8.85% The Strongest Beast Tamer / Chapter 17: Interruptions

Chương 17: Interruptions

"So our next stop will be Coober Pedy, get comfy, it'll be a really long trip, especially since we'll have to take it slow even on the straight roads," Chloe said as she looked towards the mess in front of her. just like before, the corpses of beasts are scattered across the road.

Everyone nodded before getting out a few things, they took some pillows and blankets from Marla Traveller's Rest, of course with Dylan's permission. they made sure to get real comfortable, at least that way the trip would be slightly more enjoyable.

However, the trip was still as gruesome and boring as they expected. The beast corpses have probably had a day or two since they died, causing the stench to be unbearable, not to mention the scene it caused. Half ate corpses, some torn to bits and others with little bite marks.

No matter how much of it they see it's still disturbing.

Grabbing the phone Adam quickly checked how long it had been. Looking at the time he noticed it's been 2 – 3 hours and looking at the maps they were only halfway there. He laid his head back and closed his eyes, maybe he could take a nap and when he wakes up they're there.

*Flap*Flap*Caw*

They all jumped from their seats and stared through the window. Looking outside the window everyone could see a massive bird flying above them, one they hadn't seen before, one that looked dangerous. It was mainly blue, with the tips of the feathers coloured white. They couldn't see exactly how large the bird was, unsure how far it from them.

The bird spotted them before they could prepare their beasts the bird pierced through the air, breaking the sound barrier in an instant and appearing before them in an instant. Taking a closer look the bird appeared to have the wingspan of 10 metres, while its body was roughly 2 metres wide. From the beak to tail feathers was about 5 metres, it had large razor-sharp black talons.

Putting its talons first the bird ripped into the roof of the car, it quickly sounded as if someone had scratched their nails on a blackboard, giving everyone a quick shiver. The birds light brownish talons were in front of them.

"Summon Fa- "

"Stop!" Before Dylan could summon his beast, Alfredo had already stopped him from finishing his incantation.

Dylan looked a bit annoyed and frustrated at being stopped, but before he could complain Alfredo explained his actions, "You could have almost killed us Dylan! Look out your window".

Everyone looked outside and reeled back, they had realised they were probably 30 – 40 metres in the air and the height was still rising. Seeing that everyone realised what's happening Alfredo continued explaining, "We aren't sure exactly how the bird will react to being attacked. Will it drop us? Causing us to plummet to our deaths. Or will it slowly descend as the poison slowly kills it? Not sure and I don't want to take any risk, so, be patient and we'll deal with it when it does put us back down".

Although no one wanted to get carried away, there wasn't much else they could do. They all laid back and tried to calm their nerves, but that was difficult as they saw the road fading into the distance. Where ever the bird was taking them, it was far away.

Looking at the massive bird outside Lachlan quickly analysed it.

--------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the level Lachlan quickly realised it wasn't as high as he thought. But, while its level wasn't extremely high its natural stats were incredibly high, especially since it didn't have a master, well at least that's what they think.

But there was something else that attracted his attention and that was the lightning control. Lightning was a rather destructive element, but the fact that is was dormant was what really intrigued him.

Since the eagle was an adult then the only stage left would be elder. But that seemed a little long before getting an element to control, of course, when something learnt to control an element wasn't up to Lachlan to decide so it very well could gain the ability to control lightning once it reached elder age.

Thinking that it doesn't have a master Lachlan touched the talon and tried taming it, "You want to join me, travelling the world and fighting against the strong?"

Seeing what Lachlan was doing caused Alfredo's and Jack's expression to turn sour. Jack reached out to take Lachlan's hands away from the talon, "Lachlan, wait!" Alfredo shouted.

There was nothing, Lachlan was surrounded by complete darkness, nothing in sight, no sound, no smells, and nothing to grab a hold of. Though, he couldn't feel what was happening to his body. Was he falling? Or was he going up? Either way, Lachlan wasn't sure how long he would be here for.

He remembered what happened last time such a situation happened, during the evolution.

He quickly got scared and thought his eyes were about to evolve again, he curled up into a ball and grabbed onto his head. After a few seconds, Lachlan realised nothing happened, so he uncurled his body and looked around.

*Caw*

Looking behind him Lachlan realised it was the massive bird, except up close. Lachlan looked minuscule compared to the massive bird. Surrounding the bird was what seemed to be a blue aura, completely enveloping it. The bird's eyes were white as it stared at him, or in Lachlan's perspective, as it stared through him.

Looking at the human in front of it the Eagle began to size him up, see if he was qualified to tame it. Looking at him and how weak he was the bird decided it wouldn't be worth it. The eagle spread its wings and flapped hard.

*Screech*

The bird quickly gave off an ear-piercing screech which only Lachlan could hear, causing him to feel sick. It was almost like the bird just attacked his soul, which very well could be what it just did.

*Flap*Flap*

The bird began flapping its wings at an extremely fast speed, causing Lachlan to be flung out of where ever he was.

Lachlan jumped forwards like he was just in one of those dreams where you fall and just before you hit the ground you wake up. Lachlan didn't notice it but his breathing was rather heavy and his back was drenched in sweat.

