2024-10-29 19:42:56It is simply unheard of? To be able to tame both energies in a being? Absolutely nonsense.
But yet, even the Solitary Ruler of the Allied Beastkin Realm had done it. He has destroyed all we thought or believed was true and established new rules.
The times are changing, you hear? I say, the times are changing. In times past, both energies would ravage each other, eating into the systems of the tainted being in a bid to out do each other. Many at a times, those who could withstand the destructive effect of the taint end up being spiritually crippled, unable to advance their soul class any further.
But the Beast kin ruler, Bello has done it. He has not only tamed the light and dark energies of creation and darkness, he has also being able to create a new law from it.
The Law of Annihilation. Even the name is enough to spread fear to potential opponents. This law, from what the Solitary Leader was able to let out has merely one principle, the principle of Annihilation.
You know what this spells for me? Not only will I be able to ascend once more, I will also be able to manipulate Both energies to access the combined Law of Annihilation. It's wonderful, daughter, absolutely wonderful.

Excerpt From:
A letter to Ibiyemi, General of the BlueMoon Mercenary Alliance House by Ex-General Afolarin.

Virulent Tailed Hound -Common Type
Max Soul Stage: Ground
Max Energy: 73
Ability: Poison Spiked Tail
-
A new variety of the Ironspike Tailed Dog. The hound is capable of infusing poison into the iron spikes at the edge of its tail, dealing continuous damage whenever tail makes impact on foe.
————
Oh?
Just that?
I can clearly see the attribute of the poison clam being dominant here but what happened to the Fire ability of the Salamander?
Don't tell me it's deficient?
'Yasmin, why is the virulent Tailed hound not showing any attribute of the Salamander?' Bayo asked, mental fatigue tugging at him.
He had anticipated so much but this?
'In the simulation of bloodlines, certain traits tend to be pushed further down the evolution table in other for the formation of a successful specie to take place. In this case, the Fire Breathing Salamander's bloodline is not required.'
AGH
So much for planning for the alpha!
Wait, come to think of it, why didn't I pitch in the ability of the glowspike Rat?
'Yasmin, combine the ability of the Glow Spike Rat into the new bloodline of the Virulent Tailed Hound.' Bayo mentally commanded.
'Acknowledged.'
After some minutes of silence and technical gibberish from Yasmin, Bayo settled on some fishes again, eating and yawning afterwards.
'Simulation Completed! New Specie Created.'
What? New specie?
What happens then to the Virulent Bloodline?
'Show me the analysis.'

