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

Chapter 95 Old Friends?

Looking at the sleeping Elara, covered in blood and wounds, Liliana felt her chest getting heavy. She thought, 'Is my teenage body affecting my emotions?'

However, she also knew Athena was right. Although it was just one month, Liliana and Elara had grown very close, especially because of their love for Veer.

"You're right," Liliana smiled and then shook her head. "Ignoring that, why can't you leave?"

"Do you remember the Zoltrak Case?" Athena asked, as she checked Elara. Although she was sure nothing would happen to her, it was better to check.

"That octopus?" Liliana raised an eyebrow. "Is it sealed here?"

"Hmm, it is and one of your kind is trying to siphon its power," Athena sighed, when she sensed Elara's body healing itself.

"No wonder," Liliana muttered. "So that's where you were all along. If it gets out, those False Gods will surely come out of their pathetic caves."

"And that isn't what we want now," Athena said. "We need to let Hubby grow on his own. He already suffered his share of pain last time and I don't want him to go through any of that again. I would rather be caged here for eternity than letting any harm come to him."

"You just threw him in the Abyssal Field," Liliana chuckled softly. "You know that could have broken him mentally and you still did that."

"It was necessary," Athena said. "I'm conflicted. On one hand, I want him to remember our times together but that also means he'll remember everything. Everything he went through."

"We just need to make him strong enough to shoulder the weight of those memories," Liliana said, her voice low and solemn. "And I'm already seeing the signs of his memories awakening so we need to hurry too."

Athena's head snapped towards Liliana as she asked, "How is that possible? He is a different..."

"It doesn't matter," Liliana interrupted her. "Omnipotence is too bizarre and I wouldn't be surprised if it affects even this version of his. There's a reason hubby killed him there."

A silence followed as the two women sat there, lost in their thoughts. They didn't discuss but they knew what the other was thinking. They needed to make Veer strong as quickly as possible, especially mentally.

"Fuck!" Athena cursed. "That piece of shit must have anticipated this and planted the seed already."

"Yeah, he saw through us and knew we would try something so ridiculous," Liliana said. "We underestimated him but it won't happen again. It doesn't matter how much he had planned or how powerful he is. As long as I'm alive, he can't touch Veer."

"Alright, I'll leave his safety to you," Athena said. "So, I can go all out on what I plan to do next. Please look after them."

"What do you mean?"

"I was planning to give them an opportunity to help the sealing of that octopus but now I have changed plans," Athena said. "I will let them fight the Corrupted Dragon. Help them a little but I hope you let them grow. This environment will be very good for them."

"Can you handle all of this?" Liliana furrowed her brows. "You still have to check up on the seals, you know."

"It's fine. It'll just mean I'll need to stay here a little longer," Athena smiled. "But if that means Hubby can progress, I don't have any regrets."

"That damned womanizer," Liliana muttered. "This is the reason I can't kill you all. Just be a little selfish for once."

"Aye, I am being selfish," Athena chuckled. "I am choosing my happiness, after all."

"Idiotic. Also, do you have any idea about others?" Liliana shook her head and asked.

"Hmm, if I'm here back at the start with no powers and all, then others must have also went to their starts," Athena said. "Now, that is certainly problematic because none of them were in a good condition. I don't remember much about others but Miko...she was in a fucked up situation."

"Where is she?" Liliana asked.

As she looked to her sides, her eyes seemed to penetrate every piece of obstacle, she said, "Miko is imprisoned by her own clan. If I'm right it's been around a century for that. She probably doesn't have her peak strength so getting out of there will be tough."

"I will look into it then," Liliana said. "Her clan is the Yan Clan of Heavenly Fox race right?"

"I'm surprised you remember," Athena nodded. "And yeah, she is trapped there so help her. The things she had to endure there are certainly not good."

"I'll see," Liliana said. "I can't promise anything as my body is still recovering because of your damned Rune Formation."

"Haha, sorry about that," Athena laughed. "It was made to trap that octopus if it got out, after all."

Liliana hummed and stood up. She then went towards Elara and asked, "How is she?"

"In battle? Monster," Athena said, remembering the last few attacks of Elara. "I felt like I'm fighting some seasoned fighter. Although she still has a lot to improve, it's still crazy. Oh yeah, please be careful with her Sub-Aspect."

"Sub-Aspect?" Liliana raised an eyebrow. "She unlocked it so quickly?"

"Probably because of me," Athena grinned. "But it's very dangerous. It does the opposite of her Aspect and can eventually make her lose her emotions completely. I think that's what happened last time."

"I see. Thanks for it then," Liliana said. "I'm sure she will be very grateful for it. She tried to hide it, but she wants to become strong quickly. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because she didn't want to be a damsel in distress," Liliana chuckled. "She said she would hate to be a burden on him so she always wants to be stronger than him."

"Haha, that sounds so like her," Athena laughed.

Liliana was going to say something when she stopped and frowned. After lingering for a while, she said, "Can you show where Hubby is?"

Athena got confused but still did what she was told. She raised her hand as many Runes appeared before her, glowing in dim light.

They formed a screen, showing Veer and Rain talking with each other.

"Who is she?" Athena frowned.

"She has an S-Rank Aspect, and a dangerous one at that. Good catch, Hubby."

"I doubt he'll make a move on her without asking you or her first."

"Did he need to make first move to charm you?"

"Good point! That silly girl is already in his clutches, even without both of them realising it."
