I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend's figure covered in red and black scale appeared in front of Steve.

Steve's eyes widened. Even when his brain was almost overtaken by that evil Magic, Steve could still feel the shock of the figure in front of him.

The flames that covered Erend's body seemed meaningless in front of the [Dragon Scale].

Erend didn't wait long to let Steve sink into his shock.

He took Steve's hand and twisted it.

"Arghhhh!"

Erend threw a fist at Steve's face.

*BUAAGHHH!*

The fist sent Steve flying backward. The force of Erend's fist sent Steve's body flying through the wall and ending up in the next room.

Erend looked down at Aurdis with concern.

"You alright?" Erend asked.

"I'm fine." Aurdis nodded. "You have to defeat them as quickly as possible. I think they've become strong Magic users."

"I know," Erend said. "You'll have to take cover for a bit until I make them unable to move."

Suddenly when Erend was talking, a hand wrapped around his neck from behind.

Erend didn't have time to react before ice appeared and covered his whole body. Leaving his head still untouched by the ice.

The ice spread very fast in a matter of seconds. The strength of the hand that was strangling his neck grew even stronger.

However, that power still couldn't break through Erend's strong [Dragon Scale] defense.

"Look at Saeldir's condition. Then help Billy and Cpt. Boartusk," Erend said.

He who was still speaking calmly made it clear that he had no trouble with the attack.

Aurdis answered with a nod. Then she stood up and ran straight in the direction Saeldir was thrown.

The ice that originally only covered Erend's body now has spread to his head.

However, white steam started to appear all over Erend's body. And the ice that covered his body melted quickly.

'Wh-What?'

The one who was strangling Erend was none other than Annie.

She looked shocked. Her eyes widened as she stared at the white steam and her ice melting that fast.

Erend moved his hand. The ice that covered his hand immediately shattered into small pieces on the floor.

Then, Erend punched Annie in the thigh with his elbow.

*DAGGH!*

"Arghh!"

Erend's sudden attack made Annie scream from the sting of pain in her thigh.

Erend did not stop there. He immediately smacked his head against Annie's chin.

*DUAGH!*

Annie staggered backward. Automatically, her stranglehold on Erend's neck was released.

Erend stood up and turned his body towards Annie.

Erend knew that Annie was just a civilian being used as an experiment.

All data on subjects is kept inside a folder that they took from General Lennard's computer.

Information about Annie, who is the subject even though she is only a civilian, makes Erend hesitate.

She might not be doing all of this out of her own will. So maybe Erend should hold back when attacking her.

Erend was too busy with his thoughts that he wasted a few precious seconds.

He didn't notice Steve coming from behind him.

"HYAAAHHH!!!"

Steve lunged at Erend with his body engulfed in flames. Then he threw his body towards Erend.

Erend didn't expect that the force that hit him would be that big. It was as if Steve's strength had increased many times over than before.

Erend has thrown across the room and finally crashed through the wall. He met almost the same fate that Steve had.

But Erend immediately got back up. He now realized that he had to face two enemies that were simultaneously charging toward him.

Saeldir and Aurdis had disappeared sometime earlier. Erend knew he didn't need to worry about them.

Erend saw Steve and Annie from the hole he had caused in the wall.

Apart from that, Erend also saw that the man who had suffered burns and was lying on the floor had started to recover.

'So it means I maybe have to fight three people, huh?' Erend thought.

However, even though he knew that it would be troublesome, Erend didn't feel worried. He can still handle them.

Steve and Annie stood side by side and stared at Erend without saying anything.

The two of them were probably communicating with each other silently right now.

Annie, who was groaning in pain, now looks fine. A bright bluish aura accompanied by cold smoke emitted from her body.

The two of them then ran towards Erend simultaneously. Not only run, but they also threw attacks at him.

Annie formed several ice spears and threw them at Erend.

The ice spears shot as fast as bullets.

Erend raised his hand to block the ice spears from piercing his eyes.

*PRAKK!*

*PRAKK!*

*PRAKK!*

...

