Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 160

Harold transformed his injured leg, flesh morphing into centipede segments. A power signature emerged from the shadows and his blood ran cold.

Luna.

Luna was here, standing before him.

’But then...’ his eyes widened in shock. ’Who did we capture?’

Moments earlier...

Luna raced toward the caves, her shadow wolf merging and reappearing as they advanced. If the energy disturbance came from below, it was the most logical place to search.

Everyone seemed to be heading in that direction.

But suddenly, her wolf’s ears drooped, and it whimpered softly.

Luna stopped, noticing how her beast seemed uncomfortable.

"What is it, did you hear something?" she whispered, kneeling beside her companion. The wolf’s dark fur rippled as shadows played across its form.

The wolf perked its ears, nose twitching as it caught something in the air.

Without warning, it turned and began guiding Luna in the opposite direction, toward the iron rank students’ food storage.

When they entered, the place appeared empty.

Shadows stretched between old containers and boxes, but Luna could see clearly, though there were no signs of movement.

The wolf, however, insisted.

Its nose worked frantically until it caught a particular scent. But suddenly, the beast recoiled, whimpering in pain. Its eyes began to water.

Luna caught the scent then too, a nauseating smell that seemed to contaminate the very air. Her eyes traced the trail to an opened box.

"The bean preserves," she muttered while quickly closing the box, wrinkling her nose at the pungent aroma.

After a few moments, when the air cleared somewhat, the wolf resumed sniffing. This time it led them to the corner where the old barrels rested, its nose moving with renewed determination.

Luna carefully observed the area. Something wasn’t right.

Her fingers brushed the wall and found a strange texture, a flexible covering that shouldn’t be there.

When she pulled it away, a wave of mana energy hit her with such intensity she nearly stepped back.

’They didn’t enter through the mines,’ she realized with horror.

Hurried footsteps resonated above their heads, someone on the upper floor had sensed the disturbance too when she unblocked it.

Moments later, two perception auxiliaries rushed down the stairs.

"Lady Luna!" one of them approached quickly. "The energy..."

"Here," Luna pointed to the hidden tunnel. "Someone has been digging."

One of the auxiliaries immediately left to inform the director and reinforcements. The other, an earth specialist, began examining the tunnel.

"I’ll go in, wait here..."

"I have to enter with you," Luna insisted. "My cousins could be down there."

"Lady Luna, I cannot allow…"

"I’m not asking permission," her eyes glowed dangerously. "I’m going in. You can come with me or stay here."

The auxiliary hesitated before nodding resignedly. "At least let me check the path first... I’ll take the front."
