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 20: The Hooktail Challenge
Knox arrived near the challenge arena for the afternoon session with Ignis on his shoulder. His body was stable after the mana pill and light training, but he was not fully fresh. The earlier tests had already dropped his mana, though it had recovered slightly to around 56/60. His wrist was wrapped, but the faint ache beneath the cloth told him it was not completely healed.He kept thinking about how fast Tobin had accepted the challenge. Tobin had a Rare-rank Hooktail Lizard, a higher rank, and more official match experience, yet he accepted instantly. That meant confidence. Knox understood this fight would not be like Venn. Venn had rushed because he was angry but Tobin had accepted because he believed he already understood how to beat Knox.The weekend challenge session had drawn students who wanted to watch fights. The crowd was not huge, but enough people pressed against the arena barriers to make the match feel public. Knox's name had started attracting attention after his defen

Chapter: Chapter 19: Tobin Marr
Ignis crouched low, his claws scraping lightly against the ground. A faint shimmer of mana gathered around his legs before he shot forward two meters. The movement was fast, but the landing was still rough. Ignis stumbled once before steadying himself.[Burst Step Activated]Range: 2 metersControl: UnstableStability: ImprovingPrimary Cost: Ignis StaminaBond Mana Drain: 3Knox Mana: 54/60 → 51/60Knox felt the small tug through the bond and clicked his tongue. Ignis’s Burst Step did not use Knox’s mana the same way Echo Step did, but because the trait was still unstable, every forced activation pulled a little mana through their bond. That meant Ignis could not spam Burst Step freely either. If Ignis pushed too hard, Knox would feel the cost too.After that, Knox walked to one of the wooden training posts and placed his palm lightly against it. He did not try to activate Tremor Palm fully as that would be mana waste and stupid. Tremor Palm was different from Echo Step.Echo Step pu

Chapter: Chapter 18: Names Above Him
Knox woke up late in the common dorm. Sunlight streamed through the window at an angle that told him it was already past morning. The other beds were empty. Most students were already outside enjoying the weekend. There were no classes today, no Professor Crane lesson, and no academy drills.Knox sat up slowly. His wrist still ached faintly, but the sharp pain from yesterday was gone. He flexed his fingers. Stiff, but functional. He checked his recovery status.[Recovery Status]Mana: 55/55Physical Strain:Lower Body Fatigue — ClearedRight Wrist Backlash — FadingMana Channels — StableRecommendation:Light activity permitted.Avoid repeated Tremor Palm activation.Knox dismissed the notification and looked at Ignis. The drake was still curled up near his pillow, breathing steadily. His legs twitched once, like he was trying to use Burst Step in his sleep. Knox did not wake him.Instead, Knox counted his silver. He pulled out the pouch from under his mattress and spread the coins on the

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Wrong Kind Of Attention
Knox woke up alone in the common dorm with his wrist still aching from Tremor Palm. His palm felt numb, his fingers were slow to close, and his legs were still sore from the recent fights and mission. He checked his condition.[Recovery Status]Mana: 34/55Physical Strain: Lower Body Fatigue — MildRight Wrist Backlash — ActiveMana Channels — Slightly IrritatedRecommendation: Avoid repeated skill activation.Ignis was still sleeping close to him, his legs twitching once like he was trying to use Burst Step in his sleep. Knox did not wake him. He understood they were both tired and that challenging anyone today would be stupid. He decided today was for rest, food, and recovery.Ignis woke up minutes later, hungry. Knox pulled out a beast feed pellet from his pouch and handed it to him. Ignis sniffed it suspiciously and made a disgusted face through the bond.“The rabbit tasted better,” Ignis complained.Knox was annoyed because the feed cost him silver. “Then make your own money and

Chapter: Chapter 16: When The Pulse Answers
As the first Tremor Mole went still inside the suppression sack, Knox felt the tremor pattern linger faintly in his palm. The system flickered.[Compatibility Detected][Progress: 1/?]Knox stared at the notification and waited. With the Swift-Horn Rabbits, Ignis had felt hunger the moment he pinned the first one. His instincts pulled him toward the essence. That hunger led to the Swift-Step Foundation and Burst Step. Knox expected the same reaction now. But Ignis only shifted his claws uncomfortably and looked away from the suppression sack. No hunger or pull.Knox frowned. If Ignis did not want the Tremor Mole, then what was the system reacting to?"Are you going to stand there all day?" Knox looked up. Serena stood near the next Moonroot bed with her arms crossed. Her expression was calm and unreadable, but her tone carried faint exasperation. "Whatever it was, you were waiting for, to happen," she continued. Her gaze flicked to the suppression sack, then back to Knox. "It did not.

Chapter: Chapter 15: Beneath the Warmstone Greenhouse
Knox arrived at the Warmstone Greenhouse with Ignis perched on his shoulder.The building sat on the eastern edge of the academy grounds, half-buried into a slope to keep the temperature stable. Heat rolled out from the entrance, thick and damp. Inside, rows of herb beds stretched beneath curved glass panels that caught the afternoon sun.Moonroot beds lined the center section. The plants had pale silver-white roots that glowed faintly under the soil. Thin mana lines ran beneath them, feeding the roots with steady energy.Knox wiped sweat from his neck as he walked deeper into the greenhouse. The mission still looked like dirty pest work, but the system had reacted differently.When he accepted it, only one message appeared.[Compatibility Detected]Nothing else.No explanation or reward preview.Knox did not know what the compatibility meant, but he could not ignore it.A middle-aged man in work robes approached. His sleeves were rolled up, and soil stained his hands. He looked Knox

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

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
