"How are you feeling.." A man with a Muscular body and the head of a jackal-like animal looking at the chained figure above.
"Of course, I am happy, he would be a perfect sacrifice..." replied the Three-headed wolf like an elder, his tones are honest, proving that he is delighted.
They got the perfect sacrifice and they got the deal, spot on! like this is made for them, a human. A fourth holder and a perfect sacrifice.
Overall, he still couldn't believe what happened, he knew his race is loyal but if it is not their tamer they wouldn't sacrifice their self, easily.
The human released it, but at the same time, his Race, the three headed-beast TaoTierus had given back something, something that will help the human against them, the jackal race, that is called; Imprint!
It is the way for a wolf race to recognize someone as their own, no matter what happened, what race, or what kind of indescribable creature he is, he will be branded as one of their race.
But the ceremony of it was too taxing, their wolf race would have to give absolute respect and trust to the being they would put an imprint on.
The drawback is that the wolf would go back to their lowest level, abandoning their body like a zombie, back to a level one infant.
Yes, TaoTierus now is a level one infant.
The wolf who started a ritual for an imprint will have amnesia about everything. They forget who they are, they will forget what they are and would start from the start.
It is very dangerous especially if it is in the wild open, but because they respect and trust the being that they put an imprint on, they would usually surely make it alive.
Imprint is like a hidden talent, but not that useful that's why it is not considered a Hidden Talent. Those who had an imprint will only become like one of them. Like a civilian in humanity at that.
Their attitude and power, then they could be called alpha or not, Everything depends on them.
In the ceremony or a ritual, the being who had an imprint on can survive with energy given by the wolf. Usually, every Soul-Beast move would use this move as a last resort for their tamer. Temporary making them, the being that has an imprint on energy for a short period.
They knew that TaoTierus did that, for his tamer to survive. It wants to make his tamer survive or alive. If it was any other TaoTierus they would have killed their tamer, and now, his tamer did survive.
This is peculiar but not that rare, it happens in every part of the world and things like this happens to a true benevolent tamer, and now it seems that is a true definition of a Tamer should be is in this human. It's a pity, he is too excellent.
"What's next now...?" Asked the three-headed elder who was beaming with happiness.
The jackal smiled with sharp canine teeth and then his eyes shined bright!

"Ugh"
Jomel felt very tired and heavy, both physically and emotionally, he thought he's gonna be okay if he convinced himself that he is okay.
He reacted like a grown man, he pretended to smile when he lost in love and when his Empterror perished, right before his very eyes.
That was the idea, but he is still feeling heavy, deep in his eyes is clear that is looking very emotionless is a clear indication that he was still in despair.
The feeling when a part of him was taken off, a part where he is asking where did he go wrong or what he did he do wrong, all of that is always circulating inside his mind.
He tried to move, but when he tried to he noticed just now that he was being chained up.
CHING
The chain bound his limbs, and he tried to transform but his Will energy feels like it is being sucked dry from time to time.
He noticed that he was inside the tank, he asked himself. Is the trial just ended? then what is this? why is he being chained up?
He thought that they will give him something once the trial ended, it also seems like the trial has ended, it was obvious he knew how tragic his last battle was, but unlike this one, from his imagination.
Is this one a reward for him?
He was eager to know, he stopped resisting, and looked up. His fate is on their hands, and he wants to know what they are planning next, he hoped that they just make it fast.
He wants to experience what they usually call rest. He fought for almost ten years inside a freezing environment, lucky for him that it also freezes his energy so he uses it endlessly.
He didn't even need to take a rest, or shit or some sort of things that are like that, and now he lost his consciousness, he was awakened by something like this.
So he wished that he is not some kind of experimented guinea pig, He wants to know the reward.
Unknown to him, just like he is a news, he was being watched by a million viewers, he was bound by a chain and water that reaches his chest, they made sure that he cannot use a Will energy to resist.
Jomel tried to look inside of him, to check for his TaoTierus Soul-Space and his Empterror Soul-Space.
He checked it out, but his expression transformed into full of bitterness and sadness. He didn't know why he even fought and why they are sent after him.
He just fought because it is a battle, plus he knew that they are after him. He just wished that the rewards this time will make up for his loss.
"Are you ready to accept your reward...?" A voice transferred from his ear interrupting him from his thoughts.
