I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 649 Mist And Vines

The explosion from their fight with Thalrok echoed across the land. It was a cataclysmic sound that shattered the eerie stillness in this early world. Waves of fire and lightning had rippled to all sides, consuming the surrounding forest and leaving a smoldering ruin in their wake. Even now, though the battle against Thalrok was over, the aftershocks of their power continued to ripple through the environment and was impossible to ignore.

Few hundreds kilometers from the battlefield, two figures who standing on their own rerspective place stirred, drawn by the chaos.

The woman in the emerald green coat stood amidst a grove of colossal trees. At her feet lay a massive green skeleton, its hollow sockets glowing faintly with green light. Her hands hovered above it, tendrils of vibrant green energy flowing from the skeleton into her body.

Her face twisted into a grimace as she glanced at the horizon where the fiery glow of Thalrok's battle had illuminated the sky moments ago. Now, the light was gone, replaced by dark plumes of smoke that signaled his defeat. She can't feel it Thalrok's presence anymore.

She gritted her teeth. "They've extinguished the Thalrok's fire. This wasn't supposed to happen so soon."

Her thought was filled with frustration but also a flicker of worry. Her connection with the skeleton beneath her deepened as she concentrated, the vibrant energy surging faster. The remains responded as a faint whispers of the god's power that still clinging to the huge bones.

"Come on," she muttered, her fingers curling as though to grasp the elusive energy. "Faster."

Meanwhile, far enough away to be out of earshot but close enough to sense the disturbance, a man in a navy-blue coat stood by the edge of a turbulent river. His coat billowed in the breeze, mirroring the cascading waves beneath him.

Another massive skeleton laying in front of them. This one shrouded in a misty aura that ebbed and flowed like the tides. The skeleton's aura pulsed faintly, responding to the man's methodical gestures as he worked to draw its energy into himself.

He paused, glancing towards the horizon. The tremors in the ground and the sudden extinguishing of the fire made his chest tighten with unease.

"This isn't good," he muttered, his calm demeanor betrayed by a flicker of anxiety in his expression. The process of absorbing the god's essence was taking longer than anticipated. He could only hope it would be complete before the Dragonborns arrived.

Erend and Eccar soared through the skies. Their massive Draconic forms casting shadows over the earth below. The forest stretched far and wide. Yet, despite the immense area, their keen Dragon eyes scanned relentlessly for signs of their next targets.

"Where are they?" Eccar growled. His wings beat with powerful strokes, propelling him faster. "This place is too vast. We can't waste time."

Erend's electric blue scales glimmered as he surged ahead beside him.

"We'll find them," he replied. "We just need to move quickly. I'm sure they already feel us coming."

The two Dragonborn streaked through the air, their speed leaving trails of energy in their wake. Every second was precious; the gods they was looking for would undoubtedly be preparing, and any delay could tip the balance against them.

Back in the grove, the woman in the green coat clenched her fists as the skeleton beneath her shuddered, its glowing sockets brightening momentarily. She closed her eyes, steadying her breath, and resumed her focus.

The energy she absorbed filled her veins like a torrent of ancient power that seemed to sing with the life of the forest itself. She could not afford to let her concentration waver.

"They'll come for us next," she murmured, her green eyes snapping open. "Come on!"

At the riverbank, the man in the navy-blue coat straightened. The mist around the skeleton intensified, swirling as though responding to his growing connection.

He glanced once more towards the sky, the faint trails of energy from the Dragonborns' flight becoming visible to his sharp gaze.

"They're coming," he said to himself.

---

Few minutes later, just as the gods' absorption neared its critical stage, a thunderous roar shook the heavens. Eccar descended first, his wings casting immense shadows over the grove. The Dragonborns have found their targets.

The woman in green turned to face him, her expression shifting into one of cold resolve.

"You shouldn't have come to that world. You should just stay hide," she said, her voice now changed and filled with the raw power now coursing through her. "This wasn't your fight. But this twisted fate eventually brougt you here. To you end."

Eccar landed, his claws gouging deep into the earth.

"Anything that threatens this worlds is my fight," he growled.

---

Erend also landed on another place. His piercing gaze locked onto the man by the river, whose aura now matched the rising waves behind him.

