The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Rishi and Vinay arrived at the training hall, and Rishi said, "Vinay, summon it. I want to see how much it has changed."

Vinay nodded and took out his book of contracts. His book of contracts was very different from normal ones. It looked ancient and mysterious; it had a big skull in the center, above which the 'Book of Death' was written. The title was glowing green, while the book had a purple hue.

Rishi asked, "What happened to your 'Book of Contracts'?"

"It's a long story that I will explain later, for now just remember that it is a grimoire now," said Vinay before summoning his contract beast. The summoning was also different from usual, A big gate appeared behind Vinay, which opened, and a big creature emerged.

It had sharp hooves, a long tail of green energy, a body of bones, long slender legs, and a thick neck while its head was elongated.

There was a big, long horn on the left side of the contract beast and a mane above its neck made up of a greenish aura. Its eyes were hollow, on which a greenish flame was burning.

Its whole body was covered in black miasma. It came to Vinay and rubbed its head; Vinay also touched its back.

Rishi used his "inspect" ability, and a window appeared before his eyes.

Type: Mounting and Fighting

Element: Undead

Grade: Elite

About: An undead magic beast known for its speed and loyalty.

Strength: swift movement speed and high physical and magical defense.

Weakness: Its power is decreased by 50% when fighting in the sun for a long time; it is weak against light spells.

"It's already of elite grade; do you want to evolve it into epic?" asked Rishi.

"Not now. I plan to use it as a mount for my other contract beast, which is sufficient for it," said Vinay before summoning his other contract beast. It appeared from a normal portal; It was a humanoid beast with a big sword in his hand. It wore shiny white armor all over its body and stood in its place as a statue.

"This is my second contract beast; it is of elite grade, but it is made of a metal element, which is unsuitable for me. I have changed my job class; It gives all my undead contract beasts a huge boost. I want to evolve it into an undead element contract beast," said Vinay.

"So that's the matter," said Rishi as he came close to the contract beast; he circled it and analyzed it from top to bottom. "Oh, humanoid magic beasts look like this."

He used the third mode of the 'inspect' skill to see its evolution paths. A screen appeared before him.

[Choose the Element]

Element: Fire, Sword, Earth, Fire, Undead

Rishi picked up the undead element, and the evolution paths appeared before him.

1.) Undead Knight (Elite)

2.) Skeleton Swordsman (Elite)

3.) Death Knight (Epic)

The first two options looked good, but the third option got Rishi's attention. He looked at it again before clicking that option to learn more about it.

Death Knight (Epic): A being emerged from the death of a faithful knight with a powerful will to protect their master even after death. It has a very high physical and magical defense, while its attacks are covered in a death aura that debuffs any opponent it comes into contact with. It is an ultimate warrior that will protect its master in every situation.

Evolution Conditions:

1) A suitable mount of the same grade as the undead element.

2) Necromancer's Essence

3) the corpse of an undead knight.

4) A necromancer with bone manipulation skills

"What happened? Why do you look surprised? Is there no way to turn it into an undead?" asked Vinay in a worried tone.

"It's not that; there are two evolution paths that can turn it into an elite-grade undead," said Rishi.

"Then what's the problem?" asked Vinay.

"There is one more evolution path," said Rishi before taking a short breath and adding, "That can evolve your contract beast to epic grade, but."

"But what?" asked Vinay in an impatient tone.

"The conditions are tough," said Rishi.

"What are the conditions?" asked Vinay.

Rishi explained to Vinay all four conditions before adding, "The first and third conditions are easy, but where will we find a necromancer? It's a very rare class."

"Ha ha ha ha," Vinay laughed before saying, "Leave the third and fourth conditions to me."

"Do you know a necromancer?" asked Rishi.

"No," said Vinay. Rishi was confused when he heard that, but he was surprised when Vinay said, "Why would I look for other people when I am a necromancer myself?"

"That's cool," said Rishi. He was happy because his guild would get the rare class, Beast Tamer.

"What is the name of the elite-grade evolution?" asked Vinay with a curious look.

"It's called 'Death Knight,' " replied Rishi.

'He is lying. How can he know about this evolution?' said a sweet female voice in Vinay's head.

Vinay asked, "Rishab, are you sure it's 'Death Knight'?"

"Have I ever lied to you?" said Rishi. He put his hand on Vinay's shoulder and said, "Let's meet other guild members; we need their help to clear the undead dungeon."

Rishi asked Ajit to arrange a guild meeting in the evening; he separated from Vinay and returned to his apartment. Today Rishi was defeated for the first time, which made him realize that he is not unique and other people are better than him.

This loss has also taught Rishi that he needs to focus more on fighting with his contract beasts and learn support-type spells and techniques like "Soul Link" or "Beast Transformation."

Vinay was going back to his room and talking to himself, "He is my friend; I met you because of him."

'That boy is strange; I need to keep an eye on him,' said a female voice.

'You are worrying for no reason, Yakshini. I am telling you one last time: don't touch him.'

'What will you do? Don't forget who is the boss,' said Yakshini.

"I will date other girls if you do anything to him," said Vinay.

A dark aura appeared in Vinay's body, and he felt as if thousands of needles were piercing his body; he fell to his knees and cried in agony.

'Say that again!' said Yakshini while laughing. 'It's the first time, so I will let it go with a little punishment. Don't repeat that again. I will kill the whole family of the girl and then torture you every day till you give up the will to live,' said Yakshini while laughing menacingly.
