STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 58: Patrol track

Gordon, who had just arrived, saw Jeremy Night slaying the Tier-3 Corrupted Dog Beast. He was surprised. He thought that kid was weak and needed their protection. But the scene he had just witnessed overturned his cognition.

They say not to judge a book by its cover. He now understands it.

Jeremy Night turned around and returned to the small building. He didn’t bother to collect the Beast remains. He would explain to the Captain when he returned.

He thought they would find some clues upon seeing it.

After entering, he sat in the chair to relax. Then he saw that the middle-aged Captain had returned. He couldn’t help but wonder whether the person had already arrived or had just come.

"What’s your name again?" Gordon asked as he walked inside the room.

"My name is Jeremy Night," Jeremy replied.

He could tell that the gaze of Captain Gordon was different from before. He thought that he had seen his fight against the Tier-3 Corrupted Beast.

Gordon smiled and said, "I have underestimated you. I saw your fight just now. At your current level, you can fight across ranks. It shows that your talent grade is high."

"I won’t be asking further details. You have shown your strength. Now, I’m going to assign you a task. There is a report of corrupted beasts appearing near the city walls."

"The Tier-3 Corrupted Dog Beast that you killed is part of a group. I’ll send you the route; you just have to patrol less than half a mile," he added.

"Okay," Jeremy replied. He was excited to do the work. He didn’t want to spend the rest of the day in this small outer post building.

Gordon nodded before saying, "I’ll call you when the other members are done with their work. Then you can return. The mission is for one week. You can stay and practice here in this building. It has additional small rooms."

Jeremy nodded to him. Then Captain Gordon gave him the map route he would have to patrol from now on.

After getting the map route, Jeremy left. He started following the route. He had officially started the patrol routine. But the route given by Captain Gordon was different.

Before coming here, he thought he would be circling around the City Wall to monitor along with others. But this time, the route led into the wilderness.

Jeremy thought there must be another hidden post in the wilderness. It must be the primary lookout post. Since he came from the City Governor Family, he knew certain things.

Even back at home, the City officials proposed the same thing as well. But due to a lack of manpower who are beast tamers, some plans had to be forfeited.

On the other hand, Captain Gordon resumed his work. He had given a task to the university kid. The task was not dangerous. There were people in the primary lookout post.

They were the first line of defense. If any corrupted beasts appeared, they were the ones who usually alerted the surrounding patrol teams.

So it’s difficult for any corrupted beasts to get past them and reach here. But there are exceptions sometimes, like the news that had been received just now.

A group of Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts had crossed several lookout posts around City A. Now the patrol teams were fighting against them.

About 10 minutes later,

Jeremy Night was walking alone on the sandy path. Apart from him, there was no one here. He started to think about the mission.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Captain Gordon had told him about the attack of corrupted beasts. He had slain one of them. He suspected others must be facing the beasts as well.

Jeremy’s eyes flashed with worry. Before coming here, he thought the mission was going to be normal. But the sudden appearance of the Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts had changed everything.

Just as Jeremy was contemplating while walking, his senses warned him of danger again. He stopped moving and started looking around the surroundings.

Rustle!

He could hear movements behind the bushes. The movements sounded so close to him.

Jeremy took out the katana blade and held it in his right hand. He was not going to use starlight energy right away. He decided to save it. Unless there was a dire situation, he wouldn’t use it to kill the beast.

Swoosh!

Two Tier-2 Corrupted Dog Beasts leaped out of the bushes and charged towards him at high speed.

Slice!

Jeremy moved to attack. His katana sliced through the air in a perfect arc.

Pfff!

The blade penetrated the first beast and cut through its body. Blood splattered on the ground.

Jeremy then drew the sword again to attack the second corrupted beast, his katana blade striking in rapid succession.

After several thrusts and slashes, the two corrupted beasts died in the end.

Jeremy sighed in relief. He didn’t have to use starlight energy because these two corrupted beasts were just Tier-2 corrupted beasts.

After glancing at the corpses, he turned around to leave. On the way, he didn’t find any other corrupted beasts. But

Jeremy remained vigilant.

Not long after, he came across another one. But this time it was a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast. Jeremy’s eyes flashed with surprise. He didn’t know why these corrupted beasts were appearing alone.

Swoosh!

The beast rushed forward towards him.

Jeremy observed the beast’s movements to deal a blow at the appropriate time. The Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts were stronger than the others. He couldn’t afford to be relaxed.

When the Tier-3 Corrupted Beast got closer to him.

Cut!

His katana blade danced in the air. It came downwards, striking the beast’s head.

Clang!

A metallic collision sounded as the beast blocked the blade with its sharp metallic nails.

Jeremy’s eyes flickered. He retreated backwards before getting into position to attack. This time, when the beast reached him,

He sidestepped to avoid the frontal attack and targeted the beast’s side. His katana blade sliced through the air in an arc. The blade made contact with the skin. It penetrated a little, but it quickly met with resistance.

Seeing that, Jeremy quickly withdrew from the position. He suddenly spotted the drawback of not using the starlight energy to strike.
