One was a dragon, or evolved lizard flying with wings and looking like a dragon. As for the other one, it was the most troublesome dude out of the three.

It wasn’t just the problem of taming it, but also the threat of these gods being able to control it.

It would be disastrous if such a thing happened. Asking this beast might not work. And so I thought about a simple way to make sure there was no such connection between the two.

Or else it would be better to kill it instead of letting it live and grow to be a real threat in the future.

“Let’s start with the big deal first,” I decided to start the technique to summon that beast first.

I made sure to link the techniques with my heavy glaive. And to do so, I had to activate the sacrifice of strength before starting any technique.

Doing the technique again wasn’t that hard for me. It took roughly an hour to get it all done. I looked at the technique in the air while taking out something and placed it on the chariot.

The technique needed time to get done on its own. I watched it turn into a portal, before something came out from it.

It was here!

“You…”

What appeared in the middle of the black fog was something huge! I had to move my chariot back to let it land over the ground.

I was in the middle of the mountains, at a place not inhabited by any of my people. Yet once that beast appeared, the mountains got all damaged, spreading large amounts of rocks all over the place with loud bangs.

This came as a surprise for me. That dude was just small, much smaller than what it looked like right now.

What happened?

“What… Did you do to me? Speak! Speak now!!” As expected, this dude was already fierce and impatient.

*Fwoosh!*

“Tell me now! What did you do? What happened to my body?!!”

The next thing happened was for a fierce gale of wind to come as this beast teleported towards my chariot. All I felt was a fierce rumbling, the world twisting in front of my eyes, before a violent landing on the ground came that made me feel each inch of my body ache.

This bastard… It got hellish stronger!

My chariot never got affected by any attack in such a way before. Even when fighting paragons, it never experienced such a thing.

That beast didn’t manage only to make my chariot tremble and the shield to get cracked, but it also got my chariot flying in the air like a broken kite.

How the heck did this happen?

But when I raised my eyes to look at it, I knew what just happened.

In front of me wasn’t that small and weak looking beast. It was at least one hundred times bigger! And that wasn’t all!

It got scabs appearing all over its body. The scales it got were initially similar to the scales of the Hector race; small with smooth surface.

But these scales were thick, much thicker, and had a rough surface. They ended up in an irregular way, giving me the impression they were like broken sword edges or something.

The beast had a long neck, twisting right and left to inspect its huge body with large groups of elliptical eyes.

It got a large belly, long three tails that ended each with a spear looking tapering ends.

It had no wings, but for a reason it was hovering in the air, with its body surrounded in a dense layer of dark blue clouds.

What the heck was this thing? Was it the true form of that guardian beast?

“My mind… My memories… I’m losing myself! Damn bastard! What did you do to me? Where did you entrap me? Speak! Speak now or else you’ll face a fate much worse than death!”

*Fwoosh!*

*Boom!*

This time it came directly to fall over my chariot with its immense body, using the annoying teleportation skill.

But I was prepared for it. The moment it vanished amidst its roars, I moved my chariot with its highest speed, while bracing for the impact.

That beast had its body slam fiercely against the ground, causing a big impact there. The mountains all got smashed and the rocks were turned into fine dust.

I looked at such devastation and felt some sort of joy. This beast was mine. But I had to first tame it.

I got a clue about what happened, or was currently happening to it.

It got trapped inside my dark world, one that was so fierce to infect its body with my dark shadow energy.

And that was the reason behind the fierce changes it got. It seemed my energy stirred up something in its body, releasing the full potential of it.

Its body got bigger, its strength got fiercer, and even its handle over the skill got much improvement for it to move whenever it wanted, going towards the places it desired.

These are all good news, but the bad ones came from what this beast initially got inside its body; that god link that I was worried about.

“Ahh! Damn you! Screw you! I will tear your body apart! Ahhh!” it kept screaming, roaring in immense pain, while shouting and cursing, even threatening to do lots of things to me.

I watched all this while feeling like this beast was fighting against no one but itself. When it roared, I could feel its pain on its scales that got protruded.

When it cursed, I knew it was fighting against my dark energy.

“Humph,” and just as it was in the middle of such agony, it tried to get at me again. But like before, I was prepared for it and moved my chariot aside.

Yet this time I didn’t let it keep roaring and cursing. I just got a handle on its attacking pattern, and it was time for my next move.
