Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060 - Taming the Wall - Preemptive Strike - 6

Liora’s spirit fire intensity was different from the spirit fire at advantageous operational intensity; it didn’t just purify, it pressured the corruption that was holding the mutants’ forced development together, finding the instabilities that the accelerated process had left in the system and widening them.

The Gold 3 mutants that took a direct hit from the spirit fire didn’t simply take damage; their new structure began destabilizing in a way that accelerated the damage they were already carrying.

Ren matched it with everything the Mantis had at this rank. The cutting power of the wind at Gold 1 shouldn’t be sufficient to end a Gold 3 mutant quickly on its own, but the huge extra % buffs and in combination with Liora’s destabilizing fire, the wind worked like a hot knife on butter on targets that were already having structural failures and extending them.

The guards held the perimeter with everything they had.

Lin and the panther moved between the lone targets that managed to push through the massive battle to the front with a precision that left no hesitation between one engagement and the next.

The seventh chamber cleared.

It didn’t take much yet.

In the silence after, while the group verified the state of each person, Ren read what he could read from the corridors leading downward.

He looked toward the eighth chamber stairs.

The eighth chamber would be above Gold 3. The question was how far above.

♢♢♢♢

Gold-rank beasts were large in a way that the word large didn’t quite capture until you were in the same room as one. A Platinum beast weighed roughly ten times what a Gold beast weighed.

A Silver beast weighed around a ton on average, which meant a Gold beast averaged ten tons and a Platinum beast started at a hundred.

The eighth chamber’s floor had the marks of the forced cannibalizing that were still fresh on them, also old wounds in varying states of healing, the occasional missing limb or compromised section of exoskeleton. But unlike the lower-rank mutants, these moved through the damage as if it were background noise; the multi-legged structure and compartmentalized node system that the new mutant corruption had built into them meant that losing part of the body wasn’t the same kind of problem it would have been for something with a more centralized anatomy.

They redistributed their new center of mass and continued.

The eighth chamber was going to be Gold 3.

That’s what they thought when they reached the last chamber.

Lin said it out loud: "Platinum 1 at most for the last two chambers."

Ren nodded... The pattern had been consistent.

If it took two chambers to go from Silver 3 to Gold 1, reaching Platinum would cost at least as much and probably more. The last three chambers, maybe.

They crossed the real threshold.

The first beast that detected them going down looked from the bottom of the chamber.

It was the size of a three-story building.

Platinum 1.

"We were lied to," Mayo said.

There was nothing to add to that, so nobody did.

The guards held the flanks. What followed wasn’t clean or easy in the way the earlier chambers had been clean or easy; it was still functional, and functional was still fine but needed some adjustments.

Seven Gold 3 normal tamers, their bonuses doubling and tripling the output of their beasts above their base rank, but a beast enhanced to the theoretical equivalent of Gold 9 was still not a Platinum beast.

The numbers had a cruelty to them that the math made precise. What compensated was the group. What compensated was always the group, and particularly when your group included three fighters operating well above the general level of the encounter.

But first Ren needed to make sure they were safe.
