Chapter 279 Need To Go

Erend just remembered to contact Aurdis after he felt that his tension was starting to loosen.

All that interrogation and anxiety because he had used his Dragon power in this world is taken its toll.

He is currently standing inside the gym at the military base.

Erend is alone now. But because he didn't want to make anyone suspicious, he started lifting the dumbbells in both of his hands.

He did that to make it look like he was training his muscle.

So when someone came in and caught him, he had a very clear reason.

Even though he actually just makes the time to be able to contact Aurdis. And he clearly doesn't need muscle training.

'Saeldir too?'

Aurdis' voice sounded very confused.

Erend knew why she could be so confused. That's because he doesn't usually ask to talk to Elves other than her.

However, for the problem this time, Erend had no other choice.

He knew that Saeldir was an Archmage, which for Erend meant an Elf who knew many things.

And Erend believes that this is the reality.

He had seen for himself how Saeldir had extensive knowledge and power about Magic. Even among the Elves who are the best Magic user race in Eternal Earth.

So, Saeldir must know about this recent incident in his world.

A dimensional leak that spread that corrupted Magic.

'Yeah. There's a problem here. So, I guess I need you and Saeldir's help.'

No response from Aurdis. She only remained silent for a few moments. Before she finally spoke.

'I don't know, Erend. Saeldir right now.is pretty busy...'

'Was that too hard to do? Because this problem is quite big,' Erend said.

'What exactly happened there?' Aurdis's tone started to sound worried.

'There is a Magic that escaped from a dimensional leak. I don't know what Magic it is but it makes people who are affected become mad.'

Erend explained as briefly as possible.

He seemed to be able to see Aurdis' expression at this moment.

Maybe she was widening her eyes and opening her mouth a little.

And Erend could also imagine if she suddenly stopped in the middle of her steps.

Of course, it's all just in Erend's imagination and he doesn't know what's going on there.

'That's... That's really bad. I'll talk to Saeldir right away!'

'Hey, I have a better suggestion,' Erend said.

'Is that so? What is that?' Aurdis asked.

'I was planning to ask your help in coming here to deal with the problem of people who can use Magic, right?'

'Yeah, then?'

'How about you come together with Saeldir? That way, everything will be easier to explain.'

Aurdis didn't answer right away.

Erend waited in silence while continuing to lift his dumbbells.

The dumbbells didn't even feel heavy in Erend's hand.

He felt like he was just moving his hands without any weight.

But it's good enough for distraction.

And give enough reason to anyone who walks into this gym.

Erend waited for Aurdis' answer with a worried feeling.

He wasn't sure if his idea would be accepted by Saeldir.

However, even though this is indeed a rather complicated problem, with more Elves involved - especially when an Archmage was involved - an explanation for the dimension leak problem could be quickly found.

After a while, finally, Aurdis spoke again with a satisfactory answer.

'I think that's a great idea. I will speak to Saeldir now.'

Erend smiled at that answer. 'Yes. Thank you.'

'Can you explain what happened? That way, I can more easily convince Saeldir to come to your world,' Aurdis said.

'Alright.'

Erend started to explain what he saw on the ship at that time.

About what Magic did to turn everyone on the ship into madmen who only have thoughts of killing.

Then about the tear in space-time where they can hide before coming out and ambushing them.

Erend didn't forget to also say that he had to turn into a Dragon to close the dimensional leak.

Then, Erend said something very important.

Something that, coincidentally, has also been making her and Saeldir haunted by anxiety lately.

'I saw a tall tree standing in the middle of a reddish wasteland.'

'What?!'

Aurdis gasped.

Erend didn't know what was going on. But the information he just gave out seemed to have a bigger impact on Aurdis.

'Did you just say... you saw a tree?' Aurdis asked.

'Yeah. You know anything about that?'

'Wait a minute Erend. I will meet Saeldir and tell him everything. You just wait until I contact you again.'

Aurdis' tone sounded rushed.

She seemed to have just heard something so bad that she couldn't talk to Erend anymore.

Their telepathic connection was cut off just like that.

Erend is increasingly convinced that Aurdis knows something.

That dimensional leak was probably something that also caused trouble in the Elf castle.

Or even the matter has also spread throughout Eternal Earth.

'I regret not contacting Aurdis sooner.'

*BRAAAKKK!*

Aurdis broke into Saeldir's bedroom door so hard that Saeldir jumped from his chair and summoned his sword.

"(Saeldir, there is a very serious problem!)"

Aurdis said in a high tone of voice. Her eyes widened to stare at Saeldir.

"(You're lucky I haven't thrown my sword at you!)" Saeldir snapped.

But then he took a deep breath to calm himself after looking at Aurdis.

Saeldir returned his sword to its original place. Then sit back.

"(What is going on? What made you like that?)" Saeldir asked.

Aurdis immediately sat on her chair.

"(I just got a call from Erend,)" Aurdis said. "(He said something about a very tall tree, standing in the middle of the red wasteland.)"

Saeldir's brow furrowed. "(What are you talking about?)"

Then Aurdis told about what she just heard from Erend.

Then Saeldir comes to a realization.

"(Maybe... that's what we think,)" Saeldir said.

"(You really think it's that cursed tree?)" Aurdis asked.

"(Based on what you heard from Erend, I'm almost sure that it's the tree's influence.)"

"(In that case-)"

"(I will come with you there.)"
