I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 719: Doubt

From above, Veyna watched, her frown deepening as she observed the battlefield. Below her, the clash between Erend and Laston sent tremors through the tower, shaking the towering structures that had long since fallen under Laston’s dominion.

The air crackled with a lot of energy, remnants of Magic and technology colliding in sheer destructive force.

Her sharp eyes locked onto Laston as his form shifted, the black metallic plates of his armor adapting in real time. That wasn’t just nano-metal, this was something more.

It was Laston’s personal armor, infused with the energy he had called Magic plus the nano metal technology. The very force that had allowed them to seize control of this city in the first place.

Veyna exhaled slowly, fists tightening at her side. So, he was serious now. So Dredge was not exaggerating.

She had seen Laston toy with countless enemies before. When he fought Aerchon and his team, he hadn’t even bothered with his full arsenal. Just enough to overwhelm them, to remind them of their place.

But now? Now, he had activated the true form of his armor, its flowing metallic sheen laced with flickering streams of Magic, shaping itself to counter every move Erend made.

So maybe that beast really was that strong.

Her gaze shifted to Erend, who stood amid the crumbling battlefield like an unshaken monolith of black and red. Smoke and fire wreathed his frame, his red-black scales pulsing.

Laston had hit him with a lot thus far but still, the beast called the Dragonborn barely looked fazed. If anything, the look in his eyes was one of intrigue, not fear.

Veyna’s lips pressed into a thin line. The reports she had read described Dragonborn as a powerful warriors who wielded destruction. But now she finally managed to see it firsthand. She have to admit that that beast was something else.

Below, the battle keep on going.

Laston moved to first. His armor reshaping itself in constant response to Erend’s attacks. His cannons shifted form, the barrels narrowing as they charged a new type of energy. This energy was designed to counter Magic itself.

The tendrils at his back spread wide, forming an array of weapons all locked onto the Dragonborn. Stay tuned for updates on novelhall.Côm

Erend had distanced himself from Laston and now stopped moving for a while. He stood his ground as if taunting for Laston to launch his strongest attack, his gaze scanning Laston’s armor with keen interest.

Veyna’s frown deepened. That was dangerous.

Veyna tilted her head slightly and waiting. The air still crackled with residual energy and the heat from the blast warped the very atmosphere. She had seen this attack reduce stronger foes to nothing. She could almost see the Dragonborn become ash.

Suddenly she saw a spark from the smoke.

Her sharp eyes caught it immediately.

Within the dissipating smoke, something glowed a deep fiery red. Embers drifted through the air, swirling within the destruction. Then, a gust of force blew the smoke apart, revealing a menacing shadow standing in the crater.

Erend.

His figure emerged completely unscathed. His red-black scales pulsed, absorbing the last traces of energy from the blast.

Then he let out a low chuckle.

"Not bad, Laston. That’s actually pretty strong," he said. "But I’m also had become stronger this past years."

Before Veyna could even process it, Erend moved.

The ground beneath him shattered as he launched forward, a crimson blur cutting through the air. The heat trailing from his scales ignited the air around him.

Laston’s systems reacted instantly. His armor adjusted, preparing countermeasures. He deploying barriers and activating another barrage of energy blasts.

But Erend was already upon him.

A blazing fist crashed into Laston’s frame, an explosion of force rippling outward on impact. The nano-metal armor bent and cracked beneath the sheer strength behind the blow, sending Laston hurtling backward through the air.

Veyna’s breath caught.

Impossible. This was indeed no ordinary opponent.

And for the first time, as she watched Laston skid across the battlefield, Veyna felt the first seed of doubt creep into her mind.
