As Erend uttered those words, all eyes in the room immediately turned toward him. Undeterred, he simply shrugged, fully anticipating the attention his statement would draw.
"I have wings, remember?" Erend simply said.
They were all silent for a few moments. Then they looked at each other. From their perspective, they believed they had reached a common decision.
Everyone here knew about Erend's Dragon power. How he can turn into ten meters or more Dragon with a wingspan twice as wide as his body. Aurdis had even experienced how it felt like being carried in Erend's palm and flying.
"Wait." Billy raised his hand. "Does only Erend need to go to those points of power, or should we all go?"
ƥandasnovel.com "Actually, we need two to three people to activate it," Saeldir replied. "I have an idea of how we can do this easily."
"How was it?" Billy asked.
"Erend can go to those places first, then place a Magic circle so we can teleport quickly."
Billy nodded. "That sounds like a fine idea."
They all immediately agreed with the idea. So Erend will go first to the places where Adaeram - the points of power - is, place a Magic circle then they will teleport there, then activate the artifact.
After unanimously embracing the notion, Aurdis, Saeldir, and Aerchon harmoniously united their efforts, channeling the essence of Magic from Erend, Adrien, Billy, and Arty. Being inherently attuned to the Magic of this world, their Magic energy proved to be the perfect catalyst for imbuing the artifacts, allowing their adaptability to permeate through the creatures and the very essence of nature that exist around them.
Fifteen minutes later they finished taking Erend, Adrien, Billy, and Arty's energy.
"We'll back and make the artifacts. While we're at it you all can rest. Tomorrow we'll start a long day," Aurdis said to the three of them.
The three Elves returned to their world. While the five Elves who are Aerchon's personal warriors stay and return to carrying out their duties to kill monsters in this world.
The five of them didn't say anything and just left as soon as the three of them left. Adrien, Billy, Erend, and Arty didn't think much of them. There is still suspicion about the five Elves roaming freely in their world. But Aurdis said that she could guarantee that Aerchon wouldn't mess with their world again. So Erend decided to believe her.
"Let's go home," Adrien said.
The four of them go home. To prepare for tomorrow, which, as Aurdis said, will be a long day.

The next day came just like that, they woke up reluctantly when they imagined what they were doing. But the sound of alarms in the distance that kept ringing became fuel for their every move that day.
Arty came out of her room with a tense face. She was ready even though it was not yet daylight. In her heart, there are various kinds of feelings mixed together. Fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
Yet Arty knew she wouldn't be able to calm down if she just kept quiet and chose to run after seeing what was happening because of this Magic awakening. She saw dozens of her fellow students and teachers at her school slaughtered by monsters.
Part of the feeling that motivated her was that she felt guilty when she became one of the only two people alive from the massacre. Because she has been practicing using Magic on her body while others are not as lucky as her and can only die miserably.
So Arty intends to use her power to do something good for this world. She couldn't keep watching people die horribly because of everything that happened.
The sound of the door opening snapped Arty out of his reverie. Erend came out of the door of his room with a calmer face. Even though he also felt restlessness like Arty but Erend could control his feelings better because of everything he had experienced so far.
"You ready?" Erend asked his sister with a smile, hoping to ease Arty's feelings.
"Yeah," Arty replied curtly. She tried to smile but Erend knew that behind that smile there was a lot of anxiety lingering in her heart.
"Don't worry. It's going to be okay," said Erend. "Let's go before Mom wakes up. The clones will be here soon."
Arty nodded and they left the house silently.
Their clones created by the Magic power of the Elves came shortly after and filled their places. This way their mother won't feel confused and worried when she wakes up and finds her two children not at home even before the sun lights the earth.

They returned to the former dojo building. Adrien and Billy didn't look much better than Erend and Arty. Anxiety was evident on their faces.
"Let's begin," Saeldir said. "Erend will go to those places first with Aurdis while we wait here until they place Magic Circles. And then, we will start teleporting."
Erend nodded.
"Do you have enough Magic energy to explore the whole world?" Arty asked her brother with a worried look.
"Of course," Erend answered easily and confidently. He was sure that he could travel around the world with his current amount of MP.
"I will increase his Magic energy if his own is not enough, Arty. Don't worry," Aurdis said to Arty with a smile.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Seeing her smile, Arty felt relieved.
"Please take care of him," Arty said.
"I will. And I will also create a veil so no one will see him fly as a Dragon."
"That's a good idea," said Billy. If anyone sees Erend flying in his Dragon form, they will definitely feel even more scared especially since Erend's Dragon form is like a greater monster to anyone who sees him.
Erend felt the same way. So he is grateful because Aurdis has thought of a solution for that.
"We'd better leave now," Erend said.
Erend and Aurdis came out of the dojo building. Arty who had never seen Erend's Dragon form fully followed them out driven by her curiosity.
Luckily the outer courtyard of the building was large enough to accommodate Erend's changes.
As soon as they were outside, Aurdis performed her Magic and silvery light started to envelop Erend's body and her own body.
"Just like old times," Erend said.
Aurdis nodded with a smile.
Erend activated his Skill.
[ Skill activated: Fire Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]
The red light that accompanied Erend's transformation was now invisible because it was muffled by Magic Aurdis. However, Arty who was still in the doorway could still see him.
Her mouth and eyes opened wide as the more-than-ten-meter-tall form of a Dragon appeared. His black and red scale reflected the sun that had just appeared slightly from the east.
With her Magic ability now Arty could feel how great Erend's power was after he turned into a Dragon right before her eyes.
Erend lowered his body and stretched his clawed hands forward. Aurdis jumped into his palm and sat down.
Afterward, Erend flapped his wings and immediately shot up with incredible speed, leaving Arty who kept looking up in awe at the doorway.
"That's your brother's power," Saeldir said.
As Arty turned her head, her gaze met the smiling Elf. Still reeling from witnessing Erend's transformation, her mind felt weightless, rendering her momentarily speechless in response to Saeldir's words.
Saeldir smiled seeing Arty's look that seemed at lost. Then he said. "Let's go back in and continue our task."
Arty just followed Saeldir back inside. Inside her Arty's head was still thinking something.
'My brother turned into that... thing. I can't imagine how mom's reaction will be if she finds out.'
~~~
They flew over the sky of the city of Ascan which was full of chaos. Erend observed what was under him. He wanted to land there in his current form and stop all the chaos from happening. But he can't do that, it will only make things worse.
Erend was still remembering about the place they had to go first. It was a place in the western part of the city of Ascan. It was the closest they could get to now.
With his flying speed, Erend could quickly reach that place. The distance that previously could only be covered after a few days due to the difficult terrain, now he can cover in half an hour.
Erend flew low, so he could easily see the large rock formations that were pierced in circles.
'That's the place.' Aurdis also saw the place.
Erend dived sharply in that direction while keeping his eyes on Aurdis in his palm so he wouldn't drop her.
After they landed, Erend put Aurdis down and returned to his human form.
"I will set the Magic circle now," Aurdis said.
Erend glanced around. This place is in the middle of the vast plains and so make it a quiet place. Nothing should bother them now.
However, the one of the Chaos Realm God will not give Erend a break.
