BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 Intruders
Night came to the Elf palace. Everyone seems to be busy with their own activities.
Aerchon and some of his soldiers left the palace to go somewhere. Aerchon didn\'t consider the recent attacks to be a threat as he only brought a few soldiers on his journey.
Aurdis on the other hand, headed straight to the dungeon to meet Anna. As soon as she heard of a new prisoner let alone a woman, Aurdis rushed to meet her.
Billy and Lt.Boartusk accompanied her downstairs to meet Anna. The two of them came along to make sure that Anna didn\'t say things she shouldn\'t say.
"Of course, you can come," Aurdis said with her usual warm smile. Aurdis of course did not reject their company.
She allowed the two humans to accompany her because she felt they did have good intentions.
Billy and Lt.Boartusk exchanged meaningful glances and then began to follow Aurdis down.
Erend stayed upstairs because he said he had to do something first. After all, if they all came along it would look suspicious.
Erend now stays in his room and looks again at his Status Window. Accompanied by Tut, Erend was about to learn the Fire Dragon Skill Set he got.
"What skills should I learn first?" Erend asked while looking at the Skill List Window in front of his eyes right now.
[ <<Fire Dragon Skill List>> ]
[ Fire Dragon Physiology. ]
[ All Fire-Based Power ]
"Isn\'t the Skills here too few?" Erend asked in confusion. Previously he had gotten five Skill Lists but now there were only two.
[ "Read carefully." ] Tut said.
Erend made up his mind to open a Skill to see the description.
[Fire Dragon Physiology. ]
[ Description: The user either is or can transform into a Fire Dragon. In this hybrid form, the Dragon can freely manipulate fire. When selecting this Skill, the user can get the following Skills: Atmospheric Adaptation, Enhanced Durability, Enhanced Endurance, Enhanced Lung Capacity, and Enhanced Strength. ]
When reading the explanation of this skill, Erend\'s eyes immediately opened wide.
"Wow! Wouldn\'t I be too powerful with this Skill?" Erend asked with wide eyes.
[ "That\'s the point of this power. To make you strong enough to face future threats." ] Tut replied.
"Actually what kind of threat will there be that I have to have all these Skills to fight it," Erend muttered. "Don\'t worry. I\'m not asking you to answer. I\'m just talking to myself."
Tut ignored Erend\'s words and immediately moved on to the next more important topic.
[ "But you need 5 Skill Points to get that one Skill." ]
Erend wanted to ask why but then he realized that one Skill was practically as powerful as the five Skills he had previously acquired. Because of that, Erend didn\'t ask anymore.
"Well, okay. Now I only have 3 Skill Points. So I have to wait to get those Skills," Erend said.
[ "Naturally."]
Knowing that there was nothing else he could do but wait to Level up two more times, Erend came out of his room and decided to take a short walk. Later he would follow Aurdis, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk to the dungeon.
Erend strolled around the palace gardens. The night that comes makes the view of the palace garden even more beautiful.
Globes of Magic light fly like nocturnal animals illuminating the unique flowers and plants in the garden.
Aerchon and some of his soldiers are going somewhere and the other Elves are busy with their own business. Making this park deserted and there\'s only Erend here.
Erend wished this kind of atmosphere would last a little longer. Everything was peaceful without him having to think about anything that would happen tomorrow.
But of course, that\'s not possible.
Just as Erend stared at the garden for a few minutes, suddenly something crawled out from under the ground.
Erend frowned. He narrowed his eyes to focus his gaze. Brown hands were seen prying the ground and trying to pull themselves out.
\'Shit!\' Erend immediately knew what had happened. An intruder broke into the palace!
Erend looked around but no Elf could be seen. He didn\'t know how to set off the alarm in this palace. But if he went to look for the Elf, naturally the intruders would have spread all over the place.
So Erend decided to fight them first. The sound of the battle he gave off would definitely alert all the Elves in this palace.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.1) ]
[ Skill activated: Dragon Claw (Lv.1) ]
Suddenly before his eyes, a Systema notification appeared. It is such a coincidence.
[ Urgent Quest Updated! ]
[ Urgent Quest: Kill the Daemons of Calamity that enter the castle. ]
[ Progress: Daemon of Calamity killed: 0/20 ]
\'There are 20 of them?!\' Erend was quite surprised to know it.
The number of enemies that appear is quite a lot. Realizing that he didn\'t have much time, Erend lunged at the Daemons who were starting to come out of their digging hole.
The Daemon that appeared first turned around and saw Erend charging toward him. He froze in shock.
Before he could wake up from his shock Erend was right above him. Erend raised his claws and stabbed his claws into the Daemon\'s head.
\'CRAAAT!!!\'
The Daemon was immediately still and silent. Most likely because Erend had already destroyed his brain. His horns don\'t help at all.
But the Daemons under him still don\'t know what happened. There was a loud noise from below that Erend didn\'t understand.
Erend shoved Daemon\'s body into the ground. Then he opened his mouth.
[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]
\'BWOOOOOSSSHHH!!!\'
Erend spit fire into the dug hole. A scream of pain rang out from below.
As soon as Erend felt he had managed to hold them back for a while, suddenly from behind him another Daemon came out from under the ground.
The Daemon jumps out and throws a red metal chain at Erend. The chain wrapped around Erend\'s neck.
Then the Daemon pulled the chain and Erend fell backward. The other daemons came out one by one.
