Jeremy was recovering in the meantime. He, like the others, was monitoring the wilderness ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t see any sign of a beast tide. He didn’t know whether the Beast Tide had been stopped or not. He turned around and looked toward the city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Governor Leon standing on top of the city wall, observing the situation. Jeremy thought the Governor was the only one who knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until then, they had to stay silent. Jeremy then withdrew his gaze and turned back toward the battlefield ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Catherine Rosewood and the Beast Tamers belonging to her family were wondering about the battle as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they didn’t have any casualties. But the other family beast tamers were not as lucky; they had casualties. The injured had already been sent back to the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governors Martin and Orion were watching the battle. The Tier-8 Beast Tamers had successfully killed the Tier-8 Corrupted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Governors were watching the unexplored region ahead. There were no signs of more corrupted beasts appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both thought the beast tide had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert Hill and the other Family Heads were discussing the situation. They too held the opinion that the Beast Tide was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had faced more than one beast wave, but they had eliminated all types of beasts. There seemed to be no further danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we can go back,\" Robert Hill said to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was talking, only Head Harold remained silent. He was looking at the sky. He saw a change in the weather ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky seemed to be getting darker. What was more, he found that dark clouds were approaching them slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Head Harold felt something amiss while looking at those clouds. He turned toward the others, but they seemed nonchalant. They weren’t aware of the approaching danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then shifted his gaze toward the Governors. Both Governors were talking to each other and seemed visibly relaxed. Seeing that, Head Harold decided to alert them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of the two Governors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governors Martin and Orion stopped talking when they noticed Head Harold’s sudden appearance. They saw that his face looked tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\" Martin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head Harold, what happened?\" Orion added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Head Harold took a deep breath before saying, \"Governors, look at the approaching dark clouds ahead. They look ominous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, everyone heard the sound of thunder. The Beast Tamers stopped talking and looked toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governors Martin and Orion heard Harold’s words and looked at him before turning toward the horizon. They could tell that dark clouds were indeed coming toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the clouds were bringing rain and windstorms. It didn’t seem to be a natural phenomenon at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the faces of the Governors changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, get ready!\" Martin shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the others reacted. They saw the dark clouds as well. Everyone then brought out their lifeline beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head Harold, thank you for reminding us,\" Martin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mention it,\" Harold replied. After saying that, he joined the others for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, the dark clouds were right above their heads. Rain started pouring down the next second. It was not normal rain, but a rainstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family heads and their lifeline beasts were drenched. The two Governors were no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were looking at the dark sky with solemn expressions. Both of them felt a sense of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderclap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderclap echoed. In that flash of light, everyone saw a massive beast over 50 feet in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone witnessed the existence of the beast in that lightning flash. Its length seemed to be even greater than its height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin and Orion immediately felt goosebumps all over their bodies. Their pupils shrank, and their faces showed fear for the first time in this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaahhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weak-minded old man among the family heads let out a blood-curdling scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the others recognized the beast. It was not an ordinary beast, but a Tier-9 beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others were petrified with fear, the old man’s past trauma caused his mental defenses to collapse, and he shouted out loud in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert Hill and the others were scared to death as well. They found it unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this is the mastermind behind the beast tide,\" Head Harold thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not the time for them to be scared. If they didn’t act, the Tier-9 beast would annihilate everything in its path and raze the city to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millions in the city would die. Head Harold thought it was time for them to seek help from the Human Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening noise rang out in the sky. The Tier-9 corrupted beast made its appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive, giant sky crocodile with wings appeared. The mouth of the crocodile was breathing blue lightning fire. The next second, it shot a lightning attack from its maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one shot, blue lightning bolts landed on the ground. Upon contact, the land exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact force from the explosion swept away the earth. As time passed, one explosion occurred after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family heads and their lifeline beasts faced its wrath. The impact force was so powerful that it overturned the land. The force pushed the lifeline beasts backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only a one-rank gap between them, yet the difference in strength was vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the lightning bolts fell on the lifeline beasts, injuring them. The Beast Tamers received the backlash and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky crocodile hadn’t even started attacking seriously yet, but the powerful lightning bolts had already pushed the lifeline beasts onto the back foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governors Martin and Orion had already sent an emergency request to the Human Alliance. They had found the reason for the earlier beast tides from the unexplored region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them attacked yet. They were observing the Tier-9 Sky Crocodile. They knew the Tier-9 beast was intelligent, but they didn’t know its motive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why no one was attacking it right now. If the Tier-9 beast was provoked, it could cause true havoc. They were hoping it would simply go back to the unexplored area.\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-05T18:52:59.368Z",1,"novelbin.me","75c0e56b69b893a94f812cfbbbe82b780069e886bd6885ff1d9e5360736875d2","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-787","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-785",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
