The Strongest Businessman-96 Chapter 96: Voice Inside My Mind
"Yeah, right!" An unfamiliar voice chuckled without giving notice. It oddly sounded like a voice of an infant trying to sound like an old man.
"Who's there?" Dylan immediately became vigilant when he heard this voice and looked around him. It was definitely not Barry because it seemed like the voice of a child.
"What's the matter, brother?" Barry asked confusedly. He did not know why Dylan would suddenly duck and scan the cave.
"You did not hear it?" Dylan doubtedly ask.
"Hear what?" Barry was even more confused. Dylan was acting weird right now, he was suddenly hearing things. This made Barry worry needlessly if something wrong happened to him: 'Maybe the evolution did something to his head...'
But, he could not find anyone other than Barry inside the cave. He wanted to think that it was just his imagination but he heard it so vividly and he was sure that there was someone else.
"Idiot, hahaha. I'm on your head, dumbass!" The voice laughingly mocked him.
"My head? Are you joking with me? I'm not a three year old that I would fall for that type of trick. Who are you?" Dylan asked but he did not get mad with the insults of the voice. He was rather curious where did the voice come from.
"Brother, are you okay?" Barry was worrying even more when Dylan started to talk to himself. He was acting very peculiar.
Though he had not known Dylan for a long time, he saw Dylan as a clever and charismatic person. Because of his experience of travelling to different locations this past several hundred years, it could be said that he was already a good judge of what personality a person has just by observing their actions.
But, he was unable to do the same to Dylan because he was acting stranger than what he perceived him to be.
"You don't believe me?! This king has never lied before!" The voice sounded again and this time, it angrily ranted like a child.
"I am. It's just that there's a person hiding in the shadows who is talking to me telepathically claiming to be in my mind." Dylan clarified when he saw how confused his brother was. Although it might have sounded absurd, but it was the truth.
"A person hiding in the shadows? Talking telepathically? Claiming to be in your mind?!" With Barry's age, he had seen and heard many things. If he did not know Dylan, he might have taken him to be someone with a few loose screws in the head.
Dylan shook his head helplessly seeing Barry's unbelieving reaction because he himself knew that it was a hard to believe as well.
"You dare ignore this king!" It was easily angered by this type of inattentive treatment Dylan was doing!
"A king? I will believe you if you show yourself to me, 'your highness' " Dylan sarcastically taunted. Judging by the owner of the voice's temperament, he seemed like a prideful young kid. So, Dylan used this blatant way of mocking him to get him to reveal himself.
"You dare mock this king?! Behold, my almighty self!" The voice overbearingly said. It could no longer endure this type of mockery and wanted to show them who's boss.
Suddenly, a ball of light shot out of Dylan's forehead which shocked Dylan greatly. It seemed like the voice was not lying at all.
"I...I..." It was not only him Barry was also beyond speechless and his jaw almost reached the ground. Dylan was really not lying at all. There was really a voice in his mind who was talking to him. What's more it was in the form of a ball of light! Barry really could not believe what he was seeing but reality was cruel as it was forcing him to do as such!
"Hmph, do you believe me now! Tremble in fear and kneel before me!" The ball of light shone brightly and gathered the spirit energy around. A small tornado formed around the ball of light and revealed the appearance of the figure.
Dylan and Barry was intently staring at the ball of light trying to depict the appearance of the owner of the squeaky voice. They even felt apprehension because the owner might be an overbearing expert which could kill them easily!
They were baffled at first when the light completely dissapated, they finally saw the appearance of the owner of the overbearing squeaky voice.
Their first reaction was to...
laugh:
"Pfft, HAHAHAHAHA!" The two brothers couldn't control themselves and laughed at the top of their lungs because the owner of the voice that they even felt apprehended to was an incomparably cute, black-furred puppy!
The black-furred puppy had big watery eyes that would make any one want to feed him. It's soft luscious fur that would tempt anyone to cuddle him.
Thinking about how such an overbearing attitude came from a cute little dog, they found it really hilarious especially when he said the words "tremble in fear and kneel before me" as though he was some intimidating monster.
"Why the hell are you two laughing? Ah, I get it. You both last your marbles at the sight of me so you are laughing at yourselves for provoking a supreme being like me! Hahaha, don't worry, I am quite benevolent, if you kneel and kowtow before me, I will spare your lives." The little puppy smugly declared.
