STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

After running for a while, Jeremy came to a hidden spot where the place was covered with overgrown vegetation and tall trees. It’s impossible for others to spot from a long distance.

Jeremy then sat down on the small bedrock. His heart calmed down a little. Only then was he able to think clearly.

Since the 2nd years were involved, he thought it’s no longer safe for him to act alone. He took out a digital device and saw that there was a weak signal available.

Phew!

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Jeremy didn’t waste any more time. He quickly started typing the message. His message was short and simple. He explained what was going on here.

Then he requested immediate help.

After typing the content, he sent it to Instructor Jacob. He was happy that the weak signal was present because he was not far from the City Wall.

Just as he put away the digital device, he heard a commotion again.

Jeremy raised his head and saw a 5ft tall and more than 8 ft in length dark Salamander-type beast appear out of the bushes.

He immediately recognized it must be the Beast Tamer’s Lifeline Beast. His expression turned dark. With the Lifeline Beast’s ability, it’s difficult to hide from them in the wilderness.

He held the katana blade in his right hand again. Since he had reported the basic situation, he was not afraid of taking risks anymore.

Swoosh!

A total of six 2nd Year Beast Tamers from the Attack Department appeared, followed by Robin, Rudi, and others.

Jeremy’s eyes turned cold. He saw that these six people were completely in disguise, but he could tell that they were from the Attack Department as well.

One of them stepped forward and looked at Jeremy.

He said, ”You are not surprised. I think you have figured out our identity. It’s a pity. I was hoping for a peaceful conversation.”

”Since you have found out our identity, it’s impossible to let you go alive,” he added.

Just a couple of minutes ago, they got confirmation from the Family. Since their plan was exposed, the Families didn’t want Jeremy Night to come back alive.

Having Jeremy Night alive is more dangerous for them than having him dead.

The faces of Robin, Rudi, and others changed as well. They had now become part of the mess too.

”What are you guys doing?”

”Encircle the place and prevent him from escaping,” the 2nd year scolded the 1st years who were in a daze.

Robin, Rudi, and others immediately acted and surrounded the area.

Jeremy Night thought it would be futile to make a run again. But he never expected them to take such extreme measures. Their plan was different earlier.

Now it had changed because he figured out their identity.

The 2nd year then moved toward Jeremy Night slowly.

The one who spoke earlier dashed toward him all of a sudden. None of the 2nd years bothered to summon their Lifeline Beast because they were Tier-2 Beast Tamers.

They were confident in dealing with Jeremy Night.

Jeremy saw that the one who spoke earlier was using a weapon. He took out a long spear to attack him. At the same time, Jeremy noticed the other five Beast Tamers as well.

He needed to figure out their talents as soon as possible so as not to be taken aback by surprise.

Swoosh!

When the spear got closer to him, he sidestepped enough to evade the attack. The pointy spearhead hit the empty air. If any other Tier-1 Beast Tamer had been there, his body would have been riddled with holes.

At the same time, the other Beast Tamers closed in. They released their attacks one after another.

Swoosh!

Jeremy Night saw an arrow shot at him. The next moment, he moved his body away from the arrow’s trajectory. His senses were at an all-time high because of the Supreme Combat Body Talent. The arrow missed him narrowly.

Boom!

The arrow then struck the empty ground, causing smoke to rise. Using the opportunity, Jeremy slowly retreated to the edge.

The 2nd Year Beast Tamer who was using the spear was shocked. They didn’t expect Jeremy Night to be so responsive and fluid in his movements.

The one who shot the arrow was shocked as well. It was difficult to evade the arrow compared to the spear.

”We have to use our Lifeline Beasts,” he commented.

Hearing that, others agreed as well. One by one, they summoned their Lifeline Beasts. Jeremy Night was still inside the encirclement. The 1st years were obviously scared. They didn’t want to face Jeremy Night.

Swoosh!

At this time, Jeremy saw the 2nd years summoning their Lifeline Beasts. If they each brought out their Lifeline Beasts to attack, then it would become impossible for him to escape.

Meanwhile, in University 14, Instructor Jacob was busy doing other work. He lazily looked at his watch and found some unread messages. He recalled one that came a few minutes ago.

Out of curiosity, he opened the message to read it. But when his eyes fell on the contact name, they flickered.

Because the person who sent him a message was none other than Jeremy Night.

”Why did he send me a message?” he murmured.

Then he started to go through the message. In a couple of seconds, his face filled with horror and disbelief. Jacob controlled his emotions before going through the message again.

”Attack Department!”

”How dare they?” Jacob cursed out loud.

Apart from him, there was no one in his cabin. If people had been there, they would have been shocked by his outburst.

Swoosh!

Jeremy Night swiftly left the cabin and went to the 1st Year Training Ground. Soon, he met with Instructor Ariel Burt and showed her the message.

Instructor Ariel Burt was shocked and dumbfounded as well. She then summoned her Lifeline Beast. A huge eagle over 10 ft tall appeared in front of her.

Without wasting time, both of them sat back on the eagle.

Ariel gave instructions to her Lifeline Beast. The Giant Eagle let out a low cry before starting to fly. Its huge body appeared in the mid-air.

Those who were near the Training Ground spotted the Giant Eagle flying.
