Chapter 177 Legolas's Beast Hierarchy
After naming his 4 beasts, Legolas fulfilled one of his most important roles to his beasts as a Summoner. After this came the beast hierarchy.
Compared to the Naming chances, the hierarchy gave him an even greater headache. Legolas felt like his head was on fire as he looked at all 4 of his beasts that stood before him and looked at him expectantly.
They all looked expectantly at him due to different reasons.
Akela was enthusiastic to see how the changes to his leadership qualities affected his Wolf pack, Lucky and Bran were enthusiastic to test their newly found strength and abilities to determine how strong they became.
As for Predator, only battle and killing filled this Nightmare Beast's head.
Predator could not wait to tear a beast apart with his newly discovered strength and abilities, his blood was already burning impatiently for battle.
Legolas smiled as he gently rubbed Predator's scaly body.
At this moment, he was already in a dilemma.
'In terms of my contracted beasts, Predator is without doubt the eldest since he is my first contracted beast but I got Lucky before him'.
'Should Predator be the eldest or Lucky?'
This time, Lucky could not read his thoughts due to Legolas's cautiousness but from the look on his face, she understood him and already guessed his thoughts. She stood before her father haughtily.
"I am the eldest, Predator is my younger brother".
"Validate my position as the eldest".
Legolas kept quiet as he calmly looked at the little Yellow Fox.
As he looked at her then at the 7 powerful Foxes that were behind her, a smile soon came over his face as his dilemma finally disappeared.
Legolas smiled as he went closer and hugged the little Fox by the head.
"Do you remember?" He whispered into her ear.
"Huh?" Lucky was confused.
"You forgot". Legolas chuckled. "I told you not to forget that you're my favorite, you came to me when even Predator was not there yet".
"You helped me locate Predator when I needed him the most".
"Your incredible luck has helped me on various situations".
"Though you can be silly and hard at times, you're still my favorite".
This time, Legolas was speaking sincerely from his heart as he rubbed the little Fox's fur. "Don't ever forget it again, you're my favorite but being my favorite doesn't mean you get everything".
"Look around". Legolas gestured at his other beasts.
"You know them more than I do, Bran is a Void Raven with incredible powers and battle experience, Akela recently expanded his Wolf pack, it's only Predator that's still more or less the same as before".
"He's my best one-on-one combatant".
"Apart from you, he's stayed with me the longest, and he's my first contracted beast. You have subordinates but Predator has none".
"I think Predator deserves this opportunity at least".
"Making Predator the eldest will bring the greatest benefits to me and us, remember, we're not just individuals, we're a family". Legolas smiled at Lucky.
He looked into the Fox's eyes. "What do you think?"
Lucky didn't know how to express how she felt. Since she acknowledged Legolas as her father, she seemed to have grown a certain weakness for him and this time it was no different as she fidgeted.
Legolas smiled in his mind as he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Help your dad with this to grow our family".
After saying this, Legolas no longer sought her opinion, he did it.

Legolas closed his eyes then he rubbed Lucky's fur one last time before standing up. "Predator as my 1st contracted beast will be the eldest in our family".
He turned to look at Lucky with a smile. "Lucky will be the 2nd eldest".
"Akela will be the 3rd eldest".
"And Bran will be the current last born of our family".
His virtual interface lit up instantly to register his choices.

Once again, Lucky's incredible luck struck true.
Legolas grinned as he looked at all his beasts. "You wanna try your new strength and abilities out?"
"Roar!"
The roar from Predator was deafening.
…
Thud! Thud!
Deep inside the Frost Forest, a pride of Snow lionesses led by their Alpha Lion pursued a herd of Iron-horned Elks as the sounds of their hooves and claws hitting the snow-filled ground reverberated into the surroundings.
As the chase continued, an intruder suddenly entered the scene.
The croak of a Raven reverberated in the skies as a Black Raven with golden stripes suddenly appeared above them.
Just after this Raven appeared, a massive Golden Eagle appeared beside it as the next moment, both birds of prey swooped down on their prey.
The pride of Snow Lions noticed it as soon as the 2 enemy birds appeared.
"Roar!"
"ROAR!!!"
The Alpha Lion's roar was met by a roar even louder than his.
Like an unstoppable train, Predator charged into this battlefield straight at the Alpha Lion. The Lion fearlessly charged at the Nightmare Beast but on collision, the Lion soon discovered how wrong of a decision it took.
Boom!
Using his Claw Barrage ability, Predator smacked the Lion as the momentum of his blows pushed this massive Lion backwards.
The Alpha Lion barely moved before he pounced on it.
The thick mane of the Lion prevented his teeth from digging in completely, but Predator activated all 2 of his new abilities. As soon as the Energy Drain was activated, the Alpha Lion jerked as it roared in pain.
The Disintegrate ability was what dealt the killing blow to the Lion.
A bite that was not supposed to be a killing blow became one as from the cells, this Lion's body started decomposing from the inside.
It died after struggling for 20 seconds, Predator feasted on it.
The Lionesses were spooked but they didn't have the chance to help their King because they were preoccupied by Bran and Lucky.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bran's Iron Feathers rattled through their ranks like fiery spears being shot by a battalion of well-trained soldiers, and this was when Lucky transformed again.
She transformed into a white fairy with a golden crown on her head.
She shrieked loudly the next moment as all the Lionesses were inflicted with the stun status.
This presented the opportunity for the Wind Wolf to run riot. With Legolas riding on top it, Akela brought the finishing touch of death to the pride of Lions. None of them survived the sudden attack from them.
All the Elks survived since they were not targeted, but all the Lionesses and their Alpha were left in a pool of their own blood in less than 2 minutes.
"Damn, I couldn't even use my human form". Lucky complained.
The next moment, she shapeshifted again, turning into a stunningly beautiful human lady with fair skin. Her appearance instantly brought a sudden stillness to this forest, all the beasts looked at her.
Legolas's nose literally bled as he looked at this lady.
"…"
"Holy… sh*t!"
