The manor fell into an eerie silence and was in a mess.
"Anlina Tazera, hereditary lord, second-class wanted target of the Administration Bureau, suspected to be related to several missing persons cases in Resa City."
Char yawned and routinely repeated the notice required by the mission regulations manual.
"According to the Fifth Amendment jointly promulgated by the military and the Bureau of Control, as the executor of the wanted mission, I have the right to exercise law enforcement power within a certain limit after locking down the evidence."
Although the other party's mumbling seemed to be continuing, Anlina no longer had the leisure to listen.
Because she had recognized the badge on the chest of the man named Char.
That was the school emblem of Saint Laurent Academy, the top beast taming school in the imperial capital, which was completely different from the lower-level academy here in Resa.
The other party was not exaggerating. Some senior students at Saint Laurent College did have abilities comparable to mid-level beastmasters and were qualified to be hired by the military, the Administration Bureau, and even the Vatican.
Alina's eyes turned slightly, and her gaze stayed for a moment on Shayana's inconspicuous, even simple clothes.
...
...
Otherwise, the other party would not have been recruited into this manor as one of those country people.
"Although you are from Saint Laurent College, judging by your clothes, you are probably just a commoner or a minor noble."
"Even though he has an outstanding talent for taming beasts, he is limited by evolutionary resources and strengthening materials. He has no choice but to work for a big power in order to earn a meager reward."
"The descendants of those big shots won't take the risk to accept these dirty wanted missions."
Alina turned slightly to the side, her well-fitting evening gown outlining her plump curves, and spoke in a hoarse voice that was different from her previous one.
"My pet is very special. It doesn't need to consume those precious extraordinary materials to grow. As a noble, I have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years."
"In exchange, I won't make things difficult for you. Give me two hours. After two hours, you can report to the Administration Bureau that the mission has failed."
"Believe me, the entire wealth of a hereditary noble is definitely higher than the reward offered by the Governing Bureau."
Xia raised his eyebrows in surprise; the other party's level of cooperation was beyond his expectations.
He shook his head: "You can't give me what I want."
"How can I know if you don't tell me?" Alina waved the dagger and tore the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her snow-white skin and a hint of depth: "Maybe the price I can pay is more than you think?"
"I'm sorry, even though you have big breasts, yandere isn't on my menu."
"It's fine to watch it in the second dimension, but if it really appears in reality, I think it's more appropriate to dispose of it harmlessly."
Xia took out a tissue from his pocket and said, "Of course, if you can give me the stone statue you found in your father's warehouse when you were nineteen years and three months old, I don't mind considering your offer of bribe."
Anlina was silent for a moment.
On the one hand, he was shocked that the other party knew so much about an unintentional act of his a few years ago. He was just like a perverted stalker. God knows how much information he knew about him.
On the other hand, this stalker who should have been extremely obsessed with him, when he heard the attack he had sent out in conjunction with his pet's spiritual skills, although he expressed regret, there was clearly no wavering in his black eyes.
Moreover, it was impossible for him to give up that stone sculpture.
If she had not accidentally obtained the magical stone sculpture from the relics passed down from her ancestors, then she, with her mediocre soul and no talent at all, would never have been able to become a beastmaster.
It is even more impossible to allow a Flower Dancing Butterfly, whose racial level is only at the awakening stage, to advance to the evil and powerful Nightmare Butterfly that can devour souls.
Once you have tasted the power, you will never stop trying to get the source of that power. "So I said, you can't give me what I want. In order to save everyone's time, let's just go through our own procedures and get it done."
Char wiped his mouth with a tissue and glanced at the dark butterfly silently floating in the air behind Alina: "Come to think of it, it's been delayed for so long, it should be almost done."
Almost at the same time when Char finished his last words.
Wisps of black mist suddenly and silently spread over the butterfly shape formed by the black mist.
Then in an instant, it covered the walls and the dining table in the auditorium.
Until, Char's figure was completely submerged in it.
“It’s finally done.”
Looking at the black fog that was engulfing the other party, Alina suppressed the feeling of weakness deep in her soul brought about by her pet's high-level skills, and let out a long sigh.
She knew that those who were qualified to undertake secret missions for the Bureau of Control must be the best in Saint Laurent College. Although they looked young, their level of Beast Tamer should not be low, and it was not impossible that they were even stronger than herself.
If I really let it summon its pet for a fair fight, I wouldn't be sure of winning since I'm not good at frontal combat.
"But, after all, they are only students of the Beast Taming Academy. Although they are quite strong, they lack practical combat experience."
A real battle between beastmasters is not like the arena competitions in the Beast Taming Academy, where you have to wait patiently for both sides to summon their pets and arrange their formations. There is even a rule that pets are not allowed to directly attack the beastmaster.
Her pet, Nightmare Butterfly, has a high-level skill called "Remnant Dream" that can be activated silently, dragging the beastmaster into a mental illusion without any warning.
Although after the activation, Anlina herself and the Nightmare Butterfly will also be restricted and unable to move, the mental illusion created by the "Remnant Dream" will continuously produce the most terrifying virtual and real phantoms until the soul of the trapped person is completely worn out and then devoured alive.
It can be said that once "Remnant Dream" is successfully activated, unless the opponent has reached the level of a four-ring master beastmaster, he can rely on the strength of his mental power to forcibly break free from the illusion.
Otherwise, even if one is a high-level beastmaster of the third ring, once trapped in the dream world, the only possibility is that his soul will dry up.
There are only a handful of master-level beastmasters even in a big city like Resa, and it is impossible for the other party to reach that level at his age.
In other words, he was already invincible.
Alina suppressed the feeling of mental weakness and immersed herself in the illusion of a broken dream.
This black-haired boy named Char brought her a great sense of oppression. She had to watch his soul being devoured with her own eyes before she could feel at ease.
Immediately following.
She looked on blankly as a huge metal object with a streamlined silver-white appearance appeared in the center of the illusion. It existed in a way that she could not understand at all.
Then, it exploded right before his eyes.
Amid the surging light and heat, a mushroom cloud slowly rose.
With his hands in his pockets, Char glanced at Big Ivan in the distance who suddenly exploded and shook the entire "Remnant Dream" illusion to the point of collapse. He then glanced at the illusory and distorted rays of light that seemed to be brewing the embryonic form of something, and couldn't help but whistling.
"We are just saying——"
"Comparing your imagination with a time traveler, isn't that a bit of a bully?"
