The Sun Proposed to the Moon

Dog Fights

With a plan finally set, Choi Han moved Lock to the stretcher to take Lock to the underground training ground.

Cale had then asked his lover, Kim Rok Soo, to help carry Lock.

Unbelievable.

Despite Rok Soo's natural reluctance, he couldn't refuse Cale's request. He tried to push back, but Cale, with his tired and still puffy red eyes from crying, gave him a look so pitiful and pretty that Rok Soo's resolve melted instantly.

"You're really using that look on me?" Kim Rok Soo sighed, reluctantly complying as he and Choi Han carried Lock to the underground training area together.

Cale had only smiled. His neck was starting to hurt from carrying the dragon on his head all this time. The little dragon was a bit stubborn and did not want to move from its comfortable place on Cale's head.

Once they arrived at the underground training area and placed Lock in the center, Cale stepped back, stopping his healing ability. The moment the glow left Lock's body, the agonizing pain returned. He thrashed, his body tensing and growing as his first berserk transformation took hold.

"Be careful, watch each other's backs!" Kim Rok Soo yelled to the two, pulling Cale with him to safety as Lock began to growl much louder.

Rosalyn had a serious look on her face as she got a bit farther away from Lock.

"Growl!"

Lock was shaking like he was having a seizure. His arms, legs and entire body were shaking. However, neither Rosalyn nor Choi Han approached him. It was because Lock was growing claws. Very sharp claws that belonged to a wild animal.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

Lock's body floated up in the air. It stiffened up like an arrow before slowly starting to change. Kim Rok Soo verified that the large iron gate into the arena was closed tightly before slowly heading farther into the corner with the Cale and the little dragon, On and Hong, also following him.

'This is no joke.'

The tall and weak Lock slowly starts to change.

"Grooooowl, aaaaaaaah!"

Lock now grew out some sharp fangs before screaming in agony. He started to get up slowly and staggered a bit before starting to frown and opening his eyes. He then looked toward the ceiling and let out a howl.

"Ahwoooooooooooo!"

Lock's body became larger every time he let out a shout. Muscles that weren't there previously started to develop, and his eyes turned red. It was proof that he was losing his consciousness.

Without warning, the half-transformed Lock charged toward Cale. The massive berserk wolf barreled toward him, teeth bared and eyes wild, but Cale remained utterly calm. In that instant, a half-transparent barrier appeared in front of Cale. It was a shield. While On and Hong looked around in shock.

Choi Han, ever the protector, leaped in front of Cale with swift precision. His sword glinted under the dim lighting of the underground training ground, the blade drawn just in time to deflect Lock's wild, clawed swipe.

Cale quickly noticed the barrier around them and, despite his tired delirium, smiled softly. "Little one, you really are amazing," he said with a voice full of genuine admiration, though the little kid turned his nose up with a huff.

From above him, the invisible dragon preened at the compliment, his pride swelling. Though no one could see him, the dragon was practically glowing with satisfaction.
