Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 193 : After a Long Year

A young blonde elf in his early twenties ran at an inhumane speed, as he climbed a steep slope. The slope was almost vertical, as it was a tall wall of a grand canyon, towering over a thousand metres.

The temperature was palpable as the sun hung above like an impending doom ready to burn everything. However, the shadows under the grand canyon gave a refreshment that everyone desperately needed.

However, Veer wasn't looking for rest or refreshment. Aurora had informed him of an emergency, and he was going to her at his fastest speed.

In the past few months, his speed had gone to new heights with his perfect mana control and powerful physique. He was the fastest in the group right after Rain, which showed just how much he had improved.

In just a few seconds, he reached the top of the canyon and climbed the edges. Looking around the barren plateaus, he quickly found Aurora who was sitting at another corner of the canyon.

He quickly ran after her and stopped right beside her. Nevertheless, Aurora didn't even flinch as her whole attention was on something else. Her glowing eyes and the bow in her hand were showing that clearly.

"What happened?" Veer asked.

"Look in the north, 2 o'clock," Aurora muttered, as she released the arrow she was holding.

It shot forward, cutting through the air with a sonic boom and disappeared in the distance. Veer followed its direction and tried to look where it was going.

Before them lay a vast barren land, spanning as far as the eyes could see. Small, rolling hills of sand obscured the view, but due to their height advantage, they could see far ahead.

However, even Veer couldn't properly follow the arrow as it disappeared from his vision. He frowned, wondering how much, how much the distance was between them and the thing Aurora wanted to show him.

He waited for two seconds and then heard a loud book from a distance. But he wasn't surprised by that, as he could already see some disturbance far away.

But even that was causing strain on his eyes, as even his nana-infused eyes couldn't see that far. Still, it was enough to confirm something.

"There's a magical creature there?" Veer asked.

"Yes, but there are also four people fighting it. From the looks of it, they won't make it," Aurora muttered with a solemn look on her face. Suddenly, her eyebrows flinched slightly as she added, "They're from the Starlight Academy. They are in that battle suit, the same as us."

"Damn it!" Veer cursed, and in that moment, a figure materialised behind him as he said, "What do you think, Rain? Can you reach there in time?"

"It won't matter. The distance is roughly 3 kilometres and the magical creature is likely at Lord Stage. Even if she somehow makes it there, she won't survive," Aurora said. "Also, magical damage isn't working on it, so it definitely has high defence, and I also don't have any powerful physical arrow."

Veer frowned as he tried to think of a solution quickly. Coming to a decision in rapid succession, he summoned the Stormcaller Spear.

Out of light particles, a long spear materialised in his hand, as lightning crackled around it. Just its sheer presence had a dangerous feeling, and mundane people might just lose consciousness being in its vicinity.

Veer took a deep breath and held the spear above his shoulder in a perfect grip. He didn't know much about spear combat arts, but his companions had at least taught him how to wield it properly.

"Tell me its precise location," Veer commanded. "And I need it precise, even better if you can point out its weakness or something."

"Roger," Aurora acknowledged the order and began to calculate the distance and position. After lingering for a while, she replied, "3452 metres to the north, 2 o'clock...."

'Set the location, system,' Veer ordered his system.

[Understood]

After getting the location, the system provided him a mark through which he could see and calculate the distance clearly.

"Take this!"

Veer muttered, as more and more purple lightning began to crackle around the spear before submerging its tip with a dense lightning ball.

Veer's grip on the spear tightened, as his muscles bulged out, showing even his veins. Mana drained from him at a rapid rate as he poured everything into the spear.

Thankfully, his huge mana pool came into use, and even after pouring so much mana, he still had more than fifty percent left.

He smiled, planted his feet on the ground, and then threw the Stormcaller Spear with all of his force. With a sonic boom, the spear shot towards the targeted location, cutting through the air and ready to destroy everything in its path.

Looking at the trail left behind by the spear, Veer exhaled and said, "Tell me if it works."

Aurora nodded, as her special eyes followed the spear as it passed through the barren land and landed upon a giant magical creature she had her eyes upon.

It didn't cause any explosion, as it wasn't meant to be a physical damage dealer. The lightning was just there for assistance, while the actual damage came from Veer's terrifying throw and the power it held within.

The spear tore open the creature's backside, leaving a deep gash behind as the creature shrieked in pain and agony. The spear dug deep into its flesh, causing damage to even its sturdy bones.

Aurora wasn't going to let this chance go, as she knocked a green, glowing arrow onto her bow and released it.

The single arrow turned into a hundred, as all of them traveled the long distance in seconds and rained down upon the magical creature while not hurting the humans at all.

The creature fell down, screaming in pain as the arrows almost severed its torso because of their explosive traits. Only its body had the magical resistance, not its insides, so it succumbed to the wounds and began to take its last breaths.

Fortunately, the three humans knew to take advantage of the situation and quickly killed it with their weapons, while thanking whoever had saved them.

Aurora, who was witnessing everything, smiled and said, "They're safe now. We can go and rescue them."

"Let's go," Veer said, and turned towards Rain. "You can go and inform others about our situation and tell them that we are having some newbies with us. Our group just got bigger."

"Hmm, but they maybe don't cooperate with us," Rain said, remembering that there were still people out there who wanted Veer dead, or at least beaten up. They wouldn't respect him as a leader, after all.

The image of Carlson and his gang flashed through Veer's mind, as he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. If they try to pull some shit, then I'll just pummel them to the ground."

"Hehe, of course, there is no need to worry when our boss is the strongest," Rain giggled and then gave a cute salute. "Then, I'll leave this to you."

With that, she disappeared completely as if she had never been there to begin with. Aurora gave a side glance and said, "She's getting more and more terrifying."

"Well, what do you expect from someone who has her aspect and the willpower?" Veer smiled. "It's better for us. The stronger we are, the better our chances at escaping these damned labyrinths."

"Haha, honestly, after spending almost a year here, I would feel weird after getting out," Aurora chuckled, as she took out a normal arrow from her quiver, which had an unlimited supply of those.

"Yeah, the days of constant running and living in fear that a great stage magical creature would attack is unforgettable. Ah! I'll never forget this trip," Veer said, shaking his head. "Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Telling them to stay at their location so we can rescue them," Aurora said, but then charged her mind. "Never mind, I'll just tell them to get away from that creature. Those little insects would surely come out to devour it."

With that, she wrote a message on a paper and pinned it against her arrow. Then, she sent the arrow to the three young men they had just saved.

Only when she saw them noticing the arrow and the letter did Aurora shift her gaze. She said, looking at Veer, "You can go alone since your speed is fast. I'll just check upon you from here and tell you about any potential dangers."

"Sounds good to me," Veer said and kissed Aurora's cheeks. "Wish me luck!"

"As if luck would be with us," Aurora patted him on the back and dropped back to the ground, her eyes looking around for any disturbance.

Veer smiled, looking down from the edge at the steep slope with a thousand-metre dive. Then, he jumped down while laughing. The air caressed his flesh, as he skidded down the dry rocks, raising dust whenever he passed.

Looking down, he shouted,

"This is the best!"
