487 Tamed Beast, Silver (1/2)
Leon was surprised.
When stopped rubbing the Skysilver Beast King's head, its three tails also slowly stopped wagging. After he resumed rubbing its head again, its tails also began wagging again.
'To think the Skysilver Beast King has been regressed to this state.' Leon pondered. He found the discovery quite concerning.
If humans were infected by the overbearing Demonic Energy, would they also regress to such infantile intellect even if he cured them?
On one hand, this was a serious problem, while on the other hand, he seemed to have gotten himself a pet wolf, albeit a very large one.
”What should I do with you?” Leon mused while moving back to look at the big three-tailed silver wolf as it also looked back at him patiently with curiosity.
If he kept it and brought it back with him to the Human Domain, feeding it would be quite a huge problem.
Shortly after, he frowned from the pungent stench of the saliva mixed with rat blood on his body before he sternly said, ”No more licking! Licking, bad! Understanding?”
”Arf, arf!” The Skysilver Beast King barked and wagged its tails in response.
Leon was uncertain if it actually understood his words, but he continued to speak to it, ”Hmm… I can't leave you here, can I?”
”Ar-roof?” The silver wolf titled its head.
The Skysilver Beast King was a very proud Transcendent-level Beast King. To see whether it can become Leon's tamed beast, he flew up and sat on its head to gauge its reaction.
No signs of rejection were detected.
The Skysilver Beast King simply moved its head up slightly, trying to look at Leon while continuing to wag its tails.
”I guess you'll be my tamed beast from now on. Since you are no longer the same as the former Skysilver Beast King, I will just call you Silver.” Leon stated while patting the silver wolf's head.
”Arf, arf!” Silver barked excitedly, seemingly accepting of its new name as its three tails wagged energetically in response.
Shortly after removing the new accumulation of Demonic Energy inside Silver's body, Leon observed the rat tide outside the region of charred-black burning carcasses in the distance.
At that moment, the numerous rats continued to leap at the airship as it was slowly gaining altitude in the sky.
”Huh?”
Leon's eyes suddenly flickered in discovery.
After leaping into the sky, the rats would eventually have to fall back to the ground. In a normal situation, they would have landed safely on the surface.
However, that was not the current case from what he was witnessing. The number of rats getting crushed to death by the overwhelming weight of their own fellow brethren was actually staggering.
As such, it had not been discovered until now.
”There are actually so many rats that they are crushing their brethren at the bottom to death! It seems that the plan will need some adjustment.” Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Shortly after, Leon suddenly called out, ”Silver!”
”Arroof!” The giant silver wolf answered with a bark and stood up on all four legs like it was heeding his summoning call.
”Good. It seems you recognize your new name pretty well.” Leon nodded with praise and rubbed its head.
”Arf, arf!”
Silver responded with its tails wagging.
”Wait here for a moment. I will be right back.”
