Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 142: The Plan (2)

If Veer said he was shocked, then it would be an understatement. Ancestor Feng had explained the plan, and it really wasn’t very detailed.

In fact, it was so simple and straightforward that Veer doubted he had heard it wrong. But looking at Ancestor Feng, he knew it was true.

The plan was to use all the Dark Metal Slates to drop all fifty Islands to the ground and then go to the Central Island, since it would also drop to the ground.

That was the only way to reach it. Then, they just needed to defeat the Corrupted Dragon. It was so simple.

’Simple my ass!’

Veer clenched his fist and asked, "What kind of suicidal plan is this?"

"The only one that can succeed," Ancestor Feng sighed. "Believe me, if this continued, then the Creature would be released, and I doubt a thousand years were enough for the world to heal and produce powerhouses again. No one can take that creature on, so if it gets released, it’s the end of the world."

"Fucking hell!" Veer cursed. "How the hell are we supposed to defeat that dragon?"

"That is something you will have to figure out," Ancestor Feng said. "We can only guide you."

Veer took a deep breath to calm his mind and then asked, "Can I ask a few questions?"

"Go ahead!"

"You said all of the fifty Islands would drop back to the ground, and you also said that every other race has transformed into corrupted monsters. Meaning, once the Islands go down, all the Corrupted Monsters will come after us because of our Life force and normal mana."

"Pretty much, yeah."

"And we’ll need to actually go to each Floating Island to bring it down too?"

"Yes!"

"That sounds tough! Also, what about Aethryms? Will they help us even though they’re so weak?"

"No, I am going to let them enter the Eternal Slumber."

Veer’s words choked in his throat, as he looked at Ancestor Feng and Badong with eyes wide open.

"They are Corrupted, child," Ancestor Feng sighed. "They can’t survive without my Corrupted Soul, and it’s already getting out of my control. In no time, the Corrupted Mana inside of it will erupt, and their Corruption will turn them into horrifying Abominations. I don’t want that, so I will kill them all personally. I’ve been saving my energy for this."

He turned towards Badong and smiled, though it contained no happiness but pure sadness. "Badong. Forgive me for being so incompetent. Because of me, you’re all going to enter the Eternal Slumber."

Hearing that, Badong dropped on his knees as he said, his voice suppressing the raging emotions, "Please don’t say that, Elder. You did your best, and only because of you, seven generations of our race were able to live. Our fate was to die and become monsters a thousand years ago, but only because of you, so many generations were able to live peacefully."

His head touched the ground as he said, "Please don’t feel bad about us. It is our fate, and we shall live and die with it. We are already grateful to you, as we won’t become those monsters."

Veer couldn’t bring himself to say anything. He just clenched his fist and thought, ’They are going to become extinct for sure this time. Damn it! Is there really no other way?’

Ancestor Feng patted Badong’s head and said, turning towards Veer, "You don’t need to feel pity towards us, Child. We will go away with no pain or struggle, but you will need to go through a lot while carrying the whole world’s responsibility on your shoulders. I don’t want to pressure you, but you are the sole hope of the world now."

He smiled and said, "Go and talk with your friends. You have two hours before I’ll teleport you out of the underground settlement. You will have to see your path from there."

Veer looked down, his eyes closed as he thought about their conversation. Then, his eyes snapped open as they held a different look in them. It was full of calm rage and determination.

Then, he got on his knees and bowed before Ancestor Feng, "I have nothing to offer but accept my bow. I swear I will end that dragon’s life and won’t let that creature out at any cost."

Ancestor Feng chuckled and said, "Don’t worry about it. Compared to you, our sufferings will end in an instant. Be careful, child. Don’t let the world drown you."

Veer nodded and stood up. Grabbing Elara’s hand, who was still standing with her eyes wide open, Veer advanced towards the tunnel entrance.

"One more thing. The GodFire is the name of Corruption. It can’t do anything to that Creature, but it’ll help you. Also, if it gives you any motivation, Martial Saint sounded very confident when she told me this plan. So, I wish you good luck. May the lights bless you!"

Veer didn’t stop and continued to drag Elara, but he did note his words. When they were out of Badong’s reach, he asked, "Are you sure they can achieve it?"

"Who knows! I was already expecting the worst outcome, so this is still better. I think it’s because of these two that Martial Saint sounded confident. We can only hope."

"Thank you, Elder."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Elara had broken out of her reverie, as she asked, "What if he’s lying?"

"I wish he was, but it’s the truth," Veer sighed, as he rubbed his eyes while walking in the dark tunnel. "I have confirmed it."

’Are you really sure?’

[Affirmative. There wasn’t a single lie in his words.]

That made him sigh again. Honestly, he didn’t know how he was feeling. Veer had always considered himself to be a protagonist, but most of the time it was a joke.

Now, he hoped it was true and that he would succeed.

"Let’s go! We will save the world," Elara chuckled, as she lit up a spark of flame and swung her arm over his shoulder. "There’s no point being depressed about it. It’s either we succeed and save the world or we die. So, let’s fuck that dragon’s ass."

Veer smiled and said, "At least we won’t die alone."

"You’re horrible, but I like it!"
