Divine Beast Cub [5]

"As long as you can put this around the child's neck, it will calm down."

Feng Ziran's words were almost drowned out in the chaos, but Atlas barely managed to hear them.

He looked up at the item in her hands with strained eyes. It was a golden band with a sleek design that looked more like a bracelet than anything else. 

"It will expand if you fill it with qi! When it's around the child's neck, you will form a temporary slave contract with it, making you its master. This is the only way."

Feng Ziran was a Divine Beast. For her to be telling him, a human, to enslave another Divine Beast…

It was because she knew that she would not be able to move from this position without dying. If it was him, there was a chance that he could make it to the center of the storm.

Each and every word caused her great pain, but she had to speak them.

Atlas looked out at the blazing hellstorm beyond their defenses and gritted his teeth.
