I Received System to Become Dragonborn

The storm of chaos intensified as Erend felt his power surge to greater heights, fueled by his boundless fury that feels like coming from somewhere else, but he don't have time to think about it for now.

Lightning erupted from his body, arcing in every direction. The violent crackle of lightning illuminated the battlefield as the black mist that enveloped him was obliterated in an instant by that.

The destruction didn't stop there. Trees that had already fallen were burned to cinders and the scorched earth cracked and smoldered as his relentless energy consumed everything it touched.

Erend jumped to his feet and his glowing eyes scanning the battlefield with seething rage. His lips curled into a feral snarl, baring sharp row of teeth, while the lightning coursing around his body grew wilder and stronger. The sizzling sounds of raw power of nature filled the air.

Suddenly, a streak of blackness cut through the remnants of the battlefield. Kale appeared as if emerging from the void itself. In a blink of an eye, his arm moved like a phantom blur, wielding a blade forged from darkness itself. The weapon sliced across Erend's neck with precision, leaving behind a trail of black smoke where the blade had struck.

Erend staggered slightly from the blow, his growl turning into a deep guttural rumble. But as Kale watched, his eyes narrowing in disbelief and dissapointment, it became clear the attack had not pierced the Dragonborn's scales.

"Its still too shallow!"

The shadowy blade had left only a faint slash mark, and even that seemed to shimmer and fade under the light of Erend's lightning-infused form.

Kale's frown deepened, irritation flickering across his face. He stepped back, his mind working quickly as he raised his hands. The shadows around him coalesced, dark tendrils swirling and twisting into grotesque forms. With a surge of his black energy, Kale began to summon creatures from the void itself.

One by one, monstrous figures materialized and towering over the battlefield. Each creature was unique. They are twisted amalgamations of nightmare and shadow, with sharp claws, gnarled horns, and glowing red eyes. Their size is the same as Erend's size.

"ROAR!"

Erend's growl deepened into a roar that shook the skies. The lightning dancing around his body flared brighter and his sharp gaze locked onto the shadowy monstrosities. One thought echoed in his mind. They all will fall under his claws.

Kale's smirk returned as he watched his creations surround the Dragonborn.

"Let's see how much power you truly have, Dragon!" he taunted.

The battlefield exploded into chaos as the new clash began. Erend's body crackled with wild lightning now, his power surging to a fever pitch.

His massive body blurred, moving with a speed that defied his size. In a literal blink of an eye, he vanished from his position then reappearing in front of Kale as if he had teleported.

Kale's eyes widened in shock, his composure momentarily broken by Erend's sheer speed. Reflexively, he conjured a swirling black mist shield that looks so dense and pulsing with shadow energy. Erend slammed his claw that surging with raw lightning into the shield with a deafening crack, shattering part of it and sending Kale hurtling backward several meters.

Kale steadied himself mid-air, his teeth gritted in frustration. The residual lightning from the strike coursed through his shield, dissipating with a hiss.

Without hesitation, Kale extended his hand, his voice rising in a command that resonated across the battlefield.

"Destroy him!" Kale ordered, his black mist beasts responding immediately.

The monstrous black creatures lunged toward Erend from all directions, their movements unnaturally fluid as if they were extensions of Kale's will. Claws and fangs glinted in the light and their grotesque shapes rippling with more shadowy energy.

Erend stood his ground, his glowing eyes narrowing as he watched them approach. His lightning flared brighter and the arcs crackling with a sharp and furious intensity. As the first beast leapt at him, Erend moved with deadly attack immediately.

With a swift swipe of his claw, the creature was torn apart mid-air, its shadowy form dissipating in a burst of black smoke in instant.

Another beast lunged at his side, but Erend spun with his uncanny agility, his tail whipping through the air and smashing the monster into the ground. The impact left a scorched crater, the beast reduced to nothingness.

The remaining creatures hesitated momentarily, their primal instincts battling against Kale's command. But Kale's voice cut through their hesitation like a blade.

