I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend looked up worriedly. While he faced Steve here, he had no idea what had happened to Aurdis and her friends there.

On the other hand, Steve had risen to his feet. His teeth gritted tightly. His red and black eyes stared at Erend with hatred.

Erend sensed that the threat from Steve was ready to come at him again.

So he turned his gaze from the direction of the facility filled with flames soaring into the sky.

The way he can come to help with the problems his friends are having is by solving his problems with Steve here. There's no other way than that.

So Erend lunged at Steve and then immediately threw a water ball at him.

Steve shouted as he held out his hand in front. A jet of dark red flames burst out to approach the water ball from Erend.

The volume of Steve's flames seemed much bigger than the water ball Erend threw. So that the water ball was immediately engulfed by a torrent of dark-red fire.

Erend himself didn't think that Steve would emit such a big fire. So he was not ready for the bursts of fire that came to him.

Even so, Erend did not run out of ways to get away from this problem. He created a wall of water out of nothing very quickly.

*JWUUSSHH!!!*

The water hit the torrent of fire that Steve released. Once again a white mist was created from evaporating water.

Erend dashed through the white mist. Moments later he saw Steve's figure engulfed by the dark-red flames.

Erend flapped his wings to push his body forward. The flapping of his wings blew away the white mist around him.

In the blink of an eye, Erend was right in front of Steve.

However, unlike before when Erend was able to land punches on Steve with ease, now Steve was able to block Erend's fist.

*DAKK!*

Then, Steve took turns swinging his hand toward Erend's face.

But Erend was able to avoid it. He then released water from his hands to wrap around Steve's body.

But Erend's intention was thwarted by the dark-red flames that surrounded Steve's body.

The fire instantly evaporated the water that Erend was going to use to wrap around Steve's body.

Knowing that the fight would not be good for him at this distance, Erend decided to keep his distance from Steve until he see that he would have an advantage in close combat.

Erend flapped his wings. A strong gust of wind pushed Steve back and simultaneously pulled Erend away from him.

Erend landed a few feet from Steve. But he wasted no time in staying silent and immediately threw water spears at Steve.

Steve saw the arrival of the water spears. So he immediately jumped back.

But Steve's body could no longer obey his brain's commands.

His fighting instincts told Steve to move away. However, his body, which had begun to be eroded by the power of the fire from the cursed tree, had already weakened.

​ To deal with the incoming water spears, Steve let out another torrent of fire.

He could no longer see the water spears because they were blocked by his fire.

But that didn't matter because with his fire he could obliterate all the water spears that Erend threw.

Steve stopped his flames after a few moments. His fighting instincts ordered him to lunge directly at Erend and give him a head-on attack.

However, when Steve removed the flames, the water spears were still there. Floating in the air as if waiting for the right time to move again.

It turns out that Erend controls his water spears to stop temporarily in the air before they come into contact with Steve's fire.

As soon as the fire dissipated, the water spears shot quickly toward Steve.

Seeing that, of course, Steve wanted to release another torrent of dark-red fire. But the water spears were faster than him.

*JRAATT!!!*

*JRAATT!!!*

*JRAATT!!!*

...

More than a dozen water spears stuck in Steve's body. The fire that surrounded his body couldn't block Erend's water spears.

The water spears split as soon as they hit Steve's body and formed a layer of water that surrounded his body.

Erend continued to channel his Magic energy to maintain the layer of water on Steve's body.

Because of the layer of water, the dark-red fire surrounding Steve's body started to shrink.

White steam also rose indicating that Steve was trying to burn Erend's water layer.

Steve is now struggling because the layer of water has limited his ability to release his fire power.

Seeing the opportunity coming before his eyes, Erend prepared his water power to issue a big attack on Steve.

Erend gathers his water energy. When using his Skill, Erend doesn't need to think too far to be able to perform a technique to launch an attack.

He only needed to imagine the result he wanted from the Skill while pouring in his will and Magic energy.

Just like now, when Erend imagines he will create a giant water serpent.

Erend released his concentration to maintain the layer of water that covered Steve's body.

Then focus all of his concentration and Magic energy on the attack he was going to do now.

Initially, Erend created a ball of water. Then throw the water ball up.

And after that, the water ball turned into a water serpent that was the size of a car and ten meters long.

Erend directed his giant water serpent toward Steve.

The water serpent opened its mouth when it arrived in front of Steve as if it wanted to eat him.

Steve saw the water serpent's jaws open. But he couldn't do anything quickly because there was still a layer of water covering his body.

So the jaws of the water serpent grabbed him and carried him flying up before finally slamming him back to the ground.
