Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

When the eye on his forehead fully opened, a massive ethereal eye appeared behind Charles. The light that had been shining brightly behind him suddenly dimmed, and the entire area plunged into darkness, as if all the light had been consumed, leaving only that gigantic eye. It snapped open!

The black pupil, like a black hole, sucked in Kairos’s vision entirely. A chilling coldness spread through his bones, flesh, and nerves, as if he had suddenly been placed on the coldest iceberg in the world.

The indifferent and emotionless gaze, as if looking at an ant, radiated from the enormous eye’s phantom. At that moment, the world seemed to fall completely silent.

In front of Kairos, the giant Lightsaber that he had desperately conjured began to shake uncontrollably. This was because Kairos was on the verge of losing control over the massive weapon.

Charles, observing the stunned Kairos, felt a sense of surprise. Though he had anticipated the power of [The Eye of the Demon God], the actual might of it far surpassed Charles’s expectations.

He knew well that someone who could become a Level Six Beast Master at the age of nineteen was no ordinary person. At the very least, their mentality and willpower would be far stronger than that of an average Beast Master.

Even with this in mind, Charles had still underestimated the terrifying intimidation power of [The Eye of the Demon God].

"Could it be because of the [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery] state?" Charles wondered in his mind. He wasn’t sure what the cause was, but now was not the time to dwell on it.

In the next moment, Charles raised the [black gold long knife], which contained the energy of five different attributes, and with all his strength, slashed downward. A powerful [black gold knife glow], moving with unparalleled speed, flew toward the massive Lightsaber in front of Kairos.

"Lightning Demon Ape!" The explosive sound of a powerful impact rang out, and the surrounding earth trembled. The shockwave sent Kairos’s body flying backward, crashing through an entire wall before he fell from the air.

But that wasn’t the end. Charles, in his current state, was still in good form. Though he had used up some stamina and attribute energy during the battle and felt slightly dizzy from using [The Eye of the Demon God] while in the [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery] state, it didn’t hinder his next actions. Without a moment’s pause, Charles, holding the [black gold long knife], was already standing in front of Kairos.

At that moment, Kairos had just spat out a large mouthful of blood and was staring in a dazed stupor at the tip of the [black gold long knife] before him.

"Stop! The battle is over!" Seraphina finally snapped out of her shock. She shouted loudly, her mind still reeling from the immense ethereal eye just moments ago. Only now did she realize that Charles had already closed the distance and stood in front of Kairos, holding his long knife.

"No, it’s not over! I haven’t lost! I haven’t lost!" As if unable to accept what was happening before his eyes, Kairos let out an angry roar and struggled to rise to his feet. At the same time, the light surrounding him began to flicker, growing unstable.

Then, those lights twisted and melted into an unusually pure white, quickly attaching themselves to the surface of Kairos’s body.

Charles frowned but showed no hesitation. He immediately raised the [black gold long knife] in his hand and swung it toward Kairos’s chest.

In the next moment, Seraphina, who had been standing at the doorway just moments ago, suddenly appeared in front of Kairos. She spread her arms wide, attempting to block Charles’s attack, while shouting loudly, "Stop! It’s over! It’s over! He’s lost!"

"No! I still have one last trump card! I haven’t..." Kairos’s words were cut short as Seraphina swiftly turned around and kicked him. The Kairos, who had barely managed to get back on his feet, was sent crashing back to the ground.

"’Haven’t lost’? You’re fighting a mere Level Four Beast Master, and you’re a Level Six Beast Master! So what if you have a trump card? Not only did he survive your attacks, but he also held back at the end. If he’d chosen to attack you directly instead of targeting your Lightsaber, you’d be dead already!" Seraphina shouted.

Upon hearing this, Kairos seemed to deflate. The unwillingness in his eyes quietly faded, leaving them dull and devoid of emotion.

Back at [Suspended Mountain], he had been revered as a genius Beast Master.

Even the Beast Master prodigies from [Haunted Marsh Central City] hadn’t made him feel inferior. Except for those with truly absurd natural talents or those mentored by exceedingly powerful Beast Master teachers, Kairos didn’t think much of anyone else.

Who would have thought, that after just leaving [Haunted Marsh] and arriving at the City of Harmony, he would encounter a young man in his twenties, a Level Four Beast Master, with abnormal physical strength, self created combat techniques, [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery], and that unknown yet terrifying eye that had instinctively filled him with fear, forcing him to face reality.

