Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

Chapter 305 - Tamer’s Battle Week - 41

What happened next left a large part of the audience impressed. The water from Minʼs two creatures combined, forming a spiral, and didnʼt even manifest as a simple elemental counterattack. Instead, it acquired an ethereal quality, very similar to that needed to execute healing, as it collided with Lioraʼs flames.

Instead of generating steam and dissipating, the water seemed to combine with the fire, neutralizing it in a way that defied conventional physics. The flames extinguished as if the sum of the two energies equaled zero.

The fire and water simply disappeared.

”Impossible!” Liora exclaimed to Ren, her surprise evident. ”You said my fire couldnʼt be extinguished with water!”

”I said black fire could not be extinguished with ordinary water,” replied Ren, allowing himself a brief smile. ”But your fire isnʼt completely black yet, and I taught Min a trick to attack the ʼnegative spiritual propertiesʼ of black fire.”

Lioraʼs expression changed from surprise to irritation and then reluctant respect. ”Clever,” she murmured, preparing for another attack.

But the moment of confusion had cost Larissaʼs team their initial advantage. Taro had already directed his Living Tunnel to expand its area of influence, creating minerals in the ground. The earth rippled and shifted as crystalline structures began to form on the surface.

Min, now visibly the central part of the strategy as the groupʼs defender, maintained his control over water with a precision that nobody had seen him demonstrate previously. His amphibian and water snake worked in perfect harmony, their powers amplifying each other in ways that made the water move like a living entity.

Although perhaps the show of water figures in the air was not necessary for the fight...

”Plan C!” Larissa indicated to her team, quickly adapting to the situation where they had expected Ren to surprise them and Lioraʼs fire wasnʼt as relevant as they had anticipated.

Larissa tried to counteract Taroʼs mineral formations with her own control, attempting to prevent the construction of a defensive structure that would give them an advantage. Golden light flashed from her hands as she manipulated the earth to push back against Taroʼs influence.

But the Gray Wing team seemed to have anticipated this too. Taro, instead of defending his structures that were beginning to rise, allowed Maria and Larissa to destroy them or return them to the ground, only to focus on expanding the affected area even further around them.

Larissa realized that Taro was enlarging the area with a bias toward Liora... They wanted to trap her to make some weird move that Ren had developed, no doubt. Or so she thought.

On the other hand, the girls had to finish Min somehow.

Larissa activated Plan C first, the ʼChargeʼ plan... And she launched herself in a direct jump against Min. If she could take him down, it would be exactly like the situation with Kleinʼs team.

However, Ren was a much bigger problem than expected, one that could only be understood by experiencing it.

Renʼs senses, enhanced to more than double, and his super-sensitive mana eyes calculated almost perfectly the final location of the jump. If not for Larissaʼs lynx and its almost full mana pool for generating a second jump out of range almost instantly...

Renʼs almost instantaneous attack would have knocked her out of the battle. Eliminating Min would be much more difficult than expected.

But it was that Min himself who truly shone in this combat. His water control, empowered by the synergy between his amphibian and his snake, allowed him to create formations that not only counteracted Lioraʼs fire but also hampered the opposing teamʼs movements with constant distance attacks.

”That canʼt be Min!” exclaimed Mayo from the stands. ”Since when can he do all that?”

As if mocking the doubts, the boy answered in the form of an impressive spectacle. Min, centralizing all his liquid, created a series of water spears that rose like serpents before converging toward a single point. The combined impact directly hit Maria, who had been focused on destroying another of Taroʼs mineral formations approaching Liora.

The armadillo armor absorbed much of the impact, but the force was enough to send Maria rolling several meters across the arena floor, leaving a trail in the dirt.

”Maria!” exclaimed Larissa, momentarily distracted.

That second of distraction was all Ren needed. With supernatural speed, he launched directly toward Liora, his light claws manifesting in full movement, trailing luminescent streaks through the air.

But Liora and Larissa instantly realized that error...

Ren had been too confident and hasty in leaving Min alone. An instant before Ren reached Liora, both cousins jumped next to Min.

But Taro hadnʼt prepared his enormous amount of crystals for nothing. While Liora could melt them and Larissa cancel them, the structure wouldnʼt fall instantly. Taro sent all his energy to the ground the instant Ren jumped and, as they had planned, suddenly raised the mineral.

The slow formations from before had been only Renʼs planned deception. They could be way faster…

The mineral quickly covered Min, and in the trajectory of Renʼs jump, a stalagmite appeared. Ren propelled himself with it and destroyed it with the powerful thrust of his legs. The rebound returned him to Minʼs side in what could be, at short distance, almost as fast as the girlsʼ jumps.

Trying to take advantage of the moment to finish Min, the girls didnʼt expect Ren to arrive in less than a second. When they felt Ren next to them, it was already too late.

Ren covered Larissaʼs eyes before they could execute another jump and stretched his hand to reach Liora too, but her jump with the new fire was faster.

Taro covered Larissa with mineral and earth, trapping her in a crystalline cage.

Liora, seeing that Min was inside the mineral defense, redirected her attack from a few meters away while Ren was busy containing Larissa so she would be completely trapped with her eyes still closed.

Lioraʼs fire tried to embrace Ren, but Taro covered him just in time. However, Lioraʼs wide attack razed a complete section of the field.

Taking advantage of all this, Maria had gotten up and launched herself against the crystal prison containing Larissa and Min, who were together. Ren finally could release Larissa, as she was fully trapped now, and launched to stop Maria… but when he caught Maria in a hold, reluctant to knock her out abruptly, the maid separated from her beast and sent her armadillo to break the prisons.
