Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 905

Chapter 905: Chapter 905 - Taming the Fifth Year - Attrition - Final Battle - 4

Younger students, first and second years, showed more obvious panic. Needing reassurance that this was a manageable emergency rather than a disaster.

Older students, fourth and fifth years, displayed more composure. Still scared but channeling fear into productive action. Helping younger students and following instructor directions.

Master Yang struck the arena floor, his Earth Behemoth manifested beneath him in a rumble of displaced sand and stone. The massive creature served as a living platform from which he could observe the complete situation while coordinating defensive response.

Lin was also acting already... She moved between groups of students with her legs already elongated and transformed, covering ground with speed that normal human anatomy couldn’t achieve. Her usual composed demeanor had shifted to urgency focused on Ren.

Who? How? Why now?

Questions Ren didn’t have answers to. Questions that would have to wait because immediate priorities were survival and protection, not investigation and understanding.

The guilt was immediate and crushing... Felt like he’d been playing games in a safe controlled environment while outside, people had been fighting and likely dying.

He should have known. Should have recognized the absences and understood their implications. Should have prepared rather than being caught by surprise.

The earth continued trembling as hundreds of beasts approached. Convergence promising violence on scale the academy hadn’t faced from within its internal installations.

The academy, just like the city, had walls and a patrolled bowl of reinforced earth underneath designed to handle the sporadic invasions. It wasn’t a simple system of two-dimensional walls, here they dealt with threats operating in complete three dimensions. Beasts that flew and dominated aerial space. Creatures that burrowed and moved through earth with disturbing ease.

That’s why the city and academy had developed complex defensive systems. Though they wouldn’t need to deploy the anti-air configurations now, they would need to clear the ground because the shield that extended like a giant bowl beneath the school seemed to have failed.

The shield wasn’t a visible structure. It was rather a layer of earth reinforced with mana from thousands of earth tamers, with some gaps left deliberately to be defended making it easy to create bottlenecks.

Controlled entry points where defenders could concentrate more strength.

Its first layer encompassed the entire city. Broad coverage designed to detect major incursions before they penetrated deep.

The second covered the center and schools. Tighter security for critical infrastructure and concentrations of more population.

A slightly curved plate. Coverage that began deep before closing in a perimeter protecting a gigantic volume of three-dimensional space.

Barriers and kill zones... All the infrastructure needed to repel attacks from outside.

The most superficial part covering a good portion of territory assigned to educational facilities was still deep enough that ordinary threats wouldn’t activate it. And mutant incursions should have been detected long before reaching its interior. Should have triggered alarms that allowed proper mobilization of dispersed defenses before threats reached critical proximity.

That 2 layer shield system was designed specifically for that purpose. To block intrusions and provide detailed information about movement and composition of attacks with considerable anticipation.

But the mutants in question had already passed those defenses without activating alarms? Had been noticed only when they were dangerously close?

And they hadn’t arrived from a depth where the plate-shaped shield would have provided protection.

That implied to Ren almost instantaneously that the breach had occurred from the city’s outskirts, not from directly beneath the academy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
