Chapter 262 - Continent rush (1) (2/2)

Mars and 78 quickly made camp and vent to sleep while Victoria guarded the camp...

The next morning Mars awoke naturally to the sound of purring and without opening his eyes he reached up and began petting Victoria on the head before he greeted her

”Good morning Victoria”

”Good morning... Mars”

Mars opened his eyes and was suddenly face to face with Victoria's big round blue eyes as she sniffed his face, Mars gave a wry smile before he asked

”How is stuff at home?”

”Not... good”

”...I see, guess we better hurry on back then”

So far Mars top priority had not been returning home as quickly as possible it had been growing strong enough so that he would not have to make the journey again, after all who could say that the shitbag administrator would not just throw him to the ends of Alfan once again? But now that he had heard form Victoria that stuff was ”not good” he had to hurry home and thus he woke up 78 and quickly packed the camp down before he picked up 78 and looked over at Victoria and asked

”Are you going to be able to keep up if I fly?”

”Sure... I might even... Be faster”

Mars gave a nod as he looked at Victoria's slightly proud expression and suddenly had an urge to praise her but in the end he didn't and just set off and flew after the shadow that moved at blistering speed on the ground

'She sure is fast'

Mars marveled at the speed the shadow that raced past all obstacles on the ground, it was at least as fast as him that was flying with 60% speed

'Then let's kick it up a notch...'

”78, I am speeding up, hold tight”

”Umm!”

Mars sped up momentarily leaving Victoria in her shadow in the dust before she also sped up and kept a constant 500 meter lead

'She really was not kidding when she said she was faster...'

Mars gave a smile and sped up a little more, he was happy that Victoria was fast since it meant that he could return, even just a little faster...

After flying for an entire 5 days Mars reached his limit and they were forced to stop, thankfully they had just reached a city were they would hopefully be able to find room. Mars and 78 walked down the main road in the city after passing the inspection at the gates and soon they found an Inn where they rented a room and as soon as Mars walked in he collapsed on the bed as Victoria jumped out of her shadow and also laid down on the bed and soon matched Mars' snoring

”...What am I going to do with you two?”

78 gave a sigh as she complained with a smile on her face before she locked the door to their room and also laid down on the bed before she curled up and soon fell asleep too... As Mars slept he was once again was once again haunted by nightmares.

”Wake up... You can't sleep here Varvei”

Varvei felt something shaking her, which was annoying since she had just fallen asleep and after being shaken for some time she opened her eyes and stared at Chloe that was shaking her with mild anger before she spoke

”Then where should I sleep?”

”In your room, not up here on the roof!”

”...Che, fine”

Varvei got up, she had once again been training until her body collapsed, but in order to not concern Chloe even more she tried her best to hide her shaking legs as she walked downstairs after Chloe while she used her tail to keep her balance as her vision blurred

'Shit...'

But that was the least of her problems because when the two of them reached the living room they suddenly heard a loud bang from the front door, almost as if someone was trying to kick it in, Chloe looked at Varvei and spoke

”I'll go get my sword, can you hold down the front?”

”Sure, off you go Chloe”

”...Are you really sure you'll be fine Varvei?”

”...Yeah it's probably just that starker again”

Varvei sat down in a chair and waited until the door was kicked in for the 5th time this month and then a loud voice was heard from the direction of the door

”Varvei my darling I am here to see you!”

Varvei gave a sigh as she stood up from the chair again and transformed her body for combat, she grew out claws, horns and bone spikes on her tail as a handsome young man with horns walked into the living room, he was without a doubt the person Varvei wanted to see the least her so called starker, a half dragon that had arrived in Green river a few weeks ago and had pestered her ever since

”Ah, you look just as gorgeous today too Varvei my darling!”

”Go back to where you crawled out from you slimy bug!”
