Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014 - Taming Insanely Extreme and Extraordinary Puzzles

Just before Ren started bleeding, Wei was the one who could understand the change in the mana...

And he didn’t delay in saying so, because Wei had his own mushroom at Silver rank, and the sensitivity that bond gave him for reading the surrounding mana network was sharper in certain ways than what a common sensitivity beast provided, a different angle of perception, attuned to the particular language of what was moving through the space.

It was fortunate, because almost everyone in the room would be moving toward Ren as soon as the blood came out. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The blood from his nose and the intensity of the mana concentration at his eyes would have every person present arriving at the same conclusion in the same moment: this had to be stopped before Ren’s connections tore again.

"Don’t move," said Wei, quietly but with enough urgency that the people who had been about to move didn’t move. "Wait a moment."

Everyone looked at him.

Wei looked at the space around Ren with the eyes that were perceiving something that had no existing scientific framework for it but was too symmetrical to dismiss.

"The surrounding mana network is changing." He said it slowly, processing as he spoke, the words following his understanding rather than preceding it. "Forming right angles. It’s not a spiral or a vortex like normal, not the kind of local mana response you get when someone uses a technique and the ambient mana reacts. It’s..." he searched for the word, "... too numerous. Extremely numerous and made of small changes but growing more complex. It’s starting from where Ren is working and propagating outward in all directions, following very small ’rune-like’ forms or patterns."

But then blood began coming from his nose and from the corners of his eyes.

That was the moment Selphira raised her hand toward Ren, a signal to pause, a request to stop for a second, and Ren, without breaking the primary work, used a secondary mental process of elemental control to paralyze her from her arm with a precise electrical impulse. Not enough to hurt just enough to hold.

Because the gesture, however well-intentioned, would have disrupted the most delicate moment of a process where disruption could have produced more unwanted chain reactions.

Most of the others registered what had just happened and came a step closer anyway.

Ren also sent a gust of wind. Not too violent, just enough to push everyone back from the work radius and communicate that proximity was not something the next few minutes should accommodate.

The girls understood within seconds that fighting through it would only make things harder for someone who had clearly decided what he was going to do. Larissa understood first, she had assessed Ren and reached a conclusion she didn’t like but wasn’t going to argue with.

She looked at Wei.

Wei understood quickly. "We have no choice... He’s using perhaps a hundredth of his total concentration to keep everyone still with his elemental control." He arrived directly at the question the look was asking. "What he’s doing in the crystal is at least a hundred times more complex than everything else he’s doing simultaneously. Trying to stop him now doesn’t make sense, and I’m almost certain that within his immediate area right now, he’s capable of preventing any of us from fusing."

Nobody moved after hearing that.

Selphira had stopped feeling pain, and not only because the electrical stun had ended. The pace at which Ren was reordering the pieces had outrun the pace at which the chain reactions could produce damage before being intercepted, and what was now reaching the viable tissue was the correct form of energy returning to its place rather than the chaotic form of transition mana arriving without a channel to receive it.

The crystal throughout the descending intestine zone gave way.

Enough that when the doctors could finally evaluate, what they found was organs where stone had been, tissue with blood moving through it where there had been translucency, the internal mana system in that specific section finally able to access the channels that the crystallization had been blocking. A body working as a body rather than as partial statue.

Ren was bleeding more from his nose. Then from the corners of his eyes, then from his ears, the physical expression of a cognitive system running over the absolute limit of what it could sustain, the vessels in the areas of highest neural load finding the seams where extreme pressure expressed itself.

His huge Vitality was the thing that held him standing, and his tenacity, the same deep resilience that had gotten him through the ceremony hall and the years before it and every fight before that, and he used every bit of it.
