Furball looked like a furry and amiable pet that had visible soft and silky golden brown furcoat. The best way to describe furball’s look was the word ‘ Fluffy’ as everytime it moved a muscle , it’s furcoat would sway in the air.
In its small pocket form , which it liked to mentain around Rudra it was no bigger than 45 centimetres or about half a meter in body length, with additional 25 centimetres of eight wiggly tails that were constantly moving in random directions.
For someone who did not understand beasts and their origins and powers at all , furball would look like a pocket dog type of pet that rich women liked to keep around due to their insane cuteness, it’s looks posing no physical threat whatsoever to an onlooker.
However those who understood the origin of beasts and their powers would be terrified of the right tails probing out of the beast.
Just like no-one would underestimate a baby dragon , anyone with half a brain would never underestimate a nine-tailed beast either who just like the dragons reached tier 4 power upon maturity.
A nine tailed beast reached the tier 4 power level when it sprouted the seventh tail and reached the peak of tier 4 when it had 8 tails. A full nine tailed beast meant that it was at the early tier 5 realm of power!
The tier 5 nine tailed beast that Rudra had met in the valley of illusions many years ago was at this power stage and at that point the elder had adviced Rudra that his eyes of truth and pet were two of his greatest assets and that he should cherish them , however she worried that although Rudra was more powerful than furball back then , beasts matured much faster than humans and there was no way that Rudra would be able to keep that strength gap when furball matured.
Many years later , her words indeed proved to be true as Rudra ‘s eyes were indeed his great asset which allowed him to see a world that no mortal could ever see , help him strategize war and collect Intelligence unlike any scout , and prevent his information to be read by any enemy irrespective of their power level .
Not even Lucifer could read his information and it was all because of his eyes.
The elder nine tails had also been correct in her prediction that had it been any other player in the world except for Rudra , he/she would have fallen behind the maturing furball.
Since the second highest levelled player was still in the middle sector of tier 4 , the peak tier 4 eight tailed furball had indeed surpassed the entire playerbase second only to Rudra in terms of sheer power scale.
Furball was a divine beast who had the potential to not only reach tier 5 but given enough time , even tier 6.
It was not just a regular nine tailed beast race member , but a higher existance even amongst that species and the power she commanded at tier 4 peak was no joking matter.
Furball was Rudra’s biggest investment in Omega, her from her grooming to feeding her expensive elixirs to sharing his exp with her , Rudra was the only player to give a significant portion of his level up exp to his pet and still be as powerful as he was as the majority of the playerbase did not feel like the nurturing was worth it and hence did not train combat pets.
Just the food Rudra fed furball alone costed 4-5 billion dollars a month and it was only someone like Rudra who was a guildmaster and a freak of nature who could afford raising a divine beast like he did.
The result was obvious, a spoiled and insanely cute beast that was packed with power stared down an legion of demons alone without fear.

( The tier 4 demon beast tamers POV)
The beast tamer stared into furball’s eyes with his amber red eyes as it tried to make the beast his subservient.
The beast tamer was capable of enslaving even a tier 4 hellhound , and had the confidence of suppressing a small fox for sure , but was dumbfounded when his repeated attempts to make contact failed.
Furball did not even pay him any attention as she kept licking her paws and setting her hair , as if unaffected by his beckoning.
The beast tamer increased the intensity of his beckoning and furball seemed annoyed , it made eye-contact with the beast tamer and the beast tamer nearly fainted out with what he saw.
Far from enslaving the fox , the beast tamer wanted to shi* his own pants as when he made eye-contact with the small fox , he was sucked into another world where one giant beast looked down on his puny body and killed him with one paw slash.
When he died the illusion broke , however back in reality when he put his palm on his neck to make sure his head was still attacked to his body , he found his hand to be moist as he was bleeding profousely.
The beast tamer could not beleive his eyes , there were claw marks on his neck , that were oozing blood and narrowly missing his vital veins.
Had the depth of the claw be even 1 centimetre deeper , he had no doubt that he would be a dead man at this moment.
The illusion was real and the power of the beast was something even he could not fathom.
Utterly Scared , he said ” That beast …. Don’t underestimate it “.
His tier 4 companion however did not heed his advice as he charged towards Rudra , however seeing the malicious intent of the beserker towards her master , furball leaped off Rudra’s palm and onto the ground as it blasted the charging enemy with a giant fireblast.
The blast that the small beast unleashed was big enough to burn the entire townhall building thrice , as the charging beserker was dumbfounded by the sudden attack and was forced to cross both his axes in a defensive pose to block.
The blast pushed the beserker back and he tried his best to hold his ground , however although he had his feet firmly planted to the ground he was still blasted back several meters before his weapon broke down and he faced the brunt of the attack.
Without the tier 4 beserker blocking the blast , nearly 20,000 soldiers alongside half the townhall was blasted to ashes.
The remaining demons were terrified as they finally realised the reality of the situation , Rudra apart , they were not even strong enough to face his beast.
