I Received System to Become Dragonborn

"You must be surprised," Erend said with a smile on his face.

Mithes sighed. Her stiff face had turned more relaxed. "I expected this. But I didn't think anyone could resist my temptation like you," Mithes said. "It's quite disappointing."

"You are the traitor in this palace, right?" Erend said. But from his tone, he seemed to already know that it was the truth.

"Hmm, maybe," Mithes replied. Then she suddenly turned into black smoke. Her body melted and Erend's grip was instantly released.

Mithes appeared shortly after a few steps from where she had been.

Erend would not waste time and let the Elf do something else. He immediately lunged at Mithes.

But instead of welcoming Erend on guard, Mithes smiled. It was as if all of this was still under her control.

And it is true.

*CLICK!*

With a snap of a finger, Erend suddenly moved to another place. Erend of course immediately stopped where he was and looked around.

His brow furrowed as he looked at the place where he was now.

This place seems to be located in the middle of the wilderness. There's a forest not far from here.

But there is something strange about the trees and plants in this place. They appear to have darker skin than the average plant.

In addition, their leaves also have a much fainter green color than the leaves of other plants.

Erend then looked down at his feet. The ground he stepped on was ground with brown grass and gray rocks scattered in various directions.

But even so, the ground part looks the same as the usual soil.

"Fuck!" Erend cursed.

That damn Elf Mithes had moved him to a strange place. And this place must be very far from the Elf palace. It must have been very difficult to find his way back because he didn't know where exactly this place was.

But Erend's hope came. Erend didn't know if it was good, or bad luck that befell him.

It could be both. It depends on the outcome that comes out at the end.

Mithes appeared shortly thereafter at the place. From about ten meters away, Mithes stood up while twirling her dagger in a shrewd motion. It was as if the dagger had become a part of her and could not be separated.

Erend breathed a sigh of relief. At least now he was with someone who sent him to this place.

That way, if he managed to defeat Mithes, he would be able to return to the Elf palace again. That's what Erend had in mind.

"Ah, I didn't think I would have to bring you to this place," Mithes said, looking up at the sky.

The fact that she was able to take her eyes off Erend even in this state seemed to indicate that Mithes wasn't worried at all.

As if the outcome of this battle was clearly within her grasp.

It made Erend a little worried. He didn't dare underestimate his opponent even though he had the power of a Dragon. Or he will have to pay a terrible price.

"Who are you?" Erend asked. He had to get as much information as possible.

"You know who I am. My name is Mithes," Mithes answered. Still with a calm tone and calm face.

"Who else is your accomplice? I'm sure he's still in the palace."

"Hmmm, you do know a lot more than you should. Did you know that would you in big trouble?" Mithes said.

Erend just kept quiet and looked at Mithes.

"You are a human, and you are from another world. Why are you helping the Elves who have invaded your world?" Mithes asked.

There was a bitter feeling Erend could feel from her voice. But Erend immediately brushed it all away.

There was no way an Elf who was his current enemy had any empathy for him.

"Why did you do it?"

"I think all Elves are jerks full of arrogance, arrogance, and have sky-high pride," Erend replied. "But I was wrong. Not everyone is like that."

The smile on Mithes's lips disappeared. Now her lips curled downwards making her face look angry.

"What makes you think they're not all like that?" Mithes asked.

Erend's brow furrowed slightly. Mithes spoke in a tone as if she hated Elves too. That's so weird. Wasn't she a part of them?

"Well, I saw it myself," Erend said. "Now, let's get straight to the point. How can I get back?"

"You can't," Mithes replied. "Not until you can beat me."

Erend nodded. "Yeah, I figure that much."

Then, without saying anything else and preparing for anything, Erend rushed towards Mithes with high speed.

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

Mithes widened her eyes. She didn't expect that Erend would immediately rush towards her to attack.

Mithes threw her dagger at a speed that exceeded the blink of an eye. But Erend's entire body was already covered by the black and red scales.

Erend knew that Mithes would also launch an attack as soon as he saw him rushing toward her. So he immediately activated [Dragon Scale] so he could prepare to receive her attack.

It turned out that Mithes threw her dagger at him. The dagger only hit on the surface of Erend's scale in the head.

*TANG!*

The dagger bounced off in an unknown direction.

Erend is still charging toward Mithes. Mithes tightened her jaw and spread her arms out to the sides.

Then a dozen transparent swords that seemed to be created from magic energy appeared around Mithes.

Mithes then moved her hand forward and a dozen swords shot straight at Erend who was charging.

All the Magic swords hit Erend but none of them could penetrate his scale. But even so, the swords continued to move and attack him.

The clatter of the sword impact and Erend's loud scale filled the place. The attacks that came repeatedly and continuously made Erend stop in his tracks.

He had to close his eyes because his eyes weren't covered by the scales. As a result, he couldn't see Mithes.

"Hmph!" Mithes snorted. "I know you have the power of a Dragon. I wouldn't be stupid enough to fight you on my own without thinking of a plan!"

Hearing Mithes' words amidst the barrage of these swords, Erend became even more worried.

'Shit, what did she have in her sleeve?'

"I will seal your Dragon's power."

As soon as he heard what came out of Mithes' mouth, Erend became even more worried.

'Sealing my Dragon's power?'

If that were true, then that would be very bad. But, can she do that? His Dragon power comes from Systema. And Systema could always block any force that tried to influence him.

A Magic circle with the same symbol as the one he saw back then -- a crescent moon and the shape of three sharp blades -- appeared under Erend's feet.

'I have to get out of here!'

The first thing that came to Erend's mind was that he had to get out of this Magic circle area as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the seal will definitely happen.

Erend stomped his foot to jump. But before he could jump, a kick fell from above and hit his head.

*BUAGH!*

Erend fell back down from receiving the kick. Moreover, the swords were still hitting him without a break.

All of that made it difficult for Erend to get out of this magic circle.

This Magic circle has a diameter of three meters wide. So that Erend can't get out of here just by stepping. At least he should jump.

Erend jumps to the side but yet another attack from Mithes comes and sends him back in.

'This fucking bitch!'

Erend gritted his teeth. Mithes want to keep Erend inside the Magic circle until the seal works. As it turned out, the seal didn't take long to work.

Erend felt a magical pressure attack him from all directions. After that, Systema's notification rang inside his head.

[ "Systema's power of Dragonborn is being compromised. Dragon's power can not be used for an hour." ]

'One hour?'

Erend thought the situation would be much worse than this. He thought the Dragon's power would disappear from his body.

It turns out that the power only cant be used for an hour. But an hour in this battle is a very long time.

The scale that enveloped Erend's body began to disappear. The Magic Swords had also disappeared. As if to give Erend a chance to catch his breath.

Erend saw Mithes standing with a grin that showed satisfaction.

"You now don't have the strength to fight me anymore. What would you be without the Dragon's power?" Mithes said. Then she laughed with satisfaction.

As soon as he was overcome with worry, another notification from Systema sounded.

[ "The only power of Systema currently available is "All Fire-based Power" Skill." ]

Erend smirked. "I don't know. Maybe, a fire sorcerer?"
