Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068 - Taming the Wall - 10th Chamber - Secrets - 2

Young, younger than Ren had expected, with the face of someone who had processed the terms of the arrangement and arrived at the conclusion that it was the best deal available in his situation: survive the crystallization, which Ren would reverse afterward, and have his family’s remaining penalties reduced by half.

The sad math of someone who understood they were not in a position to negotiate and had been offered more than their situation strictly justified.

Arguably a generous deal.

It was the deal that corresponded to what they had done and what they were able to offer.

The Astor tamer was watching the door with the attention that came from not being able to look away from something one very much wanted to look away from, the fixed gaze of someone applying the full force of their willpower to remaining still.

It was a very convincing argument to stay still.

Ren looked at him. Looked at the earth nucleus readable in his system for anyone with the sensitivity to find it. Then looked at the door and at Sirius’s nucleus integrated into its surface, and began calculating what came after.

He couldn’t avoid feeling something like guilt, but it was necessary.

Until a voice arrived from everywhere.

"You guys don’t have to be so cruel, with the handsome chosen of the stinking devouring light right here."

Nobody in the group took longer than a second to recognize it.

Selthia again... No body, no projection, no physical presence like she’d had minutes before, but present in the space of the chamber regardless, in a way that took a moment to locate because it didn’t come from any specific point but from all of them simultaneously, each syllable arriving from a slightly different direction, the voice distributed through the architecture.

"Your tumor burned pretty well based on the smell," Mayo said. "Are you still here for some reason or do you just enjoy making the atmosphere unpleasant with your stench?"

"Ha, I’ll admit the unjust focus of that beautiful Hydra’s ray hurt somewhat, especially coming from the interesting boy that has a matching beast with me. That hit left me quiet for a moment," Selthia said, with the tone of someone conceding a point that still doesn’t particularly affect them.

"I went quiet when I realized there was no point in asking you to stop anymore. But I’m still bored of being alone, and this chamber is integrated into my network. I can see and hear everything in it even without being able to project myself or attack. I lost those two things with the guardian..." A pause that had the texture of someone settling in rather than finishing. "But existing here costs me nothing now. So here I am."

Ren looked at the walls with a strong inclination to break the runes and end the conversation, but he didn’t know how they would react in the chamber’s structure or whether he had enough power left to affect walls that were virtually indestructible.

He left them alone for now...

The voice changed direction with each syllable, not randomly but following a pattern, activating different runes in sequence in a simple brain to produce the acoustic illusion of something coming from everywhere at once.

The kind of design that made every surface in the chamber participate in transmitting what one part of it sent, a single large distributed system that happened to function like a very old and very strange speaker.

The runes were also tracking his position. And other things... He felt observed in a way that had nothing to do with eyes.

"What I’m proposing, handsome," Selthia continued, "is simple. You can place your own core there. You won’t fully crystallize; only the beast of your choice, momentarily, you could open the door even alone with 2 cores. Your system is different from ordinary people’s, and these doors were designed for entities like us. And you are one of them." A brief pause with something like significance placed in it.
