Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

A few minutes ago, Nox arrived inside the boss room where the dimensional boss was located, and the supposed boss monster had already stirred awake.

To be on the safe side, Nox had called out every single one of his pets from the taming space—Thirteen, Fluffington, Astralux, Solora, Supreme Spirit Wolf, Granite Colossus, Blazy, and Mushroom Man, whose eyes were filled with eagerness to join the battle.

It was a creature that stood over two meters tall, and its appearance—humanoid—was very similar to Mushroom Man, only that it radiated more power and a crushing presence seemed to surround it.

Nox swallowed hard, his saliva running noisily down his throat. His eyes gleamed with excitement.

Yes, he was not scared.

He was excited to face this monster.

At that moment, the eyes of the creature, still hidden in the dark, blinked—staring at Nox for a full minute without making a move, which left the young boy perplexed.

His thoughts swirled like a storm. Why is the boss monster just looking at me? Shouldn't it attack by now?

The more time passed, the more confused Nox grew. Beside him, even Mushroom Man tilted its head to the side, its green hollow eyes—flickering like a crackling flame in the dark—gleaming with confusion.

Mushroom Man knew its kind very well. They were intrusive and always took the initiative to attack. They had all inherited this trait from their boss.

[Could it be he's scared of Master?] Solora, the baby python, hissed.

[It's not fear. I don't sense anything like that!] Fluffington purred, its purple eyes fixed on the creature still subtly cloaked in darkness.

[Panda fight!] Thirteen exclaimed, beating its chest like a gorilla. When was the last time it fought? Thirteen couldn't even remember.

It was also angry!

Why was the big bad monster simply staring at them instead of attacking? Was it an ally?

"Blazy, do you sense anything?" Nox asked. Blazy, its orange flames crackling in the darkness, flew further and closer to the boss monster—yet there was still no movement. The mushroom creature simply stared at it.

[None,] Blazy returned and reported, hovering just above Nox's head.

In the darkness, the collective eyes of all the pets gleamed, creating a very beautiful yet eerie scene filled with even more confusion.

"Could it be that it's waiting for us to attack?" Nox knitted his eyebrows together.

This was the only logical thought he could come to.

However, just as Nox was about to tell his pets to attack, he sensed something—something he had overlooked all this while.

There was no animosity from the beast.

"Maybe I can resolve this situation without the need for a fight," he mumbled to himself, and Nox could have sworn he heard several sighs of disappointment from behind him.

"Hey." Nox raised his hands, his dagger still in them, but they vanished from his grasp mid-air in a burst of dark light. "Let's talk."

A moment of silence followed.

Only the soft crackling of Blazy's flames echoed.

The silence was almost oppressive before Nox heard an ancient yet powerful voice that sent goosebumps prickling through his skin as if he had been stung by several needles at once.

"Human, can you make me stronger?" A deep voice rumbled through the boss chambers, and Nox felt the place tremble.

All this while, Nox had been focused on the boss monster and hadn't minded his surroundings. Now, because of the trembling, his attention was briefly pulled away from the boss monster to his surroundings.

Nox looked around, finally paying attention to his environment. The boss chamber was big, its walls glowing faintly with a weird green light from the fungi growing all over. The ground was soft with moss, and for some reason, the place didn't feel dangerous. There was no killing intent, no pressure. Just… something strange in the air, like the room itself was waiting for something to happen.

At that moment, the boss monster stepped forward, and Nox finally had a clearer view of its appearance.

The boss monster shifted in the darkness. It looked like Mushroom Man but was much bigger and stronger. Its body was covered in tough, armor-like fungus, and its sharp claws glinted under the dim light. The two glowing green eyes on its face weren't just mindless—they looked smart, aware.

It was at this moment that Nox dropped any thoughts of engaging it in a fight and decided to hear it out instead.

He crossed his arms. "You want me to make you stronger?"

The boss monster let out a low chuckle, its voice deep and rough. "Yes. I've been stuck here for too long. I want to evolve, but to get the necessary requirements, I'll need to step out of this dimension."

The boss monster sighed. "And you and I both know that's impossible."

It then looked at Nox with new fervor. "But you… You can change that. I witnessed what you did to my brethren. I know your unique relationship with beasts."

It swept its gaze across the pets before returning to Nox.

Nox frowned. "How do you know about that?"

[It's a secret, and I can sense your connection with all your pets,] the boss monster said matter-of-factly, as if it were the most natural thing to say.

"Many beasts don't know this, but the best way to become stronger is to form a genuine bond with a beast tamer."

"You know about beast tamers?" Nox was slightly shocked.

"Hehehe, I do. In fact, most beasts do, unlike the humans." The boss chuckled.

"In the past, many beasts thrived and grew very powerful because of their bond with their master. All they had to do was act as the sword and shield for their master, and in return, they received resources, training, and new skills."

Nox remained silent, analyzing the creature before him. The boss monster was no ordinary beast; it possessed intelligence far beyond what he expected. It had seen through him, understood his power, and now sought something that no other had dared to ask—a true partnership.

The creature shifted, its form crackling with suppressed energy. "Most beasts believe in brute force, in devouring cores and absorbing essence. But there is another way, a forgotten path… One that requires trust." It scoffed. "Of course, that is why it is ignored. Trust is a weakness in this world, isn't it?"

Nox's expression remained unreadable. "And what exactly are you offering?"

The monster's glowing eyes burned brighter. "I will serve you."

"You trust me?"

"Hehehe, I don't sense any ill intent directed at you from the others. In return for my help, all I want is for you to help me evolve."

Usually, dimensional bosses could never leave the rift unless there was a portal break. However, now that it was part of Nox's pets, he could always call it out through his taming space.

After taming the beast and going through its skills and evolution, Nox then shifted his gaze to the room. His eyes fixed on a door.

"That… that's where the treasures are kept, right?"

"Mmm." The boss monster nodded.

"Can I take them?" Nox shamelessly asked as if it were the most normal thing to do.
