Chapter 142 The Beginning Of A Corruption

Erend tries to keep wriggling and destroying these black roots. But he still couldn't do it.

This black root had obviously been imbued with very strong Magic energy. In addition, underneath him, there is also a Magic circle that is ready to issue its effect.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

Erend let out a burst of fire from all over his body.

*ZWOOOSSSHHH!!!*

The fire came out as it overflowed from Erend's body.

The fire was so big and spread out in all directions. Creates an equally large heat wave.

The fire also soared into the sky. The grass in these plains also succumbed to the heat.

They are clouded and blackened. Before finally dying and burning.

All the Dark Elves that were nearby dodged immediately.

They couldn't bear to stay close to the source of the fire.

The leader of the Dark Elf who was preparing his Magic circle was also forced to cancel his intention and save himself from the scorching heat of Erend's fire.

With an expression full of regret and anger, the Dark Elf stared at Erend's body which was now completely covered in flames.

The leader also knew that the roots that wrapped around his body now must have been destroyed by fire.

No magic was strong enough to withstand such a hot fire.

'So this is Dragon's fire?'

The leader stared at the flames rising high and spreading the heat wave with a stiff face.

'What should I do now?'

The leader felt very confused and lost the way to think.

Fighting a Dragon seemed like something completely impossible.

But now they couldn't run. Then the leader realized that Aurdis was still here.

He turned to her. Aurdis was still sitting with a pale face. Trying to free her feet from the hook. The effects of the poison must still be there.

The leader immediately ran towards Aurdis.

'At least if we die now, our job is done!'

With a face full of determination, the leader ran towards Aurdis.

The chain in his hand started to glow red again as it was energized by his Magic energy.

*BOOM!*

Behind him, an explosion was heard. Along with that explosive sound, an even bigger heat wave spread around.

The leader of the assassin group didn't look back even though he had fallen because of the blast wave.

After getting up, he ran again towards Aurdis.

Aurdis who was still weak tried to get up to fight.

But she could only feel a little of her Magic returning. It wouldn't be enough to fight the Dark Elf.

However, Aurdis then smiled in relief. Even the Dark Elf could see her smile.

That smile made him realize that something bad for him was approaching from behind.

He looked back. The movement he did is a pure reflect.

What he saw was the terror that rapidly approaching.

Erend smirking. With a face filled with black and red scales, his smirk seemed even more terrifying than it should have been.

The Dragon Erend's wings flapped violently once again, sending him even more powerfully toward the Dark Elf leader.

Due to the horror that ran through his body, the Dark Elf leader couldn't even react properly anymore.

He just gave in when Erend's hand grabbed his neck.

Erend took him flying then dived sharply toward the ground.

With all that strength, Erend slammed the leader into the ground.

*BOOM!*

A small crater was created. The Dark Elf leader's body lay in the middle.

Blood splattered out of his mouth. But he's still conscious.

The Dark Elf leader spread his arms to the sides. A moment later a red Magic circle appeared above Erend.

From the Magic circle came the chains that directly bound Erend's body.

Then the chains pulled Erend from above him.

The Dark Elf leader immediately rose to his feet and took out a pair of daggers from within his black robe.

A red colored Magic aura flowed into the blades of his daggers.

Making the blades of the daggers turn red like they were burning in a furnace.

But what happened next was far from Erend's prediction.

Erend thought that he would use those daggers to attack him.

However, he instead stabbed the two daggers into his own chest and stomach.

*CRAAT!*

*CRAAT!*

"Gleghh..."

Blood dripped from the Dark Elf leader's mouth. His eyes turned bright red with a black vertical pupil in the center.

His dark red veins protruded until they were clearly visible on his skin.

p All his friends saw what their leader was doing. They were all overcome by an overwhelming feeling of dread.

"(W-Why is he doing it now?)" the female Elf who had her hand cut off asked in a trembling voice.

"(Damnit! He's using Curse of Corruption now?!)" another Dark Elf said.

"(He's going to die!)" The female Dark Elf shouted.in panic.

"(It seems he did it because he had no other choice,)" said his friend.

"(While he uses Curse of Corruption, he will have time to face the Dragonborn. We can kill the princess now!)" He turned to her. "(Are you sure?)"

"(Yes. I'm sure the princess is still affected by the poison. Now's our chance!)"

"(Alright. Let's go.)"

The two of them immediately ran towards Aurdis's place.

Meanwhile, Aurdis was still wincing in pain as she tried to release the hook stuck in her leg.

Seeing the changes that had occurred to the Dark Elves fighting Erend, Aurdis felt that the situation would only get worse.

Therefore she must be able to free herself as quickly as possible.

Even though trying to let go of this hook caused excruciating pain for her.

"Grrrh..."

A terrifying growl sounded from the transformed Dark Elf leader.

Now his body is three times bigger than his original.

The black robe he was wearing had shredded from being unable to withstand his size.

Erend who was still trapped in the chains immediately tried to free himself.

Since there is no Magic supply running through these chains, Erend can easily destroy them.

Without waiting any longer, Erend immediately shot toward the Dark Elf as soon as he managed to destroy the chains.
