Chapter 249: Taming Without Equipment

Trying to tame the monster while keeping the other minions alive is hard. Not only that but because this is an Elite Monster, it would take quite a bit of beating before it gets to be possible to be tamed. And although I don't have expertise with taming monsters, I do have the basic knowledge in taming but I didn't do any in the past timeline due to how complicated some of the things I experienced. Thankfully, this timeline is no longer similar to the old timeline.

After looking for a chance to slip through the other wolves, I finally found one chance and grabbed the rare opportunity as they are hard to deal with if they attack in packs.

My sudden arrival in front of the wolves was so sudden that they were startled by my appearance.

"Atlas! Lucia! Now!"

The two appeared immediately and took hold to block the other mobs. The Elite monster, Dark Desert Wolf immediately stood up and brandish its fangs and claws, but I quickly stopped it from its tracks.

"[Ice Prison]!"

The Dark Desert Wolf was in the middle of leaping towards me when the [Ice Prison] appeared around its body and freeze its legs.. Before it can even land an attack, it was frozen on the spot and started to fall.

Once the Dark Desert Wolf's half-frozen body is falling in the air, I changed my weapon into a gauntlet and made a full-force punch to the falling Dark Desert Wolf.

"YELP!"

-You have dealt 10,000 damage!

I almost killed it instantly and I was lucky that the critical hit didn't proc or else, this guy is instantly dead.

The Dark Desert Wolf struggled to stand up after severe damage done from the punch. I purposely used the Gauntlet as this weapon has blunt damage that has a bit low chance to kill enemies instantly if you hit it somewhere on its body that it can withstand. In swords and other bladed weapons, they are much dangerous and with my Versatile Weapon, it would just kill the Dark Desert Wolf.

"Alright doggy, come here and be tamed!"

I grabbed the weak Dark Desert Wolf and wrapped the [Chain of Taming] to its neck. The dull color of the chain suddenly glow in gold and the Dark Desert Wolf started to struggle.

A small interface appeared and a circle with percentages on the center appeared before me. It was like I am doing a download on the internet but the difference is that I am trying to make sure it won't fail.

1%

2%

3% 

4%

5%

The percentage number keeps on rising while the Dark Desert Wolf also struggled to break free.

"Master? Are you done? These wolves are hard to defend without killing them!" Lucia said while shoving the wolves and keeping them at bay using her flames. As for Atlas, he is doing fine with his thick defense but it is also clear he is also struggling not to accidentally kill a single wolf. After all, he is pretty strong and he might squish one wolf if he gets too forceful in the process.

90%

91%

92%

It was about to reach 100% when...

CRACK!

The chain breaks and the energy that was accumulating on the necklace that was trying to subdue the Dark Deser Wolf suddenly breaks. I already expected it so I quickly swapped it out with another [Chain of Taming]. Too bad it has to start again in the very beginning but I have no choice about it since it is the only way to tame a monster.

...

13 minutes later...

My sweat is already dripping and was waiting for the number of the interface to reach the necessary number I needed to see.

98%

99%

I was expecting it to finish at 100 but like always, it breaks off.

"F*ck... that's the last [Chain of Taming] I got!"

Without the [Chain of Taming] I have no more item to subdue it to submission. The Dark Desert Wolf is already struggling to move after several attempts to subdue it and the energy from the [Chain of Taming] is already wearing it out alongside the low health, it contributed a lot. However, it is not an easy way to finish things, especially I don't have any ways to tame it anymore.

Maybe the Druid class has something that can allow me to tame it without a piece of equipment for taming?

The Druid class is not really common in the game that is why I rarely see them. Most of the time, I see Druids do odd jobs with their pets and I rarely see a Druid class on the battlefield. I am not so familiar with their class tree since I barely find a player that can assist me in taking notes on how a druid class works in the past timeline.

But there is one thing I notice about Druid classes. They are the players with the highest chance to have a pet with them whether they are birds, wolves, bears, or even some monsters. The only thing I knew since the past timeline after knowing a few things from a Druid, a tamed beast, or a pet will greatly enhance the combat capability of a druid so the higher the level of the monster you control, the stronger you and your monster can become.

Since a Druid focuses on pets and taming, maybe there is a skill that will increase the chances of the monster becoming my tamed monster without using the [Chain of Taming]?

I quickly browsed out the skills and passive of the Druid. I remembered there is a skill that might help with taming a monster but I am not sure how this works much.

[Animal Language: Vol: 1]

Type: Passive

Tier 1

SP Cost: 50

Info: The language of animals is vast and complicated. However, this is just the first step in making friends with the other creatures residing in nature and understanding one another.

Note: This is a f*cking thick dictionary and almanac about the sounds of animals with literal translations.

I quickly bought it and all of a sudden, a bunch of words that I didn't know appeared in my mind for a split second. It is pretty quick so it didn't hurt my head.

"[Damn it, if only I am strong enough, I will rip your body apart right now...ugh...]"

I look at the source of the voice and find out that the one speaking is none other than the Dark Desert Wolf. I look at the minions and I can hear their voices too,

"[Boss! I know you are strong! Get up please!]

"[We will help you, boss, after we deal against these guys!]"

So their relationship is a lackey and a boss huh? Alright, I guess I had to give him a talk.

"Hey."

The Dark Desert Wolf growled when I approached, showing the sharp fangs. But the Dark Desert Wolf is having a hard time just standing up so it is too weak to attack.

"Alright, I apologize for beating you up. I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to tame you."

"So you just wanted to enslave me? F*cking hell, you almost killed for that sake? I would rather die than be enslaved by a human!"

"That's why I am apologizing. As a way of apology, I will heal your injuries."

I snap my fingers and the wounds of the Dark Desert Wolf healed up. The Dark Desert Wolf frowned and slowly stood up after getting healed back to health.

"[Why would you do that, human? I can just go and rip you with my fangs after you have given me an opportunity.]"

"Hah, you think I don't have the ability to bring you back to the earlier state?"

"[Urk...]"

"As I stated earlier, I am not here to kill you. I am just here to tame you but since I ran out of those things that can tame a creature, I decided to negotiate with you."

"[And why do you think I would listen to you, hmm?]"

"If you are not willing to listen, you should have attacked me immediately after healing you."

"[Hmph. Boys, stop attacking those guys. This human here came to negotiate. I will talk to him]."

The other desert wolves stopped and complied with their leader's wishes.

"[Alright. So, why do you think it is beneficial for me to join you? I am fine as I am while living here with my subordinates. What can you give me if I join you?]"

"I don't know the standards of your comfort but I can give you food that you don't normally get daily. You will be able to eat the food that you like as many times as you like."

"[Huh, but we are eating fine. How about giving us a way to get stronger? Can you do that?]"

"Oh, you want to be strong? How about this level of strength? Leona, come out for a sec," I snap my fingers and Leona fly above the sky that made the wolves cower in fear after feeling the pressure.

"[What is this feeling of strength and pressure?!]"

"You want to become like her? Become my companion. I will help you get stronger. How about it?"
