Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2587

2587 Extended Family (Part 1)

"That's why I pick you! I too love napping" Garrik grabbed the hind leg of the magical beast while channeling the fire element for strength and the earth element to increase his own weight.

The Byk missed his step and fell flat on his snout.

"Say what? No, you are making a mistake. I'm slow and lazy while Scourge's pups play hard and rough." He tried and failed to escape the child's grip, his claws only digging through the ground without advancing of a single millimeter.

"It doesn't matter. We can grow strong together" Garrik pulled the Byk closer and lifted him as he weighed no more than a huge stuffed bear instead of hundreds of kilograms.

"Why waste time with me? Pick a Ry or a Shyf. They are all the rage now."

"There's nothing wrong in being different." Garrik said while embracing the Byk. "You are unique like me, Fluffy"

"Fluffy?" The Byk said in horror while his peers laughed their asses off at his expense.

"Yes, because your fur is so soft and warm."

"That just means I'm alive! The steeds of Scourge's pups are soft and warm as well but their names don't sound like a fancy pillow. Please, if we really have to do this, at least let me live with a shred of honor. Give me a warrior's name." Fluffy struggled as hard as he could without biting or clawing, but nothing worked.

"What's wrong with Fluffy?" Lith's voice was friendly but his eyes fixed in the Byk's were not. "You just got bested by a five years old child. You are lucky he hasn't called you Wimpy."

"Yes, boss." Fluffy lowered his gaze in shame while the other three magical beasts rushed to their freedom before Garrik could change his mind.

"Don't worry, those idiots don't know what they are missing" Abominus patted the Byk's back with his paw. "You have just gotten yourself five free meals a day, a roof over your head, a fresh bed during summer, and a hot place during winter.

"Really?" Fluffy's stomach gurgled with joy.

Onyx took out a slab of well-seasoned prime meat from the dimensional ring on her tail offered it to him in reply.

"This is delicious, I mean, we are going to be best friends!" The Byk gobbled the food, thanking the gods for their blessing.

"I love you too Fluffy!" Garrik let his new friend go to let him eat comfortably and conjured plenty of fresh water for him to drink. "Mom, can I go play with them?"

"Can he?" Ryla looked at Lith and Morok. "Garrik is very strong and he has never interacted with other people. Also, I'm worried that he might leave the geyser without even noticing."

"Let me deal with it." Lith crouched down to look the young Fomor in the eyes. "You can go, but only if you promise me to not use any of your bloodline abilities. Regular people can't lift a Byk and even though the other kids all wear enchanted armor, if you hit them with all your strength, someone is going to get hurt."

He took a pause to let his words sink in until Garrik nodded for Lith to continue.

"So never take out your wings and never activate your eyes unless it's to protect yourself or the others, are we clear? Just to be safe, I've asked Orion to enchant your clothes so that the moment you exert a dangerous level of strength you should feel an itch."
