Beast Taming: Start With A Dragon Legion

Beast Taming: Start With A Dragon Legion

Plot over smut!!! Knox Aston transmigrated into a beast taming world where summoners are regarded as powerhouses and celebrities. As the heir of the prestigious Aston household, a family renowned for producing elite summoners. Knox was expected to summon something magnificent at his awakening ceremony. But instead, before hundreds of witnesses, he summoned a wingless, rough-scaled drake barely the size of a dog. The crowd laughed and his brother turned away, while his family cut their funding and wanted nothing to do with him. What no one saw and no probe could detect, was the ancient castle that appeared behind Knox's eyes: the Dragon Vault, a sealed tower holding the greatest dragon army in existence, waiting for a keeper worthy enough to free them one by one. The small drake they mocked was Ignis: Commander-class bloodline, dormant evolution path, and the only being on Blue Star Planet whose resonance could unlock Dragon Anchors, the ancient seals trapping dragons across the continent. In a world where power determines worth, Knox will prove that the smallest flame can start the largest inferno.

Chapter: Chapter 80 — The Last Breath Before The Quake
The Vorul moved before the last word left him.WHUMP. It crossed the marsh in a single low rush, so fast the mud barely kicked up under it, and Knox's body dropped its own weight and threw itself sideways before his mind had caught up with any of it.[Weight Sync Activated.] [Mana: 121/200 → 116/200.]He twisted. Too slow. The claws that had been aimed at his throat missed it by a finger, then raked down across his shoulder and over his upper ribs, and his academy coat opened in four lines. The blood was running warm under the cloth before the pain even reached him.Knox stumbled back. His eyes were still catching up to where the thing had been, not where it was. It had crossed ten feet of marsh and opened him up and he'd never once seen it clearly. His breath came late and ragged, and that scared him worse than the speed had.The Vorul watched him figure it out."You are quick," it said. It sounded almost pleased. "Quicker than the little ones should be. But you cannot read my move

Chapter: Chapter 79 — The Flare Above The Marsh
THWACK.Knox's knife caught nothing but air.He spun toward the sound, braced for Rellan's hammer catching the arm, the shell guard holding the line.Rellan was still standing.That was the first thing Knox saw, and for half a breath he was confused because Rellan was on his feet, upright, facing the Vorul the way he'd been a moment ago. Knox face suddenly changed.The shield guard that should have been between them hung open in two broken halves in the mud. The Gravelshell Tortoise lay sprawled beside it, legs still twitching. And Rellan was standing because the Vorul's arm was holding him up, buried to the wrist in his chest.He stood still swaying slightly."No—no, no, no—" Marcus screamed it and kept screaming it, going backward through the mud on his hands, not even trying to stand, the word breaking apart high and raw until he ran out of air, dragged in another breath, and started over.The Vorul pulled its arm free.SCHLUCK. It came out slick and dark to the elbow, a rope of

Chapter: Chapter 78 — The One-Spike
Cold.That was the first thing, before the shock even caught up. A cold that came off the mist and settled into the back of Knox's throat, wrong for the marsh, wrong for the hour. He was staring at Calder's head in the mud, at the man who'd been threatening him with the board a breath ago, and the air over the whole path had changed. The insects had stopped. The water had stopped moving. Even the reeds held still, like the marsh itself had decided to stop drawing attention to itself.The fear came down on all of them at once.It wasn't the fear of a beast. Knox had felt that already today, the boar, the rats, the clean animal jolt of something wanting to eat you. This was under that. Deeper and colder and uglier, the kind that started in the body before the mind caught up, every part of him quietly certain that whatever stood in the mist was not supposed to be here and that being near it was already a mistake.Calder's body folded down into the water behind him.Orven made a small,

