Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 46

’Brutal but effective,’ Ren thought as his mushrooms pulsed, analyzing the combat. ’Though Lin is right, that strategy only worked because it was a juvenile. Better to target the internal parts.’

"Next team!" Yang called out.

"Klein Goldcrest’s team," Yang announced. "With Feng Zhao and Astor Blackwood."

The Goldcrest heir stepped forward with the natural arrogance of nobility, his golden lion manifesting in brilliant patterns across his skin. The light caught the metallic sheen of his beast’s markings, creating an almost ethereal glow.

Feng, whose red cobra created scarlet scales along his neck, and Astor, with his rhinoceros’s bluish markings, flanked him with similarly aristocratic bearing.

"We won’t need heavy weapons," Klein declared while selecting a light short sword, the blade catching the morning light. "Our beasts are more than sufficient."

Feng chose a pair of daggers, their edges glinting dangerously, while Astor opted to take no weapon at all. His rhinoceros markings intensified, covering his arms with a bluish glow that promised raw power.

Unlike previous groups, these three had trained together since childhood.

Their beasts, all with high potential, complemented their styles naturally, the lion’s overwhelming presence, the cobra’s precision, and the rhinoceros’s raw strength forming a deadly combination.

The assistants released another Stone Lurker. The creature barely had time to camouflage before the team moved into action.

"Delta formation," Klein ordered without raising his voice. His companions positioned themselves instantly, Astor taking the front while Feng and Klein covered the flanks.

Their movements spoke of countless hours of practice.

Feng’s cobra allowed him to detect the creature’s body heat and through it, the thinner areas of its armor. His scarlet scales shimmered as he focused his beast’s sensory abilities.

"Thirty centimeters down, slightly left of the eye crack," Feng reported, his scales glowing brighter with certainty.

Astor advanced heavily, his rhinoceros manifesting in a controlled charge. The Stone Lurker attempted to jump at him, identifying him as an apparently smaller and weaker target than itself.

A grave mistake.

Klein’s golden markings blazed as his lion responded. A roar, amplified by his beast’s power, struck the Stone Lurker mid-leap. The sound wave made the stones on its body vibrate violently, creating weak points in its natural armor.

Before it could recover, Feng appeared at its side, his daggers shining with a poison skill, finding the points weakened by the vibration with snake-like precision.

The Stone Lurker tried to turn, but Astor was already there. His rhinoceros manifested a charge that, though contained, struck the creature with brutal power.

"Finish it," Klein ordered, his voice blending with a growl that carried his lion’s authority.

All three attacked simultaneously, Feng’s poison daggers finding vital points near the eyes, Astor’s charge holding the creature in position, and Klein’s final roar shattering what remained of its mineral armor before ending it with his sword.

The Stone Lurker collapsed without even having time to screech.

"Impressive coordination," Yang commented as assistants removed the body. "Though perhaps a bit... excessive in mana use for a juvenile."

"Excess is better than incompetence," Klein replied while sheathing his barely-used sword. His lion’s markings glowed with satisfaction. "Besides, we can use our skills five times without breaking a sweat."

"An interesting demonstration of those powerful beasts’ natural abilities," Lin added. "Though in a real situation, depending solely on their mana could be risky."
