The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

The onlookers had not expected that things would take such turns, but now everything was starting all over again.

"Prepare yourself; I am bound by the laws of college. I would not go easy," said Bhuvan as he took out his 'Book of Contracts.'

Diya ignored him and waited for the referee's command.

Amrita looked at both of them before announcing, "Summon your contract beast."

Both started focusing and summarizing their beasts; their 'Book of Contracts' rose into the air as they started.

It was not hard to summon the first Contract Beast; it could be summoned in just five seconds.

Second Contract The beast needed ten seconds to summon. This time, it depended on the Beast Tamer as well as his level.

The higher the level, the more time he will need to summon his contract Beast. It also costs a large amount of manpower and mental energy.

The black book hovering over Diya's hand started shining with a silver glow. A page separated from it and turned into a silver flash.

It turned into a large ancient door when it opened, and a figure appeared out of it.

This was a strange humanoid creature. It was clad in thick metallic armor.

If not for the reason it was mentioned, others would have thought it was a human. A blue light flashed in its eyes as if it had come alive.

It had a large ponytail coming out of its helmet in blue. Its armor, spear, and shield also had blue-colored patterns on them.

It had a long spear with a pointy head in one hand. It looked so strong as if it could slice through mountains.

On the other hand, there was a large elegant shield that was broader at the top but narrower toward the bottom.

'click'

'click'

The contract beast approached its master and stood before her.

'Thump'

It put down the large shield it was wielding, and its powerful presence was revealed.

"Woah! A phantom knight." Everyone here had heard of this magic beast. It was evolved for the Phantom Soldier.

Rishi's eyes lit up. 'So this is how a phantom knight looks.'

The Phantom Soldier was an elite-grade magic beast that could evolve into many different epic-grade magic beasts.

It could evolve into a Phantom Swordsman, a powerful swordsman that was no less than a human swordsman at the same level.

or a Phantom Archer. This evolution made it into a good archer-type magic beast.

Having this beast looked as if you had one extra member; it was very popular because of that.

It could also evolve into a Phantom Wizard or a Phantom Spearsman. All these evolutions had their own advantages and uses.

Because of this, some Beast Tamers would not even mind contracting more than one Phantom Soldier Magic Beast.

There was a story about it. There was a phantom that liked to scare people. One day, it tried to scare a soldier, but the soldier was brave and fought it.

After losing the soldier, the Phantom started following it. He practiced day and night and copied the training of the soldier.

Due to its hard work, the phantom evolved and turned into a phantom soldier. It challenged the soldier who had defeated it.

When other phantoms saw that, they decided to learn from the phantom soldier. From that day on, phantoms started training instead of scaring people.

This was a tale about how phantom soldiers came to life. To this day, many Beast Cultivators have tried to evolve the Phantom into a Phantom Soldier, but no one has succeeded.

These beasts could only be found in special places.

Rishi knew this was not true. Many families had already found this secret, but they wanted to keep it hidden.

After all, they earn a lot by selling Phantom Soldiers; why would they burn their own source of revenue?

This was not rare. Many evolutions have been hidden from the public for profit.

Rishi knew that because he was also a Beast Cultivator, with his authority, he could purchase the evolution medium, but it cost a lot of contribution points.

He also had to sign a contract of privacy; he could use it but couldn't pass on this information or try to sell it to make a profit.

"Look at that." The attention of others shifted toward Bhuvan.

A strange black pond had appeared before him, from which a strange creature came out.

This was a bipedal beast. It had a thin body covered in a dark cloak. Its mantis-like face was slightly visible.

It had large, bug-like, red-colored eyes and a triangular head.

Its body was thin as if it were as weak as a twig.

Both its hands were like sharp scythe-like blades. They had razor-sharp edges that looked as if they could cut through iron.

It had a slightly slouched posture with its long legs. It was as if it were standing on its toes.

The referee looked at both of them before raising the magic pistol toward the sky and shooting.

'Bang'

The battle started, and Bhuvan became serious. He commanded his contracted beast to attack.

Divya moved back, commanding her contract beast to defend. She started summoning her second contract beast.

'Clang' A sound appeared in the battle ring; Bhuvan's Magic Beast had already started attacking.

A black, blurred shadow became visible from time to time.

'Clang' Sparks flew in the air; nothing was clearly visible. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝐦

The Mantis Beast was very swift, and it attacked from different directions each time.

It was targeting Divya, but no matter how fast it moved, it always found the Phantom Knight there.

"So this is the renowned ability of the Phantom Knight, 'Oath of Protection.'," said Professor Ravi as he started noting down some more things in his notebook.

'What a bothersome ability' thought Rishi.

This ability allowed the Phantom Knight to change his position anywhere in the one-meter area around its master.

It was similar to his zone but very limited. However, it could come in very handy in battles.

Divya was also very fast; she kept moving, which made it difficult for the opponent to lock down her exact location.

When these two things combined, it made it very hard for anyone to land an attack on Divya.

While she was dodging and moving around, she had not stopped her summoning.

It was not easy to focus while being constantly amused by an opponent. This mantis beast was very cunning and hard to deal with.

The Phantom Knight was pretty good; it blocked most of the attacks.

The audience was thrilled when they watched the clash between them; no one could predict who would be the winner.
