Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 942

Chapter 942: Chapter 942 - Tamed by Fire

Lin didn’t understand what had happened exactly.

Confusion being amplified by the speed with which the situation had changed from crisis to... something different that seemed equally urgent.

She got distracted observing the exchange to the point where she didn’t notice the mutant approaching her from the right flank.

The creature exploiting the moment of inattention to close a distance that normally would’ve already obtained Lin’s attention.

It wasn’t particularly dangerous despite everything...

She would’ve easily eliminated it if it got closer. Her reflexes being sufficient to respond before any Silver-rank threat materialized into real damage.

But she didn’t get the opportunity to demonstrate it because someone eliminated it first.

Intervention being so fast the mutant fell before Lin could appropriately react. A corpse hitting ground while Lin was still turning toward the threat that no longer existed.

Luna appeared from the shadows after having used the enormous wolf jaws that were only partially manifested.

The creature being barely visible and mostly non-solid in a new manner communicating Luna was also conserving energy now, avoiding the complete manifestation of her beasts to steer clear of future mana shortages threatening all defenders.

It was the same logical conservation sacrificing some elimination speed in favor of sustainability.

"Seems Liora found her balance and then the way to ’burn’ corrupt energy," Luna commented with her classic pretend monotone that was almost conversational despite the battle context surrounding them.

It was a small summary providing a partial explanation of what they’d just witnessed. Though specific details were still missing for complete comprehension.

Lin remained mostly confused while Luna continued directing her shadow to eliminate other approaching mutants.

"What exactly is happening?" Lin asked, demanding clarification without being discourteous about the urgency she felt.

She needed to understand so she could adapt... Could help.

Luna explained while maintaining divided attention between combat and conversation.

"Ren wasn’t the only one losing control, that’s why we couldn’t come sooner. At least the desperate strategy he and Liora employed served to reduce pressure on defenders momentarily. Especially Ren... seems his aggressive absorption eliminated sufficient mutants that it even created a small respite our defensive lines needed for reorganizing."

She paused to eliminate two more creatures before continuing.

"But we couldn’t let him continue like that after seeing what almost happened to Liora when she was also absorbing corrupt energy without appropriately expelling it."

It was another reference to the event happening on the other side of the defensive circle that Lin hadn’t directly witnessed.

"While you were trying to reason with Ren," Luna elaborated, "Larissa and I had to ’purify’ Liora with our water and light mana because corruption was seriously affecting her. Things were getting ugly until Larissa gave her some ’loving strikes’ of intense light so she’d come to her senses."

It was a very Luna-style direct description communicating the important parts in this urgent context. No embellishment or drama. Just facts presented efficiently so understanding could be achieved quickly.

Finch and Theodore, that were now trying to maintain the non combatants entertained to avoid further panic and chaos, would be sad at that...

But the image was clear enough.

Liora had lost control like Ren and Larissa ended up literally beating sense back into her ’sister’ through elemental attacks.

It wasn’t something easy to understand for tamers without spiritual beasts. But the spiritual nature of Liora’s fire helped her find an ’expulsion’ route for corruption that the incomplete and relatively new and unadapted network of mutants can’t counter.

Liora’s spiritual core was separated from her normal mana core. Though they occupy the same space in a dynamic that’s quite strange when trying to conceptualize it.

It was a specialization coming from the unique path Liora followed with her spiritual beasts. But not only that...

Liora was brilliant when it came to ’managing emotions’... She still was an adolescent, a ball of chaotic feelings and passion, but in the confines of that she was a genius of picking great choices.

She didn’t just have the most mature emotional relationship with Ren. She had it with her beasts, her energy and her life in general despite her obscure family situation.

It was a ’skill’ that went beyond combat power. Into territory that most tamers never even considered because they treated bonds as ’limbs’ rather than relationships.

"In the end the light helped her and she managed to control the huge energy her now too big serpent absorbed with her Will o Wisp’s fire. Seems she just had to expel it somehow before it became too much."

Luna summarized it simply. But the implications were enormous. If Liora could help Ren control his energy somehow now that she understood it better, they could use it to their advantage.

And the general situation against mutants would likely improve considerably.

It was a most wishful rather than logical conclusion Lin immediately went for.

But it was way better than the solution she’d contemplated, fusion and mutually destructive fight, that now might not be necessary if this different approach worked.

Hope... Actual hope. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Maybe they wouldn’t all die here. Maybe they could actually win.
