The Strongest Beast Tamer 156 New World, New Beasts

'Aaron, is there anything on this island?' Lachlan asked.

'Nope, that's another reason as to why I chose it; although, beasts might have arrived on the island rather recently, during the year that I wasn't here' Aaron replied.

'Alright, your four all come out' Lachlan summoned the four of them, his tattoos lit up the surrounding tree a bright blue hue. One by one they appeared behind him, towering over him as they surveyed the area.

'Let's take to the skies, I came here for one reason and I want to return swiftly. Aaron, which way are we heading' Lachlan didn't want to continue to distract himself with his fascination with Aaron's world, he would wait until he tames something before he explores it along with Sarah and the others.

'This way master' Aaron took in the air as he flew left, into the powerful gusts of wind that were slamming against the island. Fortunately for them, Lachlan had come prepared with wind stones, something he hadn't thought would be needed so soon.

Changing the direction of the wind around them their speed began to pick up, as the wind pushed them heavily from behind. Lachlan had also changed gravity as well, making it push them through the skies faster than they could fly.

Lachlan felt the skin on his face pull back, revealing a row of white, shiny teeth. His hair, dishevelled as he made his way through the air. Every now and then he would look below, into the deep blue ocean to try a see anything.

As they flew for an hour Lachlan began to hear the splitting of waves beneath him, he felt a gaze full of killing intent land on his body. Looking down he noticed two, dark red glowing eyes staring at him beneath the waves.

He could see the shadow of the beast, it was at least 20 metres long. It's body somewhat resembled that of a shark, but it had tentacles emerging from its sides as well. Lachlan felt a cold shiver and swiftly changed direction, twisting his body as he flew through the air.

A tentacle shot out from the waters, reaching the height Lachlan was at in a split second it tore through the air like a cannonball.

When it noticed it had missed Lachlan could hear the beast beneath the waters roar in anger, wings began to sprout from its back and emerge from the ocean. Lachlan felt as though he was daydreaming when he saw the beast.

Its scale was dark green, its teeth completely black while its tentacles and wings were purple. It looked like a chimera gone wrong: it had the wings of an eagle, the body of a shark and octopus-like tentacles.

'Oh come on, what the f.u.c.k is this? a.n.a.lyse' Lachlan really thought his mind was playing tricks on him, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had only just arrived in the world and he was already greeted by a beast he had never seen before.

It truly was a beast right out of a fantasy world, Lachlan began to wonder what else he would find on this planet. Would there be orcs, goblins, dwarfs, and elves? His mind began to trail off as he imagined the possibilities.

His armour sent him another warning, he tactfully twisted his body slightly, dodging the attack from the tentacles. Unsheathing his sword he swung with great momentum, slicing the tentacle in half the chimer roared in anger.

'You three, take care of this' Lachlan said to the three Rocs. They all nodded before taking into the skies, they screeched loudly as they puffed their chests out with pride. The darkened clouds began to swirl above them, blue lightning began to traverse across the clouds as thunder echoed across the waters.

The chimera, alarmed by the sudden danger changed targets and began to move towards the Rocs with great speed. They looked down at the chimer with eyes of pity as a lightning bolt the size of a house pierced through its body and struck the ocean surface.

Burnt to a crisp, inside and out, the body of the chimera fell into the ocean, creating a ripple as it sank down. 'You know, if it wasn't so ugly I might have been tempted to tame it, but there's just something very offsetting about it.'

'Master, I wouldn't consider doing that as chimeras are the result of human experiments, they have no room for growth and likely stagnate in strength once they reach their peak' Aaron explained with a concerned tone. 'Also, I'd rather master not tame something so ugly and weird.'

Lightly chuckling Lachlan responded. 'It doesn't seem all that bad, so, are they all as ugly as that one? In my world, we have myths and legends of similar beasts, created with the limbs of different beasts, kind of like you but with more mix and matching.'

'Yes but I am no chimera, I'm not the result of a human experiment but rather something evolved from a being of majesty' Aaron responded with pride. He was originally lion that people feared crossing paths with, mainly due to their apparent curse but that doesn't matter now. Now he was a griffon, the king of the skies and the land.

