrifying. I doubt anyone else can do what Flay did without any prior training...” Xandra recalled the battle Flay had with the Komodo.“Flay has to get even stronger in this hunt. If he can fight a Low to
The identities of the Tamers that Elrik spoke to were startling.But just as Flay and Dirk thought they had everyone, Elrik was headed to a certain part of the camp and directly headed for someone.“No! it can’t be!” Dirk was stunned as he saw it.“Is he…?” Flay asked.“No! It’s not true! He can’t be!”Elrik approached a tamer who Dirk knew well. He was a strong young man with a very muscular build. He was a close friend of Dirk and had been his partner in many adventures in the past. This man was also the one who was able to help Dirk tame the Five Talon Great Eagle.Elrik spoke to the man, and this man nodded.“It’s a lie… It must be a mistake! Elrik! He’s just talking to Rook! That’s i
Petra and Glum knew that Doren and Camder would push them down the pit. Dirk had already told them where the trap was.And so, the pair moved and made it so easy for them. Both moved side by side and allowed Camder to point them where the cave was.The two traitors were warry of the monsters of the two.The Bewilderbison of Glum was strong, and not even their monsters could take it. But when they said that the cave was small, Glum ordered his beast to stay at the side.As for Petra’s Whip Python, Petra ordered it to wrap around his body like a suit of armor.And in that form, the python could not bite or cling to the hole once Petra was pushed.And so the two walked behind them, and when they were just a few steps away from the hole, Doren acted first and pushed Petra.And Camder followed.They had dropped their guard and were easily pushed into the hole.“What?!”“No!”The pai
Elrik kept rushing through the Grasslands. The plan had worked, and he was excited to meet the great Warlock. The deaths of his allies were not even in his thoughts. He knew this service would lead to his taming Hand becoming stronger!The power of the Taming Hand that allowed him to transfer the ownership of a beast to him was something that he couldn’t do. However, he knew that his Taming Hand would be strengthened.As he was running through the thick grass but yet somehow knew the exact direction he would take, Flay was busy stuffing Kairo with the grass around them to create a green balm.“If we keep a certain distance, we can use this green coat to camouflage ourselves,” Flay explained.“You think they’re safe? The Might Wolves broke through the wall...” Xandra asked with a worried expression.“They’re strong. I hated to fight with them. But when we did, I could tell that they won’t fall. O
Back outside, the collapse of the ranks forced numerous tamers to reposition themselves on certain parts and create other monster walls to protect themselves from the wolves.All Tamers were called, and they all defended the group as Dirk claimed that the wolf was in retreat and the Panthers were chasing them.But the attack had led to the deaths of several of the traitor's monsters,The Alpha had been wounded, and too many wolves have died. Two veterans and another tamer with several experiences in the hunts also died. They were all part of the traitors as they lost their monsters and were attacked themselves.Dirk continued to fly and attack as the wolves began to retreat angrily, killing more wolves. But his anger was mixed with guilt
As Morholt and Elrik began to talk, Flay had already taken out the red balm that contained a lot of the Bloody Ambrosia and threw it towards the entrance of the cave.Since the balm was soft, it didn’t make any sounds as it fell.Morholt was surprised at Elrik’s declaration and began to ask for the details.“Tell me everything.” Elrik began to tell the tale at the start of the Hunt. He even gave an introduction about the tales and deeds of Flay.“Flay Eulser. His father is a tamer of mysterious power. Rumor has it that he’s the only Tamer to have reached the Adept stage and has a Teal jewel!”“Where is this man? Why haven’t I heard
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
