Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 842

Chapter 842: Chapter 842 - Taming the Fifth Year - How High Can You Go?

Meanwhile, the field began changing slowly again in ways that took a moment for spectators to process completely.

10 spikes were born in a circle around the field, structures emerging from the ground in a symmetric design surrounding the combat area.

They rose gradually, earth compacting and shaping itself according to the wolverine’s will. Each spike was positioned at precise intervals, 36 degrees apart, forming a perfect circle with the Bashe floating at approximately the center.

But also, different stakes were growing in the 4 corners of the arena and in the exact center, 5 points that didn’t follow the same pattern as the 10 in the circle.

The wolverine stopped halfway through the process, pausing to recharge its external mana, then returned to work.

The energy drain was big. The wolverine’s movements became slightly less fluid during the pause, like an athlete catching their breath between sprints.

But it was fine since it was hidden underground...

Liora thought of attacking, but calculated that there was too much mana left in Ren’s beast so waiting for it to waste more was a better bet.

Then the wolverine finished, external reserves restored, it resumed with renewed vigor.

The 10 stakes in the circle were specifically designed to be launched as projectiles.

They were pointed and aerodynamic, shapes that would minimize air resistance during flight and would penetrate defenses more effectively than irregularly formed structures. The angles were carefully calculated, each stake tilted slightly inward so its trajectory would converge on the floating Bashe’s position.

It was obvious to anyone with basic ballistics knowledge that these were the 10 stakes Ren planned to use in the final assault against the Bashe.

But the other 5 stakes were strange in comparison.

Less aerodynamic, thicker at the base and growing vertically instead of at angles... Their purpose wasn’t immediately apparent to most observers watching them develop.

They looked almost like towers rather than weapons. Structures rather than projectiles. Some spectators squinted, trying to understand what they were seeing.

"What are those for?"

"Supports? Anchors?"

"Maybe just decoys? Make her focus on the wrong threat?"

Liora didn’t completely understand what those 5 structures were meant to do.

She could guess they served some purpose in Ren’s overall strategy, he’d never built anything to waste mana without reason, but the specific function eluded her. They weren’t positioned to block escape routes or angled to launch.

They just... stood there, growing slowly taller.

But Taro and Larissa understood, recognition hitting them almost simultaneously when the 5 began behaving in ways that confirmed their suspicion.

The stakes in the 4 corners and center of the arena began absorbing all the rock and roots from the field into their bases, a process accelerating visibly with each moment.

The field that had been shaped like a small hill during previous battles, that elevated terrain created by elemental manipulation, now flattened bit by bit as material was drained toward the 5 growing structures by that exact same manipulation.

Earth flowed like liquid toward their bases. Roots took mana from deep underground networks to grow and integrate into the structures. The entire arena’s accumulated elemental construction, all the modifications from earlier matches, now being repurposed into these 5 vertical towers.
