The villain's way to tame the protagonist

My wounds healed quickly, but it was a pity that the wolf was not sold. My father said that a good prey must be intact, otherwise it would not be sold for a good price.

Our family had a big meal of meat after a long time. It was the first time I felt full, but this feeling of fullness didn’t last long.

Later, my father began to teach me how to hunt. I learned very quickly, as if I was born for hunting. It didn't take long for me to become the best hunter in the village, because I was faster, more sensitive, and more... powerful than all the hunter uncles.

The Blackwater Forest is a very large forest. Most hunters, even those from Blackwater City, only dared to hunt in the outer areas. But when I was eight or nine years old, I was able to run to the middle area near the depths, where the prey could be sold at a very good price.

I was in charge of hunting, while Lina and my father were in charge of taking the game to the city to sell. During those years, our family lived well, and I was able to support everyone in the family. Everyone said I was amazing, and I was indeed very proud of myself in the past, but now that I think about it... I don't think I'm that amazing.

The first time I ran into the forest, I wanted to hunt, and I didn't think about my family at all.

I just don't want to be hungry anymore.

Then… Then it seemed like two or three years had passed? In these years, with my ability, although I couldn't say I could eat my fill every day, I no longer went hungry.

However, even though I no longer suffer from hunger and can already live a well-fed life, I still feel like eating something. But it’s not to fill my stomach, and I don’t know what I’m trying to fill.

When I was twelve years old, I met Teacher Nia in the Blackwater Forest. She said that my talent should not be wasted here, and asked me if I wanted to go to that certain tower to study - of course I didn't want to go at all. If I went, what would happen to my parents and Lina?

But Teacher Nia found my parents and discussed with them for a long time. Finally, my parents decided to send me there to study and learn how to become a true extraordinary person.

Although Teacher Nia didn't ask for money, my parents still gave her all the money they saved, leaving only a little. Later, Teacher Nia told me that she would not accept the money and would keep it for me. After I finished my first school year, she would give me the money, hoping that I would work hard.

She also told me that my parents had thought about sending me to some lord to be a lifelong retainer a long time ago, but they were worried about my personality and other problems, so they finally chose to let me hunt in the village and told me not to blame them.

How could I blame them? They were absolutely right, and at that time I didn't want to be a retainer.

Anyway, Teacher Nia took me to that tower. She said she would protect me and told me not to worry. As long as I studied hard and grew up, I would definitely be the best.

I did become the best one. Teacher Nia would happily tell me every day that I broke this record and that record, but I was not happy.

Everyone here is annoying.

Anser said that it was because I was too self-righteous and arrogant at that time, and rejected all the goodwill that might be shown to me, but...is that really the case?

Is there really even one person who has genuine kindness towards me, a person from a remote village?

I was only twelve years old at that time, I knew nothing and was very stupid. In the whole college, I was probably the easiest person to deceive and control, so whether it was well-intentioned or malicious, it made no difference to me.

At the same time, there is a more important reason.

Because I found it, the hunger that was hiding somewhere.

I want to be stronger, I want more power.

And precisely because I wanted to become stronger and was always getting stronger, I couldn't stand those guys.

If I am stronger than them, why should I care about their opinions?

To become...stronger!

The frenzied Hitana raised her head and roared, and the shadow of the demon wolf behind her expanded to the limit. Even if it was only half of its body, it was already five meters tall. Its image became clearer and clearer, and the boundless red and black energy that was wrapped around the ferocious wolf body actually turned into an extremely bright black snake. The huge pupils in the blood-red light were actually the same as Hitana's current ones, the vertical pupils of a snake!

The demon wolf roared and clasped its claws together as Xitana roared. The red-black aura that covered the entire arena ruins like a lake gathered on the claws. The ice-blue dragon, which had been ignoring Xitana, seemed to finally notice the strangeness of the tiny existence under it. The pure brutality and cruelty... seemed to come from another beast, a provocative greed.

Crack, crack, crack, crack--

The claws of the demon wolf, which were wrapped with murderous aura, hit the scales of the ice-blue dragon, but it seemed that it still failed to break the defense that was more desperate than an iron wall. The huge vertical pupils of the strongest creature in the continent revealed a clear look of disdain. It wanted to pay some attention to the reptile below, but that was obviously meaningless. However, just when it was accumulating strength again and preparing to spit out anger at the enemy in front of it, a slight pain suddenly stopped the power gathered in its throat.

Then, there was a sharp pain that it had not experienced for a long time!

Ouch!

The excited roar of the demon wolf and the angry roar of the dragon mixed together. The murderous aura that was devouring and gnawing at the ether all the time... actually bit through the extraordinary defense that was naturally integrated into the dragon's scales. This was a dragon talent that was much stronger than the solidity spell released by a fourth-level warlock!

At the moment when the wolves tore that crack, the sharp claws filled with huge murderous intent heavily chiseled on the scales, instantly blasting out fine cracks, and this crack... was enough for Hitana's murderous aura to penetrate into it, quickly destroying the defensive strength of the scales, allowing the ferocious and brutal claws to expand the crack infinitely until it penetrated through it!

