I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 21 As Expected

[ "You don't want to go back to your world?" ]

"What are you saying? I just got the ability to transform into a Dragon! You think I'll come back?" Erend walked a few steps with an excited smile on his face.

[ "But your MP is about to run out." ]

Tut stating the fact even made Erend freeze on the spot and lose the smile on his face.

"Shit, you're right." Erend took a deep breath. "Then we'd better go back."

After saying that, a portal opened in front of Erend. He glanced back and saw the gruesome sight he had just created. Erend slightly grimaced seeing it all.

"Have I become a monster?" Erend muttered to himself as he stepped into the portal.

When he returned to his room, Erend went straight to the bathroom. Cleaned himself and washed his clothes which were full of Goblin blood and organs.

After that Erend returned to his room. He lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Hey, Tut."

[ "What?" ]

"What if I become a monster?"

[ "What's your definition of a monster? From a human point of view, creatures in other worlds such as the Elves, and the Goblins you just slaughtered, they are monsters. However, to them, you could be the monster." ]

Tut's answer made Erend think and be silent for a while.

"Why does this power make me so easily rampage like that?" Erend asked while looking at his own hands.

[ "Dragons are indeed creatures filled with anger. Their blood seems to be boiling all the time. You've had a vengeful personality from the start. Plus that Dragon's power. This is how you are now." ]

Erend snorted. "Thanks for your answer. Now, I'm going to meditate again."

Tut's voice disappeared before long. Erend started to close his eyes and meditate again.

Billy and Lt. The Boartusk already knew about what they got when they went to the headquarters within the walls.

The military higher-ups would not take their advice easily. Even when wanting to show the cylinders given by the Elves, Billy and Lt. Boartusk had to beg to show them. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

In the end, there were only two high-ranking military officers who would listen to them. The few who left said that they didn't want to be affected by the magic brought by the Elves.

Billy and the lieutenant waited in a room that could be used for meetings. The room was like a classroom with several rows of chairs and tables neatly arranged. Their faces were both very tired and full of boredom from waiting for three hours. During that time, no one bothered to offer them any food or drink.

Billy took a deep breath. "If Erend was here he would have gone berserk and made a mess, sir."

Lt. Boartusk snorted and then chuckled. "You're right. It was a good decision not to bring him here."

"Especially with that new power."

Lt. Boartusk was immediately pensive at Billy's words. But they don't want to talk about it because they don't know anything about Erend's new power.

The two of them bear witness to what Erend can do with his new powers. He turned into something that could slay an army of horned monsters that could even kill the Elves escorting them.

After a few minutes of being lost in their thoughts about Erend, the door to the room opened. Two men went inside. They are military officials who are willing to give the opportunity to listen to Billy and Lt. Boartusk even further.

LTC. Thyme Ibis is a man whose hair is almost all white but still stands tall and strong.

LTC. Alan Coil also seems to be of the same age as LTC. Ibis but her hair is still jet black and her face looks younger than her actual age.

"Sorry, you have to wait long," said LTC. Coil.

"It's alright, sir," replied Lt. Boartusk.

"Please explain briefly, Adrien," said LTC. Ibis to Lt. Boartusk.

"Yes, sir."

After that Billy and the Lieutenant opened the golden cylinder given by the Elves. The two military high-ranking officers were slightly surprised at the golden light that appeared. But Billy and Lt. Boardusk were able to convince the two of them to remain calm.

Finally, the two high-ranking military officers watched the footage of a human stealing something from the Elf world. Billy and Lt. Boartusk explained as slowly and clearly as possible.

About the purpose of the Elves attacking them, the deadline given by the Elves before they attack again, and those who must find the man who stole the Elf artifact.

Billy and Lt. Boartusk did not expect the two high-ranking officers to immediately believe them. But they both keep trying.

Surprisingly, the two officers did not immediately refute their statement. They were both quite surprised for a while. Then, the two of them exchanged glances as if expecting this to happen.

Billy and Lt. Boartusk exchanged glances at their reaction.

Looks like they know something. That was the meaning of Billy and Lt. Boartusk's look.

"Do you believe what the Elves say?" Ask LTC. Coil.

"They stopped the attack, sir. I don't trust them. But we don't think they have a choice now because they have their own problems too," said Lt. Boartusk.

LTC. Ibis took a deep breath. "We know who that man is."

The answer was expected by Billy and Lt. Boartusk. The two of them silently waited for the military higher up to reveal it themself.

"Make no mistake. We don't know that the reason the Elves attacked us was because their artifact was stolen. We don't know anything else apart from the attack. We're also surprised by your explanation." LTC. Ibis continued.

"The man is now in the center of the capital," said LTC. Coil. "But we don't have enough power to hand him over to you. He's protected by the President."

"Did they know what the artifact was for, sir?" Billy asked.

"We don't know. Maybe. Our power isn't that high to know." LTC. Coil shook his head.

"The point is, we need to retrieve the artifact as quickly as possible, sir."

Lt. Boartusk half demanded.

"I know. But we can't do anything," said LTC. Ibis. Billy and Lt. Boartusk looked at each other in exasperation.
