In no time, Seth came upon the entrance of the camp, an entrance made of two long poles stuck in the ground and around 8 meters apart.
The grin on his face still not going down, Seth swaggered into the camp, his eyes sharp and peeled open as he forgot his initial interest in the camp and its soldiers, his eyes scanning for beasts immediately.
Chaos described the current state of the camp, but it wasn't the devastating kind of chaos, just the little one where the soldiers were running up and down, hammering their heads on how to silence their beasts.
Looking around, Seth counted a dozen beasts, and of the few that stood out, he counted three rank 8 beasts and two rank 9 beasts with the rest of them being lower-ranked beasts
Two of the beast were of the same species, spotting two horns at the side and one long horn jotting out of their forehead, they had four thick limbs and a kind of rough cracked scales that covered their blue body.
As for the other three beasts, they were different species, one brown and possessing long legs with a small head, its red eyes being quite intimidating.
Another had a long black tail that connected to its black body which possessed a head and mouth filled with ferocious-looking teeth.
As for the last one, its red body gave one the creeps, as it coiled around its long body, watching everything around it and letting out a silent hiss.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOther than the snake which was silently watching Seth, the other beasts were letting out groans and low roars, fidgeting about in their sitting position or standing positions, showcasing a certain restlessness, but to Seth's shock also showing absurd self-control.
Whereas other beasts would do everything in their power to flee from Seth's presence, these who were unrestrained only became anxious, looking at Seth warily as they cautiously moved around.
Seung who was before Seth halted just a few steps after entering the camp, his anger at the beast's unruly behavior, showing on his face as he began scolding the poor men who were trying to calm the beasts.
Already well-tamed beasts which usually obeyed their orders were now suddenly ignoring the words of their masters and loudly screaming like they were soon to go on a rampage.
The scene before Seth while baffling did not take him long to understand when he noticed the lack of severe panic in the soldiers even as the beast became began acting strangely.
Seth's experience with slowly had proven that powerful and smart enough beasts could control their impulses to flee from him, so it only made sense that such beasts which had already been tamed would have the sense to face him with a bit of civility.
Unfortunately, Seth could not just free the beasts, give them a command and then have them begin attacking everyone in the camp.
Seth's mission here was to kill Zuroc, and until Seth had the man directly before him, he would like to keep up his image of an unknown guest, It will be pointless if Zuroc considered fighting him pointless and ran away.
Wanting to keep low at the moment, Seth was worried that someone might connect the beast's unruliness with his appearance, so he quickly moved to fix the situation.
Offering no warning, Seth took a left turn on his next step and began heading towards the rank 9 python-like beast.
"Where do you think you're going" Seung voice sounded, his figure quickly appearing in front of Seth.
"Your camp is noisy and disordered, such things make me disgusted, and seeing as your men are incompetent in taming these little beasts, I have decided to at least show one of the qualities that your army will enjoy were they to recruit me," Seth said starting with an annoyed expression and then a smile as he finished his words.
Seung scrutinized Seth up and down after hearing his words, and then asked,
"And how do you plan on taming the beasts," Seung asked.
"First I would like to talk to the snake," Seth said, pointing at the coiled-up beast a few steps behind Seung.
Seung stared at Seth for a few seconds, but in the end, moved out of the way.
Nodding his head, slightly, Seth continued his walk till he was right in front of the beast.
Three soldiers were standing beside the beast, nervousness visible on their faces as they moved a little around it, looking at its calm form from time to time.
A bit of panic entered the men's eyes when the red snake began letting out loud hisses in a particular direction, but when they turned and saw Seung approaching their fears were wiped out and they quickly stepped to the side
Despite towering above Seth and Seung, Seth couldn't help but shake his head at the thought that the beast still fell far short of Mama Slowly's monstrous height despite it ranking higher than her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot wasting a moment, Seth's face tightened up, and he began speaking, letting out a guttural sound as he growled at the beast before him.
A weird look claimed Seung's face as he stared at Seth, but just as he thought Seth a madman, he was surprised to hear the snake begin hissing back at Seth, and Seth gently nodding his head from time to time.
Not too long after, Seth turned to Seung, a complicated expression on his face as he opened his mouth to speak but silently closed it a few times, till Seung ran out of patience.
"Just tell me the problem" he almost roared.
"Hmm "Seth hummed and then rubbing his head he spoke.
"It said the other beast wants you guys to sing the song you sang to it yesterday, ad then they'll calm down," Seth said.
A few seconds of silence passed between the both of them before Seung nodded his head and then turned away from him and screamed at a certain soldier.
Without delay, the soldier rushed over to Seung, and after Seung spoke to him for some seconds, he turned back to Seth and said, "Let's go".
Offering no resistance, Seth began following behind Seung, watching as some group of men began running around, but then all of a sudden a short moment of silence was brought about when the red snake rose its head high and let out a loud hiss, one that resounded within the area and brought about a momentary silence before it rested it's head once more.
Not too long after, a song accompanied by instrumentals began sounding, Seth turned around to have a look at the soldiers actually singing for the beast.
"Are you a beast tamer?" Seung asked, his voice a little bit softer as he stopped and let Seth watch the musical performance of the soldiers which to his disbelief was actually calming the beasts.
"Yes, I'm the greatest beast tamer to ever live," Seth said with a laugh as he began moving forward, his movements inciting Seung to do the same.
