Chapter 317
Kyon waited until the panther chewed on Artie’s bones, absorbed his soul and took his rings with the keys. Hobbling and holding his stomach, Kyon approached the hole he had made to hide the tiger. Despite his terrible condition, he was in no mortal danger – “been there done that” – which couldn’t be said about the dying supre beast.
Lovr pulled out the unconscious wild cat, placed it on his back, and carried to the nearest hill. Any eting with a tournant participant could be a disaster, primarily for the tiger. He didn’t have a mont to waste.
{Damn it, not again…} – Another opponent was approaching.
Barely avoiding the unwanted encounter, Kyon reached the hill, dug a fifty-ter deep cave with the earth elent and blocked the entrance. The primary source of oxygen was supposed to be water electrolysis that he would create himself, ventilation was no problem, either. A high-quality crystal would serve as a light source.
Kyon covered the floor with his spare clothes and laid the tiger on top of them. There was no way to stitch up the wound as the patient’s body was too strong and resistant to all sorts of irritants. For the sa reason, freezing the wound with the cold elent wouldn’t work either. Synergy was of little help here, but it worked on a weakened body much better than before.
First of all, Lovr did not spare healing ointnt for the wound. As expected, it wasn’t effective for royal phasers. The least it could do was to slow down the bleeding.
In a matter of minutes, Kyon had concocted so viscous substance, sared it over the cut and dried it with the wind and the heat elents that created a hard crust and stopped the bleeding.
{It was close! I could have lost my tiger…} – Lovr stroked the tiger leisurely. The beast would live. All that was left for him to do was to give his new pet sothing to drink, dress the wound and take care of the beast until it woke up.
anwhile, there was a consistent rumbling sound sowhere above them. All the tournant participants headed to Dick Baker like bees to honey. The tracking function in their bracelets led them to the hill, where they started a scuffle against each other.
Late in the afternoon, there were too many people. Everyone who approached the hill with a 500-ter distance could feel the bracelet vibrate, reminding them of the ban on cooperation between the participants of the sa school. Paradoxical as it may sound, the most dangerous place in the forest had suddenly turned into the safest one.
While the whiskered beast was unconscious, Kyon created a cozy room inside the hill with the earth elent. He ordered a falcon to catch so rodents for him and released them inside the room.
The field mice huddled together in the corner from fear. All they could see was a bright light in the center of the room and the shining eyes of a big, scary man. Suddenly, the whole world turned dark. They couldn’t feel anything anymore, their mind completely disappeared.
{Did I kill them?..} – Kyon wondered. The flash of darkness created by his unique body had instantly killed the little mice and even extinguished the lighting crystal. The instant attack that never missed turned out to be deadly. How curious.
Being at the death’s door because of the tiger, Lovr had discovered a new feature of his unique body that he nad as a flash of darkness. It was completely opposite to the flash of light that he obtained when Valeera tried to kill him. He could only guess why the body of the void revealed its secrets only in desperate situations.
After many hours of experints, Kyon had completely restored his arm, healed his lungs, created a germ of a new spleen and eliminated all the consequences of the concussion, but he still had to restore a considerable part of the lost neurons. The brain is a complicated organ, after all.
Using mice and one manul cat, Kyon found out that the flash of darkness had an hour rollback and acted radically opposite to the flash of light. It suppressed all senses. Hearing, vision, sll, and taste deteriorated, the body went numb, the balance got upset, the connection with the soul weakened…
He couldn’t use both techniques at the sa ti. There had to be at least a second pause between them, but after one of them had been used, the effectiveness of the other significantly increased. Roughly speaking, the light strained the senses even more if it ca after the darkness and vice versa. Depending on his goal, he could choose the best sequence.
Kyon hadn’t noticed one important detail: he ceased to spend Synergy reserved to fight Kara’s curse (eliminating the effects of her enchantnt that turned him into a madman ready for anything).
{Co on! I got rid of the enchantnt curse! Really?} – He was bursting with delight. Darkness tended to destroy everything in its path. Once it appeared in his soul, or rather, once it originated there, it neutralized the alien energy inside. Finally, he got over this disease that used to continuously consu a bit of Synergy, threatening to drive him insane. On the other hand, he had already fallen head over heels in love with Kara, the hated demoness and Dinah, the maid-assassin in a natural way. Wasn’t it crazy?
«M-i-i-а-а-w-wrrr…»
Kyon almost jumped from the loud yawn and checked the ti: {Is it morning already?!} – He headed to his furry trophy in the next room, taking out a bright lighting crystal.
The beautiful amber eyes greeted the man first with surprise, then with the awareness of what had happened, and finally, with helpless hostility. The striped beast growled angrily. The proud freedom-loving cat didn’t seem to like the new owner.
«I’ve saved your life, and you dare to growl at ?» – Kyon said reproachfully.
