Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 747

Chapter 747: Chapter 747 - Taming the Fifth Year - Stars of the Past - End

The roars behind Orion multiplied like terrible mathematics.

Hundreds, maybe thousands of corrupted creatures following the trail of the core he’d activated. A tide of corruption flowing downward like water seeking the lowest point, filling chambers and corridors with writhing mass that would consume everything in its path.

Dead bodies, tired soldiers, even him... Everything.

He reached the tenth chamber staggering, legs barely supporting his weight anymore. Saw Sirius inside the white light barrier covering the chamber’s left half, his brother’s eyes widening when seeing Orion pursued by the horde that shouldn’t exist here but did anyway.

"We have problems!" Orion shouted desperately, words tumbling out with urgency that demanded immediate response. "Corrupted beasts are invading us!"

He tried entering with Sirius into the safety that the light barrier promised. But his body bounced against the light as if it were a solid wall rather than luminous energy, the barrier rejecting him completely with a force that suggested his presence was fundamentally incompatible.

"DAMNED TRAITOR!" Orion screamed, pointing desperately toward the white barrier that refused him entry when he needed it most.

"No, idiot, you can’t enter this one!" Sirius shouted back, understanding the problem immediately. "But I also activated the black one! Try the black barrier!"

Orion spun around with movements made clumsy by exhaustion and injury, seeing the chamber’s other half covered by the darkness barrier emanating from the pedestal where Lyzea’s heart rested. He threw himself toward it with his last remaining strength, faith and desperation driving him forward.

This time there was no resistance.

The darkness accepted him, wrapping his wounded body in cold protection that felt oddly comforting despite everything. As if Lyzea herself were embracing him despite what he’d done, still deceived by the false image of an exemplary husband he’d always projected superficially.

The corrupted beasts arrived seconds later with a sound like an avalanche made of flesh and fury.

They filled the tenth chamber like a putrid flood, a biological tide that violated every sense simultaneously. Dozens first, then hundreds more pushing behind them, piling on top of each other in a twisted mass of corrupt flesh and deformed claws that exemplified what ’evolution’ looked like when it went wrong. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The smell of their mana was overwhelming to the enhanced senses of the celestial tiger tamers, corruption’s stench making breathing feel like ingesting poison.

They launched themselves against the barriers with single-minded determination that came from summoning rather than natural instinct.

The white light blazed intensely where corrupted creatures touched it, pushing them back, rejecting their existence with absolute denial. The darkness was more subtle in its protection, simply denying beasts entry as if space inside it didn’t exist for their corrupted forms, as if they were trying to attack something in a different dimension.

Neither barrier yielded even a millimeter despite an assault that should have overwhelmed any conventional defense.

The corrupted beasts tried digging when their direct assault failed, their claws scratching at the ancient stone floor and walls with a fury born from frustration. But the stone here was different from chambers above, reinforced with ancestral mana that resisted their efforts with a durability that modern construction couldn’t replicate.

Minutes passed in absolute tension that felt like hours. Orion standing in the darkness, gasping, bleeding from wounds that weren’t healing fast enough. Sirius in the light, watching the horde with an expression impossible to read that might have been calculation or horror or some combination of both.

Finally, when it became clear the beasts couldn’t penetrate barriers no matter how they tried, when the assault had continued long enough to confirm defenses would hold, Orion let himself fall sitting against the wall inside his protective darkness.

He looked at the potions on his 5 pedestals, bottles glowing with promise of healing and power. Five on his dark side. Five on Sirius’s luminous side, resources divided by ancient builders who couldn’t have imagined the context in which they’d be used.

From his side he took all five without hesitation.

’For Luna,’ Sirius thought while explaining surface details. ’When she turns ten, having something different from our family’s symbol the Celestial Tiger will divert attention for a while. When she’s strong enough and older she can have both. This powerful beast at least will be hers, inheritance from her mother who can’t give anything else right now...’
