Tamer of Cosmic Beasts

Everyone was overjoyed after seeing the dead body of Black Dragon. All of them gathered around Akash as he called for his Ancestor Law Enforcement including Haji Tea along with the rest of the Tea and Seth families. The duo of beastmen and the orc arrived as well, Akash took a glimpse at the whole battlefield.

Every spot was covered with the blood and bodies of dead beasts, One-Eyed Wolf arrived at the mountain and stood a little way away from Red Mamba and his people.

Throughout the fight, the wolf had lost around 17000 beasts, leaving only 13000 alive and on the side of Black Dragon, only 2500 dragons survived thanks to their surrender. Akash looked at the two leading beasts on the mountain and asked.

"Do any of you mind if I take all these dead bodies? I was the one who killed Black Dragon, after all."

Red Mamba was the first to reply.

"I don't mind at all, they are all yours."

Akash then looked at the second leader, One-Eyed Wolf, who replied.

"Can you spare the beasts that fought on my side?"

Akash retorted.

"No, I'm sorry."

The wolf flinched.

"I'm sorry as well, but I cannot let you take their bodies."

"Alright then, prepare for another war."

Akash stated dominantly.

Red Mamba didn't wait before he turned his face towards One-Eyed Wolf and hissed. The wolf was not shocked, he clearly saw how this snake had betrayed Black Dragon and sided with Akash. He inquired.

"If you had already decided on your actions from the onset, why did you ask us?"

Akash replied.

"I was giving you face in front of your people."

"I saved you from Red Mamba by sending my own army and yet this is how you want to repay me?"

Said the wolf

Red Mamba chuckled.

"Indeed, ask that moose if you want proof. I was about to kill him, but this young man saved him."

The wolf looked at Shine Moose and the later nodded, after which Akash continued after Red Mamba's words.

"As for your help, I never needed it. That's why I sent all of them back before they could fully climb the mountain, you didn't realize that in the heat of war. But, to show my gratitude, I also sent my own people to help you after Mamba had surrendered"

One-Eyed Wolf was silently staring at Akash, he wanted to fight for the bodies of his brethren but after witnessing the fight between Akash and Black Dragon, he could only feel helplessness.

Akash carried on.

"Answer me one question honestly, would you have been able to win against both the dragon and the snake's army, if we were not here? You should be grateful rather than demanding."

Wolf replied in a voice filled with pain.

"I understand but... I just wanted to give them a formal burial…"

"Oh, don't worry about it, I will just take their cores and other useful body parts. I am in dire need of those, their remaining bodies will be yours to take."

Happiness appeared on One-Eyed Wolf's face

"If that is so, then I have no problems. Thank you very much!"

By the time things were settled, it was already night. The war had lasted longer than half a day. Akash beckoned his whole force to gather.

"Help the injured beasts, then take a nap. Tomorrow as the sun rises, we will collect the cores and any other precious parts of the dead beasts."

The Tea family started healing the beasts who were on the brink of death first, while Akash flew towards the open field. He gestured to the two beasts to follow him and looked to his side, where his people were.

"Haji, Daan, Sacra and Sohrab, the four of you will follow me."

The called ones slowly followed the back of Akash. They went quite far away before Akash sat down on a huge boulder, facing the two beasts while the four vassals stood beside the boulder. Akash started the talk

"My name is King Akash Tagar, I've come here to rule this entire planet and remove those who will oppose me."

Both the wolf and the snake didn't give any expression before the former replied.

"Every second beast and tamer in these lands claimed to rule the entire planet, before dying a painful death. Even though you have extraordinary powers, those empires and kingdom are far more powerful than our dukedoms."

Akash sent a message via the System to the four to take out their weapons, which they did without question.

"Duran, Awaken!"

"Hadda, Awaken!"

"Coronella, Awaken!"

"Jeeth, Awaken!"

After the 4 of them were done, Akash continued.

"You saw these weapons from far, check them and tell me if there is anyone here with weapons of such high caliber."

The two beasts' eyes widened, they could sense the ferocity and bloodthirst coming from these weapons, they couldn't fathom their full potential.

"King Akash Tagar, I will follow you with my beasts."

Red Mamba declared.

"You can continue from where we left off, why did you surrender when you love battles? Is it because you were afraid of my healing powers?"

Akash asked Red Mamba, who replied.

"Hmm, afraid wouldn't be correct word in this case."

"Oh, then what would?"

Akash inquired.

"Helpless."

Akash silently looked at Mamba with an expressionless face as Mamba continued.

"I'm not sure I could win against that evolved form of Black Dragon, but you defeated him in a manner no one would have even considered possible.

What I saw in the eyes of the dragon was not anger, instead it was sheer helplessness and disappointment. After witnessing it, it only strengthened my resolve in surrendering to you. There is a thin line between bravery and lunacy."

"I agree."

One-Eyed Wolf supported Mamba then looked at Akash and said his piece.

"Thank you once again for helping us, we came here resolved to die but your interference turned the tide."

He looked at Red Mamba and thanked him as well.

"I would like to thank you too, for not participating in the battle."

Red Mamba replied.

"I don't deserve your thanks, I only stopped because of this man over here. You are fearless, I'll give you that, but you are still nothing in front of me. I had come here with the intent to fully destroy you but instead, I met this man. Now, I've gained far more than I could've even imagined prior and for that I'd like to thank…"

Akash interrupted.

"No need! Instead, I'd like you to tell me which of you want to take the seat of Black Dragon.
