Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817: Chapter 817 - Taming the Fifth Year - Titan’s Legacy

The yellow mineral structure grew larger with each second, reaching the size of the beetle’s own head, then surpassing it, eventually achieving proportions that made the beast beneath seem about to be crushed by the weight of its own creation.

But it wouldn’t be crushed...

Because beetles were also strong, not just in defense but in brute force when necessary. And while Taro’s beast had less multiplied strength than the hydra with its bonuses from two other beasts, it still had one extra beast and in total more than double what it would have as a wild creature. It was sufficient power to execute this final move even as its body began disintegrating completely from lack of mana.

Ren recognized what was happening half a second before it was too late. "Up," he ordered the hydra, but knew even as he gave the instruction there wouldn’t be enough time to release and dodge.

The enormous ball of yellow mineral that had grown over the beetle hardened in a fraction of a second, the structure passing from semi-fluid to diamond-solid. And then it began precipitating downward with all the accumulated weight plus the force the beetle could apply in its last act before disappearing completely.

The beetle was disintegrating even as it pushed, its body converting into light particles that dispersed in the air as the bond with Taro severed violently.

Taro felt the pain lance through him, that sharp and terrible emptiness where connection with his most powerful beast had been, but he clenched his jaw and held firm.

Didn’t scream.

Didn’t show visible weakness.

Endured it "like a man" according to the expression his father sometimes used when talking about enduring difficult things without breaking.

The mass of mineral impacted just as the hydra was beginning to release the grip that no longer served an advantageous purpose.

A new explosion of dust and debris clouded the battle completely, visibility reducing to zero for a moment that extended beyond what the audience expected.

Dramatic silence settled while everyone waited for the dust to disperse, none completely certain what they’d find when vision was restored. Some murmured speculations in low voices about whether the hydra would have been seriously damaged by the suicide attack executed with such perfect timing. Others simply observed in silence, recognizing this was the last moment where the outcome was in doubt.

When the dust finally began settling, the first thing that became visible was that the beetle was just completely disappearing.

It had disintegrated into particles that no longer existed on the physical plane, having returned to Taro’s core in purely energetic form that would take time to reconstitute properly.

The battle against Taro’s first and most powerful beast had definitively ended.

But the hydra was also visible now, and to the surprise of many observers, it didn’t look as damaged as the dramatic attack would have suggested.

It had released one of its heads at the last moment before impact, the jaw releasing its grip to allow that head to move freely. And it had used that freedom to fire a light beam directed upward, not horizontally toward an opponent but vertically toward the mass of mineral descending upon it.
