I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 180 Circle On The Temple



This amazing creature has a horn on its forehead.

The Unicorn\'s speed could not be matched by an ordinary horse at all.

They ran as fast as the wind and the dust they left behind turned golden or silvery for a few moments.

Their bodies and horns also gave off a faint glow as they ran.

Because of that they are very stand out. The Elves in the palace really liked them because these Unicorns made them look majestic and luxurious.

But not the Forest Elves. They love their speed and strength. Not with the gaudy light they give off.

With the day already entering dusk, they became a very stand-out group when going through the forest and road.

Yet the Forest Elves only conveyed their grievances to each other in whispers. They wouldn\'t mutter it out loud.

They had no choice if they wanted to get to Ozynk Temple quickly except to use the Unicorn.

There is no Portal mark installed on the old Temple which has become ruins. Because no one thought that they would ever go there.

Aurdis thought that was the reason Laston chose to flee there.

The distance wasn\'t too far to cover with his little remaining Magic energy.

However, it was too far for those chasing him to catch up. It was obvious that Laston had prepared this in advance.

He even prepared strategic locations to escape even in the most cornered situations.

The sun finally set. Dark night came and a thin curved crescent moon appeared.

The newly rising moon did not give enough light to shine their way.

But with the light coming from the horns of the Unicorns, the path in front of the group was brightly lit.

They really stood out on this dark night. A group of fully armed Elves in a battle-ready manner mounted on a Unicorn blazing in the darkness.

Some creatures or monsters that were wandering next to the forest stepped aside to hide from their sight.

The creatures sensed a dangerous aura through their instincts.

So they felt that hiding was the right thing to do. The Elf company rode like they were going to slaughter anyone in their path.

After spending an hour on the way, they finally arrived at Ozynk Temple.

The ruins were located at the edge of the forest and were covered in moss and vines.

Huge pillars of stone lay in the front yard. Being the former of something that was originally a magnificent building.

Parts of the stone floor were buried in dirt and grass. Only a few parts of the floor are still intact.

The Elves got off their Unicorns.

Aurdis even immediately ran towards Temple after she jumped from her Unicorn.

Erend, of course, was immediately alert and followed her from behind.

The squad leader ordered their squad members to immediately inspect the area around the ruins of the old temple.

The Forest Elves immediately scattered. Meanwhile, only the four squad leaders followed Aurdis inside.

Aurdis created a large ball of light that floated above her so that the darkness of the night could be illuminated.

Aurdis and Erend entered through the Temple\'s front door.

Aurdis instantly flew her ball of light to the center of the room and increased its size.

The Forest Elf squad leader entered shortly after.

"(We\'ll look around,)" Dolthon said.

The four of them immediately moved to check every room behind these doors.

Aurdis stepped forward in a hurry but Erend immediately grabbed her shoulder.

"Wait."

Aurdis turned around. "What?"

"Let me check it first," Erend said.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Eyes (Lv.2) ]

Erend\'s eyes turned amber. The previously bright interior of the Temple ruins became clearer from Erend\'s eyes.

He saw something up ahead that caught his attention. But Erend also saw a trap on the ceiling of the Temple.

The trap gave off a yellow glow that stood out from the rest of the area around it.

This was the first time Erend saw his eyes detecting the presence of a trap. This Skill turned out to be very useful.

Erend took a few steps forward and then activated his Skill.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

Erend threw a fireball at the trap. Then an explosion was created.

The trap immediately caught fire. But the attack had already been triggered.

A black Magic circle appears on the ceiling and drops black liquid.

As the black liquid fell onto the floor of the Temple, a black mist came out with a sizzling sound like something was being scorched.

The black liquid scorched the stone floor beneath until it burned a hole.

Aurdis widened her eyes. If only Erend had not prevented her, she would have been hit by that black liquid.

"That bastard Laston will do anything to catch us off guard," Erend said angrily.

Erend looked around to see if there was another trap. But he found nothing.

It seems that Laston\'s Magic energy is only enough to create one trap.

"Come on. It\'s safe now." Erend nodded at Aurdis.

They walked over to what Erend saw up ahead. Once they got there, it was a trail of blood and a Magic circle.

Aurdis summoned her orb of light to come closer so they could see more clearly.

"This must be Laston\'s blood," Aurdis said. "But what does this Magic circle supposed to be?"

"Could it be a Portal? Laston used it to go to another location?" Erend made a suggestion.

Aurdis paused to think for a moment. "That\'s possible. But... normally we don\'t use Magic Circles to simply open Portals."

Erend and Aurdis paused to think. The Magic circle was black and made of some kind of liquid.

Aurdis tried to put her finger on the circle and then sniffed it.

"This used to be blood," Aurdis said.

"What?"

"This black liquid used to be blood."

Suddenly, they heard a Forest Elf shout from somewhere.

"I found something!"
