I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 316 The Cause Of Hesitation

Eliril. A forbidden name to be said by the Elves in the palace.

Actually, it is not a written rule. But all the Elves in the palace agreed that Eliril would not be mentioned again because it was considered a disgrace to them.

Of course, Aurdis thought so too. Even though she didn't really like the idea but she also had no intention of going against it.

That was before she met Erend.

"What are you going to do now?" Conrad asked. "Are you going to kill me?"

Aurdis didn't know how to answer that question for now.

She didn't want to kill him unless she had to. And now that Contad can no longer fight, killing him is no longer something necessary.

She just needed to remove his ability to use Magic. But Aurdis became doubtful when she saw what happened to Saeldir.

If she tried to get rid of his Magic, the chances were very high that she would suffer the same fate as Saeldir.

'This is hard.'

Aurdis bit her lower lip. If Erend was here maybe he could solve this problem because he is a Dragonborn.

But Erend is not here now. So she can't expect him.

'I can't take any more risks'

Aurdis decided not to think any longer because that would just be a waste of time. So she decided to take Saeldir away from here with her Magic.

Aurdis stretched her hand towards the unconscious Saeldir. Her ring and bracelet gave off a faint silver glow which also immediately enveloped Saeldir's body.

Saeldir's body then lifted and floated before her.

"You want to take him away?" Conrad asked.

Aurdis looked at him. Decided not to answer. Instead, she said her own question.

"Where is she now?"

Conrad was seen clenching his jaw. "Why do you want to know where she is? So you can hunt her like a dog again?"

There was a pressure of anger building up in Conrad's voice. Even though he looked exhausted, Aurdis seemed sure that he could suddenly jump up and attack her.

"Just tell me where she is now. That way I will be able to help her," Aurdis said.

Conrad let out a weak, mocking laugh.

"Help her? You?" Conrad said. "I know what you guys did to her just because she isn't of pure Elf descent. All of that makes me hate your kind from the bottom of my heart."

Aurdis just kept quiet and stared at him.

"I won't tell you where she is."

Aurdis and Conrad stared at each other for a few moments amidst the deafening sound of the alarm and the ruined room.

Then, not wanting to waste any more time and having nothing to say, Aurdis used her Invisibility Magic again.

After that, she came out of the room through a hole in the wall.

Conrad could only stare at the moving gravel caused by Aurdis' steps.

His fists clenched and so did his jaw.

'How dare she ask about Eliril's whereabouts after everything they did to her!

If only he still have his strength, Conrad would definitely use it to kill them.

But now Conrad felt that all his strength was gone.

That Elf girl must have decided not to do anything to him because she didn't want to suffer the same consequences as that Elf man.

It was a stroke of luck for Conrad. Because he wasn't sure that he would be able to do anything to stop her if she wanted to.

So Conrad can only be grateful for what he got now. He still had his Magic power and most importantly, he was still alive.

Conrada leaned his head against the wall and stared at the ceiling. All the vibrations and rumbling sounds around him only became the background inside Conrad's head.

'Looks like I'm going to sleep for a while.'

Conrad began to close his eyes and let his consciousness lose amidst the noises.

Aurdis carried Saeldir who was floating behind her. But she still doesn't know where she should take him.

Around her, people who still couldn't leave for some reason were running around in panic. She kept trying to avoid them. Everything became more difficult when she was going through a narrow corridor.

Aurdis' thoughts were also divided between Billy and Adrien who now had to fight without her.

From here she could only hope that the rings she gave them could take good care of them.

Finally, Aurdis found a quiet room. She entered there while carrying Saeldir and closed the door of the room. She didn't forget to put a seal on the door to keep everyone from going inside.

Aurdis put Saeldir on the floor and looked back at his state. She put her hands on top of Saeldir's body.

It didn't take long for Aurdis to feel the presence of powerful magic in Saeldir's body.

'This is Druid's Magic. Do I have an antidote for something like this?'

Druid Magic is Magic that is basically related to forests and plants. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

What was in Saeldir's body now was some kind of poison in Magic form and not in physical form.

Only the Druid race could perform Magic like this. Even the Elves were still inferior to them regarding Magic derived from plants.

Even though it was almost the same as a curse, it required a different handling to overcome it.

Aurdis immediately searched in her cloth bag in hopes of finding something that could help Saeldir.

After a while, she searched, and Aurdis still couldn't find it. It made her heart accelerate in panic.

But when she found an orb the size of a green golf ball, Aurdis breathed a sigh of relief.

'Fortunately, I didn't forget to bring this!'

Inside the orb was some kind of liquid with a bright green color. When seen by the naked eye the liquid was like a green mist that was constantly swirling in there by the wind.

Aurdis gripped the orb with both of her hands. Then start concentrating.

Soon, the green mist in the orb came out. Aurdis directed the green mist to Saeldir's body with her hand.

The green mist entered Saeldir's nose because he was inhaled by his short breaths. Aurdis of course also tried to insert the green mist with her Magic.

About a minute later all the green mist was absorbed into Saeldir's body. The green mist immediately shows its effect.

Saeldir's face, which was so pale before, began to regain its color. His stiff body was also starting to relax.

Saeldir finally opened his eyes and looked at Aurdis. Even though he couldn't open it too wide yet, it was enough to give the impression that he was much better.

Seeing that, Aurdis heaved a sigh of relief.

Saeldir was silent for a few moments. From his face, Aurdis could tell that he was thinking.

Maybe he was rethinking what happened to get him to this stage.

"It's Eliril's Magic," Saeldir said. "Thanks for coming just in time."

Aurdis just nodded. Then ask. "You think Eliril knew this was going to happen and set that trap for us?"

Saeldir tries to get up. But in the end, he fell again. So he chose to just lie down.

"That is a possibility," Saeldir replied.

"I don't think she's going to be a problem anymore," Aurdis said.

"She must be holding a grudge against us. Maybe it was she who suggested that man bring our Magic to this world."

Aurdis felt that Saeldir's words made sense. That could be Eliril's way of getting revenge on them.

"What now?" Aurdis asked. "Can we still dispel get rid of that man's Magic?"

Saeldir did not immediately answer. He thought while looking up before he could finally come up with an answer.

"We can't."

Aurdis shot a glance at Saeldir. She wanted to say that they had to do it.

However, based on what she saw and how Saeldir had to think for a long time before starting to speak, Aurdis swallowed back her words.

"It's a good thing you brought the Dawnwood Forest Essence with you," said Saeldir. "Otherwise I would have died."

Aurdis winced. "The effect of Eliril's Magic is that bad?"

"Yes. Believe me. I felt it myself. Now I'm almost out of Magic energy because I've been using it to slow down the process of damage to my body."

Aurdis couldn't imagine how it felt to be affected by that Magic. If Saeldir thought he was about to die, what about her?

"What about Billy, Adrien, and Erend?" Saeldir asked.

Aurdis's face showed worry. "I left Billy and Adrien to come to you."

"And Erend?"

"I don't know where he is now," Aurdis said, shaking her head.

"But you feel it too, right?" Saeldir asked.

Aurdis looked at him and nodded. "It was a big fight."

"We won't be able to face him. He has been corrupted by too much Magic from that cursed tree," Saeldir replied. "For now only Erend can face him."
