"Is it true?" Eccar asked. "Oh, no. That's very dangerous."
Eccar seemed unfocused. He stared at the reddish sand below but didn't really look at it.
Erend was still looking at him with a suspicious look and a furrowed brow. He still can't wrap his mind around this. A Dragonborn in the Chaos Realm? What kind of development is this?
For that reason, Erend couldn't trust Eccar even though he didn't feel an aura of danger from him. How can he trust a creature living in Chaos Realm?
"I can't find them. You know, in this place there are too many dangerous things that want to get out. I've tried to block them but... It turns out that there are still things that escape me," said Eccar with a disappointed face.
"Honestly, what are you doing here?" Erend asked.
From the look on his face and tone of voice, Eccar immediately knew that Erend was suspicious of him. He is almost ninety percent sure that Eccar is up to something.
Eccar just chuckled. Then looked at Erend with eyes that started to fill with a strange glint.
"I understand that you suspect me. But... I'm doing a very important job here and don't mean any harm," said Eccar. "As I said before, I'm keeping the troubles of this place from coming out. You have no idea how vast the Chaos Realm is. Every time that goes by this place is getting bigger and bigger."
"I don't understand," said Erend. "How did you get into this place? If you were a real Dragonborn."
Erend stared at Eccar while he looked at him too. They only looked at each other for a few moments in silence.
Erend could see a strange glint in Eccar's eyes that appeared suddenly. It feels like... madness, pain.
"I told you it was a long story," Eccar replied.
"Just tell me the gist of it," Erend demanded.
"Alright. So... uhh... I don't know how much time has passed since then. I volunteered to stay in this godforsaken place so that nothing like this happens."
Eccar chuckled dryly. "That's the short version of my story."
"How do I know that you are not one of those creatures of Chaos Realm?" Erend asked in a sharp tone, almost like an interrogation.
"You should know already, right?" Eccar said.
Erend paused. He had already felt that Eccar was a real Dragonborn, and he didn't feel like an evil being.
However, Erend still couldn't fully believe it.
"You know a way to get them out of my world?" Erend asked.
"Uhh…" Eccar scratched the back of his head, thinking. "Maybe you should beat them up yourself in this world. I can help you."
Eccar gave a smile that should have looked friendly but with his rough face, the smile seemed strange.
"How are you going to help me?" Erend asked. He must take as much help as he can get even if it comes from this unconvincing source.
"I can take care of you when you do that here. When you actually come in here all the nasty creatures here will flock to you. I can prevent them from bothering you so you can beat up any creatures that enter your world in peace. "
Erend nodded his head and said. "I need to find a creature named Svaros."
"Svaros…" Eccar frowned, trying to find that name in his too many memories. A few moments later Eccar said. "You mean... the God of the Fallen Beast?"
"Yes." Erend nodded. "He calls himself by that name."
Eccar chuckled. "Yeah, he is a very troublesome and stubborn creature. I know where he lives. Would you like to visit him now?"
Erend contemplated that matter. He still didn't have any preparations for now so this was too risky.
"No. Not now," Erend said. Even though he wanted to meet Svaros immediately and give him what he deserves, Erend couldn't take such a big risk for now. Moreover, he will fight him in his own domain.
Eccar nodded. "Fine. Just call me if you need anything."
"How do I contact you?"
"Just do it like how you do this right now."
Erend thought that he should just meditate and focus his mind on Eccar. So it's supposed to be pretty easy.
"Okay," Erend said.
Eccar smiled. "You can go back now."
Afterward, Erend saw everything around him become blurry. A moment later he was back in his room, sitting cross-legged and alone.
Erend thought about the meeting with Eccar earlier. Should he tell the others about this?
Erend can trust his friends for this. But this is something big. After all, this isn't something to be known as quickly as possible, is it?
'It's better to keep this to myself for now.'

Julius looked back at the window facing outside his infirmary at the military base. He could clearly see that all the chaos that had occurred had subsided drastically and could even be said to be almost gone.
He received news that the Dragonborn had placed a lot of artifacts to prevent the bad effects of Magic awakening and their effects. Unfortunately, Isadora's memory of her encounter with the Dragonborn disappeared due to the backlash that occurred due to her defeat.
Julius (Ozynk) knows that one of the three people who become his new bodyguard is the Dragonborn. But he is still not sure which one is him. He had to first determine which of the Dragonborn was and come up with a new plan.
His phone beeped indicating an incoming message. When Julius saw the message a smirk appeared on his face.
'We have full data on them, sir.'
Julius immediately pressed the button on his cellphone and opened the file he received. Then he looked at the data about the three people who had just become his bodyguards.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Julius already knew that the three of them had already been investigated by the intelligence agency and there was nothing suspicious about the three of them. But Julius knows more than them.
All his life, Ozynk knew there was one thing he could almost always use. That's family. It is very easy to get what he wants if he uses their family as a means to an end.
"Now, let's see if your Dragon power will be useful to save your loved ones."
A blackish glint flashed in Julius's eyes wondering what he would do next.

Although the problem has not been solved, they still have to carry out their daily lives.
Arty's school is closed until an unspecified day after the incident. Initially, the school insisted on keeping the school open for several days using the school building that was still intact.
However, the trauma caused by the monster attack was evidently still etched so tightly in the minds of both students and teachers. So, seeing no other solution, the principal decided to dismiss it for now.
Arty used this opportunity to train his Magic even harder at the dojo. This time she was alone because the others were busy with their own business.
Arty could already clearly feel how the Magic was coursing through every cell of her body. She too had become more and more familiar with this previously unfamiliar power after using it many times to place the stakes.
'Can I use it with my eyes open now?'
Arty tried to focus her mind on summoning the Magic on her body into her hands. She felt the hairs on her hands start to stand up from the force.
She smiled, guided by her mind which was filled with curiosity. Arty moved her two palms to face each other.
'Let's create uhh... lightning?'
*CZZT!*
Suddenly when she thought that a small electric spark appeared in the space between her palms. Arty flinched in surprise, but then an excited smile filled her face.
Arty focused her mind again, this time intending to create even more powerful lightning. She kept imagining what lightning would look like in her mind.
*CZZT!*
Accompanied by a widening smile and eyes filled with glinting excitement, Arty added a flow of Magic to her hands.
Until finally, she succeeded in creating lightning that connected her left palm and her right palm. She streamed more Magic until finally, the tendrils of lightning got bigger.
'Now, where should I throw this?'
As soon as he thought about that Arty's mind panicked. She felt the lightning in her hands getting stronger until she couldn't contain it anymore. Even the lightning was starting to make her hair stand up.
She turned towards the far end of the room, then threw the lightning there.
*BOOM!*
An explosion and scorch marks were created. Luckily it wasn't a huge bolt of lightning so it didn't instantly destroy the edge of the room it hit. But the impact was already quite astonishing for Arty.
When she got close to it and saw the charred marks, Arty was quite impressed by her abilities.
'Maybe now I can fight.'
Arty looked at her hands with a smile.
