STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Wilderness:

One of the Jackals attacks Jeremy Night.

The deadly jaw of the beast was close to him. He evades the front attack before swinging the blade.

Slash!

The katana blade cuts through the wind before slicing through the neck of the Jackal. The starlight energy felt no resistance. It easily cuts through the blood vessels.

Puchak!

The blood explodes from the wound. The Jackal’s body staggered backwards. By using the opportunity, he swings his blade again.

This time the blade cuts through the remaining part of the neck. The decapitated head falls down to the ground the next moment.

Puchak!

The process was complete and smooth. It happened within minutes. The corpse dropped to the ground while blood gushed forth from the neck.

Jeremy didn’t stop his attack. He charges forward to attack the remaining beasts.

Cut!

His blade dances in the air before stabbing the head of the second jackal. The jackal was caught off guard. Its Tier-4 defence crumbled under the starlight power.

The skull cracked before the brain was cut into pieces by the blade.

Puchak!

Blood burst out from the head and splattered on the ground. The second jackal died just like that.

Sinag and Ada stood in disbelief and shock.

Even if they saw it beforehand, the scene was still shocking to them.

Jeremy hacked down the Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts, like he had done it.

”Attack!” Sinag said to her lifeline beast.

Hum!

The Green butterfly launches a sound attack.

Ada came to her senses as well.

She said to her bear lifeline beast to protect them. But she thinks it’s unnecessary.

Jeremy Night can take down the remaining beast before their help reaches him.

Meanwhile,

Charles manages to kill 2 Tier-4 Jackals by using his fists alone. But he had used his lifeline beast ability, which boosted his strength.

Still, there are two more Jackals left. They are trying to attack him from both sides.

Growl!

The 2 Jackals’ eyes were reddened in anger. They were totally enraged because of their members’ deaths.

Charles catches his breath for a second. It’s been a long time since he has fought without the Lifeline beast. Then he glances at the team.

”What the f@ck?” He blurted out in surprise.

He saw 2 corpses of the Jackals. The newcomer is confronting the third Tier-4 Jackal. His pupils shrink.

If the newcomer can still fight like this, then what if he uses his lifeline beast? Charles broke out into a cold sweat.

He doesn’t want the newcomer to score better than him. His gaze then turned towards the bloodthirsty jackals.

He uses his lifeline beast ability the next moment. His well-built muscles become bulkier again. His body rose taller by a few metres.

The iron armour suits exactly fit his new size.

Growl!

The 2 Jackals leapt towards him. Seeing that Charles charges forward to attack. He was determined to fight alone.

Meanwhile,

Puchak!

The Head of the 3rd Jackal rolls over the ground.

The Green butterfly’s sound attack came as timely help for him. The corpse dropped to the ground, staining the ground with red blood.

Jeremy’s gaze then fell on the last jackal. The last jackal finally started to show fear. Then he sees Charles has 2 beasts left.

Seeing that he dashes forward to attack. The last Jackal is showing hesitation.

Sinag saw through this as well. She told her lifeline beast to use the sound attack again.

Hum!

The Green butterfly uses the sound attack targeting the Tier-4 Jackal. The sound attack reaches the target in the blink of an eye before stunning it for a few seconds.

Swoosh!

Jeremy uses the opportunity to get closer.

When he appeared in front of the beast. He didn’t hesitate to stab the Jackal’s head with the blade tip.

Puchak!

The sharp, pointy end of the blade penetrates the head. Jeremy thrusts forward. The blade went further before cutting the brain.

Blood emerges like a torrent of water. Jeremy withdrew the katana before making sure the beast was dead. He then sheathed his blade and turned towards.

Charles had dealt with the 3rd Jackal. Now he is fighting against the 4th Jackal.

Seeing that his eyes flash with appreciation. He still underestimated the beast tamers of the 10th zone.

What more? He could clearly see that Charles’s size is twice what it was before.

”Is this his lifeline beast ability?” Jeremy uttered.

