The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 117: My first real pet

After I set my eyes on the monster and decided to tame it, I didn't make a move immediately. I first took a look at the surroundings. If its family is nearby, I would leave or else I can try my luck taming it.

I looked around for a while but found nothing.

The cub was eating a monster, hmm...looking at it, the dead one looked to be dead for a while, not a fresh kill. It appears that the cub is scavenging. There is no need for scavenging if the cub's parents are already present but it looks like they are either dead or abandoned the cub.

Since the possibility of it being alone is very high compared to having someone here, I decided to act and tame it before it see me and run away.

Unlike last time, this time I used a permanent taming scroll. Unlike Thunder Wolf which was commonly heard about, I never heard or saw or read about a monster like this.

"Tame".

The scroll flew out and appeared above the little monster. It alarmed at first but it was quickly tamed.

The moment it was tamed, inari ran towards it shouting, "So cute..."

Inari lifted the cub and started playing with it. Though it is my pet, it doesn't matter if Inari wants to spend some time with it.

"Name me master"

Huh? Who said that?

"Name me master"

"Wait is that you little one?" I spoke to my newly tamed monster, which was currently being cuddled by Inari at the moment.

Cuddled might be a weak word to describe what she was doing to the monster.

Yap! Yap!

Oh, it looks like my pet is a telepathic monster, a very rare ability monster. No wonder I never heard about this one.

Either the information is very restricted or it doesn't exist in the world of Ragos.

Anyway, that was for the future me to deal with. Now what should I name the monster?

"It sounded female, so how about calling you Asya?"

Woof! Woof!

The monster gave its consent and a bright light appeared on its head before turning into a status panel, the monster's status panel.

--

Name: Asya

Species: Psychic Fox

Age: Young Cub

Skills: Telepathic Communication; Confusion;

Oh, cool.

It looks like the master has to name the monster tamed or else they wouldn't see the monster's details. No wonder I couldn't see the Thunder wolf's status or even Inari.

However, I doubt if Inari can be counted as she is not a monster and she has a name before I got to know her.

Hmm, if naming is what determines whether one can view the monster's abilities, then I suppose it is not best to tame adult monsters that made names for themselves in the wild.

Though they may have no specific name, they should have earned a title, which essentially describes them as the name does. It is in a way, the title is the name for the monster.

So taming an unhatched egg is the best way to make sure that the monster truly belongs to you.

Is it a psychic fox?

Hmm, looking closely it looks a bit like a fox but it didn't appear to be one when I first saw it.

Probably it was living without any protection and its features are covered by nature. I should bath it as soon as I find a river or a lake that is safe enough to stand near it.

I can see that my pet has skills. So that means it should be able to fight others using them but from what I see the skills it possesses are not fighter skills. One is a support type and the other is a control type skill.

The first one is Telepathic Communication. From the name, I can say that it is used to speak with others through the mind. It can be used for good coordination between team members and to pass secrets without others knowing.

The second one is Confusion. It can probably stop others from casting skills and stop them from doing anything.

These are good skills but are never valuable as a single person, only when in a group.

With these surviving is already a big feat, forget about fighting other monsters.

No wonder it didn't fight against taming like the Thunder Wolf did. I thought it might be because it is a cub but I bet that this one's INT is very high compared to that wolf.

It would not be easy to tame monsters with high INT. They would have their own thoughts and prefer freedom when compared to other low-level monsters.

I believe this one accepted the taming because it should be suffering here. It should have known that it couldn't survive here and when I opened a door for its survival it immediately took it, no matter how slim the chances of survival might be.

Seeing Inari's actions, it should have come to an conclusion that I am not a threat but someone who can take good care of it and so it started to act cute.

I am not a beast tamer or a summoner but I am sure that these captured monsters wouldn't get friendly with the capturers this quickly.

As soon as I named it, I could see its panel, though it was not a full panel, from what I could see, I got an idea about it. This is like giving itself to me. Once I see the panel, I can take steps so that it can be mine forever. So monsters that are tamed are said to be against naming.

They won't accept names, much less ask on their own.

This means that Asya accepted me fully as her master and as long as I don't treat her badly, it would not go against me.

This can be said to be the greatest assurance a beastmaster can have against a tamed monster.

I am not a beastmaster who would have precautions against such things. So I needed this assurance.

"Inari, Asya, let's continue the hunt".
