Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 148: Saving The Seer

Veer and his group were also shaken because of the Mountain Lord. Even from a distance, they could feel its might and power. It was as if the world itself was telling them they couldn’t best it.

The only thing they could do was surrender, not even resistance.

Only Veer was calm and had his gaze focused on the Magical Creature. After seeing the titanic battle at the start of his Labyrinth Journey, he doubted anything could scare him anymore.

Even from a distance, he could easily see the tall, four-metre beast. The reason he identified it as mountain was simple.

Its head had five milky, white eyes and a half-open terrible maw crowding with razor-sharp teeth. Viscous drool was running down the creature’s chin.

The strange shapes endlessly moving, worm-like, under the creature’s skin were probably the thing Ragen meant when she said ’crawling under the skin.’

[Name - Mountain Lord Nerul]

[Type - Magical Creature.]

[Rank - Elite Stage]

There was nothing else since it was an Elite Stage Magical Creature. But the aura it gave was enough for Veer to assess the situation.

’It isn’t stronger than the Dark Mist Guardian but it has those worms that could be trouble,’ he thought. ’Now, is it worth saving that Seer?’

He didn’t care about the other Seeker Academy students, but the Seer was different. Their path would be much harder once they left this Floating Island, and it would be better if they had a Seer.

But the problem was if they would be able to save her without saving others.

While he was thinking, the fight between the Seeker Academy group and the Mountain Lord had already started. Though calling it a fight would be wrong, as the giant beast had killed one of them already.

The other seven knew they couldn’t fight, so they tried to run, only to be surrounded by many white worms that came out of the ground.

Veer watched everything and then made up his mind. He needed to take risks if he wanted to face The Corrupted Dragon in the future.

He signalled his friends as they came near him, and he said, "We’re going to save the Seer."

"Understood!"

There were no questions. He was their leader, and he would decide their every move. They had placed their trust in him, so they didn’t care what he was thinking, even if it was a suicidal move.

"Good!" Veer nodded. "We can probably kill it if we fight together, but let’s save some energy. We’ll only fight it head-on if there is no other choice."

He looked at Rain and said, "It’ll be your job to take Ragen away while Elara and I would fight the big guy."

Rain nodded and asked, "Can’t we do the same like we did with that snake?"

"It’s impossible given its figure, and I also don’t want you to devour it," Veer said. "So, just be careful."

Turning towards Rock, he ordered, "You’ll be assisting Aurora while she will snipe those bastards trying to run away."

Rock nodded along with Aurora. He wanted to fight the Mountain Lord, but he knew the reason Veer kept him out of that battle. Rock was still in the Beginner Stage, and he would be dead at the start of the battle.

’What kind of tank am I? I can’t even protect my own team,’ Rock clenched his fist in frustration. ’I will become a mountain. I will!’

Veer smiled upon seeing his eyes and then said to Aurora, "Do your best and don’t let a single one leave this mountain alive. Rock will do the close-range work. Also, make sure no Magical Creatures approach us, I doubt it though, considering the shit we’re fighting."

After she nodded with a wide grin on her face, he turned towards Elara and smiled, "Smash it!"

"Got it! Boss!"

After a fist bump, everyone left for their positions according to the plan. Aurora and Rock went slightly upwards where they would have a better sight of the battle, while Rain turned on her concealment and rushed towards the battlefield.

Her speed was insane, as even Veer was having a hard time following her, but it was to be expected since she had devoured the very essence of an Elite Stage Corrupted Creature.

The only two remaining behind were Elara and Veer, who took their time while rushing towards the battlefield. They could see what was happening there, so they knew they had some time.

Out of the total eight people from Seeker Academy, only four were left. The other four were either smashed into the ground by the Mountain Lord or sucked dry by the white worms.

Only Ragen, Amelia, David, and Jonathan remained. They were still fighting the Mountain Lord, but it was mostly just dodging around while trying to make a way through the worms.

Ragen was actually in clarity this time as she jumped around the battlefield. Finding an opportunity, she led the Mountain Lord towards the world and then disappeared when a solid ape punch shattered the ground she had been standing on.

It also killed all the worms in that area, giving an opportunity for them to run. They didn’t miss it, as everyone ran towards it and got out of it.

However, the Mountain Lord wouldn’t let that happen, as it roared loudly and let loose its worms while it also got ready to jump.

Jonathan looked back at the giant monster and clicked his tongue. Then, he spun and kicked Ragen in the belly. She couldn’t react properly, and even if she did, Jonathan was far stronger than her.

The impact threw her back towards the Mountain Lord, making the giant pause and focus on the young woman. It decided to first deal with her before going after the others.

It raised one of its hands to catch her, but a sharp pang of pain made it withdraw. The beast growled and looked at its hand, where a dagger dug deep—but soon it disappeared.

Confused, it looked back at the woman, but she was nowhere to be seen. Rage filled its mind as it roared loudly, while beating its chest with all of its hands.

Veer saw all of that and smiled, "She’s getting good. Well, now it’s our time."

"You bet it is."
