I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 571: The End

The Great Calamity lunged at Erend with what remained of its strength, but its appearance showing nothing of its weakness. It still looked as terrifying as it had in the beginning. Every step it took radiating an overwhelming aura of dread.

For the first time, Erend felt fear seize him as the creature charged, its claws ready to tear him apart. His body was battered and broken, pain surging through him. He was desperate, clinging to the last threads of his will.

He couldn't let this thing win.

As the Great Calamity neared, Erend forced himself to calm his racing heart, his mind scrambling for any last-ditch strategy.

His breath came out ragged, his legs shaking beneath him as he planted his feet firmly on the blood-soaked ground. He waited, muscles coiled, eyes locked on the creature's advance. His instincts screamed at him to run and flee from the unstoppable force coming his way, but he stood his ground, his gaze still sharp.

Closer.

Closer.

Then, just before the Great Calamity's claws could reach him, Erend moved.

With a swift motion, he swept his leg low to the ground, catching the creature off guard. His foot slammed into its legs, knocking the Great Calamity off balance. Its monstrous form tumbled to the ground with a heavy crash, sending blood and dark ooze splattering in every direction.

Erend didn't waste a second. As soon as the creature hit the ground, he roared, a surge of adrenaline rushing through him. Ignoring the searing pain in his body, he leaped into the air and came crashing down on the Great Calamity with his fists raised.

With all the strength he had left, Erend began to maul the creature.

His punches landed with brutal force, each punch cracking the Great Calamity's decaying body further. His knuckles burned from the impact, but he didn't care.

He swung again, and again, a wild fury taking over as he pummeled the creature's molten, oozing form.

Erend was filled with emotion as his fists slammed into the Great Calamity's face, shattering parts of its twisted, scaled features.

The Great Calamity snarled in pain, but it could barely fight back. Its body was disintegrating, leaking foul liquid that sizzled against the ground. It tried to lift its claws, to strike back at Erend, but its movements were sluggish, the strength it once wielded slipping away.

Sensing Erend's hesitation, the Great Calamity's smirk widened. It could feel the Dragonborn's mind unraveling, his confusion and fear taking hold. And it seized the opportunity.

With a sudden burst of movement, the Great Calamity lashed out, its claw shooting toward Erend's neck.

But before it could reach him, the ground beneath them shifted. A sharp, jagged spike of earth erupted from the ground and impaled the Great Calamity's hand, destroying it in a spray of black ichor.

The creature howled in pain.

"Erend!" a voice called out from behind. "Kill that bastard!

Erend snapped back to reality at the sound of Eccar's voice. He turned and saw his friend, weak but alive, laying down behind him, hands glowing faintly with the last of his Magic.

Eccar's eyes burned again. His fear evaporated, replaced by the fury. The Great Calamity's words were meant to break him. He couldn't let this monster, or any other like it, win.

"HAAAAAA!!!"

With a fierce roar, Erend punch again at the Great Calamity, his fists crackling with what little Magic he had left. He brought his arm down with mind that focused on one thing, to end this once and for all.

"You're done!" Erend shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield as he struck again and again.

The Great Calamity writhed beneath him, its body disintegrating faster with every blow. Its eyes, once burning with defiance, now flickered with the final realization of its defeat.

With one final punch, Erend shattered what was left of the Great Calamity's form. The creature let out a gurgling scream, its voice lost in the air as its body crumbled into nothing more than a puddle of foul liquid. Find more to read on M V L

It was over.

Erend braethed heavily and stood over the remains of the Great Calamity, his body trembling from exhaustion but his mind clear. He glanced back at Eccar, who gave him a nod, the fire in his eyes matching Erend's own.
