Chapter 51 51: An Annoyed Arachne

"Lay down mongrel!"

Boom!*

Gravity seemed to increase around the werewolf as it was brought to the ground, it struggled mindlessly to attack the figure walking towards it, but it could barely force itself.

Yet as time continued, bit by bit, it was adjusting to the oppressive force. However Noah was already upon it, before walking towards the wolf, he made sure to put all ten of his attributes into agility to be safe. If he was going to tame it then he would need to reach the head if he was going to establish the connection faster. He couldn't allow any mishaps.

"…."

Everyone stood still, if it wasn't for the wild growls coming from the werewolf then it would be quiet enough to hear the person next to them breathing.

No one had words to describe what was happening in front of them, why was the werewolf listening to him? Many people in the group had the same thought. Yet there were a few who even believed that he was controlling the werewolf the whole time and could only be a unique zombie long the King previous. The few with those thoughts are the same ones who were there to witness his belligerent and crazed stat while eating the Zombie King in the middle of battle.

They felt they should speak up, they wondered why no one was doing anything but they too were afraid to say anything. If the wolf caused so much destruction alone then how in danger were they now that its master returned. Thankfully only a small minority of the students thought as much.

Gasp*

It helped that when they saw Noah approaching the wolf, it stretched its neck in an attempt to bite him whole. However, just like the other times, he was able to sidestep the attack and at the same time he made a leap to mount its neck while placing his hand on its head. Instantly the two stood still.

There were only a few people there who understood what was happening. One was Isabelle, who saw him do this before while the others were Bailey and her small group, Blake himself tamed a creature, so they knew the process of doing so.

"Ar-are we saved?"

"What's going on? Why aren't they moving? Are they dead?

"Should we attack….? What happens if it starts moving again?"

"Wait…If he could do this, why didn't he do this before? People were killed for no reason!"

The act of Noah subduing the wolf had incited many different reactions from the spectators, some more questionable than the others. Lucky for them, Noah wasn't able to hear any of it while he was going through his battle, a battle he presumed would take a lifetime. However when they entered that world, the force of being rejected didn't occur. Instead he felt that the wolf's ball that resembled its soul was anticipating being tamed and was actually being drawn towards his soul!

He felt something was wrong, his new skills definitely would play a part during this time, but he didn't feel that taming a beast of this level should be easy.

The wolf's orb of gas was also a rise for concern. The zombie werewolf was definitely originally human, but there wasn't a speck of white anywhere in its orb. A black hole is the first thought that came to mind when the dark void of the wolf's soul. Because of that he was also able to easily notice the wisps of red.

While the orb grew closer, he noticed the red becoming more prevalent out of the darkness. The wisp began to glow and become chaotic while parts of the black that made up the majority of its being was being replaced by the chaotic color.

'Shit!'

It took him longer to realize, but when he saw the appendages made of black and red stretch out and were directed towards him. He finally noticed what was happening.

'The bastard is trying to tame me instead?' Inwardly he panicked due to the surprising, yet dangerous situation he found himself in. His first thought was to reject the wolf's attempt like how the other creatures he tamed attempted to do.

But that would also mean he would fail to tame the beast. He too made the decision to tame the other, his orb launched its own tentacles of various shades.

'!'

When the opposing orbs clashed with the other, he didn't undergo the experience from his previous attempts. The feeling of being controlled or trying to dominate the connection wasn't being relayed to him from the Wolf's soul.

He felt that the wolf was actually trying to consume and merge with his very soul. Why was this happening? He wouldn't know, he could come up with reasons later. What he did know was that he wasn't going to allow whatever it was doing to happen. From the connection, he could tell, or more to say he wasn't able to feel any emotion coming from the wolf's soul. Soul whatever it was doing was just instinctual.

When he focused his thoughts to establish the bond, he found that his spiritual strength was more than enough to dominate the other now that the two orbs were now connected.

During this time, he didn't realize the red in his own orb was also slowly expanding.

…..

