Bzzz!

Legolas teleported directly from the Void Dimension to the Beast Plane.

As he grew as a Summoner, the dimensions that Legolas had access to also grew. From just the Beast Plane, he could now also access the Elemental plane, the Spirit plane, and the Void Dimension which increased his options.

This time, he left to the Beast Plane for a specific reason.

As soon as he passed through the rainbow bridge, on setting his sights on this world with violet clouds again, Legolas felt like it had been years since he came here. ‘Clown’s crazy shenanigans really drained me a lot’.

Due to not planting an anchor ahead of time, he was not able to arrive at his intended destination immediately, he took the rest journey on foot.

.....

In no time, Legolas arrived at his destination.

Unlike the last time that Legolas visited here, the Steep Hills already changed a lot. The layout was still the same, it was the sheer number of wolves here that changed, it was like from an army, it turned into a kingdom of wolves.

More than ten thousand wolves were now in Akela’s territory!

This was a crazy amount of mobilizable power.

As he looked at all the wolves, Legolas acknowledged him. ‘Without a doubt, though his talent is not up there, his hard work is the best’.

Since receiving his master’s mandate to build a huge army that can help him in battles, Akela had been focused on this task like it meant the life to him.

Despite the crazy number of wolves, it did not take Legolas long to see him.

“Awoo!”

“Awoo!”

On top of the rock which already became Akela’s throne, 4 energetic young wolf pups howled excitedly as they circled round their father.

In recent times, after becoming a Grade C Emperor Wolf, Akela’s reputation in the Steep Hills increased to the maximum. In just a matter of days, thousands of more wolves joined his pack, rapidly increasing his numbers.

After becoming a Grade C Wolf, the whole of the Steep Hills became his turf.

To most of the wolves, he was the high and mighty Emperor Wolf but here he was playing with his young pups.

Akela despite thinking of much more important matters indulged his energetic pups as he gave the time to play with them.

This was until the youngest of the pups crossed a line.

Climbing on top his father’s head, this young wolf grinned before biting at his father’s ear. Akela was not injured but nonetheless, he was annoyed by this as he finally moved, raising his hand to swat away the energetic pup.

The young wolf was surprisingly quick, it jumped away before the paw could hit. Rogue 1 roared in crazy laughter at the sight.

“Seiko will definitely become a great hunter like her father”.

“See how agile she has become”.

Bone sneered. “Shameless…, stop fawning over the pup, she will never like you no matter how much you fawn over her”.

Rogue 1 scowled and growled aggressively at the Spilodon.

Unlike the 2 rivals, Rogue 2 and Rogue 3 were much more docile, they simply admired the energy of the young wolves.

“Anton and Grey are growing far faster than the others, as the males, they’re already the strongest in terms of just combat strength by a margin”.

“They grow so fast”. Both Direwolves became dreamy.

“Anton will definitely be the next Emperor”. Rogue 2 was excited.

“Cypress is more like his mother though, despite her young age, she already show signs of being the first to develop an affinity”. Rogue 3 continued.

“You think she’ll develop the same affinity as the Alpha Queen?”

As they blabbered on about her pups, the majestic Alpha Female watched them with a proud smile on her face. After becoming a mother, Nymeria became exposed to more facets of life as a wolf and the Alpha Queen of an Emperor.

Like Akela hoped before going to war, when he returned, he returned to see his mighty pups waiting for him.

Watching their father play and discipline them when they go overboard caused a warm feeling to well inside this powerful wolf.

‘The Steep Hills is welcoming a new era’.

‘Brother, I wish you never fell to the dark side…, I wish you were here to witness it as Akela leads us to greatness’. She felt slightly sad.

Over the months, the 3 Rogue brothers and Bone already became Akela’s most trusted subordinates, Warg was now the Commander of Akela’s growing wolf army. Despite the many wolves, wolves were not the only ones on top the rock.

Lucky came closer. “Akela, come see the final draft of the plan”.

The mighty Emperor Wolf finally left his energetic pups.

Since coming back from her inheritance journey, everything happened so fast, Lucky could barely contribute before it all ended. The opponents that they faced were too powerful for her to contribute as much as she liked.

Her inability to contribute much in the previous war presented a reality to Lucky that she didn’t expect to see.

‘Damn, despite becoming a Grade C Fox, I’m still this insignificant?’

Not just her, but Akela also felt the same way. In the previous battle, Legolas relied more on the powers of his subclass than he relied on his beasts.

To them, this was unacceptable and was why Lucky followed Akela back to the beast plane, Lucky’s Battle Commander already provided a way for them.

They were determined to regain their relevance.

‘To contribute more, the best and easiest way is to increase our high-level combat power, even more now that the humans have so few Grade C powerhouses left to vend off the coming war’.

‘We need to make Akela a true Emperor and increase his reach’. Redmane’s eyes glowed with ambition and intelligence as he spoke.

‘If he has a few Grade C Wolves as his subordinates, everything will be easier’.

With that logic, Redmane took helm of the planning and in a few days’ time, he came up with a plan to target a rival Wolf Kingdom.

“Our target is Wolf Warlord Yukon”.

As Akela looked through the final draft of the plan, he suddenly paused as he felt a familiar presence arrive in his territory. On turning to look, he bowed.

“Master”.

On turning to look, Lucky snorted before pouting. “Hmph!”

Legolas laughed. “Hey! What’s the matter? What did I do?”

“She feels neglected”. Akela said seriously.

“…”

This time, even Lucky was taken aback.

Knowing fully well how much he had neglected his beasts after the battle of Hellfire Mountains due to everything that cropped up, Legolas tried his best to joke and laugh it off as he created many distracting words.

This was not too hard an endeavor since literally everything changed. Since his last time coming here, the Steep Hills already changed a lot.

Despite all the changes, in the end, what succeeded in distracting the others was his instant connection with Akela’s cute pups.

“Seiko, Anton, Grey, and Cypress huh? Such cute fellows”. He grinned as he rubbed the fur of the 4 wolf pups.

Seiko looked much like his father with the white fur that was mixed with black hair and pointed ears.

Anton and Grey looked more like typical wolves with their yellow and white fur, they were both bigger than their 2 little sisters.

As for Cypress, this pup was the most unique of the family. With black fur mixed with white and blue colorful hair, she looked like a mythical wolf. Even at this young age, she already learned to control mana.

Legolas was curious. ‘She seems special, is this mutation connected to me?’

Legolas didn’t know how this worked but his connection to their father also seemed to affect the pups. On seeing him, they developed instant favorability for him as they demanded affection all over.𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Despite celebrating his contracted beast’s success, Legolas could not help but feel weird seeing the pups, Nymeria, and all the wolves.𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

‘Why does it feel like Akela is even more successful than me?’ He shuddered at the thought.

‘Akela has an Alpha female already, he has pups now, and he rules over such a huge Wolf Kingdom as the Emperor…’

‘Ahem…’ Legolas tried to distract himself but Lucky was not allowing it.

Through their connection, she could slightly read his thoughts.

“Go get a girlfriend!”

‘Ouch…, that was direct!’ Legolas felt emotionally attacked.

In the end, that small jibe managed to repair his relationship with his beast pet, Legolas finally asked the inevitable. “So, about your inheritance?”

“I’ve always wanted to know about your adventures”.

“What happened? What sights did you see? Tell me everything”. He was hyped since his intuition told him that it was a prime gist.

.....

Lucky looked at him nonchalantly. “I’ll tell you after you help expand Akela’s territory”.

“Tell me and I’ll help you guys”.

“No, after”.

“…” Legolas was speechless.

‘Lucky has grown even more’. He felt mixed feelings.
