A white liquid flowed from his palm, enveloping the single-edged katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the blade prepared, he moved to confront the Tier-5 Worm Beast. At the same time, the three Head Guards, accompanied by their Lifeline Beasts, engaged the Tier-4 Worm Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce clash erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-5 Worm Beast targeted Jeremy Night, sensing the human beast tamer was weaker. It decided to eliminate him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the worm's massive body lunged to strike, Jeremy used a movement technique to dodge the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last moment, he evaded the blow, positioning himself close to the beast. He swung his katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight-infused blade sliced through the worm's skin. To his surprise, the katana left scratches on the beast's tough hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks of starlight flared, drawing blood. Jeremy retreated to widen the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Head Guards and their Lifeline Beasts kept the Tier-4 Worm Beasts at bay, preventing them from advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Head Guards occasionally glanced at Jeremy, noting his ability to maintain distance from the Tier-5 Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood his strategy: Jeremy wasn't engaging the beast head-on. They assumed he was stalling for reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to them, Jeremy was practicing his techniques against the worm. After his recent breakthrough, his starlight energy had grown stronger, its attacks now drawing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the Tier-5 Worm grew frustrated. It saw its group being contained by the human beast tamers and their Lifeline Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determined to strike directly, the Tier-5 Worm spat corrosive saliva in a straight line toward Jeremy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Jeremy's enhanced vision, the attack seemed to slow, giving him the chance to evade. He darted away from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corrosive liquid hit the ground, eroding it instantly. The green grass turned to ash in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petra, Levy, and the others reached the outer area. They immediately took out their digital devices and called their fathers to report the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Night Family Guards contacted their master, Ron Night. When the three City Governors heard the news, they were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron Night immediately left the city administration building and headed toward the wilderness. He knew a Tier-5 Worm Beast was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Tier-5 Beast Tamers could handle such a threat. Petra's father also left the city administration building to assist Ron Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levy's father stayed behind, as someone needed to remain at the office. They would all mobilize if the situation worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew a single Tier-5 Worm Beast typically appeared with a small group, which two City Governors could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron Night was worried about his son. He hadn't expected Jeremy to stay behind and confront the beast while sending others to safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt both pride and concern for his son's actions. Jeremy had just survived a Beast Invasion, yet now faced another perilous situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron Night hurried to rescue his son and the others, with Petra's father following close behind. A few people noticed the two City Governors leaving the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petra, Levy, and the others waited anxiously. At that moment, another group arrived to help—the team that had been waiting near the cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They now stood together, all aware of the Tier-5 Worm Beast and the few remaining Tier-4 Worm Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy charged toward the Tier-5 Worm Beast again, using it to test his enhanced starlight energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm's massive body made it slow, allowing Jeremy to leverage his eye ability to dodge attacks and retreat when danger loomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Head Guards noticed this strategy. They had already killed one of the four Tier-4 Worm Beasts, leaving three, all injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy's katana blade struck the Tier-5 Worm Beast's skin again, but its tough hide resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade risked breaking if he continued the test. Finally, a small trickle of blood appeared on the beast's skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy retreated to a safe distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the Tier-5 Worm Beast grew increasingly frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't kill the elusive human beast tamer, who slipped away every time. Then it turned and saw that one of its group had been killed, leaving only three Tier-4 Worms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, the Tier-5 Worm Beast shifted its focus, charging toward the Head Guards and their Lifeline Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy's expression changed. \"Run!\" he shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Head Guards immediately recalled their Lifeline Beasts and began running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, only Jeremy Night remained. He faced the Tier-5 Worm Beast and the three Tier-4 Worm Beasts alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he prepared to confront the corrupted creatures, a loud noise came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy turned and saw his father, Ron Night. \"Jeremy, get back. I'll deal with the beast,\" Ron said, launching an attack on the Tier-5 Corrupted Worm Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Petra's father arrived and joined Ron Night to confront the Tier-5 Worm Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jeremy wasn't idle. The three Tier-4 Worm Beasts charged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coated his blade with starlight liquid again. As the beasts closed in, he took the offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade danced through the air, slicing into the flesh of a Tier-4 Worm Beast. Unlike the Tier-5 Beast, the katana met no resistance, cutting easily through the beast's skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy swiftly attacked the next two worm beasts in the same manner. Multiple slashes marred their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a torrent of blood poured from the two corrupted worm beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two City Governors were still fighting the Tier-5 Worm Beast, Jeremy Night had single-handedly brought the three Tier-4 Worm Beasts to the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After delivering numerous slashes to the beasts' bodies, Jeremy retreated. He believed the three worm beasts would slowly bleed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was witnessed by both Ron Night and Petra's father. Both were in shock, with Petra's father particularly terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their focus remained on defeating the Tier-5 Worm Beast in front of them. The Tier-5 Worm was cunning. After sustaining multiple injuries, it burrowed back underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took the two City Governors ten minutes to drive the beast away. Meanwhile, the three Tier-4 Worm Beasts had bled to death, their corpses lying in pools of their own blood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.484Z",1,"novelbin.me","1fc64a7402390026270f2712a899793c83174745ad2a9c650cd03c42a0c903ba","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-381","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-430",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
