Chapter 494 - Taming Rewards
The group that had entered the castle in pieces and almost made pieces was now complete, everyone healed and gathered in one of the main chambers.
Dragarion was about to ask Ren some important questions after he had sent his letter, but the boy got ahead with his own agenda.
"First of all," Ren said, approaching the group members who still hadn’t received a certain special ability, "I want to give, to those who are missing it, the power to fuse their beasts without needing to touch the second ring."
He had already done this with Lin, the girls, and Selphira during previous events, but Victor, Arturo, Julius, Sirius, Dragarion, and Zhao could still obtain the upgrade. All the doubles, who now had sufficient energy to not be too affected by being transformed for a bit, could benefit significantly from that last resort card.
"My control is much more precise now that I have a Silver beast (and the three rings integrated)," Ren explained while approaching each one. "I can guide you better in the process to spend less energy during the trial."
The process was efficient and quick. Ren touched each tamer, activating the improved fusion capability through the mana connections he could now manipulate with almost inhuman precision. The recipients immediately felt the difference, a new capability in accessing their fused forms.

Finally, Dragarion decided to address the questions that had been accumulating in his mind since witnessing the boy’s extraordinary capabilities.
"Ren," he began, adopting the tone he used for important interrogations, "I need to know more about you. What family do you come from? How did you manage to obtain so much knowledge at your age?"
"I owe it to my beast," Ren responded honestly, but without hesitating before royal authority.
Was it the casualness of his king?
"What beast is it exactly?" the king pressed, his curiosity genuinely awakened.
