The Strongest Beast Tamer 160 Reaching Mainland!

Waking up to the sunlight in his eyes, reflecting off the iron walls of the temple Lachlan stood up and walked outside. He surveyed the area for anything lurking in the vegetation but couldn't find anything.

Turning back, he walked up to the griffon corpses and pulled out his broadsword, cutting a chunk of meat off the thigh before cooking it with his flames. The smell drifted through the temple and filled it up to the brim.

Lachlan scoffed the meat down before standing back up and stretching out his limbs; he began speaking to himself, just to make sure he can still talk through his mouth before he does come across humans on the mainland.

Since today was the day that they would be able to reach it, Lachlan had decided that he'll go all out on the rest of the journey, even if his face gets deformed from it.

Taking to the skies Lachlan commanded his stones to send him to the mainland at 50x Earth's gravity, his body arched as he shot through the air, whistling as the air was forced to split around his tough body.

Lachlan swiftly attempted to correct his posture, straightening his back as he faced the direction of the gravity like a pin. His feet, taking the brunt of the air resistance.

Lachlan attempted to use his control of the wind to weaken the air resistance, even have to boost him forward faster. However, to his displeasure, he wasn't able to exert those properties into the air. It wasn't able to move faster than the speed of sound, so Lachlan still felt a majority of the air resistance.

Thinking of something else, Lachlan pushed his two legs against each other tightly, ice began to form from his toes, encasing his entire lower body in thick ice. He began to shape it and morph it to look somewhat similar to a spike, point at his toes while the thicker bit was at his thighs.

The air resistance lessened as his speed increased; now, however, he didn't feel as horrible as before and slightly relaxed a bit. Taking in everything he saw and heard, the clouds and oceans pretty much disappearing from his vision in a minute if not seconds. While the only thing he could hear was the rough whistling of the wind.

It took several hours on end for him to finally see something in the corner of his vision, this dot took up the entire horizon. He got excited as he saw the land, he even saw a town; granted it look pretty well destroyed but it was still a town. It meant intelligent civilisation.

Controlling the stones, Lachlan forced his gravity in the opposite direction, slowing his down as he approached the town. His body, close to the waters began to rupture it, leaving waves in its wake from the sheer force his body was letting off.

Finally, Lachlan landed on the stone port of the town skilfully, his legs bending as it redirected the force towards the ground.

Standing up straight Lachlan surveyed his surroundings, there was no sign of anything, no movement in any of the houses or along the streets. The town looked rather olden, similar to that of America in the 1970s.

The houses were made of stone, the supporting pillars were thick pieces of wood. The roads made of gravel and dirt. There were bloodstains across the walls and roads, it had already dried, so it was obviously old, weeks, maybe even months since the blood spilled.

'Master, this was where Sarah and I lived our lives' Aaron explained with a hint of sadness in his voice. 'This was also the place where I first saw humans change, their violent tendency released as they went after each other with nothing else but killing on their mind.'

Just as Lachlan suspected. He summoned his four tames, letting them stretch their bodies while they were in the town, or what remained of it anyway.

Further into the town was where the majority of the damage was; the buildings looked as though they had been torn apart by blunt objects. Something akin to a sledgehammer.

There, some bones could be spotted, they looked similar to human bones but probably two times larger. An arm bone that looked to be 1.5 metres long, was ledged into a wall near a water fountain that seemed to be placed in the centre of the town.

It wasn't just the arm though, there were limbs scattered around and even in the water fountain. There was no meat on the bones, so it was obvious that someone, or something, cleaned it all up with efficiency.

'Master, to your left up to the hill, was the house that I and my family spent our lives together, it's also the final resting place of Sarah. I would like to go visit the pay my respects' Aaron explained with a coa.r.s.e voice.

Lachlan nodded and made his way over; the house seemed fairly destroyed on the right side, but the left side seemed rather untouched. Aaron walked up to the house and sat down, his back was straight as he looked towards the top window on the left side of the house.

He sat there in silence for a minute, Lachlan nor the Rocs interrupted him, that would be incredibly disrespectful. Even Catastrophe knew that much.

Once he was finished paying respects, Aaron stood up and returned to Lachlan's side. 'Alright master, I can lead you to where the capital should be located; granted, that's only if there is a capital left.'

