There were more beasts coming towards them. They had only a couple of minutes of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they completely defeated the wave, they wouldn't be able to get enough rest. Jeremy gripped his katana and readied himself to face the next wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alarm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, the warning alarm sounded again. It immediately caused panic and commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the alarm sounded, it meant a new wave of beasts was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, it was Tier-2 and Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts. Jeremy had a bad premonition in his heart. He didn't know whether the new wave would be any dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed down these thoughts and focused on the beasts charging towards him. He gently circulated the starlight energy. The katana blade filled with starlight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Eyes Monkey smashed the Tier-2 Beast on its face. On the other hand, the Bull was one tier higher than the monkey. The bull instantly killed the Tier-2 Beast using its horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two lifeline beasts reduced pressure on Ken and Senior Norton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive Tier-3 beast over 15 ft tall approached Jeremy. At first, the beast didn't seem big. But now it appeared huge up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy drew the sword. He took a few steps forward before stabbing the massive four-legged Corrupted beast in different parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the huge beast's legs were severed. When the beast lowered its head, Jeremy brought down the katana to sever its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood poured out in large quantities as the severed head rolled over the ground. This all happened within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight energy covering the blade had dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy heard Rin's cry the next second. He saw a Tier-3 Lizard Beast manage to walk past Norton and strike Rin's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sent flying before crashing into the other teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy moved towards the Lizard. The Lizard Beast immediately turned towards him. His eyes were on its powerful tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the Lizard sprinted forward using its hind legs. The massive power generated by its hind legs pushed it forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was stunned. He immediately used his katana to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon contact, he was pushed backward. It took him a couple of seconds to stabilize himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy felt pain in his shoulders and legs. He could use starlight energy to kill the Tier-3 Beast. But in reality, he was a Tier-1 Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then used the starlight energy again. The katana blade was covered with starlight energy once more. This time he sprinted towards the Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he got closer, he leaped forward before bringing down the katana to stab the Lizard's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The star-filled blade went inside the head, destroying the skull and brain within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he felt relaxed, he heard the screams of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier-4,\" Jeremy's pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped up and returned to his position, looking at the wilderness again. He saw how the remaining Tier-3 Beasts were alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's over, what are we going to do?\" Ken asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Eyes Monkey standing beside him was trembling. Not only him; Norton was nervous as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown Bull made a sound. It was cowering in fear as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin had been taken back to the infirmary a while ago, so she didn't have to face the incoming Tier-4 Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy checked his mental zone. The starlight energy in it had depleted a lot. It might help him fight against one or two, but he didn't know how long it would last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Captain Mirza will take action,\" Norton's voice sounded in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Jeremy looked at him. He saw Norton pointing to the sky above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed his gaze and saw Captain Mirza standing with others. They were hovering in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>City A:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elton returned to City A while standing on his lifeline beast. His expression was grave. He was not only injured; his lifeline beast was hurt as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his investigation in the wilderness yielded no positive outcomes. He was attacked by a Tier-7 Thorny Worm Beast. He didn't know whether it was the only one, or if other worm beasts were hiding nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the two City Governors spotted him. They exchanged smiles, but when they saw Elton up close, they noticed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is injured,\" the tall City Governor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other shorter one wore a grave expression as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, let's ask him,\" the short one said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elton jumped off from the bird's back and stood in mid-air. He then called back his lifeline beast to the mental zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with injuries on his body, he wanted to remind the other two City Governors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elton, what happened?\" the tall one asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was attacked by a Tier-7 Thorny Worm. I don't know whether there are others,\" Elton replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the expressions of the other two turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's Tier-7, we have to kill it,\" the tall City Governor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to the wilderness; people are already dying. You don't want to go back while the young ones are losing their lives,\" the shorter City Governor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elton's expression worsened. He was injured, but he couldn't use any excuse. This is war. They had to protect City A and the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, take the medicine and come with us.\" After saying that, the short City Governor tossed a liquid bottle to Elton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elton reluctantly accepted it and drank it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making a few things clear, they gave orders to commanders to stop the casualties from increasing. They could go and assist the Beast Tamers in killing the Tier-4 Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the three City Governors started moving in mid-air towards the wilderness. Since it was a Tier-7 worm beast, they had decided to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they attacked the beast from the sky, they wouldn't feel threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their defensive mindset was going to cost many lives. It would put pressure on front-line Beast Tamers and commanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still 10 Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts and 3 Tier-6 Beasts yet to take any action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Governors themselves knew that if they delayed any longer, the lower-tier Beast Tamers would die in greater numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffad921dc11c7f3f9d8a5334a21119205fb82168a15cbbca232903f067403cbd","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-98","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-96",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
