I Received System to Become Dragonborn

That night, an attack from the Elves came again. Erend who had gained a new power felt a feeling he had never felt before when entering the battlefield.

Excitement. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Never before had a soldier been so excited by the sound of that loud alarm. Because they all know that they can die at any moment out there.

Yet Erend felt calm and even he smiled subconsciously. What he felt about the battle ahead was like when he was about to go on a picnic.

"What happened to you?" Billy who saw Erend smiling asked while looking with a strange look.

"Huh?" Erend woke up and immediately acted normal. "What do you mean?"

"You just smiled, didn't you?"

"What do you mean? We're going to battle. How can I smile?" Erend replied.

After finishing preparing, Erend slung his weapon over his shoulder and then walked out of the room.

"Let's go," he said to Billy.

Billy was still staring at Erend with a confused look until he disappeared. But he had more important things to do now. Billy came out after finishing preparing.

They arrived outside and were greeted back by the usual sight. A battlefield filled with creatures that were previously just a fantasy.

Erend and Billy followed their comrades back into the trench.

"You can fight, right, Drake?" Lt. Boartusk asked Erend when they were already in the trenches.

"Yes, sir. Don't worry," Erend replied.

"Good. I can't expect less from you."

The portal up ahead opened a little wider than usual. All the soldiers there knew that was not a good sign. But Erend was ready to face it.

If there were new surprises from the Elves, he also had his own. But Erend couldn't show his new power to his comrades. That meant he had to be careful too.

"Something's coming!" A scream from a soldier came out. They all stared at the portals of the Elves. It turns out that they have a new surprise. From the portal that opened bigger and bigger emerged humanoid creatures with pale bodies and ugly faces.

Their body size seemed to reach three meters. They carry weapons in the form of clubs that can smack human bodies into pieces.

"Shit!" Lt. Boartusk cursed. "Kill those damn creatures before they get any closer!"

The soldiers started shooting. Hundreds of thousands of bullets were thrown at them but the new red Magic shield was harder to penetrate than before.

The giant creatures started running towards the soldiers. The horror they saw up ahead was simply unimaginable. Most of the new soldiers had even stopped shooting at the sight of them.

"KEEP SHOOTING!" shouted Lt. Boartusk.

But Lt. Boartusk's order was not heard by the frightened soldiers. He felt hopeless.

Erend knew the situation was unfavorable. The giants ran and threw the tank in front of them like a toy. The club they were carrying swung and crushed the tanks in an instant.

By that time Erend had already picked up the sniper rifle and started aiming. Moments earlier, he had used up the remaining 1 Skill Point for a new skill.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Eyes (Lv.1) ]

His pupils turned vertical and reddish. This skill allows Erend to see the weakest point on their Magic shield.

The grip on the rifle is steady. Erend shoots.

'BANG!'

'CRAT!'

One pale creature was hit in the middle of the forehead. No matter how big they are, if their brains are penetrated the creature will surely die. The pale giant fell backward onto several Elves behind it. Yet many still charged toward the soldiers.

"One down!" Erend said while cocking his rifle. All the comrades who were next to him looked at Erend in disbelief. Including Billy and Lt. Boartusk. But they didn't notice Erend's eyes had changed.

"We have to keep attacking!" Erend exclaimed without taking his eyes off his scope.

Lt. Boartusk ordered them to fire again. Erend aimed and fired again. Dropping one by one the pale giants ran towards them. What Erend did raise the fighting spirit of the other soldiers.

That night, the Elves withdrew after the ultimate weapon they thought could penetrate the defenses of the humans turned out to be defeated. Tonight's battle was over faster than ever. And the victory raised the morale of the soldiers. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

The news of a soldier who could kill the pale giants immediately spread. And the name of Erend Drake became more and more talked about.

"How did you do it?" Billy asked when they were back in the room.

"I'm just guessing," Erend replied. "After almost dying last night, I finally know the most vulnerable places on their Magic Shield."

"Really?" Billy asked while looking at Erend skeptically.

"Yeah," Erend answered lightly. "Don't worry about it. You should sleep while you can. Who knows the Elves will attack again later."

Erend turned his body the other way and pretended to sleep. Billy, who knew that their sleep was very precious, decided to sleep too.

She was standing on a very high balcony of the palace. Gazing to the west where the portal used to carry Elf warriors located.

The portal has now been temporarily abandoned as no soldiers will be departing anytime soon after their defeat.

Her long silver hair which was as soft as silk thread was blowing in the wind and covered her vision. But she didn't blink or brush away the strands of hair.

There was something the Elf girl was thinking about that she seemed to forget about the world around her. There is a strange power emerging on the human side.

The Elf girl felt the vibes all the way here. But it seems that she is the only one who can feel the vibration. Since childhood, the Elf girl has had a higher Magic talent than the other Elves. Although her strength is not in his fighting ability.

"Princess Aurdis, what are you doing here?" asked a female servant with a worried tone.

Aurdis didn't answer. The Servant walked over and realized that Aurdis was daydreaming as usual. The Servant also touched the shoulder of the Princess.

"Ah!" Aurdis winced. "Peniriel, since when did you come?"

Peniriel smiled gently. "You're daydreaming again. It's getting late. Let's go inside."

"Yes. You're right," said Aurdis. She glanced at the west with wide eyes. Then walk inside.

'That power... I want to know...'
