STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Jeremy Night saw only a few of them chasing him from behind. He wanted to remove the tail as soon as possible. He immediately sped away using his strength.

The 1st years who were chasing him were all Tier-1 Beast Tamers, but their ranks were the same. They were Rank 1, whereas Jeremy Night was a Tier 1 Rank 2 Beast Tamer.

So they were lagging behind. But their lifeline Beasts were doing better than them. They were getting closer to Jeremy Night.

Jeremy noticed the lifeline beasts as well. His mouth twitched. He felt it was a cheat. He could remove the tail of Beast Tamers, but the lifeline beast was different. Among them, there was one lifeline beast that was getting closer to him.

”F@ck, just do it anyway,” Jeremy shouted before stopping. He decided to attack them since they had lured him here with evil intentions. It was natural for him to pay them back.

Growl!

A black feline beast growled before leaping at him. The feline beast was 10 ft in size. It was a big one. It appeared that its strength was at the peak of Tier-1.

Swoosh!

Jeremy retreated backward to widen the gap. At the same time, he used starlight energy to cover the katana blade. In the blink of an eye, the blade shone with white light.

The feline beast startled. It landed in front of Jeremy and did not attack right away because it sensed a crisis. At the same time, the 1st-year Beast Tamer who had bonded with this lifeline beast also felt the sense of crisis.

He gave an immediate command to the feline beast not to attack. By this time, the other Beast Tamers caught up with their lifeline beasts as well.

The other lifeline beasts were different four-legged beasts. Their abilities were related to their Beast Tamers’ talents.

”Jeremy Night, stop running!”

”The 2nd-year Beast Tamers are on their way.”

The 1st-year Beast Tamers shouted one after another.

”Jeremy, it’s better for you to cooperate with us,” Robin said in a cold tone. A white and blue big cat stood next to him.

Rudi was among them as well. His lifeline beast was an Armored Rhino. He was not talkative; he was just waiting for this conflict to be over.

Jeremy Night’s eyes turned cold. He looked at their faces. Not long ago, these people had begged him to help them with their mission.

Now their plot had completely exploded. They were showing their fangs right now. Especially Robin and Rudi; he would not forgive them easily.

Meanwhile,

At the meeting point, the 2nd years were already waiting. Then they saw a few people approaching them from a distance. When they got closer, they saw it was their juniors, but Jeremy Night was not among them.

”Where is he?” one of them asked when the 1st year arrived.

The 1st years quickly started explaining everything.

A few minutes later,

The 2nd years were disappointed and angry. If Jeremy Night asked for help from the Instructor, it would be all over. Not only that, they were in disguise right now.

Apart from the 1st years, nobody knew about them. It was the 1st year’s job to lead him here without making the other party suspicious.

Now they learned that it was Robin who disclosed the news after seeing Jeremy Night try to flee. The 2nd years cursed Robin’s stupidity.

”Did he misunderstand?”

”We are not going to kill Jeremy Night,” another 2nd year student asked.

”It can’t be helped. The junior has made a mistake. Jeremy Night won’t forget about this betrayal. Let’s go and catch him first.”

”I heard no one has seen his lifeline beast. I guess it’s weak. We can easily subdue him. Then we will ask the family what to do,” the 2nd year Beast Tamer made the decision.

Swoosh!

The next second, everyone left the meeting point and rushed toward Robin and the others. The 1st years were scared. They thought their job was over after leading Jeremy Night to them.

But not only had their plan failed halfway, but they were also dragged into the mess.

On the other hand, Jeremy Night was tense. He was learning a tough lesson right now. More than the Corrupted Beasts, the human heart was dangerous.

He never expected his first life-and-death struggle would be against fellow Beast Tamers and not the dangerous Corrupted Beasts.

Swoosh!

Jeremy then targeted the slowest of the four-legged beasts among them. He drew the katana and swung at it.

The Beast Tamer immediately gave the command to block. The four-legged beast’s claws came into contact with the starlight blade.

Boom!

To everyone’s surprise, the blade cut through those sharp claws. The lifeline beast let out a cry in pain. The Beast Tamer felt the pain as well.

Jeremy withdrew the blade before fleeing through the gap. Robin, Rudi, and the others who were watching with expectant eyes were dumbfounded.

”He is strong. We can’t stop him by ourselves,” Rudi uttered in a panic.

Hearing that, the other Beast Tamers were scared as well.

”We can’t let him escape. Otherwise, it will be all over for us,” Robin shouted.

But the Beast Tamers refused to move from the spot. Especially the one who got hurt already called back his lifeline beast.

His first priority was to heal the lifeline beast. His expression looked pale as if he were the one who got injured.

Seeing him in that state, others were quite scared.

Right at this moment, they heard the sound of people coming behind them. They were none other than their 2nd-year seniors and the rest of the first years.

Robin found everyone was looking at him angrily, especially the second years, whose eyes were fuming with anger.

The 2nd year Beast Tamers, all six of them, arrived at the spot.

”Where is Jeremy Night?” a 2nd year asked.

”He escaped after attacking one of us,” Rudi replied.

The expression of the 2nd year changed. This was not something they wanted to hear.
