Erend sat on a chair in front of Conrad. He still didn't know how to respond to this situation. He couldn't make Conrad suspect him.
But there shouldn't be anything that would make Conrad suspicious of him because back then in the secret facility, everything was going well. Investigations about himself, Adrien, and Billy have also been carried out and they have not shown any signs that could get them into trouble.
'I just have to act normal.'
Erend sat down quietly, He also still maintained his confused expression as if wondering why Conrad wanted to meet him.
Meanwhile, Thomas, who was standing in front of the door after locking it, couldn't escape Erend's attention.
"I know that you were the one who saved me in the hospital that time," Conrad said.
"Just doing my job," Erend replied lightly.
Conrad smiled. "Thank you. If it wasn't for you I would have died. I owe you my life, sergeant."
"Don't think about it. As I said, I'm just doing my job."
Conrad nodded, still smiling. "If you say so."
"What else do you want to talk about?" Erend asked.
"I'm sure you already know that I was the first to bring Magic to this world," Conrad said in a serious tone. "However, my Magic was removed by an Elf who attacked our secret facility that time."
Erend nodded while looking at Conrad seriously as if he paid attention to what he was saying.
"Most of the data about the experiment has also been destroyed. Thomas managed to salvage some of the data but it wasn't enough to restart the experiment."
Conrad's words almost made Erend show a surprised expression. 'So there is still data that was saved...'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I believe that the Elves came to stop the Magic experiment. They are prideful beings who don't want other beings to have their power!"
Erend could see the glint of rage in Conrad's eyes like a bonfire burning in a cave in the dark. He wonders what the Elves did when he was on Eternal Earth.
"What's your point?" Erend asked.
Conrad took a deep breath to calm himself. "Everything that happens in this world right now is caused by Magic, sergeant. Magic is awakening in this world for an unknown reason."
Erend tilted his head to the side, looking like he was genuinely curious. "How can you be so sure?" he asked.
"I spent long enough in that world to master Magic. And I was able to master Magic before the Elves came and took everything," Conrad replied. "I'm sure you can also feel the strangeness that is happening. How is it possible that riots of this size can occur simultaneously throughout this country and in other countries as well for no apparent reason."
Erend pretended to think. A few moments later he said. "You're right. I did feel something is wrong. But, isn't that riot over?"
"I don't think so." Conrad shook his head. "This is only the beginning. Whatever force that entered this world along with this awakening of Magic has already affected the president."
Erend's eyes widened at Conrad's words. "What do you mean?"
Conrad leaned closer to Erend, then spoke in a whisper. "I felt that a few days ago. There is an evil force inside President Julius's body."
Erend was silent and stared at Conrad without blinking. Was what Conrad said true? But why can't he, Adrien, and Billy feel it too?
All the questions and confusion were created in Erend's mind.
"Wait," Erend said. "You said a few days ago?"
Conrad nodded. "Yes. I don't know what happened now but I can no longer feel those evil forces."
"What do you think happened?" Erend asked.
"I don't know. But I'm sure whatever is inside the president's body realized something so decided to hide first."
Erend pondered over the matter. He has fought two creatures of Chaos Realm so far. They both attacked him openly and one of them had already seen his face. Could the creature that saw his face spread his identity to all his friends?
Now Erend is even more convinced that there is a creature of Chaos Realm inside the president's body after hearing confirmation from Conrad. And the creature somehow hid itself when Erend, Adrien, and Billy decided to become the president's bodyguards so they couldn't discover it.
It must be because the creature inside the president's body has heard - or even been able to feel - his presence - a Dragonborn - who can hurt them.
"Sergeant?" Conrad asked.
"Yes? Sorry. This is all too much for me," Erend replied. "Then what is your suggestion on what we should do?"
"You trust me?"
"Yes." Erend nodded. "I can see a little strangeness in the president and I think that's the explanation for that."
Conrad was slightly surprised. But he immediately showed a smile. "Thank you for believing in me. Now I ask you and your friends to wait while I think about my next plan."
Erend still doesn't fully trust Conrad. But if he has a solution to get the creature out of the body, the president, Erend, is willing to listen to it.
Erend left the room after that conversation. He walked back towards his room while contemplating.
'So, the creature that possessed the president knows that I am Dragonborn. But it's smart enough not to show itself and instead hides its existence from me.
The creature must have bigger plans for possessing the president like that woman said at that time. I have to stop it without hurting the president.'
The room was already visible before his eyes.
'But how? Should I wait for instructions from Conrad or ask Aurdis and the others?'
This problem made Erend quite confused because there were two options and he didn't know which option was better. It could be that if he contacted the Elves, the creatures who possessed the president would feel their presence and instead do something dangerous beyond their expectations.
Erend decided to make observations first for now. Until he saw another opportunity that seemed better.

Isadora finally decided that she could no longer just sit back and wait after experiencing painful things from Erend. She swallowed her anger and visited the palace of bones where Svaros resided.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSvaros was known for never allowing anyone into his domain without subjecting them to an annoying fight against all his beasts. Consequently, Isadora had to come prepared with her own small army just to gain an audience with him.
Isadora gritted her teeth when she barged past all the rows of Svaros's beasts. She didn't find it difficult with all of them it was just that Isadora felt annoyed that she had to go through this kind of hassle.
'If I don't want to avenge the Dragonborn soon, I won't want to see him!'
After passing through the annoying line of beasts, Isadora finally arrived at the door of the Svaros bone palace. The door is made of monster bones in black and white. There was no handle on the door, instead, the door was filled with bones sticking out in a sharp contour. Svaros never let anything go easy for anyone who wanted to visit him.
But Isadora ignored the sharp bones and pushed with all her might. The door flew open with a bang and hit the wall behind it creating a thunderous sound that echoed down the corridor.
"Svaros!" Isadora yelled angrily.
Because Svaros didn't answer, the goddess of lust and desire growled in annoyance. She walked with quick steps to enter the corridor.
Isadora immediately entered Svaros's throne room after killing his servants. Svaros was sitting on his throne with his eyes closed.
'Is he going to that world?'
Isadora approached quickly. As soon as she was in front of Svaros suddenly the God of Fallen Beast jerked his eyes open.
"(What are you doing here?)" Svaros asked in a deep voice thick with anger. He certainly doesn't like it when he is disturbed.
"(Let's unite our strength and destroy the Dragonborn. I know that you have also felt a painful defeat because of that being,)" Isadora said, straight to the point.
*BAM!*
Svaros hit his throne hand hard and stared at Isadora with eyes burning with rage.
But Isadora was not afraid instead, she grinned. she said. "(Why? Isn't that true? The great Svaros has finally fallen before the Dragonborn.)"
Svaros, who couldn't hold back his anger anymore, lunged at Isadora and then threw his fist. Isadora who had realized that that would happen raised her hand and created a pink-black barrier. Svaros's fist hit the barrier and the impact shook the throne room.
Isadora gritted her teeth because Svaros' force fist was quite strong.
"(Listen, Svaros. We can't go on like this if we want to destroy the Dragonborn. We need to work together. When will you realize that?!)" Isadora said.
Isador thought that Svaros would remain stubborn and continue to attack her. However, to her surprise, Svaros pulled his fist and sat back on his throne.
"(I came to realize that,)" Svaros said. His voice sounded calmer even though there was still cold rage in it.
