Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 488 - Taming the Inheritance - 2

The control chamber was surrounded by a barrier that caught Julius’s attention because it only kept the mana crystals out but let everything else pass through.

Ren’s beast was in the middle of the chamber, atop an enormous and perfectly circular golden crystal that served as a pedestal. And its mouth was completely full of something oval, almost spherical, that seemed to be almost the same size as itself.

"What does it have in its mouth?" Luna asked, fascinated by the image of the small fungus struggling to swallow something so large.

Surrounding the golden crystal were just over a hundred pedestals illuminated by mana, with potions on each of them, forming a perfect circle around the great transparent barrier that protected the center.

Most interesting was a column that seemed to be the one distributing the main mana ray to all systems. It had seven crystals of different colors embedded in its surface, each pulsing with a unique rhythm.

"The colors of the 7 basic elements," Dragarion immediately identified.

When the fungus finally finished swallowing the thing it had in its mouth, it began to glow with a light they had never seen before.

Ren immediately relaxed in the king’s arms, the pain he had been experiencing visibly fading from his face.

"He looks better," Luna observed with relief.

"Much better," Liora agreed.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, Ren also began to glow.

It wasn’t the blue light of concentrated mana or the golden light of the fungi they had seen. It was something completely different, a green-blue luminosity that seemed to emanate from within and that made the air around him feel cleaner, purer.

The transformation was beautiful. The light didn’t just illuminate; it seemed to actively purify, creating a sphere of clarity around Ren that made breathing easier and thoughts sharper.

"What’s happening?" Julius asked, observing how Ren’s light gradually intensified.

Dragarion studied the phenomenon with eyes that had seen wonders and horrors alike, but even he seemed puzzled by what he was witnessing.

"Something I hadn’t seen before," he admitted. "But something tells me it’s something good..."

The small fungus, now glowing with satisfaction, seemed to have found exactly what it had come looking for.

The intense pain faded from Ren like a nightmare that was finally ending.

His breathing normalized, the knot in his chest loosened, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity he could clearly feel his fungus’s voice resonating in his mind.

"Prepare to rise to Silver rank 1 in a special way," ’Mooshito’ whispered to him, its voice clearer and more powerful than ever before.

What followed was an expansion of consciousness that defied everything Ren had experienced previously.

His perception extended like waves in a pond, first reaching the chamber’s limits, then beyond. The platinum beasts, which had previously been incomprehensible enigmas, now revealed themselves like open books. He could not only understand their patterns and behaviors, he could perceive their motivations, their deepest instincts, the currents of power that directed them.

But that was just the beginning.

The chamber they were in unfolded before his expanded consciousness like a three-dimensional map.

The intricate, more powerful roots he now possessed allowed him to perceive every corner of this mana structure, every interconnected system, every function that had remained hidden to less adapted eyes.

The seven-ring door didn’t just guard another chamber; it led to a depth of two thousand meters, where secrets with more powerful traces lay.

The transforming windows in the walls weren’t simple decorations. They transformed liquid mana into crystals and runes of different types, from low levels to high platinum and diamond formations that were believed impossible to obtain in human domains.

The hundred double potions surrounding the central golden crystal were rechargeable every ten years, much faster than the natural veins of the three upper rings. A production that could transform entire generations of golden tamers.

The ten diamond-rank healing elixirs glowed with power that could bring someone back from the very edge of death.

Small artifacts of varied but simple functions surrounded a golden crystal.

The golden crystal itself was a kind of connection to the mana of the entire tower, allowing perception of things in the world’s flow in a way similar to his beast’s roots, but much less complex.

’Simpler and not as interesting for someone who already has their own ’sight’,’ Ren thought, analyzing the artifact’s function.

Finally, the column that received the main mana contained seven Diamond Rank cores. Seven ’crystallized’ dragons that absorbed and transformed energy in an extensive area...

This was the processing site that prevented the city from being covered by raw mana.

’The reason humans can live in the city without being rapidly poisoned,’ Ren realized with amazement.

’Or were they looking for something more?’

’And if they open their door with their own ring,’ Ren continued, his mind filling with growing urgency, ’the corruption could absorb a much larger amount and have access to a more complex crystal in their own second chamber.’

"I have consumed the jade seed, but they can obtain the dragon blood obsidian seed."

"If the corruption obtains that for its roots," Mooshito continued, "the Kegare Smoke will blind your humble beast’s roots where they touch. And our enemy beast will become powerful at diamond level."
