STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Jeremy Night continues to go further. All of a sudden, he sensed that the natural energy in the surroundings was denser. For a second, he thought it was just his imagination. But when he paid attention to his mental zone, he found something interesting.

He saw that an unknown egg was actively absorbing the natural energy from the surroundings. He could feel the natural energy entering his body and then getting absorbed by the unknown egg.

After realizing this, he stopped moving forward and tried to run the inner healing method. The natural energy entered his body. He immediately felt that the natural energy was purer than in the normal environment.

He then stopped practicing and began to ponder. Right now, there were people after his life. He had widened the gap. But if he stayed here, they would catch up to him again.

Jeremy’s eyes flashed with a struggle. But he didn’t want to let go of this opportunity. He thought there must be a reason behind this pure natural energy. Either it could be some natural resources or treasure plants that grew here.

After giving it some thought, he decided to face them. He held the katana in his right hand and prepared to confront them.

Shortly afterward,

The six 2nd Year Beast Tamers arrived. Upon seeing Jeremy Night, they heaved a sigh of relief. But the next moment, they also noticed something different about the environment.

”We found a treasure spot,” one of them uttered in shock.

Hearing that, the others sensed the purity of the natural energy as well.

”Ha... Ha... Ha....”

”After finishing him, we can enjoy the natural resources,” the tallest beast tamer among them said with a laugh.

At this time, Robin, Rudi, and others joined as well. They didn’t know what the seniors were discussing. But upon seeing Jeremy in front of them, they all felt relief.

”Let’s see how you can dodge my spear right now,” a 2nd Year Beast Tamer charged toward him again.

Jeremy saw others bringing out their lifeline beasts. Since things had come down to this, he had decided to use his full strength.

Swoosh!

He channeled the Starlight energy into the katana blade. In the blink of an eye, the blade shone with starlight.

The 1st Year Beast Tamers, Robin and Rudi, were startled. Seeing that Jeremy was using some kind of ability, they couldn’t help but realize that Jeremy Night had yet to fight using his full strength.

When the spearhead got closer to him, he slightly moved his body to avoid the attack. At the same time, he drew his katana and made an upward cut.

The blade cut through the air before striking the shoulder of the 2nd Year Beast Tamer. The starlight energy-covered blade went inside the flesh just like that before touching the shoulder bones.

Argh!

The 2nd Year Beast Tamer let out a shrill cry. The spear in his hand dropped to the ground. A thick stream of red blood was dripping from his shoulder.

Jeremy stopped the blade right at the point of contact with the bones. If he moved further, he could easily cut through the bones. But this would cripple the Beast Tamer.

He didn’t know whether there was a cure available to heal broken bones. After hearing the Beast Tamer’s cry, he withdrew the katana.

Meanwhile,

Ariel Burt and Jacob Henry were getting a confession from the injured person. They came to realize that the Beast Tamer was none other than their 1st Year Student.

Both Ariel and Jacob recognized his face after some thought. The 1st Year Beast Tamer had spilled everything, including the plot of the 2nd Year Beast Tamers.

Ariel Burt and Jacob were shocked. They knew it because of Jeremy Night’s message. But still, they found it hard to believe after hearing the confession.

”Let’s go and save him first,” Jacob said.

Ariel gave him a syringe filled with a cure. In one shot, the Beast Tamer could heal half of his serious injuries. It was also one of the developments of the Human Alliance.

The 1st Year Beast Tamer’s eyes sparkled. He had heard about this cure before, but it was expensive to buy. Right now, he could completely recover with the help of the syringe.

Cry!

The Giant Eagle let out a cry. Ariel and Burt sat back on the eagle. She then gave a command. The Eagle let out a cry before rising from the ground.

The Eagle then appeared in mid-air before continuing to fly forward. The 1st Year Beast Tamer could get back to the University by himself after fully healing.

Meanwhile,

Roar!

A Tier-2 four-legged lifeline beast pounced at him. Jeremy swiftly slashed with the blade. The katana blade moved in a horizontal line before slicing through the beast’s skin and flesh smoothly.

When Jeremy withdrew the katana, he saw a deep red horizontal line left on the beast’s body.

Pfff!

A torrent of blood spurted from the red line the next second. The lifeline beast dropped to the ground due to the injury.

It was losing blood at an alarming rate. If this continued, the lifeline beast might die.

Gasp!

A collective gasp sounded. No one expected Jeremy Night to injure a Tier-2 Lifeline Beast with ease. Now they seemed to realize the seriousness of those rumors.

Jeremy Night had killed a Corrupted Tier-3 Beast before. For him, they were not a match at all. No one wanted their lifeline beast to be the next to face the deadly katana blade.

Especially the 1st years, who saw that in one swing, the lifeline beast was rendered immobile.

The 2nd Year Beast Tamers’ faces turned ugly. They had come to kill him, but the other party was playing the pig while actually being a tiger.

Seeing that the 2nd Year Beast Tamers and their lifeline beasts were no match for Jeremy Night, the 1st years were quite scared. They were in the mess as well, especially Robin and Rudi, whose expressions were filled with fear.

”Everyone attack him right now. No one should give him a chance to breathe,” a 2nd Year shouted. His words were especially directed at the 1st years as well.

The 1st years were going to be cannon fodder while the 2nd years would launch a decisive blow.
