The Strongest Beast Tamer - 128 Spatial Gates

Lachlan turned to Aaron in confusion and asked, ‘What’s the dragon talking about? What are these spatial gates?’

‘They’re tears in space, they usually connect two locations together that are usually in another galaxy. That cave you entered, there’s a spatial gate there, a permanent one’ Aaron explained.

‘So you’re telling me you actually come from another planet? And that there’s a spatial tear that connects those two planets together on that island?’ Lachlan couldn’t believe what he was hearing, it sounded both bizarre but normal at the same time.

‘Indeed, although the spatial tear on the island is rather unique. Usually, they stay in the spot where they were formed; however, the one on the island seems to follow it around as though its space is separate from everything surrounding it’ Aaron explained.

‘And you didn’t think of telling me any time sooner?’ Lachlan asked in annoyance. He thought Aaron was completely loyal to him, vowing to protect him and all those close to him. Lachlan didn’t think of Aaron as the type to keep secrets from him.

Aaron’s head dropped from shame. ‘Well, I had just assumed you knew about it master. Spatial gates are almost impossible to find on accident, which is why I had assumed you knew about it beforehand and prepared to fight whatever was on the other side of the tear’

‘Wait, since it connects to another world does that mean there’s actually a whole other world beyond that cave?’ Lachlan had always been curious as to why walking through the cave felt so weird, especially the first time they went through when their entrance disappeared behind them. Now all his questions were answered.

‘Indeed, it’s a dangerous world where humans are a lot more barbaric and strong. Due to the world they live, they can’t focus on developing technology peacefully and instead focus on developing fighting abilities, magical skills, and cultivation techniques which is somewhat linked to magical skills’ Aaron explained. ‘If I were to put a comparison, someone of your strength master would be ranked as a squadron knight leader’

‘And how many ranks are above that?’ Lachlan asked. He was already shocked, considering that with his strength he could safely say that outside his group he would be the strongest in the world. Now he was getting told that he would only be a squadron leader in the world Aaron is from.

‘Above squadron leader, there’s Vice-Commander, Commander, Garrison Leader, the two constables and then there’s obviously the royalty, Baron/Baroness, Viscount/Viscountess, Earl/Countess, Marquess/Marchioness, Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess then finally the king and queen. Granted, each kingdom works differently. Some have two militaries, the knights and the sorcerors while some might even have three; the third one being the cultivators. There are also come kingdoms that are controlled by a religion whose ranks are also different’ Aaron explained in detail.

‘When did your world evolve?’ Lachlan asked. After everything he heard he remembered that the spatial gate is a two-way street, meaning the people of Aaron’s world could come through. And hearing how strong he was in comparison made him slightly fearful as to what they would do if they make it over.

‘It evolved roughly 3 years ago, similar to this world. I was originally a normal cave lion, however, once the evolution happened I evolved into a griffon. So it’s not impossible that creatures of similar strength to mine have appeared. There’s also the whole crossbreeding thing that Alfredo was partaking in, something people of my world wouldn’t even fathom. I will say though before you even think about going to my world and exploring it; the humans there evolved differently due to their nature and low intelligence. Although their strength is great they’re only able to tame one beast in total’ Aaron informed Lachlan of even more things about his world.

As the conversation was going on the dragon was getting angrier by the second. Its pride couldn’t take being ignored. “You three! Did you not hear my question or do you want to die!”

“Yeah we heard it alright, although I don’t know what gives you the confidence that you could kill us,” Lachlan said as Aaron unleashed his aura.

Unlike the dragon that hasn’t trained using its aura and lets it run wild. Aaron’s aura is completely controlled, focusing and concentrating on one point. The dragon was prepared for that level of pressure and its concentration broke.

Lachlan swiftly summoned the three Rocs and sent them attacking. With the dragon currently being suppressed the Rocs didn’t find any issue with injuring it. Unfortunately, due to its personality, it continued to risk both parties lives when push comes to shove.

‘Father, this damn lizard is making it difficult for us to do any real damage, even with Aaron suppressing it’ Calamity complained.

‘Alright, Aaron, go help them out’ Lachlan commanded before grabbing hold of Phoebe and hopping off. They floated towards the ground peacefully, there didn’t seem to be many beasts where they were landing as they seemed more concentrated at where the dragon was.

‘I really want to tame that dragon’ Lachlan thought. There was just something childish that awoken inside of him that wanted that dragon. Although it wasn’t necessarily as cool or strong as a real, fire breathing dragon, he might be able to evolve it into one.

