"This is going nowhere," Tang Shaoyang muttered, "Since you don't want to make your move, then I will."
He walked toward the Chimera spirit slowly, and he could see the creature was alerted. But this time the Chimera did not run or jump back, but he could tell that the Chimera was tensed up.
'Are you sure this is the same Chimera with the Chimera in your world?' Tang Shaoyang could not help but question the two spirits and stopped his advance.
It could be that the creature they were talking about and the spirit he summoned were different.
—No, I might forget anything else but not Chimera! My family was killed by this cursed creature, I would never forget about them!
Zaneos came with a strong answer. Only then Tang Shaoyang and Zowen realized why the Demon Swordsman was arguing with Zowen. His point was that Chimera was not Demon's creation, if the cursed creature was their creation, why would it kill the Demon too? So he was getting emotional when Zowen said Chimera was the Demon Race's creation.
—Yeah, I have fought eleven Chimeras in my life. The one in front of you is a real deal.
Both spirits confirmed that the spirit was the same Chimera.
—But it's indeed weird, Chimera should be aggressive to any race. They look at the living beings as food.
Zaneos understood Tang Shaoyang's doubt. The Chimera in their minds was truly different from the spirit Chimera in front of them, not in appearance but in nature. It could be said that the spirit Chimera in front of them was timid, not fit with the fearful Chimera.
—It should be related to your [Dragon Transformation]. Maybe Chimera could feel the Dragon Aura from you, that's why.
To confirm Zaneos's conjecture, Tang Shaoyang turned around and gestured to Li Na to come over. Moon brought Li Na over, the summon and its master stopped next to him.
He noticed that as soon as Li Na arrived next to him, her eyes glanced down toward his crotch. She must be curious what little Shaoyang looked like when he was in the [Dragon Transformation]. If it was a normal time, he would tease her. But now he had his priority, subduing the nameless Chimera.
Grrrhhhh! Hissss! Groarrhh!
The lion head was growling at Moon and Li Na, the goat head let out a beastly groan, and the snake hissed at the new guest.
'I see, so Chimera is also afraid of Dragon,' Tang Shaoyang smirked and approached the spirit Chimera. The nameless Chimera stopped antagonizing Li Na and Moon as it focused on him.
When the distance was a meter away, he stopped, "Can you understand me?" He asked the spirit, "If you understand me, nod, if you don't…" before he finished his words, the spirit Chimera nodded, all three heads.
"I will give you two choices!" He raised two out of his four fingers. Tang Shaoyang was shocked when he found out that he only had four fingers. He did not lose composure though as the spirit Chimera was still staring at him. It seemed to be waiting for him.
"First, you become my contracted spirit and I will listen to one request. Second, we fight!" Tang Shaoyang looked toward the spirit but it was confusing since they had three heads and three pairs of eyes. He focused his gaze on the lion's head, he thought the lion might be the one in charge, "Now choose!"
The snake, goat, and the lion exchanged glances, it seemed the three had different thoughts even though they were in the same body. It was kinda funny that one life, one body, but three minds.
Tang Shaoyang did not mind it and let the Chimera decide. At the same time, he was concerned about Zowen and Zaneos.
'You two seem to hate Chimera, but you don't mind having this dude as a companion, right?'
—I don't mind. I have killed the Chimera that killed my family.
Zaneos immediately replied.
—As long as this Chimera can help you get stronger, I don't mind too. Once more, I appreciate your consideration for asking us, but I don't think you should ask such a thing in the future. You are basically our Master, we follow you not the otherwise.
Zowen spoke out her mind.
Tang Shaoyang merely smiled at Zowen's advice. He did not respond to her, he just wanted them to know that he treated them not just as a tool. The fact Zowen spoke out like that, his tactic worked on them. He did not want their relationship to be contractual, he wanted more than that.
At this moment, The Chimera was done discussing. Without his command, the Chimera lowered their body in front of him. Right after that, a magical circle appeared above the body.
The Chimera was willing to form the contract willingly, 'But you haven't said your request yet,' he wanted to say that, but soon he realized that they could not communicate. They could communicate only after they formed the contract, just like between him and Malki.
Tang Shaoyang shook his hesitation and placed his hand on the magical circle. The Spirit Chimera turned into a dark crimson light in the size of a marble and entered his forehead.
[You have successfully established a contract with a spirit "The nameless adolescent Chimera"!]
[Do you want to name your spirit "The Nameless adolescent Chimera"?]
This was new for Tang Shaoyang, he usually did not name his spirit as they already had names. Zaneos, Karan, Malki, Zowen, and Rumru, all of them were named.
'Chimera, do you want me to name you?' He asked the newly contracted spirit. They were supposed to be able to communicate by now.
—Yes, Master!
Tang Shaoyang heard three different voices ringing in his head at the same time. It caught him off guard as he was not expecting that. But he was not surprised as to why the Chimera had three different voices.
"I am good at naming, so you can trust me," Tang Shaoyang hit his chest three times to assure the Chimera.
