Chapter 777 The Awakening Of The Hero Of Wild Beasts!
-----
Luck felt the power, he felt the energy coursing through his body. This strange energy he had seen and sensed before only on Lara… This was Mana. Somehow, through that strange vision, he had managed to awaken his own Mana.
FLUOOSH!
Within his very soul, several circles lined up together with strange runes. They had not the shape of any runes ever seen before, as they resembled animals. And they continued growing over his Magic Circle constantly… dozens, hundreds, thousands!
FLAAAASH!
Luck started overflowing with a gold, beastly aura he had never felt before on his entire life…
"W-What is this…?!"
Yet, as this happened, he recalled something his brother had once told him.
"When you were born, we suddenly heard the roars of many beasts around the forest, for some reason. That really scared the villagers, some thought you were a cursed child because you would bring disaster to the village… But well, it was just a coincidence, right?" His brother once said. "Though, I do wonder… if maybe it wasn't. And what could it had really meant?"
This strange connection Luck always felt with animals, whenever he hunted rats or rabbits, how he often sensed a bit of a strange, electrifying feeling whenever he caught them and touched them…
Or the times he often dreamed very vividly of possesing the body of a bird and flying across the skies as if he was one…
All of these weird coincidences slowly lined up, could this all had been a reaction to this power? This talent developing deep within him?
"GRUOOOHHHH!!!"
The Giant Wild Boar noticed Luck sitting down on the floor in surprise, and instantly charged on him to kill him for once… The beast, a Tier 2 monster, had a big enough Magic Crystal capable of helping it conjure Mana.
With the last bit of Mana the beast possessed, it reached Luck with an extremely fast charge, its entire body suddenly overflowing with red flames, as its fur turned red from all the blood, fusing with it!
"W-What the…? I see, that's why you were so resilient!"
CLAAAASSHH!!!
Luck leaped right before the Wild Boar were to crush him with its "new" form… despite it being its actual form, its true power.
The Wild Boar was in fact a Blazing Wild Boar, a Tier 3 Monster! It is known that when they don't activate their flames, they look identical to normal Giant Wild Boars…
However, one thing to notice is how much more resilient and stronger they are compared to their normal relatives…
A Giant Blazing Wild Boar was the beast that took his father's life too.
Luck began to wonder if this beast could had been the very one that took his father away from him.
"Eh? I… leaped so high?" Luck realized it a bit too late, but the moment he jumped away, he was sitting on the top of a tree several dozens of meters away from his previous position. "A-Amazing…"
This overflowing energy he felt coursing through his body not only was just pure magic, but it boosted his own physique. This was… the power of the King of Beasts, the Hero of Wild Beasts.
"Use my power, young king."
Suddenly, the voice of an old entity spoke through Luck's mind.
"Your power? Who are you?"
FLUOSH!
Suddenly, the floating, golden manifestation of a Divine Beast Spirit emerged behind Luck, shocking the young wolf boy.
It resembled a beautiful, regal tiger with golden fur and black stripes, and a prideful smile, with sharp, red eyes.
"I am the Golden Tiger King, the Divine Beast of Light and Bravery." He spoke. "I, and many of my siblings, have been told to aid you in your endeavors from now on from Lady Rhea, our mother."
"Lady Rhea?!" Luck quickly remembered such a name, that was the Goddess most Anima prayed to, the Goddess of Life and Motherhood, that represented the love of a mother, life, animals, and nature.
"Indeed, young king. You possess her divine blessings, and therefore, you've inherited the powers of the Ancient Beast King. You're technically, his reincarnation." Said the Golden Tiger. "Now, there's not much time. Concentrate, you don't have much Mana left!"
"A-Alright!" Luck nodded, he had to process everything quickly, but he knew the tiger was right, he didn't had time to dabble into things when he had a prey to take down. "How do I use this magic?"
"Simply say "[Divine Beast Awakening]" to awaken my powers within you." Said the Golden Tiger. "Once you do that, you'll-"
"[Divine Beast Awakening]!"
FLAAAASH!
"O-Oi! Let me finish speaking at least!"
FLUOOSH!
The power of the Golden Tiger Divine Beast Spirit instantly flew into Luck's body, merging with him completely. His Mana was being constantly drained as his entire body changed slightly.
His brown skin gained black stripes, and his black hair suddenly became golden, while more fur grew on his arms, legs, and his tail, which grew thrice as long, with black stripes as well!
Luck's wolf-like ears changed, becoming like those of a tiger, sharp and triangular, while his eyes glowed with red color, and his teeth became sharp fangs, his nails turned into golden claws, and his entire body overflow with a power he never thought he held within himself.
"RAAAAHHHH!!!"
"GRUOOOHHH!!!"
Luck and the Giant Blazing Wild Boar clashed in an intense battle. The Wild Boar's blazing tusks reached Luck, as he managed to stop it by grabbing them with his very hands.
"GRUOHH?!"
The beast instantly was shaken as it was slightly lifted by Luck, who was gritting his teeth furiously.
"UUNNGGH…! C-Come on…!" Luck groaned, as he glanced at the Blazing Wild Boar unleashing its flames over his body, burning him!
However, in a split of a second, he suddenly noticed something within the wild boar's chest, a small, cracked knife made up of a wild boar's tusk stuck there.
He recalled the cracked knife piece that his brother gave to him once was said to belong to his father, the other half must have remained within the one beast that killed him.
And here it was…
"Y-You're the one…! I won't forgive you! RAAAAHHHH!!!"
Luck roared like a wild beast, lifting the gigantic Blazing Wild Boar and then launching it into the nearest tree!
CRAAAAASSSSHH!!!
