Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576: Chapter 576 - Taming the Fourth Year: Journey - 14

The guards, being dual tamers with a Gold rank beast, easily eliminated the first dozens of creatures.

Their powerful attacks tore through the Silver rank beasts like target practice.

But Julius could see that, just as had happened with the Golden Noses when they were overwhelmed by numbers and displaced despite their superior power, even the most powerful guards would eventually be pushed back by the insane quantity of enemies.

Their techniques were flawless, their teamwork perfect, but flesh and mana reserves had limits that numbers could exploit.

Despite Sirius launching attacks from the flanks, eliminating and dispersing many of the creatures as he advanced toward the Gold 3 ring, he couldn’t spend too much energy on the task.

The mutants had reached this point from Gold 3 after all. The quantity of creatures lost in the two forests populated by stronger beasts must have been enormous, yet despite those losses, the flow remained overwhelming. It spoke to their true numbers... an endless tide that could afford massive casualties and continue advancing.

Julius quickly returned his attention to Ren, who was watching the battle with a perplexed expression that mixed confusion with growing understanding.

"Now we really must go to the city," Julius declared firmly. "There’s nothing you can do if they’re not following you, is there?"

The initial motive for the operation with his friends had already failed. Sirius seemed to have left the range of the supposed seal that Ren had heard mentioned in that secret meeting. So perhaps it would be better to surrender what couldn’t be changed and return now to protect the city that housed his parents.

Although it pained him not to have been able to prevent the situation that saddened Luna, maybe protecting her in the city was already a better use of his time and energy. The letter in his pocket pressed against his chest like a huge weight.

Ren seemed about to accept, though he was still clearly confused by his apparent ability to hear the beasts but unable to use it for anything practical...

The connection he felt was real, but it offered no control, no influence.

And they weren’t seeking him specifically, that much was evident.

’Maybe if I found the big one from that day...’ he thought, remembering the one that had seemed to have higher hierarchy, that had attacked and controlled the smaller ones during their previous encounter. ’Julius saw it too so...’

But when he stopped wandering mentally and was about to ask Julius about his deduction of where the larger creature might be, a strange sensation swept through him.

The feeling was like tuning into a distant radio frequency, suddenly clear signals emerged from the background static of his consciousness.

"Julius!" he shouted suddenly, his voice cutting through the sound of distant battle. "We have to go back, but not to the city!"

"What do you mean?"

"We have to go to the area between the Bronze and Iron rings of Goldcrest territory, near where I used to live," Ren pointed back but angled to the right, his hand trembling slightly with the urgency of what he was sensing. "I’m feeling the same signals, the same ’voices’ that I sense here."

Julius immediately understood the implications. If Ren was correct, it meant there were also mutants coming from that direction, probably heading toward defenseless civilian populations from a much closer ring.

The area Ren mentioned was quite far away. Even at his Qilin’s maximum speed, they would take time to arrive. They might reach there too late to make any difference, arriving only to witness the aftermath of a massacre.
