Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her - Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Ready to Face the Boss
Aurora had learned to make a lot of things through her Runemaster alone, not to mention she had also delved in forging too. So, she handled all the construction work, including their tents and their functions.

Fortunately, they had explored many floating islands and accumulated a plethora of things. Some useless and some so important they added to their main arsenal.

Most of those useless things were used by Aurora to make the many daily life things they could carry around. These tents with good bathroom was just proof of her skills.

It didn’t even feel like they were in amidst of a hell.

Veer took his time to get refreshed and then came out wearing a gray leather armour over his body suit. Surprisingly, their body suit still worked even after being contested against Harrowing beings.

Shaking his useless thoughts off, he came out of his tent and looked around. He was ready with his light armour for defence, Stormcaller Spear for offense in his right and a dark wooden wand in his left hand.

Stormcaller Spear could channel his mana for the Spells, but it was still worse than a wand. So, Veer had learned to dual wield over the past year.

Now, he could fight with his weapons through his right hand and cast dozens of spell through his wand on left hand. It provided to be lethal so he had never changes it.

He shook his wet blonde hair lightly and commanded, “Assemble!”

In the next moment, the world blurred as Rain appeared before him in her classic light dark suit, that provided her a high defence.

She carried two curved daggers in both of her hand, while two more were sheathed on her waist. There were also a few hidden weapons she carried for emergencies.

As for how she would use it, her tail offered her a lot assistance.

She sat down on the ground and said, “I’m here, Boss!”

The next one to arrive was Aurora who simply jumped down from the tower. Her blonde hair fluttered in the wind, making her look even more mesmerizing.

She wore a simple set of armour while she played with her needle in her right hand. That was her only weapon and the only thing she needed really, well aside from her arrows.

Before she could announce her presence, Elara landed right before her, as sand flew up on her landing. She winked at her sister wife and said, “We are here.”

Elara was… Elara. She hadn’t changed much over the year and instead of learning more and more techniques, she had focused on mastering her old techniques and also her flames.

With her flames, she didn’t really need anything else. Her skills were on par with Veer and in many areas, she excelled actually.

The next to announce his presence was the big guy of their team. Rock walked towards them, as the ground shook with his every step.

He had assumed his giant form that towered over them like a small mountain. Coupled with his heavy armour, he looked like a walking tank.

In his hand, he carried a stone hammer that was as big as an adult human male. He had destroyed a lot of Magical Creatures with just one hit of his hammer.

In his other hand, he carried a stone shield called Saint’s Shroud, something they had found after defeating a floating island’s Boss.

Rock looked down at Veer and went on his knees, as his deep voice sounded from behind his helmet, “I am here, Boss!”

The last to join them was their Seer, the mage of their group and someone who had saved them so many times that they had lost count over the last year.

Elizabeth wore a simple blazer over her battle suit, as she walked towards them. A wooden wand with a jewel on it’s carved tip swayed in her hand as she walked towards them.

She smiled at them and said, “You guys don’t need to worry about me, really. We have seen worse and survived together. Do you really think anything would break me now?”

“I mean, I can try blasting you with a few explosion but that’ll blow you up or maybe melt your body, but not break,” Elara muttered, but shrugged later.

“Alright, my little minions, are you all ready to spank that bitchass’s ass?” Veer asked with a grin as he spread his arms wide open. “You can hug me to show you accept my proposal, though that doesn’t include you, Rock.”

Veer wanted to say more but when he felt the dangerous gazes on him, he coughed and said, “Anyways, let’s go down. I don’t have any speech!”

“As if you ever had,” Aurora rolled her eyes and said.

Others agreed with her, but Veer casually ignored her and walked past them. He soon reached the pit, which should have been more clear but the Sand Storm really affected the sunlight.

His subordinates were laying on his right, gasping for breaths while some had already fallen asleep. They had really worked hard in the night and carved out a way for them.

Trevor noticed him and quickly sprang up to his feet. He walked upto his leader and smiled, despite feeling fatigue making him sleepy.

He grinned and said, “I told you we would be done by the morning.”

Veer patted his shoulders and said, looking directly in his eyes, “Good job! I wanted to say that to everyone but I guess it’ll have to wait.”

He looked down in the pit and said, “Now, you can just wait here while we go down and deal with the main threat.”

Trevor’s expression turned serious as all sleep vanished from his eyes. He knew what kind of monster his leader was going to face and that thought chilled him.

Even if they had worked hard all night, it meant nothing compared to what Veer and others were going to do. And that was the exact reason they had taken him as their leader.

Trevor took a deep breath and said, “Come back safely, Boss. You’re my only rival in handsomeness so I still need to surpass you.”

“Haha! You’ll have to wait till eternity then because no way you’re ever beating me,” Veer chuckled and then said. “We’re going then.”

He gestured to his group and then jumped down in the pit. There was a path that Trevor and his group had carved out for others, but it would take too much time.

So, Veer and others simply jumped down a few times and landed on the pit’s base where the only light source was the small diagonal entrance leading upwards.

Elara clicked her fingers, illuminating tha area around them and said, “It’s just a cave…”

Indeed, it was the cave and a natural one at that. Trevor had actually found the main underground cave leading to the centre of the floating islands.

Veer nodded and said, turning to his right, “The Boss room should be here. Let’s go!”

Together, they walked down the room for some time before coming to halt. Before them, a giant metal door stood with many ancient runes carved on it.

Even after a thousand years, the metal gate was perfectly clean and looked as if it was carved a few hours ago. The Runes on it were lifelike and Veer realised that if they focused too long on them, they might lose their mind.

However, they had someone else in their group who dealt with these things. Aurora stared at the metal gate for a few seconds before saying, “Give me three minutes and I’ll solve it.”

“Is there any other way to open it?” Veer asked.

“No! It’s actually a powerful seal but I can break it,” Aurora smiled and said. “Sometimes you don’t need to be powerful to break strong things.”

Veer shrugged and backed away. Others did the same and gave her the time she needed.

Looking at his side where Rock stood, Veer raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you shrink your size?”

“Yes, the cave was too small,” Rock’s voice came from behind his helmet. “I can increase it in an instant, though.”

“That’s good! By the way, do you have bloodline of Giants or what?” Veer asked. “I always wondered if it’s your Bloodline or your Aspect doing this thing.”

“It’s probably Bloodline because my Aspect is more focused on defence,” Rock replied, clenched his big fists. “Are there any Giants alive, Boss?”

“Not exactly the Ancients ones but their descendants definitely,” Veer said with a nod. “I have even met a Flame Giant. He was almost hundreds metre tall with flames covering over his skeleton.”

“I will search for them after we get out of here,” Rock muttered.

“Done!” Aurora’s lips tugged upwards as she shouted. Crossing her hand under her chest, she said. “We can enter anytime you want.”

“There is no point in waiting,” Veer said as his eyes turned cold. “Rock, defend us from it’s first strike. El and Beth will support you.”
