Frostfire Legacy

Chapter 157: Fluffy Savior

The Rogue Boss, Razor-Edge Alpha Hyena, carefully bypassed the cloud of Monster Repellant, keeping its gaze locked onto Aster. It released a series of high-pitched noises, sounding as if it were laughing.

"..."

Despite it being near high noon, Aster's vision was dark. The pain from his shoulder, along with his punctured lung and extreme bleeding, made him unable to even lift a single finger.

In stories, usually, the main character would move beyond their body's limits despite all the injuries they suffered—however, in reality, that wasn't possible. His head was light from blood loss, and his limbs no longer listened to his commands. All he could do was wait for the death gradually approaching him.

The Alpha hyena stepped closer, standing just a foot away from Aster's head, and sneered. It lifted its front leg, moving as if to smash his head to a pulp, but Aster could only stare at it and watch.

"...!"

And just as the leg was about to come down...

*CRACKLE!* *BOOOOM!*

A powerful golden lightning suddenly fell, striking the rogue boss with surgical precision. The sparks spread, but not a single one touched Aster, who was lying on the ground.

"This is...!"

Despite his vision darkening, he could still see what happened clearly. A furball fell from the sky, clad in golden lightning!

It had a majestic body covered in white fur, a fierce pair of eyes, majestic ears standing straight atop its head, and four powerful-looking limbs. Golden sparks kept coming out of its body, as if it were wearing it.

The majestic beast before Aster was a half-meter-tall Shiba Inu clad in Heavenly Golden Lightning!

"Yeah, no..." Aster chuckled, recalling his pet in the past—one that left the world of the living long before he was frozen. "It can't be."

The Alpha hyena, struck by lightning, was stunned for a while. However, as expected, it didn't look like it was damaged much, even from that overpowered attack.

*GRRRR!*

Rather, it looked angry after having its fun interrupted!

*ARF!*

"...!"

The small dog turned its head slightly, glancing at Aster's state. Sadness and worry could be seen within its pale blue and lime green—both with a hint of gold—pair of heterochromatic eyes.

'It can't be... Is it really Argus?!'

Aster felt as if he were knocked awake. The gestures of it, along with its eyes filled with wisdom and love, among other things, were extremely reminiscent of his pet dog in the past!

Although he wanted to confirm, he was barely hanging on to his consciousness. As if the little husky understood this, it turned to face forward, as if to protect Aster behind him.

Around the same moment, the Rogue Boss hyena finally regained its freedom from the long stun. It felt humiliated, seeing how its "enemy" just stood there—something that's not even half of its size—casually watching as it suffered, unable to move its body freely!

The Razor-Edge Alpha Hyena didn't hold back at all, rushing forward in a powerful leap. Using its sharp body covered in protruding bones as sharp as blades, it wanted to shred the little puppy before him, along with the human that it was toying with.

*SPARK!*

But before it could even touch them, a powerful rain of sparks fell, causing it to spasm. Each little spark contained little to no power but was enough to freeze its movements for a split second. And within that "split-second" gap, more and more sparks landed, causing its body to stop in place, stuck in a never-ending hell of electrocution.

*ARF!*

Finally, along with a powerful bark, something fell from the sky. A pillar of light—no, it was a large, red, lightning bolt!

The Alpha hyena, unable to dodge, along with the other one, who was still rolling within the Monster Repellant smoke, were roasted by the powerful current flowing through their bodies.

In a flash, their bodies were charred to cinders, before dissipating into ashes. There was nothing that remained of their corpses!

The little husky maintained its vigilance, sweeping a wary gaze around. There were a few monsters who were watching them from afar, but after seeing how the Alpha got owned, they tucked their tails and ran faster than lightning.

*Whine...*

After making sure that there was no more danger, the little husky moved close to Aster and slapped away the dead hyena from his shoulder. The wound, which now opened up after the teeth sinking into it were removed, bled much faster.

Out of concern, the little husky started to lick the wound. And right then, a miracle happened.

Aster's wounds started to release a golden light, similar to the golden lightning that fell over the alpha hyena first. After a while, the gold light started to seep into his wounds, before it started to close up, as if time were reversing itself.

His face, filled with agony and pain earlier, slowly returned to a peaceful one, with his breathing stabilizing.

Seeing that he was getting better, the little husky waved its tail excitedly, before moving toward Aster's chest, snuggling against him. As if relishing the past, it started at Aster's face, before curling up and closing its eyes.

The sparks covering its pure white fur slowly died down, leaving it to look no different than a normal husky. But, of course, the little pup didn't forget to keep watch over the surroundings. Read the latest on m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net

Aster was out of commission, so it needed to protect him until he regained consciousness!

"Mmm..."

Slowly, Aster opened his eyes and blinked a few times. The surroundings were still bright, meaning, not much time had passed. "How long was I out...?" He wondered out loud, trying to raise his body from the rough ground.

*ARF!*

Right as he sat up, he found that there was a little furball snuggled against him. Almost by reflex, Aster's hand moved, patting the little pup. Its pure white fur, soft and silky, was nice to the touch. But more than that, the familiar feeling of petting it sealed the deal in his mind.

"You... you're Argus, right?" He asked, half in disbelief, and half in surprise.

*ARF!* *ARF!*

The husky, after hearing its name called once again, jumped up in joy and started to lick Aster's face—its tail wagging so much, it looked like it would fall off. This playful act, the familiar tone of its bark, its odd eye, and its pure white coat—everything added up and proved that he wasn't mistaken!

The dog, who came to save him, was none other than his old friend and pet!
