97 Chapter 97: A Puppy as a Partner (1/2)

Dylan couldn't understand what was currently happening at first. So he calmed down and analyzed what the puppy just said.

'The puppy said he was broke out from the rock after eating something good. By context, the puppy was from the rock-like egg and it has already developed into a half-conscious state today while it was still in the egg. This meant he must have unknowingly ingested something while lead it to break out. But it couldn't​ really eat anything since it was still in the egg.' Dylan started considering various things.

'However, that doesn't​ necessarily mean that he can't absorb energy. Why would it stay in the Cosmic God Mansion? It must have desired to incubate using the immortal energy within. The only thing that has happened to me was transforming my spirit core to the Supreme Core and I needed to use the hybrid energy from my bloodline​ and the medicinal essence of the herbs I used. So, the egg must have unknowingly devoured some of the hybrid energy which lead it to accelerate the puppy's growth!' Dylan swiftly enlightened himself after considering countless things.

”First, I did not trap you inside it. You must have instinctively searched for a suitable place abundant with high class energy to incubate yourself which lead you bro the mansion. Second, you must have awakened due to devouring the mixed energy of my blood energy and herb's essence.” Dylan quickly responded after his quick deliberation.

”Really? How is that possible?” The little guy could not under everything that Dylan said but he was able to get a gist of what happened to him.

”So, what do I do now?” The puppy impatiently asked.

”You can accompany me for awhile before we could figure out what you truly are.” Dylan suggested.

”Okay. I guess I would be force to take you in as my servant, huh?” The puppy tried to cross its two front legs and seemingly had an expression of frustration.

”You narcissistic rascal, if anything, you would be the one under me since you have ate my blood which means​ that you have to be my pet from now on.” Dylan teased the dog.

”What?! If I ate someone's blood, I will be their underling?!” The naive puppy was shocked by this new knowledge he learned.

”Hahaha, that's right.” Barry laughed in agreement and joined teasing the young pupoy. He was in a state of petrification for quite a while, unable to shake off the tiny feeling he had in the face of that thing the puppy showed them and was only able to come to just a moment ago.

When Barry came to, he heard Dylan speaking something about the young canine eating his blood energy in order to awaken and teased him that by doing so he would be his master. He decided not to pry right now because he could just ask Dylan later.

”Err... then, you must eat my blood as well!” The little puppy roared! He quickly jumped to Dylan's​ face in an attempt to make Dylan eat his blood.

”Wha~” Before Dylan could even react, the puppy was already on his face and being unprepared to this sneak attack, he fell backwards due to the force of the jump.

”Get off of me, you crazy dog!” The dog maybe small and cute but it's physical strength was something else! It's constitution was of great potential and without even needing to train, he overpowered Dylan with just his natural physical strength!

”Hahaha, eat this!” The dog furiously bit his paws and shove his bleeding paw to Dylan's mouth. Soon, drops of blood flowed down Dylan's tongue and slid down his throat.

”Get off him!” Barry aided Dylan by pulling the puppy out of Dylan's face. The puppy was really ferocious and unpredictable. It took their teasing too seriously! He distanced himself from Dylan to avoid the little dog to run rampant again.

”Hahaha, now we're even! You ate my blood too! Now you're my servant as well! Hahaha!” The little rascal triumphantly laughed even if he was being held by Barry.

”Pweh!” Dylan spit out all the blood he could. Despite his unwillingness, some of the dogs blood was already ingested by him.

Unexpectedly, a bizzare milky strand of light was formed which was latched on Dylan and the puppy. It was like a chain that connected them with each other as companions for life!

”This is a Master-Servant Beast Contract. No, it is quite different since the beast has given its blood willingly​, instead of the person forcefully making the beast submit! Not only that, there is a life link between them... This is a Beast Companionship Contract! But the way they did it was rather peculiar.” Barry's extensive knowledge has come into play again as he recognized​ the phenomenon that just happened.

A Master-Servant Beast Contact is done by, more often than not, forcing the beast into submission and coercing it to recognize the cultivator as its master. It is done by leaving a blood mark on the beast's body so that the user couldSeldom would a spirit beasts willingly agree to this contract but it depends if they were to recognize the cultivator as worthy due to his strength or potential. This is the type of method that most cultivators and Beast Tamers do to make a beast submit.

A Beast Companionship Contract was different. The two parties must mutually recognize each other as companions by offering their blood to each other and forming an identical mark in their bodies which will be linked by the life force of both man and beast.

This type of contract was seldom achieved as both humans​ and beasts are prideful creatures and will not accept the others as equals so easily. However, this type of contract will bring endless benefits because it will enable the two to be connected with one another and could even borrow a portion of their companion's strength temporarily by energy transfer through the life link that they have.

Such a boost in strength during a battle could very well be the deciding factor of who will slay who.

The reason why Barry described the contract as peculiar was because they did not have created the mark but ingested each other's blood instead. Despite not being the prescribed method, the two has now been bounded by fate.

”You mean I'm in a contract with the puppy? We're bonded by fate now?”Dylan was baffled. He knew what these beast contracts meant and by the way Barry described it to be, it was the type of mutual bond.

”Yes.” Barry awkwardly answered. Even he found it a bit absurd that they were able to form a life link through ingesting each other's blood.

”Glad, you know your​ place. Now, greet your master.” The bratty puppy domineeringly commanded. He escaped Barry's grasp easily and stood in front of Dylan. He misinterpreted what Barry just said.

”Don't get too ahead of yourself. It's a mutual contract which means that we are now companions.” Dylan clarified as he got up.
