-You attempted to tame a powerful being.

-The target resists taming!

-You have achieved an accomplishment!

-You have gained a Like for achieving the [No Tree Can’t Be Felled with Ten Strikes] accomplishment.

-You have gained ‘1’ Like!

An accomplishment was achieved just by attempting to tame.

‘As expected of a dragon.’

Ditrinir looked bewildered, not understanding the situation.

“…What did you just do?”

At the command to wait, his body suddenly stiffened. Of course, when he exerted force, his body moved again.

But it felt very unsettling.

“What are you? What kind of magic were you trying to cast on me?”

It was so fast he couldn’t even tell if an incantation had been used. Moreover, it didn’t seem like mana had moved at all.

Then was it a superhuman ability? But most superhuman abilities don’t work on him.

There’s a reason he’s called the Dragon Slayer Slayer.

“I’m someone beloved by animals.”

“…What?”

Dumbfounded by the unexpected answer, Ditrinir immediately let out a loud roar.

Dragon Fear.

One roar of a dragon that shakes a vast forest can easily knock out most opponents.

However, Ethan was fine.

Dragon Fear is a mental attack. No matter how powerful a dragon’s roar, it didn’t work on Ethan who was using Immortal Hero’s Breathing.

As Ditrinir’s long roar ended, Ethan instead took a step forward and reached out his hand towards Ditrinir.

“Lie down!”

Once again, Ditrinir’s body flinched.

“What is this, what kind of power are you using?!”

Is it the power of command?

But even command was ultimately a type of magic, so it shouldn’t work on a dragon like himself.

The body of a dragon was able to resist numerous types of magic based on its powerful mana.

“Ditrinir, lie down!”

When Ethan called out his exact name, Ditrinir bared his teeth in anger.

No matter what, he would tear apart and swallow this impudent human!

“I don’t know what power it is, but let’s see if you can use that power when you’re dead!”

Shaaaaa-.

Black flames gathered with Ditrinir’s power.

If he breathed out here, the entire forest could burn down.

But a powerful dragon could perfectly control its breath, and Ditrinir was also able to accurately burn only what he wanted.

Whoooosh-!

Soon, black breath poured down over Ethan’s head.

But Ethan didn’t dodge.

He was concentrating right now.

Kwaaaang-!

Soon Ethan was engulfed by the breath, and Ditrinir watched the scene while catching his breath.

How many seconds had passed?

Ditrinir’s eyes widened as he looked at where Ethan had been standing.

Despite taking a direct hit from the breath, Ethan walked out unscathed.

Ditrinir looked at him as if he couldn’t believe it.

“You didn’t… dodge or block the breath? But you’re fine?”

Ditrinir’s anger began to grow even more.

He had faced countless humans until now. But the human before him was an unknown type he had never experienced before.

The unknown brought fear, and that fear soon turned to anger.

“How dare a human! Try blocking this too! Let’s see if you can still stand after this power!”

In an instant, a black aura burst from Ditrinir’s body. That powerful energy filled the surroundings and rushed towards Ethan at high speed.

“Furious Cloud.”

Ethan reached out his hand again.

“Wait!”

“…Damn it!”

Ditrinir spewed out his anger at the continued taming attempts.

His body was paralyzed again at the human’s words, and he inadvertently swallowed the powerful force he was about to unleash.

“Graaaaaaah!”

The enraged Ditrinir roared once more.

What on earth was the identity of that power that even affected him, a great dragon!

He could no longer suppress his anger. He abandoned any thought of holding back now. He decided to kill that human for certain.

Seeing this, Ethan frowned.

“This is difficult.”

As expected, a dragon is a dragon. Unlike the monsters he had tamed before, it wasn’t easily tamed.

‘I’ve built up quite a bit of proficiency on the way here.’

Well, it might be natural.

No matter how many hundreds of monsters you gather, they’re bound to fall far short against a dragon, the strongest creature.

‘It can’t be easy, of course. It’s a dragon after all, one of the most powerful monsters even in MePan.’

Ethan pondered for a moment. Meanwhile, Ditrinir flew high into the sky.

Ditrinir had also noticed that Ethan had no real intention to fight. He realized that Ethan was just trying to subdue him using some strange power.

‘He’s going to fire the Black Dragon Wave.’

The Black Dragon Wave, Ditrinir’s most powerful destructive technique.

‘But it won’t affect me.’

Currently, Ethan possessed numerous defensive techniques. In particular, among them was Moonlight Defense, one of the best defensive techniques in MePan.

He had already used that Moonlight Defense once to block the earlier breath, so he could block the Black Dragon Wave with Moonlight Defense as well.

‘Indeed, it’s good to have many defensive techniques when fighting boss-level monsters like this.’

Heavy attacks tend to have a delay after use.

But Ethan had many techniques that could nullify those heavy attacks, in addition to Moonlight Defense.

So when Ditrinir made a heavy attack, it was actually an opportunity from Ethan’s perspective.

‘I need to use a different method.’

Even though he had many means to subdue, he had no intention of beating that black dragon with his own hands. That would prevent him from guiding the quest as he wanted.

“Ditrinir! Come down!”

Ethan said this while showing some fresh meat. It was the freshest of the reward snacks he had prepared.

“I’ll give you this! It’s meat that’s good for your body! Moreover, it’s not just ordinary meat!”

This meat was specially made by Ethan. It was meat carefully marinated in expensive decoction, with a taste overwhelmingly superior to ordinary meat.

Of course, it was also very good for the body.

‘The principle is reward after command, but since the commands aren’t working, I’ll have to give the reward first. I can give commands after lowering his guard with snacks.’

