I Can Tame Everything!-Chapter 4: A Cunning Strike
Chapter 4 - A Cunning Strike
Shun... was nowhere to be seen.
Kai thought Shun had run away like a coward and charged at the beast furiously.
Rex followed him from behind.
Kai ran and jumped slamming his body directly onto the hound, trying to injure it using his big body.
The Hound, not expecting such an attack, was just pushed back.
It wasn't enough to injure it, Kai had expected to break its bones with his attack, Yet nothing happened except for a slight bruise.
Grrr...
Kai's eyes widened.
[Progress 60%]
Rex saw this as a chance and took out the same dagger he had used to kill the deer.
He tried to sneak attack the hound after Kai's body slam.
Unfortunately for him, the beast had started feeling uneasy, its alertness at a high point.
Noticing the dagger, the hound took Rex's party seriously.
The beast's horn emitted a white glow, water pouring out of it.
Rex stood beside Kai, waiting for the right moment. "Everyone Stay alert"
He couldn't charge carelessly; the glowing horn could do anything.
He was ready to dodge at any moment.
However, the hound changed its target—from the moving Rex to...
The unconscious Yue.
..!
"Shit" Rex exclaimed clutching his fist he bolted towards the beast, Kai followed behind with a Roar.
[Progress 80%]
The beast's horn shimmered, The water finally solidified into that of sharp water daggers, as the beast focused everything onto—a single attack.
The daggers came to life—vibrating, ready to launch.
Just then...
..?
The hound sensed something coming towards it from above.
[Progress 85%]
Rex's eyes widened in shock.
He saw Shun jumping from a tree and landing on the beast directly, using it as a cushion and, at the same time, smashing into it.
Growl...
"Nice timing, Shun," Rex praised, with relief.
He darted forward, not stopping for a moment, holding his dagger tightly. Kai followed at the same speed.
Shun had injured the beast upon landing on it.
It was currently on the ground, struggling to stand up.
The water dagger it had prepared became lifeless, splashing onto itself after it lost focus.
[Progress 90%]
Kai leaped forward and held the beast in place firmly, not letting it budge with all his might.
Shun, held it from above and had the beast immobilized for a few moments.
Yue was still unconscious from the impact, unaware of the life-threatening attack.
[Progress 95%]
Rex nodded towards both Kai and Shun.
He quickly examined the Hound's body for the weakest part.
Without any delay and second thoughts, he stabbed the beast's neck and removed the dagger, only to stab it again with full force.
"Grrrk!"
It was a ranked beast; he could not show any hesitation or carelessness. He aimed to be thorough.
Hah...This never gets easier, He grumbled.
[Progress 99%...]
"Huh... Taming?" Rex scratched his head. "Right, I asked the system to tame it."
Rex was so engrossed in the fight that he had forgotten he had asked the system to tame it.
Man, I should get used to the system, He sighed in frustration.
Well, I'm not sure if it would obey me after taming it forcefully he speculated.
He and everyone dropped onto the ground after their fight with exhaustion.
The system's voice soon came.
"Oh?" His smile widened. "Yes. Tame it."
As Rex agreed to tame its soul, small shiny particles flowed out from the dead beast's body.
[Progress 5%]
[Progress 100%]
"Wow—That was quick," he raised an eyebrow, surprised by its speed, as he saw an ethereal form taking the same shape as the beast, walking towards him.
Rex narrowed his eyes and commanded it to Hide.
The beast stopped and hid behind a tree.
Rex grinned mischievously Did I just use telepathy and ask it to hide?
He instinctively knew when he tamed the hound's soul that he could communicate with just his
Thoughts.
But he didn't think it would actually work.
"Now, how will I explain to them about this beast?" he pondered rubbing his chin.

"No way... New skill, and taming points?" he mumbled with sparkling eyes and quickly checked its description.
[Tamer's Sanctuary] : A space where entities can be stored to enhance their growth and development.
Rex grinned, "Just what I needed."
He later tried to check what taming points were but couldn't get a description as the skill gave.
He shrugged, putting the matter behind for another time.
System, store {Swampfang's Soul} in the Sanctuary, he thought and looked towards the beast blurring out of existence.
Then he asked to show its status.

He saw the system panel. Slightly changed from when he last saw before it's death.
Tilting his head in confusion, he asked for his status panel.

A new panel appeared beside Swampfang's status panel.
There were two panels floating in the air now.
He saw the same change in taming points increased by +10.
After taking his time, he figured out how his system worked—at least up to now.
Except for the new taming points.
Soon, Korr came, and everyone left the outer area, reaching their home.
