But the occasional flickers it gave showed that it was not dead, but alive! The strange crystal in Aiden’s hand was a treasure from his family. It was called a Beast Crystal and it was used to locate members of Aiden’s race by inducing hallucinations of uncommon beasts in the minds of the victims. If the victim slept soundly without any hallucinations, that person was a regular old human. If there were results, then it meant that the person was of Aiden’s race – the Beastman Race! The user of the crystal could tell what was happening because the crystal allowed them to view the contents of the dream through the eyes of the conjured creature. So while they may not be able to see the beast, th

“These three beastmen are the bodies of first Divine Step experts, fused and refined with the bones of ancient beasts. Their strength has already reached the level of the seventh Divine Step!” With those words, Arthur’s mouth curled into a smug smile. “What do you think of these three seventh Divine Step experts that I’ve prepared for you as a surprise? Today, all of you present here will be accounted for. No one can escape. I’ll refine and absorb all of you. Hahahaha...” His arrogant laughter echoed through the sky. “Kill him!” With Arthur’s command, the three beastmen immediately moved. Although they had strange forms, their movements were swift without the slightest hint of discoordinatio

Suddenly a womanly voice replied," Yes, Mr.Jacob how may I help you?" "Please turn on the lights and introduce yourself", said Jacob and turned towards the students while the lights slowly turned on. "Students, Welcome to the beast training hall, I am Helda, an artificial AI built for helping students understand and train their beasts; I will help you regarding your beasts whenever you need, please feel free to contact me through your smartwatches.", said Helda.

The commander spoke as they headed out the door. Christopher grinned. "I'm not Beast anymore." Bruce cocked his head in surprise. "You do know that we called you Beast because of how you are out on the field, right? The way you went through Crucible and everything else you tackle is what makes you a beast." Christopher shrugged. "I guess I didn't know that. But it didn't bother me. I don't mind being called Beast by you guys…" He left the rest unsaid and headed out of the room.

Alpha Zane's eyes flickered open, his grey eyes swiftly moving around the room, till he came to a slow focus on Beta Kane's desperate eyes. "Alpha. You are awake." "Kane." he said, a small breath escaping his lips and he pulled himself to a sitting position. His cloak was still wrapped around him, but the right shoulder was off, exposing the constellation tattoo that extended from his upper arm to his neck, and stopped just before his ear lobe. Standing out was Polaris, the northern star, the star his pack had been named after.

“The charm of the Charmed Woodland engages us to confront this challenge.” With the direction of the Consonant Artisans, we drawn closer the Harsh Behemoth, our hands delicately touching its offensive shape. The creature's vibrations appeared to reverberate inside us, filling our faculties with a cacophony of friction. As we channeled our vitality and harmonized with the Harsh Behemoth, we seem feel the discord steadily receding. The creature's malicious nearness disseminated, and the songs of the mountains and valleys started to harmonize once more.

The dining hall is similar to the one that was in the painting I threatened to torch, only slightly less wide. It is a long room with a very high ceiling and no pillars. The lighting in the room comes from numerous lamps that burn so bright everything in the large room is visible to you no matter where you are standing in it. Its high walls are adorned by paintings of all kinds similar in style and feel to the aforementioned one but of vastly different subject matters. There’s one of a war ship and another of a garrison.

Not to mention if we tried to strike back, the agility of a cat would be something to learn. “What do you want?” Arthur says getting to the point. The beast licks it’s lips, revealing sharpened fangs as it does so. It’s sleek black tail whips back and forth like it’s just caught eyes of its prey. “Not so fast, why don’t we all get acquainted,” The beast says in a sing-song kind of way, but its voice is grave and coarse.

"Marshal Snow, let's keep going. It's been ages since I had such a good brawl. I hope to get my fill today. Come on!" Gideon had no choice but to use the Beast Supreme Bone. Attwell raised an eyebrow. "An apex overbeast artifact, huh? It won't work. Even a living apex overbeast couldn't stop me, let alone just an artifact." Then, he let out a punch. That one punch sent Gideon crashing back into Black Snake Mountain again, his whole body nearly falling apart. Just then, a streak of sword light cut across the battlefield. Noel made his move, tossing out his longsword and guiding it with his fingers.
