Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 940

Chapter 940: Chapter 940 - Taming Rage - 3

Expansion being the price he paid for each large energy investment.

And using lightning during cleanup had been particularly costly in terms of feeding the corruption propagating through his system.

Each technique fed the darkness. Each moment brought him closer to the tipping point where corruption overwhelmed his control completely and left only a beast wearing his face.

He could feel it... The wrongness.

That foreign presence in his cultivation base. The thing that wasn’t him making decisions.

And he couldn’t stop it.

Could only ride the wave and hope he retained enough self to stop before doing something irreversible.

Ren launched himself more chaotically against the nearest monsters after securing the breach.

Abandonment of control being obvious in how he moved without appropriate consideration of positioning or energy conservation. Violence that was instinctive.

It wasn’t defense anymore.

It was just pure and simple brutality. And it was consuming him.

The corruption fed on his power and his rage in equal measure.

And Ren kept killing.

Just kept killing until either the mutants were gone or he was something else entirely.

Whichever came first.

♢♢♢♢

Lin arrived after fighting her way through mutants interposing between her previous position and the place where Ren now operated.

The last part of the trajectory being marked by corpses of creatures he’d eliminated with brutal efficiency.

And she found Ren considerably more uncontrolled than he’d been when she’d seen him last, just moments before.

The difference was stark.

His movements were frantic, each strike landing with a force exceeding by much what was required.

And the black veins weren’t just visible. They were pronounced and prominent. Pulsing with wrong energy that made her senses recoil.

He wasn’t fighting mutants anymore. He was slaughtering them.

"Ren!" she called while positioning herself near him. Attempting to establish visual contact that could help anchoring his rationality. "You need to use a calmer pacing! You’re going to exhaust yourself long before the battle ends and you won’t be available when we need you the most!"

It was advice with solid tactical merit. And she had shouted his name in a manner that should’ve been reflexive. That should’ve triggered an automatic response through conditioning that made it instinct rather than conscious choice.

Yet, nothing...

She tried speaking to him again. But she was gradually realizing Ren didn’t stop for anything nor fully listen. Continuing his assault without pause suggesting he wasn’t appropriately processing communication.

He didn’t even acknowledge her presence. Didn’t look toward her voice and didn’t slow.

Just kept killing with a speed that would’ve been impressive if it wasn’t so terrifying.

This was worse than she’d thought.

Now there was almost nothing of Ren’s consciousness left. Just violence.

However, she noticed something else that was deeply disturbing in its implications.
