The Governors were Tier-8 Beast Tamers, yet it was hard for them to defeat the Tier-7 Purple Snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-7s had potent venom; it could kill Tier-8 Beast Tamers. The Three Governors had experience fighting purple snakes here, so they knew how to protect themselves from the poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this was going on, casualties started occurring on the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Governors had given orders to dispatch every single Beast Tamer in the city. So, the Beast Tamers from Central University 9 and the Beast Taming Association were coming to the front lines to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Family Heads of the Beast Taming Families had asked their Family Beast Tamers to join the battle. It was a matter of the city’s survival. They couldn’t afford to delay any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the City Guards were replacing the injured people with new units, so the team members were changing from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night’s side:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a small pause because no other purple snakes emerged from the forest. It gave them time to check the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy’s expression darkened. He had run out of bullets. He couldn’t assist the teams using the handgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it,\" he uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because the other teams had injured people. They were replaced by other units, and even those units had faced casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theirs was the only team without injured people. It was because of the support given by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guard, Ben, noticed the problem. He and the others had superficial injuries, but nothing serious. It was already amazing that they had been fighting for over 10 hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them had suffered serious injuries, but they were all exhausted. Their lifeline beasts were tired out. They needed rest to recover to their peak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who had used the black bow and arrow earlier noticed their situation. He appeared before everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Bolton,\" Ben uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the others greeted him. Tom and Dan had solemn looks on their faces. Kara and Melody were quiet as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you continue any longer, you guys could face injuries. It’s better for you to take a rest. I’ll ask for additional units,\" Bolton said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze fell on Jeremy Night. His eyes flashed with a complex glint. To be honest, he was shocked. He had seen the kid using a handgun to kill all those Tier-4 beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spotted the weird white energy covering the bullets. He thought it could be an S-Rank Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than that, he didn’t think of any other possibility. He also noticed that the kid hadn’t used his lifeline beast from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys should leave now,\" Bolton said. He didn’t want to bring up that topic in front of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ben, Tom, Dan, Melody, and Kara left the place. Even Jeremy wanted to leave because his starlight power was nearing its end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His unknown beast egg needed time to recover. Compared to the others, his lifeline beast was still an egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was about to follow them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, you stop,\" Bolton said. He then walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was taken aback. He turned around and saw the middle-aged man coming toward him. He furrowed his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\" Bolton asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, my name is Jeremy Night,\" Jeremy replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolton then asked, \"What’s with your lifeline beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you had brought out your lifeline beast earlier, then you could have killed more beasts,\" Bolton added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Jeremy said, \"Elder, I can’t take out my lifeline beast. It’s a special situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolton was stunned. Then he thought that the kid’s lifeline beast might be injured. He was about to inquire further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard a noise coming from the forest. He moved away from the place and appeared on the city wall. Bolton then saw a new wave of purple snakes coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy could have left earlier, but now he could see purple snakes coming towards them. He unsheathed his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the katana blade in his right hand. There wasn’t much starlight liquid left in the mental zone, so he had to fight carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wanted to go back to the camp right now, it was too late. The purple snakes had emerged. They were now rushing towards their front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy got ready to face the purple snakes. Two purple snakes were coming towards him. The two purple snakes were Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately covered the blade with his remaining starlight power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, both snakes reached him. They opened their fangs to bite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolton was hitting the Tier-5 and Tier-6 snakes. His main priority was to deal with the Tier-5 beasts, but he didn’t forget to keep an eye on Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Jeremy Night was going to face two Tier-4 beasts, his expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the kid used a shooting ability to fight with Tier-4 beasts. Now it’s difficult at close range, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to use his bow and arrow to help that kid, he saw something next that made him dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puchak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy used his eyesight to evade the attack at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his katana blade swept across horizontally; the blade sliced through the snake’s body effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long red line appeared on the snake’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, blood gushed forth from the wound. The huge snake then fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy moved towards the other snake and made similar slashes to wound it. Because of the big size of the snake, it needed multiple slashes to make it immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy could have stayed there to end their lives, but he charged towards other Tier-4 snakes to help out other teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guard members saw what he was doing. Then they went to the wounded purple snakes to end their lives before they could spit venom to harm others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolton recovered from his astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid could use blade moves,\" his mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since he had seen such a talented junior.\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-05T18:52:55.051Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1c8b047a1fef3a0d61f5d3bf7c3bd74dbf9360fce43b75dbc9480c71317b88f","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-567","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-565",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