‘Master, that might be more difficult than you think. As dragons are noble creatures they hate the very idea of working for someone, they think of themselves as rulers of the world, that’s just how they are. Although they also respect strength so it might be possible but that would mean fighting the dragon in a one vs one situation, something I wouldn’t suggest’ Aaron explained when he heard Lachlan’s thoughts.

‘Indeed, even I’m not stupid enough to do something so dangerous. But I just really want to tame it, there’s just something so mythical and amazing about taming a dragon’ Lachlan said.

‘Well, if you want to tame a dragon you could try coming to my world. Although before you go taming a dragon I would suggest you first try and search for a manual that’ll help increase your strength, that way you won’t be looked down upon by the dragons’ Aaron explained.

‘Just wondering though, why didn’t you tell me about all this stuff sooner?’ Lachlan asked.

‘Well master, it’s because you might not be cut out to survive in my world. The humans constantly scheme against each other, fight, kill and there are almost no real laws. The only thing that matters is strength, you can get away with anything if you have the strength to back it’ Aaron explained. ‘And although you might have a lot of strength your personality just won’t do; you have to be ready to slaughter an entire city if you want to survive, that’s just how it is’

‘So you were worried about me?’ Lachlan felt touched. He could understand Aaron’s concerns, he does know his own world better than Lachlan. And after hearing about Aaron’s world he too was slightly hesitant.

If the humans there were truly as barbaric and strong as Aaron explained then it would be incredibly dangerous to travel there. One wrong move and he could instantly get into a fight, granted, he was confident in his escaping abilities.

If push comes to shove he could just crush everyone into the ground with a gravity stone. Although even then Lachlan wasn’t completely confident as to whether or not it would work. If there truly are magicians/sorcerers and cultivators then they might have the ability to nullify gravity.

While Lachlan thought about his next course of action the fight against the dragon raged on. With Aaron joining the fight the four beasts began to dominate the dragon and push him back into the temple.

“This is impossible! I, a noble dragon getting pushed back by the likes of you inferior beings; impossible!” The dragon went into a frenzy, the fire in his eyes intensified and began to spread through his body, lining his bones.

The black liquid started bubbling wildly as well, it started to move, heading towards the dragon as though it was alive. It swiftly reached the dragon and began climbing up its bones, soaking them black as it caught alight by the fire.

Lachlan and the others thought it would die from all that fire but it raised its head to look at everyone and opened its mouth wide. Purple flames shot from its mouth towards the group, Lachlan swiftly lunged there and slammed his hands against the ground, putting up a wall of ice.

The fire split from the ice, spreading around them as it left the ground scorched, there were still small purple fires left over. The dragon noticed its attack didn’t work and prepared to fire another, the flames across its body intensified.

Just as it was about to shot Aaron swooped down from above, slamming its mouth into the ground and crushing it shut. The fire blew up within the dragon’s mouth, flames shot out of its nose and bones, almost scorching Aaron in the process.

“Damn piece of shit!” The dragon roared as he swung his boney claws at Aaron.

Calamity flew down and gripped tightly onto the dragon’s arm bone, crushing it in his grasp, sending the dragon into a wild frenzy he swung his tail towards Calamity’s head. The flames crackled and the wind whistled as the tail came towards it.

Catastrophe joined in this time, pinning the tail to the ground and crushing it in his grasp. Although the bone’s defence was strong, it’s gripping strength was stronger.

Disaster swooped into action, grabbing hold of its other front leg bone, yanking it back and forcing the dragon to lose its balance. Aaron roared as ice ruptured from the ground, trapping its two hind legs.

“This is impossible! This should not happen!” The dragon roared as his flames intensified even more. The heat from it could be felt a mile away, the surroundings were burning up, including the ice.

The three Rocs soared into the sky, lightning clouds began to gather into a cluster, thunder roared as blue lightning could be seen zapping through. Aaron’s wings spread wide, it screen loudly and something happened.

The Lightning’s power increase, it became thicker and darker. Electricity was skimming across the Rocs’ body, weaving through the feathers as it gathered in the eyes.

They gave a final screech before a lightning bolt struck down, slamming into the head of the dragon. Its sheer power shook the ground, the explosion echoed through the island and surrounding waters.

“Impossible,” The dragon’s voice faded as its bones collapsed, its head broken apart. The clattering of bones set the mind’s at ease, the hellish purple flames died down before becoming nothing but a spark that soon dispersed in the wind as well.

Silence consumed the battlefield before an array of cheers went off. The fight was amazing to say the least, but what Lachlan was most intrigued about was the final attack.

‘Aaron, did you increase the power of the lightning?’ Lachlan asked.

‘Yes’ Aaron replied.
