Chapter 559: Chapter : 559 : I Need To Show Off!

The village square had fallen into a deathly silence the moment the maroon maned wolf launched itself at Aiden.

Dust swirled in thick clouds around their charging forms, and the air crackled with raw, predatory fury. She moved like a storm—claws extended to their full length, eyes blazing with murderous intent as she rocketed straight toward him. Her long maroon mane whipped behind her like a banner of war, and every step made the ground tremble beneath her heavy paws.

Aiden stood perfectly still, hands relaxed at his sides, a calm, almost amused smile playing across his lips. The villagers behind their tents watched in stunned disbelief, mothers clutching their children tighter, prayers frozen on their lips.

The maroon-maned wolf was now right in front of him, mere inches away. Her breath came hot and furious, fangs bared in a silent snarl. She swang her claws to deliver the killing blow, her voice a low, venomous growl meant to echo across the square.

"I am gonna kill yo—"

Before the word fully formed, Aiden’s right fist moved with lazy, almost bored precision. It shot upward from below, connecting squarely with the wolf’s stomach in a punch that was not meant to kill but to wound. The impact was thunderous. The sound of bone cracking echoed like a gunshot. The wolf’s eyes widened in pure shock, her mouth opening in a silent, guttural howl of agony. Overwhelming pain exploded through her core, radiating outward in waves that made her entire body convulse. She vomited a spray of dark blood onto the dirt, knees buckling as her vision swam with black spots.

Aiden’s smile never wavered. It deepened into something darker, more dangerous. "Take a nap. I have so much work with you."

The wolf’s legs gave out completely. Her body slumped forward, unconscious before she even hit the ground. Aiden crouched gracefully, placed one large hand gently on her shoulder to lower her into a soft, resting position, and then stood up again as if he had merely stepped on a pebble.

The other four wolves froze at the far edge of the square, staring in horror. The red-maned one’s ears flattened instantly. "N-no one told me he was this strong..."

The malberry-scaled wolf’s voice shook with terror. "W-we have to run... There is no way we can defeat him."

The black-maned wolf added, voice cracking, "Y-yeah... Their is no way we can defeat someone who can defeat her with one punch like it was nothing."

The pink-maned wolf, however, did not retreat. Instead, her golden eyes locked onto Aiden with an expression that bloomed from shock into something far more complex—submissive, almost awed, and strangely, deeply intrigued. She took a single slow step forward, voice trembling but clear. "W-we can’t... She will kill us all if we do."

The three remaining wolves looked at her with faces twisted in equal parts terror and disbelief. The red-maned one whispered, "B-but... We will die if we stay here."

Before anyone could move again, two figures walked up to stand beside Aiden. Eclipsa and Selisha. Selisha’s voice was soft, respectful, yet eager. "Eternal Lord, tell us what to do."

Eclipsa nodded firmly beside her, tail swaying with quiet excitement. "Yeah... Order us, Dark Lord. We are ready to serve."

Aiden chuckled. "No need. I need to show off to the villagers that they can trust me. That they don’t have to be afraid anymore. That I am the new leader they chose."

Both Eclipsa and Selisha smiled with genuine satisfaction, then stepped back to give him space.

Suddenly, Ayani and Lusha spoke from behind him in perfect unison. "Just don’t hurt yourself!"

Aiden turned his head with a warm laugh. "Don’t worry, babes... It will be over in a moment."

He looked back at the four wolves. The bunnies peeking from their tents stared at him in stunned silence, waiting for their new leader to deliver justice. The pressure in the air shifted again with every step he took toward them. The pink-maned leader looked around at her sisters, murmuring, "Girls, do as I told you all, alright?"

The other three wolves nodded with grim determination, their eyes fixed on the human as if they were already accepting the Grim Reaper’s claim on their souls.

Aiden stopped a few paces away, grin widening. "What? Don’t you all gonna attack me like she did? Don’t tell me you’re all scared."

The pink-maned leader’s voice cracked with raw courage. "Girl’s... NOW!"

Aiden stopped mid-step, thinking a coordinated assault was coming. But to everyone’s utter shock—including his own—the four wolves dropped to their bellies in perfect synchronization. They slammed their foreheads to the dirt and began chanting in one voice, trembling but sincere.

"Master...! Have mercy... Please... We’ll always be loyal to you!"

