Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her - Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Attack from a Demi-God
The danger of a Demi-God was too huge, so Veer didn’t even want to think about anything else. Even if Seisha was a Leviathan, he wasn’t going to abandon her just because of fear of the Demi-God.

Ignoring everything else, he climbed the stone stairs leading to the throne. The throne itself was made entirely of cobblestone, with smooth surface.

At the centre of seat, there was a small switch which was easy to miss. He pressed it, as the middle section shifted like tectonic plates.

A small, square hole appeared before him with a strange Rune at the bottom of it. Without wasting any time, Veer placed the Dark Metal Slate in it.

The moment Runes of Throne and the Dark Metal Slate connected, the world began to shake and it just grew in intensity by every second passed.

Veer wanted to watch the scene of floating island falling apart, but the mist didn’t allow it. There was only a small gap, and it wasn’t enough to see things through.

‘Well, I can’t even go outside. Whatever! It’s not like it’s the last Island I’ll be dropping!’

Veer sighed and went down the throne where everyone was waiting for him, including the dark obsidian elf. He was just sitting on the ground, busy thinking something of his own.

Ignoring him, Veer stood by his group and waited. The ground beneath them continued to shake as if the a huge earthquake had came. Fortunately, they held on to their ground and didn’t fall.

In just over the minute, the destruction finally reached them. They could see it from the gap, as the ground disintegrated and began to fall in the sky below.

In the next moment, it reached the mist and destroyed the ground beneath it. Veer half expected the seal to be broken, but it was held tightly together.

The mist still contained in the barrier, as it fell down in the sky below, leaving the throne and it’s surroundings ground the only piece of land.

Their surroundings became clear, with winds howling around them. The destruction also stopped after crossing the white line, showing the line the seal worked.

Veer suddenly felt his heart shaking, as he put his hand on his chest. He didn’t know what it was, but he felt as if he had brushed off certain death.

His legs automatically took him towards the edge, but two soft hand dropped on his shoulder and stopped him. It was then a freezing cold permeated throughout his being, bringing him back to clarity.

He dropped back on the ground, his back filled with sweat and his heart pounding hard against his chest. He couldn’t hear anything, he couldn’t see anything. He could feel nothing.

“V! What happened? V!!!”

‘Veer, wake up. Don’t let this get to you.’

His eyes snapped open, and he realised he could see everything again. There were loud voices around him, and something shaking him as his visions went up and down.

It took a few moments for him to calm down and get back in a state where he could think properly again. He touched his forehead, still feeling his heart struggling to hold against the invisible constraints.

‘W-What?’

“Huh? You actually woke up?”

He heard the familiar voice beside him and turned only to see the dark elf looming over him. His eyes held pure interest and curiosity, as he looked at Veer, “How did you do it, brat?”

“What?” Veer held his forehead, trying to understand what happened with him. Before he could do so, he felt something soft pressing against his back as he heard a soft whisper.

“You’re fine, right?”

Veer hummed, letting Aurora hug him as he went over the encounter. It was so weird that he couldn’t even understand it properly.

So, he turned towards Sikander and asked, “What happened?”

“Hmm, take some rest first and I’ll explain then,” Sikander said, his gaze still studying him. “I’ll handle our Island’s direction to the next Floating Island.”

Saying that, he ascended the stairs and sat on his throne. Then, he smiled and thought, ‘This brat might actually do it. No wonder those Primevals could guard the Blasphemy for such long time. How did one end up here anyway?’

Lost in thought, he activated the functions of the throne, as a transperant barrier formed around them that shielded them from the terrifying wind currents and storms.

With a flick of his finger, he flew the small island towards a distant Floating Island. Looking at it, Sikander thought, ‘That might be that bastards island. Heh, I hope I see your corrupted version.’

At the bottom of stairs, Veer sat with his group, eyes closed as he tried to calm himself. Even if his mind was calm now, his body was still shaking and shivering. He could feel the lingering fear from whatever had caused this.

“Do you think he did it?” Elara asked.

“I don’t think so, he can kill all of us easily even in his weakened state, after all,” Veer replied. “Whatever it was, it was terrifying and horrific. My body is still feeling as if I’ve washed in a river of fear.”

“Let’s wait for his explanation then,” Aurora said, before turning towards Elizabeth who was sitting with her eyes lost. The blonde elf frowned and asked, “What happened to you?”

However, she didn’t get any response. They were so busy in looking at Veer’s abnormal behaviour that they didn’t even notice her strange signs.

Rain shook Elizabeth’s shoulder, but she didn’t even flinch, or blink. Her eyes slowly turned pure white and her skin began to turn paler.

“Hey, can you hear me?” Elara asked. When she didn’t get any answer even after asking her a few time, she clicked her tongue and stretched her hand to heal her…from whatever she was suffering from.

“Don’t bother, your Godfire won’t heal her,” Sikander said, coming down the stairs. “I’m already surprised by the fact that your flames can actually heal. But no, This won’t do.”

“What happened, Elder?” Aurora asked, being respectful as she was. After all, Sikander was her and Veer’s ancestor in one way or another, so it was basic courtesy.

“Elder, huh. It’s been a long time since someone called me that,” Sikander chuckled and crouched near Elizabeth. “She’s a Seer, isn’t she?”

“Yes, can’t you tell?” Elara asked, assuming that he could see through them easily.

“Yes, but not exactly,” Sikander muttered, and touched Elizabeth’s forehead. After holding it for ten seconds, he flicked his fingers and tapped her glabella three times.

“Begone!”

With just one word, icy wind rose around them making their hair stand. A playful smirk played on Sikander’s lips but there was also a hidden emotion in his eyes as he said, “Wake up, poor child.”

Elizabeth’s eyes slowly returned back to normal, while her skin became rosy again. Surprisingly, she didn’t panic or showed any signs of confusion.

She just sat there, silent and a solemn look on her face. Then, she sighed and said, “Thank you for helping me.”

“I have a soft heart for unfortunate ones,” Sikander chuckled before focusing his attention back on Veer. “What you experienced just now was just a miniscule attack of that Leviathan.”

They felt a chill running down their spine, hearing that.

Seeing confusion on Veer’s face, Sikander elaborated.

“Initially, it didn’t want to use it’s power so it was coming at you at it’s pace. However, when it sensed the island floating apart, it used a fragment of its power to turn you into a Nothing Creature. Now, don’t ask what they are, just knew that they were the things both sides of Doomed War Feared.”

“But why would a Demi-God go through all of that when it could just kill me with a thought?” Veer asked in confusion.

Because of how much mess they were in, they didn’t even think about something so obvious. The Leviathan was a Demi-God, the being who even affected the visions.

“It’s complicated. Just know that it’s related to Corruption,” Sikander smiled. “Demi-Gods are beings who had transcended the concepts of this world, but even they can’t escape the corruption. However, they can still fight it and delay it’s takeover.”

“But using it’s power will increase the pace at which the corruption takes over?” Veer made a guess.

“Correct. That’s why it wasn’t using it’s powers, and keeping everything sealed but there’s no point of doing all that if it’s going to fall down, right?” Sikander chuckled and looked down.

“On the ground, the corruption will surely win and the Demi-God Leviathan would fade away from this world, leaving a Corrupted Creature of Demi-God rank.”

He smiled and said, “Heh, you can guess what it means.”

Veer felt silent, looking down and wondering about their future. He couldn’t even see them clearing all of the floating islands, but now things just got worse.

Even if they succeeded, a Demi-God Corrupted Leviathan would be waiting to eat them.

‘What a fucked up world I am in!’
