Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her Chapter 171 Survival

The mont he used the Scepter's special power, Veer felt drained to the maximum, as if he had been awake for years.

Even if he didn't want to, he lost consciousness under the imnse pain, which was quickly lifted by Elara's flas. The Scepter faded in existence, as its use was now complete.

Others didn't stay idle, as they had already prepared themselves. They were surprised by Veer's strength, or at least by what he had shown, but that didn't stop them.

Rock quickly picked Veer up and put him on his shoulders, then burst into motion as he shot into the gap. He had already activated his Aspect transformation, so he was much faster and had heightened perception.

However, soone else was faster than him, as the petite rat woman ran ahead of him, ready to intercept any attacks that ca her way.

Elizabeth and Aurora followed him closely, their eyes watching for the hidden dangers of the mist, ready to fight if anything ca after them from it.

Finally, Elara was at the rear, protecting them with her incandescent flas. She tried not to smile and let her emotions take over, but it was hard. However, one look at Veer's bloodied state was enough to give her willpower a boost.

Their boots connected with the sand as they ran faster and faster, their hearts drumming against their chests as if singing a deathly lody.

The distance between them and the river was getting shorter and shorter, yet they felt as if it were miles away. With every second that passed, they felt the fear of not reaching the river crawling in their hearts.

Just as they got closer to the river, they realised sothing. The gap they had created led to the edge of a slope, which was too deep.

"Fuck! Continue running and don't stop for a second," Elara cursed, as she punched in the mist, earning a low moan from it. It was a strange feeling, but she didn't have ti to think about it.

Rain stopped at the edge, and turned to look at the others. She gestured to Rock and shouted, "Quickly, jump. I'll help Boss Elara keep your back safe."

Rock nodded, as he made a sharp stop once he got near the edge and then jumped, still carrying Veer on his back. Then, he let gravity do the job, as he plumted downwards like a cannonball.

The mist was still there, but it was mostly covering the upper part of the land, so he didn't have any issues going downwards. However, the mont he jumped, he heard the painful screech of the monster gone silent. His blood ran cold, as he put Veer before him and curled into a ball. His giant fra covered all of Veer's body, looking like a ball that sped downwards.

Elara clicked her tongue, realising that the monster had recovered from its injuries and was probably more furious than ever. She shouted, "Fast! Jump!"

Aurora narrowed her eyes, as she released a flurry of arrows in the mist, followed by another round. Moans and growls ca from the mist, as it tried to get closer to them.

It was still hesitant because of Veer's attack, but it was clear it was raging because of the injury. It wouldn't settle unless it killed them.

Elizabeth quickly whipped out a couple of small knives, which she threw around her as her eyes glowed with a strange purple glow. Ignoring the sounds from the mist, she increased her speed even more.

In the next mont, she reached the cliff and jumped without wasting any mont. Aurora soon followed her, jumping off after patting Rain on the back.

Now, only Rain and Elara were left, but the mist had caught up to them. It surrounded them, hissing and rolling, showing how angry it was.

"Heh, you think you can get by that," Elara grinned, as she threw her punches around. However, she noticed sothing: while the mist was being hurt by her flas, it did not retreat. It was willing to shoulder the pain and injuries as long as it could kill her. Having no choice, she coated her whole body with incandescent flas, taking another toll on her mind as her emotions amplified and the desire to survive and fight collided.

Just as she was about to fight the mist, a hand pulled her forward and she heard a voice close to her ears, "The flas, Boss."

Realising what she was doing, Elara quickly changed the function of her flas from destruction to healing, as the hand that was holding her began to heal. She also gained so clarity and saw that she was actually falling from the cliff. As her gaze went upwards, she saw a swirling dark gray mist growing bigger and bigger.

'Tsk! I can't even help in this situation. The monster is willing to sustain permanent injuries just to kill us. Fucking hell!'

Since there was nothing she could do, she curled up to increase her descent speed but saw that the mist was even closer. Its speed was greater than hers, and it would soon catch up to her.

All of a sudden, Rain grabbed Elara's collar and threw her downwards with all the force she could muster. However, doing so decreased her speed slightly, leaving her as the only one far from water.

"Rain!!!! Nooooo!" Elara scread, as she got ready to use her flas for a short boost to jump towards Rain; however, she caught a smile forming on Rain's lips. Her lips moved, letting Elara understand what she was trying to express. Knowing that made her heart shake, and a grin ford on her face as she said, "Crazy! All of the girls surrounding him are crazy."

"I told you. It's tasty!"

Rain flipped her body, coming face to face with the rolling mist. She didn't know if it was real or if she was just hallucinating, but she saw three pairs of glowing red eyes in the mist.

They looked so angry, hungry, and mad. It reminded her of sothing she had devoured, making her smile.

"Let's see who wins first!"

As the mist swallowed her, she also opened her mouth and began to devour it, using every part of her body. Her mouth just worked the best, like a black hole ready to devour everything in its way. Her eyes began to turn a shade of black, with madness trying to take over her. Cracks, like those on glass, ford on her skin, as the side effects of devouring such a powerful existence began to show.

However, she didn't stop, relishing the screams she heard from all around her. Sotis, she even felt like soone was attacking, but nothing mattered when it was being devoured. Everything around her was becoming one with her, making her strong, too strong for her own good. She couldn't handle all of it; she knew it, but she still did it.

"I can't let her die, can I?"

Her thoughts slowly began to leave her, as if discarding her body and mind. She could do nothing but watch as her own Aspect tried to destroy her from the inside out.

Just before she lost her consciousness, she felt a hard blow on her back, as her whole body beca wet and weak. Her body was subrged in the river water, as she slowly drowned more and more. But sothing caught her before pulling her away. Fortunately, she had eaten the pill, otherwise she would have died due to lack of oxygen.

Elara dragged her friend while swimming in the dark waters. She could hardly see anything, but she felt a few familiar presences not far from her, so she went towards them.

After so more hard work, she found her group, as she just had to follow her senses and the crimson red blood that was mixing in the water.

She quickly took out her Everburning Torch that burnt even in the dense waters, illuminating the surroundings. Her group was actually resting on a rock protruding from the sa hill they had jumped from.

Seeing her, Aurora used sign language to say, "He is okay! I have given him my best healing potion."

Elara ntally heaved a sigh of relief and then focused her attention on Rain. Her state wasn't any better than Veer's, but weirdly she wasn't bleeding. Just her skin looked like a cracked mirror and her open eyes were pure black.

So, Elara used her flas to heal her. Water boiled around them, making it harder for her to heal Rain, which made her frustrated. Just as she was about to do sothing stupid, a light bullet hit her forehead, as she turned to look at Aurora.

Gesturing for her to co closer, Aurora took out a strange-looking bone. She showed it to Elara and then pointed downwards. Then, she herself began to swim downwards, prompting others to follow her.

Fortunately for them, the waters weren't that deep near the cliff, so they didn't give heavy water pressure before they reached the bottom.

There, Aurora planted the bone in the ground, as a soft barrier ford around it. With a swift thought, she cleared away its water and gestured for them to follow.

For now, they had survived and found a way to keep themselves alive.
