Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 783

Chapter 783: Chapter 783 - Taming the Fifth Year - Immovable

In the stands, the silence was absolute as observers processed what they were witnessing.

Then someone murmured what everyone was thinking with a volume that carried far despite attempting discretion.

"Forget the Wolverines and their elemental flexibility... That’s a true monster of elemental versatility."

Another voice added with admiration and maybe a bit of desperation at the implications.

"Its very existence feels like cheating..."

Because that was exactly what they had witnessed over the course of the battle.

A beast that could use all natural elements with mastery that exceeded specialized creatures. That could imbue enormous density of elemental power into its blade-arms for devastating strikes that hit way above its rank. That could heal itself with water after battle without requiring external support... Without even mentioning any of its basic abilities that were extremely useful in their own right.

It wasn’t a question of raw power output that could be measured and compared.

It was absolute versatility that defied normal limitations.

Responses for every situation... Solutions for every problem.

How did you compete against that kind of comprehensive capability?

How did you plan a strategy when your opponent had effective answers for everything you attempted?

You couldn’t.

Not without overwhelming force or abilities so specialized they couldn’t be countered even with a complete elemental arsenal.

The mantis represented a new ceiling that most students couldn’t hope to reach regardless of their own beasts’ potential.

And Ren still had two more beasts he hadn’t even deployed in the tournament.

Would he even?

VICTOR POV

The pain was unbearable; it transcended simple physical damage entering even into his mana system.

Victor had blocked the first light-darkness beam with his arms raised defensively. Had resisted the impact with his basically Platinum-level power through that long new method.

But it hadn’t been sufficient against an attack of that magnitude.

The attack had launched him backward dozens of meters across the stone floor before the momentum finally stopped. His arms burned from the energy contact. Golden scales cracked like fractured glass. Blood dripping from dozens of small wounds that covered his forearms.

The damage was done despite a somewhat successful defense.

But Victor Dravenholm wasn’t the son of the kingdom’s strongest tamer by accident of birth alone.

He didn’t surrender easily to setbacks or pain.

He stood despite agony screaming through nerve endings...

Ignoring the pain with discipline born from years of combat training. Ignoring the dizziness from blood loss and shock. Ignoring the wounds that would have incapacitated lesser tamers.

He made his decision with clarity despite everything.

Complete fusion...

He would fight with everything he possessed.

This was the limit of what a tamer could achieve before breaking through to Platinum rank.

It was a late deployment. The first attack had already inflicted damage. Victor was already injured and bleeding.

But still in time to defend against what was still coming.

Because from the passage in front of him, another beam of light and darkness was forming with ominous energy buildup.

Second attack. A bit more powerful than the first based on the concentration visible. Energy accumulation that made the air crackle with static electricity.

It launched toward Victor like a spear thrown by an enraged god seeking to punish his mortal presumption.

This time Victor didn’t raise his arms in that defensive posture that had failed before.

This time he lowered his head with deliberate positioning.

And received the attack with his horns in a technique his Qilin liked to use but he’d never attempted in real combat.

The majestic horns of the fused Qilin enhanced by Eagle’s power. Branched and reinforced. Gleaming with golden energy that rivaled the attacking beam’s light in intensity.

The impact resonated like thunder that even shook a bit the supposedly immovable ancient ruin’s foundations.

Light and darkness collided against pure gold in an explosion of conflicting energies.

And Victor held firm against that overwhelming force.

He didn’t retreat despite pressure that would have crushed normal defenses. Wasn’t launched backward like before. Didn’t yield even a single centimeter of ground.

His feet planted in the ancient stone floor like roots of power. His muscles tensed to maximum exertion. His complete power manifesting to resist the pushing force of the opponent hiding in the shadows.
