The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Chapter 461 Cat And Mouse Chase

?

The sky was orange, covered in light pink clouds. Below tall buildings could be seen a banner with 'Santa Boys Hostel.' It was a five-story building.

On the balcony of the first floor, a silver-haired boy could be seen looking at the area around him. The cold wind blew his hair gently and made the view even better.

Taking a sip of his cup, he looked at the park just before his hostel. It was filled with grassy lawns, tall trees, fountains, and statues. It looked wonderful.

Another boy appeared on the neighboring balcony, his face hidden behind a skull mask. "What a nice place."

"That's nice; it's just decent," said Rishi as he looked at couples moving around openly in the park.

"How dare they? Don't they know it's similar to Blasphemy for me?" said Vinay as he covered his eyes. A chill presence radiated from him that could send shivers down the spines of anyone.

Rishi decided to help his buddy: "It's not his fault; he can't force people to make out openly."

The presence slowly returned, and the paralyzed body of Vinay moved again. He wiped his sweat and said, "Weren't you jealous of me? Do you want to have it?"

"What? I was immature before; now that I have changed, I am happy with what I have," replied Rishi as he sighed in relief before taking another sip.

They both stood there for some time, looking at the campus silently. Then, Rishi asked, "By the way, how did you get the 'Book of Death'? The story you told me makes it not hard to get."

Vinay sighed as he shook his head. "It was not because of that; Yakshini has her own will; she kept waiting there. Many people came, but no one was able to find her."

"There are certain things that one sees before they get the 'Book of Death.' They are all ridiculous. I only got to know them later," he replied.

"Let me tell you just some basic ones; you will realize how I got it."

"First, the one coming to find it should have a clear purpose.

Second, he should be a virgin.

Third: He should be Manglik."

"Wait, what's that?" asked Rishi.

"A fault created by certain Planetary position in the horoscope which leads to a bad marriage. The condition is that Mars should not be in the first or second house of the horoscope. Manglik also has types; mine is at the worst," replied Vinay.

"It's too confusing. Why did she choose you if the Manglik Fault results in a bad marriage? Wouldn't it be bad?" he asked.

"I asked the same question. She replied, That's for human marriage; she is a deity. In their system, this is not a fault but a fortune combination." replied Vinay.

"What about her previous chariots(holders)?" Rishi was curious.

"They could never fulfill the criteria; they summoned (envisioned) her as a mother or sister to get their hands on the 'Book of Death.' They were able to have it, but once they stopped following her conditions, they were all eliminated by her."

"Now that I think about it, I never congratulated you on your marriage," teased Rishi before rushing inside.

Vinay jumped at him, but he was already inside and had locked the door. Rishi chuckled from behind.

"I will tell Kajal, you were flirting with girls on campus. Then I will enjoy the show," threatened Vinay.

Rishi opened the door quickly. "Come on, Bro, it was just a joke," said Rishi. The first thing he got was a punch in the face.

He rubbed his face while Vinay jumped back, shaking his hand. "Shit, it felt like I hit a metal wall."

They both went inside and tried to pass the time but soon became bored. "Let's go for a walk."

Rishi agreed with him, and they both started leaving the room. Vinay interrupted him. "Where's your mask?" 

  "In my storage ring, why?" asked Rishi.

"Wear it; I don't want to get attention. You might also attract many toward you," said Vinay.

"It doesn't feel right to wear a mask for no reason; why do I need to hide my handsome face?" said Rishi.

"I would like to clarify; I was talking about boys when I said you might attract some," said Vinay before rushing outside while chuckling.

"You wait; I will not let it go this time," said Rishi as he charged at him. They both started moving at a breakneck speed.

The moment they passed by the stairs and corridors, it appeared as if a storm had passed. Many were disturbed by them, but they disappeared before they could teach them a lesson.

"Who are they? I will make them clean the floor in front of my room. I wasted all my efforts," said one student furiously.

Multiple sudden remarks were made, but no one knew the perpetrator; those two were fast. Only their blurred figures were visible.

"This idiot, it was just a joke. I can't stop now; he is not in a good mood. Let's make him circle the college; he will stop when he sees that they are in front of everyone," thought Vinay as he cast his spell again and increased his pace.

Due to multiple turns and obstacles, Rishi could not attain his top speed. However, with only Mana Veins, he could follow Vinay easily.

Vinay knew about this, so he chose paths with turns and obstacles; he simply teleported behind them while Rihsi had to slow down.

While having fun playing their cat and mouse game, they forgot that they could cause trouble for others intentionally.

Vinay was sweating heavily, and he noticed Rishi was just about to catch up to him. He was tensed; he used a teleport spell and moved very far.

Rishi was preoccupied this time; he used 'Shadopw Blink' repeatedly and appeared near him. He then used 'Shadow Steps' and charged at him.

A turn appeared; Vinay turned first, and Rihsi was just a meter behind him. It was then 'thud' that he found himself colliding with a girl.

The girl was caught off guard, but she still had multiple defensive skills. The momentum of Rihsi broke apart most of her skills, and she collided with the wall behind her, which resulted in the destruction of the wall.

"That's what you deserve; try to poke me again." Rihsi laughed; however, it was then that his eyes fell on the skeleton near him, which had a grin on his face and was showing his middle finger to him.

He punched it and broke it into pieces. "This slippery bastard"
