Chapter 1831 Kimat’s Past
Chapter 1831 Kimat’s Past
?Kimat opened his eyes and saw a very familiar place which is the place where a lot of his kind are present. He was in a cage and was picked by an adventurer just like his master now, but this master was not friendly. The first master that picked him only showed some form of compassion when Kimat manages to defeat monsters.
He also does not have any bonding time despite Kimat circling around his feet and cuddling it. All Kimat received was a kick on the body, but he tolerated it as his master might warm up to him eventually. Kimat was a normal monster cat back then and was mostly using physical attacks to deal damage.
When Kimat became somewhat of an adolescent monster cat, he thought that his first master would be happy that he was growing well but he was not. The first master that he had was always grumpy and mad that the other soulbounds were not performing well. Kimat performed rather well but his good performance was not enough to please the first master.
Kimat would try to win his first master’s affection, but he ultimately failed which is why he stopped trying after a while. When Kimat no longer looked at his first master with rose tinted lens, the bad behavior that his first master was showing came to light on his very eyes. The other soulbounds would be whipped when they fail while he just gets fed even if he does exemplary work. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚
In the end, Kimat decided that he no longer wants to serve this master. He broke the contract forcefully which resulted in him and his master receiving backlash. Only a soulbound that has the same power as its master can destroy the contract forcefully which separates the connected soul of the two. Kimat lost half of his accumulated power (which is his levels) and his master was severely weakened for three months by losing a few levels.
Kimat did not care what happened to him, but he immediately ran towards the forest to disappear. His former master tried to hunt him down and kill him as he is now regarded as a monster. Fortunately for Kimat, the other soulbounds also made noise and raised their resentments which weakened his former master even more.
Some of the soulbounds were able to break the contract and his former master was left with just the weak soulbounds under his care. As soon as Kimat knew that he is no longer being pursued, he became a renegade and wandered around. This is the case for all soulbounds that get released or escape the contract.
Since Kimat lost his original name, he was no longer a named monster as soulbounds are considered as named monsters after all. Kimat did not fret his original name as he forgot it as soon as he destroyed the contract. Rejecting the name and erasing it from your very soul is the way to escape from a summoner contract after all.
This was taught to them by the shopkeeper that kept them in his pet shop. He did not know why the shopkeeper taught them this, but this was engraved into their minds. It seems that the shopkeeper has some sort of sympathy for them despite giving them away to adventurers.
Kimat just became a normal monster cat with no name and little strength. Fortunately for Kimat, he was small and agile which made escaping much easier. He managed to survive and find a piece of thunder crystal. He absorbed this thunder crystal which made him transform his very essence to that of an elemental cat with lightning attribute.
With his newfound power, he was able to easily come and go. He was also able to hunt down prey with his new elemental powers. He was also glad that he changed because he was able to truly forget what he was when he started. He thought that he would become a mighty monster on his own, but he was caught by a terrifying entity in the end.
He thought that he would become the food of this terrifying entity, but it actually sent him to the terrifying entity’s master. The master of the one that caught him was not like his former master that was human. The terrifying entity’s master was a demon which is a being that a lot of monsters stay away from.
Kimat thought that he would be sacrificed as he was placed inside of a magic circle. It was then that Kimat felt the familiar magic circle working that he learned that this was a sealing magic circle. The demon was attempting to have him become his soulbound.
At first, Kimat did not immediately agree as he has disliked becoming a soulbound. His memories of being a soulbound was not happy and he did not feel like a partner but a servant. Kimat intended to reject fully but he saw the terrifying entity and what power it has.
The terrifying entity, Sirius, was powerful beyond belief and he could catch Kimat easily. Kimat also felt that Sirius was not like him that looked down in shame but proudly standing tall. This was the confidence of a powerful beast that their master cherishes. Kimat suddenly saw himself as that powerful monster and his dream to have a bond so powerful.

The light that erupted from the last pillar of lightning finally died down and Adrian could now see Kimat clearly. He saw Kimat lying down on the magic circle and immediately rushed to his side. He felt if Kimat was breathing, and he was which made Adrian incredibly grateful. Adrian felt that he was partially disconnected from Kimat for a moment which is why he needed to see what happened to him.
Kimat might have fainted, but he was able to survive the last lightning blast. The most important thing is that Kimat has successfully gotten the divine beast body that he needed to continue his evolution. Adrian cannot return him back to the soul chamber right now as his soul was also impacted by the lightning strikes earlier.
“Kimat! Are you fine?” Adrian asked as he hugged and checked if Kimat is starting to wake up.
Kimat could be seen sleeping so deeply that even Adrian’s pinching of his ears does not elicit a reaction. Kimat hates getting his ears pinched which means that this sleep is not normal. Adrian suddenly feared that Kimat might not wake up as this was a very low chance of happening which the Vermillion Bird has warned him about.
“Call for him with all your emotions.” The voice of the Vermillion Bird stated which resounded inside of Adrian’s mind.
Adrian started to call Kimat with different types of emotions. He called him with great love and affection then great sadness and fear. He even became angry just so that he has a full spectrum of emotions to cover all of the bases. Despite Adrian’s calls, Kimat did not wake up easily as if he was drifting in the land of dreams forever. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Deep Lethargy is the status of a monster that is trapped in a dream world that it has created because of sudden trauma. Adrian does not want to believe that Kimat is experiencing something like this as this would render him incapable of living. Monsters that have this status die without even knowing that they have died.
“Kimat! If you do not wake up, then I will make Sirius discipline you thoroughly!” Adrian shouted in fear and frustration.
As if responding to the name of his would be being to discipline him, Kimat’s ears suddenly twitched as if he feared something. Adrian was able to catch this and called Sirius to come over. He then proceeded to tell Sirius that he is giving him permission to punish Kimat if he was being a bad cat.
Kimat started to toss and tumble as if he was having a nightmare. This reaction made Adrian smile as he now found a way to wake Kimat up. Adrian then told his other soulbounds to come near Kimat and whisper in his ear. He told them to say the things that they will do to Kimat if he does not wake up.
As if the other soulbounds enjoyed this, they suddenly started to form a line with the youngest one first. Wisteria whispered something but all she got was a snort. Dodu did not even whisper anything and just slapped Kimat. Dodu must have heard wrong which is why it went for the slap. Charon was next and whispered something in an eerie tone which made Kimat’s fur tremble.
Saena followed and the reaction she got was a sudden jolt from Kimat. Kanlaon tried but it seems that he was too kind in nature as he did not get any reaction. It was Sirius that whispered something that made Kimat suddenly jump up and roar out loud.
“Kimat! You are awake! Thank goodness.” Adrian shouted as he hugged him.
