The pink slime has officially become Erend's subordinate. It was that easy, he had already obtained a subordinate of a monster.
But Erend wasn't too happy after a while. The slime doesn't look strong when he looks at it. If Erend wants to make it as a collection or pet, maybe it's suitable. But Erend didn't need that. He needed strong subordinates to help him fight.
"Can I subdue Goblin?" Erend asked.
[ "Of course. But Goblins are a bit smarter than regular monsters so you need more effort." ]
Erend grimaced. "It looks troublesome."
Portals open. Erend stepped inside and returned to his room. The time he spent on the Daily Quest wasn't too long.
When Erend came back there was still no one in his room. Erend took a shower.
After bathing and being cleaned by the battle stains earlier, Erend added the Status Points and Skill Points he got.
Erend opened his Status Window while sitting on the bed.
[ Name: Erend Drake ]
[ Level: 5 ]
[ Race: Dragonborn ]
[ Exp: 0/50 ]
[ HP: 10/10 ]
[ MP: 60 ]
[ Strength: 20 ]
[ Agility: 13 ]
[ Stamina: 10 ]
[ Defense: 12 ]
[ Vitality: 10 ]
[ Intelligence: 10 ]
[ Magic Resist: 10 ]
[ 3 Status Points Available. ]
"What is Intelligence? Is it related to my intelligence?" Erend asked Tut.
[ "The intelligence in your Status Window is related to your intelligence in terms of Magic. How you can see and observe magical items, read magic symbols, etc. Anyway, anything related to Magic. It also affects your MP." ]
Hearing Tut's explanation, Erend's eyebrows rose. "Wow, that's pretty cool. So I'll be able to use Magic like the Elves?"
[ "You can already use Magic. You think turning into a Dragon isn't Magic?" ]
"I think that's the power of Systema." Erend frowned in surprise.
[ "Systema is just a 'tool' to make your body adapt to those power. Systema is like a 'key' that unlocks those powers for you. But those powers have been there since the beginning." ]
Erend thought. Confusion was evident on his face. But he knew better than questioning it over and over was pointless.
Tut wouldn't want to explain and even if he understood, Erend wouldn't be able to use that knowledge for anything. Now what was important was that he had that power and could use it.
Erend shrugged and continued to add Status Points. Based on Tut's explanation, Intelligence will be something very important.
"I will add 1 Point to Intelligence."
[ Intelligence: 11 ]
"Then 1 Point for Vitality, and 1 Point for Stamina."
[ Vitality: 11 ]
[ Stamina: 11 ]
"And... I think I'm done for now." Erend heaved a sigh of relief.
[ Name: Erend Drake ]
[ Level: 5 ]
[ Race: Dragonborn ]
[ Exp: 0/50 ]
[ HP: 10/10 ]
[ MP: 60 ]
[ Strength: 20 ]
[ Agility: 13 ]
[ Stamina: 11 ]
[ Defense: 12 ]
[ Vitality: 11 ]
[ Intelligence: 11 ]
[ Magic Resist: 10 ]
[ 0 Status Points Available. ]
Erend nodded, satisfied seeing his Status Window.
[ "You don't want to add Skill Points?" ]
"Hmmm... I think I'm strong enough with Level 1 right now. Maybe I'll add it later if the situation requires me to."
[ "Dragon Transformation Skill Set has been completed. The new Skill Set is now available." ]
Erend frowned upon hearing Tut's words. "What do you mean?"
Before Erend's eyes, a new Window opened.
[ Elemental Dragon Skill Set is available! ]
[ Fire Dragon Skill set. ]
[ Water Dragon Skill set. ]
[ Wind Dragon Skill set. ]
[ Earth Dragon Skill set. ]
Erend stared with wide eyes at everything before his eyes. "Okay, Tut. Explain to me what this is all about."
[ "This is the second basic Skill set after you get Dragon Transformation. From the name you should be able to guess clearly what it is. Depending on what you choose, then you will get power based on that element. Also, don't worry, once you choose one, the others will not be lost." ]
"Oh, so I just have to decide which one I want to learn first?"
[ "Yes." ]
"Other Skills Set will still be available later?"
[ "Yes." ]
"Okay." Erend nodded his head.
[ "Everything depends on you." ]
Erend was silent to think for a while. But it didn't take long, he had already made his choice.
"I will choose Fire Dragon. Just because I think at this time the fire ability is the most powerful for fighting," Erend said.
[ "All natural elements have their strengths and weaknesses." ]
"I know. I just don't want to think too much about it. These Skill Sets will still be available later."
[ "So be it." ]
[Fire Dragon Skill Set has been selected. ]
"Alright. Let's see-"
Erend intends to see all the Skills that are already available in this Skill Set. But suddenly the room door opened and Billy came in with a panicked face.
"There's an attack!" Billy said frantically.
"What?" Erend was confused.
"Come with me now!"
Erend came out of the room with Billy. This is so strange, why suddenly there was an attack out of nowhere?
"Who attacked?" Erend asked while running with Billy.
"The thing that ambush us that day," Billy replied.
Soon they arrived in front of the palace. From behind the twenty-meter-high white wall that surrounded the palace, they could see a line of smoke.
Among the puffs of smoke, there were the heads of a brown giant head with horns. They were so big they could go beyond walls.
'BOOM!'
'BOOM!'
Suddenly huge vibrations out from the gate in front of them. It was as if something was trying to break in.
'BOOM!'
'BOOM!'
Then they saw that there were thousands of arrows flying from above them. The arrows glowed because they were coated in the Elves' Magic.
Erend and Billy had no idea what was going on behind the wall. They could only see the heads of the giants being hit by arrows and falling.
"What should we do?" Erend asked.
"How can we escape from here?" Billy said.
"What?" Erend looked at Billy in disbelief.
"Do you want to fight to help them? I'm not that stupid as to risk my life for them."
Billy has a point. But Erend now feels conflicted.
"Those walls look strong enough to hold them in for a long time," Billy said. "But I don't know how long."
Suddenly a disturbing shriek voice came from above. They both looked up and saw something flying above.
