New law of Beast Taming

Everyone held in their screams as soon as they noticed that a monster had emerged from the water. The main body of the monster looked humanoid but nothing else about it was human.

Especially the tentacles that emerged out of the monster's body looked ferocious and ready to tear down anyone who tried to approach.

"Hey, that body! Isn't that Lily's? What is she doing? Does this mean that Lily is alive?"

One of the sisters noticed the familiar face of the monster and pointed this out. Once that observation had been made, everyone else turned to look at the monster as well and noticed the familiar face in front of them.

Mixed feelings of joy and annoyance passed through their eyes as they noticed Lily's body being used to attack them.

"Fuck, we cannot let them get away with this. We need to do something to stop Lily from attacking us all. Hurry, attack her back."

Sister Helen quickly ordered since no one else seemed ready to move or act. She had to be their voice of reason.

But commanding all these sisters was not an easy task to handle. Especially since a few of these sisters seemed not to be interested in what Sister Helen had to say or to hurt anyone.

"No! We cannot hurt Lily. S-She managed to crawl back from the dead for us. We cannot betray her trust in us like this."

Sister Camellia pointed out as she quickly ran and stood between the other sisters and Lily. She did not even know why, but her instincts were making her want to protect Lily's body.

"Camellia, have you gone mad? That thing is not Lily no matter how much it looks like her. It is just a monster who is out to kill us all. You will also get killed if you do not let us hurt that thing."

The other sisters cautioned Camellia, wanting her to come back to her senses. But Camellia held firm and refused to move. She could not afford to lose Lily again.

And that made all the other sisters hesitate to attack Lily as well. They did not want to hurt Camellia in the process of ending Lily's life.

"All of you are foolish. You need to learn to do the right thing no matter who is standing in your path."

Yoko's voice was firm as it echoed through the clearing. Camellia quickly turned toward her in horror as she watched Yoko raise her hand and Lily's body was bound in chains.

The magic being emitted from Yoko Tsurugi was weird and she seemed a little unstable right now. She was unable to control her power. And instead of restraining Lily, the force caused her to get squeezed.

"N-No, Lily! How dare you! I will never forgive you for what you did to Lily. She was not supposed to die like this. She was supposed to have a good and long life."

Camellia felt tears strike her eyes as she watched Lily's body fall. The power Yoko had used eroded Lily's body until not even the ashes remained for it.

"Yoko Tsurugi, are you alright? You look…"

Helen was not able to finish her words because she could not describe the look on Yoko's face. It was half a smile of satisfaction but also regret because the fight had ended far too soon for her liking.

"I am alright. Anyway, I will be sealing this place up permanently and serving its connection with the other dragon shrines. No one will be able to use them if I am alive."

Amane suddenly had the confidence in herself to be able to achieve this dream. She held her hand out and magic gathered in her hand.

The vortex was violent and it rushed at Amane at lightning speed. She handled it quite well and only flinched as the power tried to pierce her heart. But even that much was manageable.

The power Amane was borrowing from nature also had the magic of Rabelais. It burned to take this much power into her body.

'A little more. I just need to handle a little bit more.'

Amane continued to endure the magic until it bursts forth and formed a layer on top of the water. Slowly, it began to fill up and that was when the other sisters reacted.

"Hey, wait! You cannot close that hole right now. There are other humans in there that we need to get out. They do not deserve to be buried underground like this."

One of the sisters cried out as she stopped Amane. That voice was irritating and Amane decided to shut it up by following what these people wanted.

She raised her hand and the water instantly threw out all the human bodies from inside before a barrier snapped into place on top of it.

Amane tried to move but her body felt numb. She had used too much magic that was too powerful for her body to handle. Even standing and walking was an ordeal for her now.

"Oh wow! How did you manage to do that? How are you so strong? No, wait! We need to get these sisters and guests out of the danger zone first. We cannot allow them to remain in such a dangerous environment."

The other sisters ran past Amane and toward the unconscious bodies of the sisters. Amane wanted to help as well but she could find neither the will nor the power to move right now.

Her body protested doing anything and every time Amane tried to move, her whole body throbbed and flinched. She was hurting so badly from using too much power.

"Hey, are you alright? You do not look so good right now. Is there anything I can of to help you out?"

Helen asked this question with a cautious look on her face. She was hesitant to approach Yoko Tsurugi right now for some reason. Her instincts told her that she needed to stay away if she wanted to survive in front of a beast like Yoko.

"I am alright. I just feel a little faint after using too much power. I'll be fine after a little rest."

Amane assured Helen as she flinched and tried to walk. Moony's small but strong body was all that saved Amane from falling in the first place.

"About this place…what will happen to it? And to us? Will we have to pay a price for hiding all this?"

Technically, the sisters had done nothing wrong. They did not even know that such a huge burden existed beneath their monastery's space.

The only one who was to be held accountable was the head sister and for obvious reasons.

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to either you or this place. I will ask someone to relocate you all and those who have families can return to them after they get compensated. As for this land? Is this a government property?"

Amane would figure something out but she needed to know who she was dealing with and what in the future.

Some people were easier to deal with than others and depending on who this property belonged to, Amane could guess accordingly.

"This monastery? I don't think anyone owns it, not even the government. The topic was never brought up so I do not know. I am so sorry."

Helen apologized but Amane waved her apology off with a wave of her hand.

If Helen did not know, then it was alright. Amane already had someone who could answer all her questions.

"Head sister Karen, I am surprised to see that you did not run away from us while you still had the chance to. Have you finally seen the errors of your way and decided to cooperate with us?"

Amane asked as she approached the Head Sister with strict eyes. The head sister let out a crooked laugh as soon as she noticed Amane heading toward her.

"Even if I run away, I will be caught easily and then be thrown into the prison where I will have no rights or anything. Compared to that, I much prefer to be here. The cell I will be given might be uncomfortable, but it will be human, right?"

The head sister seemed to have a lot of demands for someone who was being held captive. Amane decided to let her have her moment for now.

"Hmm, I may or may not let you go. But for now, I need you to answer my questions. Those who are easily frightened or have a weak heart, look away."

Amane warned the sisters before she grabbed the head sister's head and turned it to face her. The head sister had not expected to be handled so violently so she was shocked.

Her head snapped up to look at Amane with quite a loud cracking noise that made a few sisters cry out in fright and they closed their eyes as well.

"Now then, will you tell me who this land belongs to? It would be wise for you not to try and be smart with me. I am not in the mood to indulge your foolishness."

Amane warned the head sister and she flinched. The sound earlier had scared her as well and her neck hurt a slight bit.

She did not want to experience such a situation again so she decided to go ahead and confess as much as she could.

"T-This land is owned by a private company called as 'Ferma.' Beyond that, I do not know anything. Believe me, please. This is all I know."
