Dark King

Dudian looked at the young splitter which was honing its scythes in front of the wall of the cave. So did it take him as a similar being because he was the first existence that it saw after it was born?

Too unscientific!

"There should be other reasons. This reason alone is too unreasonable ..." Dudian face changed. His mind told him that it would be to simply to explain everything just like that. Otherwise why humans would tame such ferocious existences? They had to steal their pups and show themselves to it at the beginning. Wouldn't it be so easy to tame that way?

No, it was too unreasonable.

Dudian thought of something as he looked down at his body. The hunter armor was full of blood. Previously when he was searching for the parasitic soul worm he had stained his armor with the blood of the splitter. Perhaps because of the smell of the blood the young splitter took him as its own brother... But that 'mother' idea was nonsense.

"I believe that it has temporarily mistaken me. But after a long time it would naturally be able to distinguish. If I wait for long then I would die ..." Dudian's eyes lit up as he looked at the young splitter. He made few steps and saw that the young splitter was still concentrated on honing its scythes. He thought of an idea.

His eyes shined and his blood boiled as he thought of the idea. One again he felt a hope.

"Come and come over." Dudian picked up the dagger form the ground and came close to the young splitter. He shouted out to call it. Though he knew that the young splitter might not be able to understand his language.

The young splitter turned back at Dudian. It's green eyes focused on him. The young splitter seemed to be confused.

Dudian didn't have experience in taming beasts but he had met people who had tamed puppy. He waved: "Come, come here..."

Dudian went sideways while he gestured at the young splitter.

After a moment the splitter slowly began to move towards Dudian.

Dudian was delighted as he saw that he actions were bringing effect. He guided the young splitter back to the entrance of the cave. In his heart he was calculating the time that the adult splitter took to hunt. Normally it would be just over thirty minutes. So he had about 15 to 20 minutes left before the adult splitter came back.

However it was possible that it would come back in few minutes.

If he couldn't get out in twenty minutes the his death would come.

Dudian was calm as he looked at the gap between the boulders. He pointed towards it and tentatively said: "Hit it! Hit!" His hands shot towards the rocky wall.

The young splitter looked at him as it was motionless.

Dudian was very nervous as he saw no response from the young splitter. But he tried not to show the anxiousness to it. There was only one way and that was to slowly guide it. He was patient as he repeatedly said: "Follow me! Hit! Hit it!" He beat the rocks with his hands.

The young splitter didn't respond as it quietly looked at him.

Dudian was becoming impatient as he shouted in anger: "Come on! Just chop it!" He continued to tap the rocks with hit both hands while he looked at the young splitter.

The young splitter looked for a while then slowly raised its scythes and began to cut the rock wall. The rough and harsh sounds began to echo out.

Dudian was relieved as he saw the young splitter comply with him: "Harder! With all your strength!"

The young splitter saw him stop so it discontinued too.

Dudian was stunned. He began to continuously beat the rock with both his hands.

The young splitter saw him so it immediately lifted the scythe like forelimbs and cut the rock.

puff! puff!

The scythes were able to just scratch the massive boulder.

Dudian saw that the young splitter wouldn't be able to cut through the complete boulder even if it took a whole day. However just half a meter away from that place there was a gap. He thought that if he could direct it to cut and enlarge that gap then there would be chance.

"Come on, follow me, take three steps ..." Dudian tried to guide the young splitter.

However the young splitted ignored him and continued to cut the boulder in front of him.

Dudian increase the pitch of his voice to catch its attention. He moved back and forth for a while.

About a minute later the young splitter also learned to move like Dudian. It was standing in front of the gap.

Dudian was speechless. He wanted to give warm applause to himself: "Come on! Do it with vigor! Put all your strength and effort!" Afterwards he began to punch the rock.

The young splitter continued to act the way Dudian demonstrated. It's scythe like arms were cutting the sides of the gap and lots of small stones were extracted.

Dudian was excited. Indeed it was a legendary monster. It's learning ability was terrible. It was much terrorizing than a human baby.

"Hurry up!"

Dudian pretended to hit faster. Moreover he knew that it couldn't understand his own words.

Bang! Bang!

The young splitter was cutting the gap and enlarging it.

Dudian saw the gap was big enough for him to squeeze through so he shouted: "stop! Stop!"

The young splitter heard the sound and looked at Dudian. It saw that he had stopped so it didn't continue to cut the boulder.

Dudian saw that it was standing in front of the gap so he quickly rushed back to the cave: "Follow me! Come here!"

The young splitter saw him run away and took back its eyes. It continued with the previous cutting exercises.

Dudian was angered as he saw the young splitter not following after him. He picked up a claw of monster from ground and threw at it. Bang!

The young splitter raised its front limbs in rage and turned its head. It rushed over to the cave.

Duian rushed into the mountain of corpses. He threw their bodies at the young splitter to divert its attention.

Afterwards Dudian ran back the entrance of the cave. He squeezed into the big gap drilled by the young splitter. He took off his hunter armor as some parts of the armor were too hard. He was accounting for space right now.

There was only shorts on him as his upper body was bare. He drilled into the gap.

The gap was too narrow. He was able to squeeze his head freely but his shoulder was stuck because of several inches.

Dudian clenched his teeth as he knew that he couldn't back down in here and leave to die. He forced himself out as the stones rubbed his flesh and penetrated it. There was pain coming off from his right part of shoulder. The skin should be bleeding.

Dudian creeped inside like a bug. After he was able to pass his shoulder the following parts were much easier.

Dudian moved inch by inch as he palms caught onto the rocks. The little gap in front of him was the hope that he was crawling onto.

His shoulder bumped into variaty of rough stones as he cwaled. Half the way he felt a sharp pain from his shoulder. A stone tip had pierced into his body.

Dudian growled in pain. He clenched his teeth and forced his body out. He felt that his shoulder was torn. It was the same feeling as being pierced with spike.

Dudian roared and pushed forward.

His palms caught the outside part of the boulder. He burst with strength as his body squeezed out and fell to the ground.

Hiss~~!

A faint and anxious call came from behind the gap. It was the young splitter.

Dudian didn't cared much about the young splitter which had come back. He looked at the sun and identified the direction. He had to go to the right!

Bang! Bang!

Dudian was running but he still couldn't help but look back. He saw that boulder which was located ten meters above the ground was shaking. He didn't think that the power of the newborn was so terrible. However there was no point at looking back. He ran away as fast as he could.
