I Received System to Become Dragonborn

But when the Ogre commander looked the two of them in the eye, there was an unnatural glint of courage in their eyes. It made the Ogre commander lose his laughter. There was anger in his heart now.

"(How dare you human?!)" The Ogre commander said in a growling voice. But since he didn't have Magic to translate his words, Billy and Lt. Boartusk couldn't understand what he was saying. But at least they understood that the green creature in front of them was looking down on them.

"Aurdis, do you have another way to escape?" Lt. Boartusk asked.

"Y-yes," Aurdis replied. "But what exactly do you want to do? You won't be able to beat that Ogre."

"Maybe we can't beat him. But we can buy time," Lt. Boartusk replied.

Hearing this Aurdis shook her head.

"You can't do that," Aurdis said.

"Why not? We're just human and you're the Princess," Billy said. "We were destined to die all along. We weren't even welcome in our world."

Billy's words touched Aurdis. She was speechless.

"Hey, don't worry. We're not going to die," Billy said with a smile.

"Aurdis, get out of here," Lt. Boartusk said.

The Ogre commander who seemed tired of their bullshit started walking towards Billy and Lt. Boartusk.

"(Let me handle this,)" The Ogre commander said to the other Ogre behind him.

The Ogre commander raised his greatsword. But suddenly something transparent and tough appeared in front of him. The Ogre commander was surprised to see the mysterious form.

"(Slime?)" the Ogre commander stared in disbelief at the Slime in front of him. He didn't know how a Slime could be here all of a sudden.

Not just the Ogre commander but Billy, Lt. Boartusk, Elis, and Aurdis were also shocked to see what appeared in front of them.

"What's that?" Billy was surprised.

The slime then transformed into the exact same figure as the Ogre commander. But with pink and transparent color.

The slime was also holding the same greatsword. The Ogre commander gritted his teeth. The two pairs of fangs sticking out of the lower and upper jaws trembled. His red eyes glowed brighter.

"HAAAAAAA!!!" The Ogre commander charged toward the Slime who had formed a shape resembling himself with burning fury. But Slimes are not weak creatures either. Since he had been given the task of protecting them, he would do well.

'DAAAANGGG!!!'

The slime parried the Ogre commander's greatsword with his Slime greatsword. Even though it was made of slime, it had the same power as the Ogre commander's original greatsword.

"Wow," Billy gasped. "He protected us?"

Billy saw the Slime put up a good fight with the Ogre commander. It's amazing to see how something pink and slimy can do that.

"Enough!" Aurdis pulled Billy's hand and Lt. Boartusk's. "We must leave immediately!"

Billy and Lt. Boartusk looked confused and dumbfounded. But they are also relieved. Initially, they were ready to sacrifice their lives so that Aurdis could survive. But after all the dramatic scenes it turns out that a Slime comes and saves them.

Billy and Lt. Boartusk followed Aurdis inside again and closed the door.

"Follow me!" Aurdis again led them to go the other way.

She put her hand on the stone wall then a white light appeared on the wall forming a rectangle like a door. Aurdis pushed the door open and showed a new corridor. They all went inside and Aurdis immediately closed the door again.

Erend had already finished killing the five Ogres. Their bodies were scattered on the floor in various conditions. They were mutilated and burned. But one thing is certain, they are dead.

Erend deactivated all of his Skills and now his body returned to its normal human form covered in Ogre blood. His white clothes were red.

Erend thinks he should find Audis and his friends. But he remembered that he had no clue where to find them. Then Erend remembered that he gave the Slimes to follow and protect them. Could he ask the Slimes about their whereabouts?

'Slime,' Erend reached out to Slime through his mind.

[ "Yes?" ] The slime immediately answered.

'How are things there?' Erend asked.

[ "Fighting green creatures." ]

Erend's eyes widened at that. Does that mean the group is in danger?

'Where are you now?'

,m [ "Clos to a carriage." ]

Erend couldn't help but frown deeply. 'What do you mean? Aren't you fighting green creatures?' Erend was really confused.

[ "I fight green creatures and take care of your friends." ]

It wasn't long before Erend immediately understood what was going on. The Slime had split itself apart. One part of it was fighting the Ogre and the other was coming with Aurdis and his friends.

Erend breathed a sigh of relief. The Slime really is a very useful ally.

A huge explosion sounded from outside. Erend immediately ran towards the door and opened it.

He saw the giant green creature he had fought back then. Now the creature was here and there was more than one of them. The green giants with mouths on their stomachs looked so high that their heads could be seen from the top of the wall. There are five of them.

"Fuck!" Erend cursed. Now the magic shield has disappeared. The Elves seemed overwhelmed by the enemy that had come to invade the palace.

Their Magic Power was indeed superior to the Ogres. But their numbers clearly lost especially with the departure of Aerchon with his troops.

Erend saw the green giants approaching and then launched an attack that made the protective walls tremble.

The wall does look strong. But Erend didn't know how long the wall could last. Especially with the continuous strike of the giants.

The smaller Ogres climbed on the giants' bodies to jump over the walls.

'So that's how they got in here,' Erend thought.

Now Erend's mind started to stir. What should he do now? does he have to help the elves? Or go after his friends?

But he didn't have to think too long to decide if he was going to go after his friends. Why did he have to help the Elves who had caused him so much trouble?

So Erend asked Slime about the whereabouts of his friends and Aurdis again. The slimes instantly sent their location to Erend's head. Really convenient.

Slime couldn't say overly complex sentences. But it could send something like this as if Erend's brain had connected to it.

Their location turned out to be quite difficult to reach through the usual route because it was a secret route. So Erend had to use an easier way for him.

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

A pair of Dragon wings grew behind his shoulders. Erend flapped his wings and flew straight to their location.

"So you have an ordinary horse," Billy said, looking at Aurdis who was preparing the horses to pull the carriage.

"Yes." Aurdis only answered briefly because she was busy. After she finished preparing everything she told all of them to get on the carriage.

"This carriage will take you to safety," Audis said. But she didn't get on the carriage.

"Why don't you go inside?" Elis asked in a worried tone.

"I have to stay here. My palace is in danger so I can't go anywhere," Aurdis replied.

"What are you talking about? Your guards said you had to go. They sacrificed themselves for you!" Billy said in a slightly angry tone.

But Aurdis shook her head. "I can't. But you guys have to go."

"Come on, Audis--" Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. Before Billy could finish his sentence the carriage had rolled. Aurdis watched them leave with a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to return to the door, suddenly there was the sound of a large flap of wings. Erend landed right behind her a moment later.

"Why are you alone?" Erend asked.

"Elis, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk have gone to safety," Aurdis replied.

"Oh, that's good," Erend said with a sigh of relief. "But why don't you come with them?"

"I can't leave my castle being attacked like this."

"But you can't fight, can you?" Erend looked at Aurdis with a furrowed brow.

"Even though it's true it's not that I can't do anything." Aurdis looked at Erend with eyes full of sincerity.

Then Erend thought again and realized that he had not seen Aurdis' true abilities either.
