STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 169: Tier -3 Gray Rat Beast

Dilapidated Area:

Jeremy collected his thoughts. If there is a Tier-3 Beast behind it, then he should address the problem.

"Let's clear out the place," Jeremy said.

"But our mission target was to kill only Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts," Daniel asked.

Jeremy shook his head before saying, "If there is a Tier-3 Beast behind it, then it's a threat to the city. We should kill it."

"I agree," Betsy Lowe said.

Daniel Stone understood the danger as well, so he agreed as well.

Then we opened the drainage cover to enter inside. I wanted to know what was so great about the Gray Rat Beast. After going downwards, we touched down on the ground.

Shortly afterward,

Squeaks!

The Rat Beast's sound came.

"Ready for the fight," Jeremy uttered.

He took out his katana. Betsy Lowe and Daniel Stone summoned their lifeline beasts.

A black queen bee and a Wild Crocodile lifeline beast appeared beside them. Seeing that, Jeremy nodded his head.

He thought with the lifeline beasts' assistance they could be safe.

Squeaks!

Jeremy then saw 3 to 4 ft size Tier-2 Rat Beasts sprinting towards them. Not one by one; there were many in number.

"If you can't handle it, leave the place first," Jeremy said to them.

They both nodded their heads with solemn expressions. They were going to fight against this many Tier-2 Beasts after the Beast Invasion.

Swoosh!

Jeremy found they were encountering the rat beasts from both sides. When the Rat Beast neared him, he made a casual swing, cleaving the Beast's body into two parts.

Pfff!

Blood splattered on the ground.

Daniel and Betsy began their attack as well. Betsy used her sharp nails to poke a hole in the Gray Rat Beast's head.

Her Queen Bee was using the stinger to kill the Rat Beasts.

Daniel was not showing any sign of weakness. He urged his lifeline beast to crush them.

The Wild Crocodile easily killed the Tier-2 Rat Beasts despite being at Tier-1.

Both lifeline beasts had abilities that helped them kill Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts.

As time passed, more beasts came from the tunnel. But so far, no Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts had made an appearance.

From time to time, Jeremy turned around to check on them. They had been doing well. But if more beasts came, they might be exhausted completely.

"Daniel!"

"Betsy!"

"Take back your lifeline beasts and leave," Jeremy shouted.

They had been fighting for more than an hour. At least 100 Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts had been killed by them.

"Okay," Daniel replied before taking back his lifeline beast.

Then he started to collect the corpses of the 10 Tier-2 Rat Beasts.

Betsy supported him until he collected the 10 corpses. After doing that, Betsy took back her lifeline beast.

A few minutes later,

Both of them returned to the top. But their appearance was disheveled. Blood and the smell of Rat Beasts came from them.

"Ewww!"

"I must return to the university," Betsy Lowe said in a solemn tone.

"Yeah, it's bad," Daniel said with a bitter smile.

Their goal was to kill 10 Tier-2 Beasts, but they had done more than that. He didn't feel bad; they had helped reduce the risk posed by these Rat Beasts.

"What do you think he is doing?" Betsy asked.

"I guess he won't be returning unless he finds and kills the Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts," Daniel said with a bitter smile.

They had just exhausted themselves after fighting against this many Tier-2 Beasts, whereas Jeremy Night was still going.

"You guys can return to the university. I'll come back later."

They heard Jeremy's voice from the underground tunnel.

Betsy and Daniel exchanged looks. Seeing that Jeremy was serious, they decided to leave because the place was still within the city.

They didn't think high-tier beasts lived there.

"Okay, we are going. If you need help, call us," Betsy said.

Then they both left the place. They couldn't wait to get rid of this nauseating smell.

An hour later,

Inside the tunnel, Jeremy was busy dealing with beasts. But he was yet to wipe them out completely.

"What's going on?"

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"They are coming out endlessly," Jeremy frowned.

He suspected things were not ordinary. They were just Gray Kind. There was also one more group living in another tunnel.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Earlier, he had suspected a Tier-3 Rat Beast behind it. Now he thought there was more danger ahead.

Squeak!

This time a loud sound disturbed him. When he turned around, he saw a 10 ft size Gray Rat Beast appear.

"Tier-3," Jeremy uttered in a solemn tone.

The next second, he started to circulate the starlight energy. In the blink of an eye, the katana blade was filled with starlight energy.

Swoosh!

The Tier-3 Gray Rat Beast disappeared from the spot. The next second, it was moving towards the enemy at fast speed.

Slice!

The sword in Jeremy's hand danced before striking the incoming beast.

Puchak!

The blade cut through the beast's body, leaving behind a precise cut.

The next second, blood started gushing out from the injury. The Tier-3 Rat felt threatened. Before it could escape, Jeremy cut down a few more times, completely killing the beast.

Squeak!

The death of the Tier-3 Rat Beast caused the Tier-2 Rat Beasts to escape. They fled back into the deepest part of the tunnel.

Jeremy sighed in relief. He was worried that the Tier-3 Beast wouldn't show up. Now that he had killed one, he didn't think there would be any danger hereafter.

Then he collected the corpse before coming back to the surface. He then closed the drainage cover before leaving the place.

Jeremy decided to return to the university because of the nauseating smell. The smell of the Rat Beasts was so bad, he couldn't wait to take a bath.

A few minutes later,

Jeremy tried to board the air taxi. But none of them allowed him in because of the smell. Having no choice, he entered the nearest hotel to clean himself.
