Haaaaaaaah!
Ren screamed with all his strength, as much as his throat could. He wanted as many eagles as possible to concentrate on him. Things would get easier, especially if Alpha got angry with him.
He yelled twice more to draw the alpha's attention to him so he wouldn't touch the other five children. But anyway, the alpha didn't take his eyes off Ren. Unlike the other simple children, he sensed real danger from Ren.
Ren couldn't understand why. Although the other five had hunted a lot of animals in the last month, they didn't have the scent of death on the Rhine. But Ren didn't care because it worked for him.
He took a step forward and dropped the first bomb in his right hand. He waited two seconds and popped another one. And then two more.
Just two seconds apart, all four bombs had been dropped on small simple eagles on all four sides of Alpha. There were only a few rank four eagles in the flock of eagles, all of them at the second or third rank.
In the crowd, Ren saw at least half of the more than fifty eagles wounded and screaming. And that's when he started running. He didn't want to wait for the eagle to fully enter battle mode when he jumped with all his might. He drew flames from his own hands, and with all the strength his fourth rank dantian allowed, he wrapped his arms in huge fires.
As the eagle's eyes turned even more blood-red, he looked more like a phoenix with a fiery crown on his head than an eagle, as all the flames on his wings gathered on his head. It had a very flashy battle mode.
Each alpha above a certain level has its own battle mode. This was the eagle's battle mode flames, while some had extra strength or speed when entering this mode.
As the smile on Ren's face grew, he began to take deep breaths as if he was in combat mode. He was barely holding himself in place. The heat in his blood caused the flames in both of his hands to begin swirling. He waited in front of the eagle without fear. At that moment, the five members of his group stared at Ren with their mouths open, fearlessly standing in front of the eagle. But the person they saw was not like the child with whom they laughed and had fun every day. This person looked stronger, scary, and warlike.
Alpha diverted his attention from Eren as the eagles screamed as the flames leaped over the nests with the cubs. His head, enveloped in huge flames, looked anxiously into the nest to the side. But Ren was not one to miss such an opportunity. He threw the firestorm in his right hand straight into the eagle's body.
Both a storm and a serpent-like fire rushed ruthlessly.
In the past, he would not use this technique and rely on his bombs. But at that moment, when he saw the flames in the eagle's body, he changed all the plans in his mind. He longed to defeat this eagle with his own flames.
Realizing at the last moment, the eagle lost most of its vortex power from Ren's fire with a small flick of its wings. But Ren struck a direct blow, just as he wanted, with a second burst of flames, seconds apart.
Cyaaaaaaaak..!
The eagle's mighty body was covered in blood with major cuts and burns. Involuntary cries were heard from the animal's mouth. Shaking his head with hatred in his eyes, he also used the only move he had in battle mode. The eagle's mouth opened as all the fires gathered in his head faded. He started spewing flames from his mouth with a proud neck movement, ignoring his frail body covered in blood.
Ren didn't let the two new flamestorms that he still held in both hands change shape and spin. He now held in his hand a simple collection of flames like an eagle's.
He too raised both hands in response to the flames being sprayed on him. There was no worry, fear, or anger on his face. He was smiling...
One is an Alpha Eagle who has been alive for a few years... the other is a wizard who is still a child...
The person using the two elements of fire, the two baby creatures, blasted each other with all their strength and energy.
The flames in the eagle's head were dwindling very quickly, and it was clear that the flames in its mouth would end in a few seconds. But Ren had also used up most of the energy in his dantian while spewing fire like this. With each passing second, Ren's dantian was getting closer and closer to dry.
Still, with a small movement of his mouth, Ren swallowed a crystal he was holding between his teeth, giving him a little energy boost to his stomach.
It wasn't a huge advantage since he didn't whirl in his stomach unless he started meditating. Still, at that moment, he wanted to bring Alpha to his knees. He gratefully began to use the lemon candy-flavored crystal that descended from his throat, as even a small help could have a great effect.
A few seconds later, the anger in the eagle's eyes faded as the crown-shaped flames on his head completely disappeared. The blood in his body had flowed a little before, but now it had accelerated several times.
