I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Grim grinned secretly behind the crowd of town residents.

His eyes stared at the newly arrived Adventurer party like a predator that had found its prey.

Which is, actually true for the current situation.

The party walked deeper and deeper into the town. The entourage of people still followed them like loyal worshipers who could feel the excitement just by looking at the party members.

Goldid seemed to really enjoy the attention being paid to him.

The dark-skinned man never stopped showing off his big smile. He didn't stop waving either.

Among his party mates, Goldid was the slowest walking because he wanted to take longer to receive the cheers and the praise of the people toward himself.

While his other friends walked faster as if they wanted to leave him alone.

When the party was deep into the town, people started to return to their activities.

Because they couldn't possibly join the party all day long.

The townspeople who had shops in the street near the gate returned to their shops.

Even so, they still talked about how strong Goldid and his party were.

Grim walked back towards the gate after buying some food so as not to look suspicious.

He didn't expect that he would find the killer so soon.

"Hey, you finished quickly?" the guard who had asked him when he entered asked again when he came out.

"Yes. I've got the food," Grim answered while holding up the bag containing the human food he bought earlier.

"You don't need to rush. Why not bring your party into town to keep you guys safe? With Sir Goldid's party coming this town is the safest place around."

"No need," Grim replied. "We must leave immediately."

The guard nodded his head. "Oh, alright. Take care of yourselves."

Grim nodded and walked away.

He smirked because he thought it was a funny situation.

The guard prayed for his safety, not knowing that his life would soon be gone.

Maybe it's even Grim himself who killed them.

Grim didn't look back and just kept walking. A few minutes later he was back in the forest.

"(How is it?)" Sigewulf immediately asked before Grim even got near him.

After walking a few more steps, Grim was now in front of Sigewulf.

"(I found them,") Grim said.

Hearing that, Sigewulf immediately stood up and growled.

He bared his teeth. His fangs glistened in the sunlight.

"(Finally,") Sigewulf said with a growl. "(Let's get ready.)"

Erend opened his eyes. It was still dark but Erend was used to getting up at this time.

His head hurt a little because he was still lack of good sleep.

Erend also realized that his headache was also due to the effects of the ale he drank last night.

Even so, he couldn't sleep any longer now. Erend sat up on his bed.

He sighed as he stared ahead with blank eyes. He was thinking about the events he had last night in the Elf castle.

Erend stared at his palm. The softness of Aurdis's chest seemed to still be felt there.

Regret piled up in his chest made Erend grit his teeth and clenched his fists. But then he released his fist.

"Well, what can I do? Except for wait..."

Erend tried to put aside his feelings of regret and stood up from the bed.

Maybe by washing his face with cold water, his mind could also cool down and forget about Aurdis. At least for a few moments.

After washing his face, Erend immediately did exercise.

He didn't usually do this because he knew that his body was too strong for mere exercise.

But then again, he did this to take his mind off Aurdis.

Erend started doing pushups. His big and tall body did not make it difficult. Because even his hands consist of the muscles of a Dragonborn.

'I need to know where they are hiding the humans who can use Magic.'

While continuing to do push-ups at a fast tempo, Erend thought about what he should do next.

'But, how do I do that? Or should I wait for Aurdis to come here first and use her Magic to access General Lennard's computer?'

That's a great idea. Because Erend's power is only useful for fighting. Not for sneaking or doing anything secretly.

His plan to teach Magic to Cpt. Boartusk and Billy seem like a bad idea.

Coupled with the rules that prohibit Elves from teaching their Magic to other creatures.

Erend didn't want to make things difficult for Aurdis.

'The only way is for me to get stronger to protect them.'

If he managed to defeat that Calamity, then the world order would return to normal. And everything will be fine.

A few minutes passed and now it was time for Erend to take a shower.

After he took a shower, Erend waited for Billy in front of the terrace of his house.

It's not going to be a great day. Erend already knew that.

He will undergo a briefing on military operations training tomorrow, or maybe he will get words of ridicule from the soldiers who know how he and Billy underwent yesterday's training.

However, Erend could not fight back against them. Or else he would create a huge commotion by killing a soldier.

Billy came shortly after. Arty is also ready to go to school.

Then they set off together like before.

The Lycans moved towards the town.

Their footsteps billowed dust and created a vibration on earth because of their number.

There are fifty Lycans in the pack. And all of them have the same goal which is to take revenge.

"Wh-what is that?"

The guard at the front gate immediately woke up from his slumber and stared with widened eyes full of horror.

His friend also stood up and stared with the same expression.

"It's wolves," the other guard replied.

"H-Hurry inside! We have to tell Sir Goldid and his party!"

The two guards immediately ran inside. Knowing that Doom was approaching their town gate.

The only hope for this town is Goldid and his party.