The tiger saw the bandage and the crust instead of the wound: {Did he save ?! Oh, yes… All humans are greedy. I must have a certain value for him…} – The beast stared at the man cautiously, with no gratitude.
When Kyon squatted beside the tiger and stroked its large head, the beast bared its teeth. It was an unusual and amazing feeling to caress a powerful creature that had been trying to kill him and now had beco a harmless ta kitty.
Kyon didn’t hold a grudge against the tiger’s aggressive behavior. Any beast would hate soone who intended to harness them. Besides, interracial enmity had been deep-rooted in the minds of the inhabitants of this world for thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years. Anyway, Kyon thought it was stupid to be mad with his property and an important trophy rolled in one.
Kyon scanned the wound with Synergy. It had almost healed. The tiger’s heightened regenerative abilities, the essence of the universe, and the healing dicine made the deep cut almost heal in one day.
Lovr took off the bandage and removed the hard crust from the wound under the painful growl of the striped beast. There was a reddish trace left on the skin, but it was nothing to worry about. It would have completely healed by the evening. The tiger was already a combat-ready unit.
Kyon rembered the most important things and said with anticipation:
«I order you to take the human form.»
The tiger growled and stood upright. The paws started transforming into hands and feet. Joints and bones creaked. The head, the powerful body, the huge tiger legs turned into human ones. The body shrank, acquiring the feminine curves characteristic of a tall athlete. The beast’s weight decreased a couple of tis, following the basic principle of “weight enchanting.” Two soft mounds ford in the chest area, growing slowly to a B cup, then to a C cup. The snow-white fur and the whiskers had disappeared, transforming into the epidermis. The fur on the head turned into long, gorgeous cascading locks of snow-white hair.
The skin beca paper-thin of healthy, creamy color. The head acquired human features: symtrical feminine outlines on the face of a sweet, breathtakingly beautiful, one in a million girl. The vanishing tiger stripes highlighted perfectly arched eyebrows. The amber eyes no longer had a feline shape, but they didn’t lose a hidden threat either. Their unique look combined the charm of the young beast princess with her ferocity hidden within. She could bewitch with her innocent beauty and then scare with a vision of her fangs digging into the prey’s throat. The girl had little sharp fangs, lovely fluffy ears and a dium-length white furry tail as a reminder of her animal nature.
The white-haired girl looked about 16 years old. Her body hadn’t fully ford yet. In the future, her facial features would take an even more perfect look, her figure would beco more feminine, and the breasts would grow to a D cup.
Kyon watched the entire transformation process from beginning to end, frozen like a stone statue. His eyes nearly popped out of his head with astonishnt. He had never thought that his tiger was a girl of exquisite beauty. Her height was about 1.80 cm (about 5.11 ft). She had a proud posture, an naked athletic body glowing with power, smooth soft skin, firm breasts and butt, beautiful enchanting eyes… All this had left an indelible impression on Kyon.
By the way, the tigress didn’t mind being naked at all. Supre beasts put on clothes with the sa frequency and need as people wore socks. If soone ca into a public place naked, no one would ever pay any attention. The beasts were nowhere near to human depravity, and they were blissfully unaware of the concept of sha. In their true form, they were all equal before each other, all wearing their birthday suit.
When the transformation was finished, the girl noticed the man’s filthy gaze drilling her gorgeous body, her breasts and hips in particular. She felt suddenly embarrassed and even afraid. She knew how cunning people could be. She would bitterly regret it if she forgot about their vicious nature even for a second.
The tigress covered herself with her hands but did not blush. She arched her eyebrows angrily, gave the man an intent threatening stare as if saying, “don’t even think about it,” and warned him: «Don’t you ever give that dirty look!»
The sound of her voice lted Kyon’s heart. The pleasant sounds with a characteristically growling “R” gave him goosebumps. Otherwise, her speech was no different from the usual human dialect. She had no accent.
Kyon stopped admiring the girl’s beauty, sat on a stone chair and asked her with a serious look on his face: «All right then. Tell your na to begin with.»
«My na is Triana Tirindun. I am the third princess and the youngest daughter of King Ildun Tirindun, the leader of the white tiger leaders.» – The girl introduced herself without being boastful but in a manner befitting her high status.
Kyon’s eyebrow crept up, and his jaw dropped to the center of the earth. He had harnessed the third princess of the white tigers’ king himself! Her father was second only to Hera, the manticore, the forest empress, and his youngest daughter would serve an insignificant man with nearly zero authority!
«As you understand, my father is the commander-in-chief of all the forest warriors. His single order can wipe your seedy kingdom from the face of the earth. He will shed a sea of blood for the sake of his youngest daughter. Be wise and grant freedom, and I promise not to kill you, man.» – The tigress said with royal dignity, expecting to impress him with her generous offer.
However, to her complete surprise and disappointnt, Triana didn’t see any awe or even fear! The weird stranger nodded happily to his thoughts, threw back his head and laughed out loud.
