The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

213 History about Sword Fiend Sanctuary



Four figures stood in the front of the forest, looking at the area around them. There was no sign of any other human presence other than theirs. Behind them, a bus could be seen moving to the other side. The silver-haired boy, the youngest in the group, looked at the forest before him and tried to sense the presence of magic beasts.

He was shocked that it was full of magic beasts as he did. Their level was shallow; they weren't a threat to anyone here, but when one considers that this was only the border area, this itself is self-explanatory as to how dangerous the forest in front of them was. The cries and roars of magic beasts could be heard; this was the first time Rishi had seen such a dangerous forest.

Prof. Roy looked at the woman with green hair and emerald-like eyes and said, "Trisha, summon your contract beast; my contract beast can only carry me."

The woman nodded, took out her 'Book of Contracts', and summoned her contract beast, A giant beast appeared before them; it looked like a deer, with its horns made up of wood that looked like branches. It flailed its green wings and sat down.

Everyone climbed on its back. It cried before starting to fly. Prof. Roy guided Prof. Trisha about the direction, and Rishi sat at the back, looking at the forest from above. He was surprised that this forest looked endless; many tall trees were everywhere. He could also see many magic beasts flying around, and he saw magic beasts fighting with each other.

As he got closer to his destination, his breathing became heavy, and he felt uneasy. He didn't know why, but he was not feeling well. He was feeling a little alone. This was the first time he had felt something like that.

He remembered that he had gotten attracted to his first contract beast; they both shared a deep bond. He was also not sure when he would be able to see him again, but he clenched his fist and said, No, it's not the time to feel bad; I have already asked Sheru, and it was his decision.

He still remembered Sheru's happiness when he told him he could become stronger. Sheru had decided to follow this path and needed to respect his decision. It was a difficult choice, and he also remembered how the joy on Sheru's face had disappeared when he told him that he needed to leave his side and train with the magic beasts of his kind. He told him that after completing his training, he would be able to become extremely powerful.

Prof. Anya saw Rishi and knew what was going on inside his mind. She decided to comfort him. She patted his back and said, "No need to be sad; you will be able to meet him again."

Rishi looked at the professor and sighed. He now realized his emotions were visible to others too. He changed the topic to "Mam, Can you explain more about Sword Feind Sanctuary?"

Prof. Anya started explaining to him. "I also don't know everything about it; I only know it is a blessed land for sword-type magic beats." As for its history, it was discovered after the first Earth transfiguration."

"This place was regarded as a graveyard of swords. It is said that it is the place where the swords of warriors who passed away are buried. It all started when a king said that it was his last wish that his sword be buried in the mountain. The king was legendary; he fought against many invaders and defeated them while guarding his land. He successfully won in a battle where he fought against an army three times of his own, but later he passed away due to the injuries."

"In honor of their king, the kingdom's people created that place. It was a mountain with the king's sword buried at the top, while the swords of the other warriors belonged to him according to their ranking and contribution. From that day on, this place became a heritage for the generations, but it was then slowly forgotten by the new generations."

"It was when a beast tamer accidentally rediscovered it. He could only escape from there, and he revealed that there were many sword-type beasts there. This news created a storm, and many Beast Tamers started coming here to catch a sword-type magic beast, but when things started getting out of control, many Beast Tamers lost their lives, and the one that escaped had a look of horror in their eyes."

"When the government discovered this, they made this place forbidden for outsiders to enter. The rules about catching sword-type beasts have very harsh punishments. It was then that the younger generations discovered that this was one of the heritage places of their ancestors, so they started to visit it by getting permission from the government. After some years, they got permission to observe the faraway place."

"The government developed aerial cable cars so that visitors can observe this place without disturbing the magic beasts there. After that, the sword-type magic beasts without masters are left here. There are many strong magic beasts here, and from what I know, there is even a spirit beast; he is the ruler of this place. He is also the reason why the government is able to control the magic beasts here easily."

"After a while, the government developed this place into a sanctuary. All magic beasts inside it are protected. After a century of good ties with humans, the Beast King permitted the government to allow sword-type contract beasts to enter the sanctuaries and train."

"You might not know, but it is tough to train a sword-type beast. They are scarce, but this has become an extraordinary training place under the guidance of multiple high-level sword-beasts with very high experience. Beast tamers from all over the country come here to get their sword beasts trained. After the benefits of the training were discovered, the number of sword beasts that flooded the sanctuaries increased a lot. At last, the government's solution was a monthly selection test to select the contract beasts that were allowed entry."

"Oh," Rishi said, surprised. "When is the selection test for this month?" he asked.

"It is after two days; are you confident? Many talented individuals from throughout the country are here. The competition is even fiercer in this part of the year. On holidays, everyone has enough time to come here; this place will broaden your horizons. " said Prof. Anya, looking at Rishi to see if he was still confident.

"It will be fun; I hope they will be stronger." A fire lit up in his eyes as a confident smile surfaced on his lips. Prof. Anya shook when she looked at his confidence. She was also curious to see the newly evolved Sheru, but she decided to believe in him when she thought about Rishi's achievements. Even if the individuals here were talented and extraordinary, was Rishab someone ordinary? He was the winner of their academy's half-yearly exam.

"I have also heard interesting news," said Prof. Roy.

Rishi and Prof. Anya looked at him with a curious expressions. While they both didn't say anything, anyone could guess from their expressions that they were looking down on him as if mocking him. So you have noticed you are not on a date. There are two more people here other than Prof. Trisha.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face, or have you just now noticed my otherworldly charms?" Rishi and Prof. Anya wanted to vomit from looking at his face.

Prof. Anya asked, "What news have you heard?"

Prof. Roy replied, "I heard that there is a competition at the end of this year, and the winner will be allowed to enter the sanctuary and select a magic beast, and if he can convince it, he will be allowed to contract it."

"What?" Rishi and Prof. Anya cried both for different reasons: Rishi exclaimed because he could use this as an opportunity to meet Sheru, while Prof. Anya was shocked because she didn't know the government would be able to make a deal like this.

"How do you know about it?" asked Prof. Anya.

"I have my ways," said Prof. Roy. Others looked at him curiously and wanted to ask but decided to remain silent, as everyone has their secrets.

"It is good news, Rishab; you will get permission to enter the Sword Fiend Sanctuary and contract a Sword Beast of your choice. You should use the opportunity; here you will gain experience which will help you everywhere. The Beast Tamers from different regions also have different ways to fight" said Prof. Anya. He nodded, but inside his head, he was unsure why he should care to get a chance to contract with a high-Grade contract beast. Sheru was already an extraordinary magical beast, just a step away from becoming a legend.
