Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 135

"You know what they told me, Klein?" Luna interrupted, her tone carrying childish disgust with an icy edge "That you’ve been going around talking about engagements and false promises. I don’t even like you!"

Klein visibly tensed. Feng and Astor exchanged confused looks.

The words struck harder than any physical attack, not because of Luna, but because of what they meant for the future hanging over his head.

His grandfather had been clear: without this engagement, their family’s position would weaken. His father counted on him, his mother had arranged so many social gatherings to prepare him...

In the stands, Kassian’s gaze sharpened, his attention suddenly focused like a predator sensing weakness.

"That cursed rotting boy," Klein growled, his lion manifesting more intensely. "He went running to tattle!"

A soft laugh floated through the mist. "Ren? Oh no, he has more class than you despite being a commoner. The academy is just full of attentive ears..."

A silhouette moved in the mist, imposing. For a moment it seemed to be Luna, but when Feng launched his beast’s acid, the figure vanished like smoke.

"You know what’s worse, Klein?" Luna continued, her voice now coming from another direction. "That you actually believe you’ll have any right over me."

"Shut up already!" Read new chapters at freewebnovel

Klein tried to maintain concentration while searching for the wolf in the mist.

"They told me you should be grateful because we’re trying to improve your family situation!" he roared into the fog. "Look, at least my beast is truly noble! From a fixed golden lion egg! Not a dirty shadow wolf obtained by pure luck!"

"Golden? Oh, Klein... your lion can’t even reach ’golden’ rank. And now it’s just an iron lion with a pretty shine. My ’luck’ will tear it to pieces."

"Watch out!" Astor blocked an attack from another angle. "They’re toying with us!"

Another silhouette appeared, more defined this time. Klein ordered Feng to attack, but again found only mist. The wolf then emerged from another point, its fangs grazing Feng’s leg before vanishing again.

Ren watched the mana silhouettes clearly moving in the haze while listening to Klein’s comment.

"You know," he remarked to Min and Taro, "it’s funny how everyone calls it a golden lion when it barely shines yellow. A normal ’golden’ tiger of his same iron rank would be physically more powerful. Jin’s is weaker in physical enhancement only because it’s a spiritual one."

The golden, no… yellow beast lunged toward where it thought it saw the wolf. Its claws cut only mist yet again.

"You know what’s the difference between you and me, Klein?" Luna’s voice came from everywhere and nowhere. "I fight for my freedom."

’No,’ Klein thought desperately. ’It can’t end like this. The promise to my father... the agreement...’

The figure in the mist, now clearly visible as the noble girl with the turtle, emerged with a powerful kick trying to knock Feng down just as the wolf attacked from the opposite side.

Astor barely managed to block both attacks, but the effort forced him back.

"Enough games!" Klein ordered his beast to attack the girl who had revealed herself.

"There it is," Luna murmured, her voice now laden with satisfaction. "The moment desperation makes you commit mistakes."

The wolf emerged like black lightning, its fangs heading directly for the lion’s flank.

But Klein also saw his opportunity in the ’mistake’.

Instead of ordering his beast to dodge, Klein himself lunged forward, grabbing the wolf with his own hands. The fangs sank into his shoulder, but he didn’t let go, blood beginning to stain his uniform.
