I Received System to Become Dragonborn

If he didn't go to avoid Aerchon and let his mind wander, Erend wouldn't know this place existed.

When Erend looked back, he wasn't sure if he could still find his way back or not.

'I can think about that later. Now there are more important things.'

Erend looked at the Elf who was standing alone.

He wore white clothes like all the Elves here. But he also wore a white robe that covered his body and a hood that covered his head.

Thus, Erend could not see his body features properly. But Erend was sure it was a man from his build.

'What is he doing in this place alone?' Erend wondered. His forehead already showed a deep frown.

The Elf stood in the middle of a deserted and desolate field, alone. That meant he wanted to avoid anyone from seeing him.

If one wanted to avoid the eyes of others, there were only two major possibilities.

He wanted to do something shameful, or he wanted to do something evil. In this case, Erend could only see one possibility.

Whoever the Elf is he will do something evil. That thought was supported by everything that had happened to the Elf palace recently.

Erend saw the Elf spread out his arms. Then a black circle appeared above the ground. The circle looked almost the same as the one Erend saw on the Dark Mage he was fighting.

'Oh, that can't be a good thing.'

Erend knew what the Dark Mage could do once he took out the Magic circle. Nothing good ever comes out of it.

So Erend jumped out of his hiding place and ran towards the mysterious Elf. Erend wanted to ambush him while he was busy with his Magic circle.

But unfortunately, Erend's plan didn't go the way he wanted. The mysterious Elf noticed his presence and immediately turned around.

The lack of light made it difficult for Erend to see the Elf's face even though he was already facing him.

The Elf's face was obscured by the dark shadow. It was as if all the shadows around gathered to cover his face.

The mysterious Elf didn't waste time. When Erend was in a state of shock for a split second because he suddenly turned around, the Elf stretched out his arms towards Erend and threw something at him.

Then suddenly Erend's vision was blocked by something dark. It was as if his ability to see had been snatched away.

Erend tried to touch his face and remove the dark object covering his face. But unfortunately, he didn't touch anything so his hands just crawled over his face.

Besides that, Erend couldn't breathe either. Whatever the Elf did, he had already made Erend lose many things.

Erend, who didn't know when this effect would end, panicked. He fell on the cold ground.

But then a familiar voice rang out.

[ "Don't be afraid, my friend!" ] It was Slime's voice.

The voice echoed in his head and made Erend feel calm.

'Slime, quickly get rid of this!' Erend shouted at the Slime inside his head.

Slime didn't answer. He just went straight out and enveloped the black smoke that covered Erend's head.

The Slime absorbed the black smoke like he had absorbed the poison Shellob had expelled that time.

After a while, the black smoke finally disappeared in Slime's absorption. After that, the Slime went straight away from Erend's face.

"Hhhh... Hhh... Hhh..."

Erend gasping tried to draw as much air as possible into his lungs. He felt that he almost died earlier.

When Erend looked up, he could no longer see the existence of the Elf.

"Shit, he's gone," Erend muttered in annoyance. "Who is that Elf?"

Erend felt certain that he had just met the traitor in the Elf palace who had caused all this.

That dark black Magic, Erend had seen it when he was at Mount Calamity.

The Elf cooperated with the Daemon of Calamity and most likely had also cooperated with the Ogres Kingdom.

Erend immediately stood up and walked quickly to return. He had to tell all this to Aurdis. Because only he would listen to what Erend had to say.

Behind the wall, the Elf stood. He gritted his teeth looking at Erend who was walking briskly to leave this place.

He almost got caught. If he was a little too late to act, the human could have caught him.

The Elf was pretty sure that he could keep up with the Dragonborn. But not without paying a certain price.

The price was that his existence was finally revealed to all the inhabitants of this Elf palace. And he can't afford that.

There were still many things he had to do secretly.

"(I need to get over that

Dragonborn quickly before he makes this whole plan worse,)" The Elf muttered to himself.

Then he hurried away from there. He didn't mind what the human would say about their meeting earlier.

Aerchon, as the highest authority in this palace, would not believe it. Only Aurdis would most likely listen to his words. But in the end, she wouldn't be able to do anything significant.

~~~

Erend had already found his way back into the corridors of the Elf palace. He ran towards Aurdis' room.

Even though Erend knew that it was past midnight and Aurdis also said that she was very tired, Erend felt that this information couldn't wait any longer.

Not long after, Erend arrived at the door of Aurdis' room. He knocked quickly. But the answer from Aurdis can't be heard for a rather long time.

Erend tightened his jaw in panic. He intended to knock on Aurdis' bedroom door even louder. But suddenly the door opened.

Aurdis face looks tired and angry because his sleep was disturbed. But the Elf didn't look bad at all. Aurdis stunned Erend with her current appearance.

She was wearing a very thin white nightgown. Almost transparent.

Erend could even see the peak of the huge mound on Aurdis' chest protruding creating two seductive peaks.

Erend guessed that Aurdis wasn't wearing anything under the nightgown.

Since the dress was short, Erend could also see Aurdis's white and flawless legs. Aurdis' thighs are quite thick, visible up to half. That's how short Aurdis' nightgown was.

Aurdis' hair looks messy. And it made her look a lot sexier than she was used to.

"Erend? What's wrong?" Aurdis asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

She looked at Erend with curious eyes. And also anxiety. Seeing the look on Erend's face at times and how he had knocked on the door in a hurry, Aurdis immediately felt that something was wrong.

But now he saw Erend just standing as if frozen in place. But soon Aurdis realized what made Erend like that.

Erend became like that because of his sleepwear. But Aurdis felt neither fear nor shame. Instead, she smiled mischievously at Erend.

"What do you want to say?" Aurdis asked.

Erend blinked his eyes a few times quickly. Then he realized.

"A-ah?" I'm sorry," Erend said nervously. "Maybe I bothered you, I can come back tomorrow."

Erend turned his body and prepared to leave. However, Aurdis held his arm.

"Don't you want to say something very important? Otherwise, why are you knocking on my door so late," Aurdis said.

Erend didn't dare turn his face to look at Aurdis again.

"That looks like it can wait tomorrow," Erend said.

"Are you sure?" Aurdis asked.

"Yeah." Erend then proceeds to release Aurdis's hand from his with a little force. "I'll be going now. Sorry to disturb your sleeping."

After that Erend went -- almost ran -- away from Aurdis.

Aurdis was more worried about what Erend wanted to say.

She previously had the urge to tease Erend when she saw him looking at her with those nervous and lustful eyes.

But then Aurdis realized that the reason Erend came to her room at this late-night must be important.

Moreover, Erend also knew that she was feeling tired, but he still came and knocked on the door in a hurry.

When Erend had disappeared behind the intersection, Aurdis closed the door. She chose not to think about it anymore and went back to sleep.

Tomorrow, surely Erend will say everything.

~~~

Erend finally returned to his room. His heartbeat was abnormal because it was so fast. His face felt hot.

The sight of Aurdis' body wearing an almost transparent white nightgown was still etched in Erend's memory.

How could he not remember? Aurdis' body is so beautiful and amazing. If conditions were favorable and now they weren't in the middle of a conflict, Erend would have done something he wanted.

Erend shook his head. Trying to get rid of all desire and memory about Aurdis. At least for tonight.

Tomorrow. He has to do it tomorrow. Erend couldn't focus if he said it now. No matter how important the issue is.
