Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753: Chapter 753 - Taming the Fifth Year - Until I Found You

Hours later the corrupted beasts arrived before her parents could return, waves of twisted flesh and malice that poured into Starweaver territory like an infection spreading through healthy tissue.

Luna was still locked in the castle’s most secure core with the strongest guards forming a desperate perimeter around her. The last line of defense between an innocent child and horrors that should never have penetrated this deep into this wall protected territory.

Hours passed with agonizing slowness while the world outside descended into a worst nightmare. Each hour meant fewer living guards as they fell one by one buying time with their lives. Each hour meant more beasts finding paths inside through their sheer overwhelming numbers that made defense impossible despite superior power or skill.

The guards fought with a desperation born from knowing what would happen to the child they protected if they failed. They died holding ground that couldn’t be held. They sacrificed themselves buying minutes and seconds for reinforcements that took too long to arrive.

Luna had cried behind her protectors, her small voice breaking with questions that couldn’t be answered. "Where’s Mom? Where’s Dad? Why aren’t they coming?"

But nobody had answers that would comfort her, and the truth would have been worse than silence.

Time ran out with its terrible inevitability despite everyone’s best efforts.

The guards at the last door shouted that they couldn’t hold anymore, that the breach was imminent and they should prepare for the end. Voices carrying resignation that came from fighting until nothing remained but acceptance.

And then Luna heard it through all the despair, a familiar roar that made her heart leap with desperate hope.

Her father’s tiger... Explosive and furious. Desperate in ways she’d never felt from him before because Sirius Starweaver didn’t despair, didn’t lose control, didn’t let emotion override his tactical thinking.

Except when his daughter was about to die and nothing else mattered beyond reaching her before it was too late.

The door burst open with mana force that tore it from reinforced hinges, and Sirius Starweaver could be seen from the distance like a storm given human form.

His manifested claws tore through corrupted flesh like it was paper, mana weapons enhanced beyond normal limits through pure desperation. His black serpent coiled around the beasts closer to Luna and crushed them with force that made bones snap audibly. Light and darkness working in perfect tandem to eliminate threats with an efficiency that should have been beautiful if it wasn’t born from terror.

Finally, after many hours... no corrupted beast was left standing.

"LUNA!" he’d roared, voice carrying anguish that a small girl couldn’t fully understand but felt in her bones. His eyes found his daughter immediately despite the chaos of bodies, locking onto her with a focus that excluded everything else.

Luna had run toward him without thinking about any remaining beasts or danger or anything beyond the need to reach her father. "DAD!"

She’d launched herself at him and he’d caught her mid-air, pulling her against his chest and holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world and he’d nearly lost her. Arms that had just been killing compressed carefully around a small body that fit perfectly against his chest.

And then Luna noticed what her relief had initially hidden.

Her mother wasn’t coming behind him like she should have been.

She twisted in her father’s arms, searching the doorway with growing dread. Looking for that warm smile that should have been there.

"Mom? Where’s Mom?"

The question came out smaller than she’d intended, a childish voice that hadn’t yet learned to hide fear perfectly behind composure.

Sirius had gone completely still in a way that felt wrong. His body tensed with something that wasn’t combat readiness but something else, something that made Luna’s stomach drop before she understood why.
