Chapter 51: Getting a new Pet.

Albert after being saved looked at Cloe's body and a sense of relief washed over him, "Thank the Gods.." Cloe was still breathing, He quickly crawled towards her and gave her a healing potion.

The potion showed its effects and the bleeding quickly stopped, although her missing arm was not regenerated, the wound patched itself and she was happy being alive.

Gojo glanced at them.

Albert slowly got to his feet as he also gulped down a lesser healing potion, Though his wounds were healed, he was still exhausted from the intense battle.

"Thanks for yer aid, sir. I'm Albert, an adventurer in service of Marquis Raeven," he said with a weary smile.

"Me companion and I were tasked with lookin' into the disappearances round these parts. We didn't expect to run into creatures as strong as these Monster wolves."

He glanced over at Cloe, who was still catching her breath. "It seems our skills weren't enough to take on such A-rank monsters by ourselves. You have our gratitude for savin' us."

Gojo nodded calmly. "Rest for now. Those were no ordinary wolves. You both fought bravely." He turned to survey the village, taking in the fearful yet relieved faces of the villagers.

Albert glancing over the bowing Wolfs asked, "What will ya do with 'em, Sir?"

"Umm... let's see.."

Gojo turned to the remaining wolves with a fearsome grin. "Your alpha is dead. Now who wants to join him?"

The pack trembled at his words, terror etched on their furry faces. Such mighty beasts brought low by a single man.

A large wolf with unusual blue and white fur stepped forward. The villagers gasped, never having seen its kind before. It locked eyes with Gojo and a strange sensation passed through his mind.

'We surrender', a voice echoed in Gojo's head. 'Spare our lives and we will trouble your village no more.'

Gojo chuckled at the telepathic contact. "How boring. I think you all need a proper way to determine the new pack leader."

He turned to the quivering mass of wolves. "Fight amongst yourselves. Only the last one standing will be spared. The rest..." He trailed off meaningfully.

The wolves yelped and whined, not wanting to battle their own. But they knew disobeying was a death sentence.

Gojo sat back and watched with amusement as the wolves turned on each other in a vicious melee.

The wolves circled one another warily, hackles raised. Gojo's command had turned them into mortal enemies in an instant.

The biggest Blue furred wolf struck first, lunging at a smaller female. She screeched as its jaws closed around her throat, thrashing violently until she went still.

Two more attacked the killer in vengeance for their packmate. Fur and blood flew as they tore into its flesh. But the blue one sunk its teeth into one's flank, ripping out a chunk.

Chaos erupted as the beasts turned on each other in a whirlwind of fangs and claws. Yelps and howls of agony filled the forest as wounds were opened everywhere.

The blue wolf fought valiantly but was badly outnumbered. It suffered gashes across its side from a long-fanged assailant. Spitting angrily, it slashed the attacker's muzzle open to the bone.

But more wounds added up on the blue wolf's battered form. It panted heavily, stained in gore as its opponents closed in for the kill. With a great leap, it sank its jaws into the jugular of the remaining lone wolf, wrestling it to the ground.

The wolf snapped furiously but was no match for the blue wolf's savage strength. With a sickening crunch, it went limp. But the victor could barely stand, legs shaking with exhaustion.

That's when the last wolf lunged—the first killer, now nearly untouched. It bowled the blue wolf over, crunching down on its throat.

Albert stood trembling behind Gojo, clutching Cloe close to shield her from the grisly scene unfolding before them.

Though an experienced adventurer, he had never witnessed such brutality.

"Stop this madness!" Albert cried out desperately. "Dere ain't no honor in fo'cin' beasts ta slaughter each otha just fa entertainment!"

Cloe buried her face in Albert's armor, too frightened to watch. The other villagers stood frozen in horror, unable to look away from the vicious bloodsport.

*Grrrrrrrrrr*

Somehow the blue wolf found the will to fight on.

With a roar, it twisted and sank its fangs into the enemy's eye sockets. It howled, thrashing madly as the blue wolf clung on with the last of its tenacity.

With a final lunge, it tore the enemy's throat open, warm blood pulsating over its muzzle.

*Awoooo*

 He roared triumphantly.

Its fur was matted with gore, standing triumphant over the mound of torn corpses.

But Albert was far more afraid now of the man who had compelled this butchery. Gojo's gleeful demeanor as he watched the wolves tear each other apart sent a chill down his spine.

{If the other party submits, the Host can make a heavenly blood pact....}

{The Host will be able to share his techniques and also heal it using Reversed Cursed technique....}

Gojo calmly strode towards the hulking blue wolf, ignoring Albert's urgent pleas. The beast lay panting heavily, its fur matted with blood from countless wounds.

As Gojo approached, the wolf snapped weakly in warning, but lacked the strength for further aggression. Gojo knelt beside it and placed a gentle hand upon its head.

"Do you wish to live, mighty wolf?" Gojo asked quietly, gazing into its weary eyes. The wolf let out a low growl of assent.

Reaching out with his mind, Gojo communed with the beast. "Then I offer you a pact. Swear your loyalty to me alone, and I shall heal you"

A screen appeared in front of Gojo, 

{The Wolf wants to submit.... Pact placing successful..}

{Congratulations to the Host for getting a pet!}

"A name huh... Lets call you Lightning McBlue.." Gojo said with a chuckle.

Crimson light burst forth from Gojo's palm, enveloping the wolf's tattered form. Albert and the villagers watched in amazement as flesh and fur knitted back together before their eyes, leaving not a scar.

When the light faded, the wolf sprang up with a howl, good as new. It trotted over to Gojo and sat obediently at his side, regarding him now as its new master.

Gojo smiled faintly, pleased with his new pet. But Albert could not help fearing what other violent abilities this man might command and swore to not offend him till he reaches E-Rantel and met his team.
