The Dark Elves stood stiffly in their places.
It was as if something had nailed their feet to the ground. Something strange and pressuring them.
Their instincts told them that now they should back off.
Their instinct is like a collective consciousness that they feel together. Without any other thoughts saying that it was just an unreasonable fear.
Just a little more they will be able to kill the princess. But suddenly a Portal appeared.
From within the Portal suddenly appeared a person who immediately disrupted everything they had been doing.
The Dark Elf assassins took a long time and sacrifice to get Aurdis to that stage.
But this person, someone who seemed to have emerged from another world, had come and made their pre-existing success vanish in an instant.
"(Who are you?!)" the leader of the Dark Elf asked in a sharp tone.
There was anger and frustration in his voice.
"I don't understand what you're saying," Erend replied coldly.
Erend walked towards them. His eyes had found all the enemies.
There were four in front of him and one was doing something some distance away.
She doesn't seem to be doing anything now. But that doesn't mean Erend has to let her go.
"Are you guys here by Laston's orders?" Erend asked.
Hearing Laston's name comes out of the stranger's mouth, the Dark Elves widened their eyes in shock.
They were stunned and looked at each other.
"(How did he know?") a male Dark Elf whose hand was cut off asked in shock.
The leader gritted his teeth. "(I do not know.)"
The Dark Elves had now lost their opportunity. Their plans had clearly fallen apart. They could no longer continue this.
"(We have to get out of here.)" Reluctantly, the leader finally made that decision.
That decision clearly hurt their pride as a group of Dark Elf assassins that had never failed before.
All of his men sighed in disappointment. But they all agreed immediately without expressing any protest.
They were about to jump and disappear from this place. However, of course, Erend wouldn't let them.
Erend dashed towards them with incredible speed. After that, he activated his skill.
[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]
Erend threw dozens of small fireballs at them.
The Dark Elves looked shocked. But they soon created the same movement.
They spread their arms and create Magic shields with their respective aura colors.
The small fireballs hit their Magic shields.
Before the effects of the small fireballs blocking their view disappeared, Erend was already charged toward them.
"(WATCH OUT!)" the female Dark Elf who was maintaining the Magic circle confinement shouted.
Because of her scream, all of the Dark Elves realized that they were in danger.
"(SCATTER!)!" The leader shouted.
They instantly spread out in all directions. Once they were free from the small fireballs blocking their view, they could see Erend was about to reach them.
'Shit, a little bit more, and I will get them!'
Erend regretted that he couldn't launch a surprise attack and destroy them all at once.
'But, well... it's not over yet.'
Erend immediately jumped towards a Dark Elf closest to him.
Erend was sure that the Dark Elf had lost his hand because of Aurdis.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.1) ]
When Erend's skin began to be covered by the red and black scales, the Dark Elves widened their eyes simultaneously in shock.
"(He is that Dragonborn!)" the male Dark Elf who had landed on the ground said.
Beside him, their leader just stood still and stared at Erend.
He heard what his friend said. But he was too shocked to reply.
'How did he get here?!'
The leader remembered that he had just exited the Portal.
How was he, who - according to information they got, had returned to his original world - be here?
At the right time when the Elf princess desperately needed help?
When the leader finally saw that his friend had been captured by Erend, the question didn't matter anymore.
Erend grabbed the Dark Elf's leg and then swung it until he hit the ground.
The Dark Elf spat out a bit of blood and felt something snap on his body.
He didn't have time to react before Erend followed up on the slam.
Erend jumped on top of him and slammed his fist on the Dark Elf's face.
Erend's fist seemed to sink into his face. The Dark Elf who had been trained in dangerous situations immediately thrust his dagger at Erend.
But the dagger just hit Erend's hard scale.
Erend gave the Dark Elf another punch for his wasted effort.
Due to the unbearable pain, the Dark Elf's hand finally lost its strength and fell to the ground.
His dagger that twisted like a snake slipped from his hand.
Erend wanted to continue with the third punch, but suddenly a chain tied his neck and pulled him away.
Erend toll on the ground. Shortly after that, black roots emerged from the ground wrapped around his body.
A Dark Elf just appeared beside him. She immediately stabbed the dagger that she was holding with only one hand.
But again, the dagger just stopped when it hit Erend's scale.
Erend smirked. "Don't you ever learn from mistakes?"
[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]
Erend opened his mouth and shot fire at the female Dark Elf.
The female Dark Elf could still jump to dodge. But not without the slightest wound.
Erend's flames burned the side of her head and scorched her black hood.
Blond hair slid freely from the Dark Elf's head because the hood covering her head had caught fire.
Erend tried to free himself from the black roots that had trapped him. But it turns out that the roots are very strong.
Suddenly a Magic circle appeared under Erend's body.
'Damn it! Don't let this be the Magic circle that sealed Systema like before.'
Erend saw a Dark Elf stretching his arms towards him.
A red colored Magic aura emanated from his body. He must be the one who created this Magic circle.
