Chapter 145 Still Going

The chain continued to devour Erend's scale at a rapid speed.

However, no matter how fast the chain tried to devour the scale around his neck, it wouldn't be able to do it that fast.

Because after all, it was a Dragon scale.

Erend still felt that he was threatened. Even though he was protected by [Dragon Scale], he didn't know the full ability of his enemy.

Previously, even his Dragon power had been sealed by one of them.

Erend has learned from his mistakes and realizes that Systema's powers are not completely invincible.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Claw (Lv.1) ]

Claws appeared on both of Erend's hands.

Erend immediately swung his claws toward the chain that was entangling his neck.

*CRAAAKKH!*

But the chain didn't budge.

When Erend was about to swing his claws at the chain again, the corrupted Dark Elf had already punched Erend in the head.

The blow wasn't strong enough to throw Erend. But it was enough to take his eyes off him for a moment.

After that, the corrupted Dark Elf's other hand opened and a thick red goo appeared in his palm.

Then the corrupted Dark Elf threw it at Erend's face.

"Oh shit!" Erend cursed angrily.

The thick red Goo closed his eyes completely.

The corrupted Dark Elf pulled the chain and slammed Erend into the ground.

Then he pulled him up again and hit throw him again on the ground.

The corrupted Dark Elf did it again and again. Pulling Erend up and then slamming him into the ground again.

*BUAGH!*

*BUAGH!*

*BUAGH!*

...

Erend whose eyes were still tightly closed couldn't see his surroundings.

It made his fighting ability drastically reduced.

Moreover, rain and storms suddenly appeared. The noise from the surroundings was covered by the rain and the storm.

Making Erend even more at disadvantage.

After a while, as if satisfied with slamming Erend repeatedly, the corrupted Dark Elf stopped.

Erend couldn't see what he was doing. So Erend tried to get rid of the goo on his face.

This move is truly unexpected. He thought his enemy had become a brain-dead monster.

He thought his thinking ability was only to the point of wanting to attack blindly.

But it turns out he was wrong. The enemy will have a way of attaching this hard-to-remove thick red goo.

His goal was obviously to block his view so he could gain an advantage.

Coupled with the chain around his neck that continues to erode his scale. The current situation is really bad.

However, Erend didn't feel that he would lose. After all, he still has a lot of cards on his sleeve.

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

*BWOOOSSSHHH!!!*

Flames shot out in all directions.

The fire evaporated all the rainwater that fell around it and created a thin mist.

"ARRRGGGHH!!!"

Erend heard the voice of the corrupted Dark Elf nearby.

It meant that he did intend to do something near him. Activating that skill was the right thing to do.

The chains around his neck began to melt from being unable to withstand the heat of his flames.

A moment later the chain shattered and disappeared.

The thick red goo that was on his face had also disappeared.

Erend turned off his skill and looked around. What he did scorch the grass within a radius of about ten kilometers from where he was standing.

But Erend didn't care. After all, this place had already been destroyed ever since their battle took place.

Adding a little more damage wouldn't make any difference.

His enemy was standing not far in front of him. The Dark Elf who had now turned into an ugly monster was now looking at him with vengeful eyes.

Most of his body was scorched until his bones were exposed.

Erend thought that he would regenerate with that strange power. But he didn't.

The Dark Elf just stood there. As if waiting for his pain to subside - not healed - before deciding to attack him again.

Erend turned to Aurdis. She was fighting two Dark Elves.

One Dark Elf only has one hand. And another one seems to be the Dark Elf who had been quietly standing in the distance before.

Aurdis floated above the ground with a silver light enveloping her body.

She attacked her two opponents with a flying weapon made of silver light.

Aurdis looks fine. But Erend couldn't let his guard down.

For now, at least she will manage on her own. Until Erend can kill the Dark Elf who has turned into a monster.

Because now he is the most dangerous enemy here.

Erend thought he didn't need to use the power of [Fire Dragon Transformation] to defeat this enemy Dark Elf.

'Maybe only with the power of fire, I can win.'

If he couldn't win and the situation suddenly turned in an unexpected direction, Erend still had Slimes he could rely on.

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

Erend stretched his arms up. A fireball was created above his palm.

The fireball was originally only the size of a marble. But the fireball kept getting bigger every second.

"Aren't you going to attack me?" Erend asked his opponent. "If you don't come, this fireball will only get bigger."

The corrupted Dark Elf gritted his teeth. His red aura was now mixed with a sinister-looking dark color.

Then he stomped his foot and dashed towards Erend.

His speed had increased than before and Erend noticed that.

He immediately threw the fireball that was already one meter in diameter at him.

But it turns out that besides being fast, he is also getting more agile.

With his agility, the Dark Elf could dodge to the side while running at an incredible speed.

*BOOM!*

The fireball exploded behind him.

"HYAAA!!!"

*DUAGHH!*

Erend stood still and chose not to dodge. Instead, he chose to stay and face the Dark Elf head-on.

Erend was pushed by the Dark Elf's overflowing power. Now his dark and sinister Magic aura also spreads out wider to cover Erend as well.

"(You will die because you dare to mess with our prey!)"

The Dark Elf said something but Erend only heard it as a grumble filled with anger.

"The hell you saying, you ugly bastard?!" Erend replied.

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

Fire gushed from Erend's hand.

Due to their inherently close distance, the flames hit the corrupted Dark Elf heavily.
