Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 140: Darkness

[A/N- Headache is killing me so I’ll edit later. Sorry for only one chapter]

Veer stood rooted to the ground, as his mind went numb from Ancestor Feng’s words. It was as if someone had dropped a nuclear bomb in his mind, killing any thought process.

Standing beside him, Elara grew confused over their conversation as she couldn’t understand them. But when she saw Veer’s horrified expression, her blood ran cold as she quickly took his face in her hand.

"Hey, Dumbo, what happened?" She asked, only to get no response. She looked in his eyes and they were dark as abyss, making her question what they talked about.

Gritting her teeth, she turned around and screamed, "What did you say to him?"

She didn’t even care if the being before her was someone from Dark Era. All she knew was that her lover was hurt because of him.

"Hmm? The Selero language? Is that the one everyone speaks nowadays?" Ancestor Feng asked, not a bit worried about Veer or Elara.

"As for your question, I just told him a truth and it seems like he can’t accept it. Well, I wouldn’t have done that but I expected him to know of his origin."

Elara narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I won’t indulge much information as it seems your higher ups are hiding from you, so I’ll respect them," Ancestor Feng nodded, though it wasn’t clear because of his spirit form.

"All I can tell you is that he has the Ainsworth Royal High Elf Bloodline along with a very nasty Demon Bloodline."

Elara was dumbstruck and for a moment, she wanted to deny it. But why would Ancestor Feng lie to them over such a thing?

"But it’s impossible. Demons and Elves are mortal enemies and they would prefer dying over mating with each other," Elara asked, as she held Veer’s hand tightly.

"That is something even I’m finding hard to believe but it is what it is. The world is really full of surprises, huh."

"But..."

Before Elara could speak further, Veer pulled her and said, "It’s fine."

Looking at him with concern, Elara backed off. Still, she held his hand to show him she was there for him. On surface, it seemed like Veer was completely fine but she doubted otherwise.

Mother.

That word was forbidden for Veer as he was the Bastard of Elf Emperor. Apparently, once the Elf Emperor had wanted to let off some steam and mated with a human woman.

The resulting child was Veer, whome he had taken back to home. Of course, because of this he faced the humiliation even though his Dad protected him the best he could.

Veer had always found his mother pitiful as she was stripped of her child and she didn’t even get a husband for her. It was a cruel fate and Veer hated his father for that.

He had always wanted to meet her but his father never gave away his mother’s identity and never let him set foot on the human continent.

In fact, nobody knew who his mother was because the Elf Emperor had told no one about her. Apparently, he wanted to keep her safe from his status.

Veer understood it all but still despised his father for that. But now that he learned that his mother wasn’t a human, it was clear his father had lied to him.

Why?

He had a few guesses just from the fact that he had Demon Bloodline. Elves and Demon were mortal enemies and the hatred so was high that it was an unknown order to kill each other on sight.

If it was revealed that a demon conceived the Elf Emperor’s child, it would cause a huge riot and may ever led to war. Not to mention that Veer would be executed publicly.

’Old man...I swear I’ll pluck your beard out.’

Veer had also doubted Ancestor Feng’s words so after he returned to normal, he checked with the system. He remembered something in his status panel he had missed before.

[Bloodline - Royal High Elf/ ?]

There was a question mark beside his Elf Bloodline. It was clear he possessed one more bloodline that he couldn’t access to and he didn’t need to ask anyone to know who would seal it.

Veer took a deep breath to calm his rapid beating heart and asked, "Is the Demon Bloodline powerful?"

Normally, if there was a huge difference between two Bloodline, the higher and more powerful Bloodline would devour the weaker one to get stronger. But it was impossible to do with similiar Tier Bloodlines.

Since Ancestor Feng could sense his demon bloodline then it meant it was still there. And that could only mean that there wasn’t a huge difference in his demon and elf bloodline.

Royal High Elf Bloodline was one of the strongest in existence.

"Yes, atleast in my Era. You’re an Anomaly and your Elders must have also known this. There must be some reason they kept this information from you so I wouldn’t disclose anything."

That killed all of his hopes to know more about his bloodline. Still, he had already a learned a lot on this matter so he was satisfied.

He bowed his head and said, "Thanks for informing me."

Elara also bowed, a little happy that Veer was fine and they were talking in their language. It was easier to understand this way.

"We got off the topic, huh. Since you’re his descendant, I can...hmm? Wait! Girl, can you use your Aspect?"

Veer flinched slightly and cursed mentally, ’Damn these old people. Why the hell can they all just see us through? Oii! System, atleast provide us with some privacy security.’

[The Host can draw that if he is lucky. Since Host has dotted on his wife, he has accumulated points. Would Host like to use the points?]

’Never mind. I’ll do later!’

Elara gave a long look to Ancestor Feng before bringing out her incandescent flames, which burned brighter than ever. It instantly created a warm atmosphere around him, making him relax.

"It...it really is the GodFire! I can’t believe it! GodFire... Ainsworth...can we really overcome this?"

Veer and Elara weren’t that surprised to see Ancestor Feng’s reaction, as they had already concluded that Elara’s Aspect played a huge role in the Bloodthorn Labyrinth.

Otherwise, Iron Woman wouldn’t have kept Elara especially. However, they were still surprised to see that even someone like Ancestor Feng was shocked.

They waited for him to calm down, as he then began to laugh.

"Haha! I thought it’s the end for everyone but I was wrong. If it’s you two, then maybe there is a chance. Hmm, Martial Saint must have seen your Aspect and sent you here to confront me."

"Elder, we’ve been wandering with no clue whatsoever so can you give us some clues on what is going on here and what should we do?" Veer asked.

Ancestor Feng nodded and said, "Yes, that is why I’ve been saving my energy till now. I have already died a thousand years ago and this is just a fragment of my Soul. Anyway, what is happening here is that a seal is getting loose and once it breaks, the world will be doomed."

"Is it about the being sealed in the Central Island? Can you tell us anything about it?" Veer asked, curious to get any information on the Dark Era.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Ancestor Feng chuckled and said, "Easy boy. You shouldn’t eat more than you can chew. Knowing more about our Era while you’re weak can lead you to your death. I have no problem in sharing it but you’ll just fall for corruption."

"Wait! Corruption?"

"Yes, it’s mainly caused by the Forbidden Knowledge and don’t ask me what that is. Because even I don’t know, as I’ve separated my corrupted Soul so my memories of it also got separated."

Veer shivered hearing that. Just how strong and daring one had to be to cut even their own soul and still live. He suddenly thought of the stone which held the Corrupted Mana, making him form some connections.

"All I will say is that never underestimate Corruption. It is what led to the End of our Era. Never try to find more than you can handle otherwise you’ll just fall for it’s victim."

Ancestor Feng’s voice held a strange melancholy when he warned Veer. Then, shaking his head, he said.

"Anyway, I’ll tell you a short boring story. Once when the world was splitting apart from the wars, there roamed a creature. It was made full of darkness darker than Black, and devoured everything it found. Nothing escaped it’s maws."

Veer’s eyes widened as a memory flashed in his mind. Meanwhile Ancestor Feng continued.

"The Powerful were busy keeping the world together so no one could deal with it. It was then a few people from various races emerged. A total of fifty races, to be exact. They were the best those races has to offer and they took it upon themselves to end the darkness."

He sighed, as his soul wavered slightly, "Unfortunately, the darkness prevailed and all of them were defeated."
