Chapter 332: Feera (1/2)
'Huh!?' If the Chimera disliked him because of his race, 'Then why did you accept the contract?' Tang Shaoyang was confused as to why the Chimera agreed to be his contracted spirit. He could not understand that.
—It's because you radiated a similar aura as Feera. we thought you were good like Feera so we agreed with the contract.
Their reply was like an innocent kid, too naive to believe someone they just met.
'I am not as good as Feera to help a stranger, but I am very good to my people. So, if you follow me, then I will treat you better. I will be protecting you from any dangers,' Tang Shaoyang went serious with his words.
'As for the normal life you want, I can tell you how humans normally live. I am good at it, but you need to be resurrected first before we can go for that.'
—Resurrected?
The Chimera sounded surprised when they heard that.
'Yes, we can talk about that later. I should give you a good name before I draw more beasts toward me,' Tang Shaoyang thought of a name, but then he reminded that the Chimera had been living with the mother till their adolescence, 'Didn't your mother give you a name?'
—We, Chimeras, will get our name when we reach adulthood, so my mother has not named me yet…
The beast went into a pause at the last part. Tang Shaoyang soon realized that he just entered a sensitive topic for the young Chimera. The spirit beast was emotional for an infamous fearful creature.
—But she has prepared a name for me, though I never heard the name since she and I died before I could reach adulthood.
The young Chimera continued with a sad voice. All three male voices were wavering, almost sobbing. However, the young Chimera managed to hold back from crying.
Tang Shaoyang had a good idea for the Chimera's name, but it was not an original name, 'What about Feera? Why don't you continue that name and also her will with you?' He tried to change the topic so the young Chimera would not be sad anymore.
—C-can we?
Their wavered voices rang in his head.
—No, we can't. We are a cursed creature, we don't deserve to have her name…
'Didn't Feera tell you that you are not a cursed creature? Shouldn't you trust her than the people who tried to kill you? Shouldn't you trust your family more?' Tang Shaoyang shook his head at the traumatized young Chimera.
The young Chimera spent most of his life hiding. Maybe that changed his beast nature, Chimera was supposed to be wild and fierce, but this one was living under constant fear.
'If you like her, you should take her name, and I believe Feera would not mind,' he persuaded the ancient beast. There was no reply from the young Chimera but he was sure they liked his idea.
'Alright, from today onward, you are no longer nameless, you are Feera!'
[You have named the spirit, Feera the Chimera!]
[Your contracted spirit accepted the name!]
Two notifications rang in his head as soon as he locked the name.
—We are Feera~
He could tell that the young Chimera was excited though it was a pity that he could give them his original idea.
After his business with the new spirit was over, he rose from the ground, ”Let's go back before another swarm comes.”
Only then he noticed that Li Na was sleeping with her head and back leaned against Moon. Tang Shaoyang shook his head and picked her up. He put the girl on top of Moon's broad back before they headed back to their temporary sleeping quarter.
It had been twenty days, as they stayed longer in the Fallen Land. They noticed that their smell seemed to grow stronger to the beast and monster. After fifteen days, they did not need to look around as the swarm of the beast and monster came for them instead within a certain period.
It was convenient but it was not the best idea if they wanted to look for more treasures. The Boss never went together with the swarm, it was mostly the army without the Boss. There was no Boss such as the Ant Queen which generated a treasure within the swarm.
Tang Shaoyang and Moon returned to their temporary base. It was square-shaped but made by Tang Shaoyang. Not the best hut they had ever had but much better than sleeping in the wild.
He built the hut next to the river, it was a shallow river with no creatures inside. The river was around his calf and he had cleared all the dangers around the area. A safe place for them to rest.
The feeling of succeeding in building the hut on his first try was quite satisfying. He stood in front of his shabby hut with his hand on his waist, smiling proudly upon his finest creation.
Tang Shaoyang picked Li Na from the Moon and carried her inside the hut. There was a wooden bed inside with leaves. That was the best he could do for their bed.
