Chimaera's Conquest: The Legend Of The Devourer
Chapter 109: Fenris (2)

Chapter 109: Fenris (2)

Envy. That was the emotion in the eyes of the tribesmen when they saw the Commander wolf wagging its tail.

While the tribes ’respected’ Milka due to Suhi’s influence, the riders under Ahuli’s command had no such obligation. In their eyes, Milka was a useless brat who only knew how to freeload on his father’s influence.

But that perception was shattered in moments when they saw him facing and taming the commander wolf all by himself. The riders, in a state of disbelief, couldn’t help but feel envious, and who could blame them?

Milka just swooped in and tamed the strongest wolf they had set their eyes on, while they had to give their best even to get an umber brown wolf to partner up with them.

But the most surprised among them was Skaha. Never in a million years had he thought Milka would be the one to partner up with not only a white dire wolf but an aberrant white dire wolf.

Skaha knew the boy had talent in him from how he went against Huruk, but the outcome before him was unlike what he had imagined.

’I was confident Ahuli would be the one to tame the beast...’ Skaha thought as a healer rushed past him to treat Ahuli’s wound. ’But fate had something else planned for us.’

Skaha wasn’t the only one who thought Ahuli would tame the beast. After all, it was only fitting that the strongest beast in the tribe belonged to the strongest man in the tribe. That had been the unspoken rule. But now that Milka had tamed the beast, things were about to be different.

’Milka’s influence would soar through the sky once the tribe learns about this. But it might hurt Ahuli’s reputation. I can’t allow that to happen, not after investing so much in him.’

Skaha turned to face his nephew, who was trembling in rage. The fact that Ahuli couldn’t subdue the wolf must have felt like a slap to his face, but having a deadbeat partner up with that same wolf was just plain humiliation in Skaha’s eyes, and he knew Ahuli would have felt the same.

But the reality was different. Instead of being angry, Ahuli was ecstatic with the strange development.

Taming and controlling a commander wolf was more tiring than controlling a man, but he knew someone like Milka would be easy to manipulate. All he had to do was to win him over, and it wouldn’t be hard.

’Suhi obeys me, so it’s only natural for his son to do the same,’ Ahuli thought, confident in himself. ’I just need to treat him better. Yes, that should do the trick and get him to become one of my ’fangs’.’

Tribesmen would kill each other to be in the Chieftain’s squad, the Fangs. If Ahuli threw in a couple more things, Milka would be more than pleased to join his team.

’He is young, so offering him some personal slaves should do the trick.’

Unlike the rest, who were busy plotting ways to take advantage of Adrian, Suhi was the only one genuinely happy about his son’s achievement and wanted to show his appreciation to him.

As soon as the commander wolf calmed down, Suhi rushed up and checked on his son. However, when he got close to Milka, the commander wolf let out a growl and bravely stood before Adrian, waiting for his command to attack.

The wolf’s possessiveness for Adrian had already kicked in. There was no denying that the commander wolf now belonged to Adrian and him only. Everyone else would be treated as a stranger and dealt with as such.

The wolf’s reaction presented Adrian with a new challenge. Since he couldn’t speak, it made it difficult for him to control the beast. How could he command the wolf if he couldn’t talk?

’I’d need to train her to understand hand signals first and foremost,’ Adrian thought, gently caressing the beast’s head, and she immediately calmed down.

The wolf was still aware of the surroundings but allowed Suhi to approach her master. Suhi rushed to hug his son, tears running down his face.

"Your mother would’ve been so proud of you, my son!" he exclaimed, cupping Adrian’s cheeks with his hands.

At that moment, Adrian caught a glimpse of his own father’s face in Suhi’s expression. The image disappeared as quickly as it appeared, shaking him up. Adrian’s dad was the only one who had ever shown him love.

Losing him had hurt Adrian deeply. Also, seeing how Suhi gazed at his son made Adrian understand the depth of Suhi’s love for Milka. Unfortunately, the son Suhi thought he had, was long gone and had been replaced by an imposter.

’...no point dwelling on such things,’ Adrian thought before gently pushing Suhi away.

Just then, a system prompt appeared before his eyes, stealing Adrian’s focus away from everything else.

[Familiar function has been unlocked!]

[The User can use this interface to access information about their familiar(s).]

Adrian opened the tab, and it showed him a small avatar of the Commander Wolf along with its stats and other information.

[Please bestow a name upon your familiar.]

’A name...’ Adrian thought, looking over at the wolf. ’How about... Fenris?’

[Proceed with name: ’Fenris’?]

’Yes.’

[Confirmed.]

Just like that, the prompts disappeared, but then something strange happened.

[The entity, The Great Devourer, feels honoured that the User named their familiar as them and sponsors 10 Familiar Stat points.]

Adrian raised an eyebrow. He didn’t understand why an entity thought he had named Fenris after them when he had named the creature after himself.

’I just changed a letter of my last name and turned Fenrir into Fenris...’ Adrian thought. ’Well, I won’t complain about the stat points. I suppose we’re both satisfied with the result, the great devourer.’
