Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 158: Strongest Attack
After exactly one second of Rain throwing the Runic Slate, it glowed brightly as the Rune Formation on it activated. It did the work it was supposed to do as a frost wave passed through, destroying it completely.
Rain and Veer had buried themselves in the ground, keeping their presence within themselves as best as they could while protecting themselves from the outburst of that Frost wave.
After a few seconds, things seemed to have calmed, so Veer opened his eyes. A soft glow on his sides attracted his attention as he turned to look at it.
In the cold ice, there was a small metal slate, which was glowing with a bright golden colour. It was as if the morning sun had risen from there.
The Rune.
It was glowing, and that meant it worked. Just as that thought appeared in his head, Veer felt the ground beneath him shaking as a loud, inhumane screech resounded everywhere. It was so loud that it almost made his ears bleed.
Veer struggled to get on his feet, as a terrible feeling gripped his heart. It tried to beat, but something was stopping it. His breaths hitched, suffocating him from inside out.
His mind spun round in circles, as he tried to get a grip on himself, but it was as if the world itself was forcing its will on him. Crimson blood leaked from the corner of his lips, as he clutched the wall on his sides.

In the next moment, something heavy crashed on him. But knowing that Rain was with him, his blurry eyes tried to find her, and he only felt a slight silhouette before him.
Without thinking twice, he covered the silhouette with his body as the outburst finally crashed into him, sending him rolling away outside of the Town’s centre.
As the screech died down, things began to return to normal. Slowly, but surely, clarity returned to Veer as he commanded through his connection with Elara, "Fire!"
"On it!"
In the next second, a white arrow flashed by and collided with the distant Corrupted Solvar, exploding into a massive mushroom explosion.
"Good! But that shouldn’t be enough to kill her..."
Veer quickly circulated his mana to get in control again and smiled. Then, he looked down at Rain in his embrace. Fortunately, she was unharmed and was just having problems in getting herself back in control.
He patted her back and said, "Rest well! I’ll handle from here on!"
After putting her against the broken wall, Veer ran towards the clearing and found that all of the frost had already been vaporized by Aurora’s explosive Arrow. It was a good thing, as he doubted he could fight on ice.
Taking out his sword, Veer stood at the edge of the clearing, his eyes burning in resolve and madness. His companions had already done their job; now it was his turn.
He waited for the dust and dirt to cool down, but he never dropped his guard even for a moment. It helped, as a massive claw made entirely from flames formed above him in a matter of moments.
With no nervousness in his gaze, Veer easily sidestepped and dodged the Flaming Claw, only to feel its heat on his back as the claw destroyed a part of the ground.
’Fuck! Did my Battle suit get shredded from that outburst?’
Veer cursed, feeling the heat and air caressing his bare back. However, he had more important things to deal with, so he focused on his front.
’That wasn’t that powerful... probably around Elite Stage?’
Veer thought, ready for another attack. Remembering something, he asked, ’Can you possibly run a check on her?’
[Name - Salvor]
[Type - Corrupted Creature.]
[Rank - Novice Stage (Saint Stage)]
[Special Ability - [Flame Control]]
[Description - Can control Fire as they wish.]
[...-...]
Veer almost tripped seeing the hologram before him. He cursed, dodging yet another Flaming Claw with a hair’s breadth. Still, he was mostly shocked at Solvar’s status.
’Are you kidding with me? A fucking Novice Stage?’
[The system doesn’t lie. It is the current Power Stage of the Corrupted individual, Solvar]
’Whatever!’
As ridiculous as it sounded, Veer knew to expect that much from a Saint Stage. Even being an Elite Stage, they could pull off stunts like this where their power leaned at Elite Stage.
The random attacks continued and Veer also continued to dodge. His intentions were to delay the fight as long as possible so others could join him; Aurora had just helped him in that.
It was then he heard a low growl as a torrent of flames washed through everything around him, bringing dust and dirt away with it. Veer quickly conjured Arcane Shield, which held for a few moments before collapsing.
As the flames died down, Veer was finally face to face with a Saint Stage powerhouse. A Corrupted legend of the past who held nothing but hunger and madness in her eyes.
Seeing him, she waved her hand as tens of Flame Spears formed around her and shot at the young man. Each of them contained the might of an Elite Stage, ready to skewer Veer.
Seeing the barrage of Flaming Spears, Veer remained calm as he used his footwork to dodge everything. If the ten years of constant practice had taught him anything, it was dodging.
He also began to close the distance between them as he had noticed something. Solvar had been using Flames and Ice since the start, while moving nowhere from her throne.
Even now she was standing before her Iron Throne. She was highly likely a Dual Elemental Mage. Sadly, Ancestor Feng didn’t know much about her, so he also didn’t have any information.
’She can’t use her Ice after the seal is done and Flames are also not that big of a problem. Maybe I can kill her in a close range fight.’
He doubted that. So, he kept his guard up while running in a zigzag towards Solvar. Each and every Flaming Spear created a large crater in the ground, shaking the very land he was running on. Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy
In just a few seconds, he arrived near the Corrupted Creature with glossy dark skin. Looking at the ember burning beneath her skin, Veer jumped and then plunged his longsword into her heart.
Or so he wished.
A dark, obsidian staff materialized in her hand as if cut from her body. She swung it at him; it looked so slow, but it struck him before he could even react. Only his instincts saved him by putting his sword before him.
Even then, he felt as if a whole mountain had collided with him. He coughed up blood and got thrown outside of the clearing while crashing into many walls.
After a few more walls, he came to a halt, getting slammed hard into a boulder. He coughed up even more blood, tasting the coppery taste in his mouth.
Veer stood up using his sword, as he smiled and thought, ’Heh, this is the power of Dark Era at its weakest. It’s just crazy!’
Spitting out the remaining blood from his mouth, he once again dashed towards Solvar, his eyes burning in excitement as he once again crashed onto the Corrupted Creature.
He didn’t die from that attack, and that meant he could still win.
In mid-air, he used the Arcane Shield to jump even higher as he shouted, "You want flames?"
Veer raised the blade above his head, and grinned while gravity attracted him downwards. Looking down, he saw a Flaming Claw waiting for him, so he once again used the Arcane Shield to launch himself even higher.
Then, he let himself drop from a height of more than three hundred metres. His muscles bulged out as the black blade turned red before bursting out in crimson red flames. There were also a few Runes revolving around it.
"Let’s see who has more pain tolerance!"
With a laugh, he brought the blade in a downward slash as a massive fiery arc made of flames shot towards the Flaming Claw, cutting it in half.
However, instead of dispersing, the flames of the Flaming Claw got attracted to the Slash and merged in it, making it much stronger than before.
The Flaming Slash felt as if the world’s end was descending. It was sharp and hot. As it crashed onto the Corrupted Creature, it burst out in an explosion that caught even the falling Veer.
Having spent a lot of strength in the attack, Veer couldn’t conjure Arcane Shield’s spell. He could only brace himself for the impact as he thrashed in the town’s debris, destroying a few walls in the process.
He struggled to get up, only to see Salvor standing a few metres away from him, her eyes burning with hot ember as the glossy surface reflected the destruction around her.
She was mostly unscathed, but Veer’s attack didn’t go in vain. Her whole right arm was gone from her shoulder. Sadly, that was the most damage his most powerful attack could do.
But he was still smiling as he said, "I win!"
