I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 289 Looks Darker



Annie knew that Steve wouldn't tell her even though he indeed did something with his Magic. At least, it's not that easy.

So Annie had to try to get information out of Steve slowly. Whatever Steve does it will also benefit her.

"Let's spar. I want to avenge my defeat yesterday," Steve said while cracking his neck.

"Sure," Annie replied. "You seem quite confident that you can win this time."

"Not really. You've gotten stronger lately. I don't know if I can win or not" Steve said. "It's just... I just want to fight you. Isn't that what we usually do?"

Annie nodded. "You are right."

Steve started stretching. Annie followed him in the stretches as she kept thinking about the strange feeling she had just now.

A few minutes later their stretch was over.

"Are you ready?" Steve asked.

He was still smiling. But Annie didn't know why that she seems to see some kind of dark aura that was covering Steve's face.

"Yes. Let's get started," Annie said.

A reddish aura started to come out of Steve's body and enveloped him.

Meanwhile, a blueish aura also came out of Annie's body. Covering her with a chill that should freeze anyone who touches it.

But actually, the bluish aura formed a shield around her body that protected Annie from the heat power of Steve's fire.

Without saying anything else, Steve shot toward Annie at incredible speed.

Annie raised both her hands just in time to block Steve's punch.

*DUAGH!*

Annie was pushed back a few inches. But that's not a big problem for her.

She was used to enduring Steve's explosive power like this.

Annie then put her feet on the floor. An ice pillar appeared from below and hit Steve sending him flying several meters up.

Annie continued by creating five ice spears and immediately threw them at Steve.

*SYUUTT!!*

*SYUUTT!!*

*SYUUTT!!*

*SYUUTT!!*

*SYUUTT!!*

Steve who was still flying in the air watched as Annie threw ice spears at him.

'You are still quite predictable.'

Annie will start the fight by distancing herself from him.

Then she would continue throwing ice spears like this time.

Steve already knew that she would do that so he wasn't surprised anymore.

*ZWOOSSHHH!!!*

Flames engulfed Steve's body. But it doesn't end there.

The fire then enlarged and spread around. It was as if Steve's body had exploded from the inside.

The ice spears shot by Annie got into the fire that Steve let out.

The ice spears instantly melted and disappeared within the heat of the flames.

Steve then landed on the floor with his body still burning with fire.

But the flames had lessened and were only burning around his shoulders, chest, and face.

Steve's feelings of rage and anxiety that he had been feeling since last night was now getting bigger.

Steve could no longer think about anything other than the fight and Annie as the enemy in front of him.

Steve grinned horribly. Annie realized that, and that sight make her wrinkle her forehead in surprise and worry.

'What's wrong with him?' thought Annie.

Steve spread his arms out to the sides and flames appeared in his hands.

Without saying anything, Steve threw two fireballs at Annie.

The two fireballs shot very fast. Faster than anything Annie had ever seen before.

So she knows that she can't avoid the fireballs.

Annie created an ice wall that just appeared as if it was growing from the concrete floor.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

The two fireballs hit Annie's ice wall and shattered it.

Creates a mist of white smoke that fills Annie's vision for a few moments.

Suddenly Steve appeared splitting behind the white mist with his arms outstretched toward her.

Annie widened her eyes in shock. Because of the shock, her brain wasn't fast enough to order her body to dodge.

But fortunately, when Steve's hand was inches from her neck, Annie's hand was able to move to stop him.

Annie held Steve's wrist so he stopped right in front of Annie.

Annie could feel the waves of heat that Steve gave off due to the force when he was charging toward her at high speed.

Steve was still grinning that evil-looking grin.

Annie didn't know what was really on his mind. And that's quite disturbing to her.

Steve pulled his hand from Annie's grip. Then he swung his other hand to hit Annie.

Annie of course wouldn't let that punch hit her so she raised her hand just in time to block the punch.

*DAAKK!!*

There was a very strong force and heat behind that punch. But Annie also has the power to handle Steve.

The two of them then engaged in close combat with their bare hands for a few moments.

Punches and kicks come together in a very fast motion.

What was visible on the cameras watching the two of them were just flashes of red and blue that collided with each other.

The one observing their fight was Thomas. And now he was alone in that observation room.

Again, accompanied by cup noodles and a cup of thick black coffee that was puffing smoke.

Thomas watched with narrowed eyes. He even started to rarely blink since a few seconds ago when he saw Steve's changes.

Thomas pressed a key on the keyboard then the camera shifted to another angle.

This time he saw that Steve was grinning. But that was only a glimpse as they moved again.

​ Thomas also noticed that Steve's aura seemed darker than usual.

"Hmm... Or is it just my feeling?" Thomas muttered to himself.

Suddenly an explosion of fire appeared on his monitor screen.

Annie's body was suddenly thrown backward and hit the wall with incredible force.

She even cracked the wall she hit.

Steve stood looking at Annie. Then he raised his hand and a spear that looked like it was made of condensed fire appeared in his hand.

"Wow, this is new." Thomas looked excited. His eyes flashed with excitement.

Steve suddenly can create something from the fire that came out of his body.
