I Received System to Become Dragonborn

After they heard Erend's words, the four avatars becom tensed, but not to the point of outright alarm or fear. Their postures shifted slightly but their expressions remained calm.

Erend's eyes narrowed as he caught the faint smirk on the black-coated avatar's face. It was so subtle that anyone else might have missed it, but Erend didn't.

That smirk wasn't one of amusement. It carried a confidence feeling of the man that made him uneasy. These four weren't just biding their time, they had something up on their sleeves.

The navy-blue-coated man stepped forward, his voice calm but sharp. "I'll go first."

Without waiting for a response, he used his power and an aura of swirling water surrounded him. It moved with a strange fluidity to form a transparent armor that hugged his body. The energy it emitted was cold and the ground beneath him began to dampen, frost and mist of water forming along the edges of the battlefield.

Erend frowned, his crimson and black aura flaring more intensely.

"No, no. That's not how this works," he said with frustration. "You're all coming at me together. Like I said, I don't have time to waste."

The navy-blue avatar chuckled softly, his tone dripping with condescension. "Arrogance after such a small victory," he said, shaking his head. "Typical of your kind."

Meanwhile, Eccar's gaze shifted toward the two figures he had thrown into the Dragon bones earlier. To his irritation, they were stirring again.

Their bodies twitched and their flames reignited with alarming speed. They climbed back to their feet with expressions twisted in anger.

Eccar sighed heavily. "Of course," he muttered under his breath, turning to face them.

His frustration grew as he saw the wounds on their faces begin to seal, their regenerative abilities kicking in. Their flames burned brighter than before, crackling with more intense energy.

Erend's sharp senses picked up on their revival as well. His eyes darted briefly to the side, watching Krevak and Thalrok regain their footing and healing almost effortlessly. His lips curled into a sneer.

"Aren't they persistent?"

The four avatars in front of him didn't move to attack yet. Their calm demeanor remained unchanged as if they were confident that Krevak and Thalrok's return would tip the scales. Erend didn't care.

"Enough," he growled. His aura surged as he propelled himself forward, the ground cracking beneath his feet from the force of his movement.

In an instant, Erend was already in front of the navy-blue-coated man, his fist blazing with red and black energy as it rocketed toward the avatar's chest. The impact sent a massive shockwave rippling outward, the earth trembling beneath them.

But the navy-blue-coated man was ready for that. His water armor absorbed the brunt of the blow, rippling like a pond struck by a stone.

A powerful burst of water exploded outward, pushing Erend back slightly, he dug his heels into the ground and steadied himself.

"You're fast," the navy-blue avatar admitted, his tone still calm.

Erend's grin widened, a wild glint in his eyes. "I was also hoping for a challenge from the so called gods."

As the two squared off again, Krevak and Thalrok roared back into the fight, their flames roaring.

Eccar who see them coming let out a frustrated growl. His fists clenching as he prepared for their assault.

The battlefield erupted once more. But through it all, the black-coated avatar stood still and observing with piercing eyes, his hands tucked calmly behind his back.

The clash between Erend and the navy-blue-coated avatar intensified as they traded blow after blow. At first, Erend relied solely on his physical prowess alone with fast and precise punches that charged with his Dragonborn strength.

However, the avatar managed to countered with equal skill, his water armor rippling and surging to deflect Erend's strikes while retaliating with fluid movements that forced Erend to stay on his toes.

Their battle shook the ground, sending shockwaves through the battlefield. Erend began to feel a growing frustration. This opponent wasn't just skilled, he was matching Erend move for move.

A faint smirk crossed Erend's lips, a flicker of excitement sparking in his eyes.

"Fine," he growled, his voice a low rumble. "Let's take this up a notch."

In an instant, his aura shifted and crackling of electricity start to appear in his body. Sparks danced along his body and the air around him grew charged with static. Without hesitation, Erend unleashed a bolt of lightning that streaked through the air toward the navy-blue-coated man directly.

