Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1281

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281 - Taming the Old World - Shadow Dragons - Last Front - 6

Outside the mountain, the situation had indeed collapsed into an absolute disaster.

Lin crackled with volatile, unstable lightning. She was exhausted, her breathing ragged, yet she stubbornly held the line directly in front of the mountain’s entrance, desperately fighting to keep the horde from fully pouring inside.

Looming directly in front of her was a towering, grotesque mutant that roughly mirrored the silhouette of a dragon.

The Vanguard had been entirely unable to peel the mountain of mutant flesh off the prize. The Shadow Dragon was simply too massive.

The sheer surface area of the guardian had allowed hundreds of mutants to latch onto its body simultaneously, literally constructing a secondary mountain of writhing meat over the dissolving corpse. Dislodging that kind of density was impossible with the meager reserves the Vanguard had left.

The horrific result was a gargantuan, stitched-together monstrosity, assembled from the fused bodies of some of the very beasts that had tried to devour the guardian’s heart.

The situation was so dire that Mayo had completely stopped making jokes.

The young woman dove through the smoke on the back of her cloud-bird, executing a desperate swoop to rescue Yang. The earth and wood tamer was operating on fumes, his colossal armor of bedrock and ironwood almost entirely pulverized. It was the exact same emergency extraction Mayo had already performed for Hikari, Umi, and the academy directors.

Those veteran warriors currently lay unconscious on the broad, soft back of Mayo’s hovering avian beast, their mana cores completely depleted. They were being frantically tended to by some healers, the royal guards and Mayo’s maid companion, who were the only individuals on the mount still clinging to consciousness.

Down in the ground, only Lin remained on the frontline, supported by Zhao providing covering fire from the sky.

And looking at the colossal shadow-wielding abomination rising before them, it was painfully obvious that neither of them would last much longer.

Back inside the ancient mountain, Sirius fought a losing battle against the living shadow anchoring his legs to the crystal floor.

"Liu!" he shouted, straining his legs against the viscous grip. "Grab the ring and get out of here! Do not look back! I will figure a way out of this later!"

Liu did not bother giving a verbal reply... He did exactly as he was told regarding the artifact; he snatched the heavy ring from its pedestal. And immediately after securing the prize, he initiated his fusion. His physical form rapidly expanded, twisting into his ultimate combat state.

The blood wendigo emerged to his side too, a towering nightmare of crimson muscle and bone that had made seasoned soldiers tremble just by looking at it. Liu launched himself directly at the Diamond-tier mutant that was now attempting to fully nullify Sirius’s shadow magic.

But mid-flight, he threw the ring straight at Sirius.

There was no time for moral scruples... Sirius felt a sudden, profound respect for the young men and women orbiting Ren; they were cut from a genuinely rare, fiercely loyal cloth in this generation. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
