Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Chapter 749 - Taming the Fifth Year - Full Truth - 2

"And Orion?" he asked finally, needing to know despite suspecting the answer would make him angrier. "Why did he do all that?"

"Don’t think about it too much, the world has all types of people..." Selphira responded with contempt, badly disguised. "The vermin came out days later when the beasts finally dispersed enough for him to move with safety. He’d been hidden in the black barrier the entire time while people died above, protected by his wife’s essence while time served his ambitions."

"And when coming out he confessed something to Sirius that I only learned about later. Maybe seeking some type of redemption for guilt that wouldn’t let him sleep... Maybe just being stupid in ways only Orion could manage." She shook her head in disgust. "He told him that he’d tried approaching Sirius’s side of the potions, the side protected by white barrier after Sirius had left..."

"...Because the farther Sirius moved from the pedestal where the white heart rested, the more tenuous the barrier became. Apparently the distance weakened protection in measurable ways."

Ren’s eyes widened as he understood the implications immediately.

"But he could never cross completely," Selphira clarified quickly. "Could never enter ’Sirius’s side’ to take his potions or ’his’ artifact without being rejected by light, however small, that recognized he didn’t belong there. But nonetheless, he noticed that the barrier intensity depended on distance from the heart’s keeper."

"Why would he tell Sirius that?" Ren asked, confusion mixing with suspicion. "If it was potentially useful information for future exploitation..."

"Maybe he hoped Sirius would understand something that would allow them to advance further together, obtain more treasures through cooperation rather than competition, "hitting while the iron is hot". Perhaps to keep cooperation alive through the fear of Sirius’s rage attacking him without thinking about any consequences..."

Selphira shrugged. "Since consequences are the only thing stopping ME now too... Or maybe it was just stupidity, giving away relevant information that someone more intelligent would have kept for themselves as leverage or advantage."

"I helped Sirius verify it after the crisis passed," she continued, moving past judgment to practical matters. "We needed to understand how the barriers functioned completely. If they could be maintained long-term. If they were permanent protection or temporary effects that would fade."

"And we discovered something interesting about the mechanics involved."

She leaned forward with an intensity that suggested this was crucial information.

"While Sirius didn’t leave the city limits, while he remained inside the ring that marks the urban territory of our former king Dragarion... the barrier didn’t disappear or weaken beyond a baseline."

"We tested distances with careful experimentation. It was as if..." she paused, searching for words that could capture the strange metaphysics, "as if the heart could sense the husband’s proximity. As if somehow, Lykea’s essence trapped inside recognized Sirius and maintained a connection while he remained close enough or connected to some invisible city system we don’t fully understand."

"Or perhaps the heart belongs to him in ways that go beyond simple possession. A connection forged through marriage and love that transcends physical distance up to a certain point."
