BXBX NOVEL Chapter 371 His Anger
Aerchon had never heard of that name before either. However, his face showed the same face as Aurdis. Anxiety and fear.
The two of them as Elves still didn't know that just by saying or hearing the names of the gods from the Chaos Realm, they could feel a fraction of their power. It gave rise to an inexplicable feeling of anxiety and fear in their hearts.
"Sva-" Aerchon felt as if his throat was forcing him to stop before he managed to say it. He doesn't know why.
As the weight of that name's influence grew, so did their anxiety. Aurdis, too, sensed an inexplicable difficulty in uttering those names.
"Yes," Aurdis said. "Maybe... Erend knows something more about that."
She turned to Erend who was still busy killing all the beasts that turned into monsters. Aerchon looked up with his lips pressed together. He saw Erend go berserk enough to destroy a large area of this place.
Aerchon came here with Billy and Adrien first while Saeldir and Arty waited for the next Magic circle.
"Let's place the artifact," Aerchon said, awakening Billy and Adrien's reverie, who was looking at Erend with a complicated look between admiration and fear.
"Yeah, we better hurry," said Adrien.
Aerchon took out a white stake made of clear crystal. The stake was one meter long and within it was a silver light swirling like mist ― Magic energy that had been extracted from Erend, Billy, Adrien, and Arty.
"Place your hands here," Aerchon ordered them. Billy and Adrien immediately complied.
The two of them gripped the stake and felt that the Magic within their bodies was also reacting well. Their magic energy was absorbed back into the stake.
Aerchon pulled the stake down and then drove it into the ground. After that, he closed his eyes and concentrated on activating it.
Billy and Adrien felt a slightly stronger pull than before.
And then, a shockwave shot out from the stake to the surroundings like ripples suddenly rising from the middle of a calm water surface.
"It's activated now," Aerchon said then let go of his hand. Billy and Adrien followed suit.
Almost simultaneously with that Erend as well finished killing all the beasts that had turned into monsters. He was panting amidst the corpses that were torn to pieces with bodies covered in blood, looking up with eyes still burning with rage.
He seemed to be able to see the form of Svaros before his eyes. Erend will shred him to pieces if he meets him face to face despite the danger he gives as the god of the Chaos Realm.
"Erend!"
Aurdis' voice broke his angry reverie and he turned his head.
"It's done!" Aurdis said.
Erend walked towards them and deactivated all of his Skills, making him look human again. Though blood still covered her clothes, it wasn't a problem because Aurdis immediately used her Magic to clean all the blood.
Erend turned to Billy and Adrien. "It's still a long way to go. Just hang on."
"We know," Billy said.
"You will work the hardest of us. You don't have to worry about us," Adrien said.
Erend nodded with a small smile.
Meanwhile, Aerchon looked at him with eyes full of inquisitiveness and caution. He could feel it, despite his seemingly calm appearance, there was a fire boiling hot inside Erend.
"You need Magic energy again?" Aurdis asked.
"No. I only used very little of my Magic energy," Erend replied lightly.
'After all the damage he only used a little?' Aerchon thought.
"Let's move on to the next place," Erend said.
He looked at the map from the cell phone that Billy was carrying. After knowing his next destination, he walked away from them and turned into a Dragon.
He stretched out his hand and Aurdis climbed onto his palm easily. Erend then took off from that place.
"So we just wait here until Erend finishes at the next place?" Billy asked.
"What are you saying? We still have to be careful if a monster comes to us," Adrien asked.
"You don't need to worry," Aerchon said. "After this, no monsters will appear in this place within a radius of several hundreds of kilometers. I don't know the exact number since it's not in our records. But you can rest assured that no more monsters will appear here."
Adrien and Billy exchanged glances with a sigh of relief after hearing Aerchon's words.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Erend flew at a higher speed than before because he wanted to reach the next place as soon as possible.
Aurdis who had been sitting in his palm could feel the pressure of anger from Erend, beating harder near her.
Erend's anger felt like a burning fire. Even though Erend tried to cover it up by acting calm, the anger still felt for an Elf like her who had high sensitivity. Especially now that he was in his Dragon form, his anger grew stronger to the point that it almost choked Aurdis.
Eventually, Aurdis can't help but feels afraid to be around Erend. She knows that Erend won't hurt her, however, Erend's anger is like a fire that always emits heat and chases away anything that close to him. The fear that Aurdis felt was more like instinct. Her survival instincts told her that she should flee.
But of course, Aurdis will never leave Erend.
With that speed, they can reach the next place, which is located in a different country, in a short time.
The country was not a country that was too far away. Its border is the mainland at the northern tip of Ascaria so it's relatively easy to visit.
Erend made an easy entry into the country undetected by radar or air patrols. The veil that Aurdis gave him was strong enough to dispel his presence from all that might observe him.
A few minutes after entering the country of Zephoria, Erend already saw the location they should visit next. Just like the previous place - and the other places after this - that spot is situated in a location that is far from residents making it easier for them.
Erend landed in a forest at the foot of a mountain. Then stare at a rickety old building that looks like a temple in front of it. Two large logs are standing at the entrance to the temple which may have been the gate at the front. But now the gate structure only leaves two brown wooden beams that look old and overgrown with vines.
"Let's go," Erend said as he started walking.
Aurdis could hear her tone of rush so she immediately walked quickly to follow him.
"This time, if you can, do it quickly. But I won't put pressure on you," Erend said. He smiled slightly but then immediately turned his face around. His eyes immediately scanned what places around this temple to look for any threats. Erend was sure that Svaros - or any one of his other friends wouldn't be finished with the attack earlier.
Still shrouded in her fear, Aurdis didn't say anything and immediately did what she had to do. She entered the temple and pressed her hand against the old and fragile wooden floor. She was trying to get her Magic flowing faster now because she wanted to get this over with quickly.
Surprisingly, no disturbance came to them during Aurdis' creation of that Magic circle. Instead of feeling relieved, Erend felt suspicious. He frowned, looking around more warily.
"It's done, Erend," Aurdis said.
"Hmm." Erend only answered with a short mutter.
Aurdis immediately summoned Saeldir via her telepathy. A few seconds later the Magic circle lit up and Saeldir appeared with Arty.
"Erend, are you alright?" Arty asked in a worried tone.
Erend turned to her, smiling. "You know I'm fine."
Arty breathed a sigh of relief. However, just like Aurdis, Saeldir also felt anger rising from Erend which made him silent and swallowed hard. Something must have happened in the previous Adaeram spot to make Erend like that.
After swallowed again, Saeldir said. "Let's place the stake."
Arty nodded. Saeldir took out the same crystal peg from his cloth bag and held it with Arty. Then they stuck it on the floor.
After a few minutes, a Magic shockwave spread around, neutralizing the effect of the madness caused by the Magic awakening in this area.
"It's done," Saeldir said. "We will wait here until you call us at another Adaeram."
"No," Erend said quickly. "You guys should head back to the dojo building again."
"It's alright now. After this stake is installed all the animals and humans who have turned into monsters in this place will not attack us," Saeldir said.
"I have a bad feeling. You guys better go back now," Erend said firmly. It doesn't sound like a request. Saeldir and Arty felt that too.
"Alright," said Saeldir.
So they returned to the former dojo building, following Erend's orders.
