Tamer of Cosmic Beasts

Chapter 42: Battle Begins

Everyone was startled upon seeing that gigantic army of beasts, Baghi commented with a grim face.

"Most of them are at the Star Captain realm, while some are even Star General experts. If such armies of beast raids attacked our world, we wouldn't even last a week."

"I'm scared..."

The wife of Razi Tea said, afraid.

Haji's wife, Ayesha, was there too, she was scared as well along with many others, both males and females. but she stayed silent like the rest and clenched her husband's arm strongly.

Zaheer saw that and chided Baghi.

"Old fool, why did you bring your entire family into such a dangerous place, have you gone mad?"

Baghi Tea shut him up in with a harsh answer.

"Shut up, old fart. You should focus on those beasts, not my family."

Soon, the silence of battle field was broken up. The wolf spoke in a soothing voice.

"Black Dragon, today, one of us will fall. You have violated the rules of the territorial treaty. As such, we have all come here to fight."

The Black Dragon laughed, his voice was a high pitched one, irritating to the ear. He replied.

"Hehehe, you think you can win against me, with that pathetic army of yours?"

"Our pathetic army, as you call it, outnumbers yours. Your arrogance will be your demise, Black Dragon."

The dragon showed his yellow and bloodied fangs and replied while smirking.

"Did you assume that this was our entire army, hehehe?"

These words startled the wolf when, suddenly, it looked in Akash's direction. Everyone else panicked but Akash was calm.

"Don't panic, they already knew about our existence here, they are simply ignoring us. The wolf is also looking somewhere else."

Akash looked behind and didn't see anything. He closed his eyes and laid down on the floor before placing his ear on the ground and trying to sense the vibrations coming off it. Akash's eyes widened.

"There is another army coming from behind, let's move from here!"

Akash and the rest rushed, jumped and, in Akash's case, flew from there, now that they had been seen, they didn't try to hide and simply moved kilometers away on the mountain.

The wolf growled in anger.

"You shameful bastard, you called for help from the outside, you have betrayed this land! Let me warn you, time will do nothing to diminish the odium a traitor like yourself will have to suffer for the rest of your days."

The dragon laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, my ambition won't end in this meager valley, I will rule this entire planet!"

The wolf chuckled.

"Your power and army are only effective here, once you catch their attention, they'll tear you and your army apart. You know them very well, don't you?"

Black Dragon jerked, as if the wolf had hit a sore spot. As a result, it started to glare at the canine, full of killing intent, instead of acting carefree like before. His target of hatred, the wolf, didn't let with his own bloodlust.

Erelong, another beast army of around 10,000 arrived. Lead by a 200-meter-long plain red snake. The only eye-catching thing about it was its long length. Akash curiously looked at it, he felt that this snake was more dangerous than both the wolf and dragon.

He asked the System.

"System, can you give me information about that snake?"

*beep*

[Species: Red Mamba (Tamer)

Realm: 1st Moon, Star Prince

Aptitude: Lower-Legendary Grade

Learnt Laws: Fire Law, Poison Law

Inborn Laws: Blood Law (Awakened), Summon Law (Awakened)]

Akash was surprised, he didn't know that he could check a beast's profile as well. He looked at the snake and uttered.

"This snake is not a beast, it's a tamer just like us!"

Everyone was baffled.

"Beasts can become tamers too!"

Someone said in astonishment.

Red Mamba sensed something abnormal in Akash. After all, Akash was only at the 1st Star realm and couldn't hide his strength from big powerhouses.

It looked in Akash's direction, hissed and asked Black Dragon.

"Hissss... Who are these maggots? They have an ill smell on them."

The dragon replied without even looking at them.

"Finish them."

Mamba didn't wait and gave the signal, after which a wave of beasts marched towards Akash and the others. He looked at his people, scared witless except for four: Daan, Sohrab, Sacra and Haji.

The trio had unbreakable trust in Akash, when he told them they wouldn't die, they didn't have any reason left to worry. While on the other hand, Haji had been in the Training Grounds before and had experienced it himself.

Akash opened his All-Devouring Dwelling and Ponytail came out. The Mamba, Dragon and Wolf all looked at Ponytail. His bloodline was stronger than any other beast present.

Akash yelled at his force.

"Call your beasts out and get ready!"

Everyone brought out their weapons and beasts, the force of 64 immediately expanded into 320 members. As a whole, they had brought out 256 beasts. Baghi Tea and the Seth Family brought out one dragon each, not escaping Akash's notice. The rest of the beasts were weaker as the dragons and Ponytail had the strongest bloodlines.

The Beasts were running towards them ferociously. Dragons, wyverns and many other species were charging at them, bloodthirst apparent in their glare and eagerness for battle.

Ponytail growled in anger as he threw his golden staff in the air before catching with his other hand mid-air and thumping it on the ground. In between those actions, he beat his chest like a drum. An inborn technique called the Pride of the Apes.

~THUD THUD THUD THUD~

~ROOOAAAAAAAAAAAWWRR~

Ponytail sent a loud war cry echoing throughout the entire valley, Akash looked at him in awe. The marching beasts were halted as fear sprouted in their hearts.

While the effect on his allies was the opposite, their fear vanished and zeal to fight rose in the body of both tamer and their beasts alike Ponytail had evolved this technique into his own personal Pride of the Panda.

All 320 members of Akash's army cried out at the same time. Their boldness shocked the dragon, mamba and wolf.

Black Dragon shouted at Red Mamba.

"Mamba, hurry up and kill them!"

Mamba ordered his entire army to attack while the wolf yelled.

"I won't let you. Shine Moose, go and save those people!"

"As you command."

A giant yellow goose jumped and paced towards them, leading thousands of beasts behind it.

Black Dragon roared and launched an all-out attack on the wolf, who, in turn, barred his fangs and spoke.

"Let's end this, comrades!"

Akash calmy calculated the battlefield, raised his hand towards the incoming attack and shouted.

"Charge!"

With a loud cry, Akash's army rushed towards the beasts as well.
