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

Chapter 100 Unnoticable

Veer spent some more time near the boulder and only left when he was sure he was safe. Instead of exploring the region more, he headed back to his origin point where the river was. Where Rain was.

'I hope you're safe,' Veer thought, increasing his speed even more as worry crept into his heart.

He was really afraid that whatever this being was had crossed by the hut. After all, it did come from the same direction as he did.

'Goddamnit! What the hell is this place?'

Cursing once more, he jumped from one branch to another, his strengthened body supporting him as he traveled as fast as he could. His lungs burned, but he didn't care.

After finally running constantly for some time, he saw a clearing a short distance away and smiled when he spotted the hut. Still, he was worried, so he jumped off the branch and ran toward it.

It was located a short distance away from the river on a small hill. It was easy to climb on it, so he just kicked off on two protruding rocks and landed before the hut.

Right at that moment, his scalp tingled as he raised his hand and caught a thin human wrist.

"Boss! Why are you sneaking around?"

Veer heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the familiar voice and finally allowed the exhaustion to take over him. He slumped on the ground, using the door for support.

"What happened, Boss?" Rain asked, her voice full of concern. "I'll bring some water."

"Ah! No need for that," Veer smiled. "Just give me a few seconds and I'll be back to my prime. This is just a bit of light exhaustion."

Rain nodded and sat down before him. The moonlight was brighter in the clearing, giving the two of them a good view of their surroundings and themselves.

"So, what happened to you?" Rain asked. "Did you see that Snake?"

"No. Actually, I don't know how to explain, but there was something in there," Veer sighed. "Something horrifying and disturbing."

"Huh!? Why did it come today?" Rain blinked in confusion.

"Wait! You know what it is?"

"Not really. I just know the Forest is filled with powerful abominations. I thought you would know..." Rain lowered her head in guilt, as she realized how her small mistake could have cost Veer his life.

"Don't worry about it and tell me what it is," Veer asked.

Stay tuned to empire

Rain looked hesitant for a second before she said, "I also don't know how to explain this, but I got a strange feeling on the first day here. It was similar to the feeling I used to get when people hunted me down in the slums, but it was much more terrible and horrifying."

"How did you survive that?" Veer asked.

"I just did what I used to do to get away from those hunting teams," Rain smiled lightly. "It's something I developed while running away from others. I can actually become unnoticeable."

Veer looked at Rain and then a little more. Just when she thought he was weirded out, he began to laugh. Confused, she asked, "What?"

"I'm just laughing because of how ridiculous your potential is," Veer shook his head with a smile. "If you don't die early, you'll become a force everyone will fear."

"It's not like I want all of that," Rain muttered.

"Yeah, you'll see how wrong you are," Veer chuckled and asked. "Anyways, please continue. How do you even do that?"

"I just curled up in a ball and imagined myself not being part of the world...something like that," Rain had some trouble explaining it, so she quickly moved on. "As for what it is, I don't know. I just know that it comes once in a while; however, there is a pattern."

"And it wasn't supposed to come today?" Veer asked.

"Yeah, that was also the reason I didn't warn you. I thought it wouldn't come today," Rain lowered her head once again. "I'm sorry, Boss."

"Don't worry about it. I'm perfectly fine here," Veer said, as he looked back into the jungle. "More importantly, why did you say it's a safe place?"

"Because it is safe, Boss," Rain sounded so confident that even Veer found it hard to doubt her. "No Magical Creature comes into this clearing. Heck, even that abomination took a detour."

Veer fell silent, as he looked down at the ground he was sitting on and thought, 'So, the mystery is in this ground itself. Do I have to dig again?'

"You can go and take some rest. I'll try a few things," Veer said, as he stood up. "The hut is good by the way. Did you make it yourself?"

"Hehe, we used to make homes with whatever we could find," Rain giggled. "And this is wood. It couldn't have been easier."

"Good!" Veer smiled and tapped on her head lightly. He didn't notice, but her tail quickly wrapped around her thighs, squeezing them as she nodded.

Then, he jumped down and went near the river. Sitting on a boulder, he went into his meditative mode, his mind calm and clear of any unnecessary thought. His focus was fully on the task in hand.

There was something he wanted to try since the time he cast his first Magic Circle. He wanted to use the former Magic Circle to make a new one. If he succeeded, it would reduce the time needed for casting spells.

Even if it saved only a second, he would be happy with it, as every second mattered in a battle.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and gathered Mana at his fingertip. Then, he let the Mana flow in the atmosphere and mix with the atmospheric Mana. But it was still within his control.

Next, he made a single circle with it before him as it glowed with a purple color. Using his finger as the tip, he began to carve Runes on the inner side of the circle. His eyes, utterly focused, observed every single detail and all the changes in the magic circle.

He could have just cast the spell quickly, but he wanted to observe everything so that he could modify it later.