"We've waited for too long…we should do something!" Mark took a step forward with his dull sword in hand. Many others were also beginning to reciprocate the same feeling. But there were still some that didn't agree with him.

"Mark, we shouldn't. We don't know what's going to happen, but we atleast owe it to Noah to wait and see what happens." Jas responded, but her eyes never left from Noah's and the werewolf's figure while she spoke. She was looking for anything, a twitch, a subtle change in his expression, anything to let them know something was going to happen.

Mark stopped to look at his sister with a look of betrayal before he grew irritated.

"We don't owe him anything! If anything he owes us an explanation. People died from that beast, if he could stop as easily as he just did then why didn't he do so earlier?"

In the crowd, many emotional students became more inclined to Mark's side. They had friends who died and they themselves almost did too. Not to the werewolf, but from the horde of the zombies before it. Someone had to take the blame for their experience, who better than the person who had power and the responsibility to save them because of that power?

"You guys…." One by one people began to step behind Mark with their weapons drawn. The scene left Jasmine speechless when she saw the ten or so people stand to interfere when none of them had the courage to before.

Mark noted that look of worry in his sister's eyes. It was that same look when he was being described as a murderer. He may have had other intentions of doing what he was about to do, but he didn't want his sister to think killing Noah was one of them.

"Jas look…we are basically helping him, there's nothing wrong with doing that right? If we kill that monster before anything happens then it would help us all. If he doesn't succeed in what he's trying to do then who knows how many other people would die?"

Boom!

He and his following were about to make their way over when a large object fell from the sky between them and Noah.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Arachne was annoyed, her understanding of human language was improving due to her bond with Noah so when she heard Mark, it wasn't difficult at all for her to understand what he said. She had just neglected the heated conversation from them before, but her curiosity peaked when she heard her master's name.

She wasn't sure what was going on until she saw them brandishing their weapons and were about to head in Noah's direction. That's when she recalled that they were going to attempt to steal her master's prey! She couldn't allow that, not when she could feel that her master was just about done.

Her face couldnt express her annoyance, but to get her feelings across and her warning. She beat her legs repeatedly onto the ground while she rubbed her fangs to induce a hissing effect.

"Stop!" Bailey rushed over while holding the unconscious Ailetta in a princess carry. Her companions saw her heading over and they too wanted to rush to her side, but only Blake was able to. Paul was still being healed by Isabelle who was finally able to stop the numerous wounds from bleeding.

Bailey didn't know what came over her, but when she saw the spider jump down, she knew she had to do something. She knew from Blakes experience that Noah was attempting to tame the Werewolf. She didn't know if he would succeed, but what she did know was that she didn't want to get on his bad side. She also saw the speed at which Arachne moved.

Arachne may have not been able to do much against the two boss-like monsters, but she had a feeling that the spider was similar to a boss in her own right.

She looked at Mark's group as if they were idiots.

"Where were you when Paul was in trouble? Why wait till now to interfere? You all may be too emotional to notice, but look who this spider belongs too! If he could get that beast on his side, that would only make being around him that much safer. Do you want to make him your enemy!"

The people stopped to look at one another before looking at Mark. For the few who saw the other worldly battle between Noah and the King, their body's became heavy as they dropped their weapons. The ones who could still vividly remember the act of eating the Zombie king caused a few to wet themselves. They all looked at Arachne who looked just as menacing. 'What were we about to do?' They all thought to themselves in fear.

"…FINE! Don't regret this if he fails, but if anyone else dies then it's on you!" Mark huffed before finally relenting. How bad would his image appear if he still decided to interfere after his reasoning for 'helping' was clearly put down?

"AWHHHOOOO!"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when the dreaded howl sounded in the room. They all feared the worst and prepared to flee before they would have to fight for their life which they felt they would surely lose.

"Ah come on! You're right in my ear you big overgrown lug!"

Some were too afraid to turn in the direction of the sound. But they couldn't help but turn to face their fear now that they heard Noah's voice. When they turned around, they were astonished to find the werewolf towering over Noah, but it wasn't doing anything.

'Does that mean he succeeded?
