I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 12 Suspicious Recording

When night came, Erend came out of the room. Billy and Lt. Boartusk were fast asleep after yet again eating the delicious dish that was served at dinner.

So far it's still not clear what Aerchon wants to say to them and that makes the three of them anxious. Because the more time they spend here, they don't know what will happen in their world.

This was very strange and made the three of them wonder. But they can only wait.

Erend didn't say about what he heard from Aurdis because he still wasn't sure about the truth. Moreover, Aurdis said that humans were the ones who started it all.

He walked through the corridor next to the garden that was lit only by the moonlight. The moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the pillars and hit the walls.

Whether it was true or just a feeling, Erend felt that the moonlight in this world was brighter than in his original world.

At the end of this corridor stood the figure of Aurdis waiting with a body clad in a white cloak. Aurdis turned her head when she realized Erend's presence.

"Where are we going?" asked Erend.

"Keep your voice down!" Aurdis hissed.

"Follow me. And I'm begging you, keep your voice down! We shouldn't be up so late at night."

Erend chose to cooperate and began to speak softly.

"Is this some kind of violation?" asked Erend.

Aurdis nodded. "Just having me here is a violation. This afternoon, my brother scolded me after lunch."

"Your brother? Aerchon?"

"Yes, him."

Erend just realized that their faces are indeed a bit similar.

The two of them finally arrived at another building separate from the main building. This building is box-shaped and small in size. To Erend this looks like a warehouse.

Aurdis led him inside and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling instantly lit up.

Aurdis took off her cloak. It turned out that beneath the thick white cloak, she was wearing a short, loose nightgown. Also white.

Erend reflexively looked at Aurdis while she was hanging her cloak.

"This place is safe enough to speak again." Aurdis was already speaking normally.

Aurdis then noticed Erend's gaze. Instead of feeling embarrassed and covering herself, Aurdis smiled mischievously.

"What are you looking at?" Aurdis asked in a playful tone.

Erend woke up and immediately turned his face away.

"Just show me what you want to show," said Erend.

Aurdis wanted to tease him a little longer, but she couldn't waste time at this point.

'Maybe next time,' thought Aurdis.

Aurdis took a clear glass ball from one of the shelves and placed it on a placemat on the table.

"Look at this," said Aurdis. It didn't take long for the clear crystal ball to light up and emit light like the video projector Erend was used to seeing in his world.

A scene was revealed. A man crept into a room. His movements look like a thief's.

The man walked quickly as if he already knew where he was going. Moments later he stopped in front of a glass door of a glass cabinet.

Inside the glass door was a key that let out a faint light that shone on the man's face.

The man drank something before opening the glass door and took the key easily.

"He's human, isn't he?" asked Aurdis.

"He looks like a human," Erend replied. "But you could have created this image with your Magic, right?"

Aurdis took a deep breath. "You still don't believe it?"

"I still have to consider everything. This could be right and this could be wrong," Erend replied. "I have to tell Billy and the lieutenant."

Aurdis pursed her lips hearing that. "Are you sure they can be trusted?"

"They fought with me for five years. We are like brothers," said Erend.

"If it's for the best. Then you can do it."

Erend stared at the screen which had now stopped playing. Erend thought, how did all that happen?

"How can a human enter into the Elf's realm? That is very strange. The evidence you have shown is not convincing," said Erend.

"At that time-"

Before Aurdis had time to finish her sentence, the door to the room was knocked down from outside.

Aerchon stood with eyes staring at the two of them with anger.

"Brother-"

Again, Aurdis' words had to be cut off by Aerchon who suddenly grabbed Erend's neck.

'Shit, he's fast!' Erend didn't even notice his movements. Suddenly Aerchon's hand was on his neck and gripped tightly.

Aerchon threw Erend out until he rolled to the ground. Then he shot towards Erend with incredible speed.

But Erend still had time to react.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.1) ]

Aerchon's punch hit a hard surface on Erend's face. Then Erend gives Aerchon an uppercut until he throws him away.

[ Urgent Quest: Defeat Elf Aerchon. ]

[ Reward: 50 Exp. ]

Erend smirked. "What a coincidence. I really wanted to beat him."

Erend runs towards the fallen Aerchon then jumps then descends while slamming his fist on his face.

'BUAGH!'

Aerchon spreads his palms then a burst of lightning hits Erend and throws him away again.

After Erend was far away, Aerchon got up.

"He must be dead. Heh! he deserves it!"

Aerchon inadvertently gave off a Magic force that was greater than he wanted. He was quite surprised to see Erend able to return his punch.

The human punch turned out to be quite painful. But Aerchon was able to retaliate.

With that much power, he would be dead. Aerchon thought.

As Aerchon turned and was about to return to Aurdis, he heard something approaching.

Erend darted towards him and grabbed him by the neck causing him to fall to the ground.

Erend was already on top of Aerchon, clutching his neck.

[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]

A burst of fire shot out from Erend's mouth towards Aerchon's face.

"AAARRRGGHHH!!!"

Aerchon shouted as his face began to be covered in flames. Erend, who was already very angry, kept spitting fire from his mouth.

Aurdis ran over with a frightened expression.

"Stop it!" Aurdis tried to pull Erend but Erend was unshakable. Aurdis' eyes widened at the change in Erend's skin. His skin had already become scaly and reddish black.

"Let go! Please!" Aurdis shouted.

Erend finally came to his senses and jumped away. Aerchon lay with a scorched face but not as bad as imagined.

Aerchon's skull bones were visible and his upper clothes were charred. But he is still alive.

Erend deactivated his skill.

"You know who attacked first," said Erend who was already prepared to defend himself.

This commotion immediately provoked all residents. The Elves came out as did Billy and Lt. Boartusk.

"What the hell..." Billy gaped at a sight of an Elf with a burning face on the ground.

"Drake! What is going on?!" asked Lt. Boartusk.

Erend sighed. This would be quite a hassle to explain.

In the midst of all that, Erend got a notification.
