I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 16 Ambush Turn Slaughter

The Daemons jumped toward the group. As soon as they arrived at the bottom, they immediately swung their strangely shaped swords.

The Elves were able to withstand the attacks but because they were out of numbers, the Elves were surrounded from all directions.

One fell down with his neck and back gaping from the slash. The other elves followed soon after.

Shots from Billy managed to knock out two Daemons but another Daemon approached him. No matter how fast Billy shot, he wouldn't be able to overcome their number.

Lt. Boartusk didn't look good either. He's out of bullets. And he knew there wouldn't be enough time to change magazines.

So Lt. Boartusk took his dagger and prepared to fight hand-to-hand.

Whereas Erend who saw all that already knew that their chances of survival would not be great if he didn't act.

[ Urgent Quest! ]

[ Clear condition: Kill all of the Daemon of Calamity. ]

[ Reward: 5 Exp for 1 Daemon of Calamity. ]

Erend didn't have time to look at Systema's notification that appeared in front of him because he was busy watching the approaching enemy.

Three Daemons charged toward him brandishing their greatswords. Erend threw his rifle. Then took the dagger just like Lt. Boartusk.

[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]

Eren spit fire from his mouth at the three Daemons charging toward him. A pitiful and strange scream rang out. The Daemons stopped where they were.

Erend used that opportunity to lunge at them. The fire didn't just distract them as Erend had expected. The flames he spouted burned the creature's brown skin until it was blistered.

Erend stepped forward and stabbed his dagger at one of the Daemons. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Then he switched to another Daemon and slit his throat.

He proceeded to the other Daemon by stabbing his eye with a dagger. Then Erend pulled out the dagger and stabbed his heart.

Then Erend pushed Daemon's dead body to the ground. Several Daemons that were about to attack him were frozen on the spot.

As soon as they saw what Erend was doing, the Daemons immediately widened their eyes.

Erend heard one of them say something in a language he didn't know.

But those words sounded similar to the word 'Dragon' which is spoken by a hoarse throat or an unhealthy tongue.

Erend didn't want to think too long. He immediately charged toward the Daemons who were like a scared animals.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.1) ]

[ Skill activated: Dragon Claw (Lv.1) ]

Erend activated his two skills simultaneously. He knew about the risk of running out of MP so Erend intended to end this fight as soon as possible.

The Daemons shouted a strange-sounding battle cry and then rushed to attack Erend.

From above, Magic attacks didn't stop attacking Erend either. However, any attack could not penetrate Erend's skin which had turned into reddish-black scales.

"HYAAA!!!"

Erend attacks almost like an angry madman. He didn't see who his claws were targeting.

Erend jumps up, slashing with his claw until he rips the stomach of the Daemon that becomes his target.

Then immediately went to another Daemon and hit his head until it was crushed.

Erend picked up the greatsword that had fallen on the ground and continued to carry out a one-sided slaughter of the Daemons.

"What the hell happened to him, sir?!" Billy looked at Erend with scared and surprised eyes.

"We must retreat!" Lt. Boartusk didn't answer his question because he didn't know what happened to Erend either.

Instead, he gave orders to Billy. He didn't want to get caught up in Erend's massacre that looked so brutal.

They walked away and protected themselves.

The Daemons that originally attacked the two of them now don't care about them.

There was a bigger problem they had to deal with right now. And that 'trouble' had slaughtered most of their colleagues.

The leader of the Daemons party was standing on the hill staring at Erend.

At first, he thought that this ambush would be something easy. Who would have thought that it would turn out like this?

("Dragon! It's a Dragon!") One of the Daemons standing with the leader pointed at Erend with a frightened face.

The leader knows what he sees. The traits he saw in the humans who slaughtered his men were similar to those of a Dragon.

But it is not possible! The leader felt that it was impossible. Of all the possibilities, how could there be a Dragon among the humans?

The leader raised his staff. The red gem on the top of his staff glowed red.

The Daemon leader cast a spell and a magic circle appeared in his palm that wasn't holding the staff.

Erend saw a glimmer of light from above. He widened his eyes. But instead of backing down, he jumped up and approached the leader who was pointing the magic circle at him.

The eyes of the leader and all the Daemons around him widened. Then the leader released his Magic.

Red light mixed with a blackish aura shot towards Erend and hit him.

Erend crossed his arms in front of his body and planted his feet firmly on the sloping ground.

The magic beam pushed Erend's body to fall. Erend gritted his teeth as hard as he could as he continued to endure the impact of the light.

[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]

Erend spits fire from his mouth in hopes that he could match the red beam. And it turns out he can.

The flames from Erend's mouth pushed the red magic beam that was emitted from the Daemon leader.

The beam continued to be pushed back until it finally returned to him.

The red gem on the top end of the Daemon leader's staff suddenly broke into red shards, scattered on the ground.

Because of that, the magic circle was destroyed so Erend's fire immediately reached him and burned the Daemon leader.

Erend didn't stop.

No! He can't stop!

Erend continued to climb towards the small hill. He already felt that his body was starting to weaken.

'A little bit more!' Erend told himself.

Once he got to the top, Erend didn't waste any more time and directly slaughtered the remaining Daemons.

Blood and body parts splattered everywhere.

The originally peaceful forest became chaotic and stinks of dead Daemons.

Erend descends from the hill after killing the remaining Daemons.

As soon as he got to the bottom he immediately collapsed. The last thing he saw was the sight of Billy and Lt. Boartusk running up to him.
