"KAHAHA What's up, kiddo, are you done yet?"

Jomel glanced up when he heard 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 thought that achievement of this Vietnamese must have been high.

"Wow, you're so polite now... Haha hahaha"

"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 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 being...

"We tried countless tests, but they all failed, and all of those experiments will 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... because of 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 powerful, so 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 for 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 contacted it.

When the Deal failed, Jomel knelt because of the discomfort he was suffering from the back injury.

His forehead was sweating a lot, and the fuzzy beast, who should have been asleep because of the drugs, opened its eyes in a split second.

From Jomel's perspective, the entire area darkened. 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 struggled as if it needed to break free from its metal shackles...

The monster released high pitch roar...

Jomel's eyes and nose bled. He felt terrible 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 tames one and forms 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 to leave immediately; he felt like not dying soon, plus there's something inside him that wants to run away as soon as possible.

Bizim!

An intense vibration was felt by the furry monster. He thought twice, is he going to stop or not..?

He tried to move again backward away from the beast.

*VVAaAaAaAaAaAaAaNNGGHHHHH*

The beast sent another strong vibration of malicious aura along 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 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…

Closer…

The beast didn't kill him.

Yes, but the beast still staring at his left arm, salivating. He would be surprised if the beast is staring at his face, for the crocodile was in that Soul-Space. But it is not, it's still looking at his arm, but it's not important now.

There is an opportunity while it is not moving. He formed another seal, and then.

*pat*

He patted its forehead and then

…

…

…

The contract was successful.

Without waiting for him to celebrate, the monster pulled him inside his Soul-Space…

Roar!

A Shadow of darkness enveloped Jomel Soul-body without him knowing. When the Monster saw this, it roars with joy like it was seeing its bride be!

The eye of the monster became red with madness!

*thump* *step* *thump* *step* *thump* *step*

The Soul-Beast became silent and walk slowly towards him.

*zisizi*

*zisizi*

*zisizi*

Jomel knows what's going to happen next, the furry monster going to eat him alive and whole.

He's had enough of terror for the day and his eyes become deadpan, and plans to accept his death!

There's nothing he can do and muttered, "So much for my guts, huh!"

So he opened his arms wide willingly like he was waiting for the beast to come to his embrace.

Growl

Another monster comes to the rescue.

The crocodile Soul-Beast!

Jomel's hope for survival surfaced!

The crocodile made a low growl, standing in front of jomel!

He is protecting his owner!

With a low growl and then bubble e surfaced and coated its giant body!

The foe only stared at it…

*growl!*

The crocodile released a bubble bomb!

*Ka-Boom!!!!* *Ka-Boom!!!!* *Ka-Boom!!!!*

Jomel thought the foe is finished but…

When the liquid smoke subsided, he saw the appearance of the enemy; it is without damage.

This time the scream of the foe was full of hatred! It is infuriated to that attack!

The body of the enemy glows up to the color of darkness..!

It coated its entire body and then with fast movements!

Bam!

The crocodile was injured, though it seems like it is just normal damage.

Growl

Jomel's crocodile made a low growl again!

A yellow-green like aura that is made of the gust of wind appeared from this air.

Creating a crocodile bone threat!

Jomel grinned. He is very proud of his Crocodile Soul-beast because these animals rarely have a wind form and just liquid.

If they have a wind type, it means they spent their time in the wild rather than in captivity, and their wind type is stronger than normal!

The foe dodged the strike- the foe spit out a green aura, forming a green-like aura from his mouth that covered its body, turning from darkness to the green-like stuff, greener than his crocodile!

Then it…

Swish

Like a knife in solid butter.

The monster pierced through the boney body of the crocodile…

Killing it, instantly...

Ugh!

Jomel groaned in pain and anguish!!!

He didn't have time to respond to his Soul-sudden beast's demise!

It's as if something was torn apart inside of him! Jomel was looking blankly in the air outside! The tattoo on the side of his face had bled!

This is a hint that his first Soul-beast has passed away!
