I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 547: Will Handle It Alone

Aurdis turned away from the window, her face pale with worry. She sprinted across the chamber and reached Aerchon and Saeldir who were still focusing their energies on maintaining the protective dome. The two Elves looked up, sensing her distress before she even spoke.

"Aerchon, Saeldir!" Aurdis said with trembled voice but she steadied herself, forcing calm into her words. "Something bad might be happening right now. The energy from the battle… it's the same as when Erend fought uncle Laston. It's tearing open a connection to the Chaos Realm again!"

Aerchon's eyes widened and Saeldir's expression became grave. They exchanged a fearful glance. Both remembered vividly the last time the veil between the realms had thinned, threatening to merge the Chaos Realm with Erend's world. That battle had nearly cost them everything.

Aerchon clenched his fists, the weight of the realization sinking in.

"If the Chaos Realm's energy is merging with the power of the Great Calamity…" he trailed off as the horrifying implications took shape in his mind. "We could be dealing with a catastrophe far beyond our capability."

"If the two energies combined, Chaos and the Great Calamity, it could create a rift so powerful, it might not just threaten this world. It could destabilize everything." Saeldir said with darkened face.

His grip tightened and the orb flickered with an anxious pulse as if sensing his their distress.

Aurdis's heart sank at their words, and her eyes darted back to the swirling vortex above and the battle that took place under it. The black lightning continued to crackle and the storm's intensity showed that its getting worse.

"We have to stop it. If we let this go on-"

"But how?" Aerchon interrupted. "We can't just stop their fight. They need to defeat the Harbingers, or they'll bring more immediate harm to our world."

Saeldir nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the orb as he channeled his power to keep it stable.

"If we interfere now, we might doom everything sooner," Saeldir said, then he paused, a flicker of doubt crossing his face. "But if we do nothing, the rift could tear reality apart."

Aurdis felt the pressure closing in on her. They were caught between two impossible choices.

"We need to find a way to disrupt the energy flow without weakening Erend and Eccar's fight," she said. "Maybe if we can redirect or absorb some of the power—"

Aerchon shook his head. "Absorbing it would be too dangerous. The Chaos energy is too unstable."

"But if we could redirect it..." Saeldir said thoughtfully. "If we create a conduit that can siphon the energy away from the vortex, maybe we can lessen its impact. But it would be a risky maneuver."

"Risky or not, we have no choice," Aurdis insisted. "We need to act before it's too late!"

Unforrtunately, what Aurdis just said was true.

Aerchon sighed, then nodded his head. He said, "I'll prepare the spell. Saeldir, Aurdis, we'll need to work together and channel everything we have."

Aurdis, and Saeldir nodded stood in a tight circle, their expressions grave as they whispered urgently.

"Alright. We need to create something to absorb the chaotic Magic spilling from the battle," Aerchon said. "If we don't, it'll keep feeding the vortex and make the chaos stronger."

"But we can't just leave the dome unguarded," Saeldir added, casting a glance at the orb between them. "If the barrier falls, we'll be defenseless against the Magic that spilled to our palace."

Aurdis's mind raced as she looked between her brother and Saeldir. They were right. Maintaining the protective dome was essential but without addressing the source of the chaos it would only delay the inevitable. She knew they needed another source of power, and fast.

"I'll call father," she decided. "He has the strength and knowledge to help us create a vessel to absorb the energy."

Aerchon and Saeldir nodded, relief mingled with the urgency in their faces. Aurdis didn't waste another second. She reached for the door and sprint through the corridor.

A few tense moments passed as they continued to maintain the orb. Then, the door opened and King Gulben stepped inside. His eyes immediately took in the scene, and his brow furrowed in concern.

"What's happening?" he asked.

"Father, we need your help," Aurdis said in urgent voice. "The battle is releasing chaotic Magic and it's feeding the vortex. It might be able to open another rift to the Chaos Realm like before. We need to create a vessel to absorb it but we can't leave the dome unprotected."

King Gulben's eyes darkened as he heasr the explanation from Aurdis. He looked at Aerchon and Saeldir who nodded in silent confirmation.

"I understand. This is dangerous, but it must be done," said the king. Creating something that could contain that much chaotic energy is indeed dangerous.

Aurdis quickly explained their plan, outlining the spell they needed to cast. The king listened intently, his face hardening.

"We'll have to combine our Magic," she said. "It will take all our strength to create a vessel strong enough to contain the chaos."

Then, King Gulben said with resolute expression. "You don't need to do it. I alone will handle this."

Aurdis, Aerchon, and Saeldir all stared at him, a mix of concern and disbelief etched across their faces. Aurdis opened her mouth to protest but the determination in her father's eyes stopped her. His gaze was unwavering the strength of a leader who had faced countless threats before.

"I will create the vessel to hold the chaotic Magic," he continued. "And I promise it will not endanger my life. I still have a duty to lead and protect our people."

Before anyone could reply, King Gulben turned and strode toward the exit. His shoulders were squared. He had already made up his mind.

Aurdis took a step forward and ready to follow him, but Aerchon gently placed a hand on her arm, stopping her.

"Aurdis, we need to trust him," he said softly. "Our father is wise. If he says he can do this alone, then we must believe him."

Aurdis hesitated, her eyes locked on the doorway where her father had disappeared. She felt the weight of her worry, but she knew Aerchon was right.

"You're right. I believe him," she finally whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of hope and resolve.

With that, they remained where they were, their focus shifting back to the protective dome as they continued to uphold their duty, trusting everything to their King.