The ice spears shattered instantly when they hit Erend's scales.

Steve uses his fire powers to give his body the speed it needs.

*SWOOSSHH!*

Flames came out of Steve's back and sent him flying forward.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Erend and was swinging his fist at him.

*BUAGHH!!!*

Steve's fist hits Erend's face. This time, his fist could make Erend's head turn because of its strength.

Erend was astonished. 'Did his strength increase?'

Previously, the punch he had received from Steve had barely made him feel anything. But now Steve's fists felt much stronger.

*BUAGHH!!!*

Steve's fist flew again to Erend's face and made his head rock to the other side.

After that Annie came with an ice hammer in her hands. Which she has created in a matter of seconds.

*DRAGHH!*

When Annie swung the hammer at Erend's body with all her might, Erend was thrown and smashed into the wall again.

Now he is in the corridor. Annie and Steve lunged at him as if they didn't want to give Erend a chance to catch his breath.

Annie slammed her ice hammer at Erend. And Steve followed up by landing a kick covered in flames.

Erend once again broke through the wall and entered a room he didn't know what.

'I can't turn into a Dragon now. It will be a problem if they see the form of a Dragon in this world.' Erend was talking to himself.

Even though he knew that turning into a Dragon would make him defeat them faster, no one knew how much of a ruckus he would cause once news of his appearance was heard.

A Dragon in a secret facility in the middle of nowhere. That doesn't sound like a simple thing.

Even if the government tried to cover it up, there would be some people who would dig until they finally got their hands on the information.

Erend didn't want him to stand out too much. So, turning into a Dragon is not a good decision.

'After all, I can still handle this.'

Erend was sure that he wouldn't have too much trouble even facing two people who could use Magic well for this battle.

"Who are you? Why did you attack us?" Steve asked Erend.

At this time, for a few moments, Steve's consciousness could return to his body.

That is also shown by his eyes which look like they have returned to normal human eyes.

Annie also just stood next to Steve holding her ice hammer. She will only attack when Steve attacks.

"What you guys are doing is wrong. Do you realize that inside your bodies there is dangerous evil Magic?" Erend said.

Steve frowned. 'I think I've heard his voice before.'

"Let us remove your Magic abilities. Then you won't be hurt," Erend continued.

Steve returned to what was happening at the moment. He felt that whoever owned the voice behind the black and red figure was not important.

Because Steve finally knew their goal. They want to lose his Magic ability. Of course, Steve would not let that happen.

"I can't let you do that," Steve said.

Erend sighed. "Yeah. I knew you were going to say that."

Steve met Erend's eyes. Erend looked back at him and Annie.

They both looked determined. Erend had no other choice but to injure them both badly enough to make them immobile. But not bad enough to kill them.

'Maybe that will be a bit of a problem,' thought Erend.

Suddenly the feeling of rage appeared again in Steve's heart. And Annie - who already had evil Magic in her - also felt that feeling.

Steve gave off his reddish-orange aura. Annie also gave off a blue aura accompanied by a cold mist.

However, now in Annie's blue aura, there was also a dark reddish aura like the one in Steve's aura.

Erend was aware of that. But he wasn't surprised because he knew that it was all the evil Magic from that cursed tree.

'Will it make their strength increase more than before?'

Erend wondered. In that case, he might have to expend more power to deal with them.

Steve and Annie took off at top speed. Erend who no longer wanted to just accept their attacks also dashed towards them.

Meanwhile, Conrad has fully recovered from the burns from Steve's attack getting to his feet.

'I have to go back and warn Thomas. We must leave this facility immediately. I don't want to be caught by the Elves!'

There was a look of fear on Conrad's face. Especially when he found out that it wasn't just one Elf but two.

From the sensation that Conrad felt when he came into contact with the Elf just now, he had great power.

Conrad guessed that the other Elf had powers that were not much different.

He walked through the wall with his chest pounding with fear.

But the fear didn't take away Conrad's senses. Instead, fear sharpens it.

Conrad managed to avoid it by jumping backward before the chains of silvery light appeared and ensnared him again.