The avatar widened his eyes in shock. His water armor hissed and sizzled as the lightning coursed through it and starting to crackling and overwhelming its defenses.

"AAAAARGH!"

His calm demeanor faltered as he let out a sharp cry of pain. His body convulsing from the surge of lightning. The ground beneath him blackened and steam rose as the lightning fried him from within.

With a gasp the navy-blue avatar collapsed, his body hitting the ground with a heavy thud. He lay motionless, faint wisps of smoke rising from his singed form.

Erend exhaled, his grin widening as he looked at the remaining three avatars. Their previously calm expressions shifted into something more uncertain, even shocked.

"So," the black-coated man said. "he's a Lightning Dragon."

He tilted his head slightly, his piercing gaze fixed on Erend. Yet despite what happened, there was no trace of worry in his voice, only intrigue.

Meanwhile, not far away, Eccar had his own battle to fight. Thalrok and Krevak charged at him with their fiery auras blazing as they coordinated their assault.

But Eccar was ready. He attack brutally and landing them with enough force to shatter bones and send shockwaves through the air.

Thalrok lunged at him but Eccar sidestepped with ease then slamming a fist into Thalrok's chest. The impact sent the fire-clad warrior hurtling backward, his flames flickering wildly.

Krevak roared in fury, releasing a torrent of fire toward Eccar. But Eccar met it head-on while charging at him. The flames collided with his scale, creating a swirling vortex of heat around Eccar's body. When the blaze cleared, Eccar emerged unscathed.

Eccar then send a devastating punch that sent Krevak crumpling to the ground, his flames extinguished.

Thalrok tried to rise, but Eccar was already there, delivering a thunderous kick that rendered him unconscious.

Eccar straightened, brushing dust from his hands as he looked over to where Erend stood.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two Dragonborn locked eyes briefly. They knew that this is not going to just over.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence. The three avatars — Krevak, Thalrok, and the navy-blue-coated man — lay battered and broken, their bodies twitching slightly as if clinging to the last vestiges of their strength.

Any normal enemy would have died from the attack dealt by the two Dragonborn, but these were not ordinary enemies.

Erend's eyes narrowed as he watched them. He could feel the faint flickers of energy still emanating from them.

Erend's gaze then shifted to the black-coated man, still standing calmly at the edge of the battlefield. His face remained still as ever. The man's confidence was unnerving and it set Erend's nerves on edge.

Finally, the black-coated man spoke.

"All right," he said. "I think it's time to stop playing. I've seen enough."

He raised one of his clasped hands. The air around him shifted, growing dense with an oppressive energy that seemed to seep into the ground and radiate outward.

Erend and Eccar tensed as the atmosphere grew heavier, a foreboding chill crawling up their spines.

The black-coated man's hand unfurled, palm upward, as if commanding the battlefield itself.

"Rise again, you three."

Krevak, Thalrok, and the navy-blue-coated man, who had moments ago been on the ground suddenly jerked upright. With a collective groan, they began to stretch and crack their necks, rolling their shoulders as though shaking off the stiffness of a long slumber.

Eccar's fists clenched, his teeth grinding in frustration. "You've got to be kidding me."

Krevak let out a low chuckle, flexing his fingers as the flames around him reignited, brighter and hotter than before. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

Thalrok grinned wickedly, a molten glow seeping from the cracks in his skin as he cracked his knuckles.

The navy-blue-coated man remained silent then he reformed his water armor, the cold aura around him intensifying until frost began to spread across the ground once more. His gaze locked onto Erend with lips that curling into a thin dangerous smile.

Erend sighed, his crimson and black aura flaring instinctively. He could feel more power emanating from the avatars now.

The black-coated man let out a soft chuckle, his hands clasping behind his back once more.

"Impressive, isn't it? You fought well, Dragonborn, but you've only just scratched the surface."

Erend's eyes burned with determination, the chaotic storm of his elemental powers sparking to life around him. Eccar stepped forward, his scales shimmering more.

But to their surprise, they are not attacking one by one again. Now the six of them attacked at once together from all sides.
