Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1208

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208 - Taming the Old World - Elemental Dragons - 5

The mushroom rapidly ran a diagnostic on Ren’s system state, and its tone instantly morphed into panic.

"...Ren. I see that you have developed a vastly superior understanding of the cores’ activation mechanism, I acknowledge that. You are managing the draconic flow significantly cleaner than you did some minutes ago." The beast’s voice dropped, becoming terrifyingly severe. "But do not get arrogant! The mortal body possesses biological limits for a reason. Your actual safe threshold right now is two hundred and seventy-five after the damage we took. Because of that twenty-five percent overflow, your structure is actively crystallizing vastly faster and more aggressively than before! We are bleeding over the edge!"

Ren knew and had felt it instantly despite trying to push the energy to his hands.

The jagged crystals were no longer just dotting his forearms. They were tearing through the skin and muscles of his biceps, rapidly crawling up the sides of his shoulders, the agonizing numbness creeping terrifyingly close to his torso and neck.

"So tell me this brilliant idea of yours right now!" Mooshito demanded, its voice shrill with terror. "Because we need to expend this energy right now and I am mathematically certain we cannot win by punching it, and you have not much time left before this crystallization breaches your vital organs! If it reaches the core, absolutely no one in the universe can pull us out!"

Ren’s eyes widened in panic, yet not for his own life since he already had calculated and was pushing the extra to the external sides.

But if the girls saw the jagged crystal ripping through his skin inside his clothes, if they realized he was somewhat breaking his promise and turning into a statue right in front of them, they would panic hard.

He couldn’t let them see the damage. Also he was indeed in a hurry anyway...

Moving with frantic, adrenaline-fueled speed, Ren popped the high collar of his Vanguard uniform, aggressively pulling the ruined fabric up to completely obscure his neck and jawline. He twisted his torso slightly, hiding his rapidly crystallizing forearms behind the folds of his broken artifact cloak.

He forced the most reassuring, albeit strained, smile he could muster through the pain.

"I have the needed energy now! I’ll be right back!" Ren gasped, his words tumbling out in a rapid, breathless rush. He didn’t dare maintain eye contact for more than a microsecond. "I love you all! Help Lin kick any small mutant ass!"

Before Luna could reach out, before Larissa’s analytical eyes could spot the glowing cristals hidden beneath his clothes, and before Liora could shout a warning, Ren engaged his fusion to its absolute maximum.

BOOM.

The ground completely shattered beneath his boots. Ren launched himself into the sky, leaving behind a massive kinetic shockwave that sent the girls stumbling backward. He tore through the clouds like a blinding, desperate comet, racing to face the five-headed apocalypse before his own body turned to glass.

"I need your help again," Ren thought, his mental voice sharp and entirely devoid of panic as he tore through the sky. "But this time, I do not want you to manage the energy overflow. I need you to actively manage the dragon cores."

"Only the... The cores?!" Mooshito shrieked, genuine alarm flooding the psychic link. "You want to extract more primordial ether from them?! Ren, without all seven of them fully assembled, they are catastrophically unstable! I have absolutely no idea how you managed to comprehend their runic structure well enough to activate them twice already, but I cannot squeeze vastly more output out of them than you already have..."