Lachlan nodded and they took off. Aaron's concerns were the same as Lachlan; although he didn't want to believe it, the violent tendency that the humans developed from the evolution in Aaron's world was quite destructive.

Any place similar to a town, where there were large gatherings of people, would experience similar destruction. As for the capital, it really would be a surprise to see it still standing after everything.

However, after 20 minutes of flying leisurely, once they finally reached the capital it was as they expected. They wouldn't even be able to term it as a capital anymore, considering that the population of it is currently zero.

Lachlan had already surveyed the entire city and found no trace of human life, it was like they were completely wiped out from the world. Their limbs, or at least what Lachlan a.s.sumed were their limbs, were scattered across the city, similar to the port town.

Lachlan continued to hover above the city for a few extra minutes before making his way to the castle in the centre. It was rather lavish; the size was similar to the medieval castles still scattered across Earth. Only this one was entirely made of marble, although it would have been white but after months without anyone taking care of it, there were dirt marks all across it.

Landing on the ground before the castle doors Lachlan looked up and admired the architecture, what's left of it anyway. The statues that still radiated a weak aura of a king, the sword by the statue's food, stabbed into the ground released an aura full of killing intent. Likely a warning to all those coming to greet the king.

Lachlan's ears twitched at the sound of footsteps, they were rapid and heavy, similar to that of a horse but much larger. Feeling a gaze of killing intent envelope his body Lachlan got into a defensive position, raising his arms as he froze them in solid ice, his feet frozen to the ground.

A man burst from the castle doors, battle-axe in his hand raised high above his head. It made contact with Lachlan's armour, reflecting off of it like it was rubber. The man, slightly dazed look towards his battle-axe.

While he was in a daze Lachlan took a closer look at the man that looked almost identical to a human, aside from its enormous size. The man stood 3 – 4 metres tall, his skin was lightly tanned while his hair was charcoal black. All the proportions and limbs were similar to a human's, five fingers and toes, two arms and legs, and at the top of the only body was one head.

It was indeed a human, granted it was a giant human, it was still human nonetheless. Lachlan turned to Aaron for confirmation. 'So is this what humans turned into when they evolved in your world?'

Aaron nodded with a trace of sadness in his eyes. 'Yes, and the one standing before you was the prince of this kingdom; granted, now he is only a hollow vessel, lacking the conviction and personality he once had.'

'You seem to like him, I'm guessing he was a king and helpful fellow' Lachlan said as he blocked another swing from the giant, redirecting it into the ground where it got stuck inside the stone floor.

'Indeed, he was one of the n.o.bles that liked Aaron, even attempted to become his disciple multiple times while we lived in the countryside, travelling the whole distance from the city every time he came to ask' Aaron explained. 'He was the grandson of the king that sent Aaron and Sarah into the countryside.'

'Do you want to let him rest?' Lachlan asked as he heard the sadness from Aaron's voice. It seemed this world and kingdom specifically brought back many nostalgic memories of his time here, the joyful experiences as well as the miserable ones.

'I would very much like to do so' Aaron said as he stepped forward to block the giant's next attack. 'He would likely be elated to know that it was at least someone he was familiar with that ended his life.'

Aaron disappeared from his spot, reappearing in front of the giant with his claws raised high into the air. As they slashed downwards the giant attempted to block with his battle-axe but that came to no avail, as Aaron's claws tore through the battle-axe and ripped through the giant's neck.

The head flew into the castle wall where it was embedded, the body of the giant slumped on the ground and Aaron burnt it and the head to ash. He then sat down and tilted his head downwards, giving the previous prince a moment of silence for his death.

'So, Aaron, where exactly should the dragons be?' Lachlan asked after the moment of silence pa.s.sed and Aaron had returned to his side.

'They should be in the mountains north-west of the capital, it'll only take a few hours going at our top speed to reach the kingdom of dragons' Aaron answered swiftly as he pointed in a direction, to the right of the castle.

'Kingdom of dragons?' Lachlan asked with wide eyes.

'Yes, a kingdom of dragons, formed before the evolution; granted, before the evolution it was more of a wilderness area rather than a kingdom, I don't know how much it's changed over the long period, I don't even know how the dragons evolved either' Aaron explained.

'So I should be prepared?' Lachlan asked as he raised an eyebrow.

'Yes,' Aaron nodded slowly.
