It seemed that the air had suddenly frozen with the movement made by the eagle. Everyone was staring dumbfounded at Samuel, not understanding what was going on.
They could not understand how it was that the powerful eagle had just jumped and stood on Samuel's shoulder. And, just by looking at the eagle, they could tell that it was passionate about standing there.
It was Impossible for a beast that belonged to another person to do this to another person. There was only a single explanation here, this eagle was Samuel's beast.
But how was that even possible? Many of them knew about Samuel, considering that they had been there during the awakening, and had seen that during his awakening, the contract array had given a golden light that they did not understand at all.
But just then, as they thought of the golden light, they suddenly remembered. The moment that the eagle had dealt with the three star monsters, there was a golden light that had shot out of the body of the eagle, enveloping the remains of the bodies of the three star monsters.
And after the eagle had killed the lion, there was yet another golden light that had enveloped the body of the golden light, before going back into the body of the eagle.
As they added the clues that they had, they immediately linked that golden light to the golden light that appeared during the time that Samuel was awakening.
And as they finally understood, they just found it difficult to come into terms to what had happened. This was definitely something that was never recorded even in the entire history of mankind.
A person that had awakened, had already become a four-star beast tamer in just a matter of a week? Was that even possible? Or, was this just the level of a genius that Samuel was?
Ordinary geniuses could develop faster as compared to ordinary beast tamers, and the same applied to super geniuses as they could develop way faster as compared to ordinary genius.
So, could it be possible that Samuel was at a level that was even beyond the supreme geniuses? Supreme geniuses were just legends, but even in the legends, what had happened here was something that the supreme geniuses could not do.
William approached Samuel, looking at him as if he was looking at a monster. He just found it difficult to believe that this youngster who was not even a beast tamer less than 1 month ago, had suddenly become stronger than himself.
Of course, he was happy about it, as he understood that he was definitely part of the contribution to the current strength that Samuel had. It was clear to him as to why Samuel had been so insistent on gaining the pills.
It seemed that Samuel had a method of using those pills in order to be able to improve his strength. As for if this was just temporarily or permanent, it did not matter. In any case, this was a huge trump card, even if it had been exposed.
In any case, nobody among the people around knew about the specifics of how Samuel had been able to get this strong in such a short time.
"Thank you Samuel for your assistance. Without you taking action, this city would have been destroyed." Patrick expressed his gratitude towards Samuel.
In order to become a city lord, one had to be of origin of the city. The reason why that was the case was simply because those above did not want a situation where the city Lord would run away in case a city faced a monster tide that it could not handle.
They just did not want someone to lead a city, gain the resources, but in the end, abandon its people when there was danger.
So, in the case where a city did not have a city lord, one of the residences who had higher talent would be taken away, in order to be trained, and grow considerably strong.
And during the time that they would be undergoing training, those holding the authority within this world would send someone to hold the position temporarily.
And after the improvement of the residence of the city, that person would be sent back to the city to take the position as a city lord officially.
Patrick had experienced this, after the previous city lord had ended up dying in a monster tide. This was the exact reason why his power level was way beyond that of the vice city lords, and other beast tamers within the city.
Considering that this was his own hometown, he was obviously attached to it. That was the reason why he was furious a few days ago when some people wanted to cause chaos within the city by fighting each other.
And in the face of the monster tide that he understood they had no chance of dealing with, he was still willing to sacrifice his life, just in order to protect the city.
And now that Samuel had saved the city, he was obviously thankful. Samuel had not only saved the city, but all the people within it, including his own family.
Samuel nodded. He was thankful that he had gotten the golden light within his body. He did not know about its origin, and neither did he know the intentions of that golden light within his body.
But regardless of the situation or the reasons, it was all good. After all, it was due to the golden light that he had gotten this strong, strong enough to be able to deal with the monster tide.
Several beast tamers immediately began speaking, expressing their gratitude towards Samuel. As for those two that had spoken to him before, they immediately expressed their guilt in what they had done.
Samuel did not hold anything against them, considering that they were only caring about the city, and they had said that when they thought that he was just joking around.
Considering that the issue of the monster tide had already been dealt with, it was time for the cleaning up. So, several people were assigned in order to deal with the remaining bodies of the monsters, at least those that have not been wiped out by the eagle and turned to ashes.
At the same time, Patrick decided to go to the other sides of the city, in order to understand the situation there. They had to understand how many beast tamers they had lost, before knowing the way forward.
Patrick decided that he was going to talk with Samuel later on after he had dealt with the issue at hand. And Samuel was more than willing, considering that he wanted to see what he had gained this time.
During the battle, after the eagle had taken action and it killed a single monster, Samuel felt that the golden light within his body was surging. It felt like the golden light wanted to get out of his body.
It was just that this golden light did not seem to be capable of getting out of his body, unless he allowed it. And more than that, it could actually get out of his body, then directly into the body of his beast, then out of the body of the beast.
That was what had happened on the battlefield. Instead of the golden light being seen coming from his body, it emerged from the body of the eagle.
As for the appearance of the eagle, at this moment, the eagle had already undergone some transformation, with a wingspan of 3 meters. It had already reached the four star rank, after he had taken the large number of pills back then.
But, right now, Samuel had realized that after the golden light came back into his body, it contained a large amount of energy. This energy had obviously been collected during the times that the energy had gotten out of the body of the eagle.
As for the source of the energy, it was obviously the monster cores. They had been collected by the golden energy, which was then converted into the energy that was currently within the golden light, waiting for him to refine.
Along the way, William was not really sure about what to say. He felt that it was just too overwhelming, considering that right now, he was seated together with the strongest person within the city in his car.
Other than that, he was obviously feeling grateful that he had brought William and the other kids to the city. If they had been taken by someone else, then, William would definitely be among those other beast tamers that were trying to ingratiate themselves with Samuel.
After they got back, Samuel told William that they would talk after he was done with something urgent. William did not hold him back, and allowed Samuel to get to his room, before finally exploring the golden light within his body.
But just as he was about to begin refining the energy within the golden light, he felt his vision suddenly blurring. And in the next moment, he found himself in a white space.
