I Received System to Become Dragonborn

What the Magic from that cursed tree did was horrible. Erend saw it with his own eyes right now.

When in the past the strongest Elves of their era combined forces to even create a new dimension to seal the tree, Erend felt that it was not exaggerated at all.

Steve's body looks so miserable. He looked like a person who had just ascended from the deepest pit of hell after enduring such severe torment.

Steve gritted his teeth. His hands clenched until they shook, showing how strong Steve was clenching his fists.

Then Steve started walking from the crater where he fell.

Every step he took shed pieces of his skin that burned and fall to the ground.

Steve has become a big threat to this world now. And Erend knows that the only person who stands to stop the disaster from coming true is only him.

But unfortunately, Erend himself didn't know what to do.

Does he just have to kill Steve like he's been doing all along to deal with the problem that happens in the past? Or is there another better solution?

'Tut, what should I do?'

In the end, Erend asked the only source he felt could answer his question.

[ "You just have to kill him. That way the evil Magic inside his body will disappear too." ]

'Are you sure? What if the evil Magic spreads instead?'

[ "That's not going to happen. Just trust me and kill him. That man is beyond help right now." ]

Erend looked at Steve who was walking closer to him. "Yeah, I can see that pretty clearly."

[ "You just have to kill him or destroy his body. Like you always do." ]

Erend snorted at Tut's words. He's only always focused on destroying his enemies so far.

Maybe it's a trait that comes with his Dragon powers. Or maybe it is his true nature that has been hidden all this time.

At this point, Erend doesn't know anymore.

Steve spread his arms out to the sides. Then creates a reddish flame in his palm.

The flames enlarged and turned into condensed spears of fire.

Steve then threw the two fire spears at Erend with all his strength.

*WUSSHH!*

*WUSSHH!*

The two flaming spears of condensed fire shot through the air toward Erend.

But not only that, but Steve also shot towards him leaving a trail of fire explosion behind his body.

It was as if he had just been propelled by a powerful rocket power.

Erend who was still activating the [All Fire-based Power] skill from earlier thickened the layer of water all over his body.

He then spurted water forward to meet the two fire spears Steve threw.

*CSSSS!!!*

The characteristic sizzling sound that occurs when a blazing fire meets the cold of water is heard. Then white mist followed after that. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Erend ran to the side to get a clear and unobstructed look at Steve. He saw him.

Steve was standing and staring ahead with a look of surprise.

Yes, Erend could still see the shocked look on Steve's face with his disfigured face condition.

Erend wasted no time and immediately shot toward Steve.

Above his palm was a ball of water that Erend had prepared. Once the distance was right, Erend threw the water ball toward Steve.

The ball of water grew fivefold so that it could easily cover Steve's entire body.

A sizzling sound was created as the water ball touched Steve's skin.

A moment later the ball of water immediately enveloped Steve's body and extinguished the fire in his body.

A white mist appeared and spread around. The water ball that Erend took out was fighting the hot fire from Steve's body.

Erend could see Steve open his mouth and a lot of bubbles came out. It created a scene as if Steve was drowning.

But soon Steve's eyes glanced at Erend again. His mouth which had opened in panic was now closed with gritted teeth.

A bigger power of fire came out of Steve's body and the power of the fire made Erend's ball of water evaporate very quickly.

In just a few seconds the ball of water that had covered Steve's body had almost completely evaporated.

Erend who saw that immediately lunged at Steve.

But Steve notices Erend's arrival and he draws more Magic energy from the cursed tree driven by his rage.

*ZWOOSSHHH!!!*

The Magic energy that Steve drew made the power of his fire stronger than before.

Before Erend could get close to him, Steve's fire came out and destroyed Erend's already thinning ball of water.

The fire knocked him back a few steps. Then Steve shot towards him with incredible speed.

By now Steve's fire was blackish red. The fire no longer looked like a normal fire.

It even looks like the fire that consists only of the cursed tree's Magic energy which formed into the power of fire.

Erend noticed the change. He created a thick layer of water over his body, adding protection for himself.

Because it turned out that the effect of the cursed tree's Magic energy was quite strong and manage to penetrate the power of [Dragon Scale] even though that skill had reached Level 5.

In the bli k of an eye, Steve was already arrived in front of Erend and immediately threw a punch.

Erend caught the punch with one hand and let out a jet of water from his other hand at Steve.

*WUUSHH!*

The jet of water immediately created white steam as soon as it touched Steve.

"ARGHHH!!!"

Steve let out a pained scream from inside his broken throat. It didn't sound like a human voice but rather an injured beast's voice.

But despite sounding in pain, Steve didn't look weak. Instead, he even more aggressively launched attacks.

Steve opened his mouth and spit fire at Erend's face.

Fortunately, Erend's face was covered by water so the fire didn't cause any damage to him.

Erend then kicked Steve in the stomach and threw him backward.

*DUAGHH!*

After that Erend created a water cage shaped like an orb like before to trap Steve.
