In a nod of understanding, my mind racing to think of a suitable name.
..."Soul Vow! - Pandora!" the blood fused between my palm and its skin erupts out blood magic glowing dark red pulsating pushing me to the edge separating us at an equal distance. The blood stretched between us twist and thickens into a blood vine.
Concurrently, feeling a web of connections created by bright blinding soul magic taking root in my soul realm. Feeling it for the first time trying to comprehend this phenomenon.
Experiencing the soul realm is equivalent to day dreaming, letting your mind relax and wonder diving into it, feeling less of reality.
To grasp reality and dream concurrently stresses the brain to constantly shift in and out of focus.
The light inscriptions leave the magic circle binding onto our bodies and souls, with a chain of complex inscriptions placing itself in between us physically and in the soul realm signifying the finishing line.
Minato screaming muted words to me in the winds, created by the powerful aura of the Legendary Alpha Shadow Leopard, "Yuujiro! Pull! Dominate the beast and bring it into your soul realm and devour its soul."
His words cutting through the winds like a referee's whistle blowing, igniting a sudden awakening in both the Alpha and I to simultaneously pull.
Pulling the blood vine with ease, one palm after the other, like a strength contest against a toddler. I yanked hard lifting the Alpha Shadow Leopard off the ground, catapulting it over to my side of the finishing line.
However, being unexperienced in the soul realm, my mind solely focused in the physical world I had been idle, loosely gripping the soul vine body almost across the finishing line.
In a stroke of luck, I regained conscious in time and leaned back pulling down my center of gravity, completely stopping my feet at the edge.
Focusing my mind, then opening my eyes with power overflowing with Overlord time magic. The overlord sigil shining brightly in my iris, imbuing me with unrivalled power, my presence overwhelming the entire soul realm.
Unconsciously drawing on the powers in my blood. Manifestations of the God class Divine Nemean Lion, Heavenly Pheasant and Giant Draconic serpent appearing behind me. Unleashing their might heavily bruising the soul of the Legendary Alpha Shadow Leopard to almost disintegration.
Thankfully only a fraction of their power was unleashed, otherwise the Alpha was going to be turned into a lifeless husk to wither. Pulling gently the battered soul dragged over the finishing line in meowing in pain, from there it fully assimilated into a part of my soul.
Its physical body vanishing into magicubes, followed by my embedded Draconic Poison Fang, harmlessly falling onto the ground.
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Successful, assimilated Legendary Alpha Shadow Leopard will now be known as *Pandora* to be called forth from the soul realm of Yuujiro the Elder Primordial Chimera as his familiar."

The courtyard became still and silent again, Minato rushing over checking if I'm okay, while Europa and Sagi with worried looks on their face hugged me from both sides. Solidly planting their soft giant boobies against my cheeks. "Ahh Bliss..."
Europa crying out "We were worried Yuujiro, Brother Minato said you couldn't focus on your soul realm and was losing, we thought you were going to become a lifeless husk."
"From our outsider perspective the distortion magic allowed us to see both planes and saw your inner soul realm."
"What were those powerful monsters manifested inside your soul realm, the giant snake and white fur lion looked familiar..."
Trying to act dumb, brushing it aside "Must have been some hidden bloodline trait passed down by my ancestors, lucky for me I guess ha ha..." Europa happily accepting it while Sagi looks at me with curiosity and suspicion, and Minato simply nodding in silence.
Relieved I thought, luckily, they didn't catch the overlord sigils in my eyes from their angle.
After resting and recovering a little I stood up, trying to summon my new familiar, "Summon Pandora!"
A magical cloud of gas poofed to reveal, Pandora lying on the ground too beat up to move.
"Ah... Master please let me rest I almost died..."
Startling me completely, "You can speak now? Amazing!"
Angry it replied, "I'm more amazed I'm alive after ALL you and your friends did!"
"While I was unconscious you dropped all those balls of gold on me flaunting your wealth to this sexily dressed demon bull!"
"While you were away purchasing a wife, she dragged my body to the back and with her butter fingers dropped her hammer and hot melting materials on my head as well!"
Flashing back, thinking how Europa dragged him like a carpet, then dropping her favorite hammer on his face, "OOPS sorry there let me just take that back... OOPS SORRY that must have been hot..."
"Look at my face! Comically bruised and scalded, even my own mother wouldn't recognize me."
Suppressing a laugh, I looked at Europa who started to look at the ground sheepishly.
"Okay we're sorry please rest Pandora."
Dissipating into magicubes again echoing..."Thank you Master."
Minato looking at the predicament offered, "Yuujiro usually with such a large and powerful beast as your familiar you should get around no issue with the aid of a cart or simply a saddle for you and miss Sagi."
"However, seeing that your familiar is going to be out of commission for a long while, would you like to come by my place and get another mobility for your travels?"
Gratefully accepting his offer, "Yes that would be great, preferably a flying one or so I've heard."
Flipping his personal teleportation coin on the ground, expanding a magic circle large enough to fit the three of us, while Europa stayed to tend to her shop, slightly sad that we were leaving.
Softly wishing us a safe trip, "Safe travels you two and bring back more materials for me to work with Hehe."
Feeling the melancholic feelings of separation and farewell, I walked up to her "We'll be gone for a long while this time, don't use up all my gold, see you soon and thanks for sharpening the draconic fangs while I was recovering Europa."
Ending with a long tight squeeze of a hug before we set off for Minato's beast taming ranch.
