Chapter 57 Encountering the Tier-3 Beast Outside the City

Jeremy Night sighed in relief. The staff told him about the mission. It was they who posted the mission. "What's your name?" the staff asked. "I'm Jeremy Night," Jeremy said before showing him his digital ID. The staff checked the ID before opening the blue virtual screen to verify. Soon, the information appeared on the screen. He saw that the patrolling mission was accepted by the person in front of him.@@@@ "Alright, I'll inform the Patrol Team Captain. His name is Gordon," the staff said. Then he requested someone in his office to guide me to one of their Patrol Team Captains. A middle-aged man appeared. He started leading me toward the area outside the huge city wall. After leaving the office, he followed the middle-aged man. Shortly afterwards, We exited the gate and stepped outside. There was a vast open land in front of me. Jeremy could smell the wilderness all around. There were no other big cities ahead, except for human settlements. Then he continued following the middle-aged man. He led him to a small building, which resembled a small outpost office of the patrol team. When we got there, people who were inside the building spotted us. A burly middle-aged man walked outside. "Gordon, this is the kid who accepted the mission," the middle-aged man said. "Oh," the burly man raised his eyebrows. He had black hair and eyes and was wearing the patrol uniform. His gaze fell on the kid. When he saw that the kid was just Tier-1, Rank 2 Early Stage, his eyes flashed with disdain. "I was expecting at least a Tier-2 Beast Tamer to come. What am I going to do with this Tier-1 Beast Tamer?" Gordon said in a dejected tone. Jeremy's eyes narrowed hearing that. It was their own office that posted the mission in their task hall in the first place. Now this person is speaking like that? "Captain Gordon, we posted the mission on the first year's task hall," the middle-aged man said with a bitter smile. "What?" Gordon was shocked. The speed was so fast that he failed to catch its appearance. No doubt Jeremy thought that it was a Corrupted Beast. Instead of panicking, he channeled the starlight energy and imbued it into the katana blade. In the blink of an eye, the katana blade shone with white light. The Corrupted Dog Beast smelled the scent of prey, which was weaker than it. It got excited and started rushing toward the spot. Jeremy, who was cautiously moving forward, felt a sudden heart palpitation. Then he saw a Tier-3 Dog Corrupted Beast charging toward him. He had prepared mentally before coming here. He knew that the corrupted beasts outside the city were mostly above Tier-1. So he quickly calmed down his nerves and tried to face the situation. As the corrupted beast got closer, Jeremy waited for it to approach even more. Tier-3 Beasts are fast and agile, especially the dog-type ones. He didn't want it to escape his attack. In the blink of an eye, the beast was a step away from biting his neck. Then he drew the katana to attack. Slice! He immediately swung it from the side. The starlight blade came in contact with the beast's body. Pfff! The blade went easily into the flesh like butter. The next second, blood poured out like water. The Corrupted Beast screamed. Jeremy's eyes flickered. He felt an increase in the power of the starlight energy. It must be the effect of a small breakthrough. The Tier-3 Corrupted Beast felt that it had underestimated the prey's strength. Half of its body was injured, and now it was feeling a burning sensation inside. The beast tried to flee, but its movements were slowed down. Jeremy saw the opportunity and immediately charged forward to attack. Cut! He swung the blade again. After making a few more slashes, Jeremy saw that the corrupted beast had lost its strength. He then drew the sword to sever. The blade came down vertically before separating the corrupted beast's head from its body. Jeremy realized that the Tier-3 Dog Corrupted Beast was weaker than other Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts he had faced so far.
