Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Chapter 497 - Taming the Purification

Ren was completely fascinated with his new elemental powers, experimenting with different manifestations like the true child discovering new toys he was.

Making small pebbles or sparks had been all he could create before obtaining the latest increases in his elemental control.

Now, he could control or form large blocks of earth, create flames that danced between his fingers, manipulate strong water currents, and generate wind gusts that could move objects with considerable force.

"This is incredible," he murmured, creating a small stone figure that began fighting with another one made of wood.

His elemental attacks would be useful since they now operated at the level of a Bronze 1 Tamer with a specialized Tier 3 beast... but in any element he chose to use.

It was still something with little power compared to his fused strength multiplier, and more so outside the elements enhanced by light and earth synergies, but at times it could be useful as it granted him a versatility that few tamers could match even at higher ranks.

The demonstration was both playful and profound. Each element responded differently, yet he was manipulating them all simultaneously.

Zhao also watched with pride while Wei took mental notes about the unusual manifestations.

But the fun ended abruptly when an urgent message arrived for Selphira.

A royal messenger entered running to the area where Ren was experimenting, his grave expression contrasting with the playful atmosphere that had prevailed moments before.

"They’re bringing people from Kharzan’s army," he reported. "They say they’re those who were contaminated with corruption without consent... Additionally, there are two people who seem to come from the Central Academy in the same conditions."

The air in the room immediately became more tense.

"At least that’s their claim," the messenger continued, his tone suggesting skepticism about the claims.

Selphira immediately straightened.

"I’ll go check that," she declared. "There could be Yino infiltrators mixed with the real victims."

Larissa immediately took charge of organizing the others to help the response.

"We’ll go too, our mana eyes will help make an initial filter for lies," she decided, pointing to Ren and her cousins, whose special capabilities could detect deception through magical means. "Right, friends?"

Selphira was about to tell them it was dangerous, but...

"With the teachers’ help as bodyguards," Larissa continued, "we’ll all go together to support, and with Lady Selphira nearby we’ll be very safe."

It was a sensible plan that balanced caution with the need for thorough investigation. Yang, Wei, Zhao and Lin immediately positioned themselves as protection.

On the way to where the supposed contaminated had gathered, Ren approached Selphira with a question that had been troubling him.

"What will we do with the contaminated who really didn’t want to be?" he asked, his voice carrying genuine concern for any innocent victims.

Selphira considered the question while they walked.

"Observe them and look for a cure," she initially responded.

Then she turned toward him with sudden realization.

"Do you know it?" she asked directly. "Can that light that saved Klein save all the contaminated?"

Ren considered the question for a moment, consulting with his main beast and his previous experience.

"No... many would die," he responded honestly. "If the person has a beast integrated with corruption, then the light disintegrates the person along with the corruption. It’s too late to separate them safely."

His expression became more serious as he explained the limitations.

"But if the corruption hasn’t completely integrated, if they haven’t fused with corrupt beasts yet, then yes. The light can purify them without permanent damage."

The distinction was crucial and heartbreaking. Those who had been forced into deeper corruption, regardless if to fight or save their lives, had unknowingly sealed their fate.

Selphira nodded, understanding the distinction and its implications for treatment.

"In that case," she decided, "purify them when we identify the real victims."
