Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 945

Chapter 945: Chapter 945 - Taming Connection

Ren opened his eyes with difficulty...

Vision being initially blurry before focusing sufficiently to process his surroundings. He extended his hand toward Luna’s silhouette who was the first person he saw.

Reach being instinctive when recognizing a familiar presence providing a security anchor in a moment of extreme vulnerability. He wanted contact, confirmation this remained real. Needed knowing he was safe and among friends rather than still trapped in darkness.

"Luna..." Voice hoarse but recognizably his. "Did I...?"

Had he hurt anyone while corrupted?

Luna was already almost reaching him. The distance between them being only meters. Her hand extended to take Ren’s.

Maybe contact would be confirming he remained really okay and the rescue had been successful.

Relief was visible in her expression. Fears she’d been hiding melting away because he was alive and human... Himself.

"You’re okay," she said. A simple statement. But carrying the weight of ’everything’ unsaid.

Just a few more steps.

Just reach him and confirm through touch what her eyes could see.

That he’d survived.

That the nightmare was over.

But before they managed to touch...

Five enormous stakes erupted from the ground around Ren with great speed.

The eruption launched debris of earth and rocks in all directions. Projectiles being thrown with enough force obligating Luna to dodge, using a shadow jump at the last moment.

The skill deployed reflexively when recognizing that being hit by such large debris would cause serious damage. She vanished and reappeared several meters away. Safe but separated again.

Ren, still disoriented from the recent liberation from the corruption control, took considerably longer to react to the new threat.

He didn’t activate the spatial jump in time when normally it would’ve been his first response to the imminent danger.

The stakes closed around him with a specific movement coordination revealing they weren’t independent projections but components of a larger structure.

Not stakes at all..

But fingers of an enormous hand.

Or more appropriately a ’claw’, having emerged from the depths with the specific purpose of capturing a target it couldn’t permit escaping.

Five fingers... Each massive and tipped with something sharp. Each moving in a way suggesting intelligence directing them.

"REN!" Luna screamed.

Her shadow lunged forward, jaws opening to bite the fingers.

No damage...

It was the artifact that had been revived by the mutants in that last big attack.

Ancient technology being activated again to serve a purpose the civilization creating it probably hadn’t anticipated when its design was originally conceived.

Something so dangerous that an entire civilization had separated and built elaborate mechanisms to contain and suppress it. To ensure it could never threaten them again.

Ren tried escaping when he recognized he was about to be clasped.

He tried using his mana to manifest a spatial jump, extracting him from the trap.

Should’ve activated instantly.

Should’ve saved him like it had saved him dozens of times before.

But the claw canceled his mana.

That this was a cage designed to hold things far stronger than he was. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
