Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 925

Chapter 925: Chapter 925 - Taming the Crystal Hearts - 9

Orion made gestures with his hands that were precise in movement...

They moved in complex orbits following paths suggesting sophisticated control systems. Each crystal maintaining a specific distance from others.

It was something she hadn’t seen before. And that made her cautious despite her forward momentum. Unknown capabilities were the most dangerous because you couldn’t prepare for what you didn’t understand.

The earth began trembling again.

A vibration that was familiar from when the mutants had initially arrived but that now had an increased intensity communicating that what would come would be on a larger scale than what had occurred previously.

The barrier resisted her charge again.

And shortly after, directly beneath the exact position where Selphira was maintaining her push against the barrier, the ground fractured as dozens of mutants emerged simultaneously.

Not individual creatures attacking randomly but a coordinated wave converging toward Selphira from below. An approach that exploited, once again, the moment where she was committed.

It was almost the same tactic he’d used before.

But Selphira eliminated them with ice she manifested almost casually.

The projection froze mutants before they could reach the distance where claws and jaws would be a serious threat. Spears of ice erupting from beneath them, frost encasing them mid-leap or simple energy pressure executed with minimal mana expenditure because she’d done this thousands of times.

It was ridiculous that even partially exhausted and facing another surprise attack, her capability to respond to multiple simultaneous threats remained formidable.

The mutants were just annoyances... Not actual dangers to someone of her caliber. Orion would need more than Silver-rank corrupted beasts to seriously threaten her even in her current depleted state.

But while she dealt with the mutants emerging from below and pushed against the barrier, Orion exploited the distraction again to launch the black beams.

Yet Selphira blocked the beam this time with an ice shield she materialized reflexively.

The shield formed in a fraction of a second. Dense defense, optimized for stopping penetrating attacks.

The beam struck... The ice cracked, but held.

Good, she’d adapted.

But the second beam broke through the barrier.

Selphira covered herself with a smaller ice shield that she materialized reflexively, but even the new barrier broke under the impact of the second black beam that Orion had launched.

And that second shot that had followed almost immediately behind the first one sent her flying again. The momentum threw her several meters backward before she could arrest the movement and land this time in a posture that maintained some dignity despite the violence of the impact.

She hit hard but had learned from the first hit. Adjusted her defensive stance fast and prepared for the follow-up she knew would come.
