Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 147: Mountain Lord

Veer didn’t know much about the Seers, but he knew one thing. The visions they see or predict could hardly be avoided. It was as if fate guided the world to follow those visions. Or maybe the visions were aligned with fate.

Whatever was influencing the other, it was a fact that most of the time, Visions couldn’t be avoided, no matter how hard you tried. One way or another, it would catch up and happen.

So, the Seeker Academy’s team was going to die no matter what. At first, Veer thought it was they who would kill them, but now it seemed the visions told something different.

As he looked high above the mountain shrouded in light mist, Veer thought, ’Is it worth it?’

He turned to look at Aurora, and she was looking at him for answers. He nodded at her and thought, ’It doesn’t matter. I’ll see them dead first. And I’ll also need that Seer.’

"We’re going in, but be careful," Veer said. "Don’t separate now, as it could be dangerous alone."

Nodding at his orders, the group made their way up while Rain explained her findings. She had done her work properly and had gathered detailed information about their opponents.

Veer also shared his thoughts so they would be extra careful, especially regarding the Mountain Lord the Seer mentioned. It could possibly be the strongest Magical Creature they might face.

After a few minutes, they finally reached a wide rock, which was large enough to house an entire forest. Slowly, they made their way forward and heard the clanging of metals.

Veer nodded at the others, and they dispersed. They would still remain close but keep enough distance so that they didn’t let the targets escape.

He also jumped onto a tree, hid his presence using the cloak, and looked toward the clearing. The eight Assassins were there, fighting a serpent with eleven human-like limbs.

’Intermediate stage, huh. They should be able to deal with it.’

It was as he had expected. The Serpent was already badly injured, so after a few minutes of hit-and-run tactics, the Seeker Academy group killed the Magical Creature.

However, Veer didn’t make a move. He just stayed in position, observing the others. His friends also stayed in their positions after not receiving any signal from him.

After a full minute of silence, the Seeker Academy students came out of their hiding spot and went toward the serpent’s corpse. They were still wearing their battle suits, which covered their faces and whole bodies, making recognizing them a little difficult.

But Veer had memorized their figures, so he was easily able to tell who was who.

Jonathan, their leader, approached the serpent and crouched down. He touched the hard, darkened scales as his hand slowly phased inside. Then, he pulled it back as a Mana Shard appeared in his grasp.

It was his Aspect, something related to making his body phase through objects. That was what Rain had observed and reported.

As he looked at the Mana Shard and the serpent, Jonathan asked, "Is this the Mountain Lord you mentioned?"

"N-No, Boss. It has five eyes and is very big," Ragen said, her voice stuttering as she looked around in fear. Her face wasn’t visible, but her trembling posture made her terror evident.

"Then, we’ll hurry up," Jonathan said, standing up. "It may be just a weak beast, since you’re also weak. You’re just scared for no reason. Let’s go."

"You should grow some backbone, bitch," Amelia said, as she gripped Ragen’s shoulder. When Ragen nodded hurriedly, Amelia clicked her tongue and let go.

Hiding in the tree, Veer smirked as he thought, ’Really interesting. I was wondering why a Seer would go to Seeker Academy of all places, but it seems like they forced her into this mess.’

Then a thought crossed his mind, making him frown, ’Or maybe she isn’t really from the Seeker Academy.’

It was possible, so he continued to watch them as they cut open the serpent’s body to retrieve its gallbladder. After that, they began marching down.

’Hey, they’re leaving!’

Hearing Elara’s shout in his head, Veer had an urge to roll his eyes as he replied, ’Calm down. I still think something is fishy here. Let’s observe for a bit longer and follow them.’

He also relayed the information to the others with sign language and then began to tail the Seeker Academy group. Most of them were at the Beginner Stage, while only Jonathan and Amelia were at the Intermediate Stage, so detecting him would be difficult for them.

As much as Elara was getting impatient, Veer remained calm and didn’t order an attack. He simply kept watch over his surroundings while following the group, who made their way down the mountain.

After a few minutes, the team was almost at the base, and Veer began to wonder if he had overestimated the Visions. But it was still better than underestimating them, so he waited.

That was when Veer sensed fluctuations in the atmospheric mana to his right and raised an eyebrow. He signaled the others and concealed himself even more.

Right then, something exploded out of the mountainside like a bomb, landing before the Seeker Academy’s team without giving them any chance to flee.

The dust and dirt were blown away by a loud roar that shook the very earth the mountain stood upon, making it tremble as if a heavy earthquake had struck.

As the dust cloud thinned, a monstrous Abomination came into view, striking dread into their hearts and making their blood run cold.

It was a four metre tall, towering beast with a humanoid figure, armed with five giant ape-like hands. As it roared once again, its face also became clear, making them question what sort of creature they had encountered.

Jonathan gritted his teeth as he looked at the being before him. Fear paralyzed him, and the same was true for his teammates. They knew one thing with certainty: the beast standing before them was unbeatable.

Their hearts were filled with dread, and they tried desperately to muster the strength to run, even though it felt futile.
