I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Aurdis stopped in the middle of her movement. Two security officers dropped in front of her with a loud thud simultaneously.

She, who was fighting some security officers suddenly heard a telepathic message from Saeldir.

'Saeldir? What happened?!' Aurdis asked Saeldir worriedly via telepathy as well. But she did not receive a reply from him.

'Saeldir!'

Still, no answer came. Aurdis felt her heartbeat quicken and was filled with worry instantly

Something had happened to Saeldir. Something that made him in a difficult situation like right now.

Luckily, Billy and Adrien had taken care of any security guards that got in their way.

The two of them immediately noticed Aurdis who was putting on a worried face.

"What's wrong?" Adrien asked. Seeing the look on Aurdis' face, he knew that she had just received news about something bad happening.

"Saeldir... he asked for help. And now I can no longer contact him," Aurdis answered.

"Then you should go there," Billy replied.

"But what about you?" Aurdis asked worriedly. Remembering how they fought all the security officers, Aurdis couldn't help but feel worried for their safety.

"We can manage. We can still use that invisibility Magic too, right?"

"But you know that's not going to work when you encounter more enemies," Aurdis said.

"Yes, but even then we can still handle that," Adrien said. "But for the matter that happened to Saeldir, we can't do anything to help. He's fighting the man who stole your Magic, right?"

What Adrien said made a lot of sense. They won't be able to help even if they come with her. But Aurdis still felt anxious when she left them.

"Don't waste your time and quickly go to Saeldir. Trust us. We will be fine," Billy said.

Realizing that Saeldir might not have much time left, Aurdis decided to go see him.

"Alright. Be careful," Aurdis said.

Adrien and Billy nodded simultaneously. Their firm gazes seemed to tell Aurdis that they would indeed be fine without her.

And Aurdis chose to believe in that. She turned and exited the room, activated her Invisibility Magic, and dashed toward Saeldir's direction.

"Looks like we have to fight with our own power now," Adrien said. "Let's go!"

Billy didn't even say his objection. Even though he knew that they would have a harder time facing any enemies that got in their way, Billy didn't say anything and just keep a strong face.

"Let's go, Captain," Billy said.

The two of them put back on the white coat that made them invisible and then went to the next room.

Aurdis ran down the broken corridor. It must be the result of Saeldir and Conrad's fight or maybe even Erend and his enemy's fight.

Aurdis is still invisible. She felt that maintaining the invisibility Magic was starting to get harder. But for now, she had no other choice but to use it to minimize the risk.

The alarm continues to sound loud. Echoing through broken and cracked walls. The loud sound made Aurdis feel even more anxious.

'I hope he's all right.'

What she heard from Saeldir earlier was a call saying that he was in grave danger. Aurdis had never heard of Saeldir asking for help like that.

He was an Archmage. Even among the Elves, Saeldir was among the Elves who mastered the power and knowledge of Magic very well.

Aurdis found it hard to believe that something could cause Saeldir such pain. But what she heard just now couldn't be wrong. Saeldir is indeed asking for help.

Aurdis felt her worries increase when she felt that Saeldir's Magic energy was getting weaker. So she sped up her running pace.

After passing through a panicked army of security officers and scientists, and then through several holes in the wall, Aurdis finally made it to Saeldir's location.

When she got there, Aurdis saw Conrad leaning against the wall with a tired look on his face. Saeldir lay down next to him not moving an inch.

'Did he beat Saeldir?'

If that was true, it meant there was no chance for Aurdis to fight him.

But Conrad looked weak now, did that mean she could sneak attack him?

While Aurdis was thinking about that, Conrad suddenly spoke.

"I knew you were here," Conrad said. Even though his voice sounded tired, there was still an emphasis that said he knew Aurdis' presence. And that made her flinch.

"What are you going to do? You want to kill me now?" Conrad asked.

At this point, Aurdis felt that there was no point in hiding behind invisibility Magic anymore.

It was clear that Conrad was aware of her being here.

So Aurdis released her invisibility Magic and allowed herself to appear in front of Conrad.

Conrad looked up and turned to look at her. His tired eyes met Aurdis's eyes.

"You're the one who beat him?" Aurdis asked.

Conrad smiled a weak smile. "Not me, it's her."

Aurdis' eyes widened upon hearing Conrad's answer.

"No way," Aurdis said in a voice trembling with disbelief.

Conrad snorted. "It's up to you if you don't believe me. You think I can beat him with my own power?"

Conrad asked a rhetorical question. Which Aurdis already know the answer to. Yes, even though this is in another world, Saeldir's power is still quite great.

Aurdis never thought that Conrad would be able to beat him. Even though Saeldir might find it difficult, she was sure that Saeldir would manage to beat him.

Aurdis glanced at Saeldir who was lying stiff on the floor covered in rubble. His Magic Sword lay not far from him and its light grew dimmer.

Aurdis approached Saeldir and touched his head. Conrad did nothing and just stared at her.

'What is this?'

Aurdis felt a very strong Magic. Her eyebrows creased and created a worried look on her face.

"Maybe it's some kind of powerful curse?" Conrad asked. "Maybe the curse will kill him."

Aurdis heard Conrad's words.

'Maybe that's true. If that's Eliril's power, maybe it indeed can kill Saeldir.'
