Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 246

"Everyone can see that the spirit-manipulated beast is dying. Why can't they treat it well? They are real bastards without any conscience." Sheridan was visibly upset when he saw that the creature was breathing its last and would soon die.

Seeing the beast's condition, Rocky thought of an idea and his eyes lit up. With eagerness that he could not hide, he asked Sheridan how he planned to deal with the situation.

"The creature breathes, its heart beats, and it is a life form, just like we are. I will find a suitable place to bury it." And Sheridan was obviously grief-stricken.

"Sheridan, I am going out as I have an important task to attend to. I can bury it for you. You take care of yourself." After Rocky said those words, he picked up the spirit-manipulated beast, flung it on his left shoulder, and left the beast farm.

"What has come over him? I wonder why he is showing so much kindness today," Sheridan murmured to himself suspiciously, as he saw Rocky's receding figure.

What Sheridan did not know was that Rocky had not offered to bury the spirit-manipulated beast out of any kindness that he felt for it. He had other plans. Therefore, instead of doing as he had said to Sheridan, Rocky took it directly to the laboratory he had built.

Once there, he addressed the creature and said, "Do not worry. I will help you. I will make sure that you feel no pain." Rocky knew all too well that it was in unbearable pain and agony. Therefore, without any delay, he put the spirit-manipulated beast on the cold operating table. Having done that, he gathered a little spiritual power in his palm, placed it on its heart, and pressed it gently.

The creature could not live and predictably died soon after that, as its heart, its arteries, and its veins had been shorn into tiny fragments, and were now nothing but pulp.

With the spirit-manipulated beast dead, Rocky had obtained a free corpse to experiment on. He wanted to practice how to operate on its dead body, and conduct some experimental operations on it, as that would give him an edge in the future.

Before Rocky knew it, he had been experimenting for three days.

And as the creature's corpse could not be preserved for long under normal temperatures, Rocky had no choice but to bury it - the first cadaver he had experimented on. Therefore, he carried what remained of it, found a large hole in the desolate forest that was near his laboratory, and buried it there.

Rocky did what he had to, but he was not happy for he could not experiment longer on the creature's body. Therefore, on his way back, he muttered to himself, "I need to find a new dead body to experiment on now," and started speculating how he could do it. Then, after he had finished his daily routine jobs, he started taming little Rubygon.

Recently, little Rubygon had revealed its wild nature by running away in the wild without taking Rocky's permission. It was extremely unruly, and had it not been for Uriah's help, Rocky would not have been able to restrain it.

Taming a spirit-manipulated beast was a complex and challenging job. It required a combination of harsh and mild tactics. A new hand, Rocky was inexperienced in taming spirit-manipulated beasts in real life. Although he had theoretical knowledge about it, as he had studied Beast Taming Skills, there was a tremendous gap between theory and practice.

In spite of his innate talent, Rocky could not bring little Rubygon under his control. He could not break its spirit, as it resisted both strategies. Neither a severe nor a soft approach impacted it. No matter what Beast Taming Skills Rocky used, little Rubygon stayed the way it was - wild and untamed, like a spoiled princess, who did what caught her fancy without fearing or caring for anyone.

"You little thing, I swear I will tame you and teach you to be obedient. If I do not do that, I will take your name, and call myself Rubygon," Rocky said, and stared at little Rubygon. It seemed that he had been wrestling with little Rubygon.

In the following days, apart from his daily work, Rocky had one more thing to do - staring at little Rubygon, as they stood in the central field. Initially, both stared at each other peacefully. However, later, little Rubygon became impatient and got irritated with Rocky, so it started attacking him. Rocky also adopted harsh tactics and beat little Rubygon until it was blue.

After a few days, he found that little Rubygon had become obedient. Even the expression in its eyes conveyed timidity. Gleaning from how Rocky had been treating little Rubygon lately, it seemed that only violence could have tamed it. However, if that were true and little Rubygon was scared of Rocky, then that meant that his previous experiment had come to nothing.

Therefore, Rocky began to use the Beast Taming Skills he had learned, to tame little Rubygon. Additionally, he started taking it and Uriah to hunt for some menial wild spirit-manipulated beasts so that he could sufficiently exercise it.
