Chapter 61 - Bastian Smith (2/2)
The puppy was about to act when it realized something. The red it saw was not just an illusion, the environment was becoming red! A red mist was permeating from Will's body and filled the puppy's line of sight bit by bit. Due to the baleful aura coming from the mist, the puppy could not help but be cautious and wait. As the mist spread the puppy noticed something else.
'It…it is getting colder!'
The puppy quickly felt the temperature around it drop, the surface of the debris around the duo was slowly beginning to frost over as the temperature got lower and lower.
The puppy was no fool and quickly realized that this was Will's doing. It decided to bite the bullet and attack Will before he did something else dangerous. But unfortunately, it was a step too late.
Like a specter, the wide-eyed Will appeared in front of the puppy and slashed down vertically.
So fast!
Will shocked the puppy with his speed and completely caught it by surprise. It couldn't even expand its paws to block properly as a red slash hit its guarding paw.
Like a comet, the puppy flew back and landed into a broken down apartment building. Will did not chase, he simply stood where he was and waited for his prey to come out. Within seconds, the puppy had indeed come out, but there was a change.
A gash had appeared on the paw that Will had attacked and it was bleeding black blood profusely. Before Will could make his move, a prompt arrived in front of him.

There were plenty of words in the information that was given that would send a normal user into a frenzy. God Beast? Divine treasures? Trick the system? Doom on a world?
The puppy had lost its full control to mask its presence from Will, thus it knew that its identity would be exposed. It believed that the moment Will saw what it was he would realize the peril he was in. It was feeling a lot of pain, but it was too prideful to allow Will to see this so it tried to appear calm.
Yet Will didn't care. He only had one goal. Annihilate. Nothing in the information he was given was going to change that. Seeing that Will remained unfazed the puppy finally got angered to its limits.
It didn't even waste time thinking and revealed its true form. It became the size of an elephant and its fur became black with some brown on its paws an face. Its large, sharp teeth had drool running down them and its eyes shined an eerie red color. It was growling and its massive body emanated a regal presence that would make most want to bow.
As far as Will was concerned this dog was now two things: prey, and a pit-bull terrier.
