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

Chapter 78 The Scarecrows (2)

The Scarecrows scared Veer, even if he didn't want to admit it. Sure, they weren't as powerful as those world-shattering beings he saw in that illusion. But they were equally dangerous for him.

If he didn't have his Soul Bond with Liliana, which brought him back to reality, he might have already been brainwashed. The outcome horrified him.

Veer sighed and looked at the grey sky, especially the twin moons, which were white as winter snow and showered pale moonlight on the world.

How was this world lit up? Were the moons the sole source of illumination? Your next journey awaits at empire

Veer had a lot of questions about this strange world he was teleported into. As far as he could see, there were only wheat farms which had Scarecrows similar to the farm he was in.

The world itself was bathing in pale moonlight, giving a mesmerizing scene that Veer found himself fixated on intently. Only if this beauty didn't hide the horrors behind it.

'Now, what should I do?' Veer wondered, as he circulated his mana to keep himself sane. Fortunately, his huge Mana Pool came in clutch for this.

But the problem still was the same. He was stuck here with nowhere to go, and these Scarecrows surrounded him. He had spent so much effort just to find their weakness.

For one, they didn't attack him as long as he was looking at them. That was why he was always attacked at his blind spot, and whenever he attacked, the Scarecrows would have to rely on their peers to defend.

Second thing he found was that they were not stationary and moved around the farm. They were inanimate objects, so they had to follow some given instructions, which meant some sort of pattern.

So, he just needed to find the pattern all the Scarecrows moved in. But that was easier said than done, as their attacks were unpredictable. Sometimes, it could simply be a fireball, sometimes an axe, and sometimes a whole bamboo.

But Veer managed to find it using Fire Bullet marks and was now sitting at a blank zone which was out of every Scarecrow's reach.

'Fortunately I focused on mastering a few spells,' Veer sighed, scratching his waist again in irritation. Annoyed, he looked down and found a small hole in his battle suit.

"Huh!?" Veer exclaimed. "This is from that White Sun? So, even the enhancement can't repair this?"

He shook his head and cleared his surroundings a bit more. The itching was annoying, but there was nothing he could do. It was a wheat farm after all.

Then, he took out a can, from which he quickly cooked some noodles. It was easy, as he didn't need much space, and the wheat around him also didn't catch fire for some reason.

After having his meal, which refreshed him, Veer stood up. His eyes narrowed as he tried to look at anything beyond these farm fields. Unfortunately, there was nothing.

Only more wheat farms and more Scarecrows. There weren't even hills, just a plain filled with the farms.

'What a strange place,' Veer thought, as he prepared to leave the farm. It was risky, but still better than staying in one place. He was all alone in this hell, and he needed to find others.

'This is a single Labyrinth, so this part is most likely an area of it, I should be able to cross it and reach somewhere safe,' Veer thought, as he drank a mouthful of water. 'But where should I go?'

All directions looked the same to him, so he really couldn't decide which to choose. Feeling a headache thinking about all that, Veer just looked at the twin moons and decided to follow them.

They both looked as if they would almost crash into each other, so it gave him a rough direction.

'Now, time to go,' Veer took a deep breath, taking in the grey mist with it, and jumped forward. He didn't stop and, following the pattern he remembered, he began to jump around.

The next second, many attacks landed on the spots he had jumped from. They were always just a second late as Veer skipped over the farm at rapid speed.

He never slowed down, and kept his cool, remembering every single spot he should jump on. Surprisingly, the farm was big, and it took him a couple of minutes to reach the ends of it.

All the while, the Scarecrows never stopped throwing various attacks on him. Of course, he never saw any of them attacking. Whenever he looked at them, they would stop in place as if they were just normal Scarecrows.

Finally reaching the end of the farm, he did a long jump and landed on a pole of fencing. It was narrow, but he had enough balance practice to keep himself steady.

Sitting on the pole, he took heavy breaths, hearing his heart pounding against his chest. He spent some additional seconds to calm himself and then looked at his side.

The other farm. Probably one of many he needed to cover.

'Now, will the Scarecrows here be any different?' Veer wondered, as he looked at the wooden dolls standing there, all alone, serving their purpose.

He observed them for some time and, finding nothing, he got on his work. Pointing his hand forward, he formed Fire Bullets and began to shoot the wooden dolls.

As he expected, the Fire Bullets did little to no damage except for leaving a mark. Veer used the fencing to mark many Scarecrows as his range was limited. He did as much as he could.

After he was done with marking, Veer stood on one of the poles and looked at the farm. Farms which were once his safe haven now.

'Never thought a day like this would come,' Veer smiled wryly. 'Sorry, Dad.'

Then, with a slight push, he launched himself into the air and covered as much distance as he could. His body was strong, especially if he coated it with his mana, so he easily covered one-third of the farm just by that one jump.

As he neared the ground, Veer clutched his sword's hilt while thinking, 'Guess they don't attack unless I'm marked as an enemy, and that happens by touching the ground.'

He should have just used fences... now he regretted it.
