Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

Kharzan knew attacking indirectly was risky.

If Sirius managed to bring down too many monsters before falling or escaping, his soldiers’ damage capacity would fall dramatically for maybe even days. Even more so when beasts were generally clumsier when not receiving direct orders inside their tamer.

But he considered that being so many against just one, Sirius would surely have to retreat and finally allow the advance.

‘Let’s see if your conceited individual power can handle overwhelming numbers,’ he thought while his beasts began their advance toward where Sirius was preparing for another bombardment.

The air filled with roars, hisses, and other varied sounds of massive beasts moving toward battle. It was a rarely used and frowned-upon tactic in military confrontation… But facing an army with a single person wasn’t exactly common either.

And if it worked, Kharzan would finally have a clear path to reach and support efforts at the bridge.

♢♢♢♢

Sirius had launched his fourth attack, concentrated energy streaking through the air like a bolt of pure destruction. But when it impacted against the reformed wall that enemy forces had rebuilt, he realized something different.

When his power destroyed the earth defenses, it didn’t continue inward to generate disaster among the troops as had happened in previous attacks. Instead, something had countered the remaining energy of his attack after it broke through the initial defenses.

It was there, in the great gap he had just formed, that he realized what had interfered.

An enormous creature had emerged to block his attack.

From the gap surfaced a massive Golden Lion, its mane shining with power that rivaled his own attack. Two corrupt creatures followed, an Abyssal Scorpion and a Blood Man o’ War, each radiating the characteristic purple energy of abyssal corruption.

And behind them, hundreds of lesser creatures flew toward positions in the remaining barrier and from the rear guard.

‘It seems Kharzan is ready to abandon decorum,’ Sirius thought with disgust, ‘and ask his dirty pets to do the work in his place.’

It was something common in the Goldcrest circle… boasting that their direct input wasn’t necessary thanks to the “high quality” of their beasts, which could work alone without constant tamer supervision.

“Laziness and cowardice,” Sirius spat, though he recognized the effectiveness of the maneuver in this situation.

But his culture dictated that the method would never stop bothering him. First of all, their beasts weren’t of the best qualities as the Goldcrests presumed.

Not even the 3 family’s best beast by standard… since Sirius was above them.

The “Royal” Golden Lion was one level below his Celestial Tiger, not having reached Gold 3 like his own main beast. Sirius had the larger and more powerful creature of the two in terms of rank and power.

Although many would argue that Kharzan’s secondary beast, the Corrupt Simurgh, was better than his Black Serpent due to being Gold rank.

Sirius thought the synergy between his beasts was superior to Kharzan’s despite this. His creatures had been trained to work in perfect coordination, while Kharzan’s beasts operated more through individual domination.

But now there was no time to compare public opinion of different factions. He had to think quickly about a much more important decision:

Would he retreat or stay to try to defeat the enormous quantity of beasts deploying before him?

Of course, it would benefit him to bring down as many beasts as possible. The tamers of those creatures would be left powerless for more than a full day after losing high-level beasts, just when they would need them most.

But the question was whether Sirius would truly be capable of bringing them all down. If not he would be tired and in trouble.

The attack he had just used was powerful, and although it wasn’t his most destructive attack, at least it had a good cost-benefit ratio. It was something he could repeat several times without exhausting quickly.

Yet if he increased power significantly, he would spend much more stamina and mana from his beast… resources he couldn’t afford to waste on a delaying mission for a march that promised to be prolonged.

‘But if I could eliminate all those beasts…’

The problem was also that even increasing his power to maximum, there was no guarantee he would effectively bring down even the Lion since it had support from other creatures.

Kharzan’s Lion’s Roar, while less potent than his own Light and Wind Storm, could undoubtedly almost completely cancel his attack if coordinated appropriately.

Sirius retreated slowly while calculating pros and cons, probabilities of success versus cost of failure. The beasts advanced to not give him time.

He used all his mental power to analyze all possibilities as fast as possible.

Then he stopped when thinking of Luna.

His daughter, in territory that could become an active war zone if this battle prolonged. The one who carried his family’s legacy… a legacy that depended on him making correct decisions to protect perhaps not only his remaining family, but maybe his entire kingdom.

There was no choice. He could only give everything and try to win.

Sirius powered his Celestial Tiger to the limit, feeling how pure energy ran through his veins like liquid fire. His Black Serpent emerged completely from the shadows.

Seeing his preparation, the Golden Lion and other creatures did the same.

