New law of Beast Taming

Every fiber in Helen’s body was telling her to not let the head sister catch her. And that was why when the head sister reached out for her, Helen took a step back with a frightful expression on her face.

Her sudden actions took everyone aback and they all looked at Helen with a confused expression on their faces.

So far, they all had thought that Helen was acting up to attract the head sister Karen’s attention, but they all felt as if something was wrong for the first time.

"Sister Helen, don’t tell me that you think that something is wrong inside the monastery and blame the head sister? She has been nothing but kind to all of us all this time."

"Yeah, how dare you point your finger at her and say that she is at fault here? You don’t know what you are doing."

One by one, more and more sisters turned their back on Helen. They seemed reluctant and angry to believe what she had to say in this matter.

’So, this is how it feels when everyone turns their back on you. I made Yoko go through this when I accused her of killing Lily. I should have been more careful when I approached her situation.’

Helen felt sorry for Yoko and she also vowed to make it up to Yoko once things would settle down.

No matter what the head sister had said to her, Helen was willing to believe that Yoko was alive and she would keep her promise to Helen.

And that was why, Helen needed to help clear this building out. She did not want anyone to die when Yoko would expose the secret underground place to all.

"You all, I know you do not believe me, but we do need to empty this place. It is not safe and…"

Just then, the monastery shook the earthquake took everyone by surprise since it was the first one, they ever had in the monastery.

The barriers around the monastery were supposed to protect this place from everything. Or so was what the head sister had told them all.

Now Helen had to wonder how much of what they were told was the truth.

"A-An earthquake inside the monastery? How is that even possible? The barrier should have…"

"Something is wrong with the barrier. I will give the emergency signal for everyone to get out of here. So, everyone, hurry up and run out."

One of the high-ranking sisters gave this order. Head sister Karen wanted to stop all this and trap everyone inside the building. But there was nothing she could do from her side.

She needed to maintain her mask and that meant telling everyone to run out and toward safety.

Within fifteen minutes, the whole monastery had run outside. They watched as a small dragon ran toward their building and butted it. Moony’s body might be small but her magic caused the whole building to shake.

She was trying to find Amane in the monastery since she could not feel her human presence.

"What the hell? Is that a monster as well? Hurry, we need to do something before…"

The monastery collapsed and the spray of water fell everywhere. A giant crack appeared in the place where the monastery had been seconds before and they all watched as a human emerged from the lime-colored pool.

Inhuman gold eyes looked up at everyone and Yoko Tsurugi raised her head. She looked annoyed but majestic when she stepped out of the pool.

"No way! What the hell is that? This pool! Where did it come from? Did it always exist beneath the monastery building?"

Everyone asked each other the same questions but Sister Helen paid attention to something else during this panicked time. She looked at Sister Karen and her wide-eyed pissed-off expression.

Whatever happened here had pissed off sister Karen. She seemed to be trying her best to keep her rage in check.

But nothing could hide her disappointment and anger at seeing her pet being killed off.

...…..

The water pulled Amane’s limbs down and breathing was getting difficult. At this rate, Amane was sure that she would die.

She could have accepted her fate right then and there and gone off the world quietly.

But like heck was she going to accept this fate? She was not going to die such a lame death when she had a lot of plans.

’Fuck this place and fuck the sisters. I was trying to be gentle so that this palace survived a little bit. But now, I am in no mood to show mercy.’

Amane could not use her magic but that meant nothing to her, the water was saturated with the magic of others and even the malice could be used as power when the situation was right.

The one who had discovered this had been Kori. She used to be a fellow scientist with Amane but they had lost touch after a huge fight. It had hurt at that time since they had been married.

But Amane tried not to think about that time much because it made her annoyed and angry. It had been one relationship that Amane had never been able to get over no matter what happened.

’Ugh, this is such a bad memory. I do not want to think about it any more than I must. Now, I shall excite the magic around me. Now then, rise and run rampant.’

Since Amane did not have control of her aura, it was possible that Amane would not be able to control her powers and it would end up causing a disaster. But Amane was not concerned about that at all.

She trusted Helen’s instincts to protect everyone and get everyone out one way or another.

So, Amane used her powers to break the surface of the water and proper it all out of the way. From there, she could only pray that this much force was not enough to excite Rabelais’s seal.

Moony rushed toward Amane’s side and warped her limbs around Amane. The young dragon seemed to be agitated and marking Amane for her own.

It was given why she agreed to Amane’s suggestion to stay behind. And now it seemed like Rabelais’s aura and smell as making her recoil. A stronger dragon could have that kind of effect on others.

"Calm down Moony. Rabelais is not here and she cannot hurt us. You need to calm down before your magic runs rampant."

Amane rubbed Moony’s back to calm her down. She knew how the young dragon felt but she could also not allow Moony to do as she wished to do.

They both needed to take care and be careful with the situation. They also had a cult/dragon following/SMP or something going on which did not interest Amane at all.

"Y-You! What the hell did you do to my beautiful creation? It took me so long to gather everything and to get my pet settled in. And you destroyed it all in a matter of seconds."

Everyone looked at Head Sister Karen after her confession. No one wanted to know what she meant by those words.

That lasted until Camellia turned toward the head sister with an almost sick expression on her face. Her eyes seemed to be a little lost and her face twisted in recognition.

"H-Head sister, don’t tell me you…but I trusted you so how dare you! Did you play with me? I thought it was all a dream, but did you?"

No one knew what Camellia was talking about. Heck, even Karen did not remember for a solid minute what Camellia meant by her words.

But then she remembered her experiment and hope returned to her eyes.

Karen did not need to live a long life. If she could see the results of her experiences, she would still be alright. She just needed to remind these people not to kill her for now.

"Alright, I admit that I was wrong. I should not have tried to perform my experiments in the open like this and I admit my wrongdoing."

"But if you want to know what all data I managed to gather, please keep me alive. I swear that I will tell you all you want to know and more. I will also tell you who was behind the dragon shrine incident."

Karen ignored Camellia’s question and faced Amane instead. Her eyes were strong and she was certain that she could not be killed off by Amane.

This confidence was the only reason Amane decided to let this scientist be for now. She wanted to see what the scientist would do in the future.

Was it a dangerous decision to make? Of course, this was. It could lead to a lot of potentially bad things happening in the future.

But what concerned Amane was the amount of advantage she could generate from this person’s knowledge.

And if not, then Amane could always have her killed.

"I see. So, I will keep you alive for now and extract all the information out of your mind later. For now, I have a few things to deal with."

"Things to deal with? Like what?"

Helen asked just as the surface of the water broke and a huge tentacle busted out of it."

"Well, things like that thing up there."