The claws completely pierced through the scales and embedded themselves into the dragon's flesh with their backs facing each other. Then they slowly and firmly tore it to the sides, actually digging a blood groove on the dragon's body!

The dark red snake pupils showed boundless greed, and half of her face was splashed with the legendary dragon blood. She did not reach out to wipe off the hot blood on her face. Her wild expression, which was no different from that of a beast, made the wolf look extremely charming. The demon-like Xitana howled and punched into the blood groove torn by the demon wolf, unreservedly pouring all the red and black killing breath and the endless wolf pack beside her into the body of the dragon!

The shattering of a scale was nothing to the dragon, and even the blood groove torn by the magic wolf was just a minor injury that could be ignored. But without any alchemical tools, weapons, advance preparations, or ambushes of any high-level spells, shattering the dragon's scales with a third-level body was already a miracle that could interest the emperor.

But Shitana... is not satisfied with this. What she wants to do is to kill, to completely kill this hunting beast that dared to defile her supreme love!

Eat it...eat more, eat more!

In fact, Hitana's mind was extremely clear. She was indulging her greed and ambition without reservation. The endless surge of high-purity ether and flesh and blood in the dragon's body was her best food. It was not only for eating, but more importantly, to use her wolf pack to cut off or even destroy the ether circulation in the dragon's body, making it a prey to be slaughtered by her fangs and claws.

But obviously, Hitana, who was in high spirits, full of desire and murderous intent, fell into an old habit again.

——How could it be possible that a giant dragon at the top of the extraordinary existence, and an ultimate monster that has reached the fifth level, the limit that non-divine species can reach... could be defeated with just a heart full of blood and self-confidence?

"Zah!"

Thick and short syllables burst out from the throat of the ice-blue dragon. The next moment, the sadism and ferocity on Hitana's face froze instantly. Both the Head of Wind and her innate extraordinary intuition were frantically reminding her to evade immediately, but when the roaring waves swept in all directions and set off a huge wave, her body could no longer move.

The giant creature with a wingspan of over a hundred meters lowered its head, and its dark golden vertical pupils showed the annoyance and anger of being bitten by ants.

Hitana, who was restrained in an instant, could feel the wolves running around and biting in the dragon's body, being... destroyed bit by bit.

Being able to break through the natural etheric membrane on the dragon's body was already an incredible miracle, but if one wanted to interrupt and destroy the etheric circulation in the dragon's body with a pack of greedy and murderous wolves, that would be pure wishful thinking.

These creatures are older than human history. They were the overlords of the continent hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago, the eternal rulers. Their evolution and changes over the long years have pushed them step by step towards perfect strength. The internal circulation of ether in the dragon's body, which human warriors cannot figure out in their entire lives, is nothing but a natural gift.

And after a long period of training and polishing, this talent has reached the pinnacle of the fifth level and is almost impeccable.

Every time a fifth-level dragon is killed, it requires an enormous amount of manpower, financial resources and material resources, which symbolizes a world-shaking fight and hunting. Even if it is swallowed by the beast king, even if it is the power that can fight the dragon king in the future, it is impossible to break through the mountain in the dragon's body at the peak of the third level.

And to subdue Sitana? How difficult is it to subdue this third-order ant, whose lethality is incredibly strong but that's all?

The tiny being that was bound by it was reflected in the vertical pupils of the ice-blue dragon. In just a moment, the anger in its eyes dissipated.

No one would invest too much emotion in an ant. After the anger of being bitten subsides, all that is left is indifference.

It was even too lazy to generate the shock wave that could shatter the mountaintops and destroy the city. It just raised its dragon claws and slowly rolled towards the motionless Hitana like the sky falling.

The best way to deal with ants is, of course, to step on them to death.

Hitana looked up at the giant claw that was about to crush her to death, and a glimmer of light flashed across her dark red snake eyes that seemed completely ignorant and crazy.

I now know that the trouble caused by the conflict with that group of people does not come from them themselves, but from the things behind them.

I learned that many things are not as simple as they seem.

If I help civilians casually, they will become too dependent on me. If I only look for people with good character, it will be difficult to find capable people. If I am too demanding, I will simply not have anyone capable of doing anything under my command.

There are many bad people and few good people. Those who have the ability to climb up and have climbed up with great difficulty always have selfish motives. The vast majority of people do not think about doing things purely for others. The empire is a stinking garbage, but without it, many people would be doomed and would not be able to survive... I know all this.

Anser, he has taught me everything.

But even so, was my mistake that I didn't swallow my anger and kneel down to them in a servile manner?

My mistake was that I always extended a helping hand to those in need, that I had to find honest and kind people to handle matters, and that I was self-righteous and thought that as long as I extended a hand to help others, everything would be fine?

Is it because... I am a naive and arrogant childish guy who never grows up and refuses to wake up from a sweet dream?

No, that's not right. It's not like that. I hate those high-handed bastards. I don't want more people to live such a miserable and difficult life. I don't think my idea is wrong.

