STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

City A(10th Zone):

Inside the cave structure, I opened my eyes. Then I looked around the water. The colourful spring water is yet to decrease.

Seeing that my eyes flash with a glint. I know the unknown egg inside the mental zone has been absorbing the rich natural energy from the pond.

Yet the pond water didn't decrease. Then I began to check the mental zone. The unknown beast egg still continues to suck the rich natural energy from the pond.

Seeing that I have decided to sit here. I don't want to disturb the activity of the unknown lifeline beast egg.

I closed my eyes and began to rest. My veins were hurting. Once the feeling was gone. Then I would resume the practice.

Outside,

The Guards were continuing the patrol. The Head Guard was outside as well. From time to time, he takes a look at the cave structure.

He doesn't know how the Beast Tamer Jeremy Night is doing right now.

The other Guards also saw that a young beast tamer was going inside the cave structure earlier. They didn't know the news. They were wondering who the beast tamer might be.

They knew that a young beast tamer didn't belong to the Reed Family. They couldn't help but ask the Head Guard.

The Head Guard simply told them that the young beast tamer is a guest of the Reed Family.

...

The following day,

Dante Reed recalled that young beast tamer from the Shadow Moon Organisation. He called her daughter Audrey to the meeting hall.

There are a few other family members present. They all knew about the reward. A young Beast Tamer from the Shadow Moon Organisation is using their field area.

But none of them had any hatred. If it were earlier, they might oppose their Family Head's order. After the Beast Invasion, everyone has understood one thing.

They need strong beast tamers to survive the beast invasion. With the help of two lords, they have ended the beast invasion.

If they have their own beast tamers, then the beast invasion could have ended earlier. A unity emerges in their heart.

Audrey Reed comes to the meeting hall.

"Audrey, what about Jeremy Night?"

"Is he okay?"

"Does he need anything?"

Dante Reed used her daughter.

Audrey Reed shakes her head and says, "He is going to appear tomorrow. He hadn't requested anything so far."

Hearing that Dante Reed nodded his head. He thinks that the young man would remember their help in future. If they need anything, he would help without expecting anything.

"Good, continue to maintain contact with him. The beast invasion was a wake-up call for everyone. We can't afford to be careless, having a core area near the city," Dante Reed said to her.

Hearing that the family members agreed as well. Their next big job is to develop the strong beast tamers.

Audrey Reed then left. She then goes to the field area to check the cave structure. She doesn't plan to go inside. But she wanted to talk to the Head Guard.

Soon, she reaches the spot. The Head Guard and other patrol guards see her. Audrey met the Head Guard and asked him about Jeremy Night.

"Did he ask for any help?" She asked.

"Young miss, he is doing fine. He hadn't requested any help so far," The Head Guard replied..

The other guards supported the argument as well.

She then glances towards the cave structure before leaving. She has her own work as well. She is helping out her father.

During the beast invasion, a lot of her friends got hurt as well. She is planning to meet them as well.

Meanwhile,

Inside the cave structure, the colourful spring pond water began to decrease. The unknown egg-lifeline beast started to show its appetite.

Jeremy Night had resumed his practice after some rest. His body is evolving as well. But he believes the unknown beast is going to provide feedback soon.

He is waiting for that. He had seen how the unknown egg had been absorbing the natural energy from the pond since nighttime.

But it hadn't shown any sign of stopping. Finally, when the time had passed noon. The unknown beast egg has stopped absorbing the natural energy.

Seeing that Jeremy Night's heart beats with excitement. He stopped his practice.

He knows that the unknown beast egg would provide him with feedback at any time.

It didn't take long for the unknown beast egg to vibrate again. He could feel the feedback energy entering his body from the mental zone.

The cells in his body greedily absorbed the feedback energy. At the same time, the evolution of the physique continues.

From Tier-2, 2nd Rank - Mid Stage his strength started to increase.

Time passed,

Click!

At one point, the breakthrough occurs. The strength has reached the Tier-2, 2nd Rank - Peak Stage. But the feedback energy didn't show any sign of stopping.

Seeing that he continues to focus. The cells in the body continue to absorb the feedback energy.

As time passes, the body continues absorbing feedback energy. I started thinking that I could reach the 3rd rank now.

A few minutes later, the unknown beast egg stopped giving feedback energy. My eyes flash with disappointment.

But I'm sure that a little more energy could push me to the 3rd rank. Yet the feedback energy has fallen short.

Then I calmed down my heart and began to observe the mental zone. The massive gate in front of the mental zone has changed as well.

An additional light has appeared in the Tier-1 Concentric circle. It represents the 2nd Rank Peak Stage.

Then I started paying attention to the starlight energy in the mental zone. The liquid type starlight energy has become stronger now because of the breakthrough.

I sighed in relief before turning towards the colourful spring water. It has died. I think I will empty it by today.

Then I decided to take a break to ease my nerves. I couldn't help but wonder what's below the earth's surface.

The natural energy source comes from the surface. There must be a huge natural source hidden beneath the surface.
