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

Elara's words surprised everyone, as they turned to look at Solvar who was trying to bite them. She had no sanity left and the only thing they could see in those eyes was murder and hunger.

The corruption had run deep in her Soul and even though The Runic Slate was suppressing it, there were still many signs of it.

A few seconds later, Aurora also joined the group as she came dragging Elizabeth with her. She gave a smile to Veer and then stood beside Solvar's figure.

Veer turned towards Elara and asked, "Are you sure you can pull this off? It will need a lot of your Flames, after all."

"It's fine!" Elara waved her hand before flashing a smile at him. "Even if something happens to me, You'll always be there so I have no worries. Anyway, Rain, what do you say?"

"It's worth a shot," Rain said, as she touched Solvar's horns and closed her eyes. "Let me find the source of Corruption in her and see where it is being suppressed."

Rain had devoured the corruption once so she knew how it felt and was used to it. So, she searched throughout Solvar's body for anything to eat, as she licked her lips.

A mild surprise shone on her face as she stumbled backwards. Looking at Solvar, she said, "She's strong."

"What do you mean?"

"The corruption...she is still fighting with it," Rain said, unable to hide her astonishment. She had just caught a glimpse of that harrowing force known as Corruption, making her shudder in fear.

However, the corruption didn't target as it was trying to overtake Solvar's consciousness. Even after a thousand years, Solvar had not given up and was still fighting against the corruption.

Everyone was shocked to hear that, as Elara quickly asked, "Help me get to it then. Maybe we can get her out of there."

Rain nodded as she helped Elara in getting to Corrupted part using her senses. It was a bizzare thing to do and feel, but she did it anyway. In just a few moments, they were facing the corruption again.

The wrongness called upon them, enticing them to get closer and learn the forbidden knowledge held on it. They had to try their best to not get affected by it, but even then they knew it was because of Solvar stalling it that they could get this close.

Exhaling a pent up breath, Elara got to work as her Incandescent flames burst out of her hand and covered Solvar's whole body. She screeched and they could hear in pain in her voice.

Veer sighed and looked away. Of course she would be in pain, because in a way Elara was burning away her soul. It was a futile attempt as Solvar was deeply connected with the corruption.

While they were working on her, Veer went back towards the small crater Solvar had made and began to search around. Since it was glowing, it didn't take him long for him to find the Runic Slate.

When he came back towards the group, Solvar's had stopped screaming but she still made some low sounds that told her suffering weren't over.

"Do it," Elara said, as she held her forehead tightly in her hands. Her whole body trembled as she stumbled back, but Veer was quick enough to catch her.@@novelbin@@

"Good work!" Veer said, as Elara hugged him tightly and muttered some words that made even his face beat red. 'Damn it! Her amplified emotions are too dangerous.'

Rain also began her devouring as dark mist revolved around her. She breathed in the mist as if she was eating it. A

suction force also sucked the dark mist out of Solvar.

"Stop! Anymore and you wouldn't be able to handle it."

Rain snapped back to reality hearing the calm voice reverberating in her surroundings. She withdraw her hands and looked at Solvar's face, her mouth wide open.

Others were also surprised and focused on Solvar who had also stopped struggling. She just laid there and if it wasn't for her eyes that reflected some sanity, they would mistaken the voice with hallucinations.

"You younglings are brave. Who would have thought I would lose in hands of a few brats?"

Solvar's feminine voice came from all sides, making everyone wonder how she was talking. Veer stepped forward to say something but Solvar cut him off.

"We don't have a time for a talk. I believe Martial Saint has given you the responsibility to bring this to an end, huh. Then, be prepared. She wouldn't give away the Seal Slates unless it was a world ending calamity."

There was a pause before Solvar continued.

"Hmm, so that's the plan. Alright, you can go to my Iron Throne and place the Seal Slate in the gap of seat. Remember to stay close to it, after that. It will guide you to your next destination."

After a short delay, Solvar spoke again with a exhausted sigh.

"I have a favour to ask you all. Can you bring me the Crown from the Iron Throne and kill me. As for compensation, some of my treasures are buried under the Iron Throne so you can take them."

There was a long pause this time, as everyone wondered if that was all she wanted to say. Noticing that, Veer nodded and went towards the Iron Throne with vigilance.

As Solvar had said, he found a crown made entirely of Iron on one of the spikes. He took it out and came back to the group. Placing it on top of Solvar's head, he said, "Rest in peace. Your nightmare is over now."

With that, he unsheathed his sword and plunged right into her eyes, watching them slowly lose their ember glow. After a short delay, a powerful aura burst out of her, pushing everyone back slightly.

Under their astonished gazes, several white translucent glows burst out of Solvar and began to float around the town. It was a beautiful and surriel site, leaving them mesmerized.

Slowly, some of the Orbs came together and formed a translucent figure formed before them. It bowed as Solvar's voice once again reverberated in the surroundings.

"You have my gratitude, Outlanders. I give you my blessings and hope for succeeding in your mission. Farewell!"

With that, the figure exploded into light fragments that scattered away in the atmosphere. The other orbs followed her example and turned into light fragments that flew away.

A solemn silence followed as the group processed the events and allowed themselves to rest.

'So, she was holding souls of all her people all this time. She wasn't fighting her corruption alone but of whole town. Solvar, you were a great leader that few deserve. Rest in peace!'

Veer closed his eyes, as he paid his respects to someone as excellence as Solvar. She was a true leader who shouldered the responsibility for her people for over a thousand years.

None could match her loyalty for her subjects.

Veer sighed and stood up. Even if he respected her, he didn't have time to waste on admiring her. He picked Elara up as she hugged him like a koala.

"Hubby! Hubby! Where are you going?"

"To your funeral!"

"What???"

Veer rolled his eyes but didn't say anything. Overuse of her Aspect had affected Elara's mental state, and he could only hope she becomes normal soon.

'Was it worth it?'

For him, it was worth it.

"Boss! I'm actually fine this time."

Rain said, as she came before Veer. She smiled and showed her body to him, saying, "I feel a little disoriented but otherwise I'm fine. I don't know how but the big sis that passed away helped me in it. I also don't feel Corruption inside me."

"That's good," Veer patted her head and smiled. Then, he looked around and said, "How is everyone?"

"I'm fine, Boss," Rock came towards him, his battle suit barely covering his giant, chiseled body. "She was surprisingly weaker than I expected. I was prepared to lose a hand atleast."

"Yeah, I was also prepared to fire other arrows if first didn't work," Aurora said, as she arrived near him and smiled. "I'm also fine, Hubby so you don't need to worry about me."

"It's because the seal actually suppressed her strength back to Novice Stage," Veer sighed.

"No way, right?" Aurora was left dumbstruck. "How can someone be so powerful?"

"She did fight in a battlefield of Gods so who knows what kind of fucked things happened back then?" Veer shrugged. "Anyway, we should do our work quickly before anything bad happens."

"Yeah," Elizabeth nodded, as he turned to look at her right. "The Ruler is now gone and others are hungry for the throne."

Veer shivered hearing that, as he quickly dragged Elara towards the Iron Throne. Others followed him and reaching the throne, they surrounded it from all sides and held it's iron spikes.

"I'm putting it in!"

"Please be gentle, Hubby!"

Ignoring Elara, Veer put the Dark metal slate in the gap, his heart pounding against his chest as he wondered what would happen after this.
