Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: The Rule-Breaking Secret That Shook the Empire!

Astorius narrowed his eyes as he heard what Lucius had just said. “That’s impossible! All recorded history states that if a tamer tries to contract a beastman, their talent is erased! That’s been the rule for centuries! There is no exception!”

Lucius only smirked as he locked eyes with Astorius. “And tell me, Astorius, what would you think if I told you… that rule only applies to King-level talents and below?”

Astorius’ body tensed a bit as he clenched his fist and growled. “What did you say?!”

Lucius chuckled, shaking his head. “It’s simple. Emperor-level talents do not follow the same rules. That’s why you never knew about this, Astorius.”

He gestured toward his own contracted beastman. “No one in the Empire’s history has ever had a true Emperor-level talent.”

He pointed his finger at Astorius and shook it. “Not a single one and even those with talent like yours… they never dared to try. They were just too cowardly to test the limits of their talent.”

Karion, still kneeling from his injury, clenched his fists tightly. “Bullshit…”

Bryson, who had been massaging his temples, let out a deep sigh. “Lucius… You really are insane. You don’t need to say so much bullshit.”

Ragnar crossed his arms as he glanced at Lucius and sighed. “Just admit that you’re lying, Lucius, so you can safely walk away from this fight.”

But unknown to Ragnar, his wife, Savra, was staring at the beastman. She was shocked the moment she realized who the beastman was.

Lucius only laughed, shaking his head. “It seems you’re all too stupid to realize the truth. Then let me show you.”

Without breaking eye contact, Lucius lifted his hand and summoned his beast portal again.

The beastman turned without hesitation and walked toward the portal. There was no resistance. No backlash. No interference.

The moment the audience saw this, they couldn’t deny it anymore. Lucius had truly tamed a beastman.

Astorius was so shocked that he was frozen. His entire understanding of beast taming had been shattered.

“This… this isn’t possible. There has never been a recorded case of a tamer successfully contracting a beastman. How…?”

Karion was just as shocked. He had spent his entire life believing that beastmen were untamable.

They were closer to humans than actual beasts. And yet, Lucius had just proved him wrong.

Not far from them, Ragnar and Bryson were equally stunned. They exchanged a brief glance.

Lucius never told them about this ability when they got their Emperor-level talents. They even had no idea that this was even possible.

But then—almost simultaneously—the shock turned into something else and it was excitement.

Bryson smirked as he flexed his fingers. “So… we can contract beastmen too?”

Ragnar was also the same as he chuckled. “Lucius, you really like to keep secrets, don’t you? Still… this is interesting.”

While the others were focused on Lucius’s words, Savra was focused on something else entirely.

She was shocked as she stared at the beastman standing in front of Lucius.

Something was wrong as memories flashed back to a fusion she had seen before.

Savra had seen Luna fuse with Loxen before. She had seen the transformation with her own eyes.

This beastman, who was standing in front of Lucius, looked exactly like that fusion.

Her fingers trembled slightly as her thoughts began to explode. “No way… could it be… that Lucius was not only able to tame beastmen… but also human tamers?”

The very thought sent a chill through her. This wasn’t just shocking but terrifying.

Savra glanced at Lucius, who stood there, smirking confidently as if he had everything under control.

She didn’t say a word yet, as she needed to talk more about this later in private.

Because if her suspicion was correct. Lucius was no longer just breaking the rules. He was outright rewriting them.

Lucius calmly poured tea into his cup. He lifted the steaming teacup and sipped it casually as if the battlefield before him was nothing more than a casual afternoon affair.

He glanced at the audience and then at Karion and smirked. “Now that everything is clear, let’s start the battle again, shall we?”

Loxen or rather, Luna moved. She melded into the shadows and vanished as if she were never there.

Karion frowned as he took a defensive stance. He knew now that Luna was too fast for him to chase.

Because of that, He used another method, which unleashed a violent surge of thunder around his body, which will hurt anyone who attacked him.

A barrier of lightning sparked dangerously as he growled. “Try it now, coward! You think you can attack me from the shadows again?! Come at me!”

But Luna was already behind him and before he could react, she grabbed his wings and jumped, putting both of her legs on his back.

Karion was shocked as he felt her legs press into his back, her arms locking around his wings and pulled them immediately.

“GAAAAH!”

A cracking sound echoed across the battlefield as Karion’s wings were forcibly bent backward.

His entire body jerked violently, his thunder barrier flaring wildly, but Luna didn’t flinch.

She held on and tightened her grip on the wings as she pulled harder, forcing his bones to strain under her strength.

Karion gritted his teeth, trying to fight back, trying to summon more lightning to break free. But it didn’t work.

His thunder energy flared to their maximum output, but the crackling electricity didn’t even leave a scratch on Luna’s moon-infused form.

Lucius only chuckled, watching the scene unfold with amusement. He put his teacup down and muttered. “It’s pointless, Karion. You were never going to win this battle.”

Lucius looked at their stats once again. By normal standards, their stats should have been equal but Luna’s stats had one major difference.

Her stats were almost at peak due to the 500% bonus granted by her Moon Goddess fusion.

Lucius only smirked as he watched Karion struggle in vain. He raised his teacup again and drank again. “Now then… Shall we end this?”
