Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 851

Chapter 851: Chapter 851 - Taming the Fifth Year - Timing

The Bashe opened its mouth enormously, jaws separating to an angle and size that seemed impossible to sustain.

The permanent smile becoming a grotesque hole that could swallow buildings.

And it began absorbing the towers as they reached it, not simply consuming the mana composing them but literally devouring the physical mass of compressed earth and braided roots.

The entire structures, 200 meters of carefully engineered construction, simply disappeared into that void.

Spiritual consumption converting matter directly to energy through impossible spiritual alchemy.

The serpent’s size began growing insanely as it processed the massive volume of material.

It was no longer the smaller creature the curse had created but a monstrosity expanding exponentially, its body inflating to proportions exceeding anything shown during the previous part of the battle. Growth that surpassed even Selphira’s White Serpent’s size twice over, accumulated mass converting the Bashe into a titan completely dominating the visual field.

The coils filled the arena floor and purple scales now covered an area visible from anywhere in the stands.

Bigger than any serpent should be. Held together more by spiritual energy than conventional biology.

The crowd was screaming now, half in terror, half in awe. Nobody had seen anything like this outside of historical records about legendary beasts from centuries past.

Liora knew exactly what Ren was attempting to accomplish with this apparently counterproductive movement.

He wanted to make the Bashe explode.

Force absorption of more energy than a Gold 1 serpent could appropriately process. It was the reason Liora hadn’t entered too large into the battle as Mayo had asked days back.

Because maintaining such massive size for prolonged time was difficult at the Bashe’s current level, making it easier to reach an amount of mana that would eventually collapse the serpent from within.

Ren was betting he could force that collapse now by feeding the Bashe more than it could safely digest.

Overload the system. Trigger catastrophic failure. Win through excess rather than deprivation.

But Liora had a counter-strategy for exactly that scenario.

She knew she could release the massive wood and earth mana now filling the Bashe’s inflated body in an enormous nature frenzy that would trap the wolverine Ren kept hidden underground.

It was the only way to convert the apparent disadvantage of excessive mana into an advantage that could change the battle’s outcome.

All that absorbed energy released simultaneously underground where the wolverine was anchored.

Enough to kill a Silver 3 wolverine instantly if positioned correctly.

But the timing had to be perfect.

Too early and the towers would still be falling, additional mass striking the Bashe’s enormous body and causing trauma that would interrupt the control necessary for the directed explosion.

Too late and Ren would attack first, surely using blessed water to destabilize the internal wood mana before Liora could execute the release.

She had to do it precisely when towers no longer represented danger to the now-massive body and before Ren launched the attack she knew would come.

Because Ren wouldn’t simply observe the Bashe without doing anything to interrupt.

The window was narrow.

Her mind was focused, ready to command through the bond. Waiting for the precise moment.

Almost.
