Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Chapter 424 - Tamers War - Resonance

Kharzan knew attacking indirectly was risky.

If Sirius managed to bring down too many monsters before falling or escaping, his soldiers’ damage capacity would fall dramatically for maybe even days. Even more so when beasts were generally clumsier when not receiving direct orders inside their tamer.

But he considered that being so many against just one, Sirius would surely have to retreat and finally allow the advance.

’Let’s see if your conceited individual power can handle overwhelming numbers,’ he thought while his beasts began their advance toward where Sirius was preparing for another bombardment.

The air filled with roars, hisses, and other varied sounds of massive beasts moving toward battle. It was a rarely used and frowned-upon tactic in military confrontation... But facing an army with a single person wasn’t exactly common either.

And if it worked, Kharzan would finally have a clear path to reach and support efforts at the bridge.

Sirius had launched his fourth attack, concentrated energy streaking through the air like a bolt of pure destruction. But when it impacted against the reformed wall that enemy forces had rebuilt, he realized something different.

When his energy destroyed the earth defenses, it didn’t continue inward to generate disaster among the troops as had happened in previous attacks. Instead, something had countered the remaining energy of his attack after it broke through the initial defenses.

It was there, in the great gap he had just formed, that he realized what had interfered.

An enormous creature had emerged to block his attack.

From the gap emerged a massive Golden Lion, its mane shining with power that rivaled his own attack. Two corrupt creatures followed, an Abyssal Scorpion and a Blood Man o’ War, each radiating the characteristic purple energy of abyssal corruption.

And behind them, hundreds of lesser creatures flew toward positions in the remaining barrier and from the rear guard.

’It seems Kharzan is ready to abandon decorum,’ Sirius thought with disgust, ’and ask his dirty pets to do the work in his place.’

It was something common in the Goldcrest circle... boasting that their direct input wasn’t necessary thanks to the "high quality" of their beasts, which could work alone without constant tamer supervision.

"Laziness and cowardice," Sirius spat, though he recognized the effectiveness of the maneuver in this situation.

But his culture dictated that the method would never stop bothering him. First of all, their beasts weren’t of the best qualities as the Goldcrests presumed.

Not even the 3 family’s best beast by standard... since Sirius was above them.

The "Royal" Golden Lion was one level below his Celestial Tiger, not having reached Gold 3 like his own main beast. Sirius had the larger and more powerful creature of the two in terms of rank and power.

Although many would argue that Kharzan’s secondary beast, the Corrupt Simurgh, was better than his Black Serpent due to being Gold rank.

Sirius thought the synergy between his beasts was superior to Kharzan’s despite this. His creatures had been trained to work in perfect coordination, while Kharzan’s beasts operated more through individual domination.

But now there was no time to compare public opinion of different factions. He had to think quickly about a much more important decision:

Would he retreat or stay to try to defeat the enormous quantity of beasts deploying before him?

Of course, it would benefit him to bring down as many beasts as possible. The tamers of those creatures would be left powerless for more than a full day after losing high-level beasts, just when they would need them most.

But the question was whether Sirius would truly be capable of bringing them all down. If not he would be tired and in trouble.

The attack he had just used was powerful, and although it wasn’t his most destructive attack, at least it had a good cost-benefit ratio. It was something he could repeat several times without exhausting quickly.

Yet if he increased power significantly, he would spend much more stamina and mana from his beast... resources he couldn’t afford to waste on a delaying mission for a march that promised to be prolonged.

’But if I could eliminate all those beasts...’

The problem was also that even increasing his power to maximum, there was no guarantee he would effectively bring down even the Lion since it had support from other creatures.

Kharzan’s Lion’s Roar, while less potent than his own Light and Wind Storm, could undoubtedly almost completely cancel his attack if coordinated appropriately.

Sirius retreated slowly while calculating pros and cons, probabilities of success versus cost of failure. The beasts advanced to not give him time.

He used all his mental power to analyze all possibilities as fast as possible.

Then he stopped when thinking of Luna.

His daughter, in territory that could become an active war zone if this battle prolonged. The one who carried his family’s legacy... a legacy that depended on him making correct decisions to protect perhaps not only his remaining family, but maybe his entire kingdom.

There was no choice. He could only give everything and try to win.

Sirius powered his Celestial Tiger to the limit, feeling how pure energy ran through his veins like liquid fire. His Black Serpent emerged completely from the shadows.
