Chapter 19：Death! (1/2)
”KAHAHA What's up, kiddo, are you done yet?”
Jomel glanced up when he saw the familiar voice again.
His eyes caught the Vietnamese officer removing his booger from his nose as though he didn't care what he had just said to him...
”Thank you so much.” Jomel bowed politely and respectfully to the man. He found that achieving the degree of the Vietnamese is immense.
”Wow, you're so polite now... Hahahahahahahaha”
”Of course, sir.”
”That's fine, but please forget those dull pleasantries... I've had enough of that sh*t.”
Woosh
The Vietnamese again, grabbed Jomel on his neck like he was a hollow sandbag and yanked him around his waist, and carried him away
The two arrive at a metal box that is much firmer and heavier than the one used when Jomel developed a contract with his Crocodile Soul Beast.
Jomel was prepared for the guy to throw him into the cage, as he had done the first time, so he braced himself for the impact but...
…
It didn't happen because they came to a halt for a brief moment and the guy asked honestly, ”Are you sure you want to tame this beast...?”
Without hesitation, Jomel nodded, because he only knew this beast other than the crocodile, nothing else. ”Every Soul-Beast Tamer who attempted to tame this beast died instantly for unexplained reasons.” He started, looking at the metallic cage that held the Silver or Wolverine-like being...
”We tried countless tests, but they all failed, and all of those experiments will come to an end for trying and losing a lot of Soul-Beast Tamer.” Warning him ”Since we don't have enough documents, we keep these beasts as they come.”
”It'll die if any Soul-beast Tamer fails... due to intense starvation, even though we feed it a lot of energy and Soul-Beast meat, it'll always get hungry, which is why we'll just lock it in a cage and let it die.”
”It's very strong, around the level of Semi-Legendary Soul-beast but cannot be tamed” So he turned to look at jomel ”Is this your last warning?” This time, the tall Vietnamese turned away from the cage and away from jomel...
Jomel was terrified on the inside, but he nodded anyway because the future won't live if he lost his guts now.
It's very powerful, which means that this is the only chance for him to achieve a small edge in the fight because if he loses, he can only die by blaming himself. ”Isn't it true that the universe won't work to those who don't have guts?
…
…
…
For a long while, the big man was shocked, and then he broke out laughing maniacally. ”KAHAHAHA! KAHAHAHA! KAHAHAHA!”
”You kid reminds me of myself when I was younger, but I'm kidding, you are pitifully weak...”
”HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
”Still, I like you, young man! Now go inside because it's bound and drugged to make it weaker! So, don't die, little boy! KAHAHA!
The big Vietnamese guy grabs him by the neck and as he expected...
The effect was much more than he had ever felt, but because of his previous encounter with his crocodile, Jomel just flinches and stands up after a few seconds of rest. Jomel searched his surroundings before approaching the Badger and Wolverine-like monster Soul-beast.
He circled it for a time, then approached its side and started the Soul-Beast Taming rite.
Blergh!
Jomel vomited a lot of blood, but he struggled because the creature was repelling him as he made contact with it.
When the Deal failed, Jomel knelt due to the discomfort he was suffering from the back injury.
His forehead was sweating a lot, and the fuzzy beast, who should have been asleep due to the drugs, opened its eyes in a split second.
From Jomel's perspective, the entire area started to darken. It was as if evil eyes were staring at his soul and very being.
He didn't feel any pain, but he feels as though he's being weakened by the monster's gaze.
Shrek!
The beast started to struggle as if it needed to break free from its metal shackles...
The monster released high pitch roar...
Jomel's eyes and nose started to bleed. At this point, he felt incredibly bad, as if the wound on his body from contracting Soul-beast Crocodile had reopened.
Blergh!
He kept vomiting blood, he couldn't feel his legs anymore, as if his bone was a sap of strength, he forgot he was standing because of the agony.
He underestimated this Soul-Beast because he knew Soul-Beast at the Semi-Legendary level are powerful, and even though an ordinary Soul-Beast Tamer manages to tame one and form a Combat form to battle a Soul-Beast, his chances of taming are only 50-50.
Their only chance to win is to determine the Soul-beasts Weakness of its type. Suddenly, the badger who was struggling and is about to get out from its binding got out from its binding...
It was now looking at his left arm without moving. It didn't move like it was waiting for something.
When Jomel was fully recovered from his state, he wants to try and leave immediately, he felt like not dying anytime soon plus there's something inside him that is wanting to run away as soon as possible.
Bizim!
An intense vibration was felt by the furry monster. He began to think twice, is he gonna stop or not..?
He tried to move again backward away from the beast.
*VVAaAaAaAaAaAaAaNNGGHHHHH*
The beast sent another strong vibration of malicious aura Jomel's way. Jomel wanted to get closer to the beast but sensed nothing. It was now looking at his left shoulder, not shifting its gaze away from it.
Jomel is unsure whether to approach the Furry Monster Soul-Beast because doing so might be the only way for the Furry Monster Soul-Beast to pull him in and eat him alive.
He stopped for a second, this sounds ridiculous, if the Silver beast were to eat him alive, it should have done so already... Why is it not assaulting and swallowing him now that the binding from the metallic cord wrapping it has been removed?
He moved closer to it, and surprisingly it attacks him.
The feeling of dread was becoming stronger like it was pulling him away from the beast. Jomel courage and confidence rose. He tried to get closer to the beasts and try if that beast would kill him…
*step* *step* *step* *step*
Closer…
Closer…
Closer…
