Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Although Charles had become somewhat alert, he still had no way of knowing that one of the four most powerful beings in the “Constellation” organization, White Tiger, had already arrived in the underground area of Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.

So, Charles was still preparing to face the Stellar Empire crown prince as planned.

However, given the complexity of the underground area of Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis, and the fact that White Tiger was a creation of the evil god’s power, it was impossible for White Tiger to find Charles in a short time.

Charles was happy to let his enemy waste time.

As a result, there was no direct, intense battle between the two sides in the immediate term.

Meanwhile, outside the Atacama Desert, the world was undergoing dramatic changes.

The evil god’s gaze had locked onto the Ethereal Grove.

Despite the high-level Beast Masters on the Abyssal Great Wall giving their all to block the evil god’s power, the assault this time was far too overwhelming.

The majority of the high-level Beast Masters were turned to ashes by the evil god’s force.

The Abyssal Great Wall was heavily damaged in the attack, with a breach forming.

Because of this, the evil god’s power was able to penetrate directly into the Atacama Desert and use its strength to shape White Tiger.

The Atacama Desert, as the most remote region, became the last remaining area of survival.

The moment the breach appeared in the Abyssal Great Wall, the Haunted Marsh, one of the five domains of the Ethereal Grove, was reduced to ashes. The Great Wetlands and Winter’s Domain turned into hellish realms where terrifying monsters slaughtered each other under the endless flow of evil power.

Sandringham was condensed by the evil god’s power into a gemstone filled with dark energy. Half of the Abyssal Depths, where Charles was located, was completely destroyed.

As the other regions of the Ethereal Grove were destroyed, the high-level Beast Masters from those areas fled to the last safe zone.

This, of course, included Isolde.

So, even if Charles did not ask for Isolde’s help, Isolde would have come to him.

However, since Isolde had previously worked with others to resist the evil god’s attack, his arrival was slower than expected.

Among the surviving high-level Beast Masters, the first to arrive at the Atacama Desert was Charles’ bitter enemy, the dean of the Ancient Academy, Everett.

When Everett arrived at Gold Fortress, in a disheveled state, the members of the Ancient Academy in the fortress were shocked.

Harbor, along with Anke and Maxwell, personally went to greet him.

“Dean, why have you come here personally? You don’t need to worry. We can destroy Charles with our own power. Just give us more time.”

Harbor, who had always been calm, was the first to show panic.

He believed that Everett’s appearance here meant a strong disapproval of him.

Everett shot Harbor a cold glance.

Then, his gaze swept over the other members of the Ancient Academy.

“You all go back. I have important matters to discuss with Harbor, Anke, and Maxwell.”

He dismissed the rest of the members.

Once everyone had left, Everett took them to a completely secluded spot and revealed everything he knew.

When the three of them learned that the rest of the Ethereal Grove had been completely destroyed, their faces showed extreme shock.

Maxwell even thought Everett was joking.

“Dean, you can’t be serious, can you? The other areas of the Ethereal Grove are really destroyed? How is that possible?”

In response to Maxwell’s heated question, Everett didn’t even glance at him.

“This is the situation. The Atacama Desert is the last piece of land left untouched. So, we absolutely must control this land.”

Everett spoke with a venomous tone.

The reason he said this was because he had no more options, not even to ally with the evil god.

The evil god had already destroyed most of the Ethereal Grove, and for the evil god, the high-level Beast Masters who were killed would be resurrected as servants.

For Everett, a Beast Master, he was simply unnecessary.

The room fell into silence.

After a moment, Harbor spoke slowly.

“What the dean says is true. Since we have no way out, we must give everything we have in the final battle in a few days.”

Everett furrowed his brow.

“Why wait a few days for the final battle? Can’t we just fight now? The longer we delay, the greater the risks we’ll face.”

He was growing impatient.

After all, if he couldn’t control the Atacama Desert, he would have no place to go.

And he knew very well that, aside from himself, at least one other person would arrive here — Isolde.

Isolde was much stronger than he was.

