Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

The tiger's claw landed heavily, gashing across Tyr's torso and stomach.

[Vitality: 17/21-->3]

The instant pain from this was excruciating. It was levels beyond what Tyr had ever experienced before, obliterating through even his pain-removing adrenaline.

Blood splattered across the ground below him as the tiger pushed him down onto his back--holding both of his limbs down.

Blood bubbled out from his mouth. The slash from before revealed some of his ribcage--scraping off a several large chunks of meat.

Along with that, the lowest claw narrowly avoided puncturing Tyr's organs--leaving only one layer of flesh between the outside world and his inner guts.

Hanzo sprinted over, moving around the boulders and finally laying his eyes on Tyr.

'Shit! I should have assisted more!' He exclaimed, pulling his bowstring back fiercely as a wave of killing intent burst out of him.

"STOP!" Tyr screamed, his eyes bloodshot and his face covered. His breathing was racked, mucus and blood getting in the way.

Hanzo lowered his bow, clenching his jaw in frustration.

"Damn it... I'm trusting you, Tyr. Don't die!" He said, his pupils dancing with genuine concern. Even though he hadn't known the boy long, he still liked him--despite their arguments.

He almost began to become a little brother of sorts, reminding Hanzo of someone he once knew...

The tiger opened its maw, preparing to bite Tyr's head off like a grape.

'Hypnosis!' Tyr finally found his opportunity. Despite the mental and physical trauma, excruciating pain, and devastating exhaustion radiating through his body right now--he knew that this was his only chance. He wasn't going to fuck it up...

The beast's retina enveloped in a hazy blue color.

"Lay on your stomach and calm down..." Tyr uttered in a low tone, feeling his consciousness slowly slip through his fingers.

Tyr knew that one of the ways he could tame a beast was by having it be in a calm state. For now, this was his only option.

The other two options were to have the beast subdued or in a heavily injured state, both of which obviously weren't feasible right now.

The tiger stopped what it was doing at once, laying on its stomach atop Tyr.

'It's way stronger than me, so I have less time with Hypnosis. Approximately 3 seconds. I can't afford to mess up.'

Hanzo squinted his eyes, trying to understand what was happening in front of his eyes.

'Am... I seeing this correctly?' He mused with bewilderment.

Tyr slowly raised his shaking hand, placing his palm on the white chest of the beast as he felt its loud heartbeat. It was thunderous, like a drum; and powerful enough to make Tyr's body tremble slightly each time it pounded.

Tyr closed his eyes, concentrating deeply on the task at hand.

'Match its heartbeat with mine.' He took a couple of seconds to do this. Despite time running short, he didn't allow himself to panic. Right now, he needed to be calm more than anything else.

This was his only chance. If he were to mess up, he couldn't save himself with Blink Step either as his Stamina was below 5. Taking on such a big blow demolished his endurance capabilities.

He calmed his breathing, his heart finally matching in rhythm to the tiger.

"Soul Marking. Become my pet..." Tyr declared, angry, frustrated, writhing in pain, but also enthralled.

He felt a sapping of energy from deep within his core. This was the spell taking his life energy. His entire body nearly went limp for a fraction of a second, but he gritted his teeth and stayed in his current position.

For a moment, there was a delay; the tiger attempting to fight back against Tyr's taming.

However, for some reason, it didn't fight for long. This may have been because of Tyr's immense determination to get it as a pet, or perhaps something else... Tyr was too busy to think about that right now.

A fragment of both his and the tiger's souls connected as soon as the beast gave way--releasing a bright white light between their chests.

Hanzo was almost mesmerized as he saw this. 'I've never seen a beast calm down so fast and so willingly... just who is this crazy caveman?'

After this, a mark was sealed and inscribed onto both of their souls that resembled a pentagram of sorts.

With that, the blue haze over the tiger's eyes disappeared.

[Stamina: 2/25]

Tyr's arm dropped to the floor like a ragdoll's limb, his breathing coarse and weak.

Tyr smiled through his bloody teeth, "Ha...ha... I did it." He gazed deeply into the eyes of his new monstrous pet: "Your name..."

"Will be..."

"Rudra."
