Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Chapter 772 - Taming the Fifth Year - Everything Goes in Love and War - 9

The tamer believed that the enormous difference in size and resistance would become a decisive factor that invisibility couldn’t overcome.

Just take one hit and the mantis will be revealed, then...

One solid hit from bear paws would crush the insect regardless of how many tricks it knew.

The bear planted itself with a defensive posture. Waiting patiently for the inevitable attack.

Ren observed this tactical shift with a thoughtful expression.

’I could order to attack from a distance,’ he considered while weighing his options. ’Launch elemental attacks until wearing it down with powerful elemental control through some small attrition. That would be a safe approach.’

’But it would also take more time than I want to spend...

Using many elements here and there also could show too much of my stamina range. Providing unnecessary data points people could use to infer how many bonuses I actually have accumulated.’

And more importantly, he wasn’t trying to look weak, just hiding some of his power just in case... But he was ready to take on some healthy pride too, as Lin calls it. He didn’t want spectators thinking they could simply tank and ignore his mantis because it was Bronze 2 rank.

He made a decision that would establish expectations for how his mantis should be treated regardless of rank disparity.

"Anti-defense cut," he ordered while inventing a name in the heat of the moment because this skill didn’t have an official designation.

It was not even a skill in the first place, just a plain hit from the mantis.

His mantis moved with a speed that made its almost perfect invisibility itself seem irrelevant.

There was no warning that observers could detect. No sound of approach despite air displacement that should have been audible. No visible signal that the attack was coming despite watching the arena intently.

The scythe-blades simply appeared from nothing.

Two blade-arms manifested directly in front of the bear, already in cutting motion, gleaming with concentrated green mana that made the air itself vibrate with the power being channeled.

The bear had no time to react to a threat it couldn’t see coming.

The blades impacted with force that transcended normal physical attack and strength.

And the Silver 2 beast with all its robustness and natural tank resistance that should have made it basically invulnerable to Bronze-rank attacks...

Disintegrated.

It wasn’t damaged through accumulated strikes. It wasn’t attacked at a weak point that bypassed defenses. No special skill was activated, no additional techniques beyond a high and pure physical attack power.

It wasn’t even luck or a critical hit...

It was cleanly cut through as if defenses didn’t exist. Obliterated through force so disproportionate that even the bear’s decent physical defense simply couldn’t contain the damage.

The strength bonus and extra attack bonus feedback loop were so big that even Silver 2 natural high defensive capabilities meant nothing against them and could not give a real approximate of Ren’s mantis..

The creature split in half exploded into mana dispersion that dissolved in air, returning to ambient energy rather than leaving corpse.

Absolute silence descended over the practice field.

Because everyone had just witnessed the Bronze 2 beast eliminate the Silver 2 opponent with a single strike that shouldn’t be possible according to everything they understood about rank advantages.

The bear’s tamer stood frozen in shock bigger than the severed link pain, staring at empty space where his beast had existed seconds ago. Processing what had occurred but unable to reconcile observation with the understanding of how combat should work.

"What...?" he managed to articulate, a single word carrying confusion and disbelief.

But there was no answer that could satisfy him or make sense of what everyone had witnessed.

No explanation that would reconcile Bronze 2 rank with power to obliterate Silver 2 in a single hit.

Master Lin raised her hand, her own expression showing a small smile impossible to suppress despite attempting professional neutrality.

"Victory: Ren Patinder. Score: 8-9."

The announcement broke the silence, allowing murmurs to spread through observers who were still trying to process the implications of what they’d just seen.

Because if Bronze 2 mantis could do that to Silver 2 opponent...

What would happen when it faced the remaining two fighters who were now questioning whether their beasts could survive even a single hit from a creature that shouldn’t possess that level of power?

The psychological advantage was complete before the second fight even began.

Team Twelve’s remaining fighters exchanged glances that showed uncertainty replacing the confidence they’d felt moments ago.

And Ren stood calmly waiting for the next opponent to enter the arena, his expression suggesting this outcome had been exactly what he’d expected rather than a surprising result.

Because he’d known what his mantis could do.

SECOND BATTLE
