Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Chapter 407 - Tamers War - Ensuing Seedlings (1/2)

The weight of Liora’s words settled over Ren like a stone slab.

The war had begun.

His parents, neighbors, and teachers, who had seemed safe after the rescue, were in danger again.

"How do you know?" Ren asked, wanting to deny it even though he could see the truth in Liora’s mana patterns.

"Grandmother Selphira told me not to leave the castle under any circumstances," Liora responded, her voice losing some of its earlier tension but gaining a gravity that made her sound older than her eleven years. "She took some of the best soldiers who are always stationed here. And Larissa has been sending me messages..."

Liora knew. If Selphira was mobilizing her elite forces, the situation was far more serious than a border skirmish.

Ren’s parents exchanged one of those wordless looks that only couples who had weathered decades together could share. His mother moved closer to him automatically, that protective instinct activating without conscious thought.

"Son," his father began carefully, his weathered hands clasping together, "if there’s a war..."

"We’ll be safe here," Ren interrupted quickly, but it was a lie that fooled no one in the room.

His mind was already racing through other possibilities. His parents were secure for the moment, but what if the situation deteriorated? What if they needed to flee?

It was then that the mushroom in his hair pulsed gently, and a single word whispered in his mind like a barely audible breeze: "Fusion."

Ren’s eyes widened as understanding flooded through him.

Of course. The ability he had used with Lin could be extended to other people. First, he could give them that trump card which might mean the difference between life and death if they found themselves in real danger.

"Listen," Ren said suddenly, causing everyone to turn toward him. "I think... I think this could help us."

"Help us how, my child?" his mother asked, moving closer with that expression she adopted when preparing to protect him from whatever dangerous idea he might be harboring.

Though it seemed it would be very difficult to stop him now. He had grown too much, too fast.

"My mushrooms," Ren gently touched the small creatures glowing in his hair, their bioluminescence pulsing in response to his excitement, "can do something special. It can temporarily fuse beasts, making them much more powerful and allowing them to be used both inside the body and manifested outside simultaneously."

Liora straightened immediately, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest.

But Ren’s parents seemed confused, uncertainty clouding their features as they tried to understand what their son was proposing.

When Ren was about to manifest his small mushroom for them to touch...

’We don’t need them to hold me for several seconds one by one like the time with the sadistic woman,’ his mushroom communicated directly into his thoughts. ’If you yourself can make physical contact with them...’

’I see,’ Ren nodded. ’But they’re going to end up very tired, right?’

’I can deactivate it immediately, but first they must receive the capability and feel the activation so they can trigger it themselves when needed.’

Understanding flooded through Ren. It was like installing an emergency system... and they needed to experience it once to know how to access it later.

He approached his parents, extending his arms with a smile that carried both affection and determination.

"Could you... give me a hug?"

The request was unexpected, but so apparently innocent that his parents didn’t hesitate. His mother arrived first, enveloping Ren in one of those embraces that made him feel completely secure, her familiar scent of herbs and warmth surrounding him.

His father joined a moment later, creating that familiar circle of warmth and protection that Ren had known his entire life. But this time, while embracing them, Ren communicated mentally with his mushroom.

’Do it.’

The small mushroom extended its influence, creating strong connections between his parents’ beasts. The Black Turtle and the plant, both Iron-rank creatures with relatively similar power levels, thanks to the plants being mature, responded immediately to the mushroom’s expert manipulation.

Ren felt the exact moment the fusion activated.

His parents tensed slightly in his arms, their breathing becoming deeper as renewed energy flowed through their bodies. It was like watching two separate streams merge into a rushing river, the combined power greater than the sum of its parts.

"What did...?" his father began, but his voice was lost in wonder as he felt the combined power of both beasts flowing through him.

His mother straightened slightly, her eyes shining with amazement. The sensation was clearly overwhelming, decades of living with modest Iron-rank abilities suddenly replaced by their streng approaching mid Silver-level power.

"Ren, this is... it’s incredible. I can feel so much power..."

"Your little mushroom," added his mother, gently touching the luminous creatures in his hair, "is much more special than I ever imagined!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
