Chapter 773: Widespread Beast Taming [2]

Deep inside the temple, Nox stood near the base of the statue, his palm resting lightly on it. He could feel it—the flow of energy being channeled into Terra’s form. The goddess’s presence was faint but awakening.

Her voice whispered softly in his mind, like wind through the trees.

“Nox… what you’ve done… it restores us.”

He closed his eyes. “You’ve been silent for a long time.”

“Because we were forgotten,” the voice said. “When mortals stop taming, we lose power. We fade. But now… they remember. The bond between man and beast lives again.”

The statue pulsed violently, and a beam of light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds. The crimson hue of dawn was replaced by gold. Across the kingdom, people stopped and looked up as the heavens rumbled.

Something vast stirred in the realm beyond.

In the pantheon of mythical Beast Tamers—the divine domain where the old beast gods resided—the sudden influx of energy was like a storm.

Terra sat upon her grand throne, her face beaming with a bright smile. Her body glowed with radiant light.

Around her, the other beast deities were also enveloped in the same brilliance.

“This feeling… ahahahah! It’s been ages since I’ve felt this again!”

“The mortals remember us!”

“Finally…”

And amid the chaos, Terra’s presence expanded—stronger than ever. A satisfied smile formed on her lips.

Back in Cromwell, the awakening continued for days.

In recent years, unknown to him, Nox’s constant battles alongside his beasts had made the Beast Tamer class incredibly popular.

Besides, the other traditional classes were becoming outdated—the masses wanted something different.

Thus, the children who had reached the age of awakening embraced it wholeheartedly, far surpassing expectations.

The world was changing—and everyone could feel it.

News spread quickly. Children were awakening beast partners even in the smallest towns. The Beast Tamer class was no longer a myth—it had returned.

At the Royal Capital, Nox stood on the temple’s balcony overlooking the city. The air hummed with mana. He could see flocks of beast familiars soaring between towers—eagles, ravens, even a few tiny dragons. The world looked alive again.

Jack approached with a scroll in hand. “All the others from the neighboring towns have awakened too. The phenomenon has reached even the border regions.”

“How many in total?” Nox asked.

“Over two thousand so far.”

He didn’t react immediately—just nodded slowly. “Good. It’s a start.”

Jack sighed. “At this rate, if you keep going like this, it’s no different from creating a new order. People will start worshipping you for this.”

Did he want worship? Not really. Nox never cared for that—he was simply carrying out the reason he had transmigrated to this world in the first place.

“Still,” Jack said suddenly, “not everyone will be happy about this. The mages and warriors are already complaining that you’re drawing away their recruits. They say you’re leading people to worship beasts instead of gods.”

It was something Nox had thought about once—but that was a problem for the future, not now.

—

Three days later, the awakening reached its peak.

The temple could barely contain the influx of people. Because of the Vermilion Kingdom’s close proximity to Cromwell, even border towns heard the news and came to awaken their class.

Of course, Nox would never turn down such an opportunity, so he welcomed them with open arms. Besides, he and the current king were war comrades, bound by a friendship forged in countless battles. He was confident the king wouldn’t see any issue with his actions.

‘If I continue this and manage to build temples in the other kingdoms as well, then within the next decade the entire human continent will be filled with Beast Tamers.’

An ambitious light flashed across his eyes as he began sorting through plans in his mind.

These plans centered on expansion and funding for the construction of more statues.

The following day, Nox, Serena, and Akira, along with Jack, headed out into the Luminary Forest. A large cart filled with dozens of cages—crafted by worker ants—moved ahead of them.

“What exactly are we doing again?” Jack asked as they trudged through the forest.

Nox led the way at the front, with Serena and Akira walking in the middle while Jack stayed behind.

“We’re going to catch monsters for the new batch of Beast Tamers,” Nox said, enthusiasm clear in his voice.

Sometime later, they reached a clearing.

The area was wide, sunlight spilling through cracks in the canopy. The air smelled faintly of moss and damp soil.

Serena glanced around, scanning the treeline. “Looks empty,” the archer muttered, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

Nox didn’t reply. Instead, he crouched and touched the ground. The faint vibrations beneath his palm told him everything he needed to know. “Three-legged boars. Two, maybe three of them. Nearby.”

“Boars?” A subtle frown appeared on Jack’s face. “Aren’t those a bit too big?”

“They’re good for starters,” Nox replied. “Tough hide, easy temperament once tamed. Beginners won’t die handling them.”

The bushes rustled, and moments later, two massive boars burst into the clearing, tusks gleaming like polished stone. Behind them, a smaller one followed, snorting aggressively.

Jack raised his weapon. “You want me to—?”

“Trap them alive,” Nox ordered. “We’re not hunting.”

Catching the monsters alive wasn’t easy—in fact, it proved far more difficult than anyone expected.

During the process, Jack, Serena, and Akira accidentally killed a few. Of course, that wasn’t the case for Nox.

As a Beast Monarch, monsters were naturally intimidated by him. His mere presence radiated a quiet dominance that beasts instinctively obeyed.

When he stepped forward, the boars froze mid-charge, their heavy bodies trembling as their eyes flickered between rage and fear. The smallest one squealed softly and lowered its head, almost bowing.

Some time later, Jack clapped his hands. “That’s about it.”

The sounds of caged beasts filled the air as worker ants crawled over the cages, tightening vines and metal bindings.

Nox made a quick count with his eyes and noted about a hundred beasts—enough for a start, at least for those ready to tame their first companion.

Furthermore, Gabriel had ordered the ants to capture even more beasts. With their unmatched work ethic, Nox was sure they would gather plenty before the week ended.
