I Received System to Become Dragonborn

He fought better than Saeldir thought. Saeldir cursed this situation in his heart. If only he wasn't in this other world, Saeldir would have settled things with Conrad long ago.

After their fight, most of the underground part of this facility had been destroyed.

They were in the middle of the wreckage which was worrying as the walls around them looked like they might collapse at any moment.

"What is your purpose here?" Conrad asked under his breath. In Conrad's hands now was a sword and shield made of silvery light.

Conrad always put his shield in front of his body. That way he could immediately prepare if an attack came.

Not much different from him, Saeldir also placed an invisible Magic shield in front of his body.

"You stole our Magic," Saeldir replied in an even voice. But inside his heart, he felt quite anxious.

Conrad gritted his teeth. "You treat her like that. It's only fitting that she does something against the rules of your arrogant race."

Saeldir's eyes narrowed to a sharp angle. There was a flash of anger within those blue eyes. Conrad's words just now seemed to have made Saeldir's anger rise in his chest.

"You don't deserve to say that with your dirty mouth," Saeldir said.

"But what I said is true. She doesn't even care about the safety of your race anymore. She said, if destruction will come to your race, she will actually feel relieved," Conrad replied to Saeldir's words with remarks that made his anger burn even more.

Saeldir created a silver lightning bolt in his left hand and threw it directly at Conrad.

Conrad raised his shield of light just in time to block the lightning bolt before it struck his head.

The silvery light flashed around like thunder. Destroying more the part of the wall that is still trying to stand up with its fragile form.

Conrad gritted his teeth because the pressure from the lightning bolt was surprisingly strong.

He sent his Magic energy into his hand that was holding his shield then sent away the lightning.

*JZZYYUU!!!*

*BOOM!!!*

Conrad managed to throw away the lightning with his light shield. However, that made Conrad too late to realize that Saeldir was already running towards him.

Saeldir swung his sword which was enveloped in a dazzling silvery light. Conrad had no time to pull back his shield to block the sword.

So he raised his sword to block Saeldir's sword.

'It won't be strong enough!'

Conrad could feel the power behind the swing. So he knew that he wouldn't be able to endure it completely.

But that was better than doing nothing and letting the sword cut through his head.

*CLASH!*

Saeldir's sword clashed against Conrad's light sword. Immediately, Conrad's sword was pushed back. Saeldir's sword edge struck at his temple.

Saeldir, who was already controlled by anger, did not stop there. He stretched his hand that was not holding the sword towards Conrad's chest then shot a silver lightning bolt again towards him.

*JZZZYYYUUU!!!*

The lightning bolt struck Conrad and immediately threw him back with great force.

Conrad goes through several walls with lightning enveloping his body. He couldn't do anything.

Saeldir immediately followed him and then threw his sword covered in silvery light to follow Conrad.

Conrad finally stopped when he hit a steel wall and caused a great vibration. When he was about to stand up again, he saw another bolt of lightning rushing toward him.

"Shit!"

Conrad immediately raised his light shield. The bolt of lightning struck the shield of light and Conrad sent it flying again like before.

The lightning exploded somewhere next to him. He didn't know because Conrad had already looked up and saw a sword flying towards him.

*CLANGGG!!!!*

The sword is stuck in the wall. If Conrad didn't roll over quickly to avoid it, he would definitely be the one who was skewered by the shining sword.

Conrad felt his pulse quicken as he stared at the shining blade of the sword. He felt that fear in his chest.

'One moment too late I'll be dead!'

Conrad already felt that he was quite a strong Magic user all along.

However, Conrad had never fought an Elf who was used to fighting with their Magic.

Conrad felt the hairs on his neck stand up. When he turned around, Conrad saw Saeldir lunging at him.

His eyes glowed blue with anger. Conrad was starting to regret the words he had just thrown at him.

Conrad jumped while grinding his teeth. He couldn't just give in to fear if he still wanted to live and come back to see her.

So Conrad got up and swung his sword of light towards Saeldir who was approaching.

However, Saeldir threw a blade of light at Conrad, forcing him to raise his shield if he didn't want to be hit by the blade of light.

His armor of light that just now had cracked after receiving the lightning bolt wouldn't be able to block the blade of light if it hit him.

*TANGG!*

The blade of light hit Conrad's light shield. Saeldir stretched his hand to draw his sword from the wall.

A moment later the sword was in his hand and Saeldir immediately swung it at Conrad.

Conrad raised his shield and sword to block Saeldir's sword.

*CRACK!*

But Conrad didn't think that his shield would crack because of that sword.

"You filthy human! How dare you insult my race like that!" Saeldir said. In Saeldir's voice, there was a very strong emphasis.

Saeldir gritted his teeth. The words came out from behind teeth that were gritted tightly with anger.

Saeldir kept pushing his sword with all his strength. The cracks on Conrad's light shield grew wider until finally, his light shield split and shattered.

Saeldir's sword landed on Conrad's left shoulder. Now it was his light armor's turn to be tested by Saeldir's sword. Whether the armor will be able to withstand the sword or not.

"You think with this power you stole you can stand against me?!"

Saeldir poured more Magic into his sword. The sword glowed even brighter as it responded to his Magic.

*CRACK!*

In the end, the light armor that was far inferior to Saeldir's sword despite being in a different world started to crack and shatter too.

Saeldir's sword pierced the armor into Conrad's skin. If the blade hit him, Conrad knew his shoulder would be cut like butter.

However, something unexpected happened.

A bright light appeared as Saeldir's sword touched Conrad's skin. A moment later, an excruciatingly painful sting struck Saeldir.

"ARGGHHH!!!"

Saeldir let out a loud scream from the unbearable pain. He let go of the grip on his sword and fell onto the floor full of rubble.

'Wh... What is this...'

Saeldir groaned in a curled-up position. His whole body seemed to be stiff. The muscles and every cell of his body seemed to be being destroyed from within one by one.

"Ngrrrhhh!!!"

Even Saeldir was no longer able to scream because the pain was so unbearable.

Conrad who was in front of him was also confused. His forehead wrinkled and his eyes looked at Saeldir with a look of confusion and fear that became one.

'Is this some kind of protection from her?'

Conrad looked down at his torn sleeve. His shoulder should have separated from his body. But fortunately, something is protecting him from that fate.

A relieved smile appeared on Conrad's face.

'She must have known that a time like this would come. So she gave her protection to me.'

On the other hand, Saeldir who was in pain tried to refocus his mind as best he could.

Saeldir immediately sent a telepathic message to Aurdis using what little concentration he had left before he lost it.

'Aurdis, help... Me!'

Saeldir's eyes rolled up until they turned white.

He was no longer able to think clearly because the pain clouded his mind. He of course had not thought about Conrad's whereabouts.

More precisely, he couldn't.

Conrad grinned looking at Saeldir who was sprawled in front of him.

"You feel that you Elf bastard!"

Conrad cursed loudly. Realizing his enemy had lost consciousness due to the unexpected help, Conrad sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall.

The moment he sat down, his whole body seemed to lose its strength. Conrad felt weak and he thought that he would not be able to get up again.

But he wasn't worried. Because now his fight with Saeldir is over.

Even though the sounds of fighting around him could still be heard, Conrad didn't really care anymore as he also couldn't do anything.
