Chapter 104.Taming The 5th Circle Wyvern

The unnamed wyvern awoke a minute later and immediately roared sensing the various beings around it.

After Jake dismissed the system panel, he couldn't help but smirk. He had thought that it would take serious sacrifices to tame this monster.

However, he realized that all three mental attributes, Will, Intelligence, and Charisma of this wyvern were lower than his.

'And that means I can use [Malefic Enchantment] on it,' he thought and walked forward.

Rwarrrghh!

"You dare chain me?!"

The wyvern's roar was less impressive than a dragon's but it still made a shock wave. The monster was using [Sonic Roar].

However, because of the creature's injury, it couldn't use the skill's full power. Jake was unfazed.

Irene stepped to the side as he came before the chained monster which was struggling.

He touched its head. The wyvern, which was preparing a Frost Breath, suddenly stopped when Jake used [Malefic Enchantment] on it.

At first, this unnamed creature was confused as to why it was attacking the demon. Then when Jake sent fake memories into its mind, the wyvern began believing that this demon had always taken care of it since it was an egg.

"Remove the chains," Jake told Irene.

However, she hesitated. A 5th Circle monster, even in an injured state, was too dangerous. She couldn't just let it be free, could she?

"Irene." Jake looked at her. "I said remove them."

"Yes, master," the elf witch replied.

She began chanting and sent mana to the magical chains. They had pierced through the wyvern's already damaged wings, and were coiled around its two legs as well as its arms.

When Irene chanted, these black metallic chains moved. The wyvern grunted in pain as it was finally unchained.

"How did this happen to you, Droge?" Jake asked as if he knew this monster for a long time.

There was a rare expression of concern on his face which confused everyone here. They didn't know that he had used Malefic Enchantment.

"Master?" Lena blinked and flew behind him. She was kind of unhappy that he didn't look at her with this soft expression.

"I…" The wyvern spoke. It was capable of speaking human languages.

"Who am I?"

"You are Droge, my companion. I have come to save you." Jake hovered over the creature.

Summoning his Black Reaper, he used [Blood Regeneration] on it. At the same time, he called the priestesses on the lower floor.

This confused even Minerva who was expecting Jake to kill the monster and let her make an undead out of it. She would definitely be able to raise an excellent 4th Circle Undead with its bones and flesh.

Jake had considered that option. However, he didn't want the monster to lose its rank and powers.

Making it an undead was the sure way to fully control it, but that would only weaken it. Also, Jake wanted to control it himself, why would he let Minerva have it?

Due to his 4th Circle rank, he was unable to degenerate the wyvern which was at the 5th Circle. He could injure it badly to the point it barely lived, but Jake didn't have much confidence in his skill working.

The 5th Circle was immensely higher than the 4th. The case here wasn't the same as with his Dark Knight.

What he could do was use his superior mental attributes to control it indirectly. There was a risk, of course. But this was the most feasible way to use and retain its full power.

Jake used all three chances of his Blood Regeneration on this wyvern, but it was still not enough to heal it. With his mental suggestions and fake memories sent to its mind, the wyvern began accepting Jake as his companion.

The immediate kindness Jake showed also worked in his favor.

He had taken the safe path here, instead of making it believe he was its master. That could have backfired as this monster was proud of its strength.

Even then, the wyvern's lower mental attributes made it too easy for Jake to fool it. It was actually cleverer than a normal human. But in front of Jake whose intelligence was over 400, the monster was tricked easily.

"I am Jake, you may call me that," he said and continued, "This dungeon is your home from now on. You can stay in any floor but not the last one."

"Okay." The wyvern flapped its wings and flew higher. Jake had erased and replaced most of its memories. That took him some time but it was worth the effort.

"How did you…" Minerva, Lena, and Irene were speechless.

Even the usually apathetic Ash was gaping. That creature… how was it so tame?

"It really feels dangerous when a 5th Circle monster is flying around," Jake muttered, looking at the silver wyvern circling above him.

At this moment, the pregnant twin priestesses and Perry came. Jake blew a whistle and the wyvern descended. They all backed away in terror, but when their master assured them that it wouldn't attack, they looked incredulously at him.

His words soon proved to be true, and the priestesses couldn't help but blink rapidly.

"Heal it." Jake said. They were better at this job than him or anyone else here.

…

Some time later, Droge, the wyvern which Jake had named on spot, was fully healed. Numa, Mary, and Perry were tired. It wasn't easy to heal the injuries of a 5th Circle monster.

Jake had stayed with them all this while, as they were afraid of a sudden attack. He also wanted to make sure everything went smoothly.

"Go rest now," he said. The pregnant twins shouldn't be worked too much.

"Is it the same ability you had when you attacked my mind?" Minerva was curious. She had a good guess, but she was a bit off the mark.

He didn't admit nor refuse it, letting her think whatever she wanted. He would rather not say what abilities he had.

p "I am hungry, Jake!" The monster spoke at this moment, its voice booming throughout the floor.

Jake knew that wyverns had huge appetites. This one, especially after being starved for so long, wanted to eat something immediately. Unlike other monsters, it couldn't live on mana alone.

"Go outside and find some monsters. Don't eat those here," Jake said from below.

"Why?"

Lena covered her ears, hearing it. This wyvern's normal speech sounded like roars to her.

Jake patted her and replied to the flying monster.

"The ones here aren't tasty, Droge. You know, this dungeon is a special area. It makes the creatures here unedible for you. Ever heard of ecosystems?

Of course, Jake was spouting bullshit here. A person who doesn't have much knowledge in dungeons would be fooled by it. And this dumb monster believed him in a heartbeat.

As it flew to the higher floors, Jake told it come back quickly and not attack humans.

Afterwards, he went to the 66th floor with Minerva and Lena. Irene had already went to prepare the map of Grimbow kingdom.

In the capital, the discussion of nobles and royals was ongoing. Here, a different discussion was going to happen, one about conquering the Karsuda Province.