The entire village square erupted into chaos of stunned silence. The mothers froze, mouths open. The children behind them whimpered. Eclipsa’s eyes widened in disbelief. Selisha’s hands flew to her mouth. Aiden himself blinked awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head.

"Wait... really? Like that?" he muttered under his breath. "The readers were thinking about a big fight. I was ready to punch all of you into next day."

The wolves did not stop. Their voices rose louder, filled with desperate honesty. "Please... We’ll do anything! Just have mercy! We surrender! We are yours now!"

Aiden sighed, the sound long and theatrical, but there was a hint of genuine amusement beneath it. He walked forward slowly, knelt coolly in front of them, and looked them over one by one. His mind already raced ahead—how they would look transformed by his transmutation skill, loyal companions forever.

He asked, voice calm yet probing, "Hmm... Tell me. Were you really going to kill that boy?"

The pink-maned leader lifted her head just enough to meet his eyes, her voice thick with shame and respect. "M-master... P-please forgive us... W-we’ll never hurt anyone in this village. Master... We were ordered. But seeing you... seeing how easily you dismissed her... we realized our mistake. She was wrong. You are not prey. You are... everything."

The red-maned wolf added quickly, voice cracking with emotion, "We felt your power. It was like the godddess chose you. We were fools to think we could challenge that."

The malberry-scaled wolf bowed her head lower. "We only wanted to please our Lord. But now we see... you are the true leader. Please, Master, forgive us. We will serve you with everything we have. Our claws, our strength, our loyalty—everything."

The black-maned wolf was openly crying, tears mixing with the dirt on her face. "Please Master... Have mercy on us."

Aiden listened to every word, his expression softening from playful to something deeper. He could feel their sincerity through their submissive posture. These were not ordinary beasts; they were warriors of a proud pack, broken and remade in a single moment by a single punch. He extended one hand.

"Rise, my loyal soldiers," he said, voice warm and commanding. "You are no longer Uldrien wolves in service to a fallen lead. You are my pack now. My family. And I will not waste such fierce loyalty."

One by one, they stood, eyes shining with new purpose. The pink-maned wolf—now smiling through her tears—stepped forward and nuzzled against his leg like an overgrown puppy. "Thank you, Master. We will guard this village with our lives."

The red-maned one added, voice full of relief, "We will hunt any threat that dares to approach this village."

The malberry-scaled wolf laughed shakily, wiping her eyes. "Thank you, Master!"

The black-maned wolf was still sniffling happily. "We will always be loyal."

From behind, Ayako, Mimi, and Nessa had gathered closer. Ayako whispered, "Husband... you handled that perfectly. They’re all yours now."

Selisha and Eclipsa stood proudly beside Aiden, purring softly. Selisha murmured, "They will be excellent tamed beasts, Eternal Lord. Their loyalty is unbreakable now."

Eclipsa nodded. "And they will make great wives."

Suddenly, one by one, the bunny villagers emerged from their tents, trembling but no longer hiding. They prostrated themselves before Aiden in the village square, palms flat against the dirt, voices rising in a wave of genuine applause and heartfelt gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Aiden! For your incredible strength that made them lose all will to fight!"

"Thank you for protecting us! We are now safe under your rule!"

The sound grew louder, mothers with tears of joy in their eyes clapping while children cheered. Aiden and his wives watched the applause in happiness and awe. Selisha smiled warmly, purring softly. Eclipsa’s tail swayed with pride. Ayako, Mimi, and Nessa clapped along, Ayani’s eyes sparkling with love and relief.

Then the protest broke out.

A broken voice cried from the front row, "Kill them! Kill them all! Thet took my parents!"

Another woman wailed beside her, "They took my husband! My family is ruined because of them!"

A third added, voice shaking with grief, "I-I lost my wife because of them! She was so kind... please!"

The villagers’ voices overlapped in a chorus of sorrow, each one pouring out their pain—lost children, broken homes, stolen lives—while they begged Aiden to punish the wolves.

The four Uldrien wolves shivered violently on the ground, bodies trembling with fear and shame, ears pinned flat, tails tucked between their legs. They lowered their heads, unable to meet anyone’s eyes.

Aiden’s wives looked worried. Selisha’s ears drooped. Eclipsa’s eyes narrowed in quiet anger. Ayani, Ayako, Mimi, and Nessa exchanged glances, worry flashing across their faces as they watched their husband face this difficult moment.
