The Absolute beast Tamer

Chapter 19 A true brush with death (1)

3 days later, Alan and Nova were having a break under a huge tree inside the forest.

The aura around them has changed; in the last 3 days, they have hunted all the time, using every moment they had to find prey and engage in combat.

The two of them have hunted more than 70 second-stage beasts with over 150 first-stage beasts.

The aura of slaughter was clearly shown on Alan as if he was wearing it. He looked like a calm, sharp sword that is ready to kill at any moment.

As for Nova, she had her first baptism in blood; as a beast, it has fulfilled its utmost primal desire.

Alan, who looked at his and Nova's information, knew that those who survived in the wild will be 10 times stronger than the ones who are protected inside the towns and cities like a flower in a glass case.

Name: [Alan Ortex]

Stage: [2nd stage] [49%]

Name: [Nova]

Stage: [2nd stage] [89%]

Their progress can only be described as phenomenal; engaging in a life-and-death battle can indeed stimulate one's potential; his own progress stemmed from having beast meat for every meal and his continuous effort to meditate all night with no time to sleep at all, yet compared to Nova, he still has fallen behind.

Nova, who tasted her first blood, began to consume cores at a much faster rate than what Alan had expected.

In the last 3 days she has consumed over 100 first stage cores and more than 30 second stage cores.

As they were resting and having their meal, Alan, who was deep in thought, was woken up by the sound of a bang that came from nearby.

The moment Alan and Nova heard the sound that vigilance heightened up, it was as if something came crashing down to the ground.

The two immediately headed towards the sound location.

5 minutes later, standing on the branch of a huge tree, the two of them observed the situation.

A hover vehicle seems to have crashed into the ground. Inside the vehicle was an injured person, and as they were still a little bit far away, they couldn't see clearly what that person's situation was.

Just as Alan was debating whether to come closer to the vehicle, multiple sounds of howling came from the surroundings, which made him instantly become vigilant.

The name of his town was Howler Town, and it was for a reason. The most famous type of monsters that resides inside the woods that surround the town is of the wolf species.

There was even a time when you could hear the howling wolves every night inside Howler Town; this was a story that was told by the predecessors who built this town.

The lesson to be understood from this is just how many beasts of the wolf species resided inside the forest; it was even said that they have initiated multiple beast stampedes to attack Howler town in the past.

From the shades inside the woods, many wolves and beasts started to come out; their target was the crashed vehicle.

It was as if a floodgate had opened, and hundreds of wolves came running in the vehicle's direction.

More than a hundred first-stage wolf beasts and almost a 30-second stage beast were making their way to the crashed vehicle.

Alan took a deep breath as he tried to analyze the situation. The person inside the vehicle's status is unknown; we don't know whether he's alive or dead. And even if Alan wanted to help, he couldn't. Alan by no means thought of himself as a hero. And he would never jeopardize his life for someone he did not know, as he knew that he had much to lose; leaving behind his mother and sister alone in the world to fend for themselves was not an option that Alan could stomach.

Just as he was thinking, the wolves surrounded the crashed vehicle, and a few were getting closer; suddenly, from the crashed vehicle, a cub of a beast jumped down and started glaring at the coming wolves.

Name: [lumi]

"Clear your thoughts, heighten your focus. Get rid of any distracting information, thoughts, or feelings; focus on one thing: how to kill.

Alan, who was chanting and telling himself, crashed into the first wave, attack after attack, fist after fist, one beast fell after another, entering a trance state.

Like a slaughter machine, a walking god of death, every move of his became much more refined with every action he took, a life as the fight progressed. His hands became the scythe's that reaped the lives of every beast around him.

Seeing their own falls at the hand of this intruder, all the surrounding wolves went into a fit of rage.

Soon a second wave of them came crashing down on Alan. More than 70 of them attacked at once.

Still as if this wave of beasts meant nothing to him, Alan intercepted this wave, moving at a faster speed each moment it went by, with the precision of a laser cannon; his fists crushed down anything and everything in his path.

Wounds appeared all over Alan's body, yet his movement hadn't faltered at all.

Watching half of their pack already slaughtered by this intruder, all the second-stage wolves immediately attacked, seething in anger, wanting to rip this intruder apart and dismember him, feasting on his blood to avenge their fallen ones.

....

Jake: "Shall we intervene? , The boy will not last long. He is already hurt, and we need to ensure the safety of the passenger on the Hoover jet.

Lao: "Okay, we will rescue them immediately."

Boss: "You two don't move; just watch."

Jake: "But Boss, the boy...."

With one look from his boss, Jake shut his mouth up.

Three people were watching the battle unfold; nothing in the vicinity could detect their presence. As if they never existed at all.

One woman and two men were watching Alan slaughtering his way through the waves of wolves that seemed never to end.

...

The moment the second stage wolves attacked, every muscle in Alan's body relaxed. Even he was unsure of what was happening to him; his moves became more refined, and his attacks more lethal. With every breath he took, he harvested one life.

Every single detail around him was accounted for, and every move that he made served a single purpose: to take down an enemy.

The moment he clashed with the second stage wolves, he suffered more injuries; as time went by, his movement slowed down.

In the eyes of the wolves, this meant that this enemy started to falter and began to lose the fight, which in turn made them much more excited to attack.

Five of them immediately jumped at Alan, but the moment they were in the air, Alan's body exploded forward much faster than before, delivering five blows, reaping five lives.

More than 70% of the pack was already dead, but at the same time Alan was already out of stamina even though his Ena reservoir was low. His fighting style was becoming more and more efficient, getting rid of any useless movement and not doing any inefficient action. Using the least amount of energy to ensure a kill.

At that moment the last 15 second stage wolves decided to attack together to bring down this intruder.

Surrounded and wounded with little to no stamina left at all, Alan decided to trade an injury for a kill, launching himself forward at the incoming 15 wolves.

In just a moment he took three severe injuries to his shoulder and two to his left leg.

In the process he managed to kill seven of them, but the last eight continued their attack at that moment like a precisely calculated move, and from nowhere a much bigger wolf that looked giant compared to the others launched itself from nowhere, opening its big jaws to split Alan in half.

It was the true moment at the edge of life and death for Alan in this fight.
