Chapter 141: Getting a Pet?

Synthia looked at the giant wolf, thoughtful for a moment before she spoke:

"Sure."

"Alright." Drayken nodded and slowly walked toward the wolves.

How do you tame a beast?

There might be many ways to do it but for a wild creature like this, one that could kill a man in the blink of an eye, there was only one method.

The simplest.

And the most effective.

The most brutal way.

Drayken approached the nearest wolf with steady steps.

One of them immediately noticed him and let out a howl, tilting its head toward the sky.

Drayken hadn’t bothered to hide his presence so it was easy to spot him.

Immediately, all the wolves turned their heads toward the figure cloaked completely from head to toe.

The giant, red-furred wolf’s eyes flickered with contemplation for a moment before it sent one of its underlings forward, to test the creature standing before it.

"Oh? It has some intelligence, at least. That’ll make it easier to tame." Drayken gave a self-approving nod.

As the wolf rapidly closed the distance, jaws wide for a bite that could have taken off his entire head—

Drayken casually flicked his hand.

Bang!

The wolf was launched into the air, sent hurtling before crashing violently into the ground.

For a moment, the pack forgot to howl.

Stunned, their eyes locked onto Drayken.

The giant red-furred wolf was the first to react. It growled, straightening the backs of the other wolves and snapping them back to focus.

Then its blood-red eyes locked onto Drayken, as if it intended to devour him whole.

Drayken continued forward, his pace slow and steady.

The smaller wolves retreated, fear clear in their eyes.

But the giant red-furred wolf stepped forward to confront the man, giving the lesser wolves a surge of courage.

Awoo!

Their formation shifted from encircling the cargo to now encircling the cloaked figure completely.

Drayken only shrugged, unconcerned.

His eyes swept past the wolves... and landed on the cargo.

They were traveling on strange horses wreathed in dark flames. Even the wheels of the carriages were aflame, and the entire structure was forged from metal.

There were three cargos in total, each escorted by a handful of people dressed in casual clothing, one of whom had already fallen, gravely injured.

"Hmm?"

Drayken stomped the ground. The earth trembled beneath him.

"It’s boring to play with weaklings. Let’s just fight you."

His figure vanished in an instant and in the next moment, he appeared directly in front of the red-furred wolf.

Awooo!

The wolf let out a fierce roar.

Drayken narrowed his eyes, clenched his fist, and punched lightly.

The wolf backed away and opened its jaws, unleashing a terrifying wind blade toward the incoming fist.

But within moments, the wind shattered.

The fist continued on its path, undaunted, and landed squarely on the wolf’s face.

The wolf howled in pain, eyes blazing with fury as it let out another roar.

But... nothing happened.

A flicker of confusion appeared in its cunning eyes.

In the next instant, Drayken vanished again, reappearing atop the wolf’s head.

"Little puppy, be obedient. If you want a fight, I’ll give you one." He grinned, stretching his fingers as a creaking sound echoed through the air.

Through his true eyes, Drayken could clearly see the nature of the wolf. It was cloaked in a red aura, an aura of pure, unrestrained anger.

The wolf, feeling challenged, refused to submit. It thrashed wildly against the ground, trying to shake Drayken off. But no matter how violently it struggled, Drayken remained firmly atop its back.

Gradually, its strength began to wane. Its movements slowed. Harsh, ragged breaths escaped its throat as exhaustion set in.

"It’s only been a few minutes, and you’re already worn out?" Drayken shook his head in disappointment. He could feel the wolf’s emotions shifting.

Anger had now turned to fear.

And he could sense the emotions of the humans in the cargo too, some filled with fear, others confused, and one seemed even excited.

’My Aura Farming spell and the True Eyes I gained are perfect for discerning everyone’s intent.’

With these abilities, he no longer had to worry about betrayal. He could see a person’s true nature, and their emotions, clearly, in real time.

Drayken landed lightly on the ground, turning to the exhausted red-furred wolf. He extended his hand.

"Do you give up?"

The wolf’s eyes were blurred with fatigue. It glanced at Drayken, then looked around at its subordinates.

And then, it let out another roar of rage.

"Still not done?" Drayken grinned.

He didn’t strike the wolf this time.

Instead, he let it unleash everything it had, tanking all its attacks without flinching.

Even as the wolf unleashed a terrifying wind blade, Drayken stood unmoved, his gaze locked onto the beast without the slightest flinch.

Every attack failed.

In the end, the wolf collapsed to the ground, its eyes still burning with rage but its body no longer responding.

Drayken shook his head and crouched beside it, gently running his hand through its fur.

"How about now?"

The wolf let out an involuntary purr, then immediately burned with fury at itself. But its body still wouldn’t move, humiliated in front of its subordinates, the shame ran so deep it almost wished for death.

Drayken chuckled. As he lifted his head, the rest of the wolves instinctively backed away in fear.

Wolves hunt in packs, they are smart and cunning. Even the strongest beast would be forced to retreat in the face of their sheer numbers.

But when confronted with an overwhelming power they cannot hope to defeat, their instinctual cowardice, born from relying on group strength, inevitably surfaces.

At this moment, they felt true fear in their hearts.

And as cowards, they retreated from the cloaked man.

"Weak," Drayken muttered, a single word heavy with disdain.

Just then, a well-dressed man, his body adorned with gold, approached with a fawning smile. Two guards in dark leather armor followed close behind.

The man, round-bellied and flushed with false cheer, bowed deeply as he reached Drayken.

"Thank you for saving us, Dragon Slayer."

Drayken gave a simple nod in response.