Latent Stealth Dog -Common Type
Max Soul Stage: Ground
Max Energy Level: 33
Ability: Motion sensing, Heat infused Tail
-
A further evolution of the Virulent Tailed Hound, this Dog bears further resemblance to the IronSpike Tailed Dog howbeit with more evolutionary advantages.
Beware of its Tail.
——-
Hmmm...
I guess this makes sense. Getting a form that is further distant from the regular Dog will make me more of a threat than a relative to the pack.
A form that bears semblance allowing me to blend in whilst giving me the advantages I want.
Even though, the poison clam bloodline is outclassed here, but the dog still stands strong.
But Mehn!
The Alpha has an max energy of 40. The Virulent favours me more but even after winning, there's little chance I will be allowed into the pack, talk less of Jaspar finding me.
'Yasmin, evolve me into the latent stealth dog.'
'Acknowledged. This transformation will cost a total of 30 energy points.'
'Are you crazy, Yasmin? First you cheat me of my cultivation, now yuh want to steal energy again.'
Sighing Yasmin replied. 'The changing of forms will require energy to be used up, usually for soul adaptation to new form. Understand that I am doing you a favour here by over riding your adaptation time with the expenditure of energy, which you happen to have in excess.' The Soul genie ranted.
Yasmin was pissed and he could feel it already. The way the soul genie had replied made me seem like an ingrate but hey, he was the one growing bloodlines so it wasn't like he was just hoarding energy. Energy meant a lot to me now.
'Besides, why didn't you absorb that much energy for my second transformation?' Bayo countered.
'That is because Evolution to a stronger form will require more energy expenditure for soul...'
'Okay... okay... stop, damnit. You win. Make me weak and evolve me again.' Bayo nodded.
Yasmin May have had a point but he was just an innocent soul trying to survive.
Well, maybe not innocent.
...
The atmosphere blurred as Bayo picked speed, racing through the cliff plains towards the hedge of rocks some meters opposite his resource pool.
Getting closer, he could see IronSpike Tailed Dogs perking up their ears, watching him advance. From their position, they seemed to have circled a cave with a large rounded stone in front, no doubt, for the alpha.
Bayo paused, guilt stabbing at his mind. Social Dogs or rather wolves living in packs are usually some sort of nuclear family arrangement with a population of 8-15.
So if he was darting in on this family, just to throw off the dad-Dog, did that not make him a murderer?
Hey, cool off, Bayo.
It's not like the Alpha will just succumb to you after all. This is the jungle, all's fair in it.
With the guilt shoved aside, Bayo trudged onwards to the cave, snarling as best as he could even as the other dogs watched.
Just as he got to the cave entrance, a bulkier figure stepped out, majestically eyeing him.
With fluffy hairs, the Alpha looked at Bayo observing the new comer carefully.
After a while, it snorted, pulling its bulky self to climb the stone in front, peeking into the distance.
'Yasmin, what's happening? Is the alpha not meant to be territorial? I mean, showing that's he the boss here?'
'That should have happened. However, I am observing ripples your soul is tearing into reality. It appears that you have been considered part and parcel of this pack, all thanks to your soul.'
Damn You, Soul.
I don't need this now.
I wanted to have the advantage of distance but now you have merged me as part of them.
Really?
Exasperated, Bayo barked, attracting the attention of the nearby dogs. This wasn't what he had planned.
Get to the park, expect the alpha to be territorial and rushing to attack him, before luring it into the Wild where he had the advantage.
But now, he had to make the first hit and in the plains too? Where would his stealth bonus come in then?
Well, change is constant and we all must adapt.
Just then, the Alpha turned back, watching Bayo, a fierce glint to its eyes. It barked a reply and Bayo howled, instinctively, pulling the entire pack closer.
For a split second, he saw the eyes of the Alpha flicker.
'That's challenge accepted right, Yasmin?'
'Correct!'
Game On!
In a sudden flurry of paws, Bayo flew across the the plain, pain rippling through his chest along raked lines.
'Damn You, Alpha!' Bayo spluttered weakly, painfully dragging himself up.
Gah!
My precious energy!
Quickly, he queried Yasmin on his stats.
—-
Latent Stealth Dog
Soul Stage: Basic
Energy Level: 43/33
Growth stage: cub (1/3)
Growth Progress: 45/50
Ability: Motion sensing, Heat infused Tail
Law: Not Applicable(Law of Gluttony)
———
Pooh!
Before coming here, he had an energy seating at 53 but with that singular swipe of claws, that alpha had stolen 10 points off him.
Gah!
But again, he was only a cub, couldn't that alpha had pitied him? But wait, damnit, he should have waited till he was at least a young adult before coming up here.
He had to get out of here, fast.
Snorting, he scrambled to his paws and began hightailing it when he noticed the Alpha howled, bolting perpendicularly to his race line.
Wait, was this stupid dog trying to cut him off?
'Look, Dog Alpha, I only came to try my luck, okay? Just let me go and you will never see me here, at least for now, No?'
Just then, the Alpha closed in, swinging around to present its tail for a crumpling smash.
'Boy, I know that move.' Bayo spoke mentally, presenting his business side of his butt for a counter clash. As he did, he sensed a rushing of warm feeling spreading from his abdomen into the tail.
KA-THWUNK!
Both tails clashed, the heavier and sturdy tail of Alpha rammed Bayo's tail away, the momentum throwing him off balance.
The Alpha Growled, froth forming at its mouth as it glared at the feeble attempt to counter him.
'Even with the activation of Heat infused tail?' Bayo whimpered, unable to believe his luck.
Yes, he knew he had no chance currently but he had thought his ability would make the difference.
If it did at all, then the Doggie didn't show it.

