Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583: Chapter 583 - Taming the Fourth Year: Journey - Struggle - 2

A moment of tension stretched, seconds feeling like hours.

Then, the tutor whispered, without turning toward the niche where they were hiding:

"Larissa needs her friends now. Enough of suffering alone."

The girls exchanged looks of silent shock. The tutor knew they were there? Had their infiltration been compromised or was this something else entirely?

The answer...

"Perhaps going out to get some sun and see the world she’s missing would help her," the woman continued in the same low tone, her voice seeming worried for that someone who had withdrawn too far into herself. "Though not too far, because of the crisis and all that."

She made a significant pause. Then again...

"The tower roof is always free at these hours. The views of the city and its academies are... educational."

The footsteps resumed, moving away down the hallway. The tutor never turned toward where they were hidden, maintaining the fiction that she hadn’t felt anything. Her discretion was a gift wrapped in plausible deniability.

Luna waited until the footsteps faded completely before emerging from the niche, her muscles cramped from the tension of forced stillness and worry.

"Do you think it’s a trap?" Liora whispered, her voice barely audible as she scanned the empty corridor for signs of approaching guards.

Umi shook her head slowly. "Her voice... it sounded genuinely worried about Larissa."

Luna approached Larissa’s chamber door, processing what had just happened. The tutor had had the perfect opportunity to maybe scream and alert the guards, to end their infiltration before it could accomplish anything. Instead, she had offered useful information and a way to approach their friend without any confrontation.

"At least now we know we’re not the only ones who need help," Liora murmured while stepping forward before Luna and placing her hand on the door handle.

Julius’s energy exploded like an earth supernova.

Enormous walls grew instantaneously around the combat area, their surfaces covered with spikes that moved like they were living entities. Tons of earth and stone reshaping themselves, but not according to his will...

He wasn’t controlling the individual movement of the spikes, his control was enormous but not to that point.

However, he wasn’t alone. His duplicated beast was the one who manipulated these formations with great power and speed, making them grow and shrink in rhythmic waves that punctured any mutant creature attempting to cross the impromptu barrier. The coordination between tamer and beast created a defensive system that was both beautiful and terrifying to witness.

"My fusion won’t last much longer!" Julius shouted while maintaining his massive earth control, sweat streaming down his face as the strain of channeling such enormous power took its toll. "Let’s finish the fight now and prepare to flee from the wave!"

His control was enormous, but he could also feel energy draining at an alarming rate. Each meter of wall expansion outward and each wave of spikes required more concentration, each adjustment in the walls demanded more power. It was like conducting a symphony while lifting mountains.

Liu immediately coordinated with his duplicated beast too. Devastating sound waves emerged from two points simultaneously, creating a destructive interference that amplified the damage exponentially. The waves found resonances in the abomination’s structure, causing multiple sections to crack and fragment at the same time.

Taro and his duplicated beast suppressed the leg movements alone as they surpassed the previous control that the two guards had helped maintain. With Mako switching to using her evolved ambusher to harden the earth Taro controlled even further, the stability of his formations multiplied exponentially.

Shizu took advantage of being freed from suppressive responsibilities to go completely on the attack, her enormous earth Wolverine now the same size and rank as Julius’s, destroying already damaged plates with brutal assaults.

Zhao maintained his assault of feathers with incredible power, speed, and precision at each core that was exposed by Shizu’s attacks, taking advantage of the cracks from Liu’s sonic blows and the holes created by Ren’s attacks.

His marksmanship was legendary for good reason, every projectile found its mark without fail, threading even through the defensive gaps that existed for mere fractions of a second.

And while he concentrated on the main mutation...

His duplicated beast, the owl-raptor with hardened feathers sharp as blades, flew high to circle Julius’s wall and systematically eliminate the "few" mutations that managed to overcome the waves of spikes.

The owl-raptor spun in the air at enormous speeds, its wings cutting through the wind while keeping at bay what looked like a growing tide of horrible beasts constantly emerging from more and more underground tunnels.

Min maintained a defensive position, conserving what little energy he had left for medical emergencies.

Ren maintained constant offense, but still avoided using his complete fusion since at Julius and Zhao’s request he would be part of the evacuation effort at the end. However, his attacks still gradually gained power as the corrupt roots in his system tried to grow, but this time he had much more control, channeling that energy into his elemental techniques instead of allowing it to spread uncontrollably.
