Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823: Chapter 823 - Taming the Fifth Year - Passing the Torch

Taro finished enduring until the next boy was in position with his beast manifested and ready to attack. And only then, when he’d completely fulfilled his tactical role, did he finally allow the bonds to be severed entirely. He collapsed onto one knee, breathing heavily, sweat covering his face.

But there was a smile on that face despite the pain and defeat.

He’d done what needed to be done.

Had pushed Ren’s Golden beast to his absolute limits.

Had wounded it critically in those final moments.

And had set up his teammate for a clean elimination that would force Ren to face the remaining battles with one less beast available.

Had established a situation where his team still had a chance of victory if the following combatants executed appropriately.

It was the best outcome Taro could have achieved given the circumstances.

Ren grabbed his hair with momentary frustration but was also smiling while observing his tenacious friend. Always giving him problems. Always pushing him to be better. It was exactly why their friendship was so valuable, why training with Taro had been so beneficial for both during all this time.

He assessed the situation rapidly through his bond with the paralyzed hydra.

The beast was alive but critically wounded. The proboscis had pierced through vital areas, the enhanced mineral tip having caused internal damage beyond what was immediately visible. The paralyzing venom was spreading through its system, locking muscles and preventing movement.

And the battles continued without pause, the teacher recognizing that momentum needed to be maintained given the combatants’ strategy.

The next student attacked the paralyzed hydra immediately, his beast launching an elemental fire projectile that should have been resisted or avoided easily in normal circumstances.

But the hydra couldn’t move appropriately with the venom running through its system.

Even so...

Ren managed to make it fire a beam even while lying down, orienting one of the heads toward the incoming opponent. The light beam emerged with reduced force but sufficient, and Ren ingeniously used earth control and the shot’s thrust to reposition the hydra’s head slightly, rotating it just enough so the enemy projectile got destroyed and didn’t impact the exposed flesh while his own attack eliminated the opponent.

But the second opponent entered more rapidly, all the others already in line trying to maintain the battle active with not a second of rest.

This opponent was more dangerous, using wood element roots that would have type advantage against the hydra’s base earth element, which despite being omni-elemental now, still maintained a certain inclination toward its two initial elements.

But by the time the roots were completely trapping the hydra... Ren executed a light jump with the hydra again, massive mana expenditure that left the beast’s reserves dangerously low but allowed repositioning just behind the attacker, eliminating the second opponent with a weak but clean shot.

Against the third, however, the hydra no longer had sufficient mana to continue.

The venom had been partially processed but the physical damage it couldn’t heal due to constant battle was too extensive. Without being able to heal appropriately, without resources for more powerful attacks, and with the enormous hole the Terror’s lance had left in its flank plus the accumulated damage from the mineral ball on its diamond defenses...
