I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend returned to his room covered in blood. He immediately took a shower to clean himself. Billy and Lt.Boartusk were not in the room when he returned. So Erend came out of the room to look for them.

The bad thoughts that he had been trying to get rid of for the past few days finally came back into his head. That is his family\'s situation in the Republic.

Erend knew that Billy and Lt.Boartusk thought the same thing about the family they left behind in the Republic. But they try not to think about it because they know they can\'t do anything about it.

Being stuck in something they couldn\'t do anything about was an everyday feeling when they were all dropped in the bunker. They were ready to die every day when the Elves attacked.

Then something arises in them to no longer think about it and just live life at this moment. Exactly, in this very moment because they could die in the next moment.

Erend saw that some of the Elves had already done their job. Then Erend crosses paths with Saeldir at the crossroads of the palace.

The two of them looked at each other for a while before Erend walked past him. But Saeldir called out to him.

"Hey, Erend, right?" Saeldir said.

Erend turned to him. He remembered that the youngish-faced and long-bearded Elf was an Archmage.

"What?" Erend said nonchalantly.

Even though he was an Archmage, Erend didn\'t feel that he should place too much respect on him. In Erend\'s eyes, all Elves are seen as creatures who keep disdaining humans. Aurdis was an exception. They owe Aurdis their lives.

Saeldir drew closer to Erend. His gray eyes stared at Erend as if he was curious.

"Let\'s talk for a bit," Saeldir said.

"About what?" Erend asked suspiciously. He never thought that what any Elf other than Aurdis said or asked was anything good.

Saeldir smiled patiently. In his mind, Saeldir thought as if Erend was a naughty child or an unruly baby animal. So he had to use extra patience to deal with him.

"I just wanted to know how you handled the intruders," Saeldir said with a smile.

"You can ask the Elf guards who were with me last night," Erend replied.

"I\'ve asked them. They say you killed more Daemon of Calamity than the five of them," Saeldir said.

Erend tried to replay last night\'s events before answering.

"Maybe," Erend said with a shrug. He didn\'t consider the number of his victims to be anything important.

"You have extraordinary powers," Saeldir said. "May I see?"

Erend thought that Saeldir was like a scientist who had just discovered a new object of research that he was very interested in. He had seen those things in the movies before.

Erend has also seen a mad scientist in the military who approaches him and offers him to be the object of his experiment. Erend didn\'t know whether the crazy experiment had now succeeded or not.

"I don\'t want to show it to you," Erend said firmly.

"Really?" Saeldir looked at Erend with the same look he had seen from Delirien back when he had just arrived at the small palace.

[ "Systema is blocking the ability." ]

The same notification sounded in his head.

Erend snorted. "It\'s useless. You won\'t be able to affect me with your magic," Erend said with a triumphant grin.

But Saeldir didn\'t look disappointed. Instead, he looked satisfied as if he had confirmed something.

"It turns out that what Delirien said was true," Saeldir said.

"The other things you\'ve heard about how I fight are most likely true too. So don\'t mess with me," Erend said.

After hearing that, Saeldir\'s expression changed. He wasn\'t showing a satisfied smile anymore. But his face was stiff as if Erend had just said something that made him angry.

His jaw tightened. His eyes stared at Erend coldly.

"Did you just threaten me?" Saeldir stepped closer to Erend. His eyes were icy cold.

Erend had never been afraid of the Elves. He had only ever felt anger at them. They are creatures full of pride and arrogance. But now suddenly Erend felt it.

This Elf in front of him was getting closer and he couldn\'t move at all. What happened? Doesn\'t he have the power of a Dragon? does he feel scared now?

"Let me tell you something, human," Saeldir said in a cold voice. By emphasizing the word \'human\'. "You may be strong enough to kill a few Daemons of Calamity or Ogres. But don\'t think that you are strong enough to let your mouth speak as it pleases. Especially in front of me."

Saeldir stared fixedly into Erend\'s eyes. They are almost the same height.

Erend now felt that all the sounds and nature around him had disappeared. He seemed to have moved to another world where it was only him and Saeldir\'s anger.

A moment later the pressure just disappeared. Saeldir backed away but with his eyes still fixed on Erend. Without saying anything, Saeldir turned around and walked away quickly.

Erend was finally able to catch his breath again. He took a deep breath and exhaled with relief.

"Shit, what the hell was that?" Erend muttered in confusion.

[ "He\'s stronger than you," ] Tut said in his head.

Erend looked in the direction Saeldir walked in but he had already disappeared.

"Well, I have even more reasons to keep Leveling Up," Erend said.

Meanwhile, after confirming he had disappeared from Erend\'s sight, Saeldir fell to his knees.

His breaths were quick and short. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes bulged and drooped. In his eyes now he was looking back at what was inside Erend\'s body.
