The hound jumped on Klein with expedition. The only thing that Klein was able to do was blocking the bite with his arm.
'Dammit... This hurts'
The dog was starting to bite deeper and deeper into Klein's flesh.
Klein started punching the hound's head. The tyke didn't even flinch.Finally boytried to pick the hound's eyes.
The dog's grip loosened and Klein was able to escape from dog's squeeze.
The dog growled shaking his head.
On Klein's face apperead creepy smile.
"You son of a bitch... Do you not want more?"
The hound didn't need this to be repeated to him. He jumped on him with furious rage.
Klein blocked it with his other arm, but this time he immediately executed a counterattack.
He bitted into the dog's neck like a wild animal.Klein bitted of a bulk of flesh from dog's throat
After a few seconds the dog stopped moving.
Klein spatted out dog's meat from his mouth
"Next time I need to add some garlick.Hmph... This trial wasn't as hard as I expected."
Then a three more hounds appeared before him.
'Here we go again'
Three dogs launched their attacks. Klein concentrated on one of them and tackled it to the floor.
On the floor Klein started bitting of dog's throat.
Of course other dogs didn't just watched it in silence.
One bitted deep into his leg and other one decided to feast on boy's neck.
After finishing of the first dog Klein turned around and started to fight wit the second one.
He clenched his fist and putted it deep into the abomination's throat.
The dog couldn't breathe.
He bitted of one of Klein's arm but couldn't swallow it and ended up trying to vomit it.
Unfortunately or fortunately for Klein he couldn't do it.
Only one dog was left. Boy clapped dog's head from both sides at the same time making the houd feel deezy.
Klein used this situation and strangled the last hound.
Klein stood up from the floor and looked around.
Smile on his face widened.
'Okay now It felt like a real trial'
Boy wanted to talk with the Spirit but then he saw...
Four more hounds spawned
'How am i supposed to fight them? I am already one leg on the other side...'
Klein didn't have much time on complaining because the dogs were already preparing to attack
'I guess I must just show them who I truly am'
A while later...
Klein was laying in a plash of blood with his stomach and head opened
Klein used his stomach acid to blind one of the dogs that was bitting deeply into his guts.
His head was opened from the impact after one of the dogs tackled him on the floor.
Around him corpses of the three dogs were slowly evaporating.
The fourth hound was launching an attack
Spirit was watching it with amusement.
'Firstly I wanted him to fight with only three dogs but after I saw him fight in this beastly way I couldn't hold myself. The way that he wasn't willing to give up was truly inspiring.The way he was fighting... He was like a machine whos only mission is to kill the opponent and of course that psychopatic grin of his which stayed on his face to this moment.
I can feel it. The True Soul of this young man will be truly powerfull one.'
Meanwhile...
Klein was laying on the floor ready to give death a welcoming hug.
'Dammit... Eight dogs in total. How was I supposed to win this.'
'I suppose this is the end... Well I don't have any regrets. Uncle Phil should have more money for himself without me to feed... Yeah the world without me will be a better place...
But this is exactly the reason why I can't leave it!!!'
He was ready to launch at the hound with every strenght he had left but in that moment...
The dog started to disappear
it started becoming transparent and the completely disappeared from view.
Then he heard the voice
[Congratulations.You have passed your trial, competitor.]
Klein's body started to heal itself
After a while all his wounds
disapperead
His arm reattached in the right place and pain started to fade away
He looked at the Spirit with wide eyes
A calm voice ringed in his head
[You have been granted a True Soul]
[True Soul's name:"Stronger than ever"]
"Congratulations Klein if I had a mother I would arrnge a dinner with her for you"
Klein's face turned red
"So you will be reminding me about that joke every moment you can, huh. I thought The Spirits were more serious"
"Even we the mighty Spirits have to laugh sometimes"
Angered expression apearred on klein's face
"Putting that aside. What the hell was that!? I know that trials are hard and all but this was just exorbitency! If everyone had this hard trial our population would be cutted in half!"
Spirit looked on him shame faced
"Well I maybe I over did it a little. but when I have as unique competitor as you I just can't hold myself"
"But in return I will grant one request of yours. Of course not some phissical object and also I can't remove that smilng condition of yours. It's rooted to deep into your soul for me to do it. I can do something about your appearnce though. Maybe make you look a little bit more handsome or change you hair color"
" I must say that't some shity reward for the horror I've just survived but okay."
Klein thought for a while and the sayed
"I know it's a strange request but could youbrig back the scars that you just healed.
I would want to have them as a keepsake after my trial and i always thought that men with scars looked sick.
Give me back every scar except on on my head"
Spirit answered
"It is a strange request but who am i to judge"
In that moment scars appeared on Klein's body.
One on the stomach one in the place when his arm was severed and countless smaller ones
"I would love to talk a little longer with you but I have other contestants to test"
Klein started feeling like he was fading away and couple of seconds later he was standing on a platform completely naked.