Looking around him Lachlan noticed everyone staring at him, it seemed the bird was grabbing hold of the car, and Lachlan hasn't experienced any pain yet. Inspecting his body Lachlan couldn't see any tattoos, which probably meant he didn't succeed.

Sarah, who was in Lachlan's arms was now in Jack's. It seems he knew what might happen and made sure Sarah didn't get hurt. Lachlan was glad that nothing bad happened.

Alfredo looked a bit apologetic before he began explaining to Lachlan what he experienced, "What you just experienced is something everyone here with a tamed beast has experienced. However, from what I've seen it seems that you have to have a friendly connection to tame a beast. Franklin was my pet, Rocky was Jack's pet, and Shadow sees Adam as its parent".

"What about Dylan's Fast and Slow?" Lachlan Asked.

"Fast and Slow were my two pet snakes before this whole incident," Dylan explained. He had got the two snakes when they were rather young, so maybe they see Dylan as their parent. No one questioned it as everyone had their hobbies.

"Okay, as shown, everyone has something that connects them to their tamed beast, so I would suggest you don't suddenly try and tame something you have no connection with," Alfredo said. He wasn't sure what the consequences could be and he'd rather not find out yet.

"Okay," Lachlan said while nodding. He laid back down and he felt rather exhausted both physically and mentally.

They continued their journey in the air for half an hour before the bird began to descend. Looking down and out the window, they could see a cluster of large trees, with a nest, created using five of those trees to support it.

The nest seemed to be made of tree branches, whole tree saplings, and large bushes. It seemed to be about 50 metres long and wide. Certainly the nest of such a large bird, which likely meant the bird's babies would be just as large.

*Flap*Flap*

It started to slow down its descent, reaching the nest before it dropped them off, only half a metre above the ground so nothing got damaged and no one was hurt. It dropped us near the tree supporting the centre of the nest.

Looking inside they could see that the tree was partially hollowed out, with a few eggs laid there.

*Crunch*

Looking in front of them the bird had landed on a few tree branches, snapping them in half with its weight. The bird was now staring at them with its large beady eyes, it seemed to be looking down on them as if it just caught a delicious snack.

*Screech*


Chương 18: Fight

The ear-piercing screech again, this time everyone heard it. It certainly wasn't a normal bird screech, but rather it sounded as if it was created by a million volts of lightning crackling. Their ears almost burst at the sound.

They knew they had to end it fast, at least that way they could begin to think of a plan to make it back to the road and continue their journey.

"Summon Franklin"

"Summon Rocky"

"Summon Fast and Slow"

"Summon Shadow"

All four beast tamers shouted, a bright light of different colours was emitted, temporarily blinding the bird. Once the light dispersed the bird had got its sight back but its eyes were still in pain. It was now staring daggers at them, it looked really mad like it would tear them in two kind of mad.

Chloe was still in the car and so was Lachlan who had Sarah in his arms. Sarah began to cry because of the loud screech, it hurt her ears.

"It's alright Sarah, calm down," Lachlan hurriedly said to her while he brought he head closer to him. He placed his hands over her ears to try and reduce the noise for her. Chloe helped by wiping the tears from Sarahs face then placing her own hands above Sarah's ears.

Outside Dylan was the first to list out commands, "Fast strike its neck, Slow constrict its neck".

"Shadow web its eyes while it's temporarily blinded!" This time Adam got his beast to support everyone else, he knew that eyesight was one of the bird's strong points, get rid of that and it would cause some trouble for it.

"Franklin! Bite its throat!" Alfredo shouted. They needed to finish this quickly so going for the vital points was needed and the neck was the best one to go for when it came to birds.

"Rocky drag its head down with your tongue!" Jack commanded. His command was used to support both the snakes and Franklin.

It wasn't much of a fair fight. Fast had already struck the birds neck, as such, it was probably going to die anyway, but this array of attacks should speed up the process. It was also never fair in the first place, it was a four v one, not something you look for when it's survival of the fittest.

While Slow was slowly constricting the bird's neck, trying to suffocate it, Rocky had shot out its tongue, sticking onto the bird's beak before dragging it down. This made it easier for Franklin to jump up and bite the bird's neck, putting it one foot into its grave.

The blood squirted from the bottom of its neck where Franklin bit, while its head looked like it was about to explode due to Slow constricting the blood flow.

Shadow quickly webbed its eyelids shut before jumping up and biting it around the neck. Slow was crushing the bird's windpipe bit by bit, Franklin was constantly jumping up and ripping at its throat and not long after the bird slow tumbled down.

*Crunch*

The bird crushed a few branches beneath it as its dead corpse landed, its eyes rolled back and its beak wide open with a tongue hanging out. The tamed beasts quickly returned to their owners once they got confirmation of the beast's death.

Lachlan tried analysing it but got nothing, confirming its death. Walking over to the middle tree with Sarah in Lachlan's arms they noticed a few eggs, all of which had been untouched. They had blue and brown markings on it, Lachlan's wasn't sure if it was trying to make a pattern or not.

*Screech*

Shocked by the sudden and much louder screech everyone froze before they quickly snapped back and inspected their surroundings. Looking up they noticed another bird, much larger and seemed stronger.

