Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1220

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220 - Taming the Old World - Impasse

Julius felt the subtle, tectonic movement instantly.

"I have your frequency," the Qilin prince murmured, his palm pressed flat against the ringing metal and stone, his golden eyes sliding shut. He was entirely in his element dealing with subterranean structures, possessing an overwhelming, sovereign advantage when manipulating the earth. "I feel exactly where your energy is going."

And with flawless, Larissa-like royal precision, Julius fused and pushed his massive reserves of ether in the exact same direction.

The initial attempt didn’t yield almost any extra results, yet it definitively proved the concept was viable.

They immediately summoned Taro and every single high-tier Earth Tamer remaining on the battlefield. The elites arranged themselves in a tight perimeter around the monolithic dome. Each warrior pressed their palms flat against the surface, waiting for the signal. Ren took the lead once more, channeling his runic energy, but this time he had dozens of synchronized hands following his exact architectural guidance.

The second coordinated push proved far more effective. Slowly, driven by their combined ethereal output, they began to literally stretch the hyper-compressed bedrock surrounding the almost breached tunnel. They dragged raw material directly into the massive gouge the beast had carved, relentlessly packing the stone, successfully sealing away a fraction of the progress the monster had painstakingly made over ten days.

It was far from a flawless repair... The newly stretched stone was noticeably thinner. However, the escape route was undeniably shortened.

When they finally broke the connection, gasping for breath and utterly drained, Julius pressed his palm against the metal to run a fresh diagnostic.

"We reclaimed a single day," the prince announced. "Give or take a few extra hours."

A single day. After expending that staggering amount of collective effort, they had only managed to buy themselves a meager twenty-four hours of breathing room.

The monstrous entity trapped inside did not appreciate the interference.

The rhythmic pounding instantly intensified, growing significantly more erratic and deafening, the ancient artifacts gouging into the stone with a sudden fury. Julius kept his hand firmly planted on the alloy, listening closely to the subterranean echoes, and his regal expression rapidly darkened.

"It was hoarding its stamina exactly as we suspected," Julius explained. "Now that we have actively stolen its progress, the creature is finally demonstrating its true output." He meticulously measured the accelerated tempo of the scratching. "Our actual net gain is only half a day, not a full one. The beast is compensating for the setback through sheer, unadulterated rage."

Ren nodded slowly, the exhaustion weighing heavily on his shoulders. Half a day.

"That leaves us with exactly three and a half days, then... Potentially."

"Potentially," Julius confirmed grimly.

It was a pathetic margin. Yet, it was still a fraction more time than they possessed upon arriving at the courtyard, and given the nature of their current board, stealing even twelve hours back from the corruption was a crucial tactical victory for Ren’s recovery.