They had been following the simple order to wait and evaluate. The tamers didn’t want to waste energy unnecessarily… if Sirius decided to flee instead of facing such unfavorable odds, they couldn’t catch him in shadow jumps, so spending their energy on him would be a mistake… could even possibly be what he wanted.

But seeing him ready to go full attack mode, they understood the time had come to respond.

If they could tire him out and survive, he wouldn’t have enough mana to escape.

Seeing that Sirius had chosen to stay and fight against overwhelming odds, enemy beasts began their own preparations.

The Golden Lion began charging its roar, a sound that even before being completely released made the earth tremble.

And hundreds of lesser beasts added their voices to the chorus of power accumulating.

Sirius knew he couldn’t win with a conventional attack. The numbers were too much against him, and however powerful his Celestial Tiger was, facing hundreds of beasts simultaneously was impossible.

He had to use the ring’s fusion on himself.

That would tire him enormously, but wouldn’t mean Selphira couldn’t use it afterward.

He could use it now and then use it on her later.

The ring would work better on Luna if she had reached adulthood, but in hands like his it was already a key to fusion power, one that was perhaps slightly less powerful than Ren’s natural fusion… but with considerably less energy expenditure for the user.

Sirius activated the ring, immediately feeling how the artifact’s power intertwined with his own energy and that of his Celestial Tiger. An intense sensation but not entirely new to him.

The transformation released a great amount of energy.

His tiger acquired blacker and thicker stripes that ran throughout its body like power circuits. It became slightly more reptilian, its fangs lengthened, its muscles redefined with a density that suggested strength transcending the previous.

But most impressive was how it acquired something like a “serpents mane”, long black “serpentine hairs” that moved with their own life, seeming created to compete directly against Kharzan’s Lion’s golden mane.

The enormous power reflected from the final fusion was less than what Kharzan had witnessed when Selphira fused with her lesser Genbu, but was still extremely powerful, enough to worry him.

He felt the pressure immediately… then decided to go all out too.

The corrupt beasts his Lion supported in his body were the same Abyssal Scorpion and Man o’ War that followed it, but they weren’t simply passive support. They were capable of fusing to a certain extent as direct extensions of the Lion, creating a hybrid creature that combined the strengths of multiple abyssal species not just within Kharzan’s body.

They fused in their own way..

Black armor plating covered the Golden Lion in several critical parts, providing defense that shone with corrupt purple energy. But even more interesting was its mane, which seemed to come alive too, transforming into long tentacles instead of hair.

It was a beast that fused pure golden power with abyssal corruption that defied natural laws.

Kharzan didn’t wait.

Feeling Sirius’s growing threat, he decided to release an attack immediately, rushing his Lion-monster to release its charge before Sirius could finish completely charging his greatest attack.

The potent roar that emerged from the corruptedly fused creature was like concentrated thunder. It wasn’t just sound, it was physical power that traveled like a devastating shock wave.

Support from beasts capable of withstanding the damage through affinity or sufficient distance to not be too affected… amplified the attack. Tons of small additions until it became a storm of destruction that headed straight toward Sirius and his fusion in front of him.

Hundreds of lesser beasts had added their own attacks to the main roar, creating a symphony of destruction that would have obliterated any normal target.

But Sirius didn’t despair.

Instead of letting his new fused creature attack like other beasts, operating by instinct and brute power, he did something that required extraordinary control.

He absorbed it completely just when it was about to finish its charge.

The enormous combined power of his enhanced Celestial Tiger and the ring’s energy flowed directly toward him, fusing not only with his beasts but with his own being.

It was difficult to control, like trying to direct a river in full flood, but he intended to push it to the limit and use it more efficiently than any autonomous beast ever could.

Firm in his philosophy of not allowing beasts to attack alone but as an integral part of their tamer, Sirius channeled all possible energy. Every last drop he could squeeze into an individual attack, concentrating everything into a perfect strike.

What he released was a chaotic ray of Light and Darkness that coiled upon itself like two serpents of pure energy. The opposing elements intertwined in perfect balance, creating an attack that was both creation and destruction, both purification and ruin.

The ray deflected most of the lesser beasts’ power, dispersing their attacks as if they were raindrops before a hurricane. Even the devastating roar of Kharzan’s armored Lion-monster was mostly countered, its force directed to the sides instead of impacting directly.

The ray of power didn’t stop… it was released.

The explosion that followed also affected numerous soldiers who had been too close to the epicenter. The wall that had been rebuilt multiple times was destroyed much more than any previous attack by Sirius had achieved.
