Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Bryne Family Estate.r

The walls erected around the estate stood proud, announcing the rise of this small Family whose grace and glory had been slowly dimming over the centuries.r

The wall was firm and thick, with multiple armoured guards stationed over and before it, scouting for potential threats and managing entry as well as exit into the guarded lands behind them.r

The stretch of trees was the same as always – each tall and looking like a mix between eucalyptus and weeping willow trees – leading up to the three large buildings ahead in a beautiful, cool shade interlude that looked more picturesque than before, especially with the lively sun today.r

Clearly, the new hired hands were doing a marvellous job at tending to the greenery around the estate. Outside of the pathway guided by the trees, a sweet verdant enclosure could be spotted from peripheral vision, with sprinkles of strategically placed colourful flowers of different kinds that gave a unique aesthetic.r

The artisans who had been employed to make the estate look good prioritised maximising the creation of a grandiose picture in the welcoming frontal area, even going as far as to remove everything other than the three main buildings that ruined the natural beauty. It was breath-taking.r

From there though, bizzaredom took hold.r

Within the space between the large trees where slanted, ethereal lasers of sunlight forcefully barrelled past the defence of the canopies to leave white dots on the flat ground, a figure riding a strange beast could be seen.r

He was adorned in a white armour that refused to reveal his body underneath, a freakishly long cape draping behind him.r

He was astride a large beast that measured nearly three meters in height with the build of a bison but the head of ram, thick mana reinforced muscles pulsing with ready-to-work powers twitching under its shaggy golden brown furs.r

Swollen and massive, ivory horns could be spotted over this beast's head all curled into a circular shape like a coiled millipede. Several grey joints along the twist of these horns sporadically flashed with a harsh white light as the creature slowly took steps ahead, from its nostrils brutish breaths bursting out at random intervals.r

As Red Rage rode his beast, which had evolved twice during the last Cluster raid, he couldn't help but don an invisible coat of pride. This was the creature he had named Bull 1, the strongest of its kind within the Pelvic Arbiter's collection.r

The Infinity Charge Bull Ram was its race after evolution, a creature that could theoretically increase its attributes infinitely just by galloping in a single direction!r

A procession of similar creatures – though two Tiers behind – took humble steps behind Bull 1, their temperament with their glowing silver eyes showing a certain giddiness. There were roughly 50 of them, from Bull 2 to 50.r

When the group reached the end of the stretch of trees to the wall, Red Rage patted Bull 1, making the beast turn around to go back towards the direction of the mansions.r

This time, through the intimate connection he shared with Bull 1, he gave the order for it to charge freely ahead.r

Bull 1 was ecstatic!r

He raised his frontal legs and released a hot breath along with what a common man could only describe as a masculine bleat... and then bolted forward, its lesser followers making way!r

The first stride it made covered a hundred meters in an instant, a foggy mash of grey, black and white being left as a streaking trail in the air by Bull 1 as it stormed forward!r

A surge of power burned under the creature's shaggy hairs and when it galloped its next steps, it streaked past four hundred meters in an instant, and this was merely it holding back to make this last a bit longer!r

Soon, beast and caped humanoid were facing the new Bryne Estate main mansion which was so large and beautiful, the previous one couldn't even be compared to it. r

It towered over everything in the estate at a height of close to 150 meters, its girth nearly 100 meters from a frontal view. A humble shade of golden peach could be seen over its exterior with a particularly marvellous design at its face crafted to inspire nothing but awe. Even the grand double doors looked a bit too fancy.r

Around the mansion a collection of tall, meaningful statues were erected, the precious gems used to make them glistening under the sun in the corners of the lawn covered front yard which was divided in two by a clean, rough pavement.r

More guards could be seen stationed around specific points outside the mansion with several individuals going in and out in an orderly fashion.r

On top of this, other inhuman protectors were also stationed around the mansion as if it was the most natural thing ever.r

Tall, chiselled beasts with a reddish hue over their bodies, long tentacles dancing from their faces, stood motionlessly at designated points, their bodies decked in quality, customised armour.r

