Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070 - Taming the Wall - 10th Chamber - Secrets - 4

Ren looked at the chamber runes a moment longer and seemed to understand something.

"I’m going to try," he said.

"Ren." Liora’s voice had the exact temperature it had when concern had outrun patience.

"If Selthia wanted us to use the sacrifice," Ren said, eyes still on the runes, "she wouldn’t have shown me this..." He indicated the reorganized lines above the door. "But she also has to tell the truth to force me to try the riskier approach. What she wants is indeed the rematch... For that she needs me to understand certain things correctly and that means the information is accurate, because if it weren’t she wouldn’t get what she wants from it. But she deliberately didn’t mention one thing I just understood."

He paused to say something to Liora quietly, close enough that it didn’t carry, then continued at full volume.

"So besides that thing she left out, she gave me correct information against her own interests, or risked not getting her rematch." He looked at Liora. "Either way I think she can’t stop what you can do, and she’s redirecting attention away from it."

He held her eyes.

"I trust you."

Liora took the time she needed to review that reasoning. Looking for the piece that didn’t fit, the angle that created a gap in the logic, the assumption that only held if you didn’t press it.

She found nothing.

Which didn’t mean there wasn’t anything to find but...

Ren leaned toward her before closing the distance to the door. His voice dropped to the exact level that reached her and stopped there, the kind of intimacy that was automatic by now.

"What I told you is true, and we have a trump card: the fusion. If the crystallization starts, you can pull me out mid-process." He kept the delivery level and factual.

"There’s no risk to my primary system if I put the Mantis at the front of the exchange. If I’m fused when it happens and the Mantis is the one making contact with the door’s system, only the Mantis’s nucleus takes the full effect. The other three beasts in my system run on a different frequency when the fusion is active; my primary in particular, since it’s the one managing the fusion itself. The door can’t reach them the same way until it finishes with the first one in line."

A pause to let her get that truth.

"And the fusion bonuses give me enough resistance to hold against the beam for a meaningful stretch. I’ve read more operational detail about how these doors function in the other ruins than what she’s showing us highlighted here. That specific part isn’t in her highlights... Selthia left it out deliberately."

Liora looked at him for a long moment.

"If it goes wrong," she said, and the word went down flat, no bend to it, a line rather than a suggestion, "I pull you out. Whatever is happening with the door at that moment."

"Yes," Ren said.

From the walls, Selthia said nothing.

Nothing was also a kind of answer when Selthia was the one choosing it.

Ren moved toward the door, then turned his head back toward Liora one more degree.
