Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499 - Taming Drama - 2

"And so," he concluded, "through a combination of ingenuity, courage, financial acumen, and emotional maturity that defied all reasonable expectations..."

"We emerged triumphant in our mission to save the young boy!" Finch finished, while Theodore made a bow so elaborate that he actually did a complete somersault.

"Although not," he added, "without learning valuable lessons about humility, friendship, and the true meaning of sacrifice!"

Theodore nodded solemnly, then wiped away what appeared to be an imaginary tear.

Ren had been watching this entire performance with suppressed laughter. The absolute commitment that both Finch and Theodore showed to their narration was both impressive and completely ridiculous.

The theatrical duo had managed to transform what should have been a serious debriefing into a performance art piece that would have made professional entertainers envious. Their synchronization was flawless, each gesture and expression perfectly timed for maximum dramatic impact.

"That sounds... very intense," Ren managed to say, trying to maintain a serious face.

"Oh, it was," Finch assured him. "We barely escaped with our lives, our purity on the other hand..."

Ren’s expression changed to genuine concern when he realized that his amusing friends had really been in mortal danger and had also been forced into corruption...

"Oh no no no," Finch interrupted. "We’re perfectly fine, my dear boy."

Theodore nodded vigorously, then made a big jump to demonstrate his vitality.

"Let me check you," Ren said seriously, approaching with his new jade eyes glowing softly. "Even if you feel fine, there must be contamination if you took that strange potion."

Finch and Theodore exchanged a glance, neither of them sure if they were really clean or not.

"Well," Finch said with less certainty than he had shown moments before, "I suppose a review from such a professional magnate wouldn’t hurt... But please help the young man we risked ourselves to save first."

Ren nodded and approached Klein first, who had remained silent during Finch’s entire dramatic performance.

He extended his hands with purifying light and let his enhanced perception scan Klein’s mana system. His fungus immediately whispered that something interesting had occurred.

"You’re perfectly clean," Ren declared with evident surprise.

His fungus murmured an explanation: it must be the previous purification. When Ren tried to increase the light to purify Klein again to be sure, the boy’s body resonated strangely.

Klein, who had been maintaining his usual expression of disdain, showed the first sign of real vulnerability.

"Did you already clean those threads or that liquid from me?" he asked reluctantly, his pride clearly struggling against his need to know the answer.

The question revealed more about Klein’s experience than he probably intended. The careful way he phrased it suggested he had been deeply affected by what he witnessed, despite his attempts to appear unshaken.

"They didn’t manage to contaminate you with the potion," Ren explained, processing the information his fungus provided. "It seems the purification resonates with your Lion. Maybe it’s a very proud beast... And that purified what they gave you by itself."

Ren paused, his curiosity awakening.

"But about those threads... tell me more deeply what exactly you saw."

Klein hesitated for a moment, then decided the information was too important to keep stored away out of pride.

"I could see what looked like corruption threads coming from my brother’s fingers," he explained, his voice becoming more childish. "Like spider webs, but made of purple energy."

Ren consulted mentally with his fungus, but the creature also didn’t know exactly what that specific phenomenon was.

"My beast doesn’t recognize that description," Ren admitted. "But it’s interesting that you can now see corruption directly without being corrupted..."

It was a rare and valuable ability, especially considering that Klein or his beast hadn’t shown special perception capabilities before.
