257 Who is the Demon Lord? (2/2)

The wolf leader was shocked by Yale's question, but he didn't hesitate in answering him.

”Only someone as dreadful and powerful as you, the big brother of our goddess, is worthy of being called our Demon Lord.”

That time, the one who was shocked was Yale.

”Since when I am a Demon Lord?”

Yale somehow managed to avoid saying those words in a loud voice and only said them in his mind.

”That aura and killing intent Demon Lord showed to us in the previous battle was impressive. You are without any doubt the Demon Lord of all wolves.”

The wolf leader was also very respectful towards Yale, but there was a clear trace of fear in his voice, like if he thought that the Demon Lord was testing him with that question.

Part of the reason for such fear was the killing intent and the bloodline Yale had used previously, but there was another factor that even the wolves weren't aware.

The beasts usually had better instincts than the ones humans had, so they unconsciously felt that Yale was the most unfathomable person they had met in their lives.

That was the effect of Yale being a reincarnated expert plus the fact he had some divine bloodlines and Condensed Essences.

In the end, those wolves were loyal to both Wyba and Yale, but the reasons they had were completely different.

Those wolfs didn't want to go against Wyba's orders because they worshiped her as their goddess. On the other hand, they didn't dare to make Yale angry by disobeying him or acting in any way that could anger him.

Yale was truly speechless in that situation; he could understand that Wyba was called a goddess by those wolfs, but he never expected to be considered as a Demon Lord by them. Of course, for those wolves, a Demon Lord was great existence and not something evil that they wanted to defeat like usually happened in the books Yale had read.

”Demon Lord. I like how it sounds. That is right; I am your Demon Lord! I will let my gentle little sister be in charge of you, but if something happens to her...”

Yale decided to use that identity to increase his control towards those beasts, so he smiled when finishing his sentence.

In a normal situation that would have been considered a warm smile, but for those wolfs it was a completely devilish smile. Their instincts told them that if Wyba were to suffer, their fate would be worse than death.

”Big bro, don't be mean with my pets, they are all well-behaved. Raise your right paw if you are a good guy or a good girl!”

When Wyba said that all the wolves raised their right paws, the leader included.

At that moment, Yale wanted to laugh because Wyba had completely tamed those wolves; they were indeed Wyba's pets.

”We are honored that our goddess considers us her pets and not just disposable pawns. However, even if our goddess wants to use us as pawns, please do it, we will throw away our lives for the sake of our goddess.”

Yale felt really amusing hearing someone speak those words. Of course, it was only because he could understand the wolf language and beasts aren't like humans who would never consider saying those words willingly.

Yale really wondered if the effects of a divine beast were that high or great part of that devotion was Wyba's natural cuteness.

”Wyba, let's go. We still need to save Ange. Some members of the Larken Clan will be in charge of feeding your pets.”

Wyba nodded, and before Yale could say anything else, she jumped on Yale's back.

”Today you seem determined to avoid walking. Very well, it has been a long time since I carried you on my back. However, I plan to run, so be careful.”
