Volume 8 Chapter 1 (1/2)

In order to create the new monster, I held three medals in my hand and began the [Synthesis].

Around me were Kuina, Rorono, Aura, and Ruhe who were eagerly waiting for the birth of the new S rank monster.

The medals I held were [Beast], [Time], and [Creation]. Upon the start of the process, the medals became particles of light which intertwined together within my closed fist.

During that, countless possibilities of what the monster might become flowed to my mind. After some searching, I found and selected the possibility that I wanted. And that was a hound that persistently hunted its prey across time and space.

The versatility of the [Beast] medal was truly extraordinary.

All sorts of monsters could be created with it. Unfortunately, due to the default nature of Synthesis which was being random, that versatility also meant a lower chance for the desired monster to be the result. But then again, that wasn't an issue at all with the [Creation] medal since the user could simply choose whichever outcome.

Speaking of the [Creation] medal, the one I made it transform into was the [Subspace] medal. As its name might imply, it was a medal that specialized on the other dimension. Needless to say, its compatibility with the [Time] medal was spectacular.

”You're the one I choose! Now, come!”

After saying so, the intertwining of the particles of light grew more intense. Choosing not to endure the heat caused by that anymore, I opened my closed fist.

The particles of light then, while shining brighter and brighter by the moment, gathered in one place and formed a figure.

At that moment, I was given a choice and I chose for the new monster to be able to level up as opposed to having a static level. Although the monster would start at level 1, being able to level up allowed it to eventually achieve a higher level than the other choice.

The choice made, features of the monsters began to show as the intensity of the light decreased.

Before long, I felt the overwhelming presence peculiar to S rank monsters.

It's born. Without a doubt, it's the monster I'm wishing for.

I subconsciously smiled as I thought so.

”Woah! It's a doggy!”

”It seems strong. And quite fiendish.”

”It's master, so I thought for sure it'd be a new little sister.”

”Ooh, it feels quite strong. It's reassuring to know that I will now be fighting with this child.”

Each of my monsters expressed their impressions of the newly born one.

The new monster was a gigantic dog. It was so big, a fully-grown human male might seem like a child next to it. Its coat was beautiful and jet-black. It also had a thick, zigzaggy, pointy tongue that was stretched outward.

It was Tindalos, the hound that persistently hunted its prey across time and space.

”Guruuuuuu”

Tindalos growled so. It seemed quite the energetic child.

”Nice to meet you. I am to be your master, [Creation] Demon Lord Procell. I'll be relying on you from now on.”

I said so and then extended my hand. In response, Tindalos extended its paw too and shook mine. It's quite intelligent.

”Oto-san, why didn't you use [Person] on this child?”

”Well, for you girls to serve as leaders of Avalon, I needed you to be intelligent and be able to communicate, hence why I used [Person] when I made you. On the other hand, all I seek from this child is for it to be powerful in a fight.”

In addition, since neither [Time] nor [Beast] by themselves could make a monster capable of crossing to the other dimension, that duty fell to my [Creation] medal. In other words, there just wasn't enough leeway for a [Person] or similar medal.

”By the way, master, this child is a girl. And is actually just a pup.”

”…but it's already this big”

I was surprised by Rorono's comments.

Tindalos was already much bigger than I was, yet she was saying it could still grow.

”I was surprised a doggy was born, but it seems like a good kid. I don't know how, but I just know that it is.”

”Leave this girl to me, patron. We will be fighting together often from now on, after all.”

Aura and Ruhe both seemed pleased with Tindalos. It would be great if they grew attached to it.

After that, I thought I, as its Demon Lord, needed to confirm its capabilities. When I used my Demon Lord Powers to took a look at its stats, I was in disbelief at how great it was.
