Chapter 270: Strolling Through The City With Zafira, And Mosquito

The two walked through the crowded streets peacefully, and during that time, Rael pretty much explained how his fight against Alene went.

Obviously, Zafira knew what he was capable of, so hearing that Alene pretty much mopped the floor with him was surprising.

But even so, she gave him a peck on the cheek.

“Don’t worry. When she finally comes out, we’ll get her together,” Zafira assured with a warm smile.

Rael let out a chuckle. “I’m sure we will… though, what do you think that memory was about?”

“Hmm…” Zafira fell into thought as she stopped and sat on the sidewalk.

He did the same and waited for her input.

Earlier, he’d explained the strange system conversation he had, a bit about the fragments too, and of course, that odd world awakening sequence in the memory record.

So after a few moments of pondering, Zafira finally nodded.

“I got nothing.”

“…” Rael facepalmed. “With all that dramatic build-up, you could’ve at least come up with some bullshit to make me feel better.”

Zafira giggled as she played with her hair, shooting him a knowing look.

“Maybe I can come up with something if I have some ice cream~”

As soon as she finished speaking, Rael reached into the premium shop and bought her some delicious strawberry ice cream.

He handed it to her, and her expression immediately lit up.

She licked the ice cream as she began voicing her thoughts.

“Well… let’s see…” Zafira tilted her head. “You did say you ate the eye and then appeared inside a dungeon, right?”

Rael nodded.

“And… this memory you saw, you’re sure it happened right after you ate it?” Zafira asked. “Them breaking in, you shooting them, and then that weird world awakening.”

“I’m pretty positive, Zafira,” Rael replied plainly. “It didn’t seem fake, and the system’s cryptic messages only made me more convinced. I’m pretty sure it’s real. I just don’t know how to go about it… Alune isn’t back either, so I can’t ask her.”

Zafira licked her ice cream and met his eyes.

“What if you’re an avatar?”

He raised a brow, waiting for the punchline.

But it never came.

“Seriously…?”

“What?” Zafira shrugged. “Doesn’t it seem likely that you’re the avatar of some ancient Supreme Beast?”

Rael sighed, but he couldn’t dismiss that fact.

I mean… how can I? I have the Supreme Beast’s fucking bloodline, and I also have some of its memories. Am I the Supreme Beast or something?

Basically, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Anyhow, the two talked a bit more about it until eventually, Zafira finished her ice cream.

“The Zafirapedia has expired,” she announced with a puffed chest. “If you wish to chat more about this topic I don’t know anything about, insert some ice cream.”

“…Do you want me to restrict your movie access?”

Her eyes widened. “Don’t you dare… That’s the only fun I have after doing boring paperwork for days. I’ve already rewatched that corny vampire TV series you showed me twice. It’s so bad… but it’s funny.”

Rael chuckled and stood up, extending his hand.

Zafira stared at him for a few moments and then accepted his hand.

Their fingers interlaced, and the two began walking along the streets in silence.

Temperia was a calm city, but it was a pity it didn’t have anything interesting to show for it.

Sure, there was the magic tower museum in the very middle, but he knew Zafira wasn’t that interested in magic.

She had her own spells, and from what little he saw, she had hundreds of them.

Seeing someone wave around a glowing candy cane probably wouldn’t interest her.

That was why he suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and, in the next moment, jumped off the ground.

Because of his movement speed and strength, he soared up to the clouds and slightly beyond.

And yet, the darkness was still present.

After all, the eclipse wasn’t going anywhere.

“Odds on me destroying the moon?” Rael mumbled.

Zafira suddenly pinched his cheek. “If you destroy the moon, we’re all going to die. Just leave it be for now. It might disappear eventually.”

“But what if I can destroy it without any debris falling?”

She pinched his cheek harder.

Getting the hint, Rael simply let out a sigh.

Since he reached the pinnacle of his momentum, he soon began falling with her in his arms.

But before he could fall too far, he kicked the sky.

The air cracked slightly, but to his genuine surprise, it gave him a slight foothold which he used to jump back up again.

“Air walking…?” Zafira muttered. “Seriously?”

Rael let out a confident chuckle and tried kicking the air again.

However, instead of cracking it, he suddenly did a full 180 vertically and began falling headfirst toward the ground.

But even as he fell, Zafira’s lovely smile didn’t disappear.

And just as he was prepared to stop their fall with a simple punch, a very surprising situation occurred.

Zafira’s body began to slowly float as beautiful pixie wings formed on her back.

Then, she simply grabbed him by the scruff and stopped him from falling further.

She leaned in with a smirk and kissed the dazed Rael on the lips.

“And you have a flying skill… show-off,” Rael grumbled.

But since he didn’t want to be outdone by his wife, Rael decided to cheese the system a little.

He scrolled through the bloodlines until eventually, he found what he was looking for.

[Tier 1] Bloodlines:

Mosquito Bloodline: 5,000 Trell

A faint chuckle escaped his lips as he inspected the bloodline and bought it right away.

Mosquito Bloodline (Tier 1)

—Special bonuses:

You can drink blood to nourish yourself.

—Effects:

1. Mosquito Wings: Summon a pair of human-sized mosquito wings. Their size and appearance depend on the user’s imagination.

Since he had plenty of imagination, Rael returned a sly smirk and, in the very next moment, a pair of giant black mosquito wings came out of his back.

—Bzzzzzzzz

He looked confidently at Zafira and she stared back at him, her brows twitching.

She seemed a bit… annoyed.

And that was when she finally spoke.

“Rael… please put that away.”

“Awhh…” Rael sulked. “Fine… if you don’t like them so much, I’ll—”

<Ding!>

His eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Zafira cleared her throat and looked at him with a warm expression.

“Rael… will you follow me? There’s something I want to show you.”