Sinag and Ada looked at each other in disbelief. Their eyes flash with helplessness. From the beginning to the end, they only watched from behind.

Jeremy Night had killed the corrupted beasts without their help.

”Hum!”

The Green butterfly made a sound.

Hearing that Sinag smiled and said, ”Yes, you helped him.”

Growl!

The black bear made a sound. Hearing that Ada’s face turned red.

”Don’t worry big black. You will get to fight next time,”

Ada said before taking her lifeline beast into her mental zone.

Seeing that Sinag did the same as well. She took the green butterfly into her mental zone.

Both of them walk up to Jeremy Night.

Meanwhile, Charles manages to kill the last Jackal.

He cracked a wide grin before stopping using his lifeline beast ability. His jacked body recovers to normal the next second.

Charles then turns around to look at his team. He was stunned again. He saw Jeremy Night watching him. Not only he, but also the two women were standing next to him.

He understood what happened. He was a bit late in eliminating the beasts.

Then he said, ”Let’s go, we have to find a safe spot next night.”

Hearing that Jeremy shakes his head. He knows that guy still doesn’t want to acknowledge him. But he doesn’t care

Sinag showed a knowing smile on her face. Ada felt funny. She clearly sees that Jeremy Night’s strength is stronger than Senior Charles’s.

Then the trio started following Charles. As time passed, they got closer to the end of the outer part. If they continue at their current speed, they will soon reach the inner part of the wilderness.

Soon, they came across other Mercenary Teams who were returning from their journey. There are more than 6 groups that are returning.

Seeing that Jeremy’s team stopped. Charles is looking at them. He thinks it would be best to get some information from them.

”You guys wait for me here.” After saying that, Charles went to speak with them.

”What is he doing?” Ada asked.

”He is going to collect information. We still don’t know the condition of the Sand Bloom Team. We are walking into the inner part of the wilderness without any clue,” Sinag said with a serious expression on her face.

”We have already come across Tier-4 beasts. I don’t know whether Tier-5 Corrupted beasts would appear next,” Jeremy said next.

Hearing that, the faces of both of them changed drastically. It was one thing that they were worried about. It’s hard for them to fight against the Tier-4 Corrupted Beast.

So there is no question of fighting against the Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts.

”Why have you guys become silent?” Jeremy asked.

Ada replied, ”I’m thinking what were they doing in the inner part of the Wilderness? They were just Tier-3 Beast Tamers.”

Jeremy raised his eyebrows in doubt.

”Nobody goes to the inner part of the wilderness unless it’s necessary. Unfortunately, we don’t have full information. We can only ask them in person,” Sinag said.

While they were discussing, Charles was speaking with Beast Tamers from other organisations. Normally, they won’t care. But upon seeing the badge of the Shadow Moon Organisation.

They became more respectful. They knew the Head of the Shadow Moon Organisation was a Tier-8 Beast Tamer. They were the backbone of their City.

So they have decided to cooperate. But they didn’t know about the Sand Bloom Team. Charles asked about their return route.

Everyone followed the main route to return. But they didn’t come across any Sand Bloom Team members. Charles sighed inwardly.

He then thanked them before turning towards the other Mercenaries. To be honest, he doesn’t want to enter the Inner part of the Wilderness.

Because they can come across random Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts which could put the life of their entire team in danger.

But the 2nd Mercenary group didn’t know about the Sand Bloom Team. They had completed their mission near the surrounding area of the inner part of the wilderness.

They didn’t go deep to explore. Charles thanked them before turning towards the 3rd Team. Everyone showed respect upon seeing the badge of the Shadow Moon Organisation.

Their gazes also fell on the team. They spotted a newcomer with Tier-2 Strength. The lifeline beasts in their mental zone can confirm the strength of the opposite person.

So they were quite shocked. But some people knew the information.

They suspect the Tier-2 Beast Tamer could be the new member of the Shadow Moon Organisation.

They knew that his name was Jeremy Night who got famous recently. But they didn’t dare to disturb them.