These were the Virulent Taint Terrors, the evolved forms of the Venom Terrors, Killin 0 to 3. They were taller and thicker, their tentacles looking to carry a more treacherous form of venom now.r

Stationed around the other two supplementary mansions, similar but bulky Terrors with yellow skin, their thick arms and legs spotting blackish golden scales. These were the Crushing Bastion Terrors, the evolved Killin 4 and beyond Boulder Terrors.r

Red Rage looked at his collection proudly. He was happy that they had all gotten to these creatures to evolve so much, especially the more unique ones he had in his collection.r

The Pelvic Arbiter looked up.r

Above the main mansion, something huge was flying at a consistent height silently while accompanied by ten others of its kind, though their size being smaller.r

It was a huge white fly with expansive colourful wings.r

If not the shadow that it cast over the main mansion, most would dismiss its existence as even with the enormous size, this fly had a special natural property that allowed it to blend into the environment. Perhaps not visually but certainly aesthetically.r

This was Buzz 0.r

After evolving close to three times, it had become larger and more powerful, transforming into the Cryptic Clairvoyant Rainbow Drifter.r

This creature was by far one of the best guards for practically anything at all. It had the natural born ability to see multiple possibilities within its sectioned eyes, the target being at whatever it was gazing at.r

With its evolution, it was capable of a making short range glimpses into simple futures and with its link to Red Rage, it could convey what it had seen. The others behind it, Buzz 1 to 9 were capable of similar feats, though with infinitely less efficiency. Still, more flies were better than one. Right?r

'I think these guys will serve best the Estate. The rest I can't afford to expose,' Red Rage thought.r

This was his newly appointed station by Skullius. r

He was the Head of security at this place whenever Skullius didn't need him urgently. Of course he had freedom to go and come as he pleased but he couldn't neglect his primary objective.r

The people who were working here had been freaked out by these beasts at first but with time, they simply grew to accept the lie that this Knight in dazzling white armour was a powerful Tamer. It was believable, considering none of the beasts were ever hostile in addition to the fact that most of the people here didn't understand much about Energy Forming in general. They accepted it and moved on.r

It was reassuring to have all these strong protectors here actually.r

Red Rage disembarked from Bull 1.r

He then detached his long cape from his armour. and laid it on the beast's back. It was so long that it draped to the ground but the Arbiter didn't care. It wouldn't get dirty anyway.r

In the next moment, he walked into the bright surface of the cape, sinking in as if swallowed by a golden light.r

What appeared before Red Rage after a glaring light was a vast sea filled with waters that were saturated with highly concentrated mana. These were extracted from the ocean in Fortune and within their clear flow, one could count hundreds of Terrors swimming within – provided their sight could see miles deep – and others that nested in massive, beautiful civilisation of sturdy mud houses.r

Above the waters, a large city, the same one that Skullius had asked if Red Rage wanted, floated mystically, a calming stillness over it that the Juvenile Pelvic Arbiter was greatly fascinated by.r

His figure that was floating above the waters suddenly turned into a streak of light and appeared within the city that had long been cleared of the goblin corpses.r

Several mature and otherwise beasts had settled within it, most of them being Tier 4 to Tier 6 Cluster beasts already brought to submit under Red Rage.r

Many of them were beasts he wasn't ready to expose yet as they were too unique. r

'Brilliant. Once I tame the special goblins we captured, I'll decide which one will manage this city like how Killin Max managed the sea,' Red Rage thought with glee as he passed the normal sections of the city to appear within the inner part of the manor that had belonged to Hobbu Gogo.r

Within it, nine goblins, six captured within glass cubes and the rest laying unconscious while bound by special means could be seen.r

The Juvenile Pelvic Arbiter grew excited.r

The desire to raise more powerful monstrosities made him shudder in excitement and he readied [Second Chance] immediately.r

An Unlimited Shifter, an Imperial Elemental, a Bizarre Archer, a Gold Encompassing Mage and more.... r

Such wonder!r

The first four were the goblins he had captured himself so he knew their Classes but the rest were still unexplored, but equally or perhaps even more unique given that they were Hobbu Gogo's personal guards!r

With a quiver, Red Rage took the time to induct these poor souls into his convoluted army.r

He was very patient.r
