Return Of The Supreme Beast Tamer
Chapter 143: An Unknown Danger

Chapter 143: An Unknown Danger

WHOOSH!

The fox reacted instantly, leaping agilely to the side as a figure smashed into the ground where it had been standing just a fraction of a second before. The impact sent shards of ice and dust erupting in all directions, even the magically reinforced ice was unable to withstand the sheer force.

The Fox stared, its golden eyes wide with disbelief, at the figure that had just attacked. Then, it turned its head to see another identical Christopher calmly landing on the ground a few meters away.

***You... You used my skill?!*** It asked in mild horror, its voice laced with disbelief.

"I copied them and also perfected them," Christopher replied calmly, a faint smirk playing on his lips.

He waved his hand, and more of his clones materialized, shimmering into existence. The first clone, the one that had attacked, leaped backward and landed gracefully beside nine newly formed duplicates.

The ten clones were all clad in intricate ice armor, their forms radiating a chilling aura. Each held a long, wickedly sharp ice sword in their grip.

’These ten here all have the strength of a Supreme level low stage! Each of them can destroy a small city...’ He raised his own hand, observing his palm, a strange new power coursing through him.

’And I can create one thousand of them... Is this the feeling of being immortal?’ He thought with a burgeoning smirk.

’I can finally deal with those five fools, but... Let’s first defeat them in the international competition, then on that day, I will wipe those five fools out!’ A cold determination settled in his eyes.

WHOOSH!!!

He looked up, sensing a sudden surge of energy, and saw the fox appearing directly in front of him, its golden claws extended in a swift, deadly strike.

***You dare take your mind from the battle?!! Do you think I am so insufficient?!!!*** It roared, its voice filled with fury.

BAM!!!!!

***...?!!!***

The fox stared down in utter shock at the two ice clones that had intercepted its attack, their ice swords crossed in a perfect block. Before it could react, the other eight clones leaped into the air, diving down towards it like icy predators.

BOOOOOM!!

The clones landed on the shattered ice floor in a coordinated maneuver, forming a semi-circle around the fox, their icy gazes fixed on the enraged beast.

***This! So this bastard let my clone attack him so he could copy my skill... This is bad, if he can really use my skill, doesn’t that mean all these clones can use his complete skills?!*** The fox’s eyes widened in horror, realization dawning on its face.

"You know... In all my life, I have never come in contact with such a good skill... Well... Apart from the one I used to copy it, this is the second best... A skill that can create clones of yourself, and each clone will have the strength below your rank... Not only that, they can use your skills and I won’t feel anything?! No using of life force or vitality," Christopher mused aloud, a hint of admiration in his voice.

***You fool!! These clones are just like lifespans... If one gets killed you won’t be able to summon him! Meaning, if your thousands of clones get killed, the skill will be useless, unless you move two levels higher than your current one before you will be able to use it again!!*** It spat out, its voice laced with venom.

"Wow... Thanks for this valuable piece of information... For that, I will give you a swift death," he said, his tone suddenly cold and devoid of emotion.

***Hehehe... Funny, because I was thinking the opposite.***

The fox looked up at him, its golden eyes instantly turning a terrifying shade of crimson red.

Christopher staggered backward for a few seconds, a wave of disorientation washing over him. The ice clones shimmered and shattered into particles of light, disappearing completely.

***DIE!!!***

The fox seized the opportunity, launching itself forward with blinding speed, aiming for the kill.

BAM!!!!!

***....?!!!***

The Fox stared in utter bewilderment at the hand that had suddenly clamped around its wrist, halting its attack inches from Christopher’s chest. It looked up slowly, its crimson eyes meeting an equally terrifying pair of red eyes staring down at it.

***Im... I’m... Impossible!*** It stammered, its voice trembling with disbelief and fear.

***You can use such a skill twice?!*** It asked in mild horror, its mind reeling.

Christopher smirked, a predatory glint in his red eyes, and subtly activated the copied mind-control skill again.

***Ahh!***

The fox froze mid-motion, its body rigid. Christopher released its wrist, and it dropped to its knees like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Slap yourself," he commanded, his voice a low, hypnotic drawl.

The Fox’s hand rose slowly, as if controlled by an invisible force, and struck itself hard across the face.

"Stand up."

The fox stood up, its eyes completely devoid of its own will, now a deep, unsettling crimson.

’Wow... I am truly impressed, I gained three powerful skills today... What an harvest,’ Christopher thought, a chilling satisfaction washing over him.

He observed the entranced fox, and gave one final, chilling command:

"Cut off your head."

The fox raised its clawed hand, its movements jerky and unnatural, and plunged it into both sides of its neck. Before it could inflict the fatal wound, Christopher’s life force sword flashed, piercing through the fox’s chest, bypassing its armor and bursting its heart in a shower of blood.

BAM!!

Simultaneously, the fox’s own hand completed its gruesome task, severing its head. Christopher retracted his life force sword, the golden energy dissipating.

’It seems they will do anything, even go as far as kill themselves,’ he thought, a cold shiver running down his spine despite the simulated environment.

"What powerful skills."

[Congratulations Christopher, you won the game... You will go back in ten seconds.]

The tutorial’s emotionless voice echoed across the training map.

Christopher nodded slowly, his red eyes fading back to their natural hazel. He turned to the horizon, a deep frown creasing his brow.

’Who really are you?’ He wondered, a sense of unease settling within him.

_______

Millions of miles from Cordelia county... Past the vast, churning oceans, lay a deep, eerie cave, its entrance shrouded in perpetual darkness. In the deepest chambers of this cavern, a shapeless monster, its immense form measuring thirty meters tall, sat in silent slumber...

...Around this colossal creature stood countless horrifying monsters, a grotesque assembly of all shapes and sizes, their eyes glowing menacingly in the gloom.

BAM!

The two enormous red eyes of the shapeless creature snapped open, radiating an ancient and malevolent power. Instantly, all the surrounding beasts raised their heads towards their awakening master.

The weakest of the monsters present was a divine stage beast, boasting a Lv10 combat strength... While the shapeless monster itself exuded the terrifying aura of a Celestial stage, its combat strength an overwhelming Lv17.

*****Gegegegege... Doesn’t know the humans have such powerful beings...***** A chilling female voice, filled with a primordial malice, escaped from the creature’s shapeless form.

The creature turned its massive head towards a red-scaled crocodile, its armored hide gleaming menacingly, which stood some meters away.

*****Go and stop this human growth... Destroy and kill anything that stands in your way!*****

****Yes, Mother.****

The colossal armored scale crocodile turned its massive body around and lumbered away, the raw energy of a half-celestial stage beast rippling outwards from its form.

The mother creature turned its head back, its red eyes burning with an inscrutable intent.

*****Christopher... We will see how you handle this.*****
