Volume 8 Chapter 214

Inferno Wolves

……Oh, someone’s already here?
That’s faster than I expected.
It’s only been half a day since I was stationed here and ordered by my master to『deal with anyone who comes with all my might』.
My master’s orders are absolute.
If someone comes here, I will defeat them with all my might.
My name is Fel.
I am the leader of the Inferno Wolves— the strongest monster wolves who manipulate Hell Flames.
To me, who can defeat even a mid-tier level demonkin, humans are nothing.
Except for my master.
It was yesterday, when I was tamed by a human man.
The man who is my master.

──＊＊＊──

Last night, someone entered my territory.
For decades, there had been no foolish ones attempting to invade the territory of the Inferno Wolves.
So, I decided to have a little fun with them.
I ordered my underlings to surround him and gradually corner him.
—-We were going to hunt him down.
However, he slaughtered my underlings with a force akin to defeating Grey Wolves, lower-ranked monster wolves.
I couldn’t believe it.
He disregarded the Hell Flames shot out by me and my underlings, effortlessly dodging the attacks of us, the fastest monsters, as if it were nothing.
Of the thirty-two underlings I had, they were turned into corpses within minutes.
As my underlings fell and anger surged within me, I couldn’t help but admire his movements.
Every action was efficient, flowing seamlessly.
With a swing of his arm, he severed the head of one of my underlings.
He dodged our attacks with a hair’s breadth, swiftly slicing through the torso of one of my underlings, who should have been attacking from a blind spot.
It seemed as if that place was completely under his control; our attacks didn’t land at all.
And he only attacked us thirty-three times in total.
The same number as the total number of Inferno Wolves present, including myself.
He single-handedly defeated all of my underlings.
Even I—-
I was completely outmatched.
With a single swing of their hand.
I was killed.
However, both I and my underlings were resurrected.
Resurrected by my master.
Upon my revival, the first thing I saw was—
The figure of my master, standing alongside the one who killed me.
Two identical human figures stood before me.
No, one of them wasn’t human.
The one who killed me.
He was my master’s magic.
Feeling their magic power up close again, I realized it was an immense concentration of magic power.
There was no way to win against such a being.
I immediately swore allegiance to the one who created him.
And I accepted my master’s taming.
Actually, rather than accepting, I was forcibly tamed……
Well, I don’t mind.
Right now I have the opportunity to fulfill my master’s order.
I will confront the intruders with all my might.
And show my master that I am capable.
First, let’s have my underlings scout around.
I am the boss of this floor.
I cannot leave this boss room.
『Leader, there’s a human female. Alone』
A telepathic message came from my underlings.
A single human female?
Is that so?
『What will you do? Attack? Flirt?』
I hesitated for a moment.
My master’s order was to defeat anyone who came here with all my might.
However, according to the report from my underlings, it seemed that she wasn’t an enemy we should confront with all our might.
After some thought—-
『Kill her』
I gave the order to my underlings.
No matter who the enemy may be, my master’s orders are absolute.
『Understood—-! Ah, th-that’s…!』
『Wha-Really?』
『N-No, it’s impossible, it can’t be!』
Suddenly, the telepathic messages from my underlings began to panic.
『Hey, what’s happ—』
『Aaaaagh!』
『Wha-What?!』
『–Eek!?』
In an instant, the telepathic messages from my underlings who were with the human female ceased.
I couldn’t understand what was happening.
「Hey, anyone there?」
I attempted to send other underlings from this floor to scout, but—-
『Eh, th-that’s– Guh!?』
『W-Why you』
『Hold o—-』
『Ugyaaahhh!』
Screams of agony echoed from all over the floor.
What in the world is happening!?
After a while, the screams from my underlings ceased.
Presumably, they had all been wiped out.
Unbelievable.
Was that human female really that powerful?
My underlings are all Inferno Wolves, after all, the strongest monster wolves.
We have a certain level of ability to gauge an enemy’s strength.
However, according to the reports from my underlings, there were no opinions suggesting that the human female was particularly strong.
If my underlings felt that way, then she shouldn’t have had much power in reality.
I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Curious about the situation outside, I was considering leaving the boss room when the door to this room opened.
Huh?
Why are you here?
Entering the boss room was my master’s clone.
Moreover, the aura they emanated was incomparably larger than when they defeated me last night.
From behind such a being—-
Three more monsters appeared.
And the words the first one directed at me were—-
「Sorry, but turn into Luna’s experience points」
It was a death sentence for me.
