Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 314

Ren changed his strategy. Instead of continuing to cancel individual attacks, he began to emit pulses of light that expanded in concentric waves from his position.

The light waves momentarily transformed the battlefield, altering all shadows simultaneously. Luna was forced to forget about jumping, unable to predict where the new shadows would appear after each pulse.

"Hand-to-hand?" Luna pressed her lips together, visibly frustrated. She had never faced someone capable of manipulating her environment against her more than she and her team could. For the first time since obtaining her beast, she felt that her special ability was being truly countered.

She let out a short laugh, almost incredulous.

"Didn't you just say you weren't going to hit me? What are we doing here?"

"I won't," assured Ren. "I'm just going to stop the flow in your belly."

Luna's face immediately reddened. Instinctively, she covered her abdomen with both hands, stepping back. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"Pervert!" she exclaimed, with a mixture of indignation and embarrassment.

"What? That doesn't make sense... I'm not!" protested Ren, visibly alarmed by the accusation. "I already did it with Larissa, ask her and you'll see it's a valid way to take you down!"

From the stands, Larissa blushed violently as she remembered the moment, averting her gaze from the curious onlookers who turned toward her. In the upper box, Sirius Starweaver clenched his fists tightly, his normally impassive expression transforming into a mask of fury.

Luna evaluated her options. Continuing with her usual strategy would be useless against Ren's light manipulation. Although Ren's idea and declaration frightened her, only one viable alternative remained.

"Fine," she finally murmured. "But don't think I'm going to let you touch me or win."

Luna reabsorbed her shadow wolf, fusing completely with the beast and acquiring ears and tail.

She launched herself at Ren with everything she had, her speed increased by an impressive 90%. But to her surprise and frustration, Ren proved to be even faster, with a 120% increase thanks to his combination of beasts.

The exchange that followed demonstrated the difference not only in speed but in all enhancements including perception and, even more elevated, strength... Every time Luna attacked, Ren had already anticipated the movement by covering himself, dodging, and closing in.

Every time she tried to touch him, her reflexes were one step behind.

Soon she found herself in serious trouble, barely able to follow Ren's movements as he clearly sought to bring his 'playful' hands to her abdomen. With a particularly fast movement, Ren finally achieved his goal.

Almost...

Luna dodged most of the hand but felt two fingers passing her coverage and pressing lightly on her navel, touching her for just an instant, but enough for a strange sensation to course through her body.

Immediately, she noticed that the connection with one of her shadow claws had been cut. Panic invaded her for an instant, but was quickly replaced by the acute awareness that Ren had touched her abdomen.

Her face reddened again, this time more intensely. "D-don't do that!" she exclaimed, stepping back several paces as if she had received an electric shock.

From the stands, Min, Taro, and Liu simultaneously hit their foreheads. They had believed that Ren's warning about "canceling the flow in her abdomen" was simply a way of naming a combat technique or even a joke.

"Player Patinder strikes again," muttered Min with resignation.
