The Strongest Beast Tamer With the Strongest System-Chapter 60: Bone Again

Leonardo left several kiss marks on Margaret’s pale neck before finally leaving.

He drove toward one of the portals in City Z.

But this time, he wasn’t heading to Floor 2.

He chose Floor 1.

Entering Invisible Mode, he appeared outside the gate and immediately flew toward the location where the Aethercore Fruit Tree and Phantom Veil Orchids were planted.

The place was hidden deep within a remote forest—inside a massive canyon that still received sunlight.

At the center stood a single tree wrapped in vines, bearing one fruit that resembled an apple, still mostly green.

Beside it, two black orchids grew silently, still closed.

Even after being moved into the Monster World, there had been no visible change.

Their growth was extremely slow.

On Earth, they would need Mana Liquid just to survive.

Here, they could survive naturally—but Mana Liquid could accelerate their growth.

Leonardo had 20 liters.

He didn’t know if that was enough.

But the moment he arrived, he poured it all out.

Both the tree and the orchids absorbed the Mana Liquid instantly, leaving nothing behind.

However, they didn’t grow immediately.

Instead, their bodies emitted a faint glow, storing the Mana and slowly digesting it.

Perhaps in a day or two, the results would show.

After that, Leonardo left without hesitation and returned to the gate.

---

On Floor 2, he met Ellie again.

(Take me to the ruins.) Leonardo ordered.

Ellie immediately led the way.

They entered a scorching desert.

Even without a sandstorm, the heat was overwhelming—so intense that even in Invisible Mode, Leonardo felt a faint burning sensation.

In the distance, there were multiple volcanic craters—remnants of ancient eruptions.

Monsters were rare here, but the few that existed were enormous, their footsteps enough to shake the ground.

"Boss, over there!" Ellie pointed.

It was a towering volcano, covered in massive rock fragments.

Inside its crater stood a nearly collapsed pyramid—three times larger than the biggest pyramid on Earth.

Leonardo saw countless monsters digging at it.

Even without orders, they worked willingly—because the process itself granted them strength and even levels.

(Boss, do you want to dig too?) Ellie asked.

(I’ll just watch. By the way, have you tried entering using Invisible Mode and teleportation?) Leonardo replied.

Invisible Mode allowed them to pass through walls.

Combined with teleportation, it should be even easier.

Ruins weren’t like gates.

Gates led to separate dimensions—impossible to enter unless opened.

Ruins, however, were buried structures.

If they could bypass the physical barriers, maybe they could enter directly.

Of course, this was just Leonardo’s theory.

(I didn’t think of that... Boss, should I try?)

(Yes. Try it.)

(Okay!)

Ellie shot toward the pyramid.

Leonardo didn’t expect success—but if it worked, it would be incredible.

Ruins could contain either little or many treasures.

But if they contained little, those items were usually priceless.

(Boss, it worked. I’m inside. It’s an underground chamber.)

Leonardo: "..."

(You’re serious?)

(Yes. I see treasure.)

(What is it?)

(A skull.)

(What kind of skull?)

(A Diamond Skull... similar to the Silver Skull you obtained before.)

"Diamond..."

Leonardo inhaled sharply.

Silver Bones weren’t too rare.

Gold Bones were extremely rare.

But Diamond Bones—they were practically priceless.

They could transform the entire body into an indestructible diamond form.

If he remembered correctly, only two had ever been discovered in Awakener history.

This wasn’t something to sell.

It was meant to be used.

Leonardo would even consider becoming a Knight just to use it.

(Take it. Quickly!)

(Boss... I can’t.)

(Why not?)

(There are chains of light binding it. I can’t even teleport it.)

(Any monsters there?)

(None... The chains seem connected to the pyramid above. Maybe the ruins need to be destroyed first.)

(I see...)

Leonardo began thinking.

Using an Element Bomb Orb?

Or spreading news so more people would come and destroy it together?

The second option seemed more efficient.

True Shadow.

Leonardo created a shadow and sent it flying toward the gate.

The shadow materialized near it—

and coincidentally, he saw Elsa and Mary arriving.

He approached them directly, startling them.

"Anderson, are you and Margaret officially dating?" Elsa asked.

"How did that even happen? Did you seduce her?" Mary added, clearly in disbelief.

"Does that matter?" Leonardo frowned. "It’s none of your business."

"Of course it matters... Margaret is our princess," Elsa said with a smile.

"Still none of your business."

"So it’s true... Hahaha, this feels like a dream. That arrogant Margaret actually likes a man."

"...Enough."

Leonardo’s tone turned cold.

"I have a task for you."

"A task?" Mary looked confused.

"Spread the news—there’s a ruin in the Hot Desert."

"What? Seriously? Wait—we shouldn’t spread it. We should dig it ourselves—"

"I said spread it."

"Why would you do that? If word gets out, people from other layers will come too!"

"You don’t need to think about that. Just do it."

Leonardo’s gaze sharpened.

"Or do you want to deal with Margaret?"

That single sentence was enough.

Both of them immediately fell silent, their expressions turning stiff.

Leonardo no longer paid attention to them and left immediately.

When he reached a secluded place, he dispersed himself—the version that was only a shadow.

His real body was still standing before the pyramid.

Not long after, his expression turned serious.

He saw the figure Ellie had mentioned.

A man clad in black armor.

It was a knight’s armor—majestic and imposing.

Even more astonishing, the figure was riding a black winged horse, its body covered in metallic scales.

Leonardo instantly judged it—

S Class.

Without being a Beast Tamer, it was still possible to control monsters through certain artifacts.

However, unlike a Beast Tamer, such control didn’t allow the user to borrow the monster’s abilities.

Even the armor worn by that figure was clearly extraordinary.

Leonardo couldn’t help but wonder about his identity.

Even Margaret didn’t possess such an overwhelming presence.

Either he had obtained tremendous fortune—

or his background was anything but ordinary.

But no matter who he was...

Leonardo would still take that skull.

Becoming enemies with anyone—

didn’t matter to him at all.
