I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Seeing the flames condensed into the shape of a spear made Annie's eyes widen. Her feelings were mixed between shock and fear.

'Shit!'

Annie immediately used her power to escape from this cornered situation.

She clapped her hands on the floor and created a wall of ice in front of her.

Steve who had been aiming at Annie with a grin that looked like a devil's grin threw his flaming spear at full power.

*WUSSHH!!!*

The fiery spear flew at the speed of a missile toward Annie's ice wall.

Because of its power, the wall couldn't even hold the fiery spear for a second.

*DRAKKK!*

Steve's spear of fire pierced through Annie's ice wall and headed straight for where Annie should be.

However, she had created a pillar of ice at just the right time to push her body up.

So that the fire spear only hit the floor and the base of her ice pillar.

*BOOM!*

An explosion was created. But the explosion wasn't as big as Annie thought and couldn't destroy her ice pillar.

Steve gritted his teeth angrily because he had already missed his target.

Then he looked up and saw Annie standing on top of her ice pillar.

"Are you going to kill me?" she asked.

What Steve did just now was clearly filled with murderous intent.

This should just be practice. And even though Steve wanted to beat her, he shouldn't have done it with the intention of killing her.

Suddenly, as if a switch had been pushed inside Steve's head, his expression returned to normal.

The evil-looking grin disappeared to be replaced by a normal smile. Which is actually not that different.

"Of course not. I just wanted to surprise you," Steve replied.

"So you did improve your Magic," Annie said.

Steve shrugged his shoulders. "You could say that."

Annie didn't say anything else. She immediately knew the end of this battle.

She couldn't beat Steve. Whatever he could do, Steve hadn't put it all out just yet.

But Annie couldn't just give up. She, as someone who can also use Magic, felt compelled to put up an appropriate fight.

Annie created ice and she make it into armor around her body.

Steve who saw that knew that Annie had become more serious than before.

So Steve didn't intend to give Annie an easy time either. He also had to get more serious now.

Especially now that Steve has gained that strange new power.

A power that he did not know where it came from. But it has an extraordinary impact on his Magic abilities.

The red-hot aura around Steve's body got bigger.

Then flames blazed all over his body as if he had just been doused with gasoline.

On the other hand, Annie frowned at the change in Steve's fire.

Steve's fire is now a little darker. In addition to the orange color of the fire, there is a maroon mix in between.

It was indeed just a faint color. However, Annie could notice the change.

What happened next was, Annie felt the pressure of the strange feeling she had earlier.

As Magic Steve's output grew, the pressure from that strange feeling grew stronger.

"Hey, Steve. Did you-"

Before Annie could finish her question, Steve was already hurtling towards her with incredible speed.

So Annie immediately put up a defensive stance. She crossed her arms in front of her body because she see Steve who had already thrown a fist.

*BUAGGHHH!*

Steve's fist went straight into Annie's crossed arm.

'His power is getting bigger!'

Annie felt a stronger force than she had ever felt before from Steve.

Steve did not stop there. He swings his other hand at Annie's face. Again, at a higher speed than before.

Luckily Annie managed to use her hand in time to block the punch.

She then immediately poured ice from her body onto Steve's body, intending to freeze him.

However, Steve, who already knew Annie's intentions, immediately jumped back.

When he was at a safe distance from Annie, Steve created another spear of condensed fire in his hand.

Without waiting any longer, Steve threw the flaming spear at Annie.

Annie who already knew that she wouldn't be able to withstand the fiery spear chose to dodge.

She destroys her ice pillar causing herself to fall to the floor again.

After that, she created her ice spears and threw them at Steve.

*SHUTT!!*

*SHUTT!!*

*SHUTT!!*

...

The ice spears flew very quickly. However, Steve breathed fire to dispel the ice spears.

Annie created two ice swords in her hands. Then she shot towards Steve from below.

As soon as she was right under the flying Steve, Annie threw her body up while thrusting her sword.

Steve noticed Annie's movement too late as he was still dealing with the ice spears she threw.

So he couldn't avoid Annie's ice swords attacks.

Steve could only move back a little to minimize the damage he received from Annie.

*SRATT!!!*

*SRATT!!!*

Annie's two ice swords managed to penetrate the aura protecting Steve's body and grazed his body. Creates an elongated wound that oozes blood.

But Annie knew that wasn't enough to make Steve admit defeat.

So she immediately followed up by turning her body in the air and throwing a kick at Steve's face.

*DUAAGHHH!*

The kick hit Steve's chin, forcing his head to look up hard.

Annie wanted one more time to kick Steve to the ground.

However, Steve recovered quickly from Annie's kick and grabbed her leg that was pointing at him.

Annie found Steve grinning at her again.

Steve then swung Annie by the leg. The force behind the swing was so great that Annie couldn't do anything to resist.

"HYAAAH!!!"

Steve let out a loud shout as he threw Annie to the concrete floor.

*BOOM!*

Annie fell with a loud thump.

"Erghh..." She even groaned feeling pain all over her body.

'I'm already wearing ice armor, why does my body still hurt?'

Annie was astonished. But her amazement was answered when she opened her eyes.

'My armor!'

Her ice armor is gone.
