Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

The filthy, dirty rat approached baby Charles and carefully sniffed his body.

The scent of fresh blood and flesh made the rat unable to resist standing up.

It opened its mouth and took a bite. The intense pain caused the baby to writhe, which resulted in the flesh the rat had bitten tearing apart. Blood immediately flowed from the baby, filling the sewer with a metallic scent.

The air began to stir with agitation, and more and more rats gathered around the baby. They opened their mouths and started to gnaw at the baby's body, piece by piece.

Helpless, in pain, and lost, the cries of the baby echoed in the darkness.

A child who had just arrived in this world did not see the sun or humanity for the first time. Instead, he found himself in the dirtiest of sewers, being gnawed on by countless rats.

Finally, when the horde of rats left, all that remained were small, white bones.

Immense despair and pain continuously swept over Charles's heart. Yet at that moment, Charles felt remarkably alert, he remembered exactly what he needed to do.

When Charles opened his eyes once more, he found himself back in reality.

In Flower Falls Gorge, the Beast Master and the tourists, along with the flying mystical beasts beneath their feet, were all immersed in various illusions.

The Beast Master on the ground, along with the tourists, cried out helplessly and painfully. Thin strands of black gas rose straight up from the ground into the air, completely unaffected by the raging winds and torrential rain, and flowed into the creature's grayish-white eye.

Soon, the monster, which had originally only one eye, began to grow larger, sprouting flesh and a mouth.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, you really are something." the monster said, its voice no longer harsh but strangely calm, as it slowly approached Charles.

Charles took a deep breath and pulled out the black gold long knife. He didn't anticipate that this monster had the ability to create illusions that could engulf everyone and absorb some kind of energy from their bodies.

Thinking this, Charles instinctively examined his own body and found that he was not surrounded by that black gas.

"You don't need to look, you are different from them. I'm curious about the power you have and where it comes from."

"If you tell me the truth, I won't have to kill you. You can leave alive." the monster said slowly.

Charles raised the object in his hand, ready to speak, but was interrupted by the monster, which said, "Alright, I'm not an idiot."

Charles chose not to respond. The object in his hand was just a rare item he had found and dyed white.

The reason for this was that Charles was thinking long term. After this incident was resolved, there would certainly be curiosity about how he accomplished it.

Very few people knew about the unknown thing inside him, and Charles didn't want to expose this secret. If it became known that everything relied on the power of the unknown within him, he might attract the attention of powerful Beast Masters, especially organizations like Constellation.

Thus, he would fabricate the story that everything was due to the object in his hand, and according to his plan, he would destroy the object in front of everyone just as everything was about to conclude.

If others discovered that his mysterious object was a treasure that could counter the strange entities in Flower Falls Gorge and could only be used once before breaking.

Then even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn't uncover anything.

Thinking of this, Charles looked at the monster not far away, which was rapidly growing larger, and slowly said, "What a coincidence, that's a line I want to give to you."

"What?" The monster clearly froze for a moment, then realized something and tried to retreat quickly, but it was already too late!

At the moment Charles spoke, he had already infused the attribute energy from within him into the black gold long knife. Seeing the monster's attempt to escape, a mocking smile appeared on Charles's lips as he said:

"What a coincidence, I'm not an idiot either. You think you can intimidate me when you're at your weakest? You must think I'm pretty stupid."

The monster halted its movement, looked at Charles, and forced itself to take a step forward, its mouth slowly opening as it said, "I'm just surprised at how quickly you woke up. Most people would be overwhelmed by such pain and despair, unable to leave in a short time, but you're quite different."

"However, if you really plan to challenge me recklessly, you can give it a shot."

The mockery on Charles's face intensified as he observed the monster's body, which was now vastly different from when it first appeared!

Especially after the monster used its ability to create illusions for everyone, it had been reduced to just one eye.

