John Wicked: Endlessly Evolving My Pet Monsters-Chapter 10: Max and Maxon

After John communicated with the Abyssal Darkwind Eagle for a bit, he found out the little guy liked him for some reason and readily formed a soul contract with him.

"Now, what should I name you, little guy?"

"Woof! Woof!"

"No way. We are not naming him Poop!"

"Shii! Shi!"

"I decided. Your name is Pymon."

The Eagle whistled while trying to fly towards John and stuck on his face again.

John wryly smiled and pulled him off. "Yeah, yeah. I'm glad you liked it."

...

John caught up with Yuna, and when he saw her climbing the tree, his jaw dropped.

'So that's the Blazing Wheel Technique...'

Yuna had two flame wheels at her ankles, one left and one right, allowing her to climb the tree vertically at rapid speed.

'That's a super useful technique. During battles, the normal speed and maneuverability can increase so much with it.'

John really wanted a Soul Technique after seeing that.

Suddenly hearing the voice, John was taken aback, but his eyes shone. 'Functions? Chuthulos must have prepared some eldritch shit for me. Awesome.'

He couldn't wait, but he had to take things step by step to reach Silver-rank.

While Yuna went up the tree, John checked out nearby springs and started killing Bronze-rank aquatic monsters after using Soul Synergy.

Crimson Swipe could kill all Bronze-rank fish monsters in one shot. One slash, one kill. Soon, the twelve dead bodies of fishes floated up, and John extracted their Soul Cores.

He absorbed two and gave the rest to the Abyssal Darkwind Eagle.

John also made sure that the Eagle physically exerted itself by letting Alfred play with it.

Pymon almost got a few heart attacks as Alfred was like a monster to him, as Alfred ate him a few times before spitting him out.

However, after absorbing Soul Cores, the bird rapidly grew to the Adolescent Stage, reaching the size of an adult's arm with a wingspan twice as long.

Meanwhile, Yuna also found an Eagle she wanted to tame, so she descended, captured some aquatic monsters for bait, and climbed up the tree again before taunting and tempting the Eagle.

'Come on,' Yuna looked at the Eagle as it whistled towards her, appearing angry yet tempted.

It wanted that bunch of fish!

John saw how she was doing and shouted with a smile, "Good luck."

"Let's go, guys. We are going to hunt some more monsters to train Pymon and make it grow."

Naturally, he also wanted some Soul Cores to max out his Bronze-rank Soul Core.

'I have gained a lot of random Geno Points from all monsters I killed... Hmm, it's better to convert them into Gene Potential for Pymon.'

John kept Geno Points belonging to Fire-attributed Monsters and converted the rest of them into Gene Potential for Pymon.

From 0, it shot to 38 right off the bat. The increase was lower than what John expected, but he didn't care much since he would get tons of Geno Points during the ten days here.

"Hey, brother, want to have a duel with my Boxer King Primate?"

John looked at the yellow-colored, spiky-haired, muscular kid wearing a sleeveless shirt to exhibit his big biceps and plain trousers folded to a bit below his knees.

The kid gave off a country-side vibe, but that Boxer King Primate looked strong.

"If you win, I'll show you something good. Oh yeah, my name is Max, and this is my buddy, Maxon."

John blinked as he gazed at the nearly two-meter-tall primate with a shredded, muscular body, skipping across the ground like a boxer, his fists large and powerful.

'This guy is trained in combat.... John noticed the shape of this Boxer King Primate, and he had to admit this Max kid had trained his Pet Monsters and judging from his body, also trained himself quite well.

But he had also trained himself, and Alfred was no less powerful!

"Sure, but what do you mean, 'show me something good?" John asked while inspecting the Primate.

"Well, I kind of found something, but I need help to get it. So I'm challenging some people," Max grinned. "If they lose, I don't need their help. So far, everyone I challenged lost, and now it's your turn."

"Are you saying it's my turn to lose?" John smiled.

"Who knows?" Max shrugged.

"Well, let's find out," John chuckled. "The duel will only be between Pets or both Tamers and Pets?"

"Whatever you wish."

"Then let's go with both."

"Fine," Max said, a bit concerned. "I am quite good at holding back and disabling people without bleeding them. What about you?"

"Hmm, let's add some rules. How about the one who slaps another's back first wins? For Pet Monsters, the one to bleed first loses. The Pets will recover fast in Soul Space anyway."

"Nice. Let's do it," Max grinned.

The duel began with a distance of ten meters between them.

Max and Maxon used Quack Stride and instantly launched Combo Move as they jumped high, right towards John and Alfred, with both of their fists glowing as they used Meteor Punch, suddenly rocking downward towards John and Alfred.

John's pupils constricted as he quickly commanded Alfred.

Umbral Drift!

BOOM!

'Damn, that's destructive, but he aimed at the ground, which would have thrown him off, and then he could follow up quickly to disable me.'

'Woah, he dodged that, buddy!' Max was startled. This combo of skills was his sure-hit disabling move, and people usually fail to predict their action and the speed of Meteor Punch.

'Oooo, OOoo!'

'Yeah, that Pet Monster is also strong with some excellent skills. I've never even seen it before.'

John and Alfred in Umbral Drift returned to their original form ten meters high in the air, and both of them launched Malefic Roar together.

Max and Maxon suddenly felt their hearts quickening and legs freezing.

'W-What kind of skill is this...'

*Swoosh!

Crimson Swipe!

Although they froze, both Max and Maxon managed to use their skills right before two bloody slashes hit them.

But John and Alfred were descending and used Umbral Drift once again, streaking past Max and Maxon.

John slapped Max's back as he passed by while Alfred cut Maxon with Blood Claws, ending the duel.
