I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 379  Have To Retreat

After they had done that, all they had to do now was to find out the truth of the information that Erend just gave.

The fact that they could acquire the memories of their clones was very convenient. That way they don\'t need to be clueless about what has happened to their clones. This Magic is so useful that Billy and Adrien want to learn it more than the ability to fight.

"So, the president has asked ten soldiers to be his personal bodyguards, huh," said Adrien. "That looks suspicious."

"Yeah, especially when he just woke up," Billy said.

"Unfortunately we are late." Erend shook his head in frustration. "The ten soldiers will be used by the creatures possessing the president by now."

Adrien turned to Erend. "It\'s still not certain if the president is actually possessed by those creatures, right?"

"I\'m almost certain, sir." Erend looked at Adrien with eyes that looked convinced.

Adrien sighed. "Well, this is bad indeed. But for now, we can only observe."

"I will attack when I see he is about to start something," Erend said. "We can\'t let everything we\'ve done go to waste."

"You want to attack the president?" Billy asked. "That sounds like a too rash plan, Erend."

Erend clicked his tongue in annoyance. "I know. But we have no choice. The creatures that possessed the president - if that\'s true - they\'re smart. The proof is that they possessed the president and weren\'t just focused on creating chaos."

Erend glanced at Billy and Adrien to emphasize how big of a problem this was.

"You\'re right. If they\'re smart enough to get their hands on the most powerful man in this country we can only imagine how big of a plan they have," Billy said.

"Alright, Drake," Adrien decided. "It looks like we really don\'t have a choice. But let\'s make sure first that the president is indeed possessed and not someone else first."

Erend and Billy nodded.

Julius opened his eyes. He was currently sitting cross-legged on the bed in the military base infirmary.

\'This is bad. That idiot Isadora... I never thought she could be so stupid.\'

The God of Chaos Realm that possessed Julius was now in a bad mood after learning the latest news from Isadora. They are not particularly good at working with each other, but they currently have the same goal, which is to rule this world. So, like it or not, they work together and share information.

Svaros is so difficult to work with and prefers to move on his own according to his beast lust. But that wasn\'t the shocking thing between the three of them. Svaros is always the stubborn one and the one who takes the most victims as well.

But this time even Svaros was forced back by the power that dealt him a heavy blow. Ozynk never imagined that Svaros would restrain himself from attacking his enemies.

But what bothered him the most was Isadora who had revealed their plan.

\'The Dragonborn is here. What\'s the best way to deal with it?\'

Ozynk can feel the power of the Dragonborn. He had heard of him from one of the Elves who was his worshiper. Ozynk didn\'t expect that he would also meet him in this world.

Somehow, the Dragonborn is the protector of two worlds and he has enough power to do so simultaneously. So Ozynk knew if he couldn\'t directly fight him in a direct confrontation or he would be the one who would suffer a loss because he couldn\'t fully manifest into this world.

\'But, even when I can fully manifest into this world I\'m not sure I can fight him in a direct confrontation.\'

Ozynk realized, the only thing he could do was avoid the Dragonborn. But, how could he avoid it if Isadora had already revealed her plan?!

Julius(Ozynk) sighed. Having no other choice, he had to restrain himself from this person\'s body and endure his plans for the time being. The Dragonborn is still not sure if he has possessed this person so he will keep it if he continues to think like that.

Ozynk withdrew his Magic from Julius\' body and left very little of his influence in the president\'s brain. Ozynk will not be able to infuse his Magic into the bodies of the ten soldiers he has acquired for now.

But that can wait for later until the right time comes. For now, he had to back off first.

There was a knock on Julius\'s infirmary door.

"Come in," said Julius.

General Lennard opened the door and said. "I\'m sorry to bother you, Mr. President."

"It\'s okay, Jacob. What\'s wrong?" Julius replied with a smile.

"Uhm, I wanted to make sure you\'re all right, sir. And... I\'d like to propose replacing three of the ten soldiers I\'ve ordered to be your bodyguards."

Julius frowned in surprise. "What\'s the problem?"

"I think I\'ve found three more suitable people to replace them, sir." General Lennard motioned for the three of them to enter.

Adrien, Erend, and Billy came into the room with a firm attitude. They saluted and stood perfectly still.

"Oh, so what you mean are the three heroes who have ended the war with the Elves?" Julius said, smiling. "But don\'t you need them to quell the riots, Jacob?"

"The riots that have occurred have decreased greatly, sir. Now we don\'t need to deploy too many soldiers to handle that. So I think they should be your personal bodyguards," General Lennard said.

Julius nodded. "Well, of course when the heroes who have contributed greatly to this country become my bodyguards, I feel more secure."

Adrien, Erend, and Billy stared at the president intently and almost unblinkingly from the moment they entered. But they didn\'t see or feel anything strange from him.

The three of them exchanged glances from that look, they could immediately understand each other\'s intentions.

General Lennard spoke briefly with Julius for a few minutes before finally leaving with Adrien, Erend, and Billy.

"How is it?" General Lennard asked as soon as they got to his room.

"We didn\'t feel anything, sir," Adrien replied.

General Lennard frowned. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. We are sure."

General Lennard seemed uneasy with that answer. He and Thomas initially convinced that there was something odd about the president so he allowed them to go in and check it out. As people who had been with the Elves, General Lennard hoped that the three of them could pick up some strange signs from the president.

But it turns out there isn\'t any. General Lennard didn\'t know whether he should be pleased or not because he himself was sure there was something wrong with the president.

"You guys still have to keep an eye on him once you start serving as his personal bodyguard," General Lennard said.

"We will, sir," Adrien replied.

After that, General Lennard said that they could get out. The faces of the three of them have the same expression, which is confusion.

"How the hell did we not sense anything?" Billy asked in a whisper.

"Maybe there aren\'t any creatures of Chaos Realm in his body," Adrien said.

"But..."

"She only said that they had infiltrated the most important people in our world. But she didn\'t say specifically who," Erend said.

"This makes everything more complicated. The fact is, those creatures could possess anybody who has power, either in this country or in other countries," Adrien said.

They all suddenly became silent for imagining the magnitude of that problem. All the stakes they had placed only served to reduce the madness and corruption levels of Magic awakening. But what if all the creatures from the Chaos Realm act and spread their evil corruption of Magic? Of course, those stakes wouldn\'t be very useful.

"Aurdis is trying to research the creatures of Chaos Realm, right? Let\'s wait for news from them," Erend expressed his suggestion. The only thing that makes sense as a solution, or at least to give them some hope.

"I guess you\'re right. We can only hope they find something quicker," Billy said.

~~~

And that\'s exactly what they do. Since Aerchon had agreed on everything they were doing, there was no reason for Aurdis and Saeldir to do it secretly.

Saeldir asked for the help of all his apprentices to help with the research. Of course, he had also given the proper explanation of what they were doing. And of course, orders to keep all this secret within their little circle.

It didn\'t take long for them to find something with that many hands working together. Late in the evening that day, they had discovered something.

"(I found a way to deal heavy damage to them,)" Saeldir said with a grin full of pride on his face.