"Despair and pain? I've been completely awake all along." Charles said slowly. Then, the black gold long knife in his hand emitted a blinding black light. The four attribute energies of the black gold knife glow, with unparalleled speed and power, slashed straight toward the monster in the sky!

"You, you actually dare to strike!" The monster shouted in panic, desperately trying to evade Charles's attack.

However, due to the incredible speed of the black gold knife glow, even as it tried its best to dodge, it was still sliced in half!

"Getting cut in half and still not dead? Looks like I need to do this a few more times." Charles said, surprised as he watched the monster trying to reassemble its two halves.

After hearing Charles's words, the monster froze for a moment, incredulously saying, "A few more times? Wasn't that attack just now your last resort? You can still cast it again?"

Charles didn't respond but instead proved it through action, injecting the four attribute energies into the black gold long knife once more.

The monster, whose body was healing in the sky, trembled at the sight and hurriedly said:

"Wait a moment, I admit I underestimated you just now, but do you really intend to strike at me again? Killing me will attract the attention of great beings, and you may not understand what consequences that will bring."

Charles did not pause and continued to inject attribute energy into the black gold long knife, responding:

"I don't need to know. After I kill you, everyone's illusions will disappear. Oh, and I forgot to mention, that so-called great being you speak of has probably wanted to keep an eye on me for a long time."

After saying this, Charles unleashed the black gold knife glow, slicing the monster's healing body in half once more.

But it wasn't over yet. Now severely injured, the monster's defensive capabilities had greatly diminished. That previous attack with the four attribute energies had already been somewhat wasted. After two or three breaths, the black gold long knife in Charles's hand lit up again, and three attribute energies of the black gold knife glow continued to slash at the remaining parts of the monster's body!

"Wait, I—"

"That's not an illusion, that's reality…"

"Damn it, can't you pause for a moment and let me finish a sentence…"

Charles showed no signs of stopping. He wasn't sure if the monster still had hidden abilities, and if he hesitated and something unexpected happened, it would be too late for regrets!

Ultimately, under Charles's relentless attacks, the monster's body was sliced into countless fragments, the largest of which was only the size of a baseball.

Even so, the monster's mouth continued to open, saying, "You will regret this. This so-called saving everyone is merely temporary, you…"

This time, Charles did not give the monster a chance to continue speaking. His internal attribute energy was nearly depleted, but thankfully, a regular black gold knife glow was now enough to inflict serious damage on the monster.

At this moment, Charles was just like Nathaniel at the beginning, not saying a word and only launching attacks.

Until the monster's body was reduced to countless thumb-sized fragments, Charles still felt uneasy. He took out a miracle drug from his storage space to restore his attribute energy and drank it down.

Then, he began to closely watch the floating chunks of flesh and blood. As soon as he sensed anything unusual about any piece, Charles would not hesitate to launch a black gold knife glow directly at it!

It wasn't until Nathaniel woke up that Charles let out a sigh of relief.

Just now, the most effective weapon he had against this strange entity was the power of the unknown within him, which he could no longer use. Experience tales with empire

When he awakened from the illusion, a strange thought crossed Charles's mind: the illusion seemed so real!

The despair and pain had almost dragged Charles down with it.

"That's a bit odd. It felt like the unknown power within me was affected by that despair and pain, rendering it completely silent. What could be the reason for that?" Charles pondered to himself.

At that moment, Nathaniel was blankly looking around, instantly thinking of the terrifying consequences.

While he had been lost in the illusion, the monster had been able to act!

"Charles, where's that monster? It didn't escape, did it? If so, we really got lucky. Otherwise, if it had attacked us, we would be in danger!" Nathaniel sighed in relief.

Then he noticed the floating chunks in the sky that looked somewhat familiar.

Nathaniel strained to remember, feeling like he had seen those pieces somewhere before.

"The monster didn't escape. Those small fragments you see are it." Charles said slowly.

Nathaniel's eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at Charles, then back at the fragments. He swallowed hard and asked Charles:

"Did you do all of this?"
