Talent Awakening: I, the Weakest Awakened, Start with Dragonfire Spell

Chapter 213 Chapter213-Shocking - Communication with Beasts!

Meanwhile, Stormwind City had plunged into chaos.

Stano's affection for Aurelia was unparalleled.

Upon learning of her abduction, he immediately rallied tens of thousands of soldiers to commence a meticulous house-to-house search.

The city gates were firmly sealed, eliminating any possibility of departure.

Countless servants, slaves, and attendants emerged from Lord's Manor, scouring the streets for any trace of Howard and Aurelia.

Their status might seem low, but one shouldn't underestimate them.

Having served in Lord's Manor for so long, they had all been trained in martial techniques and combat skills, regardless of their position.

In this world, there's no concept of awakening innate talents; anyone willing to cultivate could at least reach level 10 or 20.

This was unlike the Azure Sphere plane, where without awakened talents, one couldn't control magic or internal power.

Therefore, even these slaves, attendants, and servants possessed considerable combat abilities.

Not only them, but the major families also dispatched their members.

The patriarchs and matriarchs themselves approached Stano, accompanying him respectfully.

They had no choice but to join; at such a time, their absence would be equivalent to admitting guilt.

If Aurelia couldn't be found and Stano, in his rage, decided to obliterate their families, what would become of them?

It could be said that the entire Stormwind City was engulfed in turmoil.

...

At the same time, Howard gently broke the iron bars and stepped out of the room.

As the light had been emanating from within Howard, the room immediately dimmed upon his departure, startling Aurelia into a cry of alarm.

She quickly got up and followed Howard, clutching the sleeves of his garment.

After offering Aurelia a gentle reassurance, Howard approached the adjacent cell.

A quick glance revealed that the man he had been conversing with was still lying on the ground.

The man appeared unkempt from prolonged neglect, with abundant hair and a beard that concealed his face, making it difficult to discern his features.

Howard hesitated but decided against using a Divination spell.

The man was undoubtedly significant, and a sudden use of Divination might displease him.

Since Howard had resolved to rescue and ally with him, he refrained from actions that might be distasteful.

Moreover, if the level difference was too significant, the Divination spell would be ineffective.

"Elder, although I am unaware of your true intentions, I will remove your shackles. Should you wish to leave, feel free to do so after I've created chaos above,"

Howard said as he reached for the bars and, with a slight exertion of strength, shattered them.

Feeling this, the man sat up, his eyes bright and piercing from within his bushy hair and beard.

After carefully observing Howard for a moment, the man burst into laughter. "Interesting young fellow, if you and I do manage to escape, I'll grant you a significant opportunity!"

"Then I thank you in advance, elder."

With a slight nod, Howard refrained from further conversation.

Howard then moved to another cell, where he shattered the bars confining a fierce beast.

As the bars were broken, the creature inside immediately awoke, its eyes opening wide in confusion as it stared at Howard.

However, its intelligence was not particularly high, and without understanding the situation, it hesitated to act.

Unperturbed, Howard continued to break the bars of other cells.

The man, though curious about Howard's actions, remained silent, simply watching.

At this moment, the difference between humans and beasts became apparent.

When the beasts saw their cages open, even though startled, they just paced within their confines, none choosing to venture out.

It was as if the previous bars had completely bound their spirits.

In contrast, a human would have rushed out the moment the bars were gone.

Yet, beasts were easier to manipulate than humans. Howard's lips curled into a smile.

Utilizing the ability of his equipment, he spoke, "You have been captured for so long, you must harbor deep hatred for those humans. How about I lead you out, and you can take your revenge on them?"

For Howard, these beasts were not a rescue mission; he simply wanted to incite them to fight against those people, seizing the opportunity to escape their encirclement.

As long as he wasn't caught, even if still trapped within the manor, there remained a glimmer of hope.

However, as Howard spoke the language of the beasts, before the creatures could even react, both Aurelia and the man were utterly astonished, their eyes wide with shock.

They had never heard of a human being able to speak the language of fierce beasts.

