I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Ch 225

“H-He's in heat?!”

Otto exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yes.”

Elise nodded her head.

"H-How do you know that?"

"I can understand it."

“So, how?"

"I don’t know the details. I just know."

“Let me know if you need an interpreter.”

“Haha… Hahaha….”

Otto laughed in disbelief.

‘What do you mean you understand wyvern language!’

But upon reflection, it wasn't that unusual.

Elise is a linguistic expert who can speak fluently in the language of the GwikGwik, that is, the language of the Peng Tribe."

It seemed plausible that she could communicate with monsters.

Though she is blunt and unaccustomed to feminine things, Elise was actually one of the most versatile experts.

“So he's in heat?”

“That's right.”

Elise nodded and said.

“If you need an interpreter to understand what….."

“No, thanks.”

Otto didn't need any sort of interpretation.

He didn't want to hear the roaring of a heat-stricken wyvern translated into human language."

“Qasim.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Did you hear that?”

“Yes, I heard.”

“It seems like we need to find a mate for him? Otherwise, he'll continue going on a rampage?”

Even for humans, it's hard to control their libido when it heats up, so one can imagine how much harder it is for animals, whose instincts often override reason.

– Kaaah! Kaaaaaak!

So much was its torment that Khamak repeatedly let out agonized roars and thrashed about.

It wasn’t just because of , the onset of the heat period led to an explosive increase in male hormones, which seemed to make its temperament extremely violent."

“I'm sorry, Khamak.”

Qasim felt oddly apologetic and approached the black wyvern, gently stroking its neck.

Even though the black wyvern had lost its reason, it seemed to recognize Qasim and did not attack.

"I didn't realize. It must be so difficult for you."

"Gwik, Guic Gwiik!"

Peng also approached the black wyvern and gently stroked its back.

‘Poor thing. I can't get him neutered.'

In the world where Otto lived, pets were neutered for a variety of reasons.

But since this is a completely different world, it felt a bit inappropriate to perform neutering.

“What should I do?

Otto thought deeply and then looked back at Qasim.

“Sir Qasim.”

“Yes, I'm here.”

Qasim, who had been soothing the black wyvern, approached Otto and knelt on one knee in a gesture of vassalage.

“I will grant you a leave of absence.”

“Huh?”

“I want you to help find a mate for Khamak.”

“Your Highness.”

Qasim bowed his head.

"Isn't this a national emergency? We don't know when war might break out with the Cherokee Kingdom. I can't leave my post for a personal matter."

He is one of the key figures in the Kingdom of Lota.

It was unthinkable for him to be away when the Kingdom was about to go to war with the Cherokee Kingdom.

‘…When was it?'

Otto was honestly a bit perplexed.

Qasim often missed important moments, so the times he actually stayed at his post could be counted on one hand.

Of course, that wasn’t necessarily Qasim’s fault."

Anyway.

“Sir Qasim.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

"Even during such an important time, it's not a pleasant thing for me if Sir Qasim were to leave his post. Because…"

Otto added.

“Knight Qasim is one of the key figures in my Kingdom.”

“Your Highness….”

Qasim's eyes moistened.

‘To think Your Highness values me this much. Huhu.’

For whatever reason, Qasim's loyalty to Otto was unusually deep.

Like a loyal dog looking out for its master.

"But Khamak is not just any wyvern."

“Yes?”

“Khamak is the first air force unit of our Kingdom.”

"…….!"

"If the first unit becomes incapable of fulfilling its duties due to being in heat, the Chief of the Air Staff can’t just stand by."

“Ah!”

Qasim then understood Otto's words and exclaimed in realization.

Like Qasim, the black wyvern is a crucial force for the Lota Kingdom.

If the black wyvern cannot participate in battle due to being in heat, it would indeed be a significant loss for the Lota Kingdom.

"As the Chief of the Air Staff, taking care of the first unit, the black wyvern, is a very important duty. Sir Qasim."

“Aaa…!”

“So you should go.”

Otto ordered Qasim.

"Chief of the Air Staff, Qasim."

“Yes, I am here.”

“Effective immediately, you are tasked with finding a mate for the first unit of our Kingdom, Khamak, and resolving its heat crisis.”

“I will carry out the order, Your Majesty.”

Qasim accepted Otto's order, then approached Khamak.

“His Highness has given permission. Dad will help you find a mate.”

– Kaaaaaah!

Qasim untangled the metal chains wrapped around Khamak and also removed the net.

Then, he climbed onto the black wyvern's back with Peng.

“Let's go!”

"Guik, Gwiik!"

– ROOOOOOAAR!

As if it had been waiting for this moment, the black wyvern soared into the sky and began flying at a terrifying speed.

“Your Majeessssty, we'll be going nooooooow!”

"Guuuuiiik, Gwiiiiiek"

Otto waved as he watched Qasim and his group recede into the distance.

"Khamak~ Listen to Qasim~ Be sure to find a beautiful mate and have a happy mating, then come back~"

Khamak flew for several days, carrying Qasim and Peng, until they arrived at a high rocky mountain.

There, a group of about fifty wyverns lived together in a large nest.

– Kaaaaahhh!

-Kaah! Skree! Skreeee!

The wyverns were very wary of the black wyvern that had suddenly appeared.

That was only natural.

A young black wyvern had suddenly appeared, so it was perfectly understandable for the wyverns in the nest to be wary.

But Khamak didn't care if the other wyverns were wary of him or not.

Even when he was surrounded and threatened by other wyverns, he didn't bat an eye.

*Thump!*

Khamak landed boldly in the center of the nest and fixed his gaze on a female wyvern that stood majestically before him.

