I Received System to Become Dragonborn

The Dark Elf stared at Aurdis with trembling eyes. His torn and bleeding lips parted and quivered.

Aurdis looked at him with cold eyes. The sunlight on her back made Aurdis' face enveloped by a dark shadow.

But her blue eyes were bright and clear. That adds to the impression of terror felt by the Dark Elf.

Aurdis moved her hands in a gentle motion like weaving a thread.

Then threads of silver light appeared between Aurdis' fingers and wrist.

"(W-What are you going to do?)" the Dark Elf asked.

Aurdis did not answer that question. She just stretched her hand towards the Dark Elf and the silver thread immediately bound his body.

Not only binding, but the silver thread entered his body without a trace.

The Dark Elf felt that he had completely lost control of his body. He could no longer feel the Magical energy coursing through his body.

"(You'll just gonna stay there for a while until this is all over,)" Aurdis said. "(Then when all this mess is cleared up, I'll take care of you.)"

After saying that, Aurdis flew up again. Leaving the Dark Elf in this narrow alley alone.

The wound on his hand had closed so the bleeding had stopped.

The wound from Aurdis hitting his head earlier had also recovered.

Overall, his body condition is quite good.

Yet, he couldn't move or make a sound. And could only stay silent and wait for Aurdis with a feeling of fear that he had never felt before.

The Dark Elf could only surrender and succumb to the fear Aurdis gave him. And he could only wait until his time came to receive torment from Aurdis again.

Aurdis shot up towards the fight between Aerchon and Saeldir who fought Laston.

She saw that Laston could keep up with them even though he was fighting two opponents.

It shows how strong Laston is right now.

Aurdis saw that Laston was fighting with a dagger in each of his hands.

He was also surrounded by a sinister-looking dark Magic aura.

Meanwhile, Aerchon and Saeldir were enveloped in a Magical silver aura.

The difference between the two Magic auras made their battle look very contrasting.

Laston noticed Aurdis' arrival. Unlike before when Aurdis was able to catch the Dark Elf off guard.

Laston fired black lightning at Aurdis from the tip of his dagger.

The lightning struck Aurdis strongly and made a very loud roar.

Luckily, Aurdis was able to create a shield in time. When the lightning ended, Aurdis' Magic shield also shattered.

'I've never seen an attack that can break my Magic shield!'

Aurdis shocked. The Elves' magic shields are usually very strong against any attacks that hit them.

Aurdis had never seen an attack break her Magic Shield.

But apparently, Laston's Magic attacks were on a different level from all the attacks she had faced so far.

Fortunately, Aurdis had created a pretty strong Magic Sheild.

That alone could be shattered by that black lightning strike. If Aurdis put up an even weaker Magic shield, she would be finished for sure.

Seeing Laston distracted by Aurdis, Aerchon and Saeldir lunged at him.

They both swung their sword at Laston.

But Laston expected that to happen. He wouldn't have made the decision to attack Aurdis if he wasn't sure he could handle the attacks that came after that.

Laston raised his pair of daggers just in time to block both of their swords.

Magical aura spread in all directions due to the impact of the Magic weapons.

Aurdis immediately took the opportunity to send blades of light toward Laston.

However, Laston's body immediately turned into a puff of black smoke, and Aurdis' light blades just pierced through the smoke.

Laston appeared not far in front of them in the same black puff.

He looked down because he realized something was off.

Laston tightened his jaw as he stared at the Forest Elves who were moving nimbly from roof to roof, slicing the palace Elves without pause.

"(Look, uncle!)" Aerchon screamed with clear sign emotion. "(Look at what you've done to our people!)"

Laston turned to Aerchon. His jaw was still tightening. His eyes shook slightly at Aerchon's words.

Even though it wasn't him who cast the Undead curse. But Laston would not be able to deny that it all happened because of him.

The sight of the suffering Elves suddenly knocked on his heart.

Hadn't he been committed to doing this from the start?

He already knew that the blood of the Elves in this palace would be shed because of his actions, and he was willing to accept the consequences.

Laston thought about what he could gain from this betrayal. And he thinks it's worth it with all the lives he has sacrificed.

But, if that was true, why did his heart now feel this tight pressure?

"(Enough is enough, uncle! Give up,)" Aurdis said.

Give up? Did the princess just tell him to give up? After all that had happened? After everything he has done?

Laston glanced down again. The Forest Elves that definitely brought by Aurdis here were carrying out a massacre down there.

What they massacred were the Elves of the palace who had turned into brainless moving corpses.

Something that happened because of his actions. After all this, there was no turning back for Laston.

He could only keep moving forward by stepping on all the corpses he had created.

Laston said nothing more. He was rushed to Aerchon, Saeldir, and Aurdis with a fixed resolve.

Aerchon shouted loudly, approaching Laston with Arondite who was burning brighter.

*DANGGG!*

Arondite's blade and Laston's dagger's black blade clashed.

They feel their power pushing each other. But both of them try to hold strong.

Their eyes met. Laston saw that Aerchon's tears were starting to flow.

However, those tears were immediately blown away by the Magic wave and disappeared.

No one could realize that Aerchon had just shed tears.

The sight of Aerchon's sad face made the feeling of tightness in Laston's chest even heavier.

However, he already had the resolve to ignore it.
