Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 946

Chapter 946: Chapter 946 - Taming Connection - 2

The claw’s arm continued rising from the ground.

Movement being relatively slow but inexorable as a complex structure emerged from the earth like having been concealing its total extension.

But instead of a body or head, more arms began appearing. Emergence revealing the first appendage wasn’t unique but part of a strangely similar group.

Six arms total manifested eventually... Three right handed, three left. Each terminating in a claw similar to one containing Ren and even two legs were added at the process’s end, the appendages being thicker than arms but following a similar design.

It was a construction reminiscent of a strange spider in general configuration. Though proportions and specific details diverged sufficiently that the comparison wasn’t at all perfect.

First, there was no thorax or opisthosoma/abdomen.

No normal anatomical structures.

The structure joining them was actually amorphous.

The union maintaining the 8 artifacts stuck to each other being provided by mutant bodies beginning to adhere when making contact.

They became a pulsing mass upon touching the artifacts. Tissue being transformed into a substance seeming more fluid than solid. An amalgamation filling spaces between the rigid components and providing cohesion converting a collection of parts into a unified organism.

It was wrong... Bodies weren’t meant bending that way, weren’t meant flowing or merging into a single mass that pulsed with combined heartbeats.

But they did it anyway.

The eight artifacts in the mutants’ power were finally together.

The result was this horror transcending a simple local threat and entering the territory of a nightmare that could destroy the entire city.

Inside Ren’s mind, the experience was now completely different from what external observers witnessed.

He wasn’t seeing the arena nor feeling physical pressure from the claw containing him. Instead he found himself in a space simultaneously familiar and alien.

A place he recognized as internal but having been altered in ways he didn’t completely understand.

It wasn’t the first time...

Not even much time had passed since last time darkness had trapped him here. They’d just saved him and already he was looking at this enormous dark space again.

What had once been an enormous library was now empty and lightless.

No books, no shelves and no knowledge preserved in physical form.

Just void... emptiness. Just architecture without purpose serving as a monument to what had been lost.

The library existed as a memory. As a hollow shell reminding him that something important had been here once.

But this time something was different from last time.

This time upon opening his eyes he saw a small girl nearby in a dimly lit corner.

White hair... Appearing approximately eleven years old. A small figure sitting still with her back turned while remaining curled into a ball. Arms wrapped around herself in a position communicating vulnerability.

It was somewhat familiar, and an image provoking protective instinct. Impulse to approach and provide comfort alleviating the obvious suffering.

She was crying, he could hear it... Quiet sobs, the kind of desperate sadness that came from being alone, from being trapped in darkness with no hope of escape.

And part of him wanted to help her.

But then the girl disappeared abruptly.

She interrupted herself abruptly. The final word remained incomplete when her attention was captured by something she noticed, something she was observing more carefully now.

She looked toward Ren’s chest with disconcerting focus intensity. And Ren felt strangely vulnerable under such scrutiny.

’Is there something strange about me?’

Looking down to see what had so completely captured the girl’s attention, he realized something making his discomfort increase considerably.

He was completely naked.

Hadn’t noticed clothing absence until the girl’s observation made him conscious of his present state. Revelation being belated in a manner that was more comic being followed by Ren awkwardly covering himself.

Perhaps he would’ve recognized the girl sooner if not for the genuine embarrassment he felt. Hard blaming him when the situation was particularly awkward considering it was quite a pretty girl seeing him in such a vulnerable condition.

Though suddenly he realized something fundamentally changing the discomfort’s nature.

The girl wasn’t looking at his body in a manner suggesting romantic or sexual interest. She only saw his chest specifically. Focus being directed toward an area apparently containing something interesting transcending simple physical anatomy.

Ren looked down again, the inspection being more careful this time to find exactly what the girl was observing with such attention.

And he discovered with shock he could no longer see his skin in an ordinary manner. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

His chest seemed to have become transparent. Solidity being replaced to reveal internal structures normally remaining hidden behind his flesh and bone.

He could see his tamer core with clarity impossible under normal circumstances.

Actually the entire system...

Mana center being visible in manner permitting direct observation of a configuration that no one or perhaps few in ancient history ever understood so explicitly.
