"Am I dead..?" Jomel
He couldn't remember what happened.
"No, you are not.." TaoTierus
"Who- I thought you-.."
"You are in my Soul-Space.."
"Why and How..?"
"I don't maybe because this time my process of evolution will begin.."
"So, that's why... I didn't know tamers and Soul-Beast will have a bond like this..."
"So do I.."
"What's happening to my body outside.." Jomel is concerned, his condition won't be able to put up a fight.
"It's doing fine they won't hurt you.." TaoTierus can look outside but Jomel couldn't.
Jomel felt something's change but he didn't ask what. He just thought that TaoTierus this time is not that creepy as before.
TaoTierus manage to notice this and said" I know what I am.."
Jomel is a little surprised, so he looked at him with anticipation.
TaoTierus looked at it somewhere and explained.
"After I took out the stone.."
"I realize, I couldn't absorb those pure evil energies and the beast I am with absorbed it ungraciously, yes the one you called Motus, Instead I absorbed the unknown energy that is containing that darkness.."
"It retrieved my true bloodline memory.."
He looked at Jomel who was still waiting for more info like a kid.
TaoTierus smiled towards the kid, to him Jomel is still a kid and he is older than it.
"I am from the protector race called Kangalarian, they are not that powerful race most of the time but they need something to be a are great fighters.."
He sigh.
"Our bloodline are protectors, loyal and faithful followers.."
And then he looked at jomel again and explained once more.
TaoTierus told him that, Cerberus is like them a kangalarian but Cerberus is an experiment that is not failed.
A successful one that is created and bred by an evil entity.
That evil took a liking towards the kangalarian race loyalty and ferociousness of a Tao Tie.
They created a perfect beast guard but it is an extremely evil being.
While Tao Tie is a pure lost soul that is fallen from grace.
Kangalarian races are a powerful, courageous, and loyal race of canines.
But if they don't have something to protect they are the most coward beings you will ever meet.
They won't last a fight despite having strong skin, they are not made to battle to the death.
Jomel watched Chinese and Russian dog fights on the internet I his past life so he can understand.
There are American Pitbulls and many kinds of doggos who are bred for dogfighting.
And in Kangal breed of dog would lose not because they are weak.
They are actually really strong and they are blessed with stronger bodies.
But because they are not made to fight to the death.
They have weaker stamina, compared to those Pitbulls who can last for an hour.
They will cry once they are hurt, maybe because they have thick skin that they forgot to recieve pain, and when they do.
They will cry.
But if they have something to protect like sheep and owners, then that is when their nature would surface.
The true ferocity of their race.
They will fight to the death and even kill stronger and bigger foes.
They are not made to fight to the death but they are made to protect something until death.
The example of the best follower that anyone could have wished for.
And Tao Tie..?
They are kangalarian who lost their master that needs their protection.
But they never believe it, and they will think that everyone is hiding his/her master until A Kangalarian fell from grace.
Become an extremely gluttonous beast that will not stop trying to find their beloved master.
Jomel thought of Tao Tie had changed, to him, they are not evil creatures but pitiful creatures.
They must have been very loyal that they became an extreme evil when they fell from grace.
He sigh.
He is wondering what will happen to this TaoTierus he tamed.
Suddenly...
Taoatierus spoke.
"Master, that beast absorbed a high amount of evil energy... He will likely grow stronger..." ToaTierus.
Jomel heard and listened attentively, he can feel what is TaoTierus's Concern.
TaoTierus spoke of Motus, trying to corrupt and influence him from time to time.
From the events when they are in the Legendary tower and the events in his first fight with six armed beasts.
Unlike Tao Tiebwho had fallen from grace, TaoTierus explained to him how he feels about Motus.
He said that this is the incarnation of destruction and devouring.
A hunger that can never be fulfilled.
So he warned Jomel that he needs to be careful, for this guy will consume anything.
And the best thing that Jomel heard is that TaoTierus will level up first for now and new moves can be changed.
Every tamer can change their move sets whenever their beast levels up.
Just like what Jomel did, he tried switching Imbued corrosion and burning slash from time to time during these two years.
TaoTierus said that he can learn imbued sacred flame.
The sacred flame move doesn't have much firepower like Motus's move-sets.
But it can remove evil energy to avoid corruption, ignore bindings, and sealing.
In short, it is like a Motus Devouring that ignores status Condition as long as he has something on his stomach.
Sacred Flame is only a much weaker version that only a little bit of ability compared to devouring.
TaoTierus smiled and said to him that he doesn't have to be corrupted and can only make a decision on himself properly.
After that, he flops down and said he will sleep for a very long time.
He thought it would hasten his evolution but because of complete bloodline memory, he got.
He will have to hibernate for about 40 - 50 years.
Jomel can only use his Combat form 2 hours a day.
But he won't be able to think and help him during battle because TaoTierus would remain unconscious for a very long time.
TaoTierus level would also grow as long Jomel ate different kinds of flames and he encourages Jomel to go to smaller worlds and...
Eat a lot.
A Lot of them.
Jomel just scratches his head and thinking that made him gluttonous too.
But he's happy that it is not eating evil kind of flesh anymore, he now wants to taste what fire taste like.
PHAG!
TaoTierus flops down, earlier his flesh flops down but now it is his Soul that is going to rest.
Jomel just let it be...
When TaoTierus fell asleep his vision began to darken too.
He knew that it is TaoTierus that is supporting him to stay awake on his Soul form.
Jomel smiled and said.
"See you again, partner.."
And then his vision turned black.
