Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 149: Vs Mountain Lord
Veer had seen Ragen almost getting caught, but right under the Mountain Lord’s sight, Rain had taken her away. Her speed was a match to none.
But the Mountain Lord was a Magical Creature in the end. All of its prey had escaped, which made it angry, and it would surely find Rain quickly.
Unfortunately for the beast, Veer and Elara had entered the battlefield right at the moment it was going to search for its prey.
The Beast also noticed them and growled, happy that it didn’t have to look far. Its worms wiggled around as they made a wall surrounding them.
Mountain Lord wouldn’t let its prey escape twice.
"Don’t worry, Big guy. We’re here to kill you," Elara wiped her nose, having a wide grin on her face. Not a single trace of fear or nervousness was there in her eyes.
Veer chuckled and also put his sword forward, smiling, "Well then, let’s see if you’ve trained or not."
The Mountain Lord growled upon seeing their nonchalant behaviour as its five eyes turned red from milky white. It roared once again and punched at them with two of its hands, making the air swirl around them.
The duo sidestepped and dodged the punch while running to the sides of the Mountain Lord. They knew each other very well and had also fought with each other a lot, so they knew how the other’s mind worked.

Coming right off at the sides, Elara clenched her fist and punched to match the incoming hand. Flames broke out of her hand, as she tackled it head-on.
The two fists collided, sending sparks of flames flying around as Elara was pushed back for a few metres. But the beast’s hand was also engulfed in flames, which it quickly extinguished.
’Tsk! So, normal flames won’t work,’ Veer clicked his tongue as he ducked under the hand coming at him and did a horizontal slash at the Beast’s ankle, which was similar to a human’s.
Before the blade could touch its skin, white worms burst out of it and attacked Veer with their maws filled with razor-sharp fangs. Already expecting it, Veer smiled and muttered, "Blazing Strike!"
The flaming sword cut through the white worms like a piece of paper, making their gross content splatter on the ground. Not stopping for a second, he struck the ankle with his sharpened blade.
However, before it could penetrate further, the beast released more of the white worms and also swung its arm at him. The heavy force weighed down on Veer as if he was being pressured under a mountain.

Instead of retreating, he just smiled and put his palm on the ground, muttering, "Frost Grasp!"
Instantly, a Magic Circle formed and froze all of the worms along with its leg. But the pressure had already increased to a high degree as the punch was inches away from landing on Veer.
Just then, Elara crashed against the incoming hand using her full body force. Using the opportunity, Veer poured his mana into his dark blade and brought it down at the ankle.
However, before his blade could touch the leg, the Mountain Lord sent a kick at him at sonic speed, making the air around them vibrate.
Veer quickly folded his arm and changed the trajectory of his blade to the incoming kick. It was too fast and he didn’t have time to do anything else, so he chose the most viable option.
The blade penetrated the thick fur and made blood splatter on the sword. The beast screamed in pain and kicked Veer with the same bleeding leg.
Veer felt as if a speeding train had slammed into him, but fortunately he had deployed the Arcane Shield on time, so it absorbed most of the impact.
As he did a backflip to land some distance away, he was forced to roll immediately as white worms burst out of the ground. Clicking his tongue, he put his palm on the ground and muttered, "Mana Pulse!"
The shockwave dealt with the white worms and gave enough time for Veer to stand up again. Having his hand on the sword’s hilt, he looked at the Mountain Lord, who was being bombarded by Elara’s flaming punches from all sides.
Her ability was high, and the Mountain Lord was having a tough time following her even with all of its five hands. Elara herself also had her incandescent flames burning in some parts of her body, showing the damage done there.
"This one is weaker," Veer muttered as he once again joined the battle. At first, he was hesitant to kill the Mountain Lord because it was an Elite Stage Magical Creature.
But only now did he realise that he was basing its strength on the Dark Mist Guardian. Compared to that Guardian Serpent, the Mountain Lord was much weaker physically, but it supplemented that with the larva worms it created.
They were all enough to bite a Beginner Stage to death. They were only useless to people like Veer and Elara, but even then, they were annoying them.
Giving a glance at the worms, Veer thought, ’There had to be some limit for it. No way it could just continue to produce those.’
"El, Swap with me!" Veer said through their connection, as he launched himself into the air and poured his mana heavily into the sword.
It consumed a whopping twenty Mana from him as the blade glowed and seemed to cut the air itself. Sensing the upcoming attack, the Beast stretched one of its hands to catch Veer while the other was punching at him.
Elara also backed away without hesitation and began to deal with the white worms. Her flames could burn anything, and the worms were no exception.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw how Veer brought down his sharpened blade and used it to sever the beast’s hand from its wrist.
His momentum carried him forward as he spun in mid-air and brought down his blade in a downward slash on the punch. However, the blade couldn’t penetrate the thick bones of the Beast any longer.
’I’ll be damned! Why is it so thick?’
