Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 933

Chapter 933: Chapter 933 - Taming the True Trap - 3

The energy in Orion’s hand promised death as a black-purple light. Not firing yet but prepared to... Just waiting for her decision.

Stay or go. Choose now.

And they both knew what she’d choose. He’d calculated this perfectly.

Finally Selphira couldn’t resist anymore.

She transformed in an explosion of mana that made the air around her cool precipitously. The fusion activating in a fraction of second.

And she launched toward the entrance with a furious look communicating exactly what she’d do to Orion if she managed to get out of there.

Not a threat but a promise.

After she survived this, and she would survive this, she’d make him regret every choice that had led to this moment. All of it would be repaid with interest that would make his current confidence seem like a tragic miscalculation.

Orion removed himself from the entrance instantaneously to let her pass.

The movement being smooth suggested he’d been expecting this still. He’d known exactly what buttons to push. Known how much pressure to apply before she snapped and did exactly what he wanted.

Was he watching that intently all those afternoons when Sirius trained with her?

Barely a second after Selphira passed through the threshold, Orion repositioned himself at the entrance with the barrier still active. A blockage preventing her from retreating to escape from the trap into which she’d voluntarily entered.

The black beam already charged began launching immediately. A projection converging toward Selphira’s back that was vulnerable during the moment where she was completely committed to forward movement until reaching Victor.

But she still covered herself with ice armor she’d anticipated manifesting. The protection ended up absorbing the impact and giving her more forward speed.

The ice cracked, but held long enough.

Selphira reached Victor about twenty meters before he would’ve reached completely to the bottom of the stairs where the six dual-beast tamers Orion had sent ahead were waiting. Her speed was sufficient to intercept the fall with space to spare.

She had the option of exiting the stairs’ confined tunnel and fighting with the six tamers in the more open space where mobility would provide advantage.

But Victor was literally in his final moments. Life being sustained by a margin so narrow that any additional perturbation could end it permanently.

She had to heal him immediately before considering any confrontation with enemies.

Every second counted and every delay increased the risk that he’d die before she could stabilize him.

And she’d have come all this way, sprung all these traps, expended an irreplaceable potion... Would that be just to watch him die in her arms because she’d been too slow?

Unacceptable.