Chapter: Chapter 77 — Still Growling
The marsh went dead quiet after the splash.Nobody wanted to be the first to move. The mist sat low over the black water, the scratched route stone glowed weak behind them, and the rats lay open in the mud where they’d been cut, cores already gone.Then Ignis growled.It came up out of his chest low and locked, smoke slipping between his teeth, his claws spreading wide and pushing furrows into the mud.Knox felt the bond pull tight, and he knew the sound was wrong before he could say why. He’d heard Ignis angry. He’d heard him smug and hungry and insulted and territorial. He had never once heard him sound like this.“We should stop,” Knox said, breaking the silence. “Reassess the route.”Calder sniffed. “We’re barely past the outer line. Stronger beasts don’t wander this close to the forward camp, and whatever’s splashing around out there is well inside Grade-C tolerance.” He let it sit. “The point of a field assessment is to meet beasts, Morales. Not to flinch every time the water m

Chapter: Chapter 76 — First Blood in Greyfen
The camp noise died behind them one step at a time.By the third route stone Knox couldn't hear the dock chains anymore, just wet leaves dripping, insects, something calling far off in the trees, and the slow suck of boots pulling out of marsh mud. The Eastern Marsh Line ran along a string of dull blue route stones half-sunk in the ground, and the mist sat thick enough that each one looked farther off than the last until you were almost on top of it.Calder walked at the back."Let's be clear before we're in it," he said. "This isn't an escort which means that I am not here to pull you out of trouble.”He paused. “I watch, I write things down, and if something's actually about to kill one of you, I'll step in then and not before. Otherwise you handle it." He started placing them without slowing down. "Marcus takes front. Rellan, you're middle. Kessa, you've got supply and the core log. Orven, eyes on the markers. Morales—" a beat, "—rear-left."Knox's jaw set. He pulled his pack up

Chapter: Chapter 75 — Eastern Marsh Line
The howl rolled out of the treeline and kept rolling, low and long, and the mist over the camp shivered with it. The ward crystals on the corner poles buzzed, a thin rising hum, then went quiet again.The students stopped unloading. Heads came up all down the line, eyes wide, and even Knox felt something cold walk up the back of his neck before he could tell it not to.Calder laughed, short and dry. "That's Greyfen saying good morning. You'll hear worse before dark. Keep moving."Bram drifted in at Knox's shoulder. "Marsh Stalker. That's what made that. Big one, by the throat on it." He said it casually.Knox gave him a flat look."What? You think I just talk?" Bram looked genuinely wounded. "My brother's a senior. He sat me down and grilled me on every ugly thing in this zone before I left. I'm the only provisional here who actually knows what's trying to eat him." He sniffed. "You're welcome, in advance."Knox blinked. Somewhere under the noise of the last week he'd never once stopp

Chapter: Chapter 20: I’m Not Dead Yet
The blue words kept flashing rewards but he barely saw them at all. His focus was entirely on the next target. The next threat to eliminate.The vampire who'd thrown Seraphina against the wall tried to escape into the shadows and disappear.Aurelius was faster than shadows.He caught the vampire's ankle and dragged him back across the ground. The vampire clawed at the dirt desperately but couldn't break free from his grip."Wait," the vampire said with fear clear in his voice for the first time. "We can—"Aurelius stomped on his head hard.The vampire's skull cracked against stone with a wet crunch. He tried to heal using his regeneration, but Aurelius stomped again. And again. Until there was nothing left but pulp and bone fragments.[PERSONAL KILL CONFIRMED]The lead vampire watched her forces getting torn apart like paper and how Aurelius moved through demons like they were nothing but obstacles in his way.She was fast and experienced and had fought countless battles.But when she

Chapter: Chapter 19: Take The Fairy Alive
The words flashed blue in Aurelius's vision with cold clinical precision. They measured his failure like a merchant counting losses in a ledger.Something cracked inside his chest at seeing those words. Not physical pain but something deeper than that.But he couldn't mourn or even process what happened because the fight was still raging around him.Seraphina appeared behind another vampire with deadly grace. Her daggers flashed as she cut across his back and neck in one smooth motion that should have killed him. Blood sprayed from the wounds and the vampire staggered forward from the impact.She looked amazing in that moment. Fast and deadly and perfectly trained. Every movement was economical and precise.The vampire turned to face her despite the blood running down his back. He was still smiling even with his flesh torn open."Impressive," he said in a voice that sounded genuinely appreciative.Then he moved faster than human eyes could track.He was so fast that Seraphina barely re

