Chapter 370 Disturbance
'Has there actually been a race here that could perform Magic in the past?'
That question just pop up in Aurdis's head when he saw this formation. Erend, Billy, and Adrien even said that they didn't know the history of these places clearly. They only know about the legends and stories that are circulating, there are no clear records about all the places that are most likely to be Adaeram or these points of power.
That gave rise to an idea that was enough to spark Aurdis' curiosity. It might be true that in this world some humans possess Magic, and it's become a secret among their small community.
Or it could just be an idea in her head. Aurdis didn't want to think about it for too long so she shook her head and started working on her Magic circle.
She knelt and placed her hands on the ground, feeling the coldness of the grass and ground still wet with dew. Aurdis concentrated and channeled her Magic energy into the ground.
"Aurdis, do it quickly," Erend said to him in a worried tone. He who was watching around not far from her stared at her with a stiff facial expression.
Aurdis looked up and saw Erend's expression. She said. "I will do my best."
Erend only replied with a short nod. It was clear that something was bothering him, Aurdis could see how he would move if Erend was ready to launch his attack on whatever came out.
Even though Aurdis didn't know what Erend was feeling or seeing, she decided to trust him. So far it's been clear that Erend has much stronger intuition than her or Saeldir. It was as if, he could see into the future.
Aurdis reinforced the Magic she channeled to the ground, a moment later a silver circle of magic appeared above the ground. The circles were about one and a half meters wide, and the runes of the ancient Elven language started appearing on the inside of the circle.
It was then that something appeared from the depths of the forest and charged toward her with incredible speed.
Aurdis looked up, she saw a wolf with red eyes exuding a great killing intent. The speed of the wolf made Aurdis unable to do anything to protect herself, especially since she was in the middle of the process of making the magic circle.
*WUSSH!*
But Erend came with the same incredible speed as the wolf in front of her. He swing his fist and threw the wolf several meters back.
Aurdis breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that this is the reason why Erend asked her to do it quickly. But why did a monster suddenly appear here and target her directly?
When Aurdis looked up she could see Erend gritting his teeth in a furious and furious expression.
"That is the creature from Chaos Realm that I told you about," Erend said through gritted teeth.
Hearing his words, Aurdis immediately turned her gaze to the wolf that was thrown. She didn't have time to wrap her mind around what Erend had said before she saw an even more shocking sight.
The wolf stood back up even though one side of its face was crushed by Erend's fist. Not only that, from within the forest various beasts appeared with bloodshot eyes like that wolf.
There were other wolves, boars, tigers, and even snakes. Their number was quite alarming, maybe there were dozens and all of them looked full of outrage.
"Is it done?" Erend asked.
"N-Not yet. In a moment," Aurdis replied then immediately continued her task.
"Alright. I'll settle things with him first."
Erend walked over to them instead of waiting on the spot. He seems to have a grudge against the creature that controls all the beasts and wants to take it out immediately.
Erend cracked his knuckles and neck. His steps are fast and firm with the attitude of a predator approaching its enemy.
'Oh, the Chaos Realm creature has angered Erend to this degree.'
Aurdis swallowed her saliva. She had seen how Erend fought and the end for his enemy was never good.
But this is a creature from the Chaos Realm. Mysterious Creatures that even the Elves don't understand. That made Aurdis feel apprehension in her heart.
'Please, be okay, Erend.'
The beasts charged simultaneously towards Erend who was walking towards them alone.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]
[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]
Black and red colored scales appeared to cover his body. After that flames appeared blazing all over his body. All of that made Erend look like a monster.
A tiger jumped at him with claws extended forward. Erend raised his flaming fist and punched the tiger in the face, threw it backward, and crashed into another tiger.
Erend's punch not only crushed the tiger's face but also burned it. His fire spread quickly around the tiger's body, making the beast scream full of pain.
However, all the other beasts didn't care about it and just continued their charge towards Erend.
Erend increased his running speed and in a few seconds, he was right in front of the army of beasts.
He spread both hands and let out torrents of fire from his hands, burning all the unfortunate beasts in front of his hands. But the other beasts certainly don't want to stay silent, they jump with claws and fangs bared at Erend.
Erend withdrew his hand and cast a wall of fire from his whole body around. He knocked all the beasts out from around him. They all fell to the ground, burning; they should no longer be able to get up and even move. However, all of the beasts got back up despite their nearly destroyed and burnt bodies.
Erend felt anger burning in his chest. He knew who was behind all these raging animals. Svaros, the God of The Fallen Beast, was how he introduced himself at that time.
That creature of Chaos Realm made all the innocent animals in this forest as his minions and Erend was forced to kill them.
"SVAROS!" Erend shouted in a furious tone. His voice echoed all over the place. "Show yourself, you fucking bitch! Don't keep hiding behind all the monsters you created! I'll make you regret your decision because you've messed with my world!"
Then, deep and heavy voices came from all the beasts around Erend simultaneously.
"I will come to you, Dragonborn! And when that time comes you will taste an agonizing death."
"I doubt it. You're just a coward who can only continue creating all these monsters. I'll show you what suffering really meant. That is, if you dare to appear in front of me in person. You are no God. You're just another kind of filthy monster."
All the animal beasts around him growled simultaneously. Their fiery red eyes grew even brighter as they were burned by the anger of Svaros controlling them.
And then, they all charged toward Erend simultaneously. Erend, seeing no other way to save these animals, decided to end their suffering as soon as possible.
He waved his flame-covered hand to kill all the beasts. Not intending to let anyone alive endure the suffering any longer.
Aurdis had finished making those Magic Circles. But she still hadn't contacted Saeldir and Aerchon to say it because she was still looking at Erend with a troubled look.
Erend looked overcome with anger. She heard what he said to the creatures of the Chaos Realm just now. There was too much anger in Erend's voice and Aurdis could understand that.
After what the creature did since yesterday, controlling the bodies of the human inhabitants of this world and making Erend have to kill them, now it possesses innocent animals. And again, Erend had to kill them.
The Magic circle lit up, then Aerchon, Billy, and Adrien appeared there. Even though Aurdis hasn't contacted them yet, Aerchon knows that the Magic circle has been completed. Not wanting to waste time, he directly teleported them here.
They didn't expect that they would be greeted by Erend's rampaging sight.
"What the... Aurdis, have those animals evolved into monsters too?" Billy asked.
"Yes. But not because of the Magic that awakened in their bodies," Aurdis replied. "It is a creature from the Chaos Realm."
Aerchon turned to her with eyes wide with shock. "The creature from Chaos Realm?!"
Aurdis nodded. "That creature seems to have known about Erend for some time before this. He knows about his Dragon power and Erend knows the creature's name."
"Name?" Aerchon asked, even more astonished.
Aurdis turned to Aerchon. "He said the creature's name is Svaros."