I had only one mistake.

That is, I am not strong enough, my strength is not absolute enough, and what I eat... is not enough.

Then I am, correct.

Anser is right, but on the other hand, all his criticisms are based on the premise that I am not strong enough.

As long as I am strong enough, even Anser will not be able to criticize me.

If I were strong enough, I wouldn't let this damn lizard disturb the battle between Anther and me, and I could prove to Anther that I have already... already...

The thirst for power grew wildly in the soul of Hitana Lansmalos, and the beast that had merged with her deep in her heart kept howling. But facing the shadow of death again, even though she had entered this extreme bestial state, the desire for power in her heart had reached an insatiable point... The door to the fourth level was still tightly locked.

Ansher couldn't find the reason, and neither could Sitana.

Why? She had reached the critical point of power, her desire had exceeded the limit, and her mastery of the beast element had broken through the limit of her rank. The killing and consuming breath that should have been mastered by the fourth rank, the wolf pack that swept across everything and devoured the ether, had already been controlled by her. This proved that in terms of the comprehension of the element, Xitana had no problem at all.

What on earth… made her stuck in this position, unable to move forward even half a step?

Anser...If it were Anser, what would he do?

If it was Anser, he would have thought of the answer by now. He must have known the answer, but he didn't tell me because he wanted me to break through on my own.

He always thinks I’m doing well enough, but I’m never good enough. If I’m doing well enough, if I’m doing well enough, many things won’t happen——

If it was Anser, if it was Anser, he would...

...Why, Anser?

When the dragon claw was about to crush Hitana to death like an ant, this thought suddenly emerged in the wolf's mind.

Why at this time, why is this desire of mine... still linked to Anser?

I just want to become stronger.

*

Ansher looked at Xitana, who could no longer move, and sighed softly.

Even at this point, Sitana still failed to successfully break through that boundary.

He even began to wonder if fate was secretly at work... Although such a thing should be impossible, it was also unbelievable that Xitana had not broken through to the fourth level after two consecutive heavy pressures and in excellent condition.

In the originally planned future, although the life of the Wolf Emperor was tragic and heartbreaking, her extraordinary journey, except for dropping out of the Sky Frost Tower, was smooth sailing.

When breaking through the boundaries, she did not face any difficulties, not even any obstacles. Not to mention the fourth level, even achieving the fifth level was easy and natural.

The Blue Sky Wolf Emperor fought bloody battles all the way to the road of domination. After personally putting an end to his sinful sister, he had no more worries in his heart and stepped onto the highest ladder with the purest and most sincere faith. So what is the difference between this Blue Sky Wolf Emperor and the current Hitana?

Difference...difference?

Anser's pupils trembled slightly.

The difference is that Sitana's family survived, so she didn't have to experience such a painful life of losing everything and ending her sister's life with her own hands?

No, the biggest difference is...himself.

There is only one person who changed Xitana Lancemalos, and that is Ansir Hydra.

How could I... forget something like this.

Understanding of the elements, powerful strength, and ardent desire are all necessary conditions to support a normal extraordinary person to advance from the third level to the fourth level.

But this only applies to ordinary extraordinary people.

For those geniuses and heroes who possess supreme talents and abilities that surpass others and are rare in dozens or hundreds of years, some hurdles are set by themselves.

What path should I take in the future, is my inner awareness firm enough, what kind of existence I want to become... These questions are not necessary, but every brilliant and extraordinary talent will definitely ask themselves such questions.

It has nothing to do with the limitations of the extraordinary system, it just depends on themselves.

The Wolf Emperor of the Sky is pure enough. Her purity lies in the fact that she has nothing to lose and she knows what she wants. Because of these two points, her heart will not be shaken or confused at all, and her fists and feet are decisive and powerful enough.

But Xitana, does she... really know what she is doing and what she wants?

She had experienced too little, but wanted too much. The things she wanted to change were too difficult, but her life was going smoothly. Ansir Hydra made her lose her decisiveness and that...purity.

In other words, if Shetana were to realize this, her greatest enemy...

it's me?

Because I am the despised devil, and she is the destined hero.

"Anser!"

Ming Fuluo's anxious shout brought Ansel back to reality: "Why don't you help her? Xitana is about to be trampled to death by that big lizard!"

"..."

Sitana... have you thought about it?

Now that you are dominated by your animal nature, you should be able to think of it and be able to keenly perceive this abnormality.

I have too much control over your life. If you want to continue, if you want to break through to the fourth level, you have to make a choice.

Ansel had not expected that the hidden danger of his decision to respond to Xitana's passionate love would come so early.

[Beasts cannot be tamed. Tamed beasts are not beasts, but livestock.]

This is what Sitana once answered Anser.

The Beast King was destined to embark on a path that surpassed everything, but on that day, Sitana's absolute dominance over her animal nature overwhelmed everything, causing Ansel to be defeated and make a decision that was the most absurd for him.

But until now, Ansel has never regretted it.
