BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174 Changing
Harnon looked around for the leader of the Forest Elf squad.
But once he found them, Harnon only found that they were fighting the army of Ogres and Daemons.
"(Just now we thought the problem was solved. Turns out there's another problem,)" Harnon muttered in an annoyed tone.
"(Alright,)" Harnon spoke to his squad members. "(As you guys have seen, we won't be going back and resting anytime soon. So let's get on with the work.)"
The members of his squad nodded while shouting in agreement.
Then they started aiming their arrows at the Ogres and Daemon.
The number of Undead Elves in the palace had decreased it was almost gone. So they had to change their target.
~~~
After a while of searching, Aurdis finally found Saeldir.
He was leaning against one of the white walls of the building which was almost destroyed.
Saeldir protected himself with his Magic Shield from the Ogres around him.
Aurdis immediately threw spears of silver light at the Ogres.
*CRAAAT!*
*CRAAAT!*
*CRAAAT!*
...
The spears pierced the backs of the Ogres who were unaware of being too preoccupied with Saeldir.
Once the spears of light had pierced them, Aurdis controlled them to fly and carry the Ogres. Then Aurdis threw them far away.
After that, she approached Saeldir.
Aurdis let out a gasp when she saw Saeldir's state. His face was so pale and his eyes were only slightly open. His mouth was slightly open and took a short breath.
As soon as he realized Aurdis' presence, Saeldir released his Magic Shield.
Aurdis sat down next to Saeldir and put on a worried face.
Even though she saw that Saeldir's condition seemed quite bad, she didn't see any significant injuries.
There were only scratches all over his body. But the scratch wound was not deep.
It shouldn't have made Saeldir like this. However, Saeldir seemed to have lost a lot of blood.
What actually happened in his fight against Laston?
"(What do you feel?") Aurdis asked.
"(I used too much Magic energy. And... it seems like Laston absorbed my energy when his hand was on my neck just now.)" Saeldir replied in a breathless and weak voice.
"(Can you move now?)" Aurdis asked.
"(I don't think I can,)" Laston replied.
Aurdis immediately spread her hands towards Saeldir and silver light started to come out of her hands.
"(Aren't you also... low on Magic energy?)" Saeldir asked.
"(Don't worry about me. I'm much better than you,)" Aurdis replied without looking at him.
She only focused on what she was doing for Saeldir which was to restore some of his Magic energy.
"(How did Erend come here?)" Saeldir asked.
Aurdis winced, seeming to struggle with what she was doing. Even so, she still maintained it.
"(I don't know. Maybe I accidentally called him)" Aurdis said.
Saeldir just stared at Aurdis in silence.
He stared at her for a few moments, but Aurdis said nothing more.
So Saeldir chose to remain silent because he did feel weak.
Even so, Saeldir thought, 'Unintentionally? Yeah, right.'
~~~
The lightning from within the clouds of Chaos Magic flashed along with the flames that kept gushing out.
On the other hand, Laston's black Magic also flashed because of his fast movement.
The two of them were still fighting intensely in the air.
It caused the ongoing Chaos Magic Storm to get even bigger.
Yet neither Erend nor Laston realise it, their minds were too busy in the fight.
Laston fused his two energy swords together. Then swing it towards Erend.
Meanwhile, Erend also strengthened his fire sword and responded to Laston's attack.
*JWOOOSSSHHH!!!*
The blades of the two different Magic clashed and once again sent out a wave of Magic that shattered the clouds.
All the creatures below feel it too. Forest Elves, Daemons of Calamity, Ogres, and palace Elves.
Baldeem who was receiving healing from one of the Daemon healers immediately looked up when the wave reached him.
He gritted his teeth and then immediately stood up.
"(The healing is not finished, Your Majesty,)" the Daemon healer said.
"(I don't care,)" Baldeem said.
He picked up his ax that was lying down and stamped his foot. Baldeem shot up to reenter the fight.
As soon as he finally broke through the gray clouds and saw Erend who was fighting with Laston, Baldeem accelerated his flight.
Baldeem shot at an incredible speed until suddenly he was beside Erend.
Baldeem swung his red glowing ax at Erend.
Unfortunately, Erend, who was locked with Laston, couldn't escape fast enough.
*WUSH!*
*DAKKK!*
The ax hit Erend and a red spark was created. But the ax couldn't penetrate the scale.
Baldeem's eyes widened in surprise. 'What happened? I used to be able to hurt him!'
Erend grinned. "You surprised?"
Not only Baldeem but Laston was also surprised to see Erend's scale power.
Erend took advantage of that moment to launch a kick at Laston.
*DUAGHHH!*
Laston who was caught off guard was pushed back. After that Erend continued to slam his fist toward Baldeem.
*BUAGHHH!*
Baldeem was also thrown backward.
'I made the right decision!'
Erend smiled. If he hadn't strengthened Magic Resistance, he might have been injured by that ax already.
Lightning flashed more and more violently around him.
Erend only realized this when he was a little out of the fight.
'Looks like if I leave this on too long, this lightning will get worse.'
With that, Erend thought that he had to end the fight with Laston and the Daemon as soon as possible.
Laston and Baldeem glanced at each other.
With their current situation, they didn't need much deliberation to determine their next move.
Baldeem nodded briefly. Then they moved together toward Erend.
[ Skill activated: Fire Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]
*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!!!*
A wave of heat and a dazzling red light appeared so suddenly.
Baldeem and Laston immediately realized what was happening.
A few moments later, Erend - who had turned into a Dragon - immediately lunged at them as soon as the red light disappeared.
Dragon-Erend grabs both Laston and Baldeem in his hands.
Then he made a sharp downward bend and directly smashed them into the palace grounds.
*BOOM!*
