Chapter 27 Feelings

Aurdis waited with a pounding heart. The late night was still not silent even when the morning was almost here.

Finally, the Elves came from the forest carrying the unconscious Erend. His entire body was covered in blood as usual when he had finished fighting. But there was one thing that made Aurdis' eyes widen with surprise and anxiety.

On Erend's shoulder, there is a quite worrying wound. The wound looks like a bite wound.

"Bring him inside!" Aurdis ordered the two Elves who were carrying Erend's body.

They took him inside and put Erend in a reclining position on a bed. Erend's face looked even paler and partially covered in blood.

Aurdis then ordered the Elves to catch up with Aerchon and help him. Meanwhile, Aurdis was in this room alone with Erend.

"What happened to you?" Aurdis mumbled while stretching her arms towards Erend. Aurdis felt that there was no time to clean the blood and dirt on Erend's body now because Aurdis felt that he was suffering from severe injuries.

The bite marks on Erend's shoulder indicate that he may have been bitten by the Bowelfang he fought. In that case, this is a pretty serious wound.

Green and white light started to come out from Aurdis' hand and enveloped Erend's body. That light is Aurdis' Magic ability to heal wounds and poisons.

At this rate, it looks like it will take quite a while to heal Erend. Wounds inflicted by the Ogre race always had a debilitating or lethal poison effect.

Moreover, a wound that could penetrate Erend's scale. Aurdis' mind drifted to when Erend turned into a Dragon earlier.

She knew that the Dragon was Erend even though she didn't see Erend transform into that legendary creature directly. She could feel it.

Aurdis looked at Erend's pale face. The blood on his face had started to dry up.

She bit her lip as her heart felt a strange feeling. There was a feeling of dread when Aurdis saw Erend slaughtering the Ogres ruthlessly like a monster. But on the other hand, Aurdis feels that Erend does not have a bad side to him.

Aurdis always had the right inkling of one's heart. But right now her feelings were split in two for Erend. Should he be afraid or grateful?

In addition to his personality that she still doesn't understand, Aurdis also feels that the Dragon's power he has is very mysterious.

Something that had perished several hundred thousand years ago had suddenly appeared before him. What Aurdis felt when he saw the Dragon appear towering above the trees was awe, fear, and excitement.

Dragons are creatures that are said to be the creators of their Realm. The power they have is something they can't comprehend.

Aurdis always finds time to read about Dragons when she has free time. But her mentor always said that Dragon had become a fairy tale. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om

Aurdis couldn't imagine the look on her mentor's face when he heard that Dragon was no longer just a fairy tale and she had just seen it.

"ACK-"

Suddenly Erend's hand moved to grip Aurdis' neck. Erend's eyes bulged at Aurdis with the same look that Aurdis saw when he was slaughtering the Ogres.

Aurdis clawed at Erend's hand around her neck. Her neck was sore now and she was about to run out of breath.

Aurdis' hand that was holding Erend's hand around her neck fell limply. That's when Erend suddenly realized and immediately let go of his hand. Aurdis fell to the floor and gasped for breath.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Erend looks very sorry.

Aurdis didn't answer because she still gasped hard for air.

Erend grimaced at the purplish bruise on Aurdis' neck. 'Shit, I almost killed him.'

"I lost control," Erend said apologetically.

Erend thought he would lose control while still in the form of a Dragon. It turned out that when he became a human, that influence was still there.

Aurdis was of course shocked when Erend suddenly strangled her. But she felt that Erend seemed to be out of control.

"What do you feel?" Aurdis asked, still clutching her sore neck. That healing light began to appear on her neck.

"I... have to take a shower," Erend said while looking all over his body.

"What about your shoulder?"

Erend turned to glance at his shoulder. "It's hurt a little. But I'll be fine. It must be because of that green skinny giant." 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Aurdis then shows a place where Erend can wash. A few minutes later Erend was out with a fresher and fragrant body. Although the wound on his shoulder still felt quite disturbing.

"How is everything?" Erend asked as he sat back down on the bed. When he no longer heard the noise outside, Erend was sure that the situation had become calmer and safer than before. He remembered when the green creature had died in his hands.

Erend even remembers eating the creature's head from the point of view of his Dragon form. When he thought about it, Erend felt his stomach churning and he grimaced as if he was sick. Erend couldn't believe that he had just eaten the green creature's head.

When he turned into Dragon form, part of him was conscious but the other part was controlled by something else. Erend seemed to let himself walk along with the will of other beings.

"Are you okay?" Aurdis asked.

As if waking from a dream, Erend looked at him.

"A-ah, what did you say earlier?" Busy in his thoughts, Erend couldn't hear Aurdis' answer to his question.

"I said, the situation outside is better. The Ogres have been killed, and the surviving ogres have fled," said Aurdis.

Erend nodded his head. "That's good. Then, I have to go now."

"Why don't you just rest here for now?" Aurdis looked at Erend with a worried look.

"I can rest in my own room. Besides, aren't you guys still busy?"

Aurdis pursed her lips. Aftewhilehole, Aurdis finally opened the Portal right inside this room.

"Thank you for coming here," said Aurdis before Erend stepped into the Portal.

"No need to thank me. I don't know why I bothered to run here when you asked for help," Erend replied.

Aurdis smiled. "Even so, you came anyway. So I'm grateful for that."

Erend didn't say anything and entered the Portal.
