Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1062

Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062 - Taming the Wall - Preemptive Strike - 8

This wasn’t working...

Liora’s fire reached the overlap zone and found the Hydra’s ice there, and when fire and ice met without precise control they cancelled each other, which meant the regeneration improved by exactly the margin the two effects had been suppressing.

Ren changed elements without alternatives.

The Hydra dropped the ice from the second head and moved to something that wouldn’t interfere with the fire; so pure light on the first head, lightning on the second even at higher cost, because light and lightning didn’t counter fire and the ice was doing more harm than good now.

The lightning landed with real force.

The beast that received it staggered, only for a moment, but a moment was enough for the carapace rotation to fall fractionally behind and the light to reach something softer underneath. Real damage, the kind the beast registered, adjusting its rotation pattern so the next cycle came slightly faster.

But the pattern had changed...

The partial paralysis from the lightning made both beasts clumsy, not useless but clumsy, and clumsy in something of three hundred tons was still a constant threat, still something that could end a person without particular effort, but it was the difference between gaining no ground and gaining ground very slowly.

Ren started calculating how much mana the group would have left for the tenth chamber if the fight continued at this pace. Lin reached the same conclusion a few seconds after he finished the calculation.

"At this rate we arrive downstairs tired," she said.

There was nothing to respond, because it was correct.

"I fuse here, you come later to carry me out." Not a request for input. "I finish this quickly and you save what you can for whatever comes next."

Lin had made her decision.

"Go ahead to the tenth," she said, with the smile she had when something struck her as an interesting problem rather than a serious one, the smile of someone who had spent their whole life looking for challenges to push against and come out of better.

"But..." Ren started to hold his position not wanting to leave her alone.

Lin lowered her guard for a second to touch the top of his head, the way she had when he was still the boy she had been supporting since the beginning of first year.

She was relaxed, not because there was no threat but because she had decided something, and when Lin decided something the body knew before the conscious instruction arrived, the same way it knew during daily practice, and didn’t resist.

She looked at the two beasts spiraling toward them, then looked at Ren, and in that look was all the evaluation she needed: how much mana the group had left, how much they would spend if this continued for another ten minutes, what they would find in the tenth chamber without reserves.

"Go down now."

Ren opened his mouth.

"Go down," Lin repeated, and this time there was no suggestion in the voice, only someone closing a conversation that wasn’t having a second round.

Then she smiled, and it was the smile she had when the problem in front of her was exactly the right size, not so small she would be bored and not so large she would be worried, just right. Something genuinely amusing in it, as if the two masses of three hundred tons each rotating in her direction were a puzzle she found interesting rather than a danger she needed to respect.

Nobody argued anymore.

Ren looked at the beasts once more, then at Lin, and made the decision as someone who knew how to tell the difference between a situation where their presence added something and one where it got in the way.

The guards followed.

Liora was the last to move, because Liora was Ashenway as well, and when Mayo held her gaze she turned and went with the others.
