Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 166

The headache persisted after Liu’s sonic attack, but Harold ignored it through sheer willpower as his transformed body moved with supernatural speed. The metallic floor beneath his feet hummed with energy as he darted between his opponents.

His two beasts gave him an overwhelming advantage against the lower-ranked guards, who were clearly trained for support roles rather than direct combat. Even against five opponents, the battle remained evenly matched, though only through his monstrous power.

Luna’s wolf and the Giant Goat charged in a coordinated pincer attack, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Harold spun, his chitinous segments gleaming in the strange light while his antennae captured every movement. His transformed arm struck the wolf, sending it crashing against a wall while he dodged the goat’s charge.

The beasts rose more slowly than before, accumulated damage beginning to show in their labored movements and dulled reactions.

"Containment!" one of the guards shouted, her voice echoing off the curved crystal walls.

The Antenna Venus extended more of its roots, creating a network of vines attempting to limit Harold’s movement space. Simultaneously, the Bubble Coral generated strategically positioned crystalline barriers, forming an improvised labyrinth.

’They’re trying to buy time,’ Harold analyzed while his antennae mapped each obstacle with inhuman precision. ’But their vanguard is trapped in the ruins...’

The Ambush Firefly took advantage of the Coral’s reflective surfaces to multiply its light attacks. The rays bounced between barriers, creating a network of luminous energy that would have been lethal to a normal opponent, each beam ricocheting through the improvised arena.

But Harold was far from normal. His chitinous armor, hardened by abyssal energy, barely showed surface marks where the rays impacted, the attacks dissipating harmlessly against his supernatural defense.

The wolf attempted another attack, emerging from a shadow to bite his leg. Harold kicked it with brutal force, his antennae already detecting the goat trying to capitalize on the distraction. He spun using the momentum from striking the wolf and connected a punch to the transport beast’s side.

"We can’t contain him!" the Coral guard shouted while creating more barriers, her voice tight with strain.

The Venus’s roots extended more aggressively, trying to create zones where Harold couldn’t move freely. But his chitinous claws cut through the vegetation like paper, green fragments flying in the air around him.

The Firefly increased the intensity of its attacks, making the crystal barriers practically sing with bouncing energy. It was a beautiful and lethal spectacle, light fragmenting and multiplying through the crystalline maze, but still insufficient against Harold’s supernatural defense.

Luna directed her wolf trying to capitalize on every opening her guards created, but each successful attack barely scratched the surface of Harold’s armor. And with each exchange, their beasts showed more signs of exhaustion, their movements becoming slower and less coordinated.

’If this were about escaping,’ the Antenna Venus guard thought while Harold destroyed another barrier, ’we’d be far away by now.’

But she couldn’t abandon her companions trapped in the seed nor her protection mission.

While the guards couldn’t defeat him, Harold also couldn’t simply ignore them and continue his way, a moment of carelessness against five opponents, however individually weak, could be fatal.

The wolf emerged from another shadow, this time targeting his neck. Harold caught it mid-air with one hand, but had to release his grip when the goat rammed his side. The Venus’s roots took advantage to entangle his legs while the Firefly concentrated its attacks on his eyes.

Harold broke free with a burst of strength, but the pattern repeated itself, for every offensive movement he made, the guards responded with a combination of defensive tactics and opportunistic counterattacks.

It was an exhausting stalemate, where the only real difference was that the guards’ beasts gradually tired while he maintained his monstrous power practically intact.
