Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 31

Gibran Edwards came from within the city walls and landed in front of the guards.

“A C-rank mutated beast?”

He quickly sensed Heber’s rank through its aura.

Then, he looked at Athosen to probe its strength level.

But Athosen returned an extremely fierce look.

Gibran subconsciously took a step back.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At the same time, Gibran was extremely shocked.

The aura of this mutated beast was not strong, but its temperament was so terrifying.

Just one look was enough to make him, a C-class Beast Tamer, feel afraid.

“Puny human, you dare to probe my depths? Are you courting death?”

Athosen opened its mouth and let out a hoarse voice. Its cold and murderous eyes made those who met its gaze feel as though they were being targeted by an ancient beast.

“A… a mutated beast actually spoke!?” Gibran’s eyes widened as he took a few steps back.

Even though he was only 22 years old, he knew a lot.

He had read almost all the ancient books related to mutated beasts.

However, he had never seen any ancient books that had records of beasts that could speak.

“You are the mutated beast, your whole family are mutated beasts!”

Athosen lashed out angrily. It roared in its mind, ‘I am the prince of the Darkin Race!’

If Matthew hadn’t prevented it from revealing the identity of the Darkin Race, Athosen wished that the entire world, and even the entire universe, knew that the Darkin Race had returned to restore their glory!

Gibran took a few steps back again. The shock in his eyes became even more intense, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.

“The beast really spoke…”

Gibran whispered to the guards captain, “Go inform the City Lord and report the situation here.”

The guard captain realized the gravity of the situation.

Even the youngest C-class Beast Tamer in front of him could not handle this situation.

He immediately responded and ran into the city.

“Why did you come to Yunras City?”

Gibran looked at Athosen and forced himself to calm down.

Athosen revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said with an extremely sinister expression, “Of course it is to reward the living with death!”

Matthew, who was on Heber’s head, was impressed by what Athosen had said for the first time.

Since he had encountered a C-class Beast Tamer here, he might as well take this opportunity to test out the other party’s skills.

He wanted to see what was so special about a C-class Beast Tamer.

If it wasn’t worth his time to learn, then he might as well just leave and not enter Yunras City.

So when Athosen was talking recklessly, Matthew did not care if it provoked anyone else.

“You!”

Meanwhile, Gibran was extremely shocked in his heart. There was actually a mutated beast that used death as a reward.

“Yunras City is my home. If you want to hurt the people here, you will have to cross over my body.”

Although there was still a trace of fear in Gibran’s heart, he was extremely firm when he spoke. His legs, which were trembling slightly, no longer retreated at this moment.

He would fight for his home, even if it meant losing his life!

“Macmillan!”

Gibran pulled out a cool-looking card from his belt.

He held the card up high, and it let out a dazzling light.

After the light faded, a monster appeared beside Gibran.

That was his mutated beast—Fiery Snowstorm Lion!

Matthew saw everything from above Heber’s head.

It was a five-meter-tall lion. Its mane was like ice, the fur on its back was green, and its tail was burning with a ball of flames.

But as soon as the lion came out and saw Heber and Athosen, its momentum dropped immediately.

Matthew saw fear in its eyes.

Facing the Dragon Race and the Darkin Race, most mutated beasts would feel a sense of fear from their very souls!

‘Mutated beasts with three attributes are rare. Furthermore, it has been nurtured to C-rank. As expected of the youngest C-class Beast Tamer in the city. He does have some means.’

Matthew made a preliminary assessment of Gibran.

In the books he had read, there were very few mutated beasts with three attributes.

Athosen had long wanted to go all out.

How could it, who had just been born, be able to control its restless heart?

After waiting for a moment, Athosen stepped forward when it saw that Matthew was not going to stop it.

“I will suck you and your beast dry and let you experience the beauty of death!”

Athosen shouted hoarsely.

[Bloodthirsty Edge]

It erupted with a terrifying red aura that condensed into a gigantic sword.

The Bloodthirsty Blade shone with a horrifying light, and seemed to be a weapon specially made for slaughter.

“Macmillan, attack!”

Gibran shouted.

Hearing its master’s command, the Fiery Snowstorm Lion abandoned the fear in its heart and headed straight for Athosen. It was as fast as a bolt of lightning, so fast that ordinary people could not react in time.

“My weapon shall undergo the first baptism of blood!”

Athosen let out a loud shout and charged towards the Fiery Snowstorm Lion.

Its body turned into a red comet, its speed even faster than the Fiery Snowstorm Lion’s!

Athosen was only a D-rank. There was a substantial difference between the two!

But Matthew was looking forward to the clash between the two.

What was the difference between a Beast Tamer’s C-rank beast and an ordinary C-rank beast? What was Athosen’s combat power like?

Matthew had yet to see Athosen fight.

Meanwhile, Gibran’s heart was in his throat.

This was his first time seeing a talking mutated beast.

He wondered how strong the other party was.

He was extremely nervous about the result of the collision.

On the other side, the guards and commoners were also looking at the two mutated beasts that were about to collide with each other nervously.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded.

The two collided in an instant.

It was as if two comets had collided, causing the earth to quake and dust to rise into the air. A powerful shockwave erupted.

The guards closest to them were directly overturned by this wave of air.

The civilians in the distance were still alright. They only felt a strong wind blowing past.

On the other hand, Gibran was not feeling good. He was very close to the place where the two collided, and the shockwave he endured far exceeded that of others.

He even had to use magic to protect himself. Otherwise, he would also fly out like the guards, and even his internal organs would rupture.

Compared to their embarrassing situation, Matthew was much better off. With Heber’s protection, a mere blast of air could not approach him.

“How is it? Did Lord Gibran win?”

The guards got up in a fluster. The first thing they did was not to check their own injuries, but to be concerned about Gibran’s victory.

Because the outcome of Gibran concerned the safety of too many people.

If Gibran lost, the people here would be in trouble.

At this moment, the dust that filled the sky dispersed.

Everyone finally saw the two huge figures.

They were all extremely nervous, especially Gibran.

He was the youngest C-class Beast Tamer in Yunras City which was a supreme honor. Naturally, he did not want his reputation to be tainted.

To the strong, failure was a stain.

Matthew was the only one present with a calm expression, as if he didn’t care about the result of the two mutated beasts’ collision.
