The Strongest Beast Tamer 125 The Turtle's Concerns And Information

'What's wrong Hope? Why does it seem you're giving Lachlan death stares?' Phoebe asked with concern. Similar to her other turtles she named it Hope; due to it having the ability to predict future catastrophes it would also give them hope because they'll be able to avoid them or even prevent them.

'That young lad; my senses are going off in all different directions. My calamity senses are going haywire yet at the same time he's also the only one that's able to prevent the calamity' Hope responded in a wise old feminine voice, similar to that of a grandma.

'What danger does a calamity represent?' Phoebe asked with curiosity. From what Lachlan's told her, Hope can sense calamities, catastrophes, and any immediate danger to itself. But what's the difference between a calamity and catastrophe.

'From how I see it; calamity is an event that will result in a great loss of life while a catastrophe is some type of natural occurrences such as tsunamis or earthquakes. Since it's my calamity sense that's going off it'll have to do with a great loss of life, whether that be human or beast' Hope explained calmly. 'As for my initial reaction to it, I didn't even know how to react since that sense had never gone off to such a scale before. I've only ever encountered one other calamity but that didn't provoke even close to as big of a reaction'

'That probably has to do with his other half then' Phoebe replied. 'Unlike most humans, Lachlan has another soul apart of him, one which desires completely destruction and death. Fortunately, we know how to prevent it, it'll just take a great deal of time to do that which is why we're quickening the pace by travelling around the world in search of treasures that increase willpower'

'I think I know a place that could help, granted it'll be rather dangerous due to the nature of that place but it'll be worth a visit if it helps prevent a calamity' Hope said.

Due to her excitement Phoebe swiftly turned around and picked Hope up, she didn't even take notice that she wasn't using her internal voice. "Really? That'll be wonderful, so, where's this place?"

"Where's what place?" Lachlan asked as he tilted his head in confusion.

Phoebe's face went red. "Uh, I was just talking to the new turtle, Hope, she says there's a wonderful place that might be able to help increase willpower."

"Alright, that's some great news," Lachlan said before going quiet, letting Phoebe finish her conversation with Hope.

'It's roughly 100 kilometres away from this island eastward, an island shrouded in the aura of death, constantly tempting the mind into doing unspeakable things. However, successfully warding off these temptations should increase the willpower, there might even be something on the island that'll be able to increase it instantly to a certain degree' Hope explained.

'Is that dangerous? The other half might take advantage of a lapse in Lachlan's concentration' Phoebe told her concerns about the island since she wasn't exactly sure how the other half worked either.

'Well I'm not exactly sure either, it isn't as though I know everything about this so-called other half either. From what I know, this island will just increase willpower through a series of temptations; some of which should be easily blocked and others might be slightly more difficult' Hope explained as she rea.s.sured Phoebe that Lachlan should be fine.

'Alright, you're going to have to make sure we get to the island soon and in one piece' Phoebe said.

'Yeah, yeah, don't worry so much and relax, I have this covered, just spend some time with the young lad to make sure he knows the possible dangers of this island to him and I suppose everyone in the entire world' Hope said

'Don't worry I got this' Phoebe said as she unsummoned Hope before turning back to the group. "Alright, so fortunately, I have some greats news involving Lachlan's situation, a method to increase the willpower," Phoebe said proudly. "There's an island roughly 100 kilometres eastward, one which will constantly tempt you into doing something unthinkable, so stay focused."

"Alright then, I'll change the course we're going right now, let's hope that that turtle didn't lie out of spite," Lachlan said with a smile, Phoebe chuckled at the pun while shaking her head. Lachlan continued. "So does it know what's on the island?"

Phoebe nodded before turning back to Hope. 'You heard the question; what's on the island? Do you even know what's on the island?'

'Of course I know what's on the island, that's where I used to live but it was some real survival of the fittest on it. On this island, I can take life easy and relax, that was until you all came but that doesn't matter' Hope complained a bit before finally getting onto what Phoebe was wanting to hear. 'The island contains undead beasts, a lot of undead beast due to the nature of the island and the one that controls it'

'The one that controls it? Have you ever seen the beast before?' Phoebe asked with great concern, wondering whether or not visiting the island will be in their best interest right now.

'Of course, a great beast that shrouds the island with its deathly aura, the one that resurrects the dead and commands them with its mighty strength. It's also the first beast that made my calamity sense go off, granted to a much smaller scale compared to that young lad' Hope explained with a hint of fear in her voice.

