As Jack posed the question, the air seemed to still for a moment.
"Can I know your name?"
The Harpy blinked, visibly surprised. Her wings rustled behind her with a faint.
WHOOSH!
Betraying the rare crack in her usual confidence.
"…Huh?" she tilted her head, smiling wryly. "You're asking for my name? Why? Planning to write me a love poem or something?"
Jack chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.
"No, nothing like that. I just thought… since we'll probably meet again and again, it'd be weird not to know the name of someone who's helping shape my and my family destiny."
Ding.
A faint chime echoed in the battlefield as if the world itself acknowledged the weight of his words.
The Harpy's teasing expression softened. For the first time, something gentle flickered in her sharp eyes.
"Well," she said, placing a hand on her hip with mock arrogance, "My master didn't exactly say, 'Don't tell him your name,' so technically… I've got permission.'
She leaned in, close enough for her hair to brush past his shoulder
WHOOSH!
Her voice was soft, yet tinged with playful pride.
"My name is Sora."
Then, with a slight tilt of her head and a faint smirk, she added:
"Nice to officially introduce you again, Mr. Chosen One."
Jack's lips curled into a small, warm smile. "Sora… A beautiful name."
"Hmph! Flattery, huh?" she snorted, flicking his forehead
THWACK!
"That won't get you more divine treasures, you know."
Jack laughed, then inhaled deeply. The air around him shimmered slightly. His gaze turned focused.
"Let's do it," he said, voice steady. "I'm ready to begin the my contact with Beast Egg and Life Bond Artifact."
Sora stepped back, wings spreading wide..
WHOOM!
As divine energy surged from her palm.
The rainbow coloured egg and bracelet floated between them, glowing brighter than ever.
"The contract of destiny begins now," Sora declared, her tone turning solemn. "From this moment onward… you and these divine treasures are bound together."
-----
Sora's playful air faded. Her eyes sharpened, and her wings fell still. A rare seriousness settled into her tone.
"Good," she said quietly. "Then let me explain."
She extended her hand, pointing toward the radiant rainbow coloured egg that pulsed faintly on a floating pedestal near Jack.
Ding... hum...
"First, we'll begin with the contract for the Legendary Beast Egg."
A soft breeze swirled around them.
WHOOSH!
As the battlefield grew still, as though time itself was waiting.
"To start," Sora continued, "you must draw Blood Essence from your body. Not just normal blood… but Essence. The core of your being. The source of all living beings life force in this Samsara World."
Jack's heart thudded..
Thump... Thump...
"Forming a beast contract using Blood Essence," she said, "is far more powerful than using ordinary blood. It binds the soul… not just the flesh. A life bond that no time or distance can easily break."
Jack nodded, absorbing every word with unwavering focus.
"Most Beast Tamers," she went on, "store their contracted beasts inside expensive pouches that contain a small internal realm. Others just let their beasts follow them like pets… like your father does."
She smiled faintly, a glimmer of fondness passing through her eyes.
"But there's a forgotten way," she said, voice dropping low like a whisper of ancient secrets. "An Ancient Beast Taming Method. A technique lost to time. With it, you can create a Beast Taming Space inside your Sea of Knowledge, your mind realm. Every beast you tame will reside within you. Hidden. Safe."
Crack!
A faint crackle of energy surged around her hand as she formed a rune mid-air, letting the ancient technique pulse outward.
Jack's breath caught in his throat. His hands trembled, but not from fear, excitement roared inside him.
"But As you know because of Your Supreme Blessings you can Practice all other Professional Class skills and Spells but their is limitation to that. Because of this you can only choose three beast as your Tamed beast in your entire life time. Other hand Beast Tamers can form beast Taming contract with beasts accounting to each time they breakthrough to next major Ascendants stage"
Hearing this new information Jack shocked and become exited.
"Can… Can I teach this to my father too?" he asked quietly.
Sora's eyes softened, and she gave a small nod. "Yes. You can."
And just like that, she began.
Her instructions were clear, like a melody flowing through the air. Every rune she described, Jack memorized. Every chant she whispered, he absorbed. Within minutes, the foundational method was engraved into his Sea of Knowledge.
"Now," Sora said, her voice lowering with weight, "Comes the real part."
She stepped aside, letting the rainbow coloured glowing egg take center stage once again.
"Draw your Blood Essence. Let it touch the egg. Then sit and meditate. Channel the technique I taught you. The contract will begin… and the Legendary Egg will become your Life Bond Beast."
"Like Life Bond Artifacts, Life Bond Tamed Beast share Life And Death with their Masters. Once Owners Died Their Existence also erased from this World"
But her next words struck like thunder….
BOOM!
"Beware," she warned, eyes narrowing. "When using this technique for the first time… there will be pain. Unbearable pain. In your Sea of Knowledge. If you faint mid-process, you risk injuring it. And such wounds"
She paused. Her gaze was heavy.
"Cannot be healed by normal means."
Jack's fists clenched. He inhaled sharply through his nose and exhaled slowly. His body trembled not with fear, but with the weight of destiny.
"I'm ready."
He unsheathed his dagger.
SHING!
And made a small cut across his fingertip. Drip... drip...
Then, focusing inward, he followed Sora's instructions pulling out not mere blood… but Blood Essence.
It emerged like liquid starlight.
His blood, unlike any normal human's, shimmered with a Golden Crimson glow. The very air around it buzzed..
CRACKLE!
Sora's eyes widened slightly, breath catching. Even though she already knows this will happen still this amazed her.
"A High-Human…" she whispered, voice full of awe. "So it's true…Master really going all out. He even give full access of his blessings to this human"
Even though she'd known the truth deep down, seeing it with her own eyes still made her heart race.
The glowing drop of Golden Crimson Essence slid from his finger..
Drip...Ding!
And landed on the Legendary Egg.
BOOOOOM!
A shockwave of light burst from the egg as radiant rainbow colors surged in all directions, filling the battlefield like a divine aurora.
Jack didn't hesitate. He dropped into a cross-legged position and closed his eyes.
The ancient technique awakened within him by each time he practice.
Symbols and diagrams spun in his mind. His Sea of Knowledge trembled..
CRACK!
As the bond process began.
The Legendary Egg pulsed in response.
THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...
From this moment, a sacred bond was forming.
Between man and beast.
Between essence and soul.
And the Samsara World… would never be the same again.
For the first time in countless years, the forgotten echoes of an Ancient Beast Taming Technique stirred once more.
A technique thought lost buried beneath time, sealed by myth now awakened within a boy bearing Golden Crimson Blood Essence.
From this day forward... the world would witness the rise of a Beast Tamer unlike any before.
A storm was coming.
And its name… was Jack.