The alpha grunted, furiously observing the cub beast before it.It sought to destroy this upstart, totally. Raising up a pack in this wild untamed forest had been a hell of work for it. Seeing that IronSpike Tailed Dogs were naturally not strong but he had made sure his pack survived.Hunted continually by the dragon people and picked upon other beasts, communal living had been their biggest bet. And by all that was in the forest, he was not going to allow a newcomer remove him from the pack.The Alpha mused, faint amusement in its eyes as it observed the weak specimen of a dog before him.Just what has this new comer thought? That he'd just show up and challenge him?Even after the fact that he had welcomed the new comer in, the new comer still had the guts to bark at him.Despite the fact it was barely a cub. A part of him wanted to preserve the newcomer. It was probably stray, a survival of a pack that had been hunted down.&nb

How do you cope with being the leader of a dog pack?Any ideas?Absolutely, there's none. You don't cope, you just go with the flow.And of course, absorb as much bloodline as you can get.To others, it meant something simple, like the what the movies portrayed.By God, he had missed movies. Focus, Bayo, Focus!Yes, bloodlines.Armed with the entourage of wild dogs, he had set the pack after a Metal plated Dip Eagle nest.Not that the pack could do anything but their presence was enough for him to claw into the bird, absorbing its bloodline. The result, the eagle turned aggression on him, picked him up into the air and flung him.When he landed, he crashed down at the edge of the Cliff, overlooking the MonsterEater Anthill.Gah!He had business there too, but not for today. Armed with the pack, he had conducted raids, successful ones at that. His wealth of energy and bloodlines were the basis of

The Treant stood, arrogant, as it watched the figure of a bull humanoid with loin clothes and a rounded ended staff descend from the floating raft.He had waited for this day. Trained for it and today, finally, he would learn of it today. He would understand what made this lone solitary leader of the Allied Beastkins so capable and efficient that in all of the scattered allied realms, he was revered.Perhaps Bello was the perfection he was seeking after?'Bello, I am most excited you have come in person.

"Our king is rising. All Hail The Imp King. Our king is rising. All Hail The Imp King. Our king is rising. All Hail The Imp King. Our king is rising. All Hail The Imp King..."The demon imp chanted, pacing the breadth of the empty, windowless cell that held him bound. The imp had a skin tone of reddish brown with two large bat wings folded at his back and a continuous swinging tail, wearing just a tight short.In front of the imp, standing behind a bar of iron, observing, were two sleeveless white robed figures, each having almost white eyes, watching the Imp with a fierce gaze. Draped at the waist was a black belt strapped with a sword in scabboard while spiral white bands at their arms glowed slightly.Footsteps sounded off from the distance, coming closer to the white robed guards, shuffling impatiently. The guards turned their heads in a way that they could see whoever was coming and still keep an eye on the imp.Just then, an elderly figu

Bayo tore along the rocky plains, flanked on both sides by IronSpike Tailed Dogs, barking eagerly. In Front of them,some few meters was a horned Hind Bear growling as it thundered towards them.The bear closed in on Bayo, lifting a paw to smack down but he crouched, avoiding the paw by inches. Another IronSpike Dog leapt over him, homing on the Bear's face with a crunching bite, pulling the head down as it was flung off by a paw.Whining, the dog landed on the soft fur of a nearby dog, both of them whimpering. The alpha, Bayo spared a glance towards the dog before swirling around for a head smack with its tail.Growling, he infused over 20 points of energy into his tail, heating it up before ramming hard on the bear.Being an Alpha was hard!Being an alpha, meant that sometimes you had to take things by the horn, close your eyes to sympathy and home in. With that in mind, he crouched, as the other dogs swarmed the bear

Ronke was 5.7ft tall, clearly dwarfed by her drakon and grakon team mates. She squinted, peeking into the distance like she just wasn't seeing enough.Her milky white gown fluttered noiselessly at her feet, revealing the gladiator sandals she had on. Of the three of them, she looked more relaxed but with a slight air of danger hovering about her."What do you mean? The dog has ironspiked tail, Ronke. Or are your Familiar senses screwing with you again?" Aeneas asked, scratching his chin."No, Iron spike tailed dogs do NOT have a reddened tail. That's heat the tail is giving off. That a new specie by creation order, it can never be accepted in a pack of Iron spike tailed dogs talkless of it being the alpha."

The black dragon soared, its wide arm wings soaking in on the dusky airs. Its body had several scales that opened and closed in minute motions, breathing out tiny vapors of smoke whilst it growled lowly, little sparks of fire escaping its reptilian snout. It's head was adorned with two goat like horns that curved backwards accompanied with red hot eyes and a tight cluster of ridge shaped spikes on its back to the end of the long tail where it spread out like a scythe.Below it, were the CFR agents with the Ragore Dragon and a slumped Dog. The dragon snorted, drifting closer to the spot."Guys, the sensor detected a fluctuation from that dog's soul." Aeneas muttered, looking up as the shadow grew even larger, approaching."That would explain the presence of this dragon." Ronke sniffed."I already told you. That dog got a soul bound too." Denre snorted, his dragon letting out a low guttural growl."Ah! And I thought you grakons were smart