Lachlan sighed before his ears twitched at the sound of wings flapping ever so slight. It didn't sound like a large beast, rather, when he looked up he noticed it was incredibly small. Similar size to birds on Earth before the evolution.

Its feathers were bright blue while its beak was a slightly darker hue of blue, it almost camouflages in the skies. Its feet were grey-dark grey. There were what Lachlan a.s.sumed were tails, drifting behind the bird's wings, two of them.

Lachlan thought there was only one of them and was quite frankly shocked to his core; not about the stats of the bird but rather that it was able to survive for so long. It was a bird that would basically be free levels to stronger beasts.

Then Lachlan began to hear more wings, so much more that it soon merged together to become almost a humming type sound. It wasn't loud, nor did it have any special effects but just from the sound, Lachlan could tell that the sheer number of everwinds would be immense.

Focusing his attention further upwards Lachlan saw the gathered silhouette of hundreds, maybe even thousands of everwinds. Lachlan realised how they managed to survive for so long, their special abilities.

Something that doesn't change no matter how much stronger you get. The only time it actually increases in strength is when a beast gets older, or its grade goes higher. With the number of them gathered they could fire off a few hundred special abilities at the same time.

Fortunately, it seems they're rather docile and won't attack unless provoked. Lachlan and his tames flew alongside them for a few hours, the only thing still in sight was the great deep blue ocean and the things inside of it that occasionally pop their heads out.

'Hey Aaron, just wondering but how far exactly till we reach on of those islands?' Lachlan asked with growing concern. He felt as though they would never find land no matter how much they flew, suppose seeing the same thing for hours on end does something to the mind.

'Well, I will say that we are actually going a lot faster than when I came to the island. But if I were to give a rough estimation it would take roughly 2 - 3 days without rest' Aaron explained nonchalantly while Lachlan's brain exploded.

'I suppose there's something I can try, I just don't know whether or not it would work properly' Lachlan has had the idea for a while but was never in a situation where he needed to do it. Now, however, now was the perfect time to give it a try.

'Alright, you four can come back now there's no threats' Lachlan unsummoned the four, they turned into dark figures before merging with the shadow on his stomach that was facing away from the suns.

Lachlan pulled out a few more gravity stones, he didn't see the issue in not bringing as many as he could hold on him. They were valuable tools that could be used to destroy an enemy, even an entire country if he is so pleased.

Places like Houston would be the most easily destroyed with gravity stones, they could just collapse the roof and no one would even know the cause. They aren't going to suspect a few rocks to have such power behind them.

He had a bit more than three gravity stones, although he only needed three for his plan. PLacing them back in his pocket he began to give specific commands. One would continue to keep him flying as he rests, one would repel everything away from him and the final one would nullify that effect for him.

As of now, he's basically a flying fortress, without the size of course.

The birds noticed that Lachlan had unsummoned his tames but didn't care too much about it. They were only curious about the human beneath them as his behaviour was much different from the humans they've encountered before.

Closing his eyes Lachlan's final glimpse was of the sun, sinking into the deep blue ocean. Its light made the water orange, its reflection sprawled across the waters. Lachlan felt the light breeze of warmth from his wind stone and peacefully slept.

He continued to fly for hours on end, 7 hours to be exact before he finally woke up again. He looked around and held his head down low when he noticed nothing was still in sight. Not a single piece of land, just the great blue ocean.

Feeling annoyed Lachaln increased the speed at which he flew at, the wind stone wasn't able to counteract the strength of the wind blowing against Lachlan. He truly felt the skin on his face begin to peel back but he didn't care, he wanted to see land, some form of a platform.

His stomach gurgled mightly as hunger consumed his mind. Lachlan observed the horizon, hoping to catch a glimpse of land that Aaron didn't notice...

And that's what happened.

In the far distance, Lachlan finally spotted land, an island that stretched only half a kilometre wide and long. There were trees, covering its ground but Lachlan could see the figures of humanoid beasts lurking in the shadows beneath.

He could smell food from where he was, he didn't even know it was possible. It was salty, something like roasted fish. It filled his nostrils which were desiring something other than the ocean to smell.

Lachlan began to head that way, he saw the eyes of the island's inhabitants stare at him, they were filled with killing intent. Lachlan didn't mind though, his only thought was on the food that they were cooking.
