Chapter 40 Taming The Wolf Pack
Leo jumped, narrowly dodging an attack from one of the wolves. He dove down, sliding and dodging another attack by just a hair breadth.
He was inching closer to the injured wolf with every step but the pack were more determined to stop him, and their determination kept growing by the second and this was the same with their aggression.
Ms Ves was behind him, doing her best to hold them back but they kept slipping through, until it was just the pack leader that was left. And now, the two of them were engaged in a very fierce battle.
The wolf pack leader was also getting even more aggressive in its battle with Ms Ves and was giving her a very hard time. And to make things even more difficult for her, she's yet to recover fully from her injury, causing her to experience pain with each exchange she had with pack leader.
Leo knew that he has pick up the pace when he saw Ms Ves struggling and doing her best to hold back the pack leader. And he was also aware that she wasn't going to last long.
He knew that things would get even more difficult if the pack leader is join in the fray currently chasing after him, and this another reason for him to hurry things up.
He continued running towards the injured wolf and in almost in front of it, with the only obstacle standing between him and it being the wolf that's guarding it. And also, those chasing him from behind.
He took a step forward and the next moment the guard wolf lunged at him, baring its fangs at him.
Leo sidestepped, narrowly dodging the attack, but just as he prepared to move forward, he felt a sharp tug on his pants.
Glancing down, he saw one of the wolves clamped onto the fabric, its teeth tearing into the material as it tried to yank it from his waist.
Leo grunted and punched the wolf on the nose, causing it to release his pants and fall to the ground, whimpering in pain.
Leo didn't pay attention to its whimpering as he moved towards the injured wolf. He arrived in front of it and immediately knelt down beside it.
The injured wolf growled weakly at him and tried to lung at him, but it collapsed back to the floor, whimpering in pain.
The wolf pack paused in their attack when they saw Leo kneeling beside the injured wolf. And this included the pack leader.
They started inching closer to the two of them, growling and snarling, as if warning him not to do anything to the wolf.
He didn't pay attention to them as he cut his palm with Nightshade, held the head of the injured wolf and brought his now bleeding palm to its mouth.
Leo would be spewing nothing but falsehood if he said that he has any idea of what he's doing, as he don't. His whole line of actions has been him following his gut feeling. Or should he call it instincts.
Bringing his crimson stained palm to the wolf's mouth, he closed his eyes, trying to sense something within himself.
Again, he has no idea what he's doing as he was just following his instinctual feeling that guiding him.
Slowly, Leo felt that his position change and he was no longer kneeling on the ground but floating in a dark space. There was nothing in the dark space except a massive spherical ball of swirling purple and golden lights that refused to mixed, floating in front of him like a sun.
Leo was shocked by the massive purple-golden sun but he wasn't able to pay too much attention to it as he felt something calling out to him from within it.
He concentrated his attention on whatever it was that was in the purple-golden sun that was attracting him.
As he continued to focus on the purple-golden sun, he felt a presence in the sun and then a horrifying and crippling pressure descend on him, and he felt like he was being suffocated.
Both the presence and the pressure was brief, disappearing almost immediately, like it was never there
The next moment, he had no idea what happened as he found himself back in the real world. Before coming back to the real world, he seem to have seen the two colours of the sun trying to mix but he had no idea what happened afterwards.
He was still kneeling on the ground, with the wolf head in his hand and his bleeding palm pressed to its mouth. But there was changes.
The injured wolf that previously looked like it was on the brink of death and was now on its last breath, was now breathing steadily and the injury he inflicted on it has healed completely.
Unlike before when the wolf was constantly whimpering in pain, it was now sleeping peacefully in his arm.
That wasn't the only changes as Leo felt he could now feel some sort of connection with the wolf. He could now hear its thought directly in his head, see into its memories and he could understand how it was feeling. And right now, it was extremely and glad that it could finally sleep after so long.
But that wasn't the most important change that Leo experienced. Unknown to him, in the dark space that the purple-golden sun was, the phantom of a wolf that looks similar to the one in his arm, was now floating in front of the sun.
"So the both of you are siblings, huh?" Leo said to himself, as he caressed the wolf's fur.
He raised his head and saw that the pack had stopped inching closer to him and was now standing at a distance, looking at him and the wolf in his arm.
But this wasn't the same for the pack leader as it continued walking towards them, growling in a low voice.
Leo's body tensed up when he saw the pack leader walking towards them. He could feel that even after he healed his its sibling, it was still angry at him and still has the intention of attacking.
Leo was feeling tensed because his body wasn't in its peak condition. Whatever it is that he did to heal the wolf gas left him feeling very weak.
"Sure, you can see your sister," he said, gesturing towards it.
The pack leader looked at Leo cautiously, hesitating a little but when its eyes fell on its siblings, it threw all cautious to the wind and ran towards them.
It got to where Leo and the wolf was. And it brought its head closer to its sister and whined in a low voice, nuzzling his nose and burying its nose into her fur for warmth.
After a few minutes of it making sure that his sister was safe, it looked at Leo and took a couple of steps back. After that, it sank to the ground, its body pressed flat against the ground, its tail tucked between its legs and its head lowered.
Seeing this, the whole pack followed suit, also submitting to Leo just like their pack leader did.
Leo smiled and sighed in relief when he saw this. He felt like he just took a trip to an unknown place seeking for something that never was but was fortunate enough to get it.
Leo wasn't the only one feeling relieved and happy that the situation has been resolved as planned. Ves who was standing at a distance, with her bandaged fingers that were now covered in blood due to her injuries reopening, was smiling proudly at the scene.
"It hurts." She winced, as she unintentionally tried to clench her fist.
....
Meanwhile, in Leo's apartment, Tatiana and Elda was standing in front of the window looking at the scene that just transpired in shock, disbelief and confusion.
Even Elda who was the most experienced one between the both of them has no idea what just happened.
It wasn't the taming of the wolf that was shocking to her, as its isn't something thats unheard of. Though beast taming is rare, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
Her shock was from the process that Leo used. All she knew was that Leo touch the wolf and the following moment, a very terrifying presence that caused her skin to crawl and cold sweat to full her back the enveloped him, and the surrounding for a brief moment before disappearing.
It was like what she felt was an illusion but for someone like her who is a Overlord Rank, there are not that much people in the whole known universe that can make her feel this way.
She was happy the presence wasn't hostile as she couldn't begin to imagine what their fate would be if it was.
This made her to suddenly take the deal between her Miss and Leo serious. She has no idea whose descendant he truly is, but one thing she knew very well is that that those people aren't ordinary.
'He's favoured by that 'person' and he has the aura of the universe's two most powerful races around him. Leo, who are you truly? And why did the scent of your blood become even stronger? Young Miss, who did you get yourself entangled with?'
What do you think?
