Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 143: Discuss

Elara helped Veer clear his thoughts, which he was really grateful for. She was always like that, a pillar that held his life together. Even in the worst times, her optimistic side would help him.

Just like this time. Even though the whole world’s survival rested on his shoulders, he wasn’t that worried. She was right. He either succeeded or would die with the whole world.

So, he just needed to make sure he succeeded.

Having his mood brighten, even if slightly, Veer left the tunnel the same way they came before. He didn’t have much time before they would be teleported out, so he needed to talk to his friends.

When he exited the tunnel, he found Brando and Sando standing there. Noticing the duo, they both turned and smiled at Veer and Elara.

"Yo, how did it go?" Brando asked. "The Chief has something important there, and no one aside from the Chief can go in, so we were really curious."

’Ah! So they didn’t tell them anything,’ Veer sighed, understanding Badong and Ancestor Feng. They really meant it when they said they would give everyone a peaceful eternal slumber.

They wouldn’t even know when they died, so it was peaceful. They would die not knowing that their loved ones were also dying. It was the best possible route for them.

As he looked at them, Veer tried to imagine them as a Corrupted Monster, full of madness and hunger. Then, it became clear why Ancestor Feng chose that route.

He sighed once again and said, "He is hiding his mistress there."

"Wha—" Brando was shocked and covered his mouth quickly. Then, he came closer and asked, "Is it really true?"

"For damn sure. You can actually blackmail the Chief using this information," Veer grinned. "But you will have to wait till he’s back. He’s spending some quality time there."

"I doubt it’s that," Sando said, before narrowing his eyes. "But he does spend a lot of time there."

"Just ask him when he comes back," Veer said as he felt a slight shiver and realised something. ’Oh! I basically called Ancestor Feng the mistress. My bad!’

He gave a smile to Brando and Sando—the last smile he would ever give them—and left to find Rock and Aurora. It wasn’t hard to do that, as Rock was like a Titan drawing attention from everyone, and Aurora was in her room.

After dragging back Rock from his work, Veer went to his room where he found Aurora on his bed. Along with a dark metal slate, there were various books spread around her.

Her focus was completely on studying the Runes, so she didn’t even notice them until Veer called her.

"Hey, we need to talk!"

Aurora looked up from her work and saw Veer’s expression. Then, she nodded and packed everything along with the dark metal slate.

Taking off her spectacles, she asked, "So, what happened?"

"I’mma make it quick," Veer sighed and sat on the bed, as others also took their positions.

Then, he explained everything to them along with the conversation he had with Ancestor Feng. He left out his bloodline part intentionally.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Aurora, but there were just too many important matters before then, so he didn’t want to disturb her. After all, she was an Elf and would definitely be disturbed to know that he was a demon.

He himself was trying to forget it for the time being.

After he explained everything, Rock rubbed his bald head and said, "So, we’re fucked, that’s what you mean, right?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"Fucking hell!" Aurora cursed, surprising them slightly as she didn’t usually curse. "Here I was thinking of a future with him and now this happened. Shit!"

Veer was speechless, so was Elara. The world was dying and they didn’t know whether they would pull this off or not, and all she was worried about was being together with Veer?

’Crazy! But I would probably do the same!’ Continue your journey with novelbuddy

Elara rolled her eyes and said, "So, did you find anything in those Runes? Well, not like we need their meaning now."

"Hmm, out of fifty I was able to identify twelve and fifteen were unknown. I was just going through them when you guys came," Aurora sighed in regret. "I would have liked to study them more but time is up, huh."

"Why don’t you just memorize them?" Elara asked.

Aurora scoffed at that, "As if I didn’t think of that. I just can’t remember their shape. I only remember them if I identify them, so only twelve Runes are in my memories. I also can’t carve them out on something as they’ll just fade away."

’Hmm, system, can you memorize it?’

[No!]

’Thought so! Do you have any idea?’

[The system will try its best to find a solution.]

If even the system couldn’t do it, then there was no way they would be able to do anything. Sighing in disappointment, he said, "Then, just tell me about those twelve later. Also, it will take some time before we clear all the fifty Islands so you have time."

"That reminds me, won’t we face Corrupted monsters on those Islands?" Aurora asked.

"They are sealed in an underground space like this, and the seal will break upon the Floating Island’s fall, so we will have some time."

Veer thought for a moment before saying, "By the way, help us all with your treasury."

"Huh!? You don’t care about the backlash now?" Aurora raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Backlash would only come if we’re alive," Veer rolled his eyes. "And fuck those nobles. We’re saving their ass so they should lower their pride a little."

"The royals..."

"I’ll handle them. They’ve enjoyed the high position for too long anyway," Veer grinned. "Just help us with everything you have."

"Sure! I was already thinking of that," Aurora smiled. "I don’t have higher Tier Artefacts because of the drain they have on Mana, so we’ll just have to adjust. So, what do you need?"

"El has the gauntlets the Dean gave, and I also have the longsword," Veer muttered, as his gaze went to Rock. "What do you want?"
