Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199 - Taming the Old World - Exiguous... Not! Just Enough - 2

Seconds prior...

High above the courtyard, the ethereal energy transfer was not executed perfectly. Ren received the synchronized influx of primordial ether from the four Vanguard elites, feeling his half depleted core expand as his reserves shot back up to nearly two hundred percent.

But the energy flowing directly from Liu was laced with that purple poison.

The terrifying volume of corruption that Liu had forcefully ordered his Wendigos to absorb was exacting a brutal physical toll. The burden was suffocating on its own, but when also mixed with the divine, hyper-accelerated euphoria of the primordial dragon energy, it created a lethal biological paradox. The two completely contradictory yet equally exhilarating energies were actively tearing Liu’s mana system in many directions. The quiet commander was hyperventilating, his skin deathly pale, visibly shaking as he desperately tried to cage a nightmare that was threatening to overflow and shatter his sanity.

For Ren, however, carrying that specific brand of agonizing, soul-crushing weight was an acquired second nature.

He had spent some hectic years intimately coexisting with the corruption inside his own system veins. He had ripped open and stitched shut his own scar in almost every single major engagement and the wars.

So Ren was an absolute master at feigning a perfect invulnerability...

He flawlessly absorbed Liu’s toxic, corrupted ether, seamlessly shunting the rot into the dark, calloused corners of his system where he knew how to contain it, never allowing a single wince of pain to cross his face.

But Sirius still noticed.

Sirius had experienced it first hand and still possessed a profound, razor-sharp empathy that allowed him to effortlessly read the true emotional currents flowing beneath a soldier’s facade. He instantly saw right through Ren’s stoic mask, as he had easily seen the agonizing limits of what Liu was failing to hide.

Without breaking his concentration, the veteran utilized the four-way ethereal tether Ren had established to execute a completely unexpected maneuver.

Sirius forcefully injected a vastly larger fraction of his own pure dragon energy directly into Ren’s core than originally agreed upon. Simultaneously, he reached out through the tether and aggressively siphoned a good chunk of the toxic corruption directly out of Liu. Sirius absorbed the rot into his own system, deliberately dispersing the poison across his own aura to alleviate the crushing weight Ren was silently bearing.

It was a quiet, seamless exchange. A silent sacrifice made in the dark, executed entirely so Ren wouldn’t have to ask for help.

Ren felt the shift instantly.

"No..." Ren started, his eyes widening as he snapped his head toward his future in-law. "That isn’t necessary. It’s too dangerous for you. Your internal fracture is..."

Sirius simply raised a hand and clamped it firmly onto Ren’s shoulder.

The Starweaver nodded. His weathered face was set in a mask of absolute, unyielding determination. It was the calm, immovable expression of a man who had made a conscious decision to share the burden of his savior and greatest benefactor, and he absolutely refused to debate the logistics.

Sirius didn’t speak a single word; he didn’t need to. His eyes carried all the messages: Let me help you carry this. I can endure it. You are not fighting alone.

Ren held the veteran’s gaze for a long, heavy second.

He swallowed his pride and decided to let himself be helped... Just this once.
