Chapter 5 No Choice

'If you have managed to have all the Skills in the Skill list, then you can get an exclusive Skill.' said Tut. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Erend is currently outside the bunker with a cup of hot coffee in his hand. He looked up at the moon and stars in the beautiful night sky. Erend took a sip of his coffee.

"Really? What skill is that?"

'Dragon Transformation.'

Erend gasped. "Whoa. Okay."

'Yeah. Pretty amazing. But you have to wait. Every time you level up, you can only get 1 Skill Point.'

"That's alright. Even now I feel strong enough."

'A strong enemy has yet to appear.'

Erend's cup stopped before touching his lips. "How do you know?"

'I just know.'

Erend stares at the place the portal usually appears. "A strong enemy is coming, huh? Well, thanks for the warning."

'Don't think about it. Anyway, the Daily Quests will appear soon.'

"Alright. I'll wait."

'I will go now.'

,m Tut's voice was not heard again after that. Erend, who was still in great shape, finished his coffee for a while outside the bunker.

After that, he went up and walked on. Elf corpses were strewn around him and began to emit an unpleasant smell. Erend didn't care and kept walking until he finally came upon one of the giant pale-skinned corpses.

"This thing is huge," Erend muttered.

He tried to lift the big club that the creature was holding. Erend can lift it easily even though the club looks like it weighs 30 Kilograms.

Suddenly the red portal opened. Eren jumped back in surprise and then prepared to swing the big club he was holding.

But no Elf troops appeared from there. All Erend saw was a pointy-eared girl staring from the energy hole. They both stare at each other. Erend was so mesmerized by her beauty that he couldn't think straight.

"What's your name?" asked the Elf girl.

After hearing his voice, Erend realized that he was talking to the enemy.

"I won't tell you," replied Eren coldly. The Elf girl looked disappointed.

"Tomorrow, the Unicorn Riders will come," said the Elf girl.

"What?" Erend frowned. "Get ready. When dusk comes, they will ride."

The portal was closed again. Erend froze in place.

"Unicorn Riders?"

Erend immediately imagined how the form of the Unicorn he had seen. A horned horse that has Magic power. And they were ridden by Elves? Erend immediately knew that it was something very dangerous.

He dropped the big club and then ran back towards the bunker.

"Twilight, huh. Again, the surprise came."

~~~

That night, Erend told everything he knew to Lt. Boartusk. Even though he had to take a hit in the head for waking the Lieutenant up. Erend could bear it easily.

"Are you crazy?" Ask Lt. Boartusk who was ready to hit Erend once again.

"I heard it, Lieutenant!" Erend said.

"From who?"

Erend knew that saying an Elf girl said that to him would sound very strange.

"I saw the Portal opened a little. Then, I saw they were starting to prepare," Erend replied. He didn't know whether the lie he had made so quickly would work or not.

"Then you said they would attack at dusk?" asked the lieutenant.

"Yes!" Erend nodded.

"You heard that from them too?"

"Uhhh..."

The Elves spoke a language they didn't understand. Then how would Erend say that he heard it all from an Elf girl who could speak their language?

"Whatever." Lt. Boartusk got up from his bed. "I'll ask for more supplies of explosives and ammunition."

"Yes, please, Lieutenant!"

The Lieutenant went to the communication room and Erend returned to his room.

He told Billy the same thing. Billy looked confused but he didn't ask much anymore. Because what is certain is that the enemy intends to attack again.

~~~

The next day arrived quickly. This time the soldiers were not too nervous about waiting for the attack because they already knew that the attack would come at dusk.

The expected supplies of explosives and ammunition have yet to arrive because the bureaucracy for these front-line fighters is always difficult. No one was surprised, just angry.

There were also a few tanks and machine guns left. Even then some are damaged and almost unusable. Especially after yesterday receiving the attacks of the giants.

But no matter what the circumstances, they must continue to fight. Because that is the only way to survive.

The soldiers were already waiting in the trenches with their rifles pointed forward waiting for their enemy. The sun went down slowly and finally dusk arrived.

The portals in front of them began to open one by one. And what came out of it were troops riding straight-horned horses.

"What the fuck..." Billy muttered with admiration mixed with horror.

"Yeah, shit." Erend wasn't too happy that his prediction was correct.

"FIRE!" shouted Lt. Boartusk.

Shots flew from the trench towards them.

The Unicorn-riding Elves raised their shining shields and blocked the bullets that were raining down on them. The unicorns were also impervious to bullets because they were also wearing metal armor that seemed to glow.

They started running towards the trench. Spear in one hand and shield in the other.

Several of the Unicorn Riders ran towards the tanks and charged at them. Their weapons could penetrate the tank's body easily.

At this rate, this defense will be broken. Erend didn't know why they had to wait five years before sending the Unicorn riders. If they sent them out early, they would have won the war sooner.

"My last ammo!" One of the soldiers shouted.

Around him, the soldiers had also run out of their ammunition.

"Shit! We're all going to die!" said Lt. Boartusk while throwing away his last magazine.

Erend had run out of ammo too.

"At this rate, there's no other choice," Erend muttered. Billy who was next to him heard that.

"Don't do anything stupid!" Billy said.

Erend turned to him. "How much ammo do you have?"

"Two."

"Give me everything."

"What would you do?" Billy asked.

"No time. Hurry!"

Erend grabbed Billy's last two magazines and put one of them into his rifle. After that Erend jumped from the trench.

"Erend!" cried Billy.

But Erend was already running towards the Unicorn riders.

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

One rider thrust his spear at Erend. But the spear hit Erend's scaled skin and he bounced off his Unicorn.

Erend jumped on top of him and pressed the tip of his rifle into the Elf's face.

"Hi."

'DRDRDRD....'

The rifle spewed several bullets simultaneously into the Elf's face and crushed it.

Erend stood up. Around him, the Unicorn-riding Elves already surrounding.

"Let's fucking go!"
