Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 839

Chapter 839: Chapter 839 - Taming the Fifth Year - Biggest Eater - 4

The Bashe had made itself bigger...

Not dramatically. Not a massive transformation doubling its size instantly or anything exaggerated. But there was an increase in length and circumference that communicated the serpent had gained real physical mass from consuming mana that didn’t originally belong to it.

Perhaps 5% larger. Maybe 10%. Hard to judge precisely from the stands, but definitely noticeable to anyone paying attention.

The purple coloration seemed slightly more vibrant. The miasma flowed more densely. The spiritual glow in its eyes burned brighter.

The audience began processing the implications of what they’d just witnessed.

Murmurs spread through the stands as connections were made and concerns articulated aloud. The volume rose quickly, hundreds of conversations starting simultaneously as people turned to neighbors to verify what they’d seen.

"Did it just..."

"It ate the attack. It literally ate it."

"I’ve never seen anything like that."

"Wait, so it can absorb the wolverine’s ranged attacks? Isn’t that its biggest advantage from the previous battle?"

The question rippled outward, picked up and repeated in different words but always expressing the same core concern.

Wasn’t that precisely the fundamental strength of Ren’s creature, the capacity to control elements from a safe distance and bombard opponents who couldn’t close the gap effectively? The wolverine had dominated every previous match by staying out of reach and overwhelming enemies with superior ranged firepower.

Wasn’t this a perfect counter to that strategy? A massive disadvantage that converted the wolverine’s most effective weapon into a liability that literally fed the enemy it was trying to combat?

"This is bad for Patinder," someone in the noble sections observed. "He’s built his entire approach around ranged superiority."

"And now he’s facing something that eats ranged attacks for breakfast."

And even more concerning for those contemplating long-term implications of the exchange...

How far could that thing grow if it continued absorbing attacks during an extended battle?

Was there a physical limit to how much it could expand, or would it continue feeding and growing until it became a monstrosity that completely exceeded its original rank?

The Bashe was already Gold 1. If it grew by 10% from each absorbed attack, and Ren threw 5 attacks at it, that was already 50% larger than baseline.

"It could become bigger than Selphira’s White Serpent," someone whispered, voice tinged with fascination.

"In the middle of the battle? That’s insane."

"Look at it. It’s already bigger than it was 30 seconds ago."

In the stands, even those who’d been disappointed by the serpent’s initial appearance now leaned forward with renewed interest.

Disappointment transformed into anticipation. Skepticism into concern. Boredom into rapt attention.

Because perhaps the rumors about the Bashe’s capabilities hadn’t been so exaggerated after all.

They’d just been incomplete in describing exactly how those capabilities manifested in real combat.

The serpent that could "swallow bull elephants" didn’t need to be large enough to do so at the start of the battle.

The stake flew through the space between the wolverine and the Bashe in a fraction of a second. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
