Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 200: Fate

For the next five minutes that felt like all eternity, the room was silent except for Elizabeth's agony filled screams, as she begged and inflicted wounds on Veer's back.

However, he did nothing to stop and let her be. As long as she was fine, the wounds meant nothing. They would heal and he was used to pain, anyway.

After the five minutes mark passed, Elizabeth stopped struggling as her body went limp and her breathing became slower.

Veer heaved a sigh of relief and gestured Aurora to give the healing potions. They had saved some of the best ones for situations like this, so hopefully they wouldn't need to pressure Elara.

As much as he knew how much her healing meant for them, he didn't want her to be in pain and in possible chance of losing humanity unless it was absolutely necessary.

He stood up, carrying Elizabeth's limp body in his hands. Then, he carried her to the makeshift bed of stones and some clothes. He gently placed her there, looking at her in concern.

"V, here," Aurora said as she passed a green potion to Veer.

Taking the bottle from her, Veer opened the lid and made Elizabeth drink it. When he saw that she was struggling to drink, he used his mana to help her assimilate it.

Slowly, her breathing returned to normal and hopefully if there was an injury, it would be healed by the potion.

Veer spent some time checking on her health and only calmed down when he was sure she was completely fine.

He sighed and turned around to look at the two girls who had joined them on some floating islands. They both were from the Royal Academy, so he had some trust in them...some. fortunately, Elizabeth trusted them a lot so he could be rest assured on that part.

"Take good care of her," Veer ordered. "If I find anything happened to her..."

"Don't worry, I'm also staying here," Aurora said. "I'll inform you if anything happens or if she wakes up. I doubt it'll be early though. Also, what do you think? Is she still the Elizabeth we know?"

Veer didn't answer and instead looked at Elizabeth, her status to be exact. However, he didn't find anything different in it so he asked the system, 'Can you help?'

[Sadly, no!]

'Thought so...' Veer sighed in dejection. He then thought of something and said, "Rock, call Sikander and say it's very important. If he doesn't come, say we'll leave and there would be no food supplies to him."

Some might consider him crazy to actually threaten a Saint Stage powerhouse, but after staying with the obsidian elf for over a year, he had began to understand his personality and knew he wouldn't get offended on small things like this.

Rock nodded and left the room. The place where Sikander stayed wasn't far away so he returned soon too, with the tall, Obsidian elf following him behind in dishvealed clothes.

He dragged himself into the room and cast a annoyance filled gaze at Veer, saying, "It better be something good otherwise I'll throw you to that Leviathan myself."

"It's important," Veer said, pointing towards Elizabeth. "Take a good look at her and tell me if it's still the same Beth we know or something had awakened inside her."

Hearing that, Sikander's sleep vanished as he turned to look at Elizabeth. Even someone like him feared those unknown existences that might sense Elizabeth's visions.

Frowning slightly, he went closed and touched her forehead. Veer didn't know what he was doing, as he just stayed in that posture for ten seconds before laughing, "Haha, Seers are really the most wretched creature of fate."

"If you're laughing then she's the Beth we know?" Veer asked.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about that. She is still the little seer of yours," Sikander chuckled and said. "It's just that she suffered a lot in her visions and some of that damage passed through the tapestry of fate and damaged her. As long as she's mentally strong, she will survive fine."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief hearing that, as Veer asked, "How long do you think she will take to wake up?"*

"It shouldn't take long since the damage itself was minimal. The opponent she faces was probably very weaker but their Aspect had some kind of powerful ability which passed through the fate," Sikander said, once again yawning. "Anyways, I'm off now. I need to sleep."

Veer didn't keep him for long and just focused on Elizabeth who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Hopefully, she would wake up soon.

Thinking of that, he turned towards triplets and said, "You three also stay here and help around. Rock will guide you. Well, you can do all of that later, I mean. For now, you can just find a place to eat and rest."

"Boss, we aren't exhausted so we can still help," Jarek said. "After so much time, I've even forgotten what rest means."

"That's why I'm telling you to rest, idiot," Veer gave a chop on his head and said. "Just take a rest, only then you can help me better. We will probably head to defeat the boss once Beth wakes up."

"Understood, Boss!"

All three of them gave a salute to him, making him shake his head. So, he just ignored them and gave a nod at Rock, who understood his assignment.

Then, Veer left the tunnel and went to Sikander's room, where he found the elf sitting cross legged with a frown on his face.

'I was right,' Veer thought as he entered the room. He then said, "Anything wrong?"

"Yes, it can become wrong," Sikander said, not a slight bit of surprise in his eyes as if he knew Veer would come. "I said it lightly, but any attack that can pass through fate is very dangerous since it can affect you accross the time."

"That does seem like a big deal," Veer said, as he came to sit on a stone chair. "Any suggestions?"

"You have been fighting non-stop for last year and always won even when the Dark Metal Slate malfunctioned. Why do you want my help now?" Sikander chuckled and asked.

"Because I'm also at my wits end," Veer sighed, closing his eyes as he rested his head against the cold, stone surface. "My mind is beyond exhaustion and I can't think of anything."

"Your mind does have a change..." Sikander muttered. "Anyway, the most I can help you with is that there isn't any reality warping creature on This Island."

"How are you so sure?" Veer asked, still having his eyes closed.

"Because I known this Floating Island. Infact, I've seen it's destruction with my own eyes," Sikander said in an unusual serious tone. "It belonged to my best friend in a way since this was his territory."

Veer's eyes snapped open as he focused on his words. He had been waiting for a year already to learn anything from Sikander so this moment was important for him.

Sikander didn't mind his behaviour as his mind was replaying the memories of Dark Era.

"Looking at the Floating Island, you might assume that the region my best friend controlled was a sand desert. But it's a lie. This whole region was known as BlackWater back then."

"Blackwater?" Veer muttered in confusion.

"Yes, Blackwater because the region was a land of rain. Throughout the year, rain would curse the land, drowning it sometimes. But it's people were strong and never gave up on their land and continued to build their homes again and again and just again."

He paused for a second and then continued.

"It was a wonderful area until the Doomed War consumed it in the fire of chaos. Nothing remained as it was because everyone was dragged to fight in the war. There was practically no other option."

His gaze turned distant, as he added.

"Then, one day when They were fighting a horde of Corruption, Al—."

All of a sudden, he stopped and chuckled.

"I can't even say his profane name to you. Consider him as Holder, yeah, holder. That name suits that bitch."

"Old man, you've learned to curse," Veer chuckled and said. "Be a little civil. Also, why Holder?"

"I'm not telling," Sikander shrugged and added. "Anyway, that Holder bitch has control over many concepts and one of them was weather. That became the problem."

Veer frowned and remembered how the floating islands was filled with storms. Were they related to this Holder guy? Now, he was even more curious about Sikander's story.