Fortunately, Hades’ Beast Taming was designed for various scenarios, so Ethan was fully prepared to deal with such variables.

“What did you say…!?”

When Ethan shouted while waving the meat, Ditrinir finally grasped how the situation was unfolding.

Giving commands and offering something to eat?

Then there was only one answer.

“You damn human… You damn human, how dare you…!”

Ditrinir spewed out his anger like a madman. His black eyes were so bloodshot they turned bright red with rage.

“You came to tame me?! How dare you!”

Ditrinir began to emit an even more powerful force along with his anger.

But that anger was of no use.

Despite Ditrinir unleashing several more attacks afterwards, he couldn’t inflict any notable damage on Ethan.

Rather, his movements were blocked by the verbal commands during attacks.

If Ethan had attacked at that moment, he would have been in great danger. But Ethan didn’t counterattack even once, only shouting verbal commands.

And the reason for this happened to be for taming him.

It was an enormous humiliation.

“Do you really think I’ll eat that meat and follow your orders like a lowly creature… Huh…?”

But Ethan’s Beast Taming was more effective than expected.

As he repeatedly waved the meat, Ditrinir’s gaze changed.

But he was a dragon.

-The target resists taming!

Ethan calmly put the meat away again.

There were a few responses, but as expected of a dragon, it wasn’t a target that could be easily tamed.

“Well, of course. I didn’t think it would be easy.”

If this method didn’t work either, then only the last resort remained.

Even Hades said to use this method only as a last resort, but there was no choice.

“Haaaa.”

Ethan exerted force throughout his body.

Following Immortal Hero’s Breathing, he also used Counter-Radiance, quickly strengthening his entire body.

-Discipline disobedient beasts with the rod.

Hades said this in the video.

-There are no bad beasts in the world that cannot be tamed. There are only pathetic tamers. But since worst-case scenarios are bound to exist, a good tamer must ingrain the hierarchical relationship even if they have to use the rod in unavoidable situations.

“That’s right, where are there bad beasts in the world? It’s just that the person taming the beast is lacking.”

Ethan took a stance and made a big jump.

Then he infused mana into his shoes and spread it wings.

-Using the special effect of Moonforce’s Leather Boots.

Whoosh-!

The large and beautiful Moonforce wings spread out. Ethan instantly flew up using the wings.

Though it was a short activation time of 1 second, it was enough to approach Ditrinir in the sky.

“Since the hide is thick, it probably won’t die.”

Ethan Swordsmanship Third Form

Ten Thousand Thunder Frost Strike

Since the opponent was a dragon, there was no need to hold back.

Ethan used a powerful technique without reservation.

Shaaaaa-!

The two swords crossed and slashed Ditrinir.

Since Ethan had never counterattacked even once until now, Ditrinir was greatly surprised and swung his front claw.

“Ugh!?”

That was a mistake. Ditrinir felt tremendous pain.

“As expected, a dragon is a dragon. To withdraw your claw in that brief moment.”

“This, what is this power?!”

It was a swordsmanship as incomprehensible as that powerful verbal command.

As Ethan said, if he hadn’t withdrawn his claw, it would have been cut off completely.

That wasn’t the only problem. Despite withdrawing his claw, his front leg was frozen solid white. Moreover, that frost was rapidly spreading to his body.

Whoosh-.

Ditrinir’s entire body was engulfed in black flames.

“Black Dragon Body Technique.”

Ditrinir melted the frost trying to harden his entire body with flames and immediately concentrated those flames in his mouth.

“Annihilation Black Dragon Wave.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang-!

With a tremendous roar, a powerful breath erupted from Ditrinir’s mouth.

The breath burned and shattered everything around indiscriminately. Ditrinir could have targeted only Ethan while destroying, but he had already lost his reason.

Whoosh-!

The surroundings were covered in black flames.

After burning everything and barely regaining his senses, Ditrinir slowly descended to the ground.

“This has become troublesome.”

He could no longer sense that human’s mana. It seemed his very existence had been annihilated by that attack just now.

“Who would have thought a human would possess such strong power? Have I become complacent from dealing with only weak humans lately? Humans have grown quite a bit too.”

Ditrinir slowly took a deep breath. The Annihilation Black Dragon Wave he had just used put a great strain on his body.

It was an inevitable backlash for its powerful destructive force.

Ditrinir turned his body and was about to return to his lair for now.

But the dragon’s senses made him turn back for a moment.

“!”

Whoosh-!

Someone was walking out of the black flames.

“Impossible. How could a human, a mere human withstand that power?”

It was Ethan.

Walking out unscathed, the Frost Sword and Heavenly Thunder Sword in Ethan’s hands were shining.

Ethan Swordsmanship Fourth Form

Eternal Frost of Trust

It maximizes the power of lightning from the Heavenly Thunder Sword and the power of frost from the Frost Sword.

On top of that, it mixes Lyuka’s mana to the limit into the swords. It was a killing move that combined the best Ethan could use.

Slash!

With Earth Slide added on top, Ditrinir couldn’t even perceive Ethan slashing him.

Click-.

Ethan shook the blood off the two swords and sheathed them.

‘He shouldn’t die.’

He had controlled his strength to some extent, but it was much more powerful than the 3rd form used earlier.

“Grrrrrrrgh-!”

The massive body of Ditrinir collapsed forward.

Ethan slowly approached Ditrinir.

“That’s right, now you’re finally lying down. Good job.”

Then he opened Ditrinir’s mouth and threw in the meat marinated in decoction.

“Here’s your reward.”

“Grrrrrrr.”

Ditrinir growled lowly. It was a deeply humiliating growl.

-You have succeeded in taming!
