Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: True Beast Tamer
Brenda and Edith’s delicate faces paled at the sight of Athosen who looked so terrifying.
That terrifying, monstrous killing intent, as well as that baleful aura that seemed to cause the entire world to tremble.
Every single one of them was something that only an extremely evil person would possess.
Why would such a monster appear before them?
Was it trying to slaughter them all?
Then Brenda and Edith noticed Matthew’s indifferent expression.
Matthew wasn’t unconscious. He should have sensed the arrival of that monster.
Since Matthew was so calm, this monster shouldn’t be dangerous.
Brenda and Edith’s hearts finally settled.
However, they could not help but feel fearful whenever they saw the ugly face of the monster.
Brenda pointed at Athosen and asked Matthew carefully, “Honorable Dragon Knight, this is…”
“It is my new beast,” Matthew replied casually.
But Athosen couldn’t stand it.
It had always been against the fact that it had become Matthew’s pet.
How could a prince of the Darkin Race become a beast under someone else’s command?
But it was an indisputable fact, and Athosen could not argue with it.
But just because it couldn’t refute the truth didn’t mean it wouldn’t get angry.
Similarly, it could kill everyone except Matthew, so that no one would know that the prince of the Darkin Race was someone else’s beast.
“Humans, I will reward you with death!”
Athosen’s voice was hoarse and fierce.
“Don’t kill innocent people!” Matthew stopped it.
“Ah!”
This unfamiliar voice scared Brenda and Edith into retreating.
They looked at Athosen in horror and stammered, “A… a mutated beast… actually… actually spoke!”
Both of them were descendants of noble families and had seen a lot since they were young. There were very few things that they did not know and had never seen before.
However, they had never seen a talking beast before.
In fact, there were no records of such a thing in ancient records.
“If you call me a beast again, even Matthew won’t be able to protect you!”
After being called a beast time and time again, Athosen almost went crazy.
It was the last prince of the Darkin Race that was comparable to Gods, not a mutated beast!!
But Matthew was unwilling to let it reveal its origins.
Matthew had no idea why the Darkin Race was sealed.
But since it was sealed, they must have enemies.
The Darkin Race at its peak was comparable to Gods, yet they still ended up being sealed. To be able to seal such a colossal force, Matthew did not dare to imagine how powerful the enemy was.
Brenda and Edith nodded vigorously with tears in their eyes after being threatened by Athosen.
“Hmph!”
Athosen saw how sorry they looked and let it go.
Then, it turned its close to three meters tall body away from everyone, and maintained its arrogant image.
And Brenda and Edith, driven by curiosity, would glance at Athosen from time to time, because they had never seen a talking beast before. Uh, no, not a beast.
“You guys can go home. I want to continue traveling in the Maar Mountains.”
Matthew said to the sisters.
“Home?!” Brenda and Edith were shocked.
After this life and death crisis, their admiration for Matthew reached its peak.
Previously, they followed Matthew for fame and fortune, because the latter was a Dragon Knight who could stand at the peak in the future.
But now, their original intentions had changed. They only hoped to stay by Matthew’s side.
There was no other purpose, and the reason for staying became simple.
“We don’t want to go home.”
The sisters said in unison.
“You won’t be able to help me if you stay here now.”
Matthew coldly said, “You should go home and increase your strength. Once you’ve reached a certain level of strength, I’ll go find you.”
The two sisters were both scheming, so they naturally knew that what Matthew had said was only one-sided. Whether they would be able to meet again in the future was a question, let alone hope that Matthew would go to the human city to look for them.
So Brenda and Edith decided they wouldn’t leave no matter what Matthew said.
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely improve our strength in the shortest amount of time possible. Please don’t make us leave.” Brenda’s gentle voice sounded like she was pleading.
It was obvious how much they wanted to stay with Matthew.
Unfortunately, Matthew was a man who lived two lifetimes, and he was extremely determined, so he would almost never change his decision.
“If you’re not leaving, I’ll leave.”
As he spoke, Heber, who was on Matthew’s shoulder, transformed into a hundred-meter-tall giant.
In her haste, Edith came up with a brilliant idea.
Immediately, she took a step forward. “Matthew, you’ve been living in the Maar Mountains. Don’t you want to visit the human cities? There are many interesting and fun things there.”
She hoped to tempt Matthew with something he didn’t know.
As long as it could arouse Matthew’s interest, there was hope.
Brenda hadn’t talked with Matthew a lot.
But she learned some important information from her sister’s words.
Matthew had never been to a human city. There were many things he didn’t know.
She immediately reacted and continued, “In the human cities, there are many Beast Tamer Unions. You can accept missions there and receive huge rewards.”
Edith continued, “And you can become a real Beast Tamer and learn more secrets about Beast Tamers.”
“Become a true Beast Tamer!?”
The first part was okay, but Matthew thought it was so-so.
But Edith’s next words succeeded in drawing his attention.
He had read many books, but he was not familiar with the concept of Beast Tamer.
This was because when the books mentioned Beast Tamers, they would only say how powerful they were and not what they truly represented.
What Edith said made Matthew wonder if he could even be considered a Beast Tamer.
Brenda could see that Matthew was moved, and she was delighted.
She immediately added, “That’s right. Strictly speaking, we’re not considered true Beast Tamers now.”
“Then what is a true Beast Tamer?” Matthew couldn’t help but ask.
Brenda and Edith were even more delighted.
Matthew’s expression indicated that he was very likely to be persuaded by them.
“We’re not sure about that,” said Edith immediately. ‘But when we get to the human city, there’ll be experts there to explain.’
Matthew thought to himself, planning what he would do in the future.
Since the human cities involved information about the Beast Tamer, Matthew felt the need to make a trip.
He needed to understand the true meaning of Beast Tamer.
It might help him improve his strength as soon as possible.
