Chapter - 7

As Laxavis screeched, Rex could faintly feel that he was happy.

"I can vaguely understand your emotions! Oh! And you're a male. Cool!" (Rex)

SKREE!

Laxavis seemed to agree with him. However, he also seemed to be offended that Rex had thought of him as anything other than male.

"Jeez! Fine! Fine! Now that we've got out of the way, let's head out of here! You should be familiar with this Forest, right? Do you know if that huge spire in the distance is a settlement or a clue to civilization?" (Rex)

Laxavis moved his head from side to side.

"You don't know? Or....it's not a settlement?" (Rex)

Laxavis cocked his head to the side. Rex frowned as he felt several emotions from him. From what he could understand, the spire was an extremely dangerous place. Even Laxavis was apprehensive of it.

"Intriguing.....let's remember that for the future. Do you know a way out of this forest then?" (Rex)

This time, Laxavis gave an affirmative nod and expanded in size. He motioned Rex to mount his back. Rex did so after a little hesitation.

"Alright now where to-Wooahh!" (Rex)

Before Rex could finish his sentence, Laxavis took off and started heading westwards. Once again, Rex felt a familiar trauma come knocking at his door.

"At this rate, I'm seriously considering that I may develop vertigo....or just never consider being up in the air again.." (Rex)

As Laxavis kept his bearing to the west, Rex enjoyed the view from his back. It wasn't that he hated being this high in the air, but that every time he had ended up here, it had been in a violent manner.

"Haa....I have to pick a preferred combat style. So far I've always played the Swordsman class...or a Mage Class or both...I want to try something different this time. An Assassin isn't my type plus I'm a Draco-Elf...something Fast but also Strong....maa...whatever I can think of is related to the Swordsman class....oh well...now that I have Laxavis...I'll look like a Hunter..!? That's it! I want to take up the bow! Also, some magic and a little swordsmanship! But only short sword! Yes! I see my future now!" (Rex)

As Rex was writhing about in excitement on Laxavis' back, Laxavis himself was having some regrets about 'Bonding' a companion so quickly. This regret mostly sprouted from Rex's chuuni-like attitude. However, Laxavis had witnessed Rex's fight with the Blood Hounds and his subsequent escape. He knew that this innocent-faced man should never be provoked. He also felt something terrifying within the Halfling. As they say, "Let sleeping dragons lie."

"Haa...a Hunter won't cut it...a custom class huh? I'll look into it when I reach the city. Anyway, I already know what profession I'm going to take up. Haa...speaking of...Status" (Rex)

"Hoh! Those resistances look so good. My affinities are looking pretty good too. I should train them more. Also, I need more physical combat skills....not to mention some bow skills....Hm?" (Rex)

As Rex was looking over his Status Window, he suddenly felt Laxavis slightly deaccelerate and also lose some altitude. Rex looked up ahead and grinned.

In the distance, Rex could see a large wall which surrounded numerous man-made structures. He assumed it was a city, considering its size. Additionally, the entire city seemed to follow some kind of theme. It was entirely white. Rex frowned as he saw this. However, he didn't have time to dwell on the topic much longer as something much more urgent required his attention.

They were assaulted by a Beast in mid-air. A wyvern to be precise.

"Dammit! Laxavis, dive quickly!" (Rex)

While expressing his anger, Rex immediately adapted to the situation. As Laxavis dived and the wyvern passed over their heads, Rex instructed Laxavis on what to do next quickly.

"Go up again! Good! Now, aim your lightning right at his face!" (Rex)

As Laxavis followed through with his instructions, Rex was making his own preparations.

'Fireball. Compress. Fire Bullet. Break. Barrage!' (Rex)

Remembering what he did with his Wind Balls, Rex followed the same steps as fast as he could. Once he was done, he had, at least, two dozen Fire Bullets at his disposal. However, he didn't fire it yet. He decided to wait for the right moment while also increasing the explosive damage of the bullets.

The opportunity soon presented itself. The third time that Laxavis shot the wyvern in the face while also dodging its attacks, there was enough distance between them and the wyvern was also temporarily incapacitated. Rex fired with gusto.

BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!

Continuous explosions rang out in mid-air as the wyvern was hit by the Fire Bullet: Barrage. Finally, a smoking black carcass fell from the air and landed someplace in the forest.

Rex sighed in relief while Laxavis screeched in celebration.

"Leave the corpse. It's too damaged to be sold or used for materials. I'll have to revise my evaluation of that spell. Jeez!" (Rex)

Rex was frustrated that he couldn't salvage such excellent material. Sighing, he asked Laxavis to continue with their trip.

"Civilization, here I come!" (Rex)

SKREE!

Hello! Hello!

Sorry for the delay......I was occupied with other things In-RL....

Anyway....no ratings and no comments yet huh? Oh well....

There's a little clue I left in this chapter (not regarding his profession) and if anyone comments about it accurately, I'll reveal a little bit more! (No, I am not begging for comments......am I?)

Additionally, give me some feedback on what kind of profession Rex should get...I already have one in mind, and while it's pretty generic....i like it....tell me your thoughts!

Adios! Ciao! Alvida!

Author Out!

P.S.-- I'll try to accelerate the chapter release...but, life is kinda busy you know? But! I'll try!
