Chapter 496 -496 – Taming the Third Beast

The group divided to attend to multiple urgent responsibilities.

Some headed to handle the situation of prisoner soldiers in the mines, ensuring they were appropriately managed and interrogated. Others focused on the logistical management of moving the crystals, a process that required specific beasts.

The selection of candidates for double potions also required immediate attention, evaluating loyalty, competence, and strategic potential. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ren decided to stay with Luna, Larissa and Liora, awaiting the arrival of his egg and his teachers. It was an opportunity to plan his next development steps while writing a new guide.

After a few hours, while the Wolverine tamers continued extracting crystals, something unexpected began to be seen.

“Is that part of a mural?” asked one of Julius’s half-sisters, pointing toward where crystal removal had revealed carved patterns on the wall.

A small section of strange information had become visible, symbols and designs that were clearly part of something much larger.

The discovery immediately changed extraction priorities.

“We planned to extract few crystals,” Arturo commented when reporting the finding, “but now we need to extract those necessary to free the complete mural.”

The decision wasn’t trivial. Extracting more crystals meant distributing enormous wealth that couldn’t be stored in the castle’s space, but the historical information could be invaluable for understanding the systems that had been operating beneath their feet.

These murals could contain information about the ancient civilization that had built these systems, possibly revealing secrets about their operation or purpose that could prove crucial.

Selphira, upon learning of the situation, offered an elegant solution.

“I can freeze a water wall in a zone of the chamber,” she proposed. “That way we would only have to remove a section of crystals and could see the mural without affecting the rest of the crystals.”

It was a perfect compromise between not extracting too many resources and satisfying archaeological curiosity.

“Brilliant,” Dragarion agreed. “We can make a wall for extraction only in front of the mural.”

While selective excavation work began, Ren’s things arrived along with his teachers.

Yang appeared first, carrying Ren’s backpack with the container protecting the Wolverine egg. He approached and handed it over with a stoic pose very characteristic of the Rock Behemoth tamer.

Wei arrived moments later, accompanied by Lin, who looked significantly different after her transformation and prolonged nap. Her presence had a new density, but also a slightly disoriented quality that suggested adaptation was still in process.

Wei quickly launched into the new book Ren was writing to devour the knowledge while the boy stood up.

“How do you feel?” Ren immediately asked Lin.

“Like I’ve been dreaming for days,” Lin answered honestly. “My perception of time is… confused.”

It was exactly the type of symptom Ren had anticipated, confirming his suspicions about recovery patterns from mana cycles. Lucid dreams seemed more common when the mana system was reorganizing.

The interrupted cultivation had created complications that would require careful management.

“I’m going to evaluate your condition completely,” Ren assured her. “And then we’ll decide the best course of action for the thousand-day cultivation.”

Luna and Liora observed the reunion with fascination, seeing how Ren handled both the arrival of his resources and the medical evaluation of their auxiliary teacher with competence that transcended his age.

“When will you take the egg?” Liora asked.

“I should be able to do it now,” Ren responded. “I just need to make a small change to the rune…”

He took some materials from the backpack.

“This could be a good occasion to demonstrate the rune engraving process…”

It was a complex and precise task. But if they could learn it, they could write the type of flow in the core that decided the beast type, like its genetic key.

The technique was both art and science, requiring not just knowledge of the symbols but understanding of how mana flowed through different patterns to create specific biological outcomes. It was knowledge that could revolutionize beast breeding if properly understood.

While Wei closely examined Ren making notes, the mural ‘excavation’ work continued. The revealed symbols promised information that could change their understanding of what was happening.