Alpha eventually lost to Ren.
Ren was secretly glad that the alpha opposite him wasn't the type that fought physical forces. If he had been an animal fighting with his body rather than flames, Ren would have fought with pole bombs and attacked from afar rather than face-to-face. But at that time, it would have been very difficult to keep the alpha alive without killing it.
Or if this Alpha were a magical creature rather than an animal, things would be even worse. The wolf that Ren had killed earlier was also an animal species in this eagle. It wasn't a magical creature or a mutant monster. Ren has been lucky in such matters for now.
He took a few steps closer to the Eagle, who was making small cries as his head lowered. He saw that there was still a fiery gleam in the eagle's eyes. He was an alpha who would have killed himself rather than lowered his head if he had even a little bit of energy left. He was an Alpha who carried the strongest genes of his kind and was born with the power to dominate his kind!
Ren hurriedly sat down on the ground. He looked around at the flock of eagles, afraid to move. Most uninjured eagles surrounded nests with young. He meditated on the Rhine in front of the alpha lying on the ground and groaning. After closing his eyes for a few seconds, when he opened them again, he was filled with energy again. The whirlpool in his belly energized his dantian every second, and Ren returned to his maximum strength as he had no injuries.
All five of the children, holding the exits above and the eagles trying to escape, celebrated the event happily by dancing and shouting. But none of them knew what Ren did next. It was the only technique Ren hadn't taught them anyway.
*Taming (Automatically at the fourth level in technique since Ren is at witchcraft level 4)
: Provides a simple taming that affects the will of animals and makes them obey the user. The level of the skill directly determines the level of the animal that can be tamed.
Ren joined both of his hands with the palms slightly empty, and began to accumulate a glowing pure energy within him. At the end of the half-minute event, there was a small symbol of energy on the palm. It was a small piece of solid energy that shimmered a little, glowing with a beautiful light. But even though its shape was tried to resemble a certain symbol, it looked bad. It was more funny than impressive.
Ren sighed, ashamed that he still couldn't form the symbol he had in mind. After scattering the symbol in his hand and trying for a few more minutes, the perfect symbol finally appeared as he wanted.
It looked like an inverted V sign. It was a symbol with the sharp side facing upwards.
He pushed the shaped energy fragment in his hand towards the eagle's head, and the piece of energy flew up to reach the alpha's head. As its brightness increased, the white light turned red as soon as it came into contact with the eagle.
Like a mischievous little worm, it suddenly entered the Eagle's head. A few seconds later, Ren's symbol appeared in the alpha's upturned eyes. Although it disappeared in a matter of seconds, Ren was grateful that this alpha was, as he had guessed, a very young cub. Because the alpha could not bow down to him and, with a little willpower, could shatter Ren's symbol. And if the technique were broken, this technique consisting of pure energy would not tame the alpha, on the contrary, it would give the animal pure power.
And Ren would have to fight again.
Those who used the way of taming already used the same pure energy to heal their animals. It was a profession that required very fine calculations and needed outside help. It wasn't an impromptu skill like Ren is doing now.
But in the end, nothing bad happened. The eagle began to visibly heal with the energy of Ren's symbol.
With his body healing faster and faster every second, he lifted his head off the ground and jumped in front of Ren in one go. He had a noble yet somewhat childish expression on his face. Since he was out of battle mode, he was smaller and his body had also lost its redness. He looked a bit bigger and more beautiful than the other eagles. Other than that, the only thing that showed this creature was an alpha was its aura.
Now the only difference from the other eagles in the nest was that it looked a little bigger and more beautiful. But someone looking from afar wouldn't know directly that he was an alpha.
Anyone who saw this eagle from afar would compare it to other eagles and would not be able to tell the difference.
Ren laughed with delight at the fact that the first animal he had tamed was an Alpha of a flying kind, and his eyes were intent on continuing with his plan.
He started to form a new symbol in his hand, as no eagle would escape, while he was telling the five people waiting on the sides to come to him.
None of them had time to rest that day. There were many eagles waiting to be tamed. And they only had one day before the school's hunter groups arrived.
