Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 824

Chapter 824: Chapter 824 - Taming the Fifth Year - The Torch

It was a possibility that had been theoretically present in previous battles but had never felt as plausible as now.

His parents, seated in the special section near Selphira, had been observing with pride and concern throughout the day. They were natural worrywarts when it came to their only son. But even they were already accustomed to seeing Ren handle challenges with confidence and hadn’t perceived the adrenaline that NOW made them clench their fists unconsciously.

Could their son win this time?

Rarely was the new Ren seen in genuine combat distress.

Without doubt this team structure that forced individual combatants to face waves of opponents had been good for pushing him to limits in ways one-on-one confrontations would never achieve.

It was ironic in a certain sense. The opportunistic nobles had proposed changes to the exam format during their machinations... And perhaps they had been onto something with that specific suggestion, though sad for them that it no longer had much impact so late in the year when it was about to end and their political influence was severely reduced.

The mantis had eliminated the ninth opponent with a clean cut that separated the head from the body of its beast. And now, after this extended "warm-up", the moment everyone had been anticipating had finally arrived.

Liora walked onto the field with confidence that came from knowing exactly what cards she had available and how to use them optimally.

She was the last opponent, a position she herself had chosen when Taro and she had decided their positions in the line. Not because she was weaker than Taro and needed protection from being at the end, but because her specific beasts were particularly effective as finishers.

And as Ren had feared when he saw the initial arrangement, Liora had left the Bashe for the end of her own beasts as well. That terrifying creature that could absorb mana from fallen beasts and strengthen itself as battle progressed would be her closing card if they reached that point.

But first would come her other beast, the one Ren recognized immediately when Liora manifested it in an explosion of energy that made the temperature around the field increase noticeably.

The Will-o’-Wisp. Now at Gold rank after months and years that had elevated it from its modest beginnings at Iron rank.

The spirit that had been bright blue when Liora originally acquired it was now more purple, a tonality that communicated fundamental transformation in its nature.

Ren thought while observing the manifestation that the change was due to the spirit’s constant interaction with the Bashe’s demonic energy.

Maintaining two beasts with contrary energies bonded to the same tamer inevitably caused them to influence each other, to balance, particularly when one of them emanated a presence as strong as that of the giant demonic serpent.
