Versatile: Alternate World

247 The Dark Desert Wolf Pack

The Dark Desert Wolf didn't expect to see an ancient beast before and its aura is just enough to shake his wits. He has been facing many large enemies in the past and with the help of his pack, they were nothing for him. However, this is the first time he is faced with something he can't win.

"So, are you going to join me? I can just leave without any problem."

The Dark Desert Wolf might be terrified of Leona but for the sake of his pack, he didn't show a weak knee from Leona despite not feeling good about her appearance.

"If I join, what would happen to my pack?"

"It depends on you, if you want them to come, I can welcome them anytime."

Lucia approached me and whispered in my ear.

"Master, are you sure you can take them all? I doubt you can take everyone as your pet."

"I can do that without any problem. After all, I didn't tame them, I asked them to become my subordinate. Subordinates don't have any need for me to register them as my pet."

"Then what about Leona?"

"She is automatically treated as a pet since I hatched her from an egg. If I didn't hatch her from an egg and just did the same way I did with the Dark Desert Wolves, she will be a companion instead of a pet."

"Oh? Is that how it works?" Lucia scratches her head.

"Anyways, what are your decision?"

"I want to also get stronger. I need to get stronger for the sake of my pack. Please, accept me and my pack."

When the Dark Desert Wolf said that, a pop-up appeared before me.

[The Dark Desert Wolf pack wanted to join your journey as your subordinate. Do you want to accept?]

Yes/No

I am expecting a few pop-ups but I didn't expect to see only one pop-up. Reading on it, I realized that they are counted as one unit by the system, creating (The Dark Desert Wolf Pack) as their unit name. Anyways, nothing changed so I clicked yes immediately.

"Alright. Now that you 7 are now in my care, it's time for me to give you guys names."

"Names? Is that necessary?" The elite Dark Desert Wolf asked.

"Yes. I can't just keep on saying you and you on all of you guys. It would be best to get you all a nickname or a codename, though if any of you guys had a nickname, it is also fine."

"We don't use names since that concept is not present on us. However, if you wanted to, we can accept it."

"Alright. Since you are the leader, let's call you Yonaka due to your silky black fur. Next, you are Kurogane due to your metallic shine on your fur, next, you are Kasuga since you look like you are always refreshed from your surroundings like a spring day. The one with the white circle fur color on your body, you are Kengai since that white circle looks like an orbit around your body. You with the uneven fangs, you are Kiba. The one with greyish fur, you are Kaihaku, you with an injured eye, I shall call you Katame, and the last one, since you are dark in color and you look gloomy out of everyone here, you are Kurai."

Lucia didn't expect me to name them all without pausing to think.

"Wow, Master. You sure know already what to name them? It's pretty awesome you have names for them already!"

"Nah, it's pretty easy actually. Now, since you guys are now my subordinates, here, have some meat, they are pretty much tasty and edible."

I pull out some meat that I got from the monsters I managed to kill and butcher. Since meat is also a material for cooking, I have plenty of them in my inventory.

"Huh? Am I dreaming? Meat?!" Yonaka shook his head and look at his pack mates and saw them enjoying the food that I gave them. He then looks at me with questions in his eyes.

"Hey, I wouldn't treat my subordinates badly. It's only natural you guys got meat as food. I have plenty of them in my inventory. Eat well guys since, after this, we will increase your levels. Who knows, you guys might be able to trigger your evolutions."

It's not only in a certain game and show creatures like this evolves. Here, they also evolve and have a new form every evolution. They get stronger and they gain new abilities. Even Leona has a chance to evolve once I get to find the trigger on her evolution. As of now, she will remain the same.

The wolves quickly devour the meat and from the looks on their faces, they finally found the vigor and they are energized back to health.

"Alright. So, are you guys ready to fight? We will go on hunting and raise your levels."

"YES!" every wolf said.

"Okay, come inside my Summon's world. Let's go somewhere to hunt since this place is not the appropriate place to begin the hunt."

With the help of Lucia and Atlas, the wolves managed to enter the summons world without any problem. Now, I can summon them anytime I want.

"Leona, let's go."

...

Our first target is the Giant Devouring Sandworm, a level 95 boss that spawns in the Hostile Zone near the Giant Ruins, a level 150 area. It is pretty much too dangerous for us to venture there so I have to just stay on the Giant Devouring Sandworm this time around. It's not a bad target and this will test the wolves in their teamwork and to see how well they hunt a target bigger than them.

I checked their levels and all of them are level 60. It is not that high compared to the Giant Devouring Sandworm but I am helping them so they won't have much problem dealing with the enemies.

"Alright guys, go out so that we can begin our hunt."

The seven wolves looked around and they looked confused.

"Master, what are we going to hunt?"

"We are going to hunt the Giant Devouring Sandworm. I hope you guys are ready since I will let you guys deal damage to this guy."

Yonaka was shocked when he heard the Giant Devouring Sandworm.

"Are you sure we are hunting that Master? Isn't that going to kill us?" the other wolves started to get uneasy.

"You guys, I didn't bring you guys here to die, I brought you guys here to level up. No worries since I will also be helping. You guys don't need to worry."

After that, I pull out my Versatile Weapon and changed it to a magic sword.

"Alright, let's begin the hunt. Brace yourselves."

Striking the sand with my sword, I immediately cast [Earthquake] in the vicinity. [Earthquake] works best in soil but the effects of the skill weakened due to the sand's loose nature compared to the compact soil. However, when the duration of the [Earthquake] is done, it is proven that it is still working even in the sand when the sand started to shake once more even though [Earthquake]'s duration is already over.

"Look's like it is coming out. Prepare guys, we are in for a big one."

The sand started to move and it didn't take a matter of seconds before it exploded and a huge creature popped out of the sand.

[Giant Devouring Sandworm] Boss

Hp: 1,000,000/1,000,000

Type: Earth, Beast

"Alright! Please wait a bit guys, wait for me."

After that, I jump towards the body of the Giant Devouring Sandworm and covered my sword with [Ice Sword]. The Giant Devouring Sandworm is quick and tried to burrow back to the sand.

"Like hell I would let you go back to the ground! [Ice Prison]!"

The sand that was supposed to be the safe haven of the Giant Devouring Sandworm suddenly solidified and the blue ice stopped it from burrowing further. Of course, it is a temporary way to stall this bastard.

I strike the stomach area of the Giant Devouring Sandworm and unleash [Earth Fissure]. However, it didn't work well, the Giant Devouring Sandworm just have a very high resistance to it.

The Giant Devouring Sandworm tried to attack me with its big mouth and started to dash towards me.

"F*CK YOU! Burn!"

I jump off the body and shoot out [Fireballs] to the boss's mouth. The attack hit but it didn't deal much damage. It did gave a good reaction from the boss since it started to struggle and it stopped chasing.

Landing back to the sand, I started to charge back to it again and attack its scales with some sword hits. It's pretty sturdy but not indestructible. I only needed a bit of force for it to break.

CRACK!

The [Ice Prison] that stops it from moving breaks. With the opportunity, the boss didn't hesitate to burrow back to the hole in the sand. However, it is pretty clear that it will be not the last time it will appear.
