STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

9th Zone, B-City:

​Jeremy Night killed a few Tier-4 Purple Snakes in succession. Because of this, the burden on the front team was reduced somewhat, though the threat was not over.

​But Jeremy Night remained alert. He could see the Tier-5 Purple Snakes yet to emerge from the forest. The situation was different on the other sides of the city walls.

​With his sharp eyesight, he had spotted many Tier-5 Purple Snakes attacking the other sections of the wall. The Tier-5 higher-ups were dealing with them.

​The situation here was totally chaotic. Ben, the middle-aged man, started attacking the Purple Snakes with his lifeline beast bull.

​Melody and Kara continued to coordinate together. Their cat-type Lifeline Beasts were already drenched in blood.

​Tom’s Fiery Flame Lizard was roasting the lower-tier Purple Snakes, while Dan was using his Armadillo Lifeline Beast to crush them.

​Everything was going fine. As time went by, Jeremy used his handgun to eliminate the Tier-4 beasts.

​At this time, his teammates were convinced that this Tier-2 young man was a genius. No wonder he had volunteered to come here.

​They couldn’t fight across ranks. But Jeremy Night was not only fighting across ranks, he was killing across Tiers easily.

​Just as Jeremy Night thought, the Tier-5 Snakes were not making moves yet. Suddenly, a large Purple Snake sprinted out from the forest.

​The massive snake body, over 20ft in size, appeared before everyone. Ben and the other teammates were shocked.

​Swoosh!

​The Tier-5 Purple Snake was coming right towards them. The team members were only Tier-4 Beast Tamers; they couldn’t face a Tier-5 beast.

​”What do we do?”

​”The beast can spit poison!” Tom shouted.

​He ordered his Fiery Lizard to retreat, and the lizard appeared behind Tom.

​Melody and Kara exchanged looks. They too called back their Lifeline Beasts because of the Tier-5 Purple Snake.

​The other Tier-4 and Tier-3 Purple Snakes moved away from the Tier-5 beast. Tom, Dan, Melody, and Kara looked scared.

​Swoosh!

​Jeremy Night’s eyes flickered. He looked at the team members. They were all Tier-4 Beast Tamers.

​A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He had seen a higher-tier Purple Snake shooting out poison earlier. It had destroyed one part of the city wall.

​He feared that this Tier-5 Purple Snake could spit out poison now. Just as he was about to pull out his handgun to shoot.

​Swoosh!

​”Beast, you dare!”

​A black arrow cut through the air, reaching the Purple Snake in a single shot. Under the shocking gaze of everyone, the black arrow pierced through the head of the Tier-5 Purple Snake and came out the back.

​Puchak!

​Blood splattered on the ground. The massive lifeless body then fell down.

​Seeing that, everyone sighed in relief. They were scared that they were going to die. Fortunately, one of the commanders on the city wall had made a move.

​He was a middle-aged man with a bow and arrow talent. Whenever he used his talent, he rarely missed the target.

​Every hit was a bullseye.

​Jeremy Night relaxed as well. He had been worried that the front line was going to be breached.

​Meanwhile

​Governor Black’s big rhino had already crushed several Tier-6 Purple Snakes. It was marching forward. At the same time, Governor Black was staying alert.

​His main target was the Tier-7 Purple Snakes.

​Swoosh!

​Suddenly, he noticed three Tier-6 Purple Snakes hiding ahead of them. They were waiting to ambush them.

​”Be careful,” he said to the rhino.

​Boom!

​The big rhino made a sound before stomping the ground. It was one of its abilities. The ground cracked under the stomping.

​In a flash, the crack extended forward, stretching up to the hideout of the Tier-6 snakes.

​They couldn’t afford to hide anymore. The Tier-6 Purple Snakes leaped forward to attack.

​Swoosh!

​One of them spat venom. The venom shot from its fangs, targeting the rhino.

​Seeing that, Governor Black made a move. He was expecting such an attack. He immediately appeared before the big rhino and brought his black shield forward.

​Boom!

​At that moment, he started using his talent. A mysterious power flowed from his body and covered the huge shield.

​Boom!

​The purple venom stream struck the huge shield in a flash.

​Zzzz!

​The purple poison tried to corrode the shield, but the shield was protected by a powerful layer.

​Boom!

​Black then disappeared from the spot. He flew over to the Tier-6 Purple Snake and smashed its big head with the shield.

Pfff!

​He was a Tier-8 Beast Tamer. The Tier-6 Purple Snake was not a match. The head was easily smashed in a single move.

​Black then moved towards the other beasts. In the blink of an eye, he killed the other two remaining beasts.

His real goal was to attack the Tier-7 Purple Snake which had shot out the poison arrow earlier.

​It had already taken several lives. The Tier-7 beasts were cunning; they were purposely luring people to come inside the forest.

​Governor Chloe Morgan’s Side

​Her Tier-8 Snow Tail Sparrow had successfully frozen many Tier-4 and Tier-5 beasts. But she knew she had to attack and kill the Tier-7 beasts behind them.

​Otherwise, the fight would continue to occur.

​Swoosh!

​She was standing on the back of the sparrow. The giant sparrow was flying over the forest.

​Swoosh!

​All of a sudden, a purple poison arrow was shot at the sparrow. It was done by one of the hiding Tier-7 Purple Snakes.

​The purple poison arrow cut through the air, traveling at high speed.

​Governor Chloe saw the attack. Her expression changed drastically. She ordered her sparrow to respond.

​Kee-Kee!

​Her sparrow made a sound before releasing ice spikes at the poison arrow.

​Boom!

​Both of them came in contact with each other. The ice power immediately froze the poison. Because of the impact force, an explosion occurred a second later.

​The purple ice broke into pieces and fell to the ground. The remaining ice spikes continued shooting towards the target.

​Boom!

​The Tier-7 Purple Snake, which was hiding, was struck by the ice spikes. The Tier-8 ice spikes were strong, yet they only broke the scales of the Tier-7 beast.

​The Purple Snake hissed out loud before continuing to hide.
