I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 214 His Ability

Steve immediately stood up to run away as fast as he could.

However, a Magic shield that suddenly appeared in front of Conrad caught his attention so he immediately stopped in place.

'What's that?'

Conrad's Magic shield immediately crushed the ice blades that Annie threw.

He could easily handle it as if the ice blades were just thin glass hitting a hard wall. Even though Steve knew that ice blades could kill people easily.

A moment later Steve's well-trained common sense returned. So he continued his run.

As he had expected, Annie was no longer chasing after him. It was all because her attention had now turned completely to Conrad.

After a while of running, Steve thought that he was far enough away from them.

From here, he turned his head back and stared at the fight.

'Finally, I can witness that man's power.'

Steve never knew how powerful Conrad's Magic really was. He was the first human who could use Magic because he was directly taught by an Elf.

So it's obvious that the man has great Magic power. This time, Steve finally had a chance to see that power.

Especially now that Conrad is going to use his ability to fight.

How was he going to subdue Annie without fighting? It was simply impossible to see how ferocious Annie was now.

That's what's happening now. Conrad knew that he had to put up a fight even though he didn't want to kill her.

Again, a dozen of ice blades shot toward Conrad. Annie was able to create those ice blades easily because there was a steady supply of rainwater to support her.

The bluish aura she had grew thicker and thicker.

Annie only fights because she is driven by the desire to kill. Thus she didn't need to think about controlling her overflowing Magic energy.

The Magic shield that Conrad created once again could block the ice blades.

"HAAAARRRGHH!"

After her ice blades strike, now it was Annie who rushed toward Conrad to attack directly.

She created two ice swords in each of her hands then attacked Conrad blindly without a clear pattern.

However, Conrad defended well. He parried each of Annie's ice blade swings with his hands clad in silver light.

Annie's attacks just bounced off like hitting another blade.

Conrad's face was serene. Even though he was constantly being battered and receiving attacks, Conrad didn't seem to be having a hard time.

"Hey, Annie! Listen to me!" Conrad shouted. "Control yourself. You know how, right? I've taught you!"

At that time, Annie's swinging ice blades suddenly stopped in midair.

Her body suddenly stiffened. It was as if time had stopped for her.

Her blue eyes flickered back to her original brown eyes. This time those brown eyes remained there for a little longer.

Conrad also realized the situation. So he waited expectantly.

"You there?" Conrad asked. "Stay focused! Look at that bright light. You see that?"

Thomas and the scientists waited expectantly. If this time Conrad failed, then they would only lose a valuable subject.

Because they were going to use that weapon to instantly incapacitate Annie.

Even if they had to lose a successful and very valuable subject, that was better than letting her go on a rampage.

Especially if she got away from this place. The problems they will face are immeasurably large.

"General, I think we should prepare for the worst," Thomas said through his camera.

Conrad's hopes were now gradually rising when he saw the change in Annie.

She seemed to have been able to see the 'bright light' he was talking about.

If Annie managed to reach that 'bright light' - in her subconscious mind - then Annie should be able to regain her senses back.

But suddenly those bright blue eyes were back again. Those eyes immediately fell on Conrad. The killing intent she had earlier returned to her.

"Hhhh..." Conrad took a deep breath. "Let's try again."

Even so, Conrad did not give up. Annie lunged at him again and attacked fiercely.

The swings of the ice blades got faster and faster. Even now the attacks are more varied.

Annie stomped her foot down and instantly froze the stagnant water.

The frozen water reached Conrad's feet in an instant and froze his feet.

Conrad couldn't move. Suddenly Annie spread her arms to the sides and did something both amazing and terrible at the same time.

She spread her cold aura around causing the pool of water to freeze.

After that, she formed hundreds of sharp ice spears and make them fly around her.

Annie looked at Conrad with a terrible grin. Her beast-like fighting instincts told her that now she would be the one who would win this battle.

All the scientists, crew, and Steve stared at what was happening in front of them.

They were looking at a scene that was so foreign to their eyes performed by a human.

The effect of the downpour had amplified Annie's strength to this extent.

But it's a pity. That great power made Annie lose her mind and only become a slave to the Magic power that was too strong.

At least that's what they thought. But there was someone there who didn't seem bothered by any of this.

Conrad did look impressed with what Annie could do. However, that wasn't enough to make him freeze like the other people here.

He had seen many miracles performed by an Elf who had picked him up. Even so, what Annie did was admirable for a human.

"That's why we can't lose her."

Conrad emitted silver light from his body. The ice from his feet that was about to freeze his body immediately shattered.

Conrad then walked towards Annie. Annie who saw it immediately sent all the ice blades she made toward him.

The hundreds of ice blades all moved towards Conrad.

Conrad just kept walking towards Annie. His body was now surrounded by silver light that looked like armor protecting his body.

*CRAANGGG!*

*CRAANGGG!*

The ice spears hit Conrad's body and immediately shattered when they touched the silver light that became his armor.
