Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 162

"Don’t play dumb, she’s not from a rich family!" one of the guards shouted, her voice charged with indignation. "Larissa is the King’s daughter!"

Ren almost lost control of his light claws. Cold sweat began running down his back as the pieces clicked into place in his mind, the connection with Julius, the resemblance he had noticed but ignored...

’Oh no.’ The thought hit him like a hammer. ’Did I just rough up a real princess?’

Ren swallowed hard, remembering how roughly he had manipulated her mana flow.

"Was that your objective from the start?" the guard pressed, her wolverine growling menacingly. "The artifact? Or perhaps you saw an opportunity to capture one of the girls? Or all three?"

The wolverine began circling them while her companion continued: "The King’s daughter and the heiresses of two of the kingdom’s three most important families aren’t just any target... we have many ways to recover them. Did you think you could simply take them and run?"

"No! It’s not what you think!" Ren shook his head frantically, his voice echoing off the metallic walls. "It’s a misunderstanding! I just…!"

The distraction cost him dearly. The wolverine seized his moment of panic to charge with all its might, sending him flying against one of the metal walls with a resounding crash.

Min and Taro exchanged a brief look before simultaneously throwing themselves to the ground, their foreheads hitting the metal with a hollow thud.

"We’re so sorry!" they shouted in unison, faces pressed against the cold floor. "We had no idea!"

"I thought they were just normal noble girls!" Min whimpered, his snake coiling nervously around his arm.

"I believed royalty never left the castle!" Taro added, his voice trembling. Your next read awaits at freewebnovel

Larissa seized the moment to break away from Min, running toward where her guards waited. Once they had her behind them, the agents’ demeanor changed completely.

"Enough games," the wolverine guard growled, her beast tensing for attack. "Time to end these filthy spies."

With Taro and Min prostrate on the ground, practically defenseless, the guards saw their opportunity. The wolverine launched itself at Taro, his armor would only protect him from fatal damage for so long.

The other guard moved like a shadow toward Min, her mineral claws gleaming with lethal intent.

Min didn’t even have time to look up.

Ren, barely recovering from the previous impact, saw the claws descending toward his friend.

Something ignited inside him.

His mushrooms pulsed with unprecedented intensity, feeding pure light into his crystalline defense.

He leaped with all his strength to the limit.

The light claws in his hands stretched, reaching greater length while barely managing to interpose between Min and the attack at the last moment.

The clash was brutal. The guard’s mineral claws shattered on contact with Ren’s concentrated light, brilliant fragments raining onto the metallic floor.

The guard retreated, her eyes wide with surprise as she stared at her destroyed weapons.

Ren’s gaze hardened.
