Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594: Chapter 594 - Taming the Swarm - 9

Aldric was the first to speak, his voice carefully controlled as someone who had spent decades navigating political defeats. "Lady Luna, it seems I... misunderstood the situation. Of course, I’ll be delighted to coordinate under your territorial authority."

Morgain clenched her fists, the gesture visible despite her attempts to maintain diplomatic composure, but nodded stiffly. "My soldiers will withdraw from your territory immediately."

The reversal was complete, but everyone present understood it was built on a foundation of force rather than genuine respect.

"God," Luna murmured once they had moved away from the defeated nobles, "I hope I know what I’m doing, because now I’m officially known as a dual tamer without father’s backing. If the other branch of my family decides to use this to their advantage..."

Larissa approached and placed a firm hand on Luna’s shoulder, the gesture carrying weight beyond simple comfort. "Then we’ll be there to face them too."

Liora raised her hands dramatically. "Yeah relax, and you know what? I think I like this new version of politics. It’s much more direct than all that dance and courtesy garbage."

Luna laughed, though the sound carried as much tension as relief. The reality of what she had just done was settling in like cold water. "Liora, you just turned diplomacy into a combat sport."

"So? It worked, didn’t it?"

Larissa looked at her two friends and felt something she hadn’t experienced in months: joy. Not just for Luna, but for herself. She had managed to face a complex political situation without falling apart, had used her knowledge to help a friend, and had emerged from the suffocating safety of the castle into the world where she could make a difference.

But she was still afraid. She still sensed the weight of what she had lost. She still didn’t know if she was ready to face him and...

It was then that the ground shook.

The tremor wasn’t like the constant vibration of combat, this was different, deeper, carrying the promise of something big approaching. On the horizon, a massive silhouette became visible.

Another corrupted artifact was approaching, and this time Luna had command. If she couldn’t stop it and the wall broke, the failure would be hers.

"Well," Luna murmured, observing the threat approach with the weight of newfound responsibility settling on her shoulders, "I suppose now we’ll see if I deserve this territory after all..."

The ice mountain wouldn’t hold much longer...

The second crack was barely audible above the constant roar of lesser mutants crashing against the wall’s defenses. Ren felt the third crack before hearing it, a vibration that traveled through his elemental connections with earth and ice... and something more.

"They’re sacrificing half their life energy into the artifacts to break free," he murmured, pointing toward the crystalline mountain containing the two giant abominations.

From atop the wall, Julius watched the cracks spreading like spider webs across the frozen surface, each fracture glowing with internal corruption that pulsed like a heartbeat.

"What other method do we have to stop them?" Zhao asked, his wings already deploying in preparation for combat that felt increasingly inevitable.

Selphira, slightly exhausted from her previous effort, studied the situation with eyes that had seen too many battles to feel optimism about their current options. "I can’t make anything much more resistant with what I have left. I used thirty percent just in that attempt."
