I Received System to Become Dragonborn

There was no emotion whatsoever to be seen there.

"(Sorry to have to do that. You left me no other choice,)" Laston said.

Aerchon could still hear his voice. But his vision was starting to get darker.

Aerchon who couldn\'t cast his Magic could only struggle with his hands trying to grab the strangler\'s head.

But Aerchon could not reach it. In the end, his strength started to dissipate from his body.

Aerchon\'s hands fell to the floor limply. A choking sound emerged from Aerchon\'s mouth as the last bits of air began to disappear from his lungs.

*BRAAAKKK!*

Laston\'s bedroom door was suddenly thrown by a strong force.

Laston and the Dark Elf strangling Aerchon were shocked.

When they turned towards the door, they found Saeldir standing there.

There was a sword that gave off a silvery light floating next to Saeldir.

"(Looks like now we have enough evidence,)" Saeldir said.

Laston immediately threw the Magic energy that had been accumulating in his hand since earlier.

However, Saeldir came here with a prepared attitude.

Because of that, Laston\'s attack couldn\'t hit him.

Saeldir raised one hand and created a Magic Shield.

Laston\'s dark-colored Magic attack hit his shield.

"(As I thought, the Magic in the mountains at that time did feel familiar,)" Saeldir said.

After that, he moved the sword floating beside him to shoot toward the Dark Elf who was strangling Aerchon.

*SYUUU!*

The Dark Elf was forced to let go of Aerchon so he could dodge the sword.

He then rolled so that the sword shot past him and embedded itself in the wall.

Aerchon immediately panted for breath. He felt his heart beat so fast because of the death that was in front of his eyes.

But Aerchon didn\'t stay on that stage for too long. He immediately jumped to his feet towards Saeldir.

His breath was still panting and his neck was so painful.

Aerchon held his neck while looking at Laston with a look full of disappointment.

"(What do you think?)" Saeldir asked.

Aerchon didn\'t answer. Saeldir guessed that Aerchon would not answer anything for now.

He was already lost in his own emotions. Saeldir could see it from Aerchon\'s eyes which were directed at Laston.

\'At least now he knows. And we managed to get evidence. Now we just have to catch him,\' Saeldir thought while looking at Laston.

Laston glanced at the two of them in turn. A few moments later his face began to look calmer.

Or actually resigned to acceptance. Because now he was fully exposed.

"(Why, uncle?)" Aerchon asked after getting his breath back. "(Why are you doing this?!)"

"(You won\'t understand my reasoning,)" Laston shot back.

"(Please tell me, uncle.)" Aerchon\'s voice sounded flat.

Even so, Saeldir could see that he was trying to keep the emotions in his chest from exploding.

"(You don\'t know anything. There is a great disaster coming and this kingdom won\'t be able to survive without your king,)" Laston said.

"(I\'ve tried to persuade him. But what? He won\'t listen and chooses to continue to be a sad Elf beside his wive grave.)"

"(But why do you even want to destroy this kingdom?)" Aerchon asked again.

His voice was getting thick with the emotion he was trying to hold back.

"(There is a relic that you may not know about. It is stored in this kingdom and has the same power as the Fountain of Eternity. But no one can take it except the King.)"

Aerchon and Saeldir listened to Laston\'s explanation.

Saeldir frowned faintly. Even he who was an Archmage knew nothing about the relic.

Then, what big disaster did Laston say?

Does that have anything to do with the bad dreams he\'s been having lately?

The thoughts spun and filled Saeldir\'s head. But he soon realized that he could think about those problems another time.

Now, his mind could not be distracted by those thoughts.

"(I thought I could get the King to return to the palace if I destroyed his kingdom. That way he could take the relic.)"

"(Is that the meaning of the fight you had with father that time?)" Aerchon asked.

Laston sighed. "(Yes. At that time I even decided to attack the palace. I thought, when the palace was damaged so badly, the King would want to come back. But there was interference from the Dragonborn.)"

Laston of course didn\'t reveal everything about the reason he has.

Aerchon also heard the news. But he knew that he could only return after his father said the order. So Aerchon could only wait with a pounding heart.

However, the bad news soon ended when he got another piece of news.

A rumor said that there was a Dragon who destroyed the Ogres Kingdom\'s large army.

"(Just when I thought I had persuaded the King, that damn Dragon suddenly stopped the attacks. I didn\'t even see the palace walls take any significant damage when I got back.)"

"(So you destroyed the Magic shield core?)" Saeldir asked.

"(Well, not exactly me. There\'s someone I put inside,)" Laston replied.

"(Where is he or she now?)" Saeldir asked.

"(Dead. Of course. You didn\'t think I would let him live, did you?)" Laston said sarcastically.

"(Enough. I\'ll arrest you now. After that, you can talk all you want,)" Aerchon said.

Laston snorted. As if what Aerchon said was something ridiculous.

"(You always think you can do whatever you want,)" Laston said. "(But you\'re just an arrogant boy who pretends to be a King. You don\'t earn the power you have. You just take it for granted from your irresponsible father.)"

Aerchon flinched because of Laston\'s words.

He wanted to say something, but before any words could come out, Aerchon\'s mouth closed tightly again.

"(What makes you think you\'re going to be able to arrest me?)"

Laston spread his arms to the sides. Suddenly thick black smoke appeared in Laston\'s hand.

After the smoke cleared completely, there is already a dagger in each of Laston\'s hands

Without saying anything, Laston shot toward them.