Even so-called Beastmasters or those capable of controlling battle beasts relied solely on tools or skills.

Direct communication with fierce beasts was unheard of!

Fortunately, in the Obscured Celestial Realm, many legends circulated, so Howard's ability to communicate with beasts wasn't enough to make them suspect his identity.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a tiger's roar echoed through the space, which to Howard's ears, translated into human speech: "You are human. Why would you help us?"

"Why not?" Howard replied amiably. "Just as you orcs, despite belonging to the same species, battle due to different tribes, so it is with me and those people. I have a life-and-death enmity with them, and you are their enemies. Does that not make us allies?"

At his words, a chorus of growls and roars arose from the group of beasts.

They all felt underestimated!

Yet, they no longer harbored hostility towards Howard.

It must be said that the intelligence of these beasts was indeed very limited.

Even a level 80 beast possessed intelligence comparable only to a human in the early stages of development.

They didn't seem to fear that Howard might be in cahoots with those people, setting a trap for them.

Of course, this simplified things significantly for Howard.

After their initial anger, the group of fierce beasts gradually ventured out of their cells, cautiously confirming that there was no danger. Once assured, they roared triumphantly.

Howard quickly cautioned them, "Don't make noise, or you'll alert the people outside. You don't want to be captured again before even escaping, do you?"

His words caused the beasts to fall silent.

"We believe you now. However, we all have Beast's Binders on us, which restrict our power. Can you unlock them? Otherwise, even if we break out of the dungeon, we won't be able to utilize our full strength."

The tiger, seemingly the leader among the beasts, was the one primarily communicating with Howard.

Howard's gaze swept over them, identifying the so-called Beast's Binders as jade chains designed to block their vital energy. He stepped forward and effortlessly removed the binders.

The advantages of being from a different plane were indeed significant.

The unique jade not only sealed the vital energy of the beasts but could also block the vital energy of humans. Once trapped, one would become utterly weakened.

However, the power within Howard, while seemingly similar to that of the Obscured Celestial Realm, was fundamentally different. Thus, he was unaffected by the Beast's Binders and removed them with ease.

"Wonderful!"

"You truly are not with those people!"

"Without the Beast's Binder, as soon as we are out of the Sealing Stone's range, we can tear those villains to shreds!"

The multitude of beasts roared their agreement and excitement, as Howard continued to remove the Beast's Binders from them.

On the other side, Aurelia and the man, unable to understand the conversation between Howard and the beasts, were immensely shocked.

The man, in particular, pushed back his hair to reveal his eyes, staring intently at Howard.

After a long moment, he expressed his amazement, "Why does the Beast's Binder, forged from Celestial Ore, have no effect on you? Even the Sealing Stone, also crafted from Celestial Ore, seems ineffective!"

Hearing this, Howard paused momentarily, finally understanding what Celestial Ore was.

The mineral that resembled both jade and stone was known as Celestial Ore!

Of course, this was likely a general term, with more detailed classifications beneath it.

With this revelation, Howard breathed a sigh of relief, realizing the likelihood of his true nature being discovered was even lower.

Howard replied calmly, "Although I've lost most of my memory, I remember bits and pieces. I grew up with my master in the wilderness, which is why I possess the ability to communicate with fierce beasts and am not restricted by Celestial Ore. The powers I cultivate come from the essence of all things in nature!"

"As for Celestial Ore, it only enhances my equipment!"

"A cultivator of the mind, drawing from the essence of nature? Are you perhaps one of the rare Mind Cultivators?"

The man grew even more astonished.

Howard smiled as well, pleased to have elicited new information.

It seemed that being a Mind Cultivator was significantly different from common systems, which he might use to his advantage.

This was when having Aurelia by his side proved beneficial.

If it were just Howard alone, displaying such abilities, he would undoubtedly be suspected of being from another plane.

After all, there was a significant difference between him and a typical Mind Cultivator.

However, with Aurelia, a legitimate heiress of a well-established family, by his side, even if someone noticed Howard's anomalies, they would subconsciously try to fit him into the paradigms of their own plane.
