The Ancient Beast Tamer Bloodline

Chapter 20: Grave Situation



With the golden light taking effect, the energy was not capable of running rampant within his body. Even though the amount of energy could not cause any effect within his body if it was not contained concerning his capabilities right now, but still, the golden energy still contained it.

At this point, Samuel understood that it seemed that the golden light would not allow any form of energy to be refined by his body, unless he had the intention of doing that himself.

This was something that was quite good, considering that there might be some situations where he would not really want to advance his power level. And in such a situation, the golden light was just good enough to enable him to be able to do what he wanted.

But still, he thought of another thing. This time, instead of thinking of refining the energy, he thought of destroying the energy.

And with that thought, the golden energy suddenly surged. The energy that had suddenly accumulated within his body was destroyed within less than a single second, leaving no trace behind.

Samuel was shocked by this. He had not anticipated that the golden light was going to be that fierce. It had simply destroyed the energy that had been accumulated by consuming several pills in just a matter of less than a single second.

Samuel was thinking of something, which was going to be useful in the future, in case he encountered a situation where there was a form of energy that was harmful to him, and was injected into his body. It was just that he was not really sure if it was going to work, but he was going to try that later on.

But another thing that he was focusing on at this moment was obviously the fact that he could actually grow stronger by eating things that contained a huge amount of energy.

Even though he was not sure about the limits of the golden light within his body, in terms of the amount of energy that it could contain, he still thought that as long as he consumed a lot of energy, he would be able to advance his level.

That was something that others could not do. After all, they might gain access to the energy, but they might not be capable of refining it. Without having the capability of refining the energy that they would have acquired, it would be impossible for them to be able to make the energy their own.

In that situation, it would be impossible for them to be able to boost their own strength. So, some form of energy was completely useless to them, but that was not going to be the case for him.

Just thinking about it, Samuel was getting excited. He could not help but look forward to getting a chance of gaining more energy, then converting the energy into his own, advance his own power level.

And considering that his power level was linked to that of his own beast, as long as he improved his own power level, the power of the eagle would also increase.

....

The situation within the city changed with the information about the possibility of the city being attacked by a monster tide spreading. Those families that had beast tamers within them obviously received the information in advance.

This was to make sure that they made early preparations, in order for them to be ready to face the monster tide in case it attacked.

As for the ordinary citizens, they were not informed about this. The reason behind this was simply because the higher-ups were trying as much as possible to avoid chaos erupting within the city

If the people within the city came to know that a monster tide was going to arrive soon, they would definitely panic. And that was something that they did not want to see.

Additionally, it would be better to handle the situation calmly. For the ordinary people, it was impossible for them to be able to venture outside the city, considering that the number of monsters located between the cities was extremely high.

Even though they were scattered, if these ordinary people encountered even an ordinary one star monster, they would be easily killed.

But of course, it was impossible to be able to block the information about the monster tide approaching completely. But, the information was spreading in form of rumors, making it so that not many people believed it.

After all, it had been quite a long time since the last time that a monster tide had attacked the city. So, most of the people within the city did not believe that.

But others immediately believed the information the moment that they got to know about it. After all, it was impossible to not be able to see that the beast tamers within the city were more active recently.

Additionally, the city wall was being reinforced, improving the security. This was obviously a method that was being used in order to ensure that the monsters would not be able to break into the city.

Moreover, the number of beast tamers moving around had been increasing, and in the air, the beasts that had been tamed were flying occasionally, clearly surveying the situation.

The city Lord and the other beast tamers all tried as much as possible to acquire the information about the monster tide. They had to be prepared, and so, they had to get intel on the monsters that were going to attack the city soon.

And in just a matter of 2 days, they had finally acquired the information that they wanted. According to the information, it was clear that the number of monsters that was going to attack the city was going to be in several thousands.

But that was definitely not something that really concerned them that much, as long as the power level of the monsters was low. But that was not the case.

During the previous monster tides, the highest level of the monsters was only three star rank, and even though the number was more than one, they did not exceed 10.

As for those low-level monsters, they could be almost ignored, with the city lord being present. After all, the gap between a two-star monster, and a 3 star beast tamer was extremely huge.

All that the other people had to do was to make sure that the monsters did not break into the city, allowing the city Lord the time that he required in order to deal with the other three-star monsters. After that, he would be able to easily deal with the two star monsters, giving the chance to the other two star rank beast tamers to be able to deal with the low level monsters, clearing the monsters quite easily.

But on different occasions, they would receive reinforcements from other cities, which would make it easy for them to be able to handle the monster tide. But this time, it was different, considering that they were not going to receive any assistance from the other cities, as they were also facing monster tides of their own.

But the thing that made most of the beast timers to despair was the fact that this time, the monsters that were going to attack the city were going to be extremely strong.

Just the number itself was extremely high, and those that were in the two star rank had already reached about 500. But that was not the main concern. After all, above the two star rank monsters, there were the three star monsters.

As for the number, it was an overwhelming 23. Twenty three 3-star rank monsters had already been spotted. And if there were more, it was not clear at the moment.

But just this number alone was enough to send all the beast tamers within Reti city into despair. Many people had already begun thinking of leaving the city, and escaping to other cities that were not facing this situation.

As for the city Lord, he understood the grave situation that the city was facing. And if he really wanted, it would be possible for him to be able to escape the city, and go to another city.

But considering that his role as the city lord was to ensure the safety of the city and its residents. If he tried something like abandoning the city, even if he survived, those above him would definitely not let him go.

And in this current situation, even though he understood that it was almost impossible for him to be able to deal with this monster tide without any form of assistance, he had no other choice. He was not having the intention of leaving this city to be destroyed, unless he was dead.

During the past 2 days, all the beast tamers had already been informed about the current situation that the city was facing, and they had been told to make preparations to face the monster tide.

It was clear to the city Lord that many people had already begun thinking of abandoning the city, but he could not do anything at the moment. Well, he might have allowed them to leave the city if they had wanted to leave before the monster tide, but it was impossible for them to leave at this moment.

How were they supposed to abandon the city that had provided for them for many years when it faced a calamity? That was something that the city Lord could not allow.

Samuel on the other hand also understood the situation, but he understood that even though there was danger, there was also an opportunity.