"..." The two looked at the cute dog and paused laughing for a second but they immediately laughed afterwards like they just heard the funniest joke ever, "HAHAHAHA!"
"Are you two mocking me?!" The black puppy angrily said. One could see that the puppy was trying to make a ferocious face but it made it look even cuter.
"I'm sorry for laughing and being rude. It was just we did not anticipate you would look like this with the personality you have." Dylan finally calmed himself down he haven't had a good laugh for a while now.
"That's right. I thought you were some kind of mythical beast that can instantly obliterate us so when I realized you were just a cute little puppy with a big personality, I could not help but laugh." Barry was still teary-eyed and his stomach was still hurting from his laugh.
"I can grind you both to dust right now if I wanted to!" The canine angrily scowled.
" I believe you." However, he decided to take him seriously because he knew that spirit beasts that were capable of speech were fewer than few and only those mythical beasts with an extremely strong and ancient bloodline could be capable of doing so. This was especially so for the black puppy because it seemed to still be an infant.
Take Scarlet for example, her ancient bloodline was so pure and strong that she was able to assume her humanoid form despite being so young. Dylan decided to put this black puppy as a creature whose bloodline was just slightly weaker than Scarlet's.
"You do?!" The black puppy was immediately elated like how a child would be when someone takes his/her side.
"Yes, I believe that you possess an extreme strong bloodline that is why you are capable of understanding and using human speech." Dylan answered with an honest response.
"Hahaha, that's right. How about you? Do you believe me as well?" The puppy proudly asked.
"I do." Barry was calm now so he knew what Dylan was referring to as well. It was truly a surprise to encounter such a spirit beast with a monstrous bloodline.
"Hahaha, now kneel and ask for forgiveness!" The puppy imperuously commanded.
"I'm sorry, no can do. Even though, I acknowledge your bloodline that doesn't mean that I will submit to you." Dylan flatly said.
"What?! That's not fair! But you just admitted that I am strong!" The puppy grumpily complained with his juvenile logic.
"We did but it doesn't mean that we will do as you please." Barry commented as well.
"Then, I'll beat some sense into both of you and make you two my servants!" The little dog overbearingly spoke. He was releasing the strength of his tyrranical bloodline as his blood energy created something similar to an Avatar. From it, an aura of mass slaughter, blood lust and carnage was soon felt before two, no, six eyes was seen!
This scene made Dylan's and Barry's hearts quiver in fear. It was as though those eyes could destroy them with a wink! Cold sweat quickly started to build up on their faces and their entire bodies were frozen in place.
However, this feeling did not last long as it became increasingly unstable and swiftly faded with the puppy weakly falling down to the ground.
"Damn it!" It tried to stand up but it couldn't. It was far too weak, it's aura was unstable and his blood energy was a mess. It could not maintain his blood energy because it appeared as if it was already expended from an earlier usage.
'Terrifying' It was the only thought that was left in the minds of the two brothers. The terrifying they felt was still as clear as day to them. It was something that will be engraved to their memories forever. They seemed like ants in front of such an existence.
"Are you okay?" Dylan immediately snapped out of his daze and went to aid the little puppy.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired because I tried to get out of that mansion in your mind. I forcefully opened its gates and it made me used almost all of my strength trying to get out." The puppy weakly explained. He was gradually recovering by absorbing the natural energy around them.
"You what?!" Dylan was dumbfounded when he heard what the puppy just did. He forcefully opened the gates of the mansion?! Dylan could not even make it bulge even if he used his strongest attack on it right now but the dog could!
Though it was unbelievable, Dylan believed him without a shred of doubt because he was able to release that monster which seemed capable of destroying an entire continent!
The canine's bloodline power was beyond Dylan's current scope of power but being able to forcefully open the gates of the Cosmic God Mansion as an infant, it meant that the puppy's future was limitless!
"Just what are you..?" Dylan could not help but ask this question.
"How should I know? You tell me, I was just born today. All I remember was that I broke out of a rock-like shell after eating something good and when I got out, I was in that mansion. So why did you trap me in that mansion, huh?!" The little dog unhappily said.
"Y-you are from that rock?!" Dylan could not believe it. The mysterious rock from the sky that fell of his head and appeared inside the mansion, gave him a monstrously strong puppy?!
