Chapter 923 - Conscripting the Shadow Demon Wolf (1/2)

After learning of the Shadow Demon Wolf, Nie Yan became excited. A Level 180 Demonified Lord was just about right for what he wanted. In fact, any Level 180+ Demonified Lord was more than powerful enough. He didn’t dare to claim he could tame one, but facing one was absolutely no problem. With the help of all of Kalenna’s blessings, like against the Level 180 monsters he’d faced so far, he would definitely succeed!

Taming the Shadow Demon Wolf with Wolf King was a step easier than killing it. Not to mention the effects of the Great Prophet title, which could subdue it to a certain extent. All he had to do was make it slowly acknowledge him.

「Have Tyrannical send me its location,」Nie Yan said. Fortunately, he had plenty of time for hunting the Shadow Demon Wolf. The final battle against Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group was still a far ways away, since organizing several million troops spanning two continents took a lot of time. This war was nothing the likes they had ever seen before. It proved incredibly difficult, impossible even, to control such a large number of troops. They needed time to get used to this.

The Darkwing Dragon took to the air and flew off toward the southwest of the Abernethy Great Grasslands.

...

Dark Eldar Forest, this place was filled with towering trees. They were pitch black, almost as if they had been scorched by hellfire. Pockets of swamp dotted the forest floor. They contained the corpses of different creatures. No one could tell how long they’d been there, but they were thoroughly rotted. Anyone that came here would smell the thick stench of blood. Few players dared to enter this forest because it was the territory of Shadow Wolves.

Shadow Wolves were Level 180 monsters. They moved in packs and were extremely territorial. Anyone that intruded on their territory would be surrounded and attacked. Tyrannical and his team had searched around this area for quite some time before discovering the Shadow Demon Wolf.

A Level 180 Demonified Lord! After they found it, it also found them. Of the six of them, only Tyrannical escaped with his life, after which he immediately contacted Guo Huai.

The fallen Thieves revived at the graveyard and met back up with Tyrannical. Fear still gripped at their bodies and pulled them away from the forest. The Shadow Demon Wolf was simply too fast. They were dead before they could even react.

“The boss really wants to turn that thing into his mount? Is it really possible?” a Thief in ash gray leather armour asked.

“You shouldn’t doubt the boss. There’s nothing he can’t do!”

Still, that was a Level 180 Shadow Demon Wolf! It was truly difficult to imagine it being turned into a mount. Just its movement speed alone was beyond terrifying!

“The boss is coming in a bit. Stop dallying around. Help me clear the Shadow Wolves around here!” Tyrannical said.

The six Thieves hurriedly got to work. They were elite Thieves in Asskickers United. Any one of them could deal with a Shadow Wolf or two easily. However, if they were faced with an entire pack, they could only turn their backs and run.

Busy killing Shadow Wolves, a powerful gust of wind nearly sent them flying. A giant black dragon descended outside the forest. It was the Darkwing Dragon! Nie Yan hopped down from its back.

The Thieves went up to greet him.

“I’ve troubled you guys. Thank you. Now, where is the Shadow Demon Wolf?” Nie Yan asked.

“It’s deep inside the forest, behind all those Shadow Wolves. We’ll have to clear them out first, or else it’ll be a pain when we try to fight the Shadow Demon Wolf,” Tyrannical said, explaining the general situation.

“Alright, let’s clear them out.” Nie Yan nodded. At his command, Battle Angel Kalenna cast several blessings on the Thieves with a wave of her hand.

Tyrannical and the others were dumbstruck after seeing the change in their stats. Before, they could take on two Shadow Wolves at most. However, thanks to these blessings, they could easily deal with five at once!

Simply amazing!

Tyrannical’s group stared at Kalenna floating over Nie Yan’s shoulder. They were quite familiar with her, especially after the more recent battles. They couldn't help but think that she was even stronger than Tang Yao’s Arcane Fairy.

They didn’t waste time and hurriedly went about clearing the Shadow Wolves.

Nie Yan brought out Lil’ Gold and Paladin Lafus to help. They started covering more and ground. Before long, the forest floor was littered with the corpses of Shadow Wolves.

After methodically taking down a pack of Shadow Wolves, Tyrannical’s group turned to see where Nie Yan had gone. Their mouths dropped open in shock. Nie Yan had already entered the depths of the forest. In his wake was a large trail of corpses.

They glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after him.

After entering the heart of the forest, they arrived at a large clearing, where grass freely grew to waist height.

In the middle of the clearing stood a three meters tall wolf, even larger than Bladelight’s Kodo. Its entire body was covered in a luxurious coat of black fur without the slightest discolouration. A pair of icy blue eyes shone through the darkness of the forest. It bared its sharp fangs and let out a deep howl as it locked its gaze onto Nie Yan. The Shadow Demon Wolf!

It felt a sense of danger from Nie Yan. This wasn’t prey!

Nie Yan slowly walked toward the Shadow Demon Wolf.