"Keep going! Overwhelm him!"

So the beasts resumed their assault, attacking in waves. Erend roared, the sound spread through the battlefield and unleashed a massive burst of lightning in all directions. The energy exploded outward, frying several of the creatures instantly and carving deep burning trenches into the earth.

Kale hovered above, his frown deepening as he analyzed the situation. Despite his careful way and the power enhanced by Velthara's soul, it was clear that Erend's power was pushing his creations to their limits. But Kale was far from finished. He wouldn't let the Dragon win no matter what.

Kale began weaving his hands through the air, gathering more of the black mist into intricat writhing shapes.

The black mist converged and forming something larger and far more menacing. A single towering beast began to emerge from the void with body pulsing with concentrated shadow energy.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Its form was even more monstrous than the others, its claws like massive scythes and its eyes glowing with an ominous crimson light.

Erend's gaze shifted to the new foe, his snarl deepening as he prepared for the next wave. The storm of lightning around him grew wilder, matching the fierce desire to destroy that burning within his soul.

Kale's cold smirk returned as he extended his arm toward the towering shadow beast. His voice was sharp and commanding, resonating through the battlefield.

"Crush him!" he ordered.

The massive creature let out a roar. Its scythe-like claws shimmered with shadow energy, and dark, writhing tentacles erupted from its form, surging toward Erend with terrifying speed.

Before Erend could react, the tentacles ensnared him, coiling around his arms, legs, and torso. They tightened in a matter of seconds, locking his movements and pulling him off the ground. Lightning sparked and crackled around his body but the shadowy tendrils seemed to absorb much of the energy, dampening its impact.

Erend growled, thrashing against his restraints, but the tentacles held firm. His glowing eyes narrowed with fury, and the storm of lightning surrounding him dimmed momentarily as he struggled to break free.

Kale took advantage of the opening. He descended swiftly from the air with his shadowy blade gleaming with concentrated black energy.

He then slashed at Erend few times in quick succession, leaving deep marks across the Dragonborn's face and torso. Each strike unleashed bursts of black smoke that hissed against Erend's scales, the wounds were still shallow for now but tauntingly effective.

The pain was a flicker compared to the overwhelming anger that burned within Erend. He roared again but Kale was relentless. His blade danced like a shadow through the air, cutting into Erend again and again.

"Is this all the mighty Dragonborn can muster?" Kale taunted. "Pathetic. You're nothing but a relic of a dead legacy!"

The words only fueled Erend's rage. He bared his teeth, his body trembling as he fought against the shadowy restraints. Then, something changed.

The lightning around Erend, once brilliant blue and white, began to shift in color. It darkened then turning into an ominous blood-red hue.

The sizzling sounds of raw energy grew louder, more ferocious, as the red lightning crackled and surged with an intensity that made even Kale hesitate.

Erend's head snapped upward, his glowing eyes now tinged with the same red energy, though the blue color is still there. His snarl deepened into a growl that seemed to echo from the depths of a soul of furious creature beyond comprehension.

The shadowy tentacles holding him began to sizzle and burn, the red lightning coursing through them with destructive power stronger than before. Kale didn't know that it was possible.

"What… is this?" Kale muttered, his smirk faltering as he watched the transformation happen in front of his eyes.

With a primal roar, Erend's power erupted outward in a violent surge. The red lightning consumed the shadowy tendrils in an instant, disintegrating them into nothingness.

The towering shadow beast staggered backward, its tentacles retracting as it recoiled from the sheer force of Erend's newfound strange power.

Erend landed heavily on the ground, his body brimming with the furious red and blue lightning now. His eyes locked onto Kale who now hovered in the air with a flicker of unease in his gaze.

"You think this is all I got?" Erend growled.

The battlefield was silent for a moment, save for the crackling of Erend's red lightning. The air grew heavier, the storm of chaos around them growing darker and more intense. The tide of the battle had shifted.
