Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 287

Ren was too fast.

He connected a precise punch to the face of the nearest boy.

Vern fell unconscious, his centaur vanishing from the impact.

But the victory was brief.

Hector, seeing his companion fall, roared with fury. He instantly canceled the minotaur's struggle against the beetle and fused with the beam of light that was his beast, his body transforming into a smaller human version with several features of the creature.

He launched himself at Ren, who had barely landed after his attack on Vern.

"I've got you!" he shouted, his transformed fist heading directly toward Ren's side.

The blow connected with a loud crack. Hector smiled, sure of his victory, until he noticed Ren's expression as he rotated. There was no pain, only calm. And then…

Hector was surprised, as he looked at his own fist.

Ren's hydra had also returned to his body in a flash of light just in time, fully fused, covering his torso with diamond-like armor.

The translucent scales, supported by the power of the ring, gave him 140% extra defense and had absorbed the impact completely.

But the most alarming thing for Hector wasn't being unable to inflict damage… it was the pain now climbing up his arm. His knuckles were dislocated, some bones clearly fractured from the impact against something much harder than expected.

"My turn," said Ren, already executing his precise and devastating counterattack.

He spun, channeling the momentum of Hector's blow into his own movement, and connected a spinning kick that hit exactly on the jaw of the fused minotaur boy.

Hector collapsed, unconscious even before touching the ground.

Rosalind, the last one standing, assessed the situation with the characteristic coldness of her noble battle education. Her horse was still trapped by Taro, Min had reappeared behind her and now directed his snake toward her back, and Ren was turning in her direction with that calmness that was more intimidating than any battle cry.

But what finally sealed her decision was seeing the enormous beetle, now free from its confrontation with the minotaur, approaching her horse to trap it in mineral formations emerging from the ground.

With a sigh of resignation, Rosalind raised her hands. "I surrender."

Lin observed for a moment longer, ensuring that the combat had definitely ended, before raising her arm.

"Victory for Ren's team!" she announced, her professional voice barely concealing a tone of satisfaction.

The stands erupted in cheers and exclamations of amazement. What many had anticipated as a more complicated combat had again ended in less than a minute, a demonstration of effectiveness that few had seen in first-year students.

From her privileged position, Selphira Ashenway applauded with elegance, her eyes shining with pride, though no one knew exactly why.

Klein, observing from a secluded corner, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. The ease with which the Gray Wing team had dispatched companions from his inner circle was more than humiliating; it was a direct threat to his honor.

"It worked better than I expected," admitted Taro, flexing his fingers to relieve the tension from resisting the charge. "Though I almost lost my grip when the horse charged." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
