I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 361 One More To Rescue





They saw everyone who had turned into monsters rushing towards them. Ferocity and savagery radiated clearly in their bloodshot red eyes.

Erend was the first to come forward to face them head-on. When he saw the changes that had taken place in their bodies, Erend knew that these people could no longer be saved. There is only one way to stop them. That is by killing them and destroying their bodies.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

*SWOOSSHH!*

Erend didn't even bother to use his rifle. He unleashed a wave of fire that rushed toward everyone who had turned into monsters.

A deafening scream filled the corridor. The screams were a mash-up of several tens of humans engulfed in Erend's flames. Now maybe even the attack has been heard outside this hospital because of the broken windows in several parts.

Erend kept his fire out for a few moments because he could still see some of the monsters writhing in agony. Until finally, He had just put out the fire when he saw that there were no more monsters left.

His fire is very strong even though Erend hasn't released its full potential, in just a few seconds he can kill all those monsters.

When the flames disappeared, several tens of monsters were lying on the floor with their bodies burnt. The smell of burning flesh and smoke filled the room. Luckily some of the windows were broken so the smell and smoke could move outside immediately.

"Fuck, man!" Billy commented. "Your power is terrible. You burned all those patients!"

"They can't be helped anyway," Erend said lightly. "Better to end their suffering as soon as possible, right?"

Billy and Adrien nodded. They are used to battlefields and death, so there are no longer long moral debates in their hearts. Humans will die eventually and they are no strangers to it. If they could end those people's suffering by killing them, they wouldn't mind.

"Let's move on," Adrien said.

Erend and Billy nodded. They walked while stepping on the burnt corpses of monsters on the floor. A sound like when they stepped on something muddy was heard and realizing they were stepping on melted flesh made them wince. They used to be human, but now they are reduced to burned meat paste.

After walking for a while in the corridors they finally found the room where General Lennard and the president were.

Adrien knocked on the door. "General, we have arrived."

There was the sound of slow footsteps coming from inside the room. There are two pairs of steps.

Then the sound of objects being lifted and shifted was heard. After that, the door latch was opened. General Lennard's face appeared in the thin slit he opened with the gun at his side.

"How many people are on your team?" General Lennard asked.

"There are three of us here. The rest are waiting down there to clear the situation," Adrien answered.

"Three?" General Lennard looked taken aback. "Did you guys see... anything? Something filling this place?"

Adrien could clearly see that General Lennard was frightened. Adrien said. "When we got here they were all dead, sir."

General Lennard frowned. "What?"

"Something... it seems there is something stronger than those who killed these monsters."

"So... are the ones in this room really monsters?" General Lennard looked pale.

"We have to get out of here, General. Where's the president?"

General Lennard still hadn't returned from the shock of hearing Adrien's words about something more powerful than all the creatures appearing here. He also smelled the pungent smell of something burning which meant that anything that had killed the creature that was previously in this corridor could emit fire.

General Lennard felt the pounding in his heart grow louder.

"General!" Adrien demanded. "We must hurry!"

"O-Oh, you're right. Come on in."

Adrien, Erend, and Billy entered the room. There they saw President Julius lying on the bed. They also saw one more person they didn't recognize.

Without asking much more, they put the president on the stretcher and took him to the elevator, and brought him down.

Erend, Billy, and Adrien are sure that there are no more monsters in this hospital. Some of the monsters had left the hospital and the rest that had gathered in front of General Lennard's room and the president were dead.

They descended floor by floor with a feeling of rage that continued to surround them, they thought that maybe there would be monsters attacking when they were stuck there.

But it turns out their journey went smoothly until they arrived downstairs. They immediately came out and took the president out.

The six soldiers who should have been waiting for them here had met an unexpected fate. They were all lying on the floor, they had become corpses with slashed necks, stab wounds, and other fatal injuries that ended their lives.

"Shit," Adrien cursed. He hoped that by placing them here they would be kept out of harm's way. But in the end, what he did was pointless. These soldiers still died from something they didn't even understand.

"We have to hurry," said Adrien.

They shoved the president into the jeep they used to come here. But suddenly someone, or rather something landed in front of them with a thump; making them jump back with wide eyes.

"What's that?" Thomas asked.

What was in front of them was a thin human figure of medium height. He turned slowly towards them. At first glance, the man looks like a normal human, but no normal human can jump and land from a high place as if it was nothing.

Coupled with the horrible grin that appeared on his mouth, that man was one of the patients who turned into monsters after Magic awakened in his body as evidenced by the patient clothes he was wearing.

"Shoot him!" General Lennard ordered.

General Lennard, Adrien, Billy, and Erend started to open fire on the man.

Their shots echoed in the previously deserted area of ​​the hospital.

However, the man just grinned facing all the bullets that rained down on him. He raised his hand and created a dark red energy dome that blocked all the bullets they fired.

"What..." Thomas was dumbfounded. He was actually looking at the man using Magic right now. 'Did I see it correctly? How come...'

Then Thomas remembered that Conrad was still in the hospital, lying in his own room.

The man suddenly lunged at Thomas. As if the reason why he chose Thomas as his target, it was completely random.

Thomas, who was looking at the hospital building because he remembered Conrad, didn't know that he was in danger.

The man moved so fast and suddenly he was in front of Thomas, he swung his fingernails which extended to form claws towards Thomas' neck. A savage grin formed on his lips because in a little while he would get another victim.

However, Erend's hand grabs his hand a few millimeters before his long fingernails reach Thomas' neck. The man turned his head and looked at Erend in surprise. But Erend sent a fist toward the man's face, sending him flying backward.

*BUAGH!*

The man only stopped when he hit the wall of another building. He slumped to the ground limply.

General Lennard and Thomas couldn't process what had just happened because they were still in shock. And Erend's speed was so extraordinary, that they couldn't see that he had actually just knocked the man flying backward.

"What just happened?" General Lennard asked.

"Something . . . sent him flying there, sir," Erend said. "We have to hurry. There may be other monsters that will appear here."

Hearing that General Lennard and Thomas immediately continued towards the jeep; they didn't want to delay any longer and face another monster.

But Thomas thought he can't go just yet.

"Wait," Thomas said. "There's someone we need to save over there."

"Who?" he asked.

"His name is Conrad. He's a... A friend of mine," Thomas answered.

Adrien, Erend, and Billy looked at each other. They had a guess as to who exactly the person Thomas was referring to was.

"I will save him, Captain," Erend said.

"Alright." Adrien nodded quickly as if he didn't think about any consequences of Erend's actions. Because he knows that Erend is more than capable of dealing with it.

"Are you sure you want to send your fruit in there again, Boartusk?" General Lennard asked.

"Yes sir. He is a strong soldier. I'm sure he can do it," Adrien said.

General Lennard said nothing more. He just wanted to quickly leave that place right now.

"Thank you. I will tell you where you can find my friend." Thomas then showed me the room Conrad was in.

He hoped that Conrad would still be okay even though this situation seemed impossible.

After knowing that, Erend immediately returned to the hospital while they left in a hurry by the order of the General.

General Lennard doesn't care much about Erend's safety. After all, Adrien who was his superior agreed to his decision.
