Chapter 608: Bond Cemented

Chapter 608: Bond Cemented

Dumpy felt extremely nervous while attacking Leo, as in his head the man that he was attacking now was the legendary warrior Lord Father, who had never lost a battle in his life.

This psychological disadvantage played against him, as it made him second guess his very decision.

*Block*

*Block*

*Block*

*Block*

Without even moving an inch, Leo blocked his first blitz of attacks without even breaking a sweat, as he casually waved his dagger with a single arm to block all of Dumpy’s hardest swung attacks.

*Yawn*

Yawning arrogantly, Leo began wiping the tears coming out of his eyes as he looked extremely disinterested in the fight itself.

‘As expected of Lord Father, such attacks that would kill a pack of wolves don’t even faze him’ Dumpy thought, as he decided to suddenly switch it up and attack Leo with his poisonous tongue when he least expected it.

*Slooop*

Dumpy extended his tongue, thinking he could catch Leo off-guard from close range, however, he was wrong.

Dodging the attack with ease, Leo looked at him with a smug smile behind his mask, as he said “By the time you extended and retracted your tongue, I could have chopped it down into three small pieces.

This was a stupid move to make, if it were a real opponent that you were facing, this gamble would have cost you your tongue”.

Leo’s words startled Dumpy, who became even more clumsy with his attacks, as his self doubt reached his peak.

If it were any other opponent, he would not have attacked with so many hesitations, however, since he was Leo and he felt as if the normal attacks would never work against him, he complicated his fighting style more than necessary.

*Block*

*Block*

*Block*

Blocking his attacks again and again, Leo made sure to ascertain his superiority in front of Dumpy, as it was only after he saw fear creeping into the eyes of his pet that Leo finally retaliated.

*Kick*

Kicking his knees hard, Leo forced Dumpy to fall flat on his belly, as he came down to one knee.

This was the first time that Dumpy experienced a head on clash of strength against Leo and it was only now that he understood the vast gap that separated them both.

His legs were his strongest muscle and the reason behind his rapid burst of speed, however, after taking just one kick from his master, they became as good as useless as he could not move the muscle at all.

Limping, he tried his best to hold on, however, within two moves, Leo managed to disarm him and point a dagger to his chest, as he concluded the battle with ease.

“Is this how you wish to follow me into battle? Is this trash skill backing that massive ego of yours you put on display for the world?

If this trash skill is all you’ve got then the next war is going to be your last one….” Leo said, as Dumpy hung his head in shame.

“The Lord Father is too powerful….” Dumpy acknowledged, as with this, Leo’s position as a powerful master was cemented in his heart forever.

Now, even if he surpassed Leo in strength someday, he would no longer look down on him, ensuring that he obeyed Leo forever.

“Indeed, your Lord Father is very powerful, which is why you must surpass him someday.

The new buds of a tree grow into new branches that make the tree top even taller, so it’s your duty to surpass the realm that I hold through your hard work and perseverance” Leo said, as he expressed his hope of Dumpy surpassing him in strength someday, just so that the frog was clear on what he was supposed to achieve and did not become cocky when he eventually surpassed Leo.

“This lowly pet won’t disappoint Lord Father” Dumpy said, as Leo nodded in acknowledgement.

“Reflect on today’s loss well…. We head out for war in two days” Leo instructed, as turning his back on Dumpy, he began moving towards his own office.

Leo read this notification feeling a sense of relief, as over the past 30 days, he seriously doubted whether or not he could get Dumpy to genuinely respect him.

“With Dumpy unlocking his racial traits, he has become a dependable pet. As long as I don’t lose his trust by treating it badly, I’ve now gained a lifelong valuable ally that can perhaps help me defeat the Black Dragon Drogo in our ultimate battle” Leo muttered to himself, as with his bond with Dumpy being cemented, he felt a huge burden lighten from over his shoulders.
