I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 64 Escape



Erend opened his eyes because he heard a commotion. He opened his eyes and began to sharpen his hearing which forced his brain to think quickly. After a moment, Erend's brow furrowed.

"Attack?!"

Erend immediately jumped out of bed and woke Billy and Lt. Boartusk.

"Nghh... what's going on out there?" Billy said tiredly as he rubbed his eyes.

"Is that an attack?" Lt. Boartusk asked.

They had previously been used to wars interfering with their sleep. But lately, that habit has begun to be replaced with slightly better sleep. And now their little comfort was disturbed by an attack.

"Isn't this palace protected by a magic shield? We don't have to worry," Billy said as he turned around and kept his eyes closed. As if to continue sleeping.

Erend thought so too. But the noise outside sounded a little different from before because Erend also heard voices from the Elves. It's the voice of distress.

So Erend opened the curtain of the window on the other side of the room leading to the front of the palace. As soon as he opened the curtains, Erend was greeted by a sight like never before.

The Elf warriors were already lined up with their weapons and full armor. They look ready for direct battle.

"Hey, look at this. This attack looks different than before," Erend said.

Lt. Boartusk immediately got up and walked towards Erend. Billy also finally woke up reluctantly.

"Hey, could it be that the Magic shield protecting the palace has been damaged?" Lt. Boartusk said.

"What do you mean, Lieutenant?" Billy asked.

"Don't you guys realize that there is some kind of transparent dome that always surrounds this palace?" Lt. Boartusk said. "Now the dome is gone."

"Is that true?" Billy still didn't understand.

"You're right, lieutenant." On the other hand, Erend had already noticed. "I don't know what happened but it's pretty bad."

"What happened?" Elis asked in a hoarse voice.

"Something bad," Erend said.

Lt. Boartusk gave a brief explanation that instantly made Aurdis' eyes widen and she finally came to her senses.

The four of them immediately left the room. But as soon as Erend opened the door, Aurdis was already standing in front of him. Behind her were also five Elves who were fully armored for battle.

"We're under attack," Aurdis said. "The Magic shield is broken. We have to get out of this palace, quick!"

"Yeah, we know that. But how did that happen?" Erend asked.

"Someone destroyed the Magic shield core from the inside," replied Aurdis.

"What?" Erend and the other three looked confused and shocked.

"No time to explain that! now we have to get out of here!" Aurdis said in a hurried tone.

"(Princess, we don't need to take them,)" one of the Elves behind her said.

Aurdis looked at him with stern eyes. "(We will take them with us!)"

The Elf seemed to tighten his jaw. But he didn't dare say anything to refute Aurdis.

Erend, Billy, Lt. Boartusk, and Elis didn't know what they were talking about because they were speaking Quenya.

"Come on, quickly!" Aurdis said.

The four of them immediately followed Aurdis.

'BOOM!'

From outside there was a loud thud that seemed to have come from a very hard blunt object hitting something equally hard.

"(Where is Saeldir?") Aurdis asked.

"(The Archmage is trying to repair the Magic shield, Princess,)" The Elf who had prevented Aurdis from bringing the four humans answered.

"(Isn't the core already destroyed? how will Saeldir fix it?)" Aurdis asked.

The Elf shook his head, "(I don't know, Princess.)"

Aurdis immediately realized her mistake for asking a warrior what the Archmage was going to do. For now, he didn't need to think about it just yet. Now Aurdis must prioritize the safety of the four humans and herself.

'BOOM!'

Suddenly the corridor they were passing through was broken into by something crashing from outside.

They all stopped and stared in shock. Dust from the debris of the destroyed walls began to fall. They could see what had actually hit the wall until it was destroyed.

The creature had a pale green body and was fully armored. From behind the helmet covering his head, a pair of angry-looking eyes were visible.

It turned out that not only one Ogre had come to attack here. From the hole in the wall came four other Ogres wearing the same armor.

They carried weapons such as swords, axes, and spears. Without saying anything, the Ogres ran with war cries towards them.

The Elves who were in charge of escorting Aurdis came forward to protect her.

"(Princess, stay back!)" After saying that, the Elf warrior joined his friends to fight the Ogres.

"Shit, what should we do?!" Billy looked panicked.

Elis was unable to say anything. She was too frantic in this situation. Why is there an attack all of a sudden? Shouldn't she be exploring this fantasy world peacefully?

"Follow me!" Aurdis said as she grabbed Elis' hand.

"Where are we going?" Elis asked.

"To a safe place," Aurdis said.

Aurdis led them into another corridor. But to their surprise, they found that even in the next corridor the Ogres had entered. There were five Ogres in front of them now.

"Fuck!" Billy cursed again as soon as he saw the Ogres had charged toward them.

Erend suddenly stepped forward.

"Stay behind me," Erend said.

"Oh, that's right. I forgot that we have you," Billy said then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? what will he do?" Elis looked confused.

Erend ran towards the five Ogres that charged towards them.

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

Erend's skin turned into a red and black hard scale. In addition, Erend also summoned the Slime.

"Slime!"

Slime immediately appeared next to him.

"Protect them!" Erend ordered.

["Okay." ] The slime replied inside Erend's head.

"HYAAAA!!!"

One of the Ogres swung the metal club at Erend.

'DANGG!'

But Erend was able to hold it with his bare hands. Then Erend retaliated by slamming his fist on the Ogre's helmet.

'BUAGH!'

Erend's punch threw the Ogre back.
