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

”Whaaat?” The puppy felt like he lost something. He stood there feeling quite dumbfounded. Clearly, this was not the outcome he anticipated it to be.

”So do you have a name?” Dylan asked the puppy. Since he was already bonded with the little tyrant, he just accepted it as is.

It was not necessarily​ a bad thing that he now had​ it as his companion. Putting asidede the puppy's imperious attitude, he also had that ridiculously frightening bloodline and he was only an infant. How strong would he get if he were to grow up and unlock the unlimited potential of his bloodline!

”Of course! I am King!” The puppy snapped out of his lostness and revealed quite proudly.

”Is that really​ your name or did you just award it to yourself?” Dylan interrogated. He was not convinced by what the dog said.

”It is! I am King!” The puppy insisted.

”You don't look like a King yet though.” Dylan said otherwise.

”You!” The puppy was angered when he heard Dylan.

”I'll call you Rian. It means little king. Quite a fitting name for a little tyrant like you.” Dylan named the puppy.

”Rian, little tyrant... Hahaha, I like it!” Rian accepted his name.

”I am Dylan. Nice to meet you, partner.” Dylan formally greeted.

”Hehehe, right back at you, partner!” Rian chuckled back. He smiled as he thought of the​ word, 'Partner...' A strange flash shone in his eyes as he was lost in his line of the.

*BANG* *Crumble* *BANG* *Crumble*

Suddenly, rumbling sounds could be heard above them. Something was continuously bashing the outside of the cave! Tiny crevices started to form on the cave ceiling and rock debris were also falling from above. The top of the cave was starting to fall apart.

”What's happening?!” The puppy jumped from shock!

”Oh no, the tribulation has started! Brother, get down!” Dylan knew what those sounds signified, they were the lightning boltscrashing atop the cave.

*BANG* *Crumble* *BANG* *Crumble* *BANG* *Crumble* *BANG*

Before they could even react, the loud banging sound intensified abruptly. The cracks converged into larger cracks and eventually fell apart. The falling debris fell upon them.

Dylan was worrying about Barry but a very large rock fell to him at this moment. It could even kill a rhinoceros if it landed on one! So, he had to react by defending himself.

”Falcon Monarch: Sweeping Thunder!” Dylan roared and raised his right hand as he used the skill of the Lightning Falcon King. A giant falcon with wingspan of 5 meters shot out of his right hand and destroyed the large rock as well as the debris that followed it. It even fended off a lightning as it soared.

Sweeping Thunder is a skill which is known for its power to sweep through everything​ that it passes through! Once it reaches Grand Perfection, one could materialise four giant lightning falcons that will sweep through all four directions!

Once the falling rocks were cleared, Dylan could not see Barry and Rian anywhere. The was only a wall made by the fallen broken rocks around him. He immediately called out, ”Brother, Rian, where​ are you?”

”I'm here!” Rian snuck out from a rubble of rock and went to where Dylan. He appeared perfectly fine without the slightest hint of injury.

”You're not hurt?” Dylan surprisingly asked. He was glad to know that Rian was fine.

”Of course not! How could I be hurt by rocks?” Rian laughed proudly.

”Good!” Dylan smiled at Rian's attitude.

”I'm here behind​ the wall of rocks! I'm fine! Don't worry about me! Just focus in the tribulation! I know you can overcome it! I will go find some additional herbs that will help you recover after your tribulation is done! So, you have to live, brother.” Barry's voice answered after a while. His voice was getting somewhat distant as he said his words which implied that he was already distancing himself.

”I will!” Without the cave ceiling, Dylan was looking directly to the night sky and he could clearly see vast cluster of dark-grey clouds with slithering lightning serpents within and deafening roars of thunder.

*Whoooosh!*The clouds seemed as though it detected Dylan as well. It started to rotate like a vortex directly on top of Dylan. The lightning gathered at the center ferociously and the thunder resounded more defeaning than ever! It was like the heaven's was trying to exhibit it's​ supremacy and deliberately made Dylan feel it's wrath!

”Let's begin!” Dylan readily said and summoned his trusty Waning Moon Sword and Shield of Dusk.
