Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires-Chapter 109: Familiar Faces, Hidden Truths

"So yeah, in short, I won the fifth round and I have advanced to the sixth," Zaroth sighed as he glanced around the table. He was having lunch with his friends.

"Isn’t it quite weird how it’s always you the first to get a fight in the rounds before us?" Zack pointed out.

"Maybe they have some system for deciding, like based on names? That could explain it," Lily theorized.

"Honestly, I’m getting sick of these fights. I want them to be over soon," Roran sighed as he leaned back in his chair.

"What? It isn’t exciting at all?" Zaroth raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, pretty much, at least until now they have been relatively weak," Roran complained.

"Well..." Zaroth grinned, "In a few hours comes the Live Combat Practice, right? Well... do you remember when I told you that Silverfang evolves? Well, recently his evolution was completed."

"That’s good, I want to try and fight him," Lily spoke.

Roran grimaced.

"What? There’s nothing wrong with getting stronger!" Lily proclaimed.

"Getting stronger..." Zack sighed as he looked at the ceiling.

"Hm? Is something the matter?" Zaroth didn’t miss that his friend didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

"Yeah... I just have a feeling that somebody is constantly watching me," Zack spoke.

’That came out of nowhere,’ Zaroth thought, but seeing the expression on Zack, it was clear that the man was serious.

"You can talk to us, you know?" Lily spoke as she shifted her gaze to him.

He scratched the back of his head, "There’s nothing to talk about. Maybe I’m just feeling paranoid."

Zaroth scratched his chin, "If you’re paranoid, I know a way for you to calm down."

Zack raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Zaroth grinned, "After today’s lecture, we’re going to the library. There’s nothing more calming than reading a good book!"

The time for the Live Combat Practice had come. The four of them got into position.

Zaroth summoned Silverfang by his side.

Lily’s eyes immediately widened.

Zaroth didn’t miss that change, so he asked, "What is it?"

"It just... he doesn’t look so... dead anymore?" she answered.

It was true. After the evolution, most of the rot on his body was gone, and he appeared almost alive. That was certainly one of the changes the wolf had gone through.

"Okay, boy, you know what to do," he spoke, and in the next second, Silverfang lunged at Lily.

Zaroth opened his mouth in awe. This was the first time using Silverfang after his evolution, so he was surprised to see how fast the beast was able to run.

Lily didn’t seem fazed as she made an ice pillar rise beneath her feet, lifting her higher in the room while simultaneously unleashing a few bolts of lightning at Silverfang

The beast managed to dodge them as he jumped up, trying to reach Lily, but before he could, she made the pillar even taller, bringing her even higher, so Silverfang was unable to reach her.

Zaroth raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t because he was impressed by Silverfang, but because he was impressed by Lily.

From his friend group, she was the biggest mystery. He knew that Zack was most likely a knight class or something similar, and his god had something to do with blood. Roran, on the other hand, probably had the power to make things levitate, while his god’s blessing could be related to teleportation, because there was no other way to explain the swords Roran was able to make appear out of thin air.

But what about Lily?

She seemed to be able to use multiple elements proficiently. At first, he thought that she was some kind of sorcerer or mage, but from what he knew, a mage was limited to using one specific type of attack, whether it was fire, ice, earth, lightning, dark, or others.

But she seemed to be able to use them all without any trouble...

Zaroth had been going to the academy for some time now, and he had yet to learn of a class that was able to use so many attacks so easily.

Of course, she could have just been trained to be proficient in all of these attacks, but for some reason, Zaroth doubted that.

’Not to mention that this is just class, I have no idea what her blessing actually is...’

Usually, he wouldn’t be thinking about such things, but as he watched Lily without anything else for him to focus on, he got a feeling—something very deep in his gut told him that she looked familiar.

Almost too familiar.

And the strangest thing was that every time he got that feeling, he seemed to forget about it soon after.

’Luna, am I missing something?’

He asked her, but before she could answer, a loud roar made him shift his attention back to Silverfang. The beast was using the roar skill that he had used on Zaroth before.

But it seemed that the beast had miscalculated, as using it meant that he would be bound to one place, and Lily, taking advantage of the opportunity, made several large ice pillars around the wolf and sent them toward him.

The beast screeched as he felt his body being pierced multiple times. Even though he was undead and would be fine, he was bound and unable to move.

Silverfang had lost again to Lily.

"He really has become stronger, maybe even a Rare beast," Lily exclaimed with a smile.

Aside from her hair being messy, she was unscathed.

"She is really strong..." Zaroth muttered under his breath. A second later, he raised an eyebrow.

’Luna, did I ask you something a second ago?’

’No, I don’t recall,’ she answered immediately.

"Well, whatever. If I forget it, it’s probably not important anyway," he spoke as he took hold of two daggers. He had been thinking about it for some time, but he wanted to try and learn other weapons.

He turned his gaze to Roran, who could control multiple weapons simultaneously—making him the perfect sparring partner to learn the art of wielding several at once.

Gripping the daggers, he dashed toward the man.

It was time for some training.