– Kaaa! Skreeee!

The female wyvern that met Khamak's gaze turned her head slightly, as if embarrassed.

"….."

"….."

Qasim and Peng were speechless, silently watching the situation unfold.

Neither Qasim nor Peng were wyverns, so they had no idea how to react, as they were completely unfamiliar with wyvern habits and ecology.

– Kaaah! Skreee! Kreee! Kaaah!

Khamak repeatedly howled at the female wyvern.

– Skree! Keeh! Kaaah!

In response, the female wyvern also seemed to answer Khamak's call with her own.

It was clear that she didn’t seem to mind at all, and it looked like mating would likely take place.

However….

– ROOOOOOAARR!!!

From afar, a massive wyvern flew in and blocked Khamak's view.

“It's the Leader!”

"Gwik, Gwiiik!"

Qasim and Peng instantly recognized that the wyvern was the leader of the group.

Just by its size, which was larger than any other wyvern, it appeared extremely powerful, and its presence was also very fierce and intimidating.

Moreover, the scars etched all over its body seemed to testify to how many rivals it had defeated to secure its position as leader.

Great size and strength.

And years of experience.

It was clear that it possessed everything necessary to be a Leader.

Although it wasn't a Black Wyvern.

– Kaaaaaah! Rooooaarr!!!

Khamak roared at the chief wyvern.

– ROOOOOOOOAAARR!!!

The chief wyvern roared back at Khamak.

The confrontation between Khamak and the chief wyvern sounded to Qasim like this.

‘Are you the leader of this group!’

‘How dare a young whelp like you!’

It was a clash between the new generation and the old.

The challenger was the young male black wyvern, Khamak.

The chief wyvern facing the challenger.

A fight for the position of the leader of the pack was about to begin.

"Khamak! Are you going to be okay!"

Qasim was worried about Khamak.

Although Khamak was a black wyvern, the chief wyvern's size was overwhelmingly large.

There was a significant weight difference of at least 500 kilograms.

Moreover, Khamak lacked practical experience fighting other wyverns, so it was uncertain whether he could win this battle.

Nevertheless, Khamak showed no signs of retreating.

No?

On the contrary, he seemed even more confident and assertive.

– Kaa! Kaah!

Khamak cried out to Qasim, as if to reassure him not to worry.

True to a black wyvern experiencing its first heat season, Khamak was brimming with youthful vigor, so much so that his enthusiasm seemed capable of piercing the sky.

“Okay.”

Smiling, Qasim patted Khamak's neck reassuringly.

"Dad believes in you, Khamak. You have to win. Got it?"

– Rooaar!

Khamak responded to Qasim's encouragement with a fierce roar and immediately charged at the chief wyvern.

– ROOOOOOAAAARR!

The Leader wyvern also roared in response, preparing to face the charging Khamak.

Thus, the fierce and bloody battle between Khamak and the leader of the Wyverns began.

Khamak and the chief wyvern fought without regard for ground or sky.

They bit, tore, whipped with their tails, coiled around each other, and charged with their bodies, using every means and method available in their battle.

The fight unfolded with the reigning alpha wyvern overpowering the younger black wyvern in terms of sheer size and strength.

“Khamak!!! Come on!!!”

“Guic!!! Gwikkk!!!"

Despite the enthusiastic encouragement from Qasim and Peng, overcoming the disadvantage of the size difference was proving to be quite challenging for Khamak.

– Kaaah! Skreee!

Meanwhile, the female wyvern that Khamak had singled out was restlessly agitated, unable to stay still or calm.

In the meantime.

*Thud!*

The chief wyvern pinned Khamak to the ground with its superior size and weight, crushing him under its overwhelming bulk.

– Kaaaaah!

Khamak screamed in agony, thrashing wildly in a desperate attempt to escape.

– Skree! Kaaaaah!

The chief wyvern looked down at Khamak with a triumphant roar, basking in its dominance.

It seemed as though the chief wyvern was daring Khamak to acknowledge its defeat.

“K-Khamak!"

Qashim shouted in alarm.

If things continued like this, it seemed that Khamak would be killed by the leader of the wyverns.

But Qasim's worries were for naught.

*Snap*

Khamak opened his mouth wide towards the chief wyvern who had crushed him.

In the next moment.

– Fwoooossh!!!

Green flames burst from Khamak's mouth and engulfed the chief wyvern.

That was also a crucial difference between a Black Wyvern and an ordinary wyvern.

Ordinary wyverns cannot breathe fire.

However, Black Wyverns, which are born as boss individuals, could breathe hot flames from their mouths.

And that was an extremely important factor in terms of combat power, beyond just their size.

– SKREEEEEEEEE!!!

The chief wyvern, suddenly engulfed in flames, let out a scream of pain, and that marked the beginning of Khamak's counterattack.

-Kaaah! Roooooar! Kah!

Riding the momentum, Khamak pushed the chief wyvern away and unleashed a relentless assault.

The chief wyvern, covered in flames, couldn’t even mount a proper defense against Khamak’s attacks.

It seemed as if the flames emitted by the Black Wyvern were extremely deadly to ordinary wyverns.

Perhaps it was indeed the case.

Black Wyverns exist from birth to be the leaders of wyvern packs.

– Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Just as Khamak was about to bite the chief wyvern on the throat.

– Kaaaaaah!!!

The female wyvern intervened and protected the fallen leader.

Then, it began to wail at Khamak.

“Huh?”

“Gwikk?”

Qasim and Peng tilted their heads, wondering what was happening.

They couldn’t understand why another wyvern would interfere in a fight for the leader position of the pack.
