Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 399 - Tamers War - The Immortal (1/2)

Longevity was undoubtedly costly...

The combination of the Black Turtle and White Serpent was the pinnacle of Vitality enhancements, and Selphira had managed by luck to bring both to ranks never before achieved.

Enormous luck... Unfortunately in a chaotic youth. She hadn’t catalogued her chaotic and unorthodox numerous "small changes" to the family cultivation methods.

Her first children had lived long and full lives, dying of old age in their beds surrounded by their own grandchildren.

A family with long histories, most showing complications in health or mind only after 200 years.

It had been painful, but eventually she managed to accept it as natural.

Time heals everything...

She seemed to have too much of it. But it was something she understood and could accept.

But then her grandchildren had died, and her great-grandchildren, each generation adding new branches to the family tree until she had become not just matriarch, but an almost mythical figure for the younger generations.

Already 300 years and her health and mentality seemed perfect... Even her relatives with Silver rank turtles couldn’t come close.

Even with 300% extra Vitality at Silver 3, it didn’t seem to translate to much more than 250 years of life... their minds simply couldn’t bear the enormous "history of their lives".

Mental fatigue, increased sleep, those gradually claimed them in the end. The quiet death.

But after 500%, something strange seemed to happen... A wall seemed to fall.

Selphira had a Vitality enhancement of 860% upon completely finishing her cultivation.

For three centuries she had been too busy to adopt more ’childrens for the future’.

The family had grown so much that it required her constant attention, mediating disputes, guiding important decisions, ensuring the legacy remained intact.

There was no successor.

But gradually, as the large family took on more responsibilities, she had found herself with free time she hadn’t had in dozens of decades.

And then had come the last abyssal wave, thirty years ago.

The sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor interrupted her reflections. She knew those steps... urgent, determined, with a touch of arrogance that made her sigh internally.

"Mother!" Leonel’s voice echoed through the hallway before he appeared in the doorway. "Where are you going?"

Selphira turned slowly, studying her adoptive son’s face. At 35 years old, Leonel had grown into an imposing man. His beasts were the same turtle and serpent, having both simultaneously was rare even in the family, very difficult to obtain and cultivate... Yet they had evolved magnificently to Silver 2 and 3 ranks. The markings in his hair and arms spoke of genuine power.

’They were so similar to my first children,’ she thought, remembering how the first fruits and seeds of her family tree had come into her life centuries ago. ’That same mix of vulnerability and attachment.’
