Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 216: Final Act

Phantom Slash was a powerful and tireless skill which allowed him to think of a move he would do and send a Phantom of his to perform that move before he did.

His phantom was faster in attack speed and carried 90% of his strength both Magical and Physical type.

It was a skill that let him catch his opponents off gaurd and also see if they had something hidden up their sleeves. After all, his phantom could be destroyed and he wouldn't suffer at all.

The downside of this skill was that his opponent could predict his next move since he couldn't change his attack once he used the Phantom Slash.

If his Phantom did a vertical slash then he needed to do the same. Even if he didn't want to, his body would follow up automatically.

So, he used this skill mostly on Magical Creatures or when he wanted to catch his opponent off gaurd, just like how he did with the Sand Rustle.

It couldn't even react when the Phantom Slash hit it and then Veer followed right after, destroying a chunk of it's chest.

Sadly, it was just a sand which the creature would gather again to heal it's wounds. This was the reason Veer hated these Magical Creatures in this desert.

They were too annoying to deal with.

Veer suddenly vanished from his spot when a few sand spikes came out of the ground. Fortunately, while the creature was encased in the sand body, it's influence outside was low.

It could either go full offensive by revealing itself or he defensive and suffer.

Whatever it was, Veer didn't care as he appeared above it and muttered, "Blazing Strike! Version 2.O!"

Instantly, his ironclad spear sheathed in crimson flames as he thrusted it at the skull of the Sand Giant.

However, that wasn't all.

Veer also used his Sand Manipulation to get the control of sand from the Sand Rustle. But of course that was impossible as he struggled against the Lord creature's tyrannical will to control the same.

But he achieved his goal, which was to weaken the sand on it's skull a little. The creature also realised and tried to tighten it's hold, but Veer was exerting his will on the sand to counter it.

In a heartbeat, Veer's Stormcaller Spear penetrated the skull, breeching it's defences and destroyed something inside of it.

The sand came undone as it dropped back on the ground, blowing with the rapid winds.

Veer noticed that they had grown stronger, which meant that the Sand Tsunami they all feared was coming rapidly at them, carrying the omen of their destruction with it.

He sighed and ignored the pieces of mana Shard laying on the ground. They weren't that important to him and others didn't have time to do anything with it.

'Anything you found?' Veer asked to his wives as he resumed his journey.

Elara was the first to reply as her voice sounded, mixed with the familiar teasing.

'Yeah, I found a sketch in your backpack. Hehe, the position looks interesting...ropes...hehehehe.'

Veer almost stumbled forward hearing that. Fortunately, Masters had a good balance so he quickly stablized himself.

He coughed and said, 'I was just playing around, though we can certainly try new things once we're out of here!'

'Haha! Sure, sure. As for your other question, I'm resting inside a tent so I don't know much but I don't sense anyone aside from Seisha!'

Well, atleast she had retained her emotions even though her voice sounded a little off. It would certainly take some time before she returned to normal.

Veer smiled and asked to his other wife, 'What about you?'

'Just some worms that I've already taken off. Focus on your own battle!'

Veer nodded, ignoring her angry tone. Why did she get angry again?

[Probably because you didn't draw her sketch!]

Veer sighed and decided to deal with it later.

For the rest of the night, he continued to kill the powerful creatures who dared venture near their camp. Fortunately, he only encountered Lord-Stage Magical Creatures rarely.

After all, he had managed to deal with Sand Rustle because he knew it's weakness and it was also on the weaker end of Lord Stage powerhouses.

Even he would struggle to finish of true Lord Stage Magical Creatures, which was a shame actually because he felt he was a disappointment as a protagonist.

He was struggling to deal with creatures of same rank as him, but other protagonists would kill three ranks higher beings with a wave of their sword.

'Whatever! Atleast we are safe!'

[It's probably because these are all Ancient abominations and carry that blood too so they're on the strongest side. If you fight Magical Creatures of outside world, I'm sure you'll be able to slay them easily.]

"Oya! Did my dear ciel actually consol me?" Veer was stunned at first but then quickly got back in teasing her.

[Go to hell!!]

'I already am in hell!'

If he was being honest, Veer agreed with Ciel's logic since he had seen Five Advanced Rank students being completely outmatched by the same Sand Rustle he had slained.

They had also worked hard and survived this hell of a place, yet they died so pitifully.

All in all, it wasn't him who was the problem but the creatures he was facing.

As he contemplated those thoughts, he noticed the wind pacing beginning to increase more and more.

By the time morning came, he could barely see the sun in distance because of the sand tornadoes reaching high up in the sky and also because the rapid wind carried sand with it.

'I guess I should return now. Even though abominations wouldn't dare to come out now!'

Thinking of that, he raced back towards his camp. It would have been hard if he didn't have two wives sitting there. He just used them as a sign to reach the main camp.

All of a sudden, his instincts began tingling as danger washed over him. In the past few months, aside from the bosses, no one had made him fell this much danger.

His heart sank as he guessed that a Great Stage Magical Creatures might have attacked the camp. But that only made him more calm and cool headed.

He rotated his Stormcaller Spear and parried the incoming attack from his right from where he had sensed the danger.

However, he was in for a surprise.

Instead of the fang or mutated limbs he had expected, a sharp dark red dagger collided with the spear's shaft, making Veer's grip on it tighten as the impact almost pushed him back.

'That dagger!!' Veer's gaze landed on the dagger as he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Rain! It's me!"

The furious storm of sand had obscured their vision so it was no wonder that Rain thought a powerful monsters had attacked their camp.

"Boss!! I'm sorry!" Rain came closer, though soon received a bonk on her head. "Ouch! What was that for?"

"What if I was some mimicking monster? Huh? Why did you drop your guard so easily?" Veer scolded her, though a smile played on his lips.

"I'm sorry, Boss. I'll be careful from next time," Rain lowered her head and said, rubbing the spot where Veer had bonked her.

"Let's go!" Veer shook his head and grabbed her hand before continuing to walk towards the camp.

Rain was close to the camp and was actually guarding it so they soon reached there. Surprisingly, Aurora's barrier held on against the sand storm and didn't let a single sand particle in their camp.

As they walked inside, they were greeted by a dark pit that seemed to be connected to the Abyss itself. It reached so deep that even Veer couldn't make out it's end, or maybe it was just because Trevor and others had dug the pit diagonally.

Aurora's voice floated over to them in the next second.

"Get yourself refreshed, especially your clothes so we can go down!"

Veer raised his head and looked at Aurora who was sitting on one of the light towers while playing with her Needle.

He had asked her about the needle and apparently it was a Soulbound Artefact that grew alongside the user. As she was at advanced Stage, her needle had also evolved to meet her needs.

Smiling at her, he asked, "Care to join me?"

"Then, I don't think we can defeat that guy," Aurora replied with a smirk. "We will be quite busy so just get over it."

"Are they done?" Veer asked, looking down in the pit.

"Almost! I'll alert others so they'll be ready to move," Aurora paused for a while before adding. "She also came here."

"Beth? I told her to rest..." Veer sighed, rubbing his eyes. "How did she even find... actually never mind. I'll go get changed!"

He turned around and said to Rain, "Wear that Feather of Truth today. It'll come in handy!"

"Gotcha!" Rain saluted and both of them left to change.

Their clothes, bodies and even hair were filled with sand so they really needed some cleaning.