So, Everett was eager to act first.

Harbor quickly explained why the final battle would not happen until a few days later.

After hearing this, Everett was even angrier.

“That’s just the ceasefire agreement you made with him. It doesn’t limit me at all. Since you can’t act, I will.”

With that, Everett left without another word.

Anke watched Everett’s retreating figure, a worried expression on his face as he turned to Harbor.

“Isn’t there a huge risk if the dean acts alone? Shouldn’t we go with him? After all, if the dean fails, we’ll be in serious danger too.”

Harbor dismissed Anke’s concerns with a wave of his hand.

He saw Everett as nothing more than a cornered dog now.

If what Everett said was true, they had no reason to continue following his orders here.

But if Everett was lying, then it meant he was in even deeper trouble, which is why he needed to fabricate such a huge lie.

“Let the dean do whatever he wants. We’ll handle our own business.”

With that, Harbor turned and walked away.

He didn’t go back to his room but headed straight for the central tower of Gold Fortress.

There, the other three artifacts from the Stellar Empire had been stored.

If Everett’s words were true, and the Stellar Empire was truly destroyed, he wouldn’t need to worry about them anymore.

He intended to claim those three artifacts for himself, securing an advantage in the upcoming battle.

After leaving Gold Fortress, Everett rushed toward Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis at full speed.

Midway through his journey, he suddenly ran into a familiar face.

It was none other than William, the man who had caused him a lot of trouble before.

“Why the rush? Half the world is destroyed. What’s there to be in such a hurry for?” William taunted Everett with his usual smug expression and voice.

Everett knew he wasn’t as strong as William, and right now, he didn’t want to waste time with him.

“What I do doesn’t concern you.”

With that, he tried to leave quickly.

But William suddenly jumped in front of him, blocking his path.

“Most of the high-level Beast Masters were killed by the evil god in the battle. Why weren’t you killed? Did you run away when things got tough?”

Everett’s face darkened.

At the start of the battle, he had joined the other Beast Masters to fight the evil god’s assault.

But as the high-level Beast Masters were pushed into a losing position, and when he believed there was no chance of victory, he chose to escape.

“You have no right to call me a coward. You didn’t even join the fight from the beginning. You just stood by, hoping to pick up scraps.”

After sizing William up coldly, Everett added, “In the end, you probably gained nothing. If I’m not mistaken, you were also chased by the evil god’s dogs, otherwise you wouldn’t be showing up here in such a sorry state.”

William smiled and nodded.

“You’re right, I didn’t participate in the battle. And I’m not some kind of saint either. The reason I’m stopping you here isn’t for any other purpose, but simply because I want to kill you and take your power.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, William transformed into a burst of colorful light and charged directly at Everett.

Everett’s eyes snapped shut, and he released his god-level mystical beast, Spirit of Fate, from the void.

Spirit of Fate had the ability to unleash endless Fate of Misfortune. Under the relentless barrage of this power, anyone who took action would only find their situation getting worse and worse.

The colorful light that William had turned into quickly began to disintegrate under the influence of Fate of Misfortune.

However, he wasn’t defeated in a single strike from Spirit of Fate.

He transformed again, this time into black light, using the shadow form to dodge the endless Fate of Misfortune.

Seeing this, Everett seized the opportunity to make his escape.

“To run away and leave behind your god-level mystical beast? Fine, if you’re not going to use it, then I’ll take it,” William said, smiling at the Spirit of Fate left behind.

His joy, however, didn’t last long.

Moments later, Spirit of Fate suddenly vanished.

As a god-level mystical beast, Spirit of Fate was perfectly capable of quickly returning to its master’s side.

Through this, Everett had managed to shake off William’s interference.

He could now continue on his way to Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis, but the time he’d wasted was critical. By the time he arrived, it was likely that Charles had already dealt with the threat of White Tiger.

At that point, it would be very difficult for Everett to defeat Charles quickly. Even though his Beast Master rank was much higher than Charles’s, Charles’s mystical beast was far stronger.
