Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 207: Needs

Elara was horrified, especially when she checked her Soul and found darkness seething in a corner. It was bubbling, as if it was alive and trying to spread everywhere.

The feeling she got from it was slightly different from the Corruption she had known otherwise, but it was still the Corruption.

Before she could order her incandescent flames to burn the corruption, she heard Sikander's calm voice again.

"Don't burn it, girl. Let me take it out."

Elara stopped, wondering if she should trust him again. In the short period of time, Sikander slammed his fist on her head, making her head ache even more.

However, it wasn't because of normal pain. No, it was because she felt something being sucked out of her. Her soul felt like it was being stretched endlessly, but also being torn because of that.

It was a strange feeling that hurt her soul. She tried to use her flames but they weren't even listening to her. Instead of healing her soul, they were instead attacking it.

She wanted to call Veer but she couldn't even make coherent thoughts. It was as if the world was ending.

Then, it suddenly stopped.

She slumped down on the stairs, as she gasped for breathes. Her white flames burst out of their source and spread all over her body, including her soul.

This time, they listened to her and healed her. It affected her mental health because this time the damage was on the soul so the flames needed to work on that.

However, she didn't care about all of that and just raised her head to look at the perpetrator of all of this.

"Why...did you do that?" She asked, using her trembling hand to sit properly.

"I told you we need to plant a seed of Corruption in your soul," Sikander said as he came to sit beside her.

He showed her the black stone he was carrying all along, only now it had seemed to grown even darker. It was absorbing all the light around it, or maybe the natural mana.

"I still don't get it," Elara said, as she took out a water bottle and chugged a mouthful of water.

Her whole body was still in pain, even though her soul was harmed. Fortunately, her flames could heal her soul so there was not a permanent damage.

Her eyes however were turning colder and distant by every second. Something was being erased from her core and she knew of that too.

Healing brought pain to her too. Just because she was used to it didn't mean she didn't feel it.

"It was important," Sikander said. "Look around you. I could have used the beings sealed here to gather enough corruption to make the seed of Corruption, but sadly I have already killed all of them so I just decided to help you myself l."

He smiled and gave her the black stone.

"It's a good and rare thing. Even I have to work my ass off to get it. Be grateful I'm giving it to you. Anyway, I intentionally gave that information to you which included the Corruption from the Blasphemy Slate."

"Wait! But you only told me things about the Gods so teh corruption should be related to them?" Elara asked in a flat tone.

"I mixed things up. I wanted to give you both type of corruption to make something the world has never seen. You see, there has never been a single person who found seed of Corruption that released corruption energy of both sides."

"I don't understand any of that and you're also contradicting yourself there." Elara shook her head.

"Perhaps. Anyways, so basically I let the Corruption be born inside you through that information. But because it's you, it couldn't instantly take over your mind, which is a good thing."

Sikander said as he looked at the black stone.

"Then, I just took it out and placed it in this black stone which will turn it into a seed of Corruption. I already filled it with a lot of corruption before and this one just the final straw."

"So, what not?" Elara asked.

"For now, stop using your flames to heal yourself," Sikander said, tapping on her head. "I didn't sever your soul because as I said, you're a unique case. You're not like me who can't deal with the corruption."

Elara stopped healing her soul and sighed, "What then? I still feel like my soul is hurting. It's honestly a weird feeling you know."

"I know, I also did something like that when I was young," Sikander said as he pointed towards the black stone. "Now, just wait till you're soul is back to full health and then you assimilate it."

"How do I do that?"

"Just send your Mana in it and the usual stuff, the stone will do the rest. It's already searching for a host after all. It will gladly take your body to turn it into a husk of Corruption." Sikander replied.

"And I'm supposed to fight it using my flames?" Elara shook her head. "I'm not that strong, old man. My flames aren't that strong. Before you took it out, my flames weren't even listening to me because of that Corruption."

"If it was so easy to grow powerful with the Godfire, everyone would have it," Sikander said. "It'll be tough and you might even die if you're careless even for a second. So choose carefully if you want to go through this process "

He stood up and said, "For now, we'll return to our settlement. I still have a few bottles left to drink before that sand tsunami comes."

Turning towards her, he smiled and said, "Remember, you can't tell this to him. Don't take offence but He's a Dragon Master so his life is infinitely more valuable than yours. You telling her things can Corrupt him and the last thing we want..."

He closed in to her and whispered, "...is a Corrupted Dragon Master."

If the Dragon Master really became Corrupted, he would be able to tame all the Dragon Race, something no one wanted.

Elara nodded and said in her usual flat tone, "And I value his life more than mine so you don't need to worry."

"Good! We have a deal then. Also, you can ask for my help if you ever decide to use that method to grow your Godfire and something tells me that'll be soon."

Sikander laughed and waved his hand, changing their surroundings in a blur again. Now, they were back to their settlement of cave system.

Elara didn't stay there for a moment longer and left. Her emotions were in turmoil and she was slowly losing them. Even physical pain wasn't being registered in her mind.

So, she needed something to bring her back before she gets too far away with this. And who could help her aside from Veer, so while she knew he was spending time with Rain, she still went to look for him.

'Veer, where are you?' she asked

'You Don't call me by my name usually. What happened? Your voice also sounds a little off....wait! Did you use your Sub-Aspect?'

'Where are you?' she asked again.

'I am with rain so come here!'

Elara kicked the ground, as web like cracks formed on it. However, she didn't care as she sped her place and even destroyed the rocks in her way.

She needed to reach Veer, quickly. Her Sub-Aspect alone wasn't the reason for that. Sikander's words had also affected her, as they reminded her of the little time they had together.

Because of the bullshit fate, they could might die in the next moment. Who knows what that unknown would do to get both Liliana and Veer?

Soon, she found him sitting near the water stream with his legs inside it. Without thinking twice, she hugged him with her full force, almost causing him to drop in the stream.

Fortunately, he was prepared and balanced himself. Feeling the weight on his chest, he whispered, "Are you alright?"

"Just give me a few minutes. Also, Rain, I'm taking your spot, even though I shouldn't because it's your day. I'm sorry!"

Rain who was sitting beside him was already surprised by her actions and the cold voice. Even though she knew about her Sub-Aspect, this was the first time she had seen it's true punishment.

'Or maybe it's not even the real part. Just how much has she suffered and is still suffering?' Rain thought. 'She even healed me back then... how is she even sane?'

That made her reflect on herself. While Elara was going through so much and still living upto her potential, Rain was busy crying and in overthinking things.

She took a deep breath and said, "Take your time, Boss. It's our day and will always be ours."

Veer smiled hearing that and gave her a wink. Then, he patted Elara's back and asked, "Did something serious happened?"

"Sort of! But i can't take about it because only those with means of Godfire can handle it. Don't worry, I'll deal with it."
