Chapter 58 - This King (1/2)

...

As Letty was contemplating these things, the puppy finally took action.

Swoosh!

Its body appeared in front of the two as if it had materialized from nothing. Of the two only Will was able to follow its movements with his eyes... barely.

The little brown puppy narrowed its eyes and completely sized up Will, staring from the top of his head to his feet. After its viewing, a confused expression appeared on the puppy's face.

Will marveled at the puppy's actions. Even though it had the body of a dog, its face showed emotions like a human, to the point that Will was almost freaked out by it. Letty was born in the system so such a thing did not fascinate her. She knew that the more innately powerful a beast was, the closer it resembled a human in everything it did. In her homeworld, she had seen far more bizarre things, of course, that was under protection.

”This King believes you to be a worthy opponent human. Feel honored that this King has chosen you!”

All of a sudden a voice entered Will's mind and spoke to him directly. It was like the voice of a ten-year-old, but it carried an odd dignity to it.

'This dog can talk directly to people, and this feeling, it's using intent! Incredible!'

In his past battles, Will had never fought a demonic beast that could use intent before. Will assumed that they existed but he never thought he would meet one so early and under such...circumstances.

'This King? This puppy has chuuni? Oh, shit, a powerful demonic beast that can use intent and has chuuni? Looks like I have hit the jackpot. This King huh? Two can play at that game.'

”This Sovereign has always been worthy to battle thee; thou art just a puppy, tis as easy as breathing for this Sovereign to smite thee!”

The puppy looked like it had swallowed shit when it heard Will's response, for two reasons. Reason one was because Will had referred to himself as 'this Sovereign'. The puppy knew Will did not speak like this so it figured that out that Will was mocking it. This, in turn, enraged the little creature. But the second reason was like a bucket of cold water completely calming the dog. Will had replied to the dog with Intent as well!

Will was not familiar with the skill, but he simply tried to reverse the process the puppy had used, not to mention Will had spoken to the whole world like this before, now it was only a matter of targeting.

'A human that can communicate with intent, what kind of monster is this brat? The system has only been active for a measly five years. Five years! He deserves to die for mocking me, but he does deserve to call himself a Sovereign. Aye, he is most likely that Peerless Dao Master everyone has been making a fuss about. The voice does sound similar. Why is a Sovereign from a lower world so powerful? This King will relish eating him!'