The man in the navy-blue coat met Erend's gaze, unflinching.

The gods begin to unleashed their incomplete power.

The woman in the emerald green coat, Lyrandis, clenched her jaw. The vibrant green light coursing into her body pulsated erratically. She was so close, but not close enough.

Eccar loomed over her in his full draconic majesty and charge at her. His claws gouged into the earth as he advanced. His eyes blazed with determination as he glared at the defiant goddess before him.

Lyrandis straightened, her emerald coat flaring as she drew the partially absorbed energy into a tangible force. The air around her twisted and shimmered with green aura. Tendrils of green energy coiled around her arms like serpents.

Eccar roared in replied, his voice caused the earth to tremble and cracks to spiderweb through the ground. Without hesitation, he lunged, his massive wings propelling him forward. The impact of his claws against Lyrandis' shield of energy sent shockwaves rippling outward, uprooting nearby trees and scattering debris.

Lyrandis retaliated, her energy tendrils lashing out like whips. Though her power was incomplete, it was enough to force the Earth Dragon to stay on the defensive for now.

Meanwhile, by the riverbank, Erend and the man in the navy-blue coat faced each other in a deadly standoff. The man, Caelith have mist surged around him like a living entity, amplifying the aura of power radiating from his form. His eyes locked onto Erend.

Erend's Lightning Dragon form standing ready. Electric-blue scales crackled with arcs of lightning that danced across his body. The storm clouds above churned and rumbled, mirroring the raw energy emanating from him.

Without a word, Erend struck first, unleashing a torrent of lightning from his maw. The bolt carved through the air, splitting the mist as it raced toward Caelith.

But the man was ready. The mist around him condensed, forming a barrier that absorbed the brunt of the attack. The ground where the lightning struck exploded, sending shards of rock and sprays of water into the air.

Caelith retaliated. The mist coalesced into massive tendrils that lashed out at Erend, attempting to ensnare his limbs. Erend roared, twisting in the air to avoid the assault.

His tail whipped around, striking the ground with enough force to send a shockwave rippling through the battlefield. The river surged violently, its waters crashing against the banks in chaotic waves.

The two clashed. Erend's lightning illuminated the battlefield in bursts of electric fury while Caelith's mist ebbed and flowed like an unyielding tide, smothering and redirecting each lightning strike. The sheer destructive force of their battle left the land in ruin, with charred earth and swirling waters marking their struggle.

---

Back in the grove, Lyrandis' frustration mounted. Despite her best efforts, the energy she had absorbed was still incomplete, leaving her vulnerable to Eccar's relentless assault. She gritted her teeth, summoning a massive wave of green energy that erupted from the ground, forming a protective barrier of thorns and vines.

Eccar snarled, his claws ripping through the barrier with brute force. His arms swung like a battering ram, shattering the natural defenses as he pressed his advantage. Each strike from him have incredible strength behind it and it driving Lyrandis further back.

Lyrandis smirked despite her predicament, her eyes gleaming with defiance.

With a sweep of her arms, the grove came alive. Massive roots erupted from the ground, snaking toward Eccar with alarming speed. They coiled around his limbs, anchoring him in place.

Lyrandis raised her hands and the energy coursing through the roots intensified, sending pulses of green light into Eccar's body.

Eccar roared in annyance, his scales crackling as he summoned his strength. With a mighty heave, he tore free from the roots, the sheer force of his movement creating a shockwave that flattened the surrounding vegetation. His eyes burned as he charged at Lyrandis once more.

At the riverbank, Erend and Caelith's battle happening. Erend's attacks grew more ferocious and fast, his strikes coming faster and harder. But Caelith's control over the mist was also amazing, his defensive maneuvers keeping him just out of reach.

"You're persistent, Dragon!" Caelith said, his voice calm but full of disdain.

Summoning his full power, Erend unleashed a storm of lightning that blanketed the battlefield. The river erupted in a cascade of steam and electricity, obscuring everything in a blinding haze.

Caelith's mist churned violently, struggling to maintain its form against the overwhelming force.

Suddenly, a huge pillar of lightning surged forward, separating the wall of mist.
