Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Plans
After they had their fun, Veer and others properly sat in Elizabeth’s room. They also kept an eye on her in case she woke up because she was equally important on these matters.

Others weren’t invited because they had left the decision making on them. The more opinions were given, the longer it took to decide on anything.

While it was a good method as they could get many options, they didn’t have time to do all that. So, all of them just shifted the decision making on Veer and others.

It wasn’t a problem for them as the majority of them were from Starlight Academy and Royal Academy. Starlight Academy already knew about Veer and others, especially regarding Aurora, so they didn’t have any problems.

The same went for Royal Academy students. Elizabeth was quite famous in the Academy and had many followers of her, especially because of her background.

So, there was no one who would oppose their decision.

Seeing everyone seated, Veer cleared his throat and spoke, “So, as usual, as we have a time limit to clear this floating island now. Apparently there is a sand tsunami coming to kill us all.”

“Sand tsunami?” Victor asked in confusion. “Like a flood of sand with high tides and all that? Like a proper tsunami, but instead of water there will be sand?”

“Pretty much, yeah. And once that comes, we’re dead,” Veer nodded and said in a casual tone as if he was talking about normal stuff, and not our impending death.

“How long do we have?”

“I don’t know,” Veer shrugged. “That’s why we need to act quickly before we die to a fucking tsunami. Imagine someone who survived fighting saints, escaped from demi-gods and died because of a tsunami.”

While the Triplets thought that he was just joking, others knew how true it was so they couldn’t help but crack a smile.

“So, we leave as soon as Elizabeth opens her eyes,” Veer said. “And if she takes time, then we will just need to carry her on our backs because we can’t afford losses here.”

“Got it! But where are we searching?” Aurora asked.

“The only possible place is the center of the floating islands and my gut feeling is also saying that,” Veer said. “And by centre, I meant the literal centre so we will need to explore the caves.”

“We can just bulldoze our way in!” Elara said coolly. “If we work together, I don’t think it’ll take long before we dig a hole right through this whole floating island. Also, there are no corruption creatures sealed here so we don’t need to worry about that.”

“There aren’t? How do you know that?” Aurora frowned and asked.

Veer stared at Elara for a moment and said, “She’s right. There aren’t any corrupted creatures here so we can try this method. How thick do you think the island is?”

“Should be around 2 kilometres deep,” Aurora answered. “When we were coming here, I examined the island. It shouldn’t cross that amount.”

“So, we need to dig around a kilometre of ground,” Veer sucked in a cold breath, as that was a huge number. But he was also confident in his capabilities.

After all, he wasn’t just a physical body guy. He could also use spells to destroy more and do many things.

“It’ll be funny if we dropped right on that boss,” Jarek laughed, thinking of that ridiculous scenario.

However, he noticed the silence in the room and blinked in confusion, feeling many gazes on him. He forced a smile and said, “It was a joke, guys. I’m sorry for that.”

“No, that’s actually a valid concern,” Veer said with a nod. “It’s a Saint Stage or somewhere along the lines so there is no way it wouldn’t notice us. And that’s more than enough for it to slaughter our asses.”

Sikander was just too strong and if even he had said that the Holder guy was strong, it spoke of his strength. So, Veer didn’t want to take any risks, even if it was just his remnants they would be fighting.

“Alright, so what do we do?” Aurora asked.

Veer hummed and turned to look at Rain. He smiled and asked, “Can you run a lap around this island and tell me how big it actually is?”

Rain seemed confused and then she looked down in embarrassment as she said, “I’m sorry Boss but I really don’t know calculations so I don’t know how I’ll do that.”

“We can send that little girl with her,” Aurora said, remembering one of the students who had joined them. “Her brain is seriously good and she had also worked with me. Her Aspect is also related to something like that so you can take her along.”

“It will slow me down slightly, but that’s fine,” Rain nodded and stood up. Smiling at Veer, she gave a salute and said, “Then, should I leave now? It’ll take an hour or two at least.”

“Yes, please do so. We can use that distance to carve the hole some distance away from the centre. That way, we won’t just head-drop on the boss.”

Rain gave a solid salute and left the room to find the little girl that Aurora spoke about. Though, it was mostly because her height was small and she had awakened earlier than others.

“Can’t we just go through the tunnels?” Jarek asked. “There are many and I know some which lead to unknown undergrounds.”

“That’s the problem. There are just too many of them and exploring them may as well take an eternity,” Veer sighed. “Besides, if the sand tsunami came while we were exploring, we’ll just die there.”

Indeed, they couldn’t do that so the option was out.

“Me, Rock and El can do the heavy work. And if I remember clearly, there are some among them who could help us,” Veer said, before a name came to his mind. “Where is Trevor?”

“I gave him some task,” Aurora answered, having a thoughtful expression on her face. “His Aspect is producing and controlling vibrations… you plan to use them?”

“What is a better way to destroy ground than making earthquakes?” Veer smiled and said. “We can use others as well. It won’t take long.”

“What about the actual fight? Do you think we can think?” Elara asked.

“You met with old man Sikander, haven’t you?” Veer narrowed his eyes and asked. “Did he tell you some secrets?”

Elara never planned to hide it from Veer so she nodded and said, “Yes, but I can’t tell you that so I’ll just help you in my own way.”

“Alright, that’s enough,” Veer nodded at her and turned his attention to Rock. “Can you pick up some heavy materials?”

“Boss, don’t make fun of me,” Rock smiled wryly and said. “Just tell me what to pick up and I’ll even shoulder the world for you. These bones and flesh can lift even mountains.”

Veer chuckled softly and turned towards the Triplets, “What the hell can the three of you do?”

“A lot of things. Like Jarek can fly properly now, I can produce big explosions, Kael is a water mage so he can do those things. Oh yeah, Boss, he has improved quite a bit as he can use water alone in a fight without actually using spells,” Victor recounted everything about them.

While Veer had a basic understanding about them, he knew they must have improved a lot in the last year.

And indeed they had.

Flying was an important resource if he had to say so; he was quite thankful that they finally had someone who could do that.

As for Victor becoming a master of explosives, it was something he had envisioned while guiding him. In fact, he was the one who gave him some ideas about that.

But out of all of them, Kael had improved a lot. While the Triplets didn’t quite understand what Kael did, Veer understood it clearly.

“You’ve actually been using the power of imagination for the last year,” Aurora muttered in mild shock. “That’s really impressive.”

“Is it that impressive?” Kael scratched his back and asked. “I usually just produce lots of water, and then use it however I wish. My control is bad, so the most I can do is Water Slash, something I named myself.”

“You three will be the focus point of this digging operation,” Veer grinned and said. “Don’t you dare slack off now.”

“Boss, what do you think we should choose between fighting that damned abomination and digging a hole in this forsaken island?” Victor asked, having a wide grin on his face.

“I can’t wait to hollow it out,” Jarek said, his hatred for the island no less intense.

“Okay, so we can discuss this later once we get the parameters,” Veer said. “For now, let’s see who will fight the boss.”

“The usual team is best, in my opinion,” Elara said. “Most, if not all, of them would die the moment they faced that wrath. There’s no point in sending them to their death.”

Aurora nodded in agreement.

“We can preserve our strength for that fight and have others dig the hole. I doubt anyone would oppose once they learn that their other choice is fighting a Saint Stage powerhouse.”
