The Last Beast King
The age of harmony is long dead. In the current era, cultivators have turned the natural world into a slaughterhouse, harvesting the essence of beasts to fuel their own immortality. Beast taming is not just forbidden, it is a capital crime punishable by public execution. Asher is a nameless slave working in the high altitude meat processing plants, where the rarest creatures are butchered daily. He has spent his life in silence, until he unearths a rusted, pulsating relic deep within a forbidden mine shaft. The moment his skin touches the artifact, the world stops. He hears them. Every caged creature, every dying spirit in the facility, is screaming. But they are not screaming in agony. They are waiting for him. Asher discovers that he is the last of an extinct lineage capable of forming soul bonds. As he begins to unite the broken remnants of beastkind, he realizes that the hunters are not the only ones with a thirst for power. An ancient darkness is stirring, and if Asher cannot stop the cycle of hate between men and monsters, the entire world will be silenced forever.

Chapter: Chapter 136: DiscoveredThen you stay out here in the dirt,” Nia said. She glared up at him without flinching. “And you let Barton’s heavy guns chop you into pieces when the sun comes up over the ridge.” Asher stepped right into Scarface’s space until only two inches of cold air separated their faces. Scarface tried to stand tall, but his right shoulder twitched and pulled back just half an inch. “You carry yourself like a man who knows how to shoot,” Asher said. His voice dropped into a dangerous rasp. “Your palms are clean. Your hands are not the hands of a mechanic or a ditch digger. The skin on your right index finger is rough from pulling a heavy trigger.” Scarface said nothing. The rain ran down the deep scar on his face and made the pale skin glisten under the gray sky. “Barton pays his bounty hunters in salt, lead, and clean water,” Asher continued. “How much did he put on my neck?” Scarface’s left hand drifted two inches toward the left side of his leather belt. “I do not take orders from

Chapter: Chapter 135: Bloody iron The rain came down in heavy sheets, hammering the rusted iron of the old storage tank like a hundred small fists. Asher sat with his back pressed against the wet metal. Water ran down his neck and under his collar. He ignored it. Five paces to his right, Abigail knelt in the thick black mud. She opened the cylinder of her revolver with a quiet click, checked the six heavy rounds, and snapped it shut again. “You are going to wear that iron out if you keep spinning it,” Asher said. His voice stayed low, barely louder than the rain. Abigail did not look up. “It gives my hands something to do. Better than sitting here listening to the wind and counting how many enforcers Barton has on the ridge.” “Barton will not come down himself,” Asher said. His dark eyes stayed fixed on the treeline across the ravine. “He does not like mud on his boots. He sends other people to die for him.” Caleb came ducking around the back of the tank, boots squelching deep in the dirt. He kept his should

Chapter: Chapter 134: The weight of the stone Asher crouched in the damp mud near the entrance of the drainage tunnels. Water dripped from the rusted grates overhead and hit the concrete with a steady, hollow sound. Behind him, Caleb and Mara stood a few feet back with their weapons ready, eyes fixed on the tree line above. Inside the dark pipe, a dozen tired survivors sat huddled in the gloom. No one spoke. Everyone listened for the sound of boots or engines on the ridge. Abigail knelt beside him and wiped mud from her face with the back of her glove. “Caleb says the Syndicate scouts are sweeping the upper ridge right now. If they find this vent, we are trapped like rats.” Asher did not answer right away. He reached up with cold, steady fingers and pulled a rough, dark stone from beneath the collar of his shirt. It was heavy. One side was worn smooth from years of rubbing against his skin. The other side still held the old marks he and Marcus had carved the night before the hounds came. It was the only thing left from the

Chapter: Chapter 133: Valley Asher walked the ruined highway with the big grey wolf tight at his left side. The rain had stopped, but the road stayed slick and black under a low grey sky. Every puddle threw back a broken reflection of the dead buses and collapsed signs that lined the shoulders. Abigail kept a few paces behind him, her hand resting on the grip of her heavy revolver while her eyes cut across the empty rooftops. “We are getting close to the outer camp,” Abigail said. Her voice cut through the damp wind. She stopped near the skeleton of a burnt out bus and pointed down a steep gravel path. “That is where I pulled back when the Syndicate cut off my supply lines.” Asher halted. His cold eyes moved over the ridge. Tattered canvas flapped against bent poles. Dark stains marked the dirt where tents used to stand. “That is not a camp,” he said. “That looks like a graveyard with tents.” Before Abigail could answer, the brush to their right snapped with a violent crack. Asher dropped low. The digge

Chapter: Chapter 132: Iron and bone The mud sucked at their boots as Abigail moved past the rusted trucks. She did not look back to see if Asher followed. She kept her right hand close to her gun and her eyes fixed on the treeline. The rain came down harder now. It washed the smell of fresh blood off the pavement. “You move too fast,” Asher said. He walked right behind her. The big grey wolf kept step at his left side. “I move fast because Barton has spotters on every ridge,” Abigail replied without slowing down. She checked a mark on the paper map in her hand. “The eastern pass is wired with trip wires and old mines. One wrong step and we are both meat.” Asher let out a short breath. “Mines do not matter if the ground belongs to us.” Abigail stopped walking so fast. She turned her head to look at him and the grey beast. “You really think your little trick with the throat sounds is going to stop a Syndicate patrol?” “They are not a trick,” Asher said. His voice stayed flat and cold. “They know who feeds them

Chapter: Chapter 131: Bloody fog The knife cut through the damp air. Asher spun fast to face the grey mist. A huge wolf jumped out at him. Its fur was matted and grey. Its yellow eyes shone bright in the weak light. Thick saliva dripped from its teeth. But Asher did not try to kill it. He made a low sound deep in his throat. It was the sound the pack knew. It was the call of their king. The beast stopped right away. It dropped back into the mud and made a soft whining sound. It knew its master. “Watch your left!” Abigail shouted. She pulled out her heavy gun. She thought the wolf was going to tear him apart. She turned toward the broken fence and fired. The loud bang echoed through the salvage yard. A second creature fell dead in the weeds, its body twitching once before it went still. Asher looked at Abigail with cold eyes. “Do not shoot them,” he said. Abigail stared at the big wolf standing next to Asher. She watched the beast lower its head to him. Slowly, she lowered her gun. Rain ran down the scar
