New law of Beast Taming-Chapter 455 - 456: The tried soul helps no one [pt3]

"You have a clear direction to head toward now? Are you sure about you? Would you be able to stop Kori if she did not listen to you? What if you must kill her? Would you do it? You have always been selfish, Amane. You would watch the world burn if it meant you would profit."

Ehn’s voice sounded accusing, but Amane did not think what she did was abuse. She thought of it as a tactical approach.

Amane admitted that she was selfish and would put her interests in front of the world.

But this time, it was different. She was not acting in her self-interest but in Kori’s interest. She needed to bring Kori back to her senses because that was what Kori would have wanted.

"Fine, you caught me. I am doing this for myself but for Kori. Who cares what happens to this world if Kori snaps out of it and comes with me."

Ehn sighed at the lack of guilt or awareness on Amane’s face. This had to be intentional at this point.

"Fine! If you have chosen this, I cannot stop you. Yoko hid a pass in this room that will help you find the way to the upper heavens. You need to find Chen once you are done here. The Tsurugi estate has served its purpose and will go down soon."

Ehn informed before the ghost started to fade away. Amane was surprised to see how skilled Ehn had become in his art.

He had been able to leave behind a phantom of himself after his death. And the phantom had enough energy to last and support this estate for almost 200 years.

But now that the phantom had exhausted all its energy, it and the estate were done for. The estate started to shake, almost as if it reminded Amane that it was time to head out.

Amane quickly ran out of the room and instantly came across Melissa and Kristia.

They were running away from her and toward the inner side. And it took Amane only a short time to notice what they were running from. Find more chapters on novelbuddy

"Amane, what are you doing? Hurry up and run away. There’s an adult Griffin behind us. It will kill us if it catches up to us."

Melissa warned Amane before she turned around and grabbed Amane’s arm. She pulled Amane into a run to save her life.

"Melissa, calm down. I think I can take down that Griffin for us."

Amane promised, but Melissa did not have it. Her eyes were wide in freight, and her lungs were heaving painfully. But she refused to turn around and even consider Amane’s words.

"Don’t be foolish. I know you are strong and managed to tame small beasts (and a drake, but it was stimulating), but a living Griffin is a different matter. You will die if you are not careful."

Melissa warned before she noticed Kristia stopped walking. He looked conflicted and terrified at the same time.

He took the turn and instantly started backing away from the corner. There was something dangerous in the corner.

"Melissa, take Amane and carefully run away when I give the signal. There is another Griffin in front of us. And this one looks like it’s in a bad mood."

Kristia warned, and Melissa cursed. They had to deal with not one, but two Griffins now. And they needed more resources at their disposal.

Amane felt sorry for these kids. But she had to admit that it was a little funny to see them freaking out like this.

She pulled her hand out of Melissa’s hand and quickly stepped forward. Melissa looked stunned, and she tried to stop Amane. But it was too late for her to react when the Griffin turned the corner.

It looked agitated as it smacked its hooves on the ground and smacked the walls with its tail. It was easy to imagine why such a scene would look aggressive to most people.

But Amane had been dealing with Griffins for a long time, and she could see that it was not aggression but amusement and interest. The Griffin wanted to play with them.

"Hello, kid. You sure are a young one. Are you alone? Is your mother here as well?"

Amane approached the Griffin, but only because of its familiar mana. She knew this Griffin was born from the one she had looked after and tamed.

And if the kid was still here, the mother had to be here too. It would be nice to have a reunion with the Griffin once more.

"Amane, don’t be a fool. That’s a fracking Griffin. It will-"

Whatever Kristia was about to say got stuck in his throat as the Griffin gave a small when Amane reached out her hand and then churred in happiness.

It threw itself against Amane and rubbed its beak and fur against her hand.

"That’s a good boy. I knew it. All you wanted to do was to play with me, right? You should have indicated it since the start. This way, you would not have scared the people away."

Amane scolded while scratching the Griffin behind its back. The Griffin seemed to be enjoying the scratches and even gave a few chirps in appreciation.

"I-Is it safe now? Amane, are you alright? The Griffin did not hurt you, right?"

Melissa asked in a fascinated voice. She looked scared of the Griffin but fascinated at the same time.

She even tried to reach her hand a few times, and Griffin responded positively. But as soon as she was close enough to touch the Griffin, she flinched and pulled away in fright.

"It’s alright. You can touch the kid if you want to. It will not bite you if I am here."

Amane promised, and that made the hesitation inside Melissa go away. She reached out her hand and petted the Griffin. The baby did not like Melissa’s touch but did not pull away from her either.

The lack of response told Melissa that she should pull her hand back now.

"Ah, this Griffin is charming. But you said that its mother is around here as well? Should we be playing with it, then? What if we anger its mother, and it tries to kill us all?"

Kristia asked a second too late. The mother, Griffin, was already in the hallway and did not look happy to see her kid in the hands of humans.

She charged toward Amane and her group in a stomping manner to show her dominance.

Kristia and Melissa quickly stepped back to show the Griffin they did not mean any harm. But Amane did not move.

Instead of going backwards, she stepped forward and held her arms open. The Griffin would crash into her at this rate.

"Amane, look out. The Griffin would kill you if you let it hit you like that."

Kristia warned with a worried look. He even closed his eyes since he did not want to see Amane become parry because of a beast attack.

But Amane did not listen to his words, and she held her arms open for the beast to slam into her.

"Father, is all this bloodshed necessary? Can’t you order the gods to stop all this and live happily with each other?"

Chen asked while looking at the magnificent figure sitting on the highest throne. Kori, his adopted father and the one who had raised him looked like a doll.

The throne was ten times the size of Kori, and her body looked tiny compared to everything else around her.

But her aura more than made up for her lack of size. Her eyes were dark and all-knowing when they looked at Chen.

"I cannot interfere in the divine battle without a cause. This seat is already unstable and might break if I participate as well. We cannot allow that to happen. You know that better than I do, Chen."

Kori reminded Chen, and he clenched his fists. He knew that this situation was his fault. He had called Kori back, hoping it would improve their condition and help drive away the problem they were facing.

Kori’s interference did stop the external energy of the rift and beyond from sneaking into this world. But it also caused her to become bound to this place.

She was like a puppet that could not do anything but sit on her throne.

"I know that you cannot do what you want, Mother. But please, at least try to keep the other gods under control. Don’t let them destroy earth, or all you are trying to protect will end up destroyed anyway."

Chen warned, and Kori’s expression showed that she understood his worry. But she could not bring herself to help Chen or anyone else out.

Chen sighed before he opened the door. He was about to head out when someone slammed into his chest, and he looked down.

Pauline smacked into his chest and then looked up at him. She looked excited; it had been long since Chen had seen such a look.

"Pauline, what happened? Are you alright? What about the experiment? Was it a success?"

Chen asked with a half-hopeful voice, but Pauline shook her head. Her excitement did not waver, and she continued to look at him.

"Boss, I have something important to tell you. The energy waves! The energy wave we were using detected a signal from the Tsurugi mansion. Someone managed to enter that place and trigger the residual energy inside there. We might have Amane back here."

Pauline looked hopeful, and Chen felt optimistic for the first time.
