Mike slowly walked toward the Wolf King, sword lowered.
The wolf was lying on the ground, chest rising and falling weakly. Its blue flames were almost gone, leaving only faint sparks around its fur.
Mike knelt beside it.
"Hey… you still alive?"
The Wolf King opened one eye. It was tired, but there was no anger left—only respect.
Mike nodded.
"You fought hard. Harder than most bosses I've seen."
'Kidding you are my first boss like monster' He inwardly thought but didn't showed it on face.
The wolf let out a low rumble, almost like a weak growl, but not hostile. More like it was answering him.
Mike placed his hand on its head.
"Don't worry. I'm not here to finish you off."
A small notification appeared in his vision:
[ Etherfang Wolf King — Subjugation Threshold Reached ]
[ The beast acknowledges your strength. ]
[ You may choose: Kill, Spare, or Form Bond. ]
"Of course I'm here to tame you," Mike said, then activated the Knight-exclusive skill.
[ Knight King Mount ]