Chapter: Chapter 18: Blood on the Border Road
The battle erupted across the narrow pass as the demons attacked from multiple directions at once.Aurelius's combat instincts took over immediately despite the chaos and his bleeding shoulder."Garrett, secure Lyanna!" he shouted while dodging another claw swipe. "Thomas, high ground! Roland and Bradley, left flank! Joseph and Philip, rear! Seraphina, shadows! William, keep James moving!"His knights moved instantly despite the shock of facing supernatural enemies. Training overrode fear as they formed a defensive half-circle around the broken wagon and the supplies they couldn't afford to lose.Thomas scrambled onto the tilted wagon frame and nocked an arrow with steady hands. Roland and Bradley raised their shields together and braced for impact. Garrett pulled Lyanna behind him while she shook with terror at the creatures surrounding them.Seraphina moved into the shadow of the rocks without a word, already planning her strikes.The three vampires stood back from the main fight and

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Road To Shadows III
Enhanced reflexes let him move while the bandits were distracted. He threw his dagger with inhuman speed and accuracy. The blade buried itself in the leader's throat before the man could shout a warning. Blood sprayed across the fallen leaves as he dropped his crossbow and clutched his ruined neck gurgling as he fell. The other bandits panicked. Some tried to shoot while others dove for cover. Their wild shots went wide as Aurelius's knights attacked from multiple directions. Garrett's sword found a bandit's heart while Thomas strangled another with his bare hands. William limped forward on his wounded leg but still managed to drive his blade through an enemy's ribs. His enhanced speed let Aurelius dodge crossbow bolts that should have killed him. He moved like a ghost between the trees, his sword finding throats and hearts with perfect precision. The last bandit tried to grab Lyanna as a hostage. His dirty hands reached for her hair while he pressed a knife to her throat.

Aurelius glanced at her surprised. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing," Seraphina replied with false sweetness. "Just noting how much she adores you. Must be nice having someone look at you like you're perfect." The comment stung because it came out of nowhere. Aurelius frowned but kept walking. A few minutes later, when Lyanna stumbled again slightly on the uneven path, Aurelius steadied her with a hand on her arm. "Careful," he said. "So protective," Seraphina muttered under her breath. "Such a gentleman." "Is there a problem?" Aurelius finally asked as it was apparent, something was wrong somewhere. "Problem? Why would there be a problem?" Seraphina's smile was razor-sharp. "You saved the innocent fairy. You're the hero. Everyone thinks you're wonderful." The knights exchanged glances. They could feel the tension building but weren't sure why. "What's this really about?" Aurelius asked, stopping in the middle of the path. Seraphina stopped too, crossing her arms. "

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Road to Shadows
The sun climbed higher while they packed their stolen wealth into rough sacks. Five hundred gold dragons made a heavy load even split between eight men. The enchanted weapons added more weight to their burdens. "We need rest before we move," Sir Garrett said. Dark circles shadowed his eyes from the sleepless night. "Half of us can barely stand." Aurelius looked at his knights. They'd been fighting and running for two straight days. Sir Thomas swayed on his feet despite the healing potion. Sir William's face was pale with exhaustion. "Two hours," he decided. "We sleep in shifts. Four men on watch, four resting." They found corners in the broken warehouse where they could lie down on moldy sacks and cracked wooden crates. It wasn't comfortable but it was better than falling over from exhaustion. Seraphina curled up near Lyanna like a protective sister. The fairy sat with her back against the wall, too afraid to sleep. Every little sound she heard made her jump. "It's safe," S
