Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Concept of Life
Aurora clicked her fingers, as the Runes on the metal gate began to glow brightly and then the metal gate began to tremble as if struggling against something terrifying.

The Runes glowed even more brightly before they broke in pieces. But Veer and others didn’t get the time to observe that as the gate flung open, sending a power burst of outburst at them.

Yet, it wasn’t even the worst they faced.

A terrible amalgamation of dark flesh came out from the gate at such a speed that even Veer who was already at Master Rani couldn’t react.

However, they had prepared for such outcome after facing dozens of Saint Stage powerhouses in the past one year.

Rock took the blunt of the attack, as he his knee that was already on the ground to support him dug deeper, shattering the earth around him.

The cave began to tremble as if it would come down at them at any moment. It wasn’t made to handle such a powerful impact.

Rock’s bones shuddered from the impact even though it was his shield that took the most damage. He gritted his teeth and struggled to hold against the terrible force.

His muscles hurts open, making even his bulking figure bleed. It would have surely broken more of his body but incandescent flames healed his wounds the moment they appeared.

Elizabeth didn’t stay idle and fired the spelling was preparing before even the metal gate was open.

Long metal spears formed behind her from the spell as she barraged the dark flesh with those spears. It did little damage but it did stop it’s advancement for a moment.

All of it happened in just a second. If it was anyone else facing the Boss, it would taken this single blow to kill them all. Worse of it was that they knew the boss wasn’t even using his power.

It probably just sent a random attack at the invaders to it’s personal realm of rest.

Veer didn’t waste any moment and used his fast speed to get past the metal gate and come face to face with the Final Boss of this Floating Island.

He identified him quickly as like every other boss, he was sitting on his throne, looking at him with it’s single vertical eye.

Veer smiled, jumped back and showed the Runic slate to the boss. In the next moment, a bulging mass of rotting flesh came out of the ground.

The Boss was surprised that Veer actually dodged it and ended up looking at the Runic slate.

The world around them shuddered as a might pressure descended on everyone. Though it’s true effects were only felt the boss.

Landing on his knees, Veer finally had time to look at the Boss and he wished he didn’t look at him.

The Remnant of the Holder guy, as Sikander called him, was just a mass of bubbling, rotting flesh with white pristine bones protruding out of his mangled body.

On top of his head, atleast that was what it looked like because it literally was a brain, a single vertical eye was shuddering and trembling.

A harrowing wail left his many mouths, making Veer weak in legs. As he struggled to stand under the scream, it gradually died out.

‘Here it comes!’ Veer thought, before using his [Vanish] technique to escape his spot. It proved to be a right decision as several vines poped out of the ground and shattered the place he was standing on.

As he appeared a few metres away, Veer took out his wand and looked at his surroundings, assessing it.

It was a big underground hall seemingly having no end as he couldn’t even see it’s end properly. It only had two parallel walls that probably ran till eternity.

‘Probably something related to concept of Space or maybe Void? Whatever it’s called!’

Towering statues stood at different spots of the hall, and a big illumation stone embedded on their hands were the main attraction.

‘Alright! The battlefield is good atleast. Now then, what will you use?’ Veer thought, as the Mangaled pieces of flesh slowly stood up from his throne and stared at Veer.

That single gaze would have made many lose their courage and hope to fight, but Veer and his group was different. They had already become used to the stares of these corrupted beings.

“Kekekekke!!”

An eerie laugh sounded from all sides as the Corrupted monster’s body began to condense and form a shape similar to his previous and orignal self.

It was still terrible to look at and Veer frowned when he saw the flesh becoming denser and taking the shape of a four asked humanoid being.

It’s vertical eye still looked at him from it’s position on the brain. Somehow, Veed had a feeling it wouldn’t be an easy win.

But then again, which was of the Boss fights had been easy?

A grin formed on his lips as he taunted Holder, “Did you use your own flesh after you were killed to become this disgusting?”

The Boss didn’t reply and simply raised two of it’s hand as the ground beneath him trembled before dozens of thorns big as him broke out of the tiled floor.

They were swift and surrounded him before he could react.

Veer’s face still held it’s calm expression as he slammed the bottom of Stormcaller Spear in the floor, sending lightning crackling on every direction as they pulverized the vines and thorns underground.

Holder was going to attack again, but something flashed under it before two of his hands dropped on the ground.

As if they were alive, they continued thrashing around and trying to reach Holder. But the moment two blobs of flesh tried to join, a repulsive effect pushed them away.

Holder slightly lowered his head…brain and looked at his hands. However, then he simply discarded that part of flesh and grew a new pair of hands out of nowhere.

Rain also landed behind Veer and looked at holder Regenerating his hands and clicked her tongue, “I devoured it’s properties of merging but it seems he can just reproduce things.”

“Concept of Life,” Veer muttered with a wry smile on his face. “That’s what we’re dealing with. Fortunately, he’s very weak so can only use lower ends of it.”

“So, I need to devour everything related to concept of Life from him? Got it!” Rain said before she disappeared from the view.

Even Holder looked confused on that as he couldn’t pinpoint Rain’s position. He just knew she was lurking around him somewhere.

Just then, his other friends joined him as an explosive Arrow hit Holder’s head, or atleast tried to buy a fifth hand rise from his head and caught the arrow.

The arrow still did it’s work and exploded. Sadly, the mass of rotten flesh absorbed all the explosion and then exploded itself.

Standing on one of the statues, Aurora clicked her tongue and nocked another arrow. But before she fired it, she changed her position to another statue.

Rock burst out of the metal gate and grew big, reaching almost half the height of the hall. His shield had surprisingly mended itself and also free big to fit him.

Holder stared at all of them for a moment then began to laugh loudly through its countless mouthes.

As if he was trying to match the growing numbers, Holder clapped his two pairs of hands and the best second they were all severed from his shoulder.

Rain once again backed away and landed behind Veer and said, “He is detecting the danger I pose and reacting according to that. Even if I keep everything to myself, it’s getting impossible to hide from it.”

“Don’t worry! We haven’t even started yet,” Veer smiled and said. “And neither have we.”

Resonating with his words, the hall trembled for a moment before large grotesque figures began to rise from the ground.

It was quite an irony how Holder was using Concept of Life to control flesh and wood related stuff. Who would have expected that concept of Life would be used to control rotten flesh?

Veer looked at everything with calm look in his eyes and said, “I guess he wants us to fight his minions first to entertain him.”

“There’s no need for that!”

In the next second, a river of white flames washed over all of them as the terrible wail once again assaulted their eardrums.

The flames receded after a few seconds, leaving the hall empty except for Veer’s ground and Holder standing on his throne.

Elara clenched her fists and said, “V, I know you want to finish it off but can I handle him? My Aspect counters his powers directly.”

Veer frowned and considered her words for a moment, though Holder wasn’t waiting for them so he sent a barrage of attacks from every side.

However, none of them moved from their position as Rock just slammed his shield down, creating a sphere around them which blocked every attack.
