I Received System to Become Dragonborn

What Erend said was something quite surprising. Although actually not something that is beyond reasonable.

If Adrien drives the car. He might become too shocked to keep the wheel.

The car had been running for several minutes after they finished filling up the gas.

The sky above them was so blue. The sun was getting higher but not yet scorching hot.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Aurdis who was sitting next to Erend who was driving asked. Her question represents the curiosity of the others.

Saeldir, who had been putting on a bored face, suddenly looked up at Erend with concern.

Everything Erend says always turns out to be something big. That something includes not only their world but also their world.

So it's only natural that Saeldir pays full attention this time.

Erend took a deep breath before starting to speak. From his sigh alone, he managed to make them nervous.

"I don't know how to start," Erend said. "Sorry if I convey it with sentences that are difficult for you to understand. I'm still having a hard time accepting all of this."

Saeldir who was behind frowned.

'I wonder where exactly he got all that information.'

As an Archmage, all sorts of things related to discovering new information caught Saeldir's attention.

But in Erend's case, it made him even more curious because of the magnitude of the information Erend revealed.

Saeldir tried to eliminate curiosity about the source of the information for now. And focus on what Erend said.

"First, I will say that our efforts will not stop the spread of Magic to this world." Erend started. "Please listen first."

They swallowed back the shock and confusion that had almost spilled out of their mouths.

Erend continued his explanation of what he had heard from Krono and Tut.

Of course, Erend tried to convey it as shortly and simply as possible.

He said that a Magic disaster would occur in this world. Caused by the interactions that occurred between the Elves five years ago.

Erend also said that they still had to stop the experiment because it would only be used as a weapon by the President.

"Dammit, man!" Billy said frustratedly. "Actually, where did you get all that?!"

No one blamed Billy for his frustration. Everyone in the car felt their chests constrict with anxiety.

All the news that Erend brings is nothing but new trouble.

But that doesn't mean they can blame Erend. It's not their fault and they know it.

Erend shrugged and sighed.

"Some sources that... even if you know you won't understand. So it's better if you don't know," Erend said.

"Is that even possible..." Aurdis muttered with an expression of disbelief.

On the seat behind, Saeldir was just as astonished.

Saeldir's brow furrowed because - in contrast to Aurdis who was just confused - Saeldir was exploring his brain to dig up the memory of the information Erend said.

'Is it true that just interacting with beings with high Magic abilities, ordinary humans can use Magic?'

Saeldir had no memory of ever knowing or reading about it.

Maybe because it had never been done before so there was no information filled in.

His race was indeed very strict in terms of their power.

So they never share their knowledge and power about Magic with anyone.

Except, when that man came and was the start of it all.

"You said that guy has Magic similar to us," Saeldir said from the backseat.

All eyes turned to him for a moment in shock.

"Yeah," Erend answered while looking at Saeldir through the rearview mirror.

"Based on what you just said, that guy got the Magic because he lived with the Elf who helped him for a long time," Saeldir said.

Erend had not thought about it before. But now that Saeldir mentioned it, Erend thought that it made sense.

"You're right," Erend replied. "Speaking of that, who exactly is the Elf that brought that man into your world and take care of him?"

They never knew who the Elf was. She is the one responsible for starting all this.

Aurdis and Saeldir looked doubtful. It was as if something was stopping them from saying anything.

Erend turned to Aurdis and frowned because he saw Aurdis' complex expression.

Aurdis looked like she wanted to say something but her mouth was tightly closed.

Her eyes also seemed to show despair.

As soon as he looked at Saeldir through the rearview mirror, Erend saw the same look on him.

"What's wrong with you guys?" he asked. It turns out that Erend wasn't the only one who noticed this. Billy and Adrien were also aware of the condition of the two Elves.

Erend had an idea.

"Are you guys forbidden from saying anything about the female Elf who brought that man over?"

Erend looked at Aurdis. Her expression is still the same as before. That made Erend even more sure that his guess was right.

"Alright. You don't have to answer that," Erend said.

Billy and Adrien exchanged glances. Of course, they also immediately understood.

"It doesn't matter now," Adrien said. "The point now is that we just have to stop the experiment project because the President can use it as a weapon, right?"

"Yes, Captain," replied Erend.

"Alright, then just focus on that matter for now."

The atmosphere in the car turned silent after Adrien said that.

They all contemplated the problem before them with stiff expressions and vacant eyes.

Their minds were set on matters in the future. About the inevitable Magic disaster.

Aurdis felt that her race had a big hand in that based on Erend's confession.

Again, she felt guilty. But she couldn't do anything because it had already happened.

Unlike her, Saeldir was more focused on thinking about the possibilities of sources from where Erend had obtained various important information.

Then he remembered his first impression when he looked inside Erend. Into a boundless abyss that became his power.
