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

The area was relatively safe since it was still the outskirts of the Islands where rarely any Magical Creatures traveled. So, the two groups were easily able to reach the cave while only facing a few weak Magical Creatures.

As they closed in on the cave, Veer smiled and said, "It's good that you have learned to scheme and backstab."

"I don't like it, but iron beats iron," Aurora shrugged. "If no one is against me, why would I bother scheming around?"

"Haha!"

Veer laughed, shaking his head. He wanted to say something but held himself back. She could grow by herself.

The cave was carved in a small hill, which was full of greenery and covered properly. It was easy to miss unless one was looking at it specifically.

The two groups entered the cave, knowing that the other wanted them dead. So, they kept their guard up.

After sitting down on the rough surface, Rain took out some meat and began to munch on it. Jonathan was going to speak but turned speechless at the sight. Weren't they going to discuss important matters? Why was she eating then?

"Don't mind her. She's just hungry since it's been a while since we took rest," Aurora lied through her teeth, as she spoke. "We can proceed with our plans."

Jonathan noted that and said, "Alright, so we have a Seer among us. Amelia, please."

Amelia, a woman with a petite figure, nodded and said, "I have an Aspect which lets me see Visions of the future. They aren't always clear, but they're also never wrong. I got a Vision of this island some time ago, so we came here to check it."

'Lies! She isn't the Seer,' Veer thought. He didn't even need his system's help to see through such a simple thing. There was no way they would let their Seer be known to Veer and the others.

'And she is too stable,' Aurora smiled, as she came to the same conclusion. She had interacted with a few Seers and knew they weren't right in their head, not unless it had been a long time since they used their Aspects.

The woman was just too calm and collected to be a Seer. That left the other seven, but they didn't know who was the Seer.

'Can't be David or Jonathan,' Aurora thought, while listening to Amelia, who kept talking about the fractured Visions she saw.

According to her, there was something dangerous in the Tomb, but it was also very important and powerful. Since they had not found a clue on the Labyrinth's conflict for over a month, they had decided to check on the Tombs even if it was dangerous.

"We tried to gather some allies, but they're either too far away or unwilling to come," Jonathan sighed. "So, we're really thankful that Miss Aurora decided to help us."

"No worries, we're in this all together. If we don't find the conflict and solution soon, we will all die anyway," Aurora smiled. "So, we should thank you for allowing us to join you."

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled. Then, Jonathan asked, "So, how do we proceed from here? It seems like you are familiar with the terrain here, so it would be best if you could lead us."

"I can only lead you to that hill," Aurora said, as she pointed in a certain direction. Even though others couldn't see it, they knew what she meant, as that hill was very big and closest to the Tombs.

"What is there?" Jonathan asked.

"Intermediate Stage Magical Creatures live there," Aurora said. "And not just one but hundreds or probably thousands of them. There are Elite Stage Magical Creatures too."

Her smile turned wry as she said, "Worse, I've even seen a Lord Stage Magical Creature there."

The cave turned silent, as everyone processed that information. They were fine even with Elite Stage Magical Creatures, as they could still deal with them if the worst came, but Lord Stage ones were out of the question.

Every single one of them was enough to decimate their whole group without taking any injuries, as they were in a league of their own. Going against them would be suicide.

Jonathan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there no other way? Like going around it, maybe?"

Aurora shook her head and said, "You can try, but it'll take too much time going around it since the hill itself is spread far. Besides, who knows what we'll encounter there as we would be going even deeper."

The cave fell silent yet again as they tried to think of any idea. They needed to explore the Tomb, but it seemed impossible.

"There are a lot of caves here," Veer said, looking around him. "Have you noticed? Every hill has at least one of these."

Aurora's eyes lit up, as she searched her memories for every hill she had visited. Sure enough, all of them had caves carved in them, as if someone had done that intentionally.

She turned towards him and asked, "You mean, we can use the caves in that hill to cross it?"

"I say, it's worth a shot," Veer shrugged. "You can try fighting that Lord Stage or propose a better plan."

"But the caves are closed, so are you proposing we drill in them?" David scoffed and pointed at the cave's rugged walls. There was only a single entrance and nowhere else to go.

Feeling a few pairs of stares at him, Veer shook his head and stood up. He went towards the wall and began knocking on it. He heard the sound and narrowed his eyes.

Turning towards Rain, he asked, "Can you find if it's hollow anywhere?"

Rain finished her meal and stood up. After nodding at Veer, she began to inspect the walls by knocking and using her tail to pierce them. Her ears slapped occasionally, as she went around the cave, knocking everywhere.

David rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you doing these pointless things?"

"Found it, Boss!"

His face instantly turned ugly, as he glared at Rain.
