Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Chapter 923 - Taming the Crystal Hearts - 7

Facing the unexpected situation of seeing not her most powerful but a strong, quick and precise attack being stopped so easily, Selphira decided to increase the power she invested.

If that initial force wasn’t sufficient then she’d escalate until finding the level needed for surpassing the resistance Orion was opposing.

She channeled more mana through her spear. The energy intensification making the weapon glow with increased brightness as the energy compressed into a structure already operating near its containment limits.

Ice was beginning to sublime at the edges where the mana concentration became too intense for any material to maintain a solid state.

And she pushed harder.

An application of insane force increasing as her fusion permitted the matriarch to access muscle capabilities normally blocked behind limiters preventing self-damage through overexertion.

Even her now merged body with the muscles and bone of her Genbu wasn’t meant to operate at these levels.

But healing bypassed those limits...

Genbu’s durability wasn’t the only thing reinforcing her physical structure. The light from her armor and internally controlled healing blessed water were letting her push with a strength that should shatter her own arms but instead transferred cleanly into the weapon and through it into the barrier.

The spear’s tip screamed against the barrier surface. Crystalline structures ground against each other generating a high-pitched wail making nearby soldiers clap hands over ears and back away further.

Light flared where the spear met the barrier. Purple and white energies clashing in space between them. Creating a corona of mixed radiation that would be lethal to anyone without Gold-rank mana density protection standing too close.

The spear’s power seemed to purify a good part of the barrier’s corruption... But didn’t achieve overcoming its function as a shield.

Regardless of how much she increased the power investment. The barrier remained at least half corrupted and not letting her move the spear through even 1 millimetre. Resistance showed no signs of yielding even when Selphira committed resources pushing her dangerously, rapidly close to the exhaustion that would come when fusion dissipated.

And Orion still waited patiently.

Watching with a predator’s attention, trying to recognize the exact moment when prey committed too completely to an action course and became vulnerable to a counterattack exploiting that over-extension...

’NOW!’

In a fraction of second when she was transitioning from full offense to balanced stance, when her guard was momentarily incomplete, Orion struck with unexpected timing that was perfect in execution.

A black energy ray interwoven with the corrupt purple launched from Orion’s position. Projection crossing the short distance in a fraction of a fraction of a second without giving any time for evasion when Selphira had just finished pushing against the barrier and her power had been fully used.

The timing was beautiful in a terrible way.

And the hit was not a simple blast but a precisely shaped beam optimized for concentrated power rather than area of effect.

And it came from an angle she hadn’t been watching. Exploiting the visual gap the light of her own attack had created. Path she hadn’t adequately protected because all her energy had been focused there anyway.

But Orion had waited for just the moment her "offensive shield" died.

His attack impacted with insane power.

The energy transferred overloading defenses that made a strong cracking sound.
