"(Everything has gone according to plan,)" An Ogre was talking to someone covered by a black robe.

But the black robe didn't just cover their body. The figure seemed to be a living and animate robe. There wasn't any feature to indicate that within the robe there was another creature wearing it. No curves, no visible skin, and no recognizable voice.

"(Black Robe,)" the ogre said. "(How did you do that? I know how strong the Defense of this Elf palace is.)"

The figure he called Black Robe didn't turn but they give an answer, "(You don't need to know about that.)"

The ogre stared at the Black Robe from behind with a look filled with curiosity. But in the end, he gave up because he couldn't possibly know the truth behind the black robe he was wearing.

The two of them stared from a distance at the Palace which was about to collapse.

The shattered magic shield made the elves frenzied. Especially without their leader.

The ogre glanced at the Black Robe once more. They attacked when Aerchon left with his best Elf troops.

No one would know about that information other than the residents inside the palace.

The Ogre judged that the possibility of the Black Robe being an Elf was quite high. But he didn't say anything.

This is all quite strange.

Suddenly, five years ago the figure of the Black Robe came to them and said that the key to the Fountain of Eternity had been lost from the possession of the Elves so that they could not enter to fetch water from the Fountain.

Of course, the Ogres would use that opportunity to launch their attacks on the Elves. A race that had been their mortal enemy for a very long time.

Black Robes turned their head towards the west. They saw a darting carriage pulled by three horses. Beneath their hood, the figure was actually grinning. The plan is going well.

"Okay, now what should we do?" Erend finally chose to help Aurdis. He didn't do it to help the Elves. He just wanted to help Aurdis specifically.

Aurdis does have an extraordinary heart. Erend had never seen anyone with a heart as good as Aurdis.

She not only helps them, the humans who are in trouble, but she is also very responsible as a Princess.

She could just run away now and leave the other Elves in this palace. But she didn't do that. Audis stay, and choose to fight. How could Erend ignore it?

"Are you sure?" Aurdis asked while looking at Erend.

"Yeah," Erend answered as he looked towards the main gate of the palace, where the sound of weapons booming to destroy the gate was heard.

Erend could also see the head of one of the green giants.

"It's possible that I can finish off an army. Who knows?" Erend said while shrugging his shoulders.

Aurdis looked at Erend with mixed eyes. But then she decides to trust Erend because she knows what that man can do.

Erend opened Systema before his eyes at this time. Aurdis of course couldn't see that.

Erend opened the Skill List available for him.

[ <<Fire Dragon Skill List>> ]

[ Fire Dragon Physiology. ]

[ All Fire-Based Power ]

Then Erend contacted Tut through his mind.

'Tut, I want to take Fire Dragon Physiology, now.'

[ "Yes. You have enough Skill Points to have it." ] Tut said. [ "Do you want to get this skill now?" ]

'Yes.'

[ "Very Well, then." ]

Not long after, a notification immediately appeared in front of Erend's eyes.

[ New Skill Obtained: Fire Dragon Physiology (Lv.1) ]

Erend nodded in satisfaction after getting the notification.

"What are you doing?" Aurdis asked.

"I just got a new power," Erend replied with a smirk at Aurdis.

Aurdis frowned, confused. "New power?"

Erend shook his head, "That's not important now. What's important now is what do you want to do?"

"I will go to Saeldir and try to recover the magic shield of this palace," Aurdis replied.

Erend nodded. "Okay. You do that, and I'll buy some time."

Aurdis looked at him. "I don't know how long this will take. I don't even know if it will work or not."

"Let's just try our best for now," Erend simply said.

Aurdis nodded. "You're right. Come on!"

The two of them immediately moved. Aurdis headed to the room where the Magic shield core was.

Meanwhile, Erend headed for the front of the Palace where the battle to defend the gate was taking place.

As soon as he arrived at the front gate, Erend saw that there were already a few cracks in the wall protecting the front of the Elf Palace.

He spread his eyes to look around and saw that the Elves were fighting the Ogres who had jumped into the interior of the wall by climbing over the shoulders of the green giants.

The Elves seemed to be able to handle the Ogres with ease. The combat power of the Elves is indeed superior to that of the Ogres.

But Erend didn't know if the same situation would still occur when the wall was broken down and the troops waiting outside finally came inside.

An Elf shouted while looking at Erend. He was the Elf guard who was with him when fighting the Daemons of Calamity who entered by digging the back garden at that time.

Erend didn't understand what he was saying so he just shook his head. Then the Elf made a gesture by slashing and thrusting his sword.

Erend nodded after knowing what he meant. At least in general.

"Yes," Erend said.

The Elf also didn't understand the meaning of Erend's words but he also nodded. Then proceeded to slash at the Ogre that was charging toward him.

Erend knew that their biggest problem right now was the green giants. So he had to kill them first.

Erend ran towards the gate and then activated the Skill he just got.

[ Skill activated: Fire Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]

Red light and heat appeared and created a shockwave that spread out in all directions.