It has become perplexing now about the concept of the Rare Type beasts we often encounter. From time immerioal, no logical explanation has been provided as to why beasts of these type cannot be soul gazed.Overtime, immense study and analysis has shown that these beasts often appear at instances that are of great imbalance to Fate. Once these beasts appear, they move on to destroy whatever was disturbing fate and then are gone from sight, only destroying other beings when they act in self defense.This very behavior has led many to believe that this is Eledumare's way of balancing reality.These beasts would not attack unless they have a fate disturbing entity. Also, they are rare and hardly seen. Indeed, we do not even know how they are born or where. The only thing close is that a beast can evolve to Rare Type especially when possessing three or more innate abilities.However, these Rare Type beasts have being appearing in numbers and wrecking hav

And Pain.. “AAAAAGAGHHHHHH!” The huntress yelled out as the chunk of earth ripped through her back, spearing its way through her entire body, all the way from the back to the front of her. “Now, you can burn!” Ronke said and then, with a smile, she stomped her feet on the deck of the ship, willing back all of the flames that she had been keeping at bay. All of it, towards the screaming form of the huntress even as the ship began to break and scatter into bits of matter down the mountain ranges below. “Now, now." Ronke said, smiling as she willed up a gust of wind to take her off the deck as the deck finally succumbed to the head and the destruction of the flames even after it provided a dying frame for the figure of the huntress earlier.

The Hunter is a killing machine which is specifically designed for such missions of severity, they do not show emotions and have no need for that because for the missions which they are assigned for, they have to be through and effectively. Their blows need to count and so the hunters are given new identities and introduced to the quality demanding system of the CFR. WHich would mean that even their souls are inculcated and taught about the values of the Cfr. In Other Words, they live for the CFR. However,this option of being a Hunter or Huntress is always so optional and never is forced on those within or without the CFR organization. It is only for those who truly seek to unlock the next level that the Cfr holds the key to. Lest we digress, the hunter is a single entity of overwhelming force.

Still in the gust of the momentum of the jump from earlier, his body went on, traversing space as he crossed the distance which was between the two ships. His body was roasting and he flew tall of the what, all of his insides feeling like marshmallows now. And oh, how hot the fumes were. The mere scent of the smoke that was about was roasting his nose, smelting down all of his internal organs that dealt with smell and breathing. His body hairs kept on shrinking as they blazed, the entire mass of the Lightning Fist Chimp now reduced to a literal burning mass of meat. Panic surged through his body now as Bayo crashed down to the decking of the larger CFR ship. While he wanted to re

The feeling had been instantouse for Bayo. For him to switch into the form of an Adze all in a bit and then revert back to the form of a Familiar Prime had been all so super fast. It was something which he did not think he would have been able to achieve, without Yasmin with him. Yes, of course, he could just as easily switch his body form ,without Yasmin being involved but also, he had to consider the event of the last time. He had spoked Ronke and the rest up when he had suddenly switched into the form of a growing Familiar Prime, as a youngling. He would not want something of such to repeat itself again, especially since it was bound to be a really rough ride in a bit, being that the CFR pursuing ship had arrived. It would be best not to unsettle anyone so that they could focus on what was really necessary and pivotal to their staying in the air for longer.

Beside a thorough negotiation skill as one of the prerequisites for a good CFR agent, another thing is to be considered in the midst of the yet many factors about a CFR agent. While the others may be so desiring, we would stress here once again, that lethal force is not always so desired in the CFR. If there is need forreal lethal force, there is the outer Consort of the Drakonian Confederacy or even the Inner Consort of the Drakonian Confederacy Army. If need be for thorough lethal force, then the army would be duly notified. An in such case this is often out of the hand of the CFR, However, be it known that it does not undermine the quality of the Cfr.

Earlier… GBA MMM! A loud bang exploded now and the ship suddenly rocked to the left violently. Bayo could only growl silently in pain as his head, in reaction to the sudan movement, bounced against the wooden bar just before his head, towards the left hand side of the bed. “What happened?” ROnke and Hana shouted almost immediately as they jolted out of the cabin, looks of questioning on their face towards the one at the cockpit. Shin. ‘Well…” Shin cried out to them, his head tilted upwards, looking at something which was beyond them. “We have company and they have real mood swings.” He said, tilting to the right with the steering wheel as he attempted to stabilise the ship now. ****
