Chapter 2289: 2289. Pup
To the untrained eye, the amarok pup was small and frail. However, to those who had fought monsters before, it had very sharp teeth and the snout was long enough to be able to dig in to prey more easily. It also had tougher claws which were very telling that it was an earth affinity monster.
On top of all of this, the fur appeared to be able to condense some of the water from the air. Proving that the water affinity senses it used to keep an eye on its surroundings was more than true. The fur was also a dull mud like brown, not that it looked bad, it was still fairly adorable as a baby.
The young girl who had been brought to tame it and create a proper bond was barely able to hold herself back. She only remained calm as she had been taught that in being calm she would be able to solidify a better bond at first. But she didn't hide the brilliant smile that had taken over her face as the little amarok pup watched her.
Its eyes met hers and she didn't look away. All she did was move to pick up a milk and meat mixed soup. It was from a red sun bull, while its light affinity would not make the red sun bull very impressive, it allowed its meat to hold a lot of nutrients. The milk was from a craggy mountain goat too, which had denser earth mana within its milk naturally.
The food mixture reached the amarok pups' nose and it looked at the food as if it was the only thing left in the world. While the little pup leaped at it, the tamer did as she had been taught to do.
With a single movement, she took out a small paper with rune markings on it. For her, to tame a monster she had to prepare a unique rune made through her mana and her specific skills. The rune had to be made with her blood and similarly shaped to runes which matched the affinity to the monster she was taming.
The moment that the symbol landed on the amarok pup, it seemed to melt in to its body fusing with the mana. The little pup didn't even seem to feel anything as it happened. But the young tamer did feel something.
Her mana was depleting fairly quickly as the bond between them was formed. So much so that Walker worried that she might need some mana potions to complete the process. Luckily, the entire event ceased before she had used lal of her mana. Leaving her a little pale but also somewhat stunned.
As the little pup had just hatched and seen her while smelling the food she prepared, it naturally had a keen liking toward her already. But as the in between them was forged, the feeling grew. Walker could recall how it felt to create an equal bond with both Midnight and Onyx and knew that she was having a very important experience to her and the young amarok.
Sitting calmly, no one said a word. The researchers who were familiar with this important step did not want to hinder it whatsoever. Especially since they had also seen the little serpents Onyx had helped raise choose to become tamed monsters rather than follow and become a race earlier.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What's the problem asking for your help? The teams of gale horn ogres and the fire dragonkin who have decided that they work well as guard teams wanted to be examined by us. Your dragonkin have wanted to show you their growth with other races for a while now." Gil couldn't help but want to see what was making Ignus unhappy. But he also knew he should tread a little lightly.
"I have seen the remnants of the training dummy sussed. The wind blade and wind gale skill that the gale horn ogres use is impressive when mixed with the flame skills of the dragonkin warriors and mages." hearing a little boasting proved that Ignus could still keep some focus on the current situation.
This wasn't just for Ignus and Gil, but the focus on wind and fire together was something important since recently, a new field of herbs needed to be burned.
While this would sound odd to anyone else, the herbalists and the farmers in charge of it had explained that these were herbs that grew in open fields. The herb was known as a rolling pea, not an edible plant but looked similar to the pea pods grown by farmers. When lightning strikes in the fields, it lights the plants of fire releasing the pea pods to roll.
The ashes were the key for these peas to be able to hold in the ground and eventually sprout. Without it, then they would not grow properly nor would they even grow at all. Hence why this was both a show of control between cooperating groups and also helping the herbalists. Looking out at the field, three pairs of gale horn ogres began gathering wind for, their horns preparing to condense it. The same for the three dragonkin fire mages with them. They gathered fire mana in a condensed small fireball to be used to increase the attacks they would demonstrate.
"So, what are you planning to work on with Remey after she finishes helping Su gather an exploration group?" Ignus growled slightly the moment that Gil said this.
