I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 401 Dark Clouds





'Erend, is that you?!'

As soon as he heard Arty's voice, Erend immediately felt his heart skip a beat. There was a shocking feeling of relief that he felt especially after the fight with Svaros.

The fact that Arty could contact him now meant she was fine. Or can find a short safe time to contact him?

'Where are you?' Erend - who was still in Dragon form - asked telepathically.

'I was in... Uhh... I don't know. This place is dark, but me and Mom are safe here.'

Erend immediately deactivated his Dragon Form and returned to his human form. He didn't even pay Svaros's corpse a second glance and only focused on hearing Arty's words.

'Are you in the Chaos Realm now?' Erend asked.

'I... I don't know. Someone brought us here after I finished training at the dojo and I woke up in a castle then a half-naked woman came! But, I got away from her and now I'm in this dark place.'

Erend's forehead creased at that. He knew that what was holding Arty and their mom was one of the Chaos Realm creatures that cooperated with Svaros and the creature that possessed the president. But how can Arty escape one of the creatures that Eccar is a god and goddess? And how did she get to be in that dark place, whatever that place is?

'How can I find you?' Erend asked in a hurried tone.

''Honestly, Erend, I don't know either. We suddenly entered this place after I didn't have any more Magic energy to fly away from that tower.'

'Wait, I think I know something about that. I will contact you again after confirming something.'

'Would we be able to contact each other again once disconnected? I need a lot of effort to reach you.' Arty sounded worried.

'Once we're connected, then I'll be able to easily call you back. Don't worry,' Erend said, reassuring her.

'Alright, then.'

Erend disconnected their telepathic connection and then walked towards the Svaros castle ruins. But the figure he met had already walked out of the hole in the castle wall with a grin on his face.

"You managed to kill him! As expected of you," Eccar said.

"We can celebrate later. Now we have more important matters to discuss," Erend replied. Then he started to explain what happened to his sister.

"Your sister seems pretty strong. She was able to escape from the confinement of one of those creatures and even created her own domain," Eccar said.

"What?" Erend frowned.

"What your sister created was a very small version of this domain," Eccar said as he spread his arms out to indicate where Svaros lived. "As I said before, with enough desire and Magic power a being can create anything in Chaos Realm.

"You saw my domain when you first came here. I created it from the image of the world I lived in because I wanted to make it that way.

"Your sister, since she wants to find a place of refuge, she can create that dark place. Maybe without even knowing it."

Erend felt a sense of pride in his heart for Arty.

"That's pretty amazing. However, because it's such a small domain and so new it will take us a while to find it," Eccar said.

Erend exhaled for the umpteenth time. Then said. "But we still have to find them."

"Of course!" Eccar replied. He looks almost as enthusiastic as Erend as if he also misses Erend's family.

They continued their search with more speed and haste than before. Erend said that he could still contact Arty and Eccar revealed that it was a good thing.

With new information and enthusiasm, they set out to explore the Chaos Realm on this quest.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Erend's friends are waiting in great uneasiness.

"This is taking too long," Aurdis said. She bit her lip. Her face seemed to break out a little cold sweat.

"You're right. What the hell is going on there?" Billy didn't look any better than her.

"Let's just wait here. What else can we do besides that?" Aerchon said in an even tone. Even though he actually felt restless. The longer Erend was there it meant that the situation would get worse here. And maybe even there he is also facing difficulties.

Rumbles of thunder suddenly sounded outside even though they knew that the weather was clear enough. So that immediately made those who were already restless panic even more.

Adrien immediately moved towards the window and saw that a dark cloud had suddenly formed in the sky. They didn't need to wonder why there was such a cloud so suddenly; it must be because of the influence of Chaos Magic that came to this world.

Aerchon, Aurdis, and Saeldir could also feel that the Magic was getting more intense as if it was filling the air around them. Just like that, the arrival of the intense Magic was sudden.

"What is going on?" Aerchon immediately stood up from his chair and looked outside. "Didn't we install artifacts in Adaeram to suppress the spread of this Magic?"

"It seems they acted more quickly than we expected," said Adrien who was still staring outside. "The creature that has possessed the president must have ordered troops to destroy the artifacts in Adaeram."

"How did they manage to destroy the artifact? We've put up shields and veils to make the artifact invisible," said Saeldir.

"Maybe," Aurdis replied. "The creature not only mobilizes human troops. But humans who have become his minions and have a fraction of the creature's power."

The possibility was so great and so likely that when Aurdis said that, they all froze and fell silent.

"The people he tied with his Magic, Captain!" Billy said, looking at Adrien.

"Yeah. I think that's the point of taking personal bodyguards. So he can make them his minions," Adrien said.

The room suddenly felt even colder and cramped than before knowing that the troubles in this place were getting bigger. Meanwhile, they haven't heard anything from Erend yet.

"What should we do now? There must be something we can do, right?" Billy said while looking at them all.

"For now we can't do anything before we get news from Erend," Aerchon quipped. "We can attack the creature. But what if he suddenly orders his friends in the Chaos Realm to do something that will harm Erend even more?"

Billy clucked angrily. "Tch! You're right."

The sound of thunder sounded again, this time louder than before. After that, the thunder became more and more frequent. Chaos Magic continued to spread along with the thunder and dark clouds.

Meanwhile, at the place where they were doing the experiment, Thomas also saw dark clouds suddenly form in the sky. He knew that it was a bad omen without even checking anything.

Thomas turned to Conrad who was still in the canister with his eyes closed.

'How long must it be until he wakes up?'

The feeling of restlessness in his heart is growing bigger every second. After a while, he saw that Conrad had opened his eyes. Thomas immediately ran to him.

"You're awake?" Thomas asked.

Conrad blinked slowly. Then he moved his eyes slowly to Thomas. When he saw Conrad's eyes, Thomas seemed to see a strange flash of light that only lasted a moment and then disappeared. Seeing that, Thomas immediately concluded that Conrad's Magic power had returned.

"Yes," Conrad replied flatly. "I can feel danger in the air. Something bad is going to happen. Open this tube."

Thomas immediately pressed the button to make the canister and Conrad immediately came out. He put his clothes back on and said. "We have to do something urgently."

"What do you think we can do right away?"

"First, let's go back to Sergeant Drake's house."

So, they immediately left that place to go to Erend's house again. On the way, they saw that chaos was starting to happen again.

Thomas pressed the gas pedal harder so they went even faster on this chaotic street.

'Hopefully, there's still time,' Conrad thought, looking out the car window.

When they got to the busy streets of Ascan City, what they saw was quite worrying.

Riots still occur but there is something worse than the riots. Several people who weren't fighting or destroying just stood there silently staring blankly ahead. The people who were busy fighting didn't seem to pay them any mind, making the situation even more disturbing.

"What the hell..." Thomas drove the car at high speed because he didn't want to get caught up in this riot.

"There's no mistake," Conrad said in a low voice. "This is the influence of those creatures of the Chaos Realm. I can feel too much pressure from this evil and foul Magic."

When he turned Thomas could see that Conrad was grimacing uncomfortably. It was as if, he was holding something in his throat so he wouldn't spit it out in this car.

Surprisingly, they were able to arrive back at Erend's house safely.

However, there were already a dozen more people waiting there.
