I Received System to Become Dragonborn

[Rewards: 400 Exp. ]

What greeted Erend on the other side of the Portal was a pack of big wolves. The pack had thirteen members, according to what was written in Erend's Daily Quest window.

They have thick fur with various colors. There are wolves with brown, silver, and even blue and red fur color. It was an unnatural color for a wolf.

In addition, they have the size so big, they nearly reach five meters tall. That again, is unnatural for wolves.

In front of the pack of giant wolves was a wolf that had jet-black fur. Even so black, the fur seemed to swallow the light from the sun above.

"GRRRRHHH..."

The black wolf at the very front, a wolf that seemed to have a great leadership aura, was growling.

From five meters away - and keep closing in - Erend could hear the growl.

However, Erend was undaunted. He stepped forward and immediately activated the [Dragon Scale] as usual.

Activating [Dragon Scale] was something Erend had made a habit of.

He almost didn't need to think anymore to choose which skill he would activate at the start of each battle.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]

Coupled with the [Dragon Scale] which had reached Level 5, Erend was even more confident about his defensive power.

Erend ran towards the pack of giant wolves.

"GRRRRAAAHHH!"

The black wolf who was at the forefront jumped while pointing its two claws forward. It also opens its jaws wide, showing its rows of sharp teeth.

Erend jumped to approach it. They clashed in the air accompanied by a crashing sound.

The black wolf immediately attacked Erend blindly. Fangs and claws united trying to tear Erend's body.

Unfortunately for the wolf, its claws and teeth couldn't penetrate the [Dragon Scale]'s defense. All of those attacks can be stopped by the red and black scales.

Erend held the black wolf's upper jaw. Then kicked its stomach until the wolf flew backward.

From behind him, two more wolves immediately came and use their claw and fangs to attack Erend's shoulders and back.

Their large bodies made Erend pushed forward and fell down.

When he was at the bottom, the two wolves immediately mauled him mercilessly.

Even though Erend didn't feel any injuries, being mauled like this was very annoying.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

Fire came out from all over Erend's body around and covered the wolves that were mauling him.

They both jumped with screams of pain. Their fur caught fire and the two wolves rolled over trying to put out the fire.

The black wolf let out another growl. After that, a shrill howl sounded from its mouth. As if giving a call for the other pack members to start attacking.

So that's what happened next. Thirteen giant wolves charged toward Erend with ferocity in their eyes.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

Erend shot out fire at the wolves. He immediately used a lot of MP to make his flames bigger.

The flames soared through the air and burned some of the nearby trees.

Erend put out the fire a moment later when he felt that the wolves had scattered.

At first, Erend was sure that the giant wolves had been burned to the ground. Despite their size, they shouldn't be able to withstand such a large amount of fire.

That's what Eren thought. But the reality turned out to be different from his expectations.

The thirteen members of the pack of the giant wolf were still standing straight while baring their teeth. Their eyes radiated far greater rage than before.

Erend saw that on their fur, there were now bits of ice that were starting to melt. The melting ice flakes finally made their bodies wet.

Maybe that's how they survive Erend's fire.

Erend's forehead creased. 'What happened? Now those wolves can use Magic?'

What Erend saw was something close to Magic.

These wolves were definitely not ordinary wolves because of their size. But Erend didn't expect that they could use Magic too.

"What are you?"

Erend's eyes widened slightly in surprise. The wolf with black fur just spoke to him.

Its mouth moves like how humans talk and it makes sounds like humans too. That's so weird.

"D-Did you just... talk?" Erend asked.

"Yes," the black wolf replied to Erend's question.

"Wow, I didn't think you guys could talk," Erend said. "How?"

"That's not important for you to know. We'll be killing you in a moment, so any knowledge you gain will be useless," the black wolf spoke as if it were the truth.

Erend laughed inwardly. They were indeed large in size and could probably use Magic. But, can they really beat his Dragon's power?

'But at the very least, before I kill them I have to get information first. Whatever it is,' Erend thought.

A pack of wolves that were gigantic in size and could use Magic might be storing certain information.

Especially now that a lot of strange things are happening. It was as if everyone was welcoming the coming great calamity.

"Then you can say it without fear of anything, right? Because I will die. At least just say everything," Erend said.

Even according to himself it is a stupid sentence, they can't possibly fall for it, right?

"Very well, I will say it as your last request."

However, the black wolf agreed. Erend is taken aback. But he is happy to listen.

"We are the Lycans, our tribe is the Snjár from the northern mountains," the black wolf said.

'Lycans?' Erend frowned. He had a feeling he had heard that name before.

"Come to think of it, you only need to know about that before you die," the black wolf suddenly added.

'Wow, you can think too.'

Suddenly, the black wolf barked and at the same time begin their attack.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

Erend shot his flames down. A large wave of flames shot out and aimed at the wolves at once.
