Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1284

Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284 - Taming the Old World - Shadow Dragons - 15 End

Deep within the dark confines of the quasi-adamantium dome, the central mind of the corruption registered a distinct shift.

The purple dragon, the ancient consciousness that had plummeted to this world after losing most of its god-like power and had concealed itself within the densest fragment of its central crystal core, felt a new sensation.

This was the same guiding voice that had meticulously steered Selthia through the shadows for years.

Now, it detected an unfamiliar pulse filtering upward through the quasi-adamantium flooring of its makeshift prison.

Selthia had secured the Shadow Core...

Her surviving army had successfully ripped the prize from the southern guardian of Yino.

The overarching communication network remained severed. However, this incoming pulse was not a line of code meant to transmit tactical orders or spoken words. It was only raw, unfiltered shadow power.

Ren’s star-shaped prison functioned through precise mana interference. The specific vibrational frequencies of the five elemental cores he had embedded into the surrounding pillars perfectly canceled out the entity’s own broadcast. That jamming field effectively severed the code flow, leaving the purple dragon deaf, mute, and entirely incapable of directing its beasts across the continent. It also blocked the entity from extracting draconic power from the unique runic formations housed within its own stolen cores.

That forced silence was the exact reason Selthia had fought so poorly today, stumbling through her sieges with uncharacteristic indecision without her master whispering in her ear.

But this new sensation bypassed the runic code blockade. It operated on a fundamentally different frequency.

The purple dragon had immediately understood the irony of Ren’s design that accursed day. The boy had weaponized his nourishment, utilizing the entity’s own elemental food source as an asphyxiating blanket.

But the five blocking arrays were specifically tuned to smother the five common elements: fire, water, earth, wind, and wood. That precise calibration still prevented the internal cores from generating the massive power required to sustain the mutant five-headed Hydra form. That specific draconic energy was still off, smothered within the confines of the heavy metal walls and the counter frequency.

However, the underlying ethereal energy grid remained intact. That foundational network did not rely on the complex transmission of commands currently being jammed by the pillars.

And therein lay the microscopic fracture in Ren’s brilliant trap... Shadow and light mana.

The five-point suppression field was perfectly calibrated for the common elements. The Shadow Core that Selthia had just fed into the network was not among them.

Its dark resonance was absent from the blocking array’s coded parameters.

Consequently, Ren’s cage barely registered the incoming shadow energy.

The dark ether bypassed the interference, bleeding seamlessly through the underground grid and pooling directly into the trapped mutant dragon.

The mechanical abomination, reduced to a headless stump after the array melted its five Hydra maws, was still a Diamond-rank vessel. As the dense shadow energy flooded its system, the creature experienced a sudden surge in raw vitality.

The malformed neck stumps twitched. The beast strained against its limits, its corrupted flesh convulsing wildly as it attempted to force the five dissolved heads back into existence.

The effort ultimately failed...

The suppression field, while blind to the shadow element, still applied enough pressure on the other core frequencies to prevent a full regeneration. Furthermore, the physical Shadow Core was not localized within the dome to anchor the new flesh.

Instead, a single, malformed secondary head managed to push its way out of the scarred tissue. It was twisted, disproportionate, and incomplete, barely able to sustain its own weight.

It was a small upgrade. Yet, it was an upgrade nonetheless.
