Chapter 75 To Make A Beast

75 To Make A Beast

Taira pulled his mangled body off the ground with great difficulty.

If any of his wives or friends could see him now, they would undoubtedly be horrified.

His body that they were so fond of was now littered with bruises, claw marks, and bite wounds.

He wasn't sure how long he had been undergoing this surprise 'training' with the beast god.

Time seemed to be meaningless here, and he could have been within this space from anywhere to one hour to one year.

"Come on, sword! The time of a god is precious!" Fenris chided.

Taira growled as he pushed his silver hair out of his eyes just in time to see the beast god running at him on all fours.

He barely had time to throw his arms up and block the blow before a large clawed foot came barreling into them; shattering his forearms like glass.

"No! Are you damned stupid?!" Fenris roared.

As Taira was sent skidding backwards, the beast god finally unfurled a lethal combination on his face.

It started with a hard and swift uppercut that was immediately followed by a right hook; both of which cracked teeth in Taira's mouth.

"You are a beast now, sword! Do you think two predators worry about protecting themselves in the midst of combat?!"

When Taira started to fall back from Fenris' one-two punch, the beast god caught him by the wrist and pulled him back to his feet; allowing the momentum to carry him swiftly into his awaiting elbow.

"Of course not! Forget about tactics and forget about your defense, all you need is the desire to hurt me!!"

Just as Taira's knees started to give out from underneath him, a spinning heel kick to the jaw sent him flying face first into the ground.

He had never felt so thoroughly toyed with in his life.

The worst part about this ordeal was that Fenris was not even doing anything exaggerated.

There was no movement that Taira couldn't hope to follow, no power that was beyond his means to imitate.

The problem lie solely in the way that the beast god fought.

He was savage and unrelenting, and at the same time methodical in his attacks that were designed to establish superiority and make weaker prey feel even weaker.

It was grossly effective and left poor Taira in a pitiful state such as the one he was in now.

"You're embarrassing yourself, sword! To make matters worse, you're embarrassing those women you're so proud of as well!"

Taira's eyes immediately flashed open as he lie on top of the boundless ground.

He glared at the god with an expression of pure hatred as he started to claw his way back to his feet.

However, the same cannot be said for beasts.

Their moves are drastically less predictable due to their wild and savage attacks.

This can make them significantly more difficult to defend against, but the trade-off is that beasts tend to leave a great deal more openings because they are focused solely on attacking.

All of these reasons are why Fenris is so widely feared within the upper realm.

He alone had devised a method of combat that delicately tetered on the line between martial arts and animalistic savagery.

And now, he was trying to pass on that very same method onto Taira without explicitly saying what it was for.

However, such a thing appeared to be unnecessary.

Fenris' sword had yet to ask any questions so far about what the purpose for all of this was, or why he had to do it.

And with that said one look inside of his eyes, Fenris knew instantly that his sword had understood his intentions.

'Quite wonderful... there may be a place among us for you yet.'

As he smiled proudly, Fenris' vestige began to flicker and he realized the time on his technique was almost up.

"Hmm... I suppose we've gotten enough done for today. I will visit you again in fourteen days time to resume our lessons."

"I don't suppose that I have any say in-"

"No."

Taira rolled his eyes as he watched all of his 'wounds' and bodily fatigue finally begin to heal.

"Oh right. I need you to deliver a message for me, sword." Fenris suddenly said.

"You think me an errand boy?"

"It is not as though delivering this message will not benefit you as well.

Haven't you noticed that your body has different needs now that I've changed you?

Deliver this message for me and resources you desperately need to survive will be in your rightful possession."

"...Let me hear this message then."

Taira listened carefully to everything that the beast god had to say, and when he heard who the message was for, he nearly let out a cry of indignation.

'There's no way she's going to want to hear this shit.'
