As I wasn't really running at this mont while still pondering, Light jumping off wouldn't really cause him any damage, so instead of trying to catch him, I was more interested in his intentions as an extrely intelligent infant…
The very thin smokescreen which wasn't as showy as the one released when we were still inside the shack indicated that this was likely to be the effect of Light invoking his new ability on his own this ti, which gave less of an impact when compared to the ti of the ability's creation.
Thanks to that, I was easily able to see Light's body expand again, in a more calm way this ti before he let out a...
"ow!"
'Wow…'
Could you imagine seeing a sowhat oversized black lion whose cry was actually a cute ow…?
'This is actually not that bad…'
As the big lion ca closer as he started to rub himself on , I couldn't deny the fact that little Light still looked cute even when he wasn't in his 'little' state…
"You want to get on…?"
Once again, I was able to tell what he wanted to just by his gestures, which could only be either that I got so much better at handling animals or that this was indeed the doing of 'Blood Companion' and I was pretty much sure it was the latter.
"ow ow!"
Seeing Light's enthusiastic reaction, I didn't hesitate before jumping on his back, which was obviously wide enough for 5 more of . As Light's performance as a mount was sothing that I already wanted to test anyway, so it was all for the better since he was the one that asked for it himself!
"ow!"
Zzzzap!
As soon as I stabilized myself on Light's back, he let out another ow before he suddenly hit the ground with his front paw, propelling him to rush directly to the front as the faint sound of static electricity could be heard…
'This… Light is really full of surprises!'
Not only was Light's running capability similar to an experienced beast mount's, such as the lightning horse, but even his speed wouldn't lose to its speed either. Part of this could be simply attributed to the Thunder Lion's inheritance, which gave Light the experience he displayed even though it was his first ti, but the main reason as to why Light's speed was also astonishing was because he…
'Already using the 'Body of Elents'...?'
Though he didn't use full elentaliziation, neither should he be even able to do it to begin with, Light was still able to elentalize his paws to increase his speed, which wasn't within the capability of his normal elental art as well, but even if such astounding acts were ignored, just the fact that he was already capable of using 'Body of Elents' was a surprise on its own.
The combination of all these surprises accompanied by what had already happened had already returned my expression back to a very calm one, as I firmly decided that I wouldn't get astonished by whatever Light does once again!
Be it the Thunder Lion's hidden planning and intentions, the peculiarity of using my own elents as the source that assisted Light's birth or the crazy talent of this race and maybe just Light's terrifying talent as an individual… all of these seed to be more than enough reasons for Light to show so many surprises which is why I just planned to accept whatever surprises he would throw at in the future!
Zzzzap!
"It's ok little Light, you did very great! You can slow down now."
The sound of the lightning elents crackling around Light's paws was very audible, so I obviously didn't plan to continue this show and grab the attention of potential passerbys, which is why I patted Light to slow down and stop using his 'Body of Elents'.
Naturally, I had already understood the reason as to why Light wanted to try a ride on him through our resonated understanding, he was simply… asking for praise!
In simpler terms, he was showing off his abilities to so that I would praise him for it, much like a little child who wanted to prove himself to his father, so the key to keeping him happy while fixing the problem of the showy display aka making him stop using his 'Body of Elents' was to simply give him the praise that he wanted.
"owwww…"
Light's acceleration soon ca to a stop as I played with the fur above his head, as he almost purred like a little cat, all while still moving at a reasonable pace towards Battle City...
`~~`~~`~~`
Back in Battle City…
"There is no news coming from there yet…?"
The black bearded man sitting in front of the black crystal ball couldn't help but sweat as he reported in response, "nothing my lord… it seems that they might have really t a rare unfortunate occurrence…"
"You reassured that you had left an Ancient Bewitcher on the items that were the key to opening the path to the base, yet you have the gall to tell that sothing had gone wrong with that? Do you think I would doubt the potency of the Ancient Bewitchers or you own lousy work? Why don't you take a guess?" the voice that ca out from the crystal ball was clearly irritated, but it still wouldn't be hard to tell that he was completely composed, almost totally calm.
"The problem is that three of those who had the items had returned without any problems, only one was sowhat injured while the other two seed to have only gone for a walk, which is why I suspect that the fourth one is one of the 'Hunters'...." the man hurriedly used a napkin to remove the sweat that almost covered his face as he stated his suspicions.
"A hunter, huh? I thought that their numbers had already dwindled beyond recognition while we laid low for a long while, to think there is still one of them out there…"
