The rain had almost stopped completely. All that was left of the rainstorm earlier was a small drizzle.
The wind has also started to become tamer and does not blow the rage like before.
Erend and Aurdis were still engaged in a warm chat about what happened in the Elf palace.
But when the topic of the Elf palace starts to seem monotonous - because there really isn't anything special besides what Erend already knows - then Aurdis decides to ask about Erend's life in his own world.
Erend complied and he started to tell about his world.
There was a lot that Aurdis didn't understand about what Erend was talking about.
The 'skyscraper buildings' have a similar description to the towers in this world. But the building was built filled with glass.
So a question arose in Aurdis' head.
"How can the building withstand the attacks of monsters or another race siege if it's mostly glass?" Aurdis asked.
"In my world, there are no monsters," Erend said with a chuckle. "Well, at least not a 'monster' like the ones in this world."
"Then what are the monsters there like?"
"In my world, the monsters are humans who have power," Erend said with a sad smile.
Aurdis' brows almost knitted in confusion.
"Never mind. Don't worry about it. Did I ever say I have a sister?" Erend said to change the subject.
After hearing that Aurdis' eyes widened with excitement.
"A sister?!"
Erend nodded. "Yeah. Her name is Artemis. But me and everyone who knows her prefer to call her Arty. That's easier to pronounce."
"How old is she?" Aurdis asked.
"She's seventeen soon."
"Ah, seventeen. She must be a pretty girl." Aurdis smiled.
"Hmm, I don't know about that," Erend said. "I hope she's not too pretty. So there aren't many guys chasing her."
"Ahahaha. Are you afraid that your sister loves her lover more than you?" Aurdis teasing.
Erend snorted. But he didn't deny it. "Maybe."
Aurdis laughed again as if amused.
Erend noticed that the rain had stopped. Then he checked his MP.
[ MP: 65/70 ]
'I think that will suffice.'
"How about we go now?" Erend asked.
"Hahh..." Aurdis sighed. "All right. Let's go."
Erend and Aurdis stood up and walked towards the plains.
Star followed obediently beside Aurdis.
"I will change now." Erend walked a little further from Aurdis.
[ Skill activated: Fire Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]
*WOOOSSSHHH!*
A red light appeared, dazzling her eyes. Waves of wind that spread in all directions drooped the grass until it stuck to the ground.
The reddish light became even bigger. Until finally a few moments later a giant figure that towered as if almost touching the sky appeared.
Dragon sightings in the plains near Wyldwood will catch the attention of anyone who sees it.
On his shoulders was a blazing fire. Adding the appearance of the Dragon to be even more mighty.
Dragon-Erend's amber eyes stared at Aurdis from above.
Unlike when fighting the Ogres Kingdom or the Daemons of Calamity. There is no cruelty there.
Aurdis didn't know that was possible. The eyes of the Dragon that once destroyed the Ogres Kingdom's army now radiated friendliness.
Dragon-Erend looked down and held out both hands.
Aurdis led Star closer. Even though the stallion looked reluctant and scared, when Aurdis stroked his neck and whispered something, Star finally complied.
'So... uhh, do I just have to go up.'
Aurdis knew right away that she had to talk telepathically to Erend now.
'Yes. Don't worry.'
At that time Erend wasn't so sure when he brought the human adventurers in his palm.
But because at that time he succeeded, Erend's confidence increased.
Moreover, Aurdis wasn't just a human. She is an Elf with great Magic ability.
Aurdis must be better at taking care of herself than those humans. That's what convinced Erend to do this.
'I will take off,' Dragon-Erend said.
'Alright!'
Aurdis held on to the Dragon-Erend's fingers.
Star chose to sit on Dragon-Erend's palm and pressed his body as close to his palm as possible.
The wings that spanned three meters each began to flap.
Again, waves of wind bent the grass and trees of Wyldwood.
Then Dragon-Erend shot into the air. And right through the clouds.
'Where is the direction?' Erend asked.
'Go west!' Aurdis answered while pointing with her index finger.
Dragon-Erend's wings flapped again and he shot westward.
Aurdis raised her body to stand up and looked around.
She was inside the palm of a Dragon. Aurdis stroked the hard and rough surface of his palm skin.
His palm skin is pale, quite different from the red scales that dominate his body.
Aurdis looked up and saw the Dragon-Erend's head facing forward.
That head looks so mighty. It is very natural that the Dragon is considered an incredibly strong creature.
Aurdis even stood up and looked down from between the Dragon-Erend's fingers.
'Hey! Careful.' Erend gave Aurdis a warning.
But Aurdis didn't look scared at all. She smiled and felt the gust of wind on her face.
'Don't worry. I will not fall,' replied Aurdis.
After that, Dragon-Erend said nothing more. He let Aurdis enjoy her time.
Aurdis looked at the swamps below. The area looks gray and wet. Trees with strange shapes filled the territory.
Aurdis breathed a sigh of relief. She felt very relieved that there was no need to traverse through that territory.
From up here, Aurdis could see the murky brown water.
She didn't know what else might be lurking under the water.
The Swamps' territory was traversed by the Dragon-Erend in less than five minutes.
If she is on foot, Aurdis might just come out of the territory when it's already dark.
After that, they flew through the area of ??small forests that are not dangerous.
There are small walking paths that can be seen up here. The paths curved between grass and trees.
After flying for about half an hour, finally, the appearance of a large forest that was as dense as Wyldwood was seen.
'The forest is my goal. I can get off now,' Aurdis said.
'Alright.'
Dragon-Erend descended slowly.
After taking down Aurdis and Star, Erend deactivated [Fire Dragon Transformation] and returned to his human form.
