Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

Chapter 22: Here I Come, Humanity!



As soon as Tyr uttered that name, Rudra, the seal on both his and the tiger's soul finally cooled down. It was still red hot seconds ago, like heated iron. But now, it sizzled down to become a solid black symbol.

With that, he completed the taming process and passed out. He had used the rest of the strength in his body to name Rudra.

Hanzo rared his bow, his brows furrowed as he slowly inched closer to Rudra and Tyr.

Rudra was currently staring at Tyr, his eyebrows curled inwards as though worried.

As Hanzo got 10 feet away, the beast abruptly stood and jumped in front of Tyr, acting as a guard as he released a ferocious growl targeted towards the approaching human.

Hanzo stopped in his tracks.

"Looks like he did tame you after all..." Hanzo said out loud, Rudra staring at him with his ferocious gray eyes.

Hanzo lowered his bow, "I am Hanzo Elec. For now, I see your master as a friend. He's hurt... I know you're worried, so let me treat him."

Rudra hesitated for a moment but eventually moved to the side slowly. Despite being tamed, he was still a powerful, majestic creature of immense size and strength. His actions were scary, whether peaceful or violent.

Hanzo put his bow away, turning it into a ring, before kneeling down next to Tyr.

Taking off the Charwolf hide, he saw the deep marks on the boy's chest and stomach.

'It's far worse than I thought...' He looked at his thumb finger, which had one of his 5 rings. It was a ring with a green crystal engraved into it.

'Hmm... fine. The kid just barely got his first foot in the world. I won't let him go so fast.'

He took the ring off, and as he did, it transformed into a cloud of green Aura. The gas summoned various separate healing and medical artifacts such as bandages, stitches, tonics, scalpels, forceps, surgical scissors, and more that all began to revolve in the air in a circular motion in front of Hanzo's face.

Hanzo fixed his monocle, stretching his gloves before getting to work...

When Tyr awoke, he felt a cool breeze brush past his entire body--giving him a feeling of bliss for a moment.

It also passed through his balls.

'Damn...' He mused, 'I'm naked again.' This could only mean one thing, right?

Tyr bit the bottom of his lip, trying to hold in his emotions to not break down into tears.

'I must have used Disappear... just when I tamed my first beast too--'

He stopped his train of thought as whatever he was riding on experienced a light bump in the road--pushing his stomach up and giving him a short burst of stabbing pain.

"Ghh!" He exclaimed, raising his head and looking down. As he did this, he noticed that he was still in the same body.

He also noticed what he was riding on--white fur with black stripes.

His face lit up, his eyes staring up into the forest canopy above him: "I'm still here! Hahah---ack!" He exclaimed with excitement, but nearly broke some stitches at the end so he had to calm down.

Tyr was lying on Rudra, who was calmly jogging through the forest to not cause Tyr any pain--an order by Hanzo. Although he was lightly running, he was still traveling at a quick pace. Over 40 miles per hour.

Hanzo was in front, riding on a small vehicle that resembled a jetski, except it was riding in the air and not on water. It looked similar to his bow, made of white metal and light-blue stained glass.

On hearing Tyr's sudden words, he turned his head. "You're awake? Don't move right now. I didn't patch you up so you could go rip yourself open again so quick."

After a short pause, he said, "And... sorry for the naked situation. I don't carry extra clothing with me, nor did I have time to fasten a leaf skirt."

After saying this, Hanzo suddenly heard the word:

"Why."

He was slightly taken aback for a second, not expecting to be questioned on that.

"Well, let's just say that doing surgery on you took longer than expected. Your body's weird..." He paused.

Tyr squinted his eyes, 'Weird huh... I mean, it definitely isn't normal.' He looked at his ripped arms.

"Anyways, I was supposed to come back by nightfall but I totally forgot. At this rate..." Hanzo's face turned a bit grim, as though he was thinking of some devastating news.

"At this rate what? Why did you need to come back before nightfall?"

"Well... I made a bet that I could hunt the Polaris Tiger, or White Crimson in one day. Tracking it down and killing it: all a part of the deal. But with you randomly joining in, I forgot all about it." He looked up, checking the position of the sun.

"I lost..." Tears began streaming down his face.

"A bet to take down this beast by yourself huh? I barely managed to tame it... how strong are you that you were confident you could solo hunt it?" Tyr questioned.

'There's a part of him that seems powerful... but at the same time, his image looks weak.' Tyr thought to himself, genuinely curious. 'It's probably a strong world out there if a random person like him is so strong...

a place where people hunt beasts like Rudra as if it's nothing.' Many thoughts and imaginations began to sprout up in his head, his eyes glowing slightly, 'I would want to go there someday.'

Hanzo stopped crying as he heard this question, a small smirk forming on his face.

"Kid, they don't call me Drance's strongest Squad Captain for no reason." He said with a prideful tone.

"What? That sounds like a load of bull. You're like 5 feet tall... how could you be the strongest?" Tyr exclaimed, picking a booger.

Hanzo's face immediately contorted into anger: "What did you just say!? Take that back, you naked caveman freak!"

"Huh!?" Tyr retorted, "I'm not the one wearing dress clothing and a monocle in the middle of a forest beast hunt!"

Eventually, they arrived at Tyr's base on his directions.

"The health capsule I gave you this time is a B grade. It's far superior to the D grade one I gave you last time. It should have kicked in by now." Hanzo exclaimed as Tyr hopped off of Rudra's back.

Although there was a slight amount of pain, he was in much better shape than even just a couple hours ago.

Tyr put on a set of spare hide attire, at which moment Hanzo revved his jetski-like vehicle.

"Come on, don't slow me down," Hanzo said with a serious expression.

"Huh?" Tyr looked up at him, "What do you mean?"

Hanzo shook his head, "You want to come, right? Don't tell me you asked me all those questions just for fun... You want to explore the human world, do you not?"

Tyr paused, feeling a bud of excitement swell up within him as a slight smile formed on his face.

"Y-yeah! Let's go!" He got atop of Rudra again.

Hanzo grinned, spinning his vehicle around before zooming away into the forest.

Tyr looked down, patting the side of the tiger's neck: "Let's go, Rudra!" He said, already feeling as though he had a tight emotional bond with the beast.

'Yes, master!' A deep yet eager voice replied to Tyr from within his head, slightly scaring him. Rudra leaped forward, rapidly bouncing through the forest and quickly catching up to Hanzo.

"That's right, I forgot you could reply." Tyr chuckled, turning his head past his shoulder as he looked at his base again. He couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness whilst looking at his home for the past two months, but the overwhelming excitement of entering a human city again after so long far outdid that.

He had many hopes, aspirations, and desires for this place, and several times as many questions.

"Let's speed it up!" Hanzo revved his engine again, "We might still be able to make it if we rush!" He zoomed forward.

Tyr grinned, patting Rudra's neck as the beast accelerated forward as well--lunging through vines and around trees, overtaking Hanzo in an instant.

'Here I come, humanity!'
