Chapter 971: The Turning Tide
Wilderness
Jeremy Night was observing the place. He was especially looking at the small grains of sand on the ground.
They were shaking a lot. He knew that a beast was nearby, but he could not see the beast using his second eye power.
He unsheathed the blade and held it in his right hand. He added the starlight thread to the edge of the blade. The starlight thread looked bright and strong.
The blade edge was glowing with starlight power. He had practiced extensively last night. He had especially paid a lot of attention to improving his blade skills.
He wanted his blade skills to enter the advanced stage, but they had not entered so far. All he wanted were a few battle experiences to reach that stage.
Boom!
His eyes finally spotted something ten minutes later.
A massive frame was moving under the ground. The frame was huge. It was similar to the size of a Tier-6 Beast. His eyes flashed with relief.
He could do a lot better this time. He gripped the handle tightly.
Boom!
The ground surface exploded a couple of meters ahead of him. Debris flew into mid-air. The ground cracked.
Next, a huge worm beast’s head appeared above the surface. His gaze fell on the head. The head was the same as before.
The head was slippery. The rest of the body was still underground. The movement of the beast caused a tremor.
Boom!
The beast then found him and started coming towards him.
He was using his eye power. He was observing the beast. The movement of the beast appeared to be slow in his eyes.
His brain was analyzing. He was coming up with a solution.
He looked towards the flank and decided to riddle the side of its body with holes.
Swoosh!
He shifted his body weight. He then used the movement method to reach the flank.
In the blink of an eye, both the beast and he got closer to each other. He had already predicted the movement and the direction.
He used his eye power to move. He arrived at the side of its body and slashed at the beast. The blade split open the slippery flesh.
Pfff!
A mucous liquid spurted from the wound. He didn’t stop there. He continued to sweep the blade across.
While he moved past, he drew a long horizontal line across the body. He crossed more than 6 meters before withdrawing the blade.
Pfff!
More and more blood flowed out from the wound. He then moved backwards to create a long gap.
Right then, the beast moved towards his side. The movement crushed the ground. The shock force spread across the place.
Jeremy Night saw the beast. He wanted to use this opportunity to inflict more blade wounds. He couldn’t afford to give more time to the worm beast.
If he delayed further, the worm beast could use its ability. He didn’t want the worm beast to use its movement ability.
Swoosh!
He moved faster. He used the movement method to reach the same side again. The worm beast failed to hit him. Now, as the body stabilized for a minute,
He used the opportunity to attack. He used the "Blade One" move. The blade moves cut further through the body.
The starlight power cut through the tough defense. Because of it, the blade went further inside the skin. He then withdrew the blade before going backwards.
Boom!
Right then, the beast used its ability. A monstrous pressure set off from its body. Jeremy Night received the impact.
He felt his chest tighten. But he could move his hands under the pressure. It was because of the breakthrough.
But it was not enough. If the pressure continued, his internals could be hurt.
Buzz!
Right then, the unknown beast egg reacted. It gave special energy to his body. The special energy covered the important parts of his body.
The next second, the pressure was gone from his body.
He turned towards the beast. He didn’t want to make the same mistake. He was not going to run again.
"Explosive Steps"
He used the movement method again to get closer. The worm beast moved closer towards him.
Slash!
He shifted his body weight and attacked the flank side. The blade went through the beast’s body again.
Pfff!
Blood gushed forth from the wounds. He didn’t stop there and continued to stab the beast in a short span of time.
This time, multiple stab wounds slowed down the worm beast. It gave him more of a chance to inflict wounds.
The worm beast tried to reach the human beast tamer, but it failed to find the enemy. Instead, the injuries on the beast’s body were increasing.
The beast was weakening slowly. The beast realized that the Human Beast Tamer was hard to target.
Swoosh!
The next second, the worm beast moved underground. It immediately fled from the place.
On the other hand, Jeremy Night stayed there. His arms were hurting. He had caused many blade wounds on the worm beast.
He did better than last time. Last time, he caused a few wounds, but the worm beast used its ability earlier.
This time he was clever. He left behind many blade wounds. His gaze fell on the ground. Ahead, he saw a pool of blood.
The worm beast had a terrible blood loss. Its strength was weakened. If the beast stayed here longer, it would have bled to death.
Jeremy then looked at his blade. He was pushing his blade skills forward while attacking the beast, but it was not enough. He didn’t get the inspiration to enter the advanced stage.
He had other moves as well, but he wanted to use the blade skill during the rest of the mission so that his blade skill could enter the advanced stage.
Next, he went toward a nearby shade tree. He sat down under the tree. He was using the breathing method.
Slowly, the natural energy entered his body. He circulated the natural energy. The natural energy flowed across his body.
The hidden injuries began to heal. The pressure earlier was really something. Fortunately, the unknown beast egg gave protection at the last moment.