As the bird slowly descended to the ground Lachlan and his family realised they had seen it before, at Alice Springs, it was a Roc. But this Roc seemed to give off pressure, a bloodlust that was directed at them.

It was obvious to them what this Roc was doing here. It seemed as though the Roc and Eagle were able to breed, which meant they just killed its partner, garnering all its anger.

--------------------------------------------------------

It was much stronger than the blue lightning eagle, which wasn't that good for them considering they had to fight it. Lachlan and Chloe were worried about them, fighting such a strong beast was dangerous.

The fighters, on the other hand, felt the adrenaline, a type of adrenaline they've never felt before. Even for Alfredo, he's experienced plenty of fights yet he had yet to feel this excited. It was almost as if the fight was calling for them.

It also looked slightly different. Its body was much darker, it was definitely much larger, having a wingspan of roughly 10 - 12 metres long. Its body blocked the sunlight as it descended, making it look holy, except for them it was as if the devil was coming closer as the sheer pressure and bloodlust they felt from it was too much.

However, luckily for them, they should be able to beat it should everyone cooperate properly. They were planning on doing what they did to the eagle, it was the most effective way to fight.

Getting into battle stance everyone was prepared, Lachlan, Chloe, and Sarah had already hidden within the hollowed-out tree. Probably the safest place, next to the bird's eggs.

Lachlan tried to cover Sarah's ears, hoping to block out the noise. Chloe also helped by trying to distract Sarah from the fight, making the child instead be distracted by the eggs. She reached out her arms to touch the eggs.

*Screech*

The Roc had begun its quick descent straight towards Franklin and Alfredo first. However, just as it was about to strike Franklin, Alfredo had unsummoned it causing the Roc to crash into the nest. Shaking the entire thing causing everyone to lose balance.

By the eggs, Lachlan had grabbed onto some loose branches by the side with his right hand, with Sarah in his left arm. Chloe lost her balance but quickly regained it and continued watching the fight, concern seen in her eyes.

They quickly stood up and begun their attacks. Following what they did before Dylan quickly got Fast to strike the Roc's neck, then got Slow to constrict its neck, slowly causing it to suffocate.

Shadow had already webbed the Roc's eyes shut, while Rocky already had attached its head to its tongue, slowly dragging its head down. However, it slightly struggled, it was only due to it being weakened due to the point and suffocation that it gave up resisting.

Franklin started its array of attacks again, tearing up the Roc's throat. The Roc finally couldn't handle it anymore and fell. On its final breath, it tried one last attack with its wings which ended up missing, causing it to lose all strength and all life in its body.

Looking at the scene made everyone feel slightly bad, after all, they were just trying to feed themselves. However, everyone has to slowly let go of these feelings and learn to survive.

Lachlan turned around to study the eggs again, Lachlan felt somewhat connected to these eggs, as if they were his possession, it was a slight tugging feeling, one that seemed to tug his soul closer.

He quickly gave Sarah for his mother to hold on to as he went to go inspect the eggs closer.

Walking up to them Lachlan tried to touch one but received no reaction. The egg was rather smooth, with a couple of rough spots here and there.

Seeing that, he looked towards Adam and asked him a question, "How'd you get the spider to hatch so quickly?"

"I don't know," Adam replied, he wasn't sure how he did it. All he knew was that once he grabbed the egg it began to hatch.

"I feel like I have an idea, but it won't be a painless," Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and realised Alfredo said it. He had his hand against his chin in a thinking pose.

"Well come on, do tell," Chloe said hurriedly, she was still worried that the Roc won't be the last enemy they have to fight here.

Noticing he got everyone's attention Alfredo continued, "I believe you have to offer it some of your blood it'll hatch. When Adam got the egg to hatch it was because the egg itself made him bleed all over it".

They all remembered the scene. Adam's arms were covered in his blood, tiny little cuts covered his arms, they were still there just slightly faded.

Lachlan nodded but hesitated, he doesn't like pain, and he doesn't know how much blood will be enough.

Adam went up to reassure him, Alfredo gave Lachlan a small pocket knife then gave him an instruction, "Just try poking your fingertip and using only one drop of blood, see if that'll be enough".

Lachlan nodded then followed the instruction. Poking a little mark on his finger made Chloe fidgety, but she's realised that strength is everything now.

*Drip*

Lachlan had already pushed out a drop of blood, causing it to fall on one of the three eggs.

*Crack*Crack*Crack*

Slowly the egg started to crack, getting more and more shattered before pieces began to fall off. A bold bird head popped out of the shell, staring at Lachlan with curious eyes.

*Chip*Chip*

In front of Lachlan stood a bird, it looked similar to both the Roc and Lightning Eagle. It seemed to be 2 metres tall already and maybe had the wingspan of 4 – 5 metres. From the beak to tail feathers was roughly 2 – 3 metres. It didn't have any feathers yet, so it didn't exactly look pretty.

It quickly waddled over to Lachlan before laying down its head on his lap, it happily enjoyed the warmth that Lachlan's body emitted. Taking this opportunity Lachlan checked its stats.
