Chapter 88 Aerchon Is Back
Dragon-Erend instantly bounced back. He did not want to waste this opportunity and immediately attacked. Dragon-Erend ran making a booming thud and tremor that shook the entire forest.
The three-headed dog--which now only had two heads--was finally in front of him. Dragon-Erend immediately shot fire at the dog. He still thought that the Dark Mage was beneath him.
Dragon-Erend\'s flames enveloped the big dog and instantly scorched it. Now there was no longer any resistance it could give.
In an instant, the big dog was dead to black ash shards. Not even a bone remained and escaped Dragon-Erend flames.
But suddenly something hit Dragon-Erend from his right. The sudden force sent Dragon-Erend crashing into a hill.
As soon as he was able to regain consciousness, Dragon-Erend saw the Dark Mage hovering in the air with a body shrouded in a thick Magic aura.
The Dark Mage\'s entire body was enveloped in a green and black Magic aura blending into one. As if to signify how strong the Magic he has and flows in his every vein at this time.
The Dark Mage stared with an angry facial expression at Dragon-Erend. How dare he throw a dog at him.
Besides that, Dragon-Erend had also interfered with the process of summoning the magic circle. Makes the Dark Mage have to waste precious Magic energy.
Every time he used something from the book floating in front of him, the Dark Mage needed a lot of magic energy. Because of that he actually rarely used it except for a very important moment.
And once the important moment comes, usually the Dark Mage only needs to use the spell in his book once or twice.
But now when fighting Dragon-Erend, after using it several times, it was still not enough to allow the Dark Mage to defeat his foe.
Dragon-Erend rose again. The flames blazing on his shoulders grew bigger and bigger.
His red eyes gave off a light that seemed bright even though it was still daytime.
Hot white steam came out of all the pores on the scale. The steam hit the trees and other plants in the vicinity and made them wither instantly from the heat.
Then Dragon-Erend\'s entire body gave off a red and orange aura. The Magic aura looked as thick as the Magic aura that surrounded the Dark Mage.
The Magic auras of the two of them soared high into the sky and created a light that looked strange, frightening, and at the same time extraordinary from a distance.
Every creature who saw the two lights knew that right now, in the forest, two great powers were facing each other.
Anyone who saw it and noticed it would know that they should stay as far away from that place as possible. If they had a properly functioning brain.
No, any creature would be stupid enough to approach just because the two strange lights looked awesome.
No words were spoken by the two of them like earlier when the two of them were still retaining their human form.
Now they could only exchange attacks with powerful Magic power.
Magic power capable of shaking the surroundings when the two of them clashed.
Dragon-Erend shot towards the Dark Mage. The Dark Mage also shot toward Dragon-Erend. The two of them approached to destroy each other.

Aerchon and his army returned from their journey. Aerchon\'s brow furrowed when he saw what was scattered in front of the Elf palace.
The corpses of the Ogres were scattered in various battle conditions. Confusion shrouded the faces of all the elves in Aerchon\'s party upon seeing the sight that greeted them.
Aerchon immediately ordered them to hasten their steps towards the palace.
Aerchon gritted his teeth. It turned out that when he was away, things like this had happened.
After that Aerchon saw the damage to the towering palace walls as he approached.
The Elf Prince widened his eyes. If something hits the castle walls, it means that the Magic shield that should be able to block any attack isn\'t working properly.
But Aerchon could still see the transparent dome surrounding the palace grounds.
"What really happened?" Aerchon muttered as his head was filled with confusion.
"The Ogre Army has made it into the palace," Laston who was next to Aerchon said.
Yes, of the many Elves who had come with Aerchon to visit the Elf King, Laston was one of them.
Aerchon looked again at the state of the palace when they had entered. So much damage that occurred indicates that indeed the Ogre army managed to enter and attack the palace.
Aerchon didn\'t know how they could break through the Magic shield protecting this palace. But whatever it was, it was something very worrying.
Aerchon immediately goes to see Aurdis in her room. But she wasn\'t in her room.
Finally, Aerchon found Aurdis who was in the room where the Magic shield core was. She was there with Saeldir.
"(Oh, you\'re back,)" Aurdis said without enthusiasm.
"(What happened while I was away?)" Aerchon asked. He ignored Aurdis\' tone.
"(The usual thing. The attacks from the Ogres Kingdom and the Daemon of Calamity came. The magic shield core was split in two so the magic shield protecting the palace disappeared,)" Aurdis said. ("But don\'t worry. Everything is fine now.)"
Aurdis said it without even looking at Aerchon. She was busy reading the thick book in front of her.
Aerchon didn\'t know what had happened to Aurdis\' attitude. But when he heard that all was well, Aerchon was relieved.
"(Our father is fine,)" Aerchon said.
"(Oh, is that so? Then why not ask him to come back?)" Aurdis replied.
Aerchon looked at Aurdis with narrowed eyes. "(What do you mean?)"