'What does it look like? Is it large? Small? It'll be best if we prepare well beforehand' Phoebe said.

Hope nodded. 'Indeed, sorry for getting sidetracked. The beast is medium sized, roughly 5 metres tall and 9 metres long. Unfortunately I don't know anything else, due to the deathly aura I didn't stay for any long'

'Do you know where it spends a majority of its time? Will it be at the centre of the island or somewhere else?' Phoebe asked.

'It'll be at the centre alright, it has a temple that was built there for it and loves to spend all its time there' Hope explained.

'Great' Phoebe then turned back to the group. "Alright, so the island has a lot of undead beast, most of which are being controlled by one beast at the centre of the island inside its temple."

"So it's an intelligent beast?" Lachlan asked.

Phoebe thought for a bit before turning back to Hope. 'Is it an intelligent beast?'

'Nope, similar to that griffon tamed by the young lad it's just a beast that wields incredible strength, although it seems no different to those that you call intelligent beast due to it controlling many other beasts' Hope said.

"Alright, it isn't an intelligent beast but rather something similar to Aaron; a beast possessing great strength at its disposal, not to mention its undead minions that it creates through resurrection," Phoebe told the group what she was told.

"So it's basically an intelligent beast but stronger," Simon swiftly summarised. "It has the ability to resurrect the dead and control them which is similar to how intelligent beasts work, they just don't need their soldiers dead."

"But I will say, this one is mine," Simon said before turning to Lachlan. "I'll take care of this one, you aren't allowed to take it."

'Huh, suppose he stills has that grudge' Lachlan almost forgot about the time he took care of the intelligent beasts in Sydney singlehandedly. Simon was rather annoyed by that since he also wanted to have a good fight.

'How about we give him that good fight' Aaron said threateningly. 'I'll show him what true strength is, I'll also crush that arrogant Wildfire into the ground'

'Now, now, no need to get violent, we'll give him this one. After all, if this beast possesses strength similar to you then he won't stand a chance against it and all its undead minions, you four will be able to come out and fight till your heart's content' Lachlan explained, he felt through his soul that they were rather pumped up to fight.

'I'll crush that beast to the ground singlehandedly' Catastrophe said with confidence.

Aaron let off a slight chuckle. 'If that beast has strength anywhere close to mine you won't even be able to handle a sneeze from it'

'Alright, stop, stop, stop' Disaster immediately stepped forward to stop the arguing before it intensified. 'We'll decide what to do when we get there first, Catastrophe can get the first attempt at fighting this beast, the Aaron can finish it off if Catastrophe can't handle it'

'Oh I'll handle it alright' Catastrophe said before turning mute. Lachlan could feel that Catastrophe was pouting right now in annoyance.

"Alright Simon, you can take the first crack at it," Lachlan quickly returned to what was happening and decided he would give the fight to Simon. It would be good experience as to whether or not his four beasts can fight together in harmony.

Lachlan knew the three Rocs could fight together without any problems, that's the reason they were able to beat Aaron so easily and quickly in the cave. As for whether or not his four can fight together, he already knows the answer is a resounding no.

Although Aaron now possesses a strength that'll be able to contend against the combined force of the three Rocs. Granted that's entirely due to Aaron's aura which heavily suppresses everything, without it, Aaron would probably get dominated by the three Rocs.

After chatting a little while longer Lachlan unsummoned Aaron and went into the hut, where Sarah was taking a nap. Her body wrapped up in a fluffy blanket like a burrito.

Lachlan quietly walked up to the bedside and squatted down, giving Sarah a kiss on the forehead. He then looked back up at a mirror, one that got from Patagonia for convenient reasons.

--------------------------------------------------------

Lachlan still wasn't completely sure whether or not he'll be fine with using combined willpower of both his and all his tamed beasts. Whether or not it would work, not to mention he also wouldn't mind just being well above the estimate.

The only problem with that is that it'll take too long and with the world constantly advancing around him he needs to grow with it. To stay on top to stay in control over his own fate, stay respectable, and keep Sarah safe.

Although if push comes to shove, Lachlan wouldn't be completely against taming another beast right now. He just needs to find one worthy enough, or even a group of siblings worthy enough.

Lachlan decided to worry about everything tomorrow. He laid down on the best right next to Sarah. He took out the air stone and gave it some commands, bringing in a warm wind that swirled around their hut.

He quickly fell asleep.
