CONTRACTED BEAST
A group of people were groaning on the ground, sweats dripping from their body. None of them could lift their hands. Their mouth was wide open, gasping for air. A young man with swollen face and blood at the corner of his lips, shivers, wriggling on the floors in blood and sweats. His eyes fixed on one direction. On the podium was a young man standing o
"This will be the end of today's training." Al Casendra wrote on the board.
He looked at the people on the ground for a moment without no expression on his face. Al Casendra shook his head slightly and left the training ground. 'There are still a lot of work for them to reach the level of a soldier in my previous life.'
'It time for me to complete the Matrix.' He thought and increased his walking.
"Hey, you must be the stupid young man that question his highness yesterday, right?" A sudden voice asked.
All attention turn to the face of the young man with a swollen face. The young man avoid the numerous gaze and crack his knuckle. When the crowd saw this, they burst into laughter, forgetting all their fatigue.
"You should be happy you're alive. I expect to see your corpse. But I guess this just a warning." A female said in disdain.
The young man with swollen face turn his head and looked at the female. He wanted to retort but he fail to come up with something reasonable. He sighed and shook his head.
"You should appreciate the grace his highness shower on us. Don't miss use it because of your ignorant and proudness. You won't know how you die." A thin young man beside him whispered.
"Let him continue, he won't know how he die. Rank 3 novice mage and you think you can say anything you like to his highness. Idiot." The female ridicule one again.
"That enough. He has learn his mistake. I believe he won't repeat the same mistake again." A middle aged man shouted. "Let focus on our next training. What do you think it would be?"
"We won't know. Because the way his highness thinks defers from us." Another middle age responded calmly.
At the back of the castle stood a gigantic mountain. On the lower part of the mountain was strong metallic door. In a small, room with many beast. A young man was was drawing something on a monster skin. His face devoid of any emotion and his gaze fixed on his work.
'I have tried many times. His my conjuncture wrong.' He raised his brow lightly. He shook his head. 'I'm not wrong. My calculation my be perfect enough or the God's Matrix is missing something.'
After working for a couple of hours, Al Casendra looked the beast scroll and scrutinize it for any obvious error. 'I don't detect any error.' He twisted his lips.
'Let try it. Now, I don't need the God's breath to tame a beast if this work.'
At once, he sat on the ground and put the beast scroll in front of him. Since he was the creator of skills. He knew it by heart. He close his eyes and began to chant some words. Also, his hands began to move in a strange pattern. However, it was in accordance with matrix drawn on the beast scroll.
The temperature in the room dropped and a frost of ice gathered around Al Casendra. Suddenly, a matrix appeared on the thin air, following his hands moment. After a couple of seconds, Al Casendra stop chanting and moving his hand.
At the corner of the room was a peak rank one eagle. He sent Sir John and some powerful hunter to hunt the eagle. He took them three days capture the eagle with some sustaining a deep injuries.
Al Casendra turned his head abruptly to the eagle and pointed his finger at the eagle. Immediately, the flowing matrix in the air moves swiftly toward the eagle. The eagle open it cyan eyes and stared at incoming matrix. It struggle against the chain. It instinct was telling it to escape. However, the chain was too powerful.
The Matrix entered into the eagles head and it shook vehemently. Also, Al Casendra trembled. But when he open his eyes and stared at the eagle. His deep blue eyes emits a strong powerful aura, spreading throughout the room. At once, the eagle stopped struggling and cower in fear.
A light smile appeared on Al Casendra's face. 'Finally, I succeeded.' He stood from the floor and dust the sand from his clothes. He looked at the back of palm, a matrix appeared and at the center was a shape of an eagle.
'Good! If not for my Soul Beast. I wont' be able to subdue the eagle quite easily.' He thought and rubbed his temple. 'If I have a mana cultivation technique. My level would skyrocket. Perhaps, I would be a Beginner mage by now.' He sighed but the light smile didn't disappeared from his face..
'Be at peace. I won't mistreat you.' He said in his mind, staring the eagle eyes.
The eagle relaxed his wings and looked at Al Casendra intently. Al Casendra chuckled and loses the chains on the eagle. The eagle squeak. It was half the hight of Al Casendra. He reach over and pat the eagle on the head. The eagle title it head and stared at Al Casendra.
'What a funny beast.'
Al Casendra walked to a small box and bring out a beast core. He looked at the eagle at threw the beast core at the eagle. At once, the eagle open it mouth and swallow the core. It looked at Al Casendra for a moment and approach him.
'You want more. Hmm?' He picked another core and threw it.
Al Casendra step out of the mountain with the eagle. The eagle cried and spread it wings and flies into the sky happily. It circulated in the sky above Al Casendra's head.
