I Received System to Become Dragonborn

"(You know I have to,)" Aurdis replied.

Eliril let out a chuckle. "(Yeah, you don't want your precious Magic to be touched by another creature.)"

"(You already know that man will be able to use Magic after you stay with him for too long.)"

Eliril looked at Audis. "(Of course.)"

"(Listen, Eliril. I don't hate you. But now you have to let me remove the Magic from that man.

Do you know what will happen if that man brings Magic to his world?)"

Eliril was just stroking the leaves of the tree next to her. She didn't seem to care about anything Aurdis said.

"(The ruler of that world will use Conrad as a weapon to win his war.)"

Eliril's hand that was stroking the leaves suddenly stopped after hearing Aurdis' words just now.

"(You should let me remove his Magic.)" Aurdis said to confirm once more.

"(I can't stop you if you decide to remove his Magic again,)" Eliril said.

Aurdis blinked in confusion.

"(My protection Magic can only be used once. And now I can no longer do anything.)"

Aurdis's face said relief.

"(But, don't hurt that man,)" Eliril said while looking at Aurdis with her sharp brown eyes.

Suddenly, Aurdis noticed a dangerous glint in those light brown eyes.

"(I won't do anything to him. I just need to remove his Magic,)" Aurdis said.

Eliril gave a curt nod. "(You can leave here now.)"

Aurdis bit her lips. "(I'm sorry for what happened to you and your father. I-)"

"(Aurdis,)" Eliril cut in. "(You better stop saying something you don't understand. Or you'll just be spouting pointless nonsense.)"

Aurdis was silent at the tone of voice that gave her chills.

"(Go. I don't want to see you here much longer.)"

After that, Eliril waved her hand. Aurdis felt she was being pushed by a very strong force that she could not fight against.

Aurdis' body was pushed up into the air and disintegrated into falling leaves. Then it disappeared completely from this place.

Eliril gritted her teeth. Holding anger and sadness in her chest.

But she did not vent that anger. She didn't want to spill her words on the plants and living things in this forest. Or they can die immediately because of her power.

So Eliril just exhaled. Her breath turned into a soft mist that merged with the forest air.

Conrad's figure flashed in her head. A situation that made Aurdis able to enter here and intend to remove Conrad's Magic. That means she succeeded in subduing him.

Eliril's heart ached. Because of something she gave with the intention of protecting Conrad, he was now in a dangerous situation instead.

Eliril didn't know what was going on. So she can only speculate. It had been so long since Conrad had left and not seen her again.

Even though Eliril could still feel Conrad's presence through her Magic inside his body, that couldn't make up for her longing.

Now her Magic has disappeared from Conrad's body. Which meant the only connection between them had disappeared.

She knew that this would happen because the Elves wouldn't let a normal human get their hands on their Magic. Because of that, she put up a protection Magic for Conrad.

The protection Magic could only be used once and would most likely kill anyone who threatened Conrad's life.

Eliril's head shot up as she realized something.

"(If the Magic is gone, then one Elf has died.)"

A smile appeared on Eliril's face. At least, that would cure her sadness because she could no longer feel Conrad after her Magic disappeared from his body.

"(Whoever it is, they deserve it.)"

Aurdis' consciousness returned to her body. Her body jerked backward. Luckily Erend swiftly caught her before she really fell.

"I-I did it," Aurdis said.

They all are relieved to hear the good news.

But suddenly another bad news came.

Adrien who had watched until outside the room has returned.

"Looks like word of the chaos here has reached the President. I heard helicopters outside!" Adrien said.

The underground facility must have been broken in a wider area than it first appeared so Adrien could hear helicopters outside.

"Alright. Since we're done, we have to get out of here as soon as possible," Erend said.

They immediately moved. But as soon as Aurdis tried to get up, she fell again.

"What's wrong?" Erend asked with a worried look.

"It seems... I'm out of energy," Aurdis replied.

Erend immediately carried Aurdis on his back. For Erend, Aurdis' body didn't feel heavy at all.

Then he stood and looked at the others. "Let's go!"

Adrien walked ahead to take the lead and overcome the obstacles in their path. Erend said that the fastest and most obvious way to get out of there was through the place under the hole he created during his fight with Steve.

So they went there.

"Hey, you got over Annie, right?" Erend asked Aurdis who half closed his eyes on his back.

"Yeah, I found her with Adrien and Billy earlier. She caught off guard because we were still using invisibility Magic," Aurdis answered.

Hearing that, Erend breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

They continue their journey. The sound of helicopters filled the sky outside. It was clear that there was more than one helicopter circling the facility area.

"What should we do now?" Billy asked worriedly. The existence of this many troops would trigger a complicated situation if they saw them.

"Do you guys still have enough Magic to make us all invisible?" Adrien asked while looking at Saeldir and Aurdis.

"For now, if I use my Magic, I will definitely faint. Aurdis' condition is worse than mine" Saeldir said.

Upon hearing Saeldir's words, they all sighed. Their faces were all filled with worry.

"But, I still have something I prepared," Saeldir added, allaying their worries.

Saeldir reached into his cloth bag and pulled out a bottle filled with clear liquid. The bottle was about the size of a beer can and filled to the brim with clear liquid.

"Drink this," Saeldir said.

Without asking much, they all drank the liquid from inside the bottle in turn. When finished, their bodies turned invisible again. However, they can still see each other.

"This can last for fifteen minutes. If we can get away with it within that time, there won't be a problem," Saeldir said.

"I think that's enough," Billy said. "What are we waiting for?"

They continued walking towards the hole. It wasn't long before they arrived at the hole.

Just like before, Adrien was the first to climb down the hole because only he could do that. Because Erend was carrying Aurdis, and Billy was carrying Saeldir.

Adrien looked around when his head was outside. There are several squads of troops with full weapons combing around.

However, the number of troops was not so great that it was impossible for them to pass. They're also spread out in all directions so they're not too tightly packed together.

Adrien relayed what he saw to all of them.

"We can slip through them if we're careful," Adrien said. "Let's go."

Erend was the first to come out with Aurdis. He jumped easily as if not carrying anything.

As soon as he got outside, Erend immediately paid attention to his surroundings to be prepared if someone caught him.

But the clear liquid turned out to be very effective in hiding their presence. No one realized that they had already come out of the hole.

Erend nodded down the hole, where the others waited. Then, they came out of the hole one by one.

They walked carefully past the soldiers who were combing. The effect of the clear liquid was so amazing that no one noticed even when they stepped on the dry leaves and stems strewn across the forest.

After a quite thrilling journey, finally, they arrived at their parked car.

"Now how do we get away with this car? The helicopter is still up there" Billy said.

"Just pour the potion on the car," Saeldir said.

"That will work?" Billy looked at Saeldir with a surprised look.

Saeldir only answered with a nod and took the bottle filled with clear liquid earlier. He handed it to Billy. Billy then splashed all of the liquid in the bottle onto their car.

Once again they were amazed at how much levity it was to live with Magic and all the different things that could be created with Magic.

They get into that car and go from there. Undetected by everyone who was looking for them.

The helicopter above was still circling while flashing its lights.

However, there would be nothing they would find other than traces of destruction and Steve's corpse which had probably crumbled to ashes by now.
