I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 17 Elf Counter Attack

[ "You almost died." ]

Tut's words echoed around him. Erend opened his eyes slowly but he couldn't figure out where he was now.

Erend felt that he was drowning in still water. But he didn't find it difficult to breathe. He cant feel the weight of his body and he could not move.

"Did I die?" asked Erend.

Tut's voice sounded in response. [ "Supposes to be." ]

"Because I ran out of MP?"

[ "Yes. You always fight recklessly especially once you get this power. But I think it's in your nature so it's hard to change it. I don't know if this is an advantage or not, but your nature is the same as the nature of your power." ]

"Am I going to be a Dragon?" asked Erend. Erend knew that Tut was talking about the Dragons. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

[ "Of course." ]

"But why though? why did you choose me?"

[ "I didn't choose you. I'm only here as a guide for you until the appointed time." ]

"Then who chose me?"

[ "I can't answer that." ]

Erend had expected that he would say that.

"Then I'll ask something else," said Erend. "For what purpose was I chosen?"

[ "Something big is about to happen. Something that threatens the peace of many realms. You were chosen to stop that." ]

Erend frowned. "I don't want to be a hero."

[ "A person doesn't become a hero because he wants or doesn't want to." ]

That short answer made Erend flinch a little

"Does that mean I have to save the world?" asked Erend.

[ "You don't have a choice. Do you want to see your friends and family get hurt?" ]

Erend was silent.

[ "Because you have power. You should just use it to protect them." ]

"Well, fine then. But... now what? How long do I have to be in this place?"

[ "You'll wake up in a minute. Don't worry. It's not time for you to die yet." ]

Erend chose not to ask anymore and waited. He doesn't know how long he waited, his body suddenly lifted. A dazzling light shot out in front of him.

[ "Daily Quest will appear in a few days. Get ready." ]

Tut's words led him to leave this place. Erend's body was lifted into dazzling light and instantly the light enveloped his entire body.

Erend opened his eyes with heavy eyelids. Again he woke up in a familiar place. Treatment room in the bunker.

Erend looked around. This room is quiet.

He got out of bed and walked out of the room. His body felt a little weak but other than that he was fine.

Several soldiers met him in the corridor and they greeted him warmly. When he opened the door to his room, Billy wasn't inside. A soldier who happened to pass by said that Cpl. Billy had gone to town with Lt. Boartusk.

'They didn't even wait for me to wake up.' Erend lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Don't know what to do now.

Lt. Boartusk and Billy did bring something important so Erend understood their rush.

Suddenly Tut's voice was heard again.

[ "You can increase your MP by meditating." ]

Erend got up in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me from the start?"

Tut didn't answer. Erend decided not to ask anymore. Maybe he doesn't want to admit that he's forgotten

"How to do it?"

Tut told Erend how to do the meditation. Erend did it right away because it turned out to be pretty easy. He just needed to concentrate and close his eyes while intending to increase his MP.

Erend doesn't know if this kind of way is also done by the Elves to increase their Magic power.

But just as he was thinking, Tut's voice sounded again. [ "This method can only be done by holders of Systema." ]

Tut seemed to be able to read and know what he was thinking. Erend didn't reply and continued his meditation.

Aerchon had finished putting on his white and shiny armor. Then he took his sword.

Arrondite is a sword specially created to be used by Aerchon. The Elf blacksmith who made it used a strand of Aerchon's hair as one of the ingredients. Therefore, the sword can only be used by Aerchon.

The blade is pure white and always emits a small amount of white smoke. The handle is made of silvery wood. Aerchon tucked the sword into its scabbard and hung it around his waist.

Then Aerchon came out of the small palace. His troops were already waiting outside and were also fully armed. Fifty Elf warriors riding on Unicorns lined up on both sides waiting for Aerchon.

The news about the threat of the Daemon of Calamity appearing in the forest made Aerchon immediately order the Elf to prepare for an attack

Aerchon ascended to his Unicorn.

"Let's go!" Aerchon gave the order. Aerchon felt boiling anger when he learned the news. How dare the Daemons of Calamity enter and desecrate their territory!

The elf sent to scout returned and reported that there was a Daemon camp in the outer area of ??the Forest of Rising Sun. Not wanting to think too long, Aerchon immediately ordered an attack as quickly as possible.

Aurdis tried to stop him but Aerchon wouldn't listen. Indeed, the strength of the Deamon of Calamity that was encamped right now wasn't that great. Their chances of winning are quite high.

But Aurdis was still worried. Unfortunately, his older brother was indeed too stubborn, she couldn't stop him.

Aurdis was the first to know that the Daemon of Calamity had entered their territory and attacked the group that brought Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk.

She immediately ordered the Elves to help them but what he found there were Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk who was in the middle of the corpse of the Daemon.

All the Elves who escorted them were dead. Aurdis told them to return to the palace but they insisted on being shown the way to the Portal instead. So Aurdis did it.

Apart from Erend who had fainted, they had no significant injuries. So Aurdis felt that they would be fine and had some Elves escort them to the Portal.

Aurdis's hands joined together in a tight grip in front of her chest. She bit his lip nervously. The Elf troop lead by Aerchon sped away leaving dust behind the feet of the Unicorn they were riding on.
