Tensura: The Epic Tale of Rimuru Tempest!

Chapter 43: Taming the Direwolves.

Well, now we are here outside the goblin village, looking over the direwolves in front of us.

Some things have happened since this afternoon. After taking the goblins under my protection, I healed all of their injured men and handled other matters that were not that important.

"Aaooooooooooo!" a direwolf howled.

Hm... They are here, huh? Well, I guess, it's time for the third step

My other variant killed Ranga's father, but here I can stop him without killing him.

So, should I save him or just kill him?

Nah... who cares. I'll just kill him and make the others submit. He's not going to be any use to me anyway. Yeah, I'll just do that.

As I am thinking this, Ciel and I arrive in front of the village entrance where the direwolves are gathered to attack.

Well, time to kill the alpha wolf.

"Step away, humans, or else we will have to kill you!" the leader wolf said.

"Kill, huh? Aren't you the arrogant bastard," I replied casually, not even looking at him.

I am not looking at the alpha wolf because I am currently focused on my future personal wolf, or should I say, cute puppy.

Even from here, his fur looks so fluffy. I just want to grab him and cuddle him.

Ciel is also looking in the same direction. I guess we both have the same thoughts.

"So, you have chosen your death, huh? Prepare yourself!" the leader wolf said, charging towards us in hopes of killing us.

Too bad for this guy. How should I kill him? Should I just cut off his head? Or should I erase his concept? Or maybe give him to [Azathoth] so he can torture him?

Nah... I'll just kill him. [Azathoth]'s torture would be too much for him; even Guy can't handle that kind of torture.

"Father, nooo!!" Ranga yelled to his father.

I guess he must have sensed danger.

"Sorry, Ranga, but your father has to die. So, how should I kill him?.... I know, I will just cut him into two pieces."

And there we go, clean and perfect.

I just cut that wolf into two pieces without even moving.

What I just did is manipulate the information particles in the surroundings. Through these information particles, I indirectly manipulated the wind to blow in a specific direction towards that wolf, ensuring it was cut into two parts. The result is the wolf being cleanly sliced into two perfect halves.

Now, it's time for the main event.

"If you don't choose one of the options I'm about to give you, then you'll be next. So choose carefully. Your choices are: first, submit to me and become my subordinates; and second, don't submit and die. Choose now, because I don't have much time," I declared to them.

Before I gave them their options, I opened my draconic wings because it looks cool. I can bet that now I am downright looking evil. Yep, an act befitting a Demon Lord.

So cool!!! I always wanted to try this!!!

"You look so cool there, Master!!!" Ciel said, looking at me with stars in her eyes.

"I know, right? I always wanted to try this," I replied to her.

Well, let's get back at the direwolves.

"Speak!" I said in a dominant voice while shifting my focus to the direwolves.

It seemed like they discussed something among themselves using [Thought Communication], which is their intrinsic skill. After their brief discussion, my future puppy came forward and started to speak.
