Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 329

Klein hesitated only for an instant before making his decision.

With no guard in sight and everyone apparently distracted by whatever was happening, it was the perfect moment to satisfy his curiosity and slight resentment.

He remembered perfectly where they had taken Kassian on the day of his own confinement. Unlike his comfortable quarters, the cell he had glimpsed for his older brother more closely resembled a crystal prison, guarded by two elite guards.

The contrast hadn't escaped his notice, at least it wasn't another example of the preferential treatment Kassian always seemed to receive.

Perhaps they would allow him to shout him a few things to understand the reason for the betrayal and then vent a little by yelling at him about how idiotic he had been.

In the worst case, they wouldn't let him, but he could ask them for food while shouting anyway. The thought brought a small, vindictive smile to his face.

He advanced stealthily through the deserted hallways, pressing himself against the walls. The area seemed strangely empty, as if much of the personnel had gathered elsewhere. The usual sounds of the academy… footsteps, distant conversations, the hum of mana in the walls, were eerily absent, creating an atmosphere of tense anticipation.

When he finally reached the corridor leading to Kassian's 'cell,' he was surprised to see that there was only one guard instead of two. And as he watched from the shadows, something even more unusual occurred.

The distant energy he had felt earlier suddenly intensified, doubling in power. The guard, visibly alarmed, abandoned his post and ran in the direction of the emanation's origin.

'What's happening?' Klein wondered, cautiously advancing toward the now unprotected door.

The powers continued fluctuating, multiplying in intensity until reaching levels that Klein had never experienced. For him to be able to feel them at such a distance, they must belong to extraordinarily powerful individuals.

'Father,' he thought instantly.

When the power presences finally stopped growing, Klein was already in front of Kassian's cell door. It was taller than he remembered, with a small slot at eye level to allow surveillance.

Driven by curiosity, Klein gave a small jump to reach the opening. What he saw on the other side left him perplexed.

Kassian sat in the center of the cell, eyes closed and an expression of intense concentration on his face. His fingers moved quickly and intricately, as if manipulating invisible threads. Klein blinked, focusing his vision, and suddenly he could see them… faint purple lines connecting to his brother's fingertips, extending toward somewhere beyond the walls, only to vanish seconds after forming.

Klein watched, fascinated, for several minutes. What was Kassian doing? Some kind of secret game? The purple threads seemed almost alive, writhing with a purpose he couldn't comprehend.

But indignation began to bubble inside him. While he 'suffered' the consequences, turned into a pawn in his brother's game, Kassian was just playing on his own, not even experiencing real punishment.

"Traitor!" The word escaped Klein's lips before he could contain himself, laden with bitterness and resentment. "You used me as a guinea pig and now you're wasting time! Do you know how many questions they asked me?"

Kassian's eyes snapped open, surprise quickly transforming into irritation at seeing his younger brother's face in the slot. The purple threads vanished instantly, though a faint glow lingered around his fingertips. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"Idiot, you're breaking my concentration!" he hissed, jumping to his feet in one fluid motion. "You could have ruined everything!"

Klein was about to reply when he noticed Kassian's expression changing again. A smile spread across his face, not warm or brotherly, but calculating, triumphant.

"Although there was enough time," he continued, approaching the door. "It seems we'll soon be released."

"Released? I'm already outside..." Klein hesitated, confused. "Wait, they'll let you out? How can you know that?"
