Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 62

Zhao didn't hesitate, the moment of surprise was all he needed.

"Keep them safe!" he ordered the auxiliary with the calcium-plated snail, just as he launched himself toward the group of attackers.

The other three auxiliaries followed his lead, each moving with practiced coordination. Their beasts manifested fully.

The wind lynx bearer moved like a gust toward the enemy on the left, his claws gleaming in the darkness. The beast's speed made him almost invisible to the untrained eye.

The boar bearer charged against the fire wielder, his defensive plates shimmering against the first corrupt flames. Each step was measured, calculated to close the distance while minimizing exposure.

The third auxiliary, his bronze hawk manifesting in copper patterns across his skin, intercepted another enemy on the left.

Zhao faced the remaining four, including the leader. His silver feathers danced between his fingers, each one humming with power.

The black figures finally dropped their hoods, revealing the true abominations beneath... forms of the abyssals. Their skin shared that disturbing purple tone that marked their chaotic species from the depths. Each one was a unique nightmare made flesh.

The first had tentacles emerging from its back, each moving with its own will, its purple skin pulsing with darker veins that seemed to writhe beneath the surface. The appendages twisted and coiled like living ropes.

The second appeared to be a grotesque fusion of giant salamander and crocodile, its slimy skin gleaming wetly in the moonlight. Scales and smooth flesh merged in weird patterns.

The third maintained a vaguely humanoid form, but parts of its body melted and reformed constantly, like molten purple wax dancing to some alien rhythm. Its shape was never quite the same from one moment to the next.

The leader was a nightmare given form, an arachnid creature whose face split into three distinct mouths, one central and two on the sides of the jaw. Five purple eyes moved unnaturally, studying Zhao's every movement with predatory intelligence.

"The famous Hunter of Yano," it smiled, its multiple mouths moving in unsettling unison. "How long have you been hunting us without truly understanding what you face?" _{freewebnøvel.com}

Zhao's feathers danced between his fingers with deadly grace. "Long enough to know where to strike."

The attack was instantaneous. Silver feathers became streaks of light as they sought vital points. The tentacled one used its appendages to deflect them, but two found flesh, drawing purple ichor.

The giant salamander spat purple acid that melted both feathers and earth where the Hunter had been a second before, while the purple wax being suffered no damage as it tried to flank him. Its mostly fluid form made conventional attacks nearly useless.

The arachnid leader observed with its five brilliant eyes, its three mouths moving in a disturbing smile while coordinating the attack.

Behind them, Ren struggled with the Bark Stalker core. The frequency it emitted made the medusas hesitate, but they kept approaching, their controller's hold over them too strong to break completely just like that.

Around them, the auxiliaries kept their opponents occupied.
