I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 580: The Need

Erend and Eccar locked eyes with the colossal rock golem, its stony hide as tough as a fortress wall that reinforced with Magic power. They had faced it before and they knew this creature's strength and resilience all too well.

Each layer of its dense rock armor had to be shattered before they could even hope to pierce the core and finish it off. That will make this fight last pretty long if they use their current power.

Without a word, Erend and Eccar made a silent agreement to end this fight quickly. They let out a fierce roar and the air around them shifted, thickening with an intense surge of Magic energy and light.

[ Skill activated: Fire Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]

Their bodies contorted and expanded as they activated their Dragon Transformation, bones cracking and muscles rippling as they took on their full terrifying forms.

Erend became a huge black and red Fire Dragon, his scales burning with the hue of embers, a powerful fire blazing in his eyes. Flames flickered around his body, casting an ominous glow over the desert sands.

Beside him, Eccar transformed into a massive brown and black Earth Dragon, his form rugged and solid, with a feral, unbreakable strength exuding from every inch of his scaled body. Together, they stood almost eye-to-eye with the golem, their colossal size now a match for the rock giant's body.

The rock golem roared in challenge and the battle immediatel erupted into a whirlwind of pure destructive power.

Erend wasted no time. He immediately unleashing a torrent of fire straight at the golem. The fire licked at the rocky layers and superheating them until cracks began to spider across the surface.

The golem still looked undeterred, though. It swung one of its massive fists down aiming to crush Erend. But Erend dodged with surprising speed, flying to the sky and raining fire from above.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

…

Eccar seized the opening, his claws glowing with the earthen energy he controlled. With a powerful swipe, he slammed his massive claws into the golem's leg, chipping away chunks of stone with each blow.

As he tore through layer after layer of rock, the golem staggered, struggling to maintain its balance against the much stronger assault then before.

The golem attempted to fight back and swinging its fists wildly, but the Dragons were too swift and too coordinated. They attacked from opposite sides and wearing down the golem's defenses in quick pace.

Erend's fire blasted through its weakened layers, while Eccar's claws crushed the exposed stone beneath, both working in perfect harmony to dismantle the creature piece by piece.

Finally, with devastating strike Erend launched a concentrated beam of fire directly at the golem's body. The intense heat weakened the final barrier protecting its heart.

Eccar seeing his moment, and he immediately plunged his claws deep into the exposed core, crushing it with a single powerful blow.

The golem froze, its eyes dimming as the light within them faded. Then, with a thunderous crack, it crumbled, the once-imposing figure collapsing into a heap of rubble at their feet.

Erend and Eccar stood victorious in their Dragon forms. They shared a triumphant look.

They didn't shed their Dragon forms yet. They just towering over the rubble of the defeated rock golem with eyes scanning the horizon for signs of its return. Eccar shifted, stretching his massive wings with a low rumble of impatience.

"Will it spawn again so quickly?" he asked, his voice reverberating in a deep tone.

Erend tilted his massive head, considering the question. "It should. We're still here, and the Dungeon World responds to presence… or so I'm assuming." A wry grin flashed across his fanged snout.

Eccar gave a resigned grunt but settled in, his body coiled and ready.

"If it takes more than ten minutes, we move on," Erend assured him.

Minutes stretched by in tense silence as they waited, the desolate landscape around them filled only with the sound of the winds sweeping over the sands.

Just as Eccar seemed ready to give up and moving on, a deep rumble shook the ground. They both looked forward as from the sands ahead the familiar form of the rock golem began to take shape once more.

"There it is! What I told you!" Erend said.

A flicker of excitement crossed Eccar's fierce gaze. With no hesitation, he launched forward with claws extended and ready.

Erend followed behind him and immediately unleashing another inferno that blazed around them both as they met the golem head-on again.

The golem swung its massive arms as if this is its first time seeing them, but the two Dragons were relentless, their claws and flames tearing into its stony hide like before.

Meanwhile, in a shadowed dimension filled with a dense oppressive air, the figures in black molten armor had regrouped. The two men and one woman were now joined by three more of their kin, all bearing the same strange, living armor that seemed to pulse in rhythm with the dim light around them.

The group stood together in a circle, each face partially obscured by the eerie glow of their helms.

"The Dragon's power is unmistakable," the woman began, looking at her group. "Its presence was felt across dimensions and its impossible to replicate that."

One of the newcomers in thee group that have cold and calculating eyes, spoke up. "Then it has begun. We must move quick now to ensure this power does not fall beyond our grasp."

The others murmured in agreement, the weight of their mission clear in their voices. They all turned, casting a glance at the ancient stone plate. They need to prepare to depart on their dangerous mission.

The youngest of the group, his face still bearing a trace of uncertainty beneath his dark helm, broke the silence.

"Don't we need a more detailed plan?" he asked, his voice cautious. "Crossing into another dimension isn't exactly simple. And we need to consider the Dragonborn's decision."

One of the others, a man with a face weathered by battle and resolve, shook his head firmly. "There's no time to plan further. If we delay, our world won't last. The fractures in our realm are growing every day." His voice held a gravity that made the others fall silent.

It was clear their resolve was driven by something greater than power—desperation. Their eyes filled with purpose to stop their world's imminent collapse. They weren't seeking to capture the Dragonborn or force their will upon them. Such an attempt would be madness, and they knew it well.

Their goal was different, they intended to seek out the Dragonborn and ask for help. The young man glanced at his comrades, understanding the magnitude of their task.

Even with their strength, they were reaching out for a power far beyond their own, hoping the Dragonborn would see their plight and choose to aid them.

This wasn't a mission of conquest or domination. It was a plea for survival to the level that that need to cross the boundaries of dimensions and relied on the mercy of beings who wielded the forces of creation itself. And they need to began their journey soon.
