Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949: Chapter 949 - Taming Longing

Ren felt it...

The sensation had no physical equivalent.

But it was deeply pleasant again. Like scratching an itch that had been bothering him for years.

And that made it worse. Because part of him wanted it. Wanted to finally be free, the restrictions broken and the limiters removed.

There was already sufficient space in the core’s rift for the interior luminosity trying to escape not to blind too much.

Selthia leaned forward and looked through the widened crack with the focused stillness of someone reading an important document. Her eyes sharpened... Then her expression changed.

Not rage. Something adjacent to it, but quieter and more specific...

The particular irritation of someone who has just discovered they arrived too late.

"So they were already using it," she murmured, more to herself than to him.

"Unexpectedly they gave priority to the birth rather than getting the food for it first... Morons."

She straightened slightly without releasing the crack, and Ren could see the exact moment when she reoriented the persuasion effort.

"The mutants have claimed more ground outside. Volume, connections, external architecture, we hold a huge advantage there, no question." She paused. "But this specific seed inside you, I have to agree, it’s a permanent advantage, that’s no longer ours to take. Seems your friend got you down there ahead of us and now it’s ruined."

She spoke with that almost academic calm Ren had noticed from the beginning. Without drama, without theatricality. Like doing inventory or analyzing a failed experiment among thousands of others.

Like processing data rather than experiencing emotion.

"At least we gained information." Her gaze moved briefly past him, toward something he couldn’t see. "Since there’s apparently nothing too important left for us beneath this castle... I only need to do one last thing before we move on to the other side and secure the half we need."

Her eyes came back to him, and there was something in them now that didn’t quite fit the rest of her composure. Something that hadn’t been there before. "One last thing... It’ll only take a moment."

Something approaching genuine emotion.

She thrust her arm through the crack.

Slowly... The careful delicacy of someone who doesn’t want to wake a guardian beast while poisoning its food. Her crystallized fingers moved toward the jade seed covered in pulsing golden light tendrils, visible now at the center of his core with a clarity that only existed in this interior space.

She almost reached it.

And the golden light detonated.

There was no warning.

No gradual intensity increase giving the girl time to withdraw her hand.

It went from sleep to absolute power in a fraction of a second, a concentrated pulse that expanded outward, fully and all at once, at a magnitude Ren had never seen in any skill from any tamer he’d ever met.

She was thrown backward.

It wasn’t a controlled flight. It was the kind of involuntary movement that happens when something fully outstrips the body’s ability to resist, completely and without negotiation.
