Chapter 23: Aurdis's Emergency Call
The night passed without anything happening. Billy was a little surprised to see Erend who suddenly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes on his bed. Billy waved his hand in front of Erend's face but he didn't see any reaction.
Billy decided he wouldn't bother him. Maybe that's what he should have done. Billy didn't want Erend to shoot him with fire from his mouth as he saw at the time.
Imagining it, Billy shuddered while moving away from Erend.
He chose to sleep in his bed. Erend suddenly opened his eyes and immediately jumped from his bed. Billy who almost closed his eyes was surprised and looked at Erend.
"What's wrong, man?" Billy asked.
"I have to go," said Erend.
"What are you talking about? Go where?" Billy was confused. Where is he going at this late night?
"The Elves are in danger."
Hearing this, Billy immediately got up to sit down.
"What happened?" Billy asked.
"An enemy has invaded the Palace. Aurdis contacted me directly and asked me to go there."
"Aurdis? The beautiful Elf princess is in danger?!" Billy looked worried.
"Yes! That's why I have to go." Erend had started to dress in a long t-shirt with a military print.
"Should I come along?" Billy asked.
"No need. I think I can handle it myself."
Erend remembers that he hasn't used the [Dragon Transformation] skill because his MP has run out. Now was the perfect opportunity to try out that Skill.
Billy frowned at Erend who was grinning while wearing his shirt.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Billy asked.
"Ah?" Erend who realized immediately returned his face to normal. "Nothing. I'll go now. If the lieutenant is looking for me, tell me the truth."
Erend immediately stormed out of the room without waiting for Billy to finish his words.
Billy just sighed. This all feels very strange. For five years they fought and hated the Elf race because they had made their lives miserable.
But now, it's as if it never happened and has been forgiven just like that. Just because Aurdis revealed the real truth.
Now Erend was even running out late at night to save the Elves. Among all the Elves, only Aurdis saw them in a favorable and equal sight.
The other Elves looked down on them and just wanted to take advantage of them.
Is the problem with the Elf going to be over so quickly? Billy thought the reason they helped the Elves get the key was to end the war. But why does Erend look so eager to help the race who has to give them this much trouble?
"Haahhh..." Billy took a deep breath, feeling conflicted.
But then again, he wasn't the one rushing to help the elves. So Billy closed his eyes and chose to sleep.

On the other hand, Erend ran among the remnants of the war towards the west where the Portal to the Elf world was located.
As soon as he got close, the Portal instantly opened and Erend jumped inside.
The Portal opened near the small palace where they had spent the past few days.
Erend looked around with his eyes wide open and full of anxiety. Around the palace, there were already the corpses of Elves and several other ugly creatures lying haphazardly.
Erend walked closer to the sound of the battle that was still echoing in the distance. Erend took out a large sword with a sharp spike from among the pile of strange creatures.
They are creatures with green skin and fat bodies. Erend thought for a moment that they were Goblins before realizing that the green color on their skin was much paler than Goblins.
Their bodies are also quite large. Probably about two meters in height. Unlike Goblins who have short and small bodies.
Erend ran cautiously towards the sound of the battle. He hid behind the wall and peeked.
The Elf soldiers were battling green creatures that were bigger than them.
The Elves were better at fighting. But the big green creature had far more numbers.
One Elf can fight two to three green creatures. Then, in the end, they were beaten to death.
No matter how great the Elves and their Magic-enhanced equipment were, they wouldn't be able to withstand nearly five times their number.
'Where's Aurdis?' Erend looked anxiously for Aurdis' whereabouts.
Suddenly, he heard a scream from beside him. Erend immediately jumped up and rolled backward. An ax hit the wall where he was hiding.
Erend looked up and saw the figure of the fat green creature.
"GRRRHHH..."
Erend jumped up and then swung his sword.
'DANGG!!!'
The creature raised its ax to block Erend's sword swing. He was pushed back and looked surprised.
Erend wasted no time and continued swinging his sword. Erend's speed made it difficult for the green creature so Erend could land a few slashes.
Erend cornered the creature until it tripped and fell backward. Erend used that opportunity to jump up and stabbed his sword into the creature's chest.
There was a hoarse and gurgling sound from the creature's throat which seemed to indicate that the soul was starting to leave the body.
Erend drew his sword. Then took the pale green creature's ax. Now Erend has weapons in both hands.
The ax was big. It may be almost a meter long with double blades. But in Erend's hand, the weight of the ax was no different from a small stick just like his other sword.
Feeling that he had no other choice, Erend also helped the Elves to fight the fat green creatures. One of the Elves in front of him was surprised to see Erend's arrival.
"Hi, what are they?" Erend asked.
But he realized that they couldn't communicate with each other without Magic. The elf said something but Erend didn't understand what he meant.
So he just shook his head and helped him fight the enemy.
On the other side of the palace, Aerchon was battling ten enemies at once. Behind him were Aurdis and Delirien who looked terrified.