"I’m sorry. This battle, I lost," Kairos said slowly, his voice resigned. "Elowen, you’re stronger than I am."

"However, I still have one last move. I can only use it in the face of a life or death crisis. So, you haven’t defeated the full extent of my power." Kairos continued, as if saying this would make him feel a bit better.

Charles remained expressionless. He straightened up, looking down at Kairos. Then, he turned his gaze to the still stunned Soren, who stood frozen like a stone, and spoke:

"Next time, I hope you learn to respect others, not threaten them."

With that, Charles began walking toward the door, intending to leave. The commotion from earlier had certainly attracted attention, and staying any longer would likely lead to trouble.

Just then, Seraphina quickly called out to Charles’s retreating figure, asking, "Was that eye that appeared at the end your skill? Can you tell me, what kind of skill was that?"

Charles’s steps paused briefly, and then he continued walking toward Soren. His voice floated back lightly as he replied, "No comment."

With that, Charles quickly led Soren and Orion away from the area.

It wasn’t until Charles’s figure had completely disappeared that Kairos continued to stare intently in the direction he had gone, his thoughts unknown.

About a minute later, the law enforcement officers from the City of Harmony arrived and surrounded the area.

In the face of this, Kairos casually pulled a token from his chest, on which was carved an image of a floating mountain peak.

"[Suspended Mountain] is conducting business here. There’s nothing extraordinary going on. Disperse."

After saying this, Kairos paused for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at the City of Harmony law enforcement officers around him, then slightly adjusted his tone and added, "In a few days, someone will explain everything to you. Please be patient and understand for now."

Seraphina quietly glanced back at Kairos. She seemed to want to say something but ended up keeping her mouth shut.

Once the two of them had left the area, some of the City of Harmony law enforcement officers, who had never heard of [Suspended Mountain], looked curiously toward the most senior member of the group and asked, "What’s the deal with [Suspended Mountain]? Are we just letting them go?"

Someone answered, "It’s fine. No lives were lost, and there doesn’t seem to be any serious injuries. Just pretend nothing happened. [Suspended Mountain] is not a group we can afford to mess with."

"True, but we should still report this to the city lord, let him prepare, and not treat these two lightly."

"No, no. What is [Suspended Mountain]? I just want to know more about them!" The person who had originally asked was getting frustrated.

A kind hearted person decided to answer, saying, "The Kingdom of Mystical Realm is the holy land of alchemists, located closest to us, and [Suspended Mountain] is one of the most powerful forces in the Kingdom of Mystical Realm. But they rarely leave their mountain. We don’t know what brought them here this time."

"No matter what it is, it’s not something we ordinary Beast Masters can get involved with."

"Yeah, but I do want to know who the genius was that made that guy from [Suspended Mountain] look so badly hurt."

"Who else could it be? It’s definitely one of the real geniuses from [Haunted Marsh]. The so called geniuses from the Abyssal Depths are nothing in comparison to those people."

Sigh...

Kairos and Seraphina walked slowly along the road, both of them silent. Seraphina’s mind was occupied with the crack on Charles’s forehead and the eye that had appeared from within it.

Meanwhile, Kairos was constantly replaying all the details of his battle with Charles, reflecting and analyzing his mistakes.

"Didn’t expect to encounter such a genius as soon as we arrived in City of Harmony. He must be from [Haunted Marsh], just like us," Kairos muttered to himself.

Seraphina slowly lifted her gaze to look at him, but said nothing.

It was Kairos who began speaking nonstop, as if seeking validation for his thoughts.

"Although he’s a genius, he’s too old. By the time I reach his age, I’ll definitely be a Level Seven Beast Master!"

"It’s a shame. If it weren’t for his age advantage, I would have easily defeated him this time. I wouldn’t have given him any chance."

"Don’t you think so?"

"Actually, I’m not that bad. Talents like him are rare extremely rare. Give me a bit more time, and without using any trump cards, I could easily defeat him!"

Finally, Seraphina, who had been disturbed by Kairos’s incessant talking, spoke up.

She said slowly, "Stop thinking about it. Honestly, I think it was a good thing that he defeated you. At least now, you’ve learned some manners."
