Chapter 25 Dragon Transformation
Erend took a weapon. He immediately deactivated [Dragon Claw] while still activating [Dragon Scale] because he didn't want to fight without the protection of those hard scales.
An Ogre approached from behind Aerchon. The Elf wasn't aware because he was still busy fighting three Ogres at once in front of him.
Erend ran and threw the club he just picked up among the Ogre corpses. The club hit the Ogre in the head, knocking him down.
Aerchon who heard the voice turned and saw the Ogre fall. But he didn't have time to pay attention to the Ogre. In front of him, two Ogres swung a mace and a club at the same time. Both weapons were covered in a thick green liquid. Aerchon knows what liquid it is. It was the Ogre's poison that could weaken his Magic power. Because of that, Aerchon had to pay close attention so that the weapons wouldn't hit him.
Erend who was getting closer to Aerchon looked at Aurdis. She and Delirien were still in the same place. But none of the Ogres were after them. Erend felt a little relieved in his heart. At least for now he didn't have to worry too much about Aurdis and Delirien and could focus on slaughtering these ugly fat green creatures.
Erend picked up a sword left by a dead Ogre with his left hand. Meanwhile, in his right hand, Erend was holding a serrated sword that looked like it was made from scrap.
Suddenly another group of Ogres appeared from the west. There were five of them and all of them immediately ran as soon as they found the bodies of their comrades scattered.
"GWUAAA!!!" The Ogres charged toward Erend and Aerchon.
"Fuck!" Erend cursed. He took a stance ready to fight.
The Ogres were not only able to carry melee weapons. One of the five Ogres that rushed in was carrying a very long bow. The ogre drew its bowstring with a jagged arrow covered in green liquid which aimed at Erend.
'THWING!'
'SYUUT!'
The ogre didn't waste time, he shot straight at Erend as soon as he got a good shot.
The arrow shot towards Erend. Aurdis stared with wide eyes and a frightened face. But what happened next was, that the arrow just bounced off Erend's skin which was covered in a reddish black scale.
The Ogres who saw it were shocked. Their eyes which were green like rotten fruit widened.
Erend smirked. "An attack like this can't penetrate me, you green fat fucker! HYAAAA!!!"
Erend lunged at the still transfixed Ogres. His bloodlust returned. In their mind, the Ogres felt that they were seeing an ancient terror that they had not experienced in a very long time. Dragons.
The creature was now heading towards them with its bloodthirsty eyes and reddish black scale.
The Ogres were stiff with fear and could barely resist. They all tried to swing their respective weapons but in the end, the resistance was meaningless. Erend was able to kill all of the Ogres. Now his appearance was almost the same as when he was fighting the Goblins. Full of blood and body parts.
Aerchon had already finished off his enemy. But the Elf prince's body still looks clean. It was because he had used a ward that could protect him from enemy blood. Aerchon looked at Erend with a look of disdain.
"How did you come?" Aaron asked.
Erend looked at him and deactivated [Dragon Scale].
"Your sister calls me," Erend replied while tilting his head towards Aurdis.
Aerchon cast a glance at Aurdis. His gaze seemed to say that he would have a serious talk later.
But Delirien and Aurdis' eyes suddenly widened as they stared behind Erend.
"BOWELFANG!" Aurdis exclaimed. "EREND!"
Erend immediately turned around. But he wasn't fast enough to dodge the sweep of the arm which then threw him into the woods. Erend only stopped after he hit three large trees.
"Arghhh..." Erend winced as his back hurt.
[ HP: 8/10 ]
"Goddamnit!" Erend cursed as he stood up with difficulty. He ran back to where he was. Erend could finally see clearly what exactly had thrown him.
Something called BOWELFANG--based on the last words Erend heard from Aurdis' screams--was a creature with pale green skin but with a height almost reaching a two-story house.
One of the most strange, terrifying, and disturbing features was that it had a mouth in its stomach. The mouth filled its distended stomach and was never closed. From the mouth, greenish mucus was dripping down.
When the mucus hits something, there is smoke that seems to indicate that the mucus is corrosive.
Erend swallowed his saliva. Even though he had always been filled with bloodthirsty desires before, when he saw such a monstrosity, Erend couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.
But then Erend looked at Aurdis who looked desperate. The Elf girl even shed tears without crying. As if to indicate how desperate she was.
Aerchon also didn't seem capable of overcoming the giant. It looked very difficult to overcome the sweep of the arms whose length did not match the proportions of the giant's body.
"Looks like it's a good time to turn into a Dragon." Between those feelings of fear and anxiety, Erend found a strange feeling of excitement.
Erend smirked and prepared to use the Skill.
[ "Careful." ]
Suddenly Tut's voice came to warn him.
"What do you mean?"
[ "The changes you're about to make for the first time don't usually go smoothly." ]
Erend sighed. "What could happen?"
[ "You will lose control and go on a rampage." ]
"But I have no choice now!" Erend stared at the giant as tall as a two-story house.
[ "I'm just giving you a warning. Not that I forbid you. Remember to control yourself later." ]
Erend nodded firmly. "Sure. I'll try."
After that Tut's voice was no longer heard. Erend took a deep breath and then let it out.
"Let's go!"
[ Skill activated: Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]
A reddish light mixed with a dark aura began to surround Erend's entire body. The light soared into the sky creating a bizarre scene in the night sky.
"GRRRUUUUUUAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
The screams of a beast that were never heard before echoed in the late night. The trees bowed in submission to his voice. Ogres and Elves turned a deaf ear to even falling to their knees.
When the light disappears, a giant creature was seen standing tall. The creature spread its wings and began to fly. His red eyes stared at Bowelfang and determined it as prey.
