Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 907

Chapter 907: Chapter 907 - Taming the Fifth Year - Attrition - Final Battle - 6

Ren’s hydra fired light rays that were particularly devastating against mutants.

There was a strange inherent purification not just in the element but in how it interacted with corruption. Damage exceeding what raw power alone would explain. Like the light was somewhat countering whatever twisted the beasts from their natural forms.

When the hydra was charging and didn’t use light, it crushed the beasts between rocks. That was what cost it least thanks to the beast’s extra affinities in both light and earth. A combination that allowed it to control considerable mass without draining reserves excessively. Large stones sandwiched targets with huge acceleration.

Simple but brutally effective at that level of strength...

The Wolverine continued systematically testing several different elemental attacks to determine which was cheapest and most effective against the variety of mutants emerging.

Wood seemed initially advantageous, since it could recover energy from the beasts it trapped. The same parasitic cycle that had worked so well against Min and Liora during the exam.

But mutants apparently had corrupt mana and elemental resistances that complicated exploitation. Their unnatural constitution prevented roots from acting as easily as they should. The parasitic drainage still functioned but at reduced efficiency and maintaining the vegetation required constant mana input to regenerate against multiple sources of damage.

Only light seemed to maintain consistent advantage. Effectiveness barely diminished regardless of what specific type of mutant it faced.

Again, a confirmation of the principle Ren already knew. But useful to verify under these conditions.

The wood roots functioned constricting and draining mutants that became trapped in vegetative nets. Green tendrils wrapping around purple-stained limbs and squeezing. Thorns piercing corrupt flesh and drawing out twisted mana.

But as more beasts arrived, it became more difficult to maintain vegetation regeneration against constant attacks from all directions.

The mutants had multiple, even if weak, elemental abilities. Capabilities nowhere near Ren’s beasts refinement but sufficient to cause accumulating problems. Their crude fire burned roots before they could properly establish.

The elemental advantage of that weak fire that mutants generated broke the roots easily.

Crude but effective...

It was a limitation that made the technique way less useful here than it had been in the controlled 1 vs 1 exam battles.

Against a horde attacking without the same level of power but with overwhelming numbers, it became unsustainable.

Ren noted the weakness and adjusted tactics accordingly. Less reliance on vegetation networks and more emphasis on direct but cheap elemental attacks.

Luna used her wolf mainly with darkness.

The first natural element of her beast wasn’t a weakness for the mutants but was cheaper for the wolf too. Dense shadows supporting movements while the enormous creature’s pure physicality did most of the work. Jaws clamping on mutant necks and shaking violently, claws raking across their flesh and tearing, simple and brutal... But very effective.

The wolf would appear behind one mutant, tear it apart in seconds, then vanish into shadow and reappear behind another. A pattern of shadow-step and execution so fast that the mutants couldn’t predict or counter.
