Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 440 - Tamers War - Sky Tasty

Ren stopped at the corner of a street that seemed to be the limit of a relatively safe distance for approaching the march. He studied the horizon above the houses where dust and occasional mana flashes could be seen marking the position of Kharzan’s army march.

After thinking for a moment about his next course of action...

"We could use a look from an elevated place," he murmured, squinting his eyes. Not having any beast among the four of them that could fly very high was a problem.

’Maybe we can throw you very high?’ ’don’t even think about it!’

"Then..." Ren looked at the girls, "without knowing exactly how things are, we shouldn’t advance further. The right moment for us to enter is when the fighting ends and the infected are down..."

Rushing into active combat would accomplish nothing except getting them killed.

"So any ideas of a good high place?"

"How high do you need?" Larissa asked, following his gaze toward the distant chaos.

"High enough to see the main street the Goldcrest soldiers are marching on," Ren turned toward the girls. "Do you know any elevated place near here we can use?"

From a high vantage point, they could assess the battlefield situation, identify safe approach routes, and time their intervention perfectly.

All three began thinking, mentally evaluating the buildings in the area.

"The clock tower would be an option," Luna suggested, pointing west. "But it’s somewhat far and visibility wouldn’t be so good from that angle."

"What about residential buildings?" Liora proposed. "Some have five or six floors..."

"Not high enough," Larissa shook her head. "Besides, almost everything is closed due to curfew. Although I suppose jumping up to some tower would be costly but possible."

Ren frowned, trying to remember the city’s topography from his previous visits to the commercial center. But he was by no means an expert in non-biological formations he hadn’t visited more than once...

His knowledge of beast biology was encyclopedic, but urban architecture remained frustratingly mysterious.

"Wait," Larissa suddenly brightened. "What about the garden tower of Sky Tasty company?"

The suggestion came with the kind of enthusiasm that indicated she’d found a real solution rather than another compromise option.

"Sky Tasty?" Ren raised an eyebrow.

The name sounded vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t place it... when he might have heard it before in the academy. Commercial enterprises weren’t exactly his biggest interest either...

’Maybe Finch gibberish?’

"That expensive food company," Liora explained with a grimace of disgust. "They have vertical harvest gardens, and this one has the vertical record of the entire city."

Her Will o’ Wisp dimmed slightly, as if the spirit shared her distaste for overpriced commercial ventures that prioritized promotion over substance.

Ren nodded slowly, remembering having seen some of those vertical gardens during his ’half-year break visit’ to the commercial center, but he didn’t know there were vegetable towers even bigger than those.

"The climb is that spiral staircase," Larissa observed, pointing to the entrance. "It will help us save mana instead of making all the jumps we would have had to use to reach the clock tower roof."

These considerations were important. Every bit of magical energy they conserved now might be crucial for their actual mission once they reached the battlefield.

"And the courtyard is clear due to the evacuation," Luna added, sniffing the surroundings. "Besides, it’s not harvest time, so there shouldn’t be workers unless they’re crazy about danger like a certain boy..."

Her enhanced senses could detect the absence of human activity, providing another layer of security for their infiltration.

"Perfect," Ren murmured while ignoring the comment and approaching the entrance. "Although I can’t sense anyone’s mana signature at the top... it seems strange to me that there’s no one from either army watching from such an advantageous visibility point."

"Maybe the flyers see it as unnecessary," Larissa suggested. "With all the aerial patrols they must have..."

The main door was locked, but the locks in this part of the city were more about elegance and a culturally enough ’please respect the property’ than truly secure. The children climbed over the walls, and within minutes they were inside.

The spiral staircase extended upward, winding around the tower’s interior between levels of suspended hydroponic gardens. The smell of damp earth and growing plants filled the air, creating a strange contrast with the war tension they had been breathing for hours.

"This is going to be some exercise," Larissa murmured after climbing the first ten floors.

Her breathing was already showing the strain, despite her enhanced physical capabilities from her beasts. The tower was significantly taller than it had appeared from the ground.

"At least it’s better than using mana," Ren responded, though he still couldn’t feel the effort in his legs. But he knew the ring and being thin and small gave him an advantage in this type of effort. Lin’s face flashed through his mind for an instant.
