STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 730: Part 2: Direct Confrontation

The Field

Jeremy saw the three men. He was planning to eliminate the three of them before taking on Tyson Hill.

He had thought about avoiding the killing earlier, but he had no choice right now. These people had come here to silence him.

There was a Blood Rat King resting in the underground passage. If it woke up, someone could use something to capture it, and he didn’t want that to happen.

Swoosh!

While they were observing him, he made a sudden move.

"Explosive Steps!"

A powerful force erupted from his feet.

In a flash, he bolted from his position toward the three men. Instead of drawing his blade, he covered his forefinger with a starlight thread.

Swoosh!

The three men were startled. They didn’t think a mere Tier-3 Beast Tamer would be able to do anything, but they were wrong.

Jeremy Night appeared in front of the third person, the one standing at the back. Jeremy moved his forefinger.

Pfff!

A second later, the starlight thread extended and slit the throat of the Tier-5 Beast Tamer.

The Tier-5 Beast Tamer was stunned. It happened so fast. Blood spurted from the wound. He touched his neck in disbelief.

At the same time, the other two men and Tyson Hill were taken aback.

Swoosh!

Seizing the opportunity, Jeremy Night drew his katana and used the starlight thread to cover the blade’s edge. The starlight thread that had been wrapped around his forefinger disappeared.

Swoosh!

The three of them moved backward to create distance. Tyson Hill summoned his lifeline beast. A black light shot out from his body and landed in front of him.

Boom!

It was a Tier-5 Black Rat King. The beast was over four meters in size, and its entire back was covered in black spikes.

The two other men brought out their own lifeline beasts: Tier-5 four-legged vicious dog beasts.

Upon seeing the ferocious creatures, Jeremy frowned.

He thought there was hardly any difference between these lifeline beasts and corrupted beasts. He smelled something fishy about the Beast Taming Family behind them.

Roar!

The two vicious dogs and the ferocious Rat King charged toward him. The Beast Tamers moved behind them to issue commands.

Jeremy Night was the only Striker-type Beast Tamer who dared to confront corrupted beasts and lifeline beasts alike at close quarters while others stayed back to command.

Swoosh!

Jeremy Night held his katana tightly. He was not afraid; he knew his strength.

He was simply worried that the others might be carrying a trump card. As an heir to a Beast Taming Family, it was normal for such a person to carry one.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the three beasts surrounded him.

"Ha... Ha... Ha... You are going to die miserably," Tyson said with a laugh.

The other two men revealed evil grins. It was a pity that one of their members had died so pointlessly; if he had summoned his lifeline beast sooner, he wouldn’t have been killed.

On the other hand, the staff member, Nick, was watching the battle as well. His racing heart finally began to settle.

After seeing the sudden death of one of the men, he was terrified. He hadn’t expected a Tier-3 Beast Tamer to have the tricks necessary to kill a Tier-5 Beast Tamer.

Now he feels better. If he hadn’t agreed to obey Jeremy earlier, he would have been dead as well.

A cold shiver went down his spine at the thought. He just hoped the Young Master would eliminate the man before finding the Rat King.

If the Rat King escaped, the fortress would face a major disaster. If the fortress were attacked, the Association would definitely investigate, and their actions would be exposed.

The mere thought of that gave him the chills.

So, Nick continued to watch the battle with high expectations.

Swoosh!

Jeremy shifted his body and avoided the direct attacks from the two vicious Tier-5 dogs. It was not easy; the two dogs were incredibly fast.

What’s more, the Tier-5 Rat King hadn’t made a move yet. Jeremy was paying extra attention to it because he knew there was another Rat King resting down below.

Suddenly, anticipation rose in his heart. He thought the Black Rat King might have sensed something already.

Swoosh!

While Jeremy was dodging the dogs’ attacks, the Rat King made a sudden move. It darted toward the underground hole.

Tyson Hill was taken aback. Then, he communicated with the Rat King and realized their target was nearby.

"Ha... Ha... Ha... I didn’t expect to get this windfall so quickly!" Tyson laughed.

He turned toward the two men and said, "You guys finish him off quickly. There is a Rat King down below, so I need your support."

Tyson didn’t spare another glance for the young Beast Tamer. He thought the outcome was a foregone conclusion. The Tier-3 Beast Tamer might be slippery, but he wouldn’t escape death.

He chased after his lifeline beast. This scene was witnessed by everyone. The two remaining men gave Jeremy serious glares. The two vicious dog beasts grew enraged and charged, attacking from both sides.

Jeremy held the handle of his blade. The sharp edge shone with a bright light. He was ready to finish them.

Swoosh!

When the two vicious dogs got closer, he swung his blade using the "Blade One" move. The blade struck from a different angle.

Cut!

His intermediate blade skill kicked in. At that moment, the blade seemed to carry a mysterious power along with the starlight thread.

The blade swept across diagonally, hacking into the neck of the first dog beast.

Puchak!

A torrent of blood gushed forth, dyeing the field.

Slash!

Jeremy then made a reverse slash. With the same momentum, the blade cut through the neck of the second dog beast.

The "Blade One" move and the starlight power destroyed the beasts’ defenses. In a flash, the two beasts dropped dead on the ground. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Aaahhhh!

The two Tier-5 Beast Tamers let out agonizing screams. Because of the death of their lifeline beasts, their mental zones were severely damaged.

They suffered a strong backlash, falling to the ground as blood leaked from their orifices. They were completely crippled.
