Amasa, the world serpent, a title that had never once crossed his mind, nor the mind of any other, was now the title most befitting his current situation, he had turned into a world serpent, though in a lower stage, a world serpent was still one of the most sacred and powerful beasts known to the world taming bureau, or W.T.B in his past life, it, along with other beasts were considered sacred as they came from mythology. He was at first blown away, but quickly came to understand that in the world he lives in now, he could not possibly be happy about this, as the people there would rather kill him then try and tame him, this oversight from the beginning was a large issue, but thanks to his saviour, Kuro, she had condensed the beasts essence he was naturally letting out, effectively hiding his presence from the world, "Jesus, dude, to think your idiotic head could become something this majestic.", Amasa tried speaking, but let out an eerie snarl instead and hissed like a snake would, right after he dropped his head, saddened by the fact that he could not speak, and that he couldn't understand her either, Kuro, realising that as well, turned into her panther form, for a second, she looked like the black cat, Boba, but quickly became the panther.
She growled, but to Amasa, it sounded like words, for nearly three hours, all that the neighbours could hear was hissing, growling, snarling and huffing from the apartment room, this had raised suspicions but ultimately they just pinned the sounds to training from fear, which was another way of cultivation, but not practiced too much. The next day, neither of the two had reverted back. Amasa had curled up like a coil with his head resting on his body and Kuro had slept on top of him since he had taken up the whole floor, Amasa woke up first, shaking his head instead of stretching, he put this action on being a snake now, seeing that Kuro had fallen asleep on him, he slowly moved her off, doing so resulted in her rolling around him, during the night, the two had been training his movements as a snake, thanks to this, he was able to move decently. After getting his companion off of him, he went on to slither to the window, remembering a place called 'the epitome of beasts', he decided to head there today. To start his day, he struggled to brush his teeth and struggled even worse to clean his body, meanwhile, Kuro had been watching, amused by his struggle, he, seeing her with a smile, got angry and started yelling, "If you're not going to help then don't make fun of me! . . . How do you do this?", "I don't, Beasts don't brush their teeth or take baths like humans, if you want to wash up you gotta find a river and take a dip, and you have to use the bones of hunted prey to clean your mouth or find a pest poor enough to help you with that. Besides, aren't you going to change back now?", "hell no. I'm taking a day off, I have to learn more about this form if I am to conquer it.", "great."
She pounced onto the window sill and glared outside, scouting out the area, "If that's the case, we have to head south.", "South? The Epitome of Beasts is North.", "No. North is the Cultivation lands. South is the Beast's land." Amasa internally noted this, In his past life, the roles were opposite, north was the beasts territory and south was the cultivators territory, "Ah. My bad, I kinda forgot the directions.", "Like hell you did. They don't teach those stuff in your college you know, both the pill stuff and territory stuff. They only teach those in the military.", "Oh, I didn't know that, guess I just picked it up here and there, people love talking, you know.", "You are bad at lying. Admit it, you're from a different world, aren't you?", He was left panicked, while this wasn't a huge issue for people he considered comrades, it can still be a problem if these so called comrades take advantage of his lack of knowledge from the world, but, knowing that she might be using that as a ploy to avoid being found out that she too knows, he decided to be brave, "Oh, don't you already know, I figured you knew from the start since you kept fumbling your words about cat and panther. I mean, did you think I was so stupid as to not catch onto that?", "What are you talking about, I told you already, a panther is a type of cat.", "And what if I called you a name that always made you little tail go nuts?" She sensed a problem coming, knowing the name, she wanted to defuse the situation, but couldn't figure out how to, this left her flustered as the name was both embarrassing and calming to hear.
"B-", "L-let's just go to the beast lands, there's no need for all this!", "-O-", "If you ain't going then I'll just go on without you.", "-B-", "Look just shut up and get going!", "-A-", "Nothing happened.", "Boba." Her tail did in fact Go Nuts, in that moment, she jumped out of the window and ran south, He laughed as he chased her down, taking it as a victory and confirmation that Kuro and Boba were the same person, meaning that the panther and the cat knew about he and Asama's situation. The two traveled for hours before reaching the land of beasts, immediately after they entered the area, Amasa felt eyes on him once again, this time from the beasts and not assassins, he smirked, hoping that they would be more direct in their hatred, up ahead Kuro had stopped and looked around, then gestured for him to come with her, he did so without hesitation and found himself at the entrance of a den, Kuro laid inside the den with pride, "This is my home here. You can make your own somewhere close by so that I can protect your weak ass.", "Not really befitting of a man to be protected by a woman.", "And yet the situation calls for it.", "Unfortunately so." He looked around, thinking about the snakes typical homes, knowing that those were in places like preexisting burrows or gaps in trees, logs, rocks or mountains, he decided not to be a normal snake since he is not a normal snake after all. He was about 12 feet long and 4 feet wide, he needed a place that could fit him comfortably, that had extra space to keep food in and more space to leave his shedded skin, knowing that those can be used to make some very useful equipment. He came to the conclusion of just making this place, slithering to some trees close by, he whipped around, causing his tail to smash into the base of a tree, shattering its support which caused it to fall, he did this to many other trees and started to stack them up by pushing them and using his tail to grab and place them, a few hours later, he had built a pile of logs and had dug into the ground, making a large base that was covered by wood and supported by it as well, proud of what he had made he laid down, a slight bit tired, Kuro had entered the cave that he had made and just laid there like she owned it, seeing this, he rose up, annoyed, "Hey, what are you doing?", "I'm sleeping here.", "This isn't your home. It's mine.", She then pissed in the cave, "Mine now.", "Excuse me! I've already shitted in here! I used my own shit to make the floor smooth dumbass!", she jumped up and clung to the roof of her cave, "WHAT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT SOONER!", "Because you just barged in!" "Whatever." Her stomach growled, almost as fierce as her own growl, "Seems you're hungry. Boba." She snarled, yet her tail betrayed her emotions, "Yes. Guess it's time for a hunt."
The two left the cave, now seated outside, they looked around, Kuro sniffed the air and looked straight ahead, Amasa did the same, curious, he smelled a lot of different things, from himself and Kuro to leaf and vegetation far away, he marvelled at the strength of his nose now that he was a world serpent, then he smelt something he knew all too well, the perfect prey for both him and Kuro, a rodent, not just one, but a family of rodents, nearly thousands of them far off, "New phase of your training. Time to hunt."
