Chapter 673 - Savage Trip (1/2)

A/N: Before I begin this chapter, I want to say that Savage Land is right in the middle of the x-men and avengers series. Now that I have chosen to add this here, many things will be au and I won't dive deep down into the lore of the land. I feel that it would be a great mistake to add more stuff to a mystical land than it already has. When I say savage land, many might think of Shanna O'Hara. No doubt she is hot but I read her complete story and... well, let's see. I'm not sure if I want to add her to the harem and she might have a kid. Of course, that isn't what's stopping me... it's just that, compared to Shanna, I might just add an OC or even Vertigo.

”Everyone,” Nik stood in front of the girls with his eyes moistened with emotions. ”How long will we remain fettered by the confines of our society? I ask you all! Should we live life to the fullest or just grind on this routine? Eat, sleep, and f.u.c.k? Where's the adventure? The passion? The romance?”

*Yawn*

As Nik's gaze landed on Natasha, she closed her mouth. Even Cindy, in her nightwear, suppressed a yawn. Only Anna seemed to enjoy Nik's theatrics as he sighed, ”I've found a perfect place to have fun. The savage lands! Dinosaurs, barbarians, and many more secrets remain in that place.”

The word dinosaur caught Angela's attention while Cindy and Anna were finally attracted. They were definitely interested in such a place but it sounded a little dangerous.

”I'm sorry,” even Mary groaned softly, ”It's already 3 in the morning and we have to—”

”I know, I know!” Nik smiled. He had found such an amazing location so he truly couldn't care for the school anymore and wished to explore that place. After all, the Savage Land wasn't only filled with dinosaurs. ”That's why I'm proposing that I'll make a personal trip there. Have a look if that place is worth adventuring or not. Angela, you can join in on it, I have no problem with that. Meanwhile, you guys can keep on with your routine. Cindy, you've got your daily patrolling with Ava and others, too. Meanwhile, Anna and Mary need to get used to their symbiotes, and Natasha is busy with Shield, too.”

Nik smiled, two portals appeared in the living room, ”I didn't let you guys sleep right after it because I'm leaving now!” His excited expression served to soften their expression. It was rare for Nik to feel this much excitement. After all, he can steal from others whenever he wants but with a ticking clock and a large expanse to explore, this brought Nik a sense of urgency, too. But he couldn't just leave before his daily activities came to a conclusion.

”Wait, you're leaving now?” Anna groaned as Nik nodded. ”Remember that we were supposed to find Newton together but he just called me out of nowhere? I owe you one adventure so instead of having all the fun myself, I'll save some for you, too. Of course, once you get used to the symbiote.”

Under the girl's stunned expression, Angela stood with a plain expression and drew her sword, looking towards Nik inquisitively made him snicker, ”the right portal is ours to enter. Bye, guys. Will meet you in a week!” With a wave, he walked inside the portal while Cindy yawned and stumbled into the portal meant for her and instantly fell on her bed with a soft 'oomph' and started sleeping soundly.

Fierce winds blew as a couple walked out of a stable violet hole connected to the unknown. The wide expanse was white and pure looking. The cold sky was cloudy. Feeling the cool ice under their feet, Nik mused for a while before pointing at the extremely large mountain. ”Quick! Let's begin with climbing that range. The Savage Lands is situated on the other side!”

”Can we not teleport there?” Angela sighed and sheathed her sword once again as Nik shook his head. ”I want the full package. And the last time I climbed a mountain, it didn't end so well. Let's see if I am any good now!”

He thought back at how he fell down the cliff due to a mistake before his life of traveling worlds began.

”This mountain range is called Eternity Mountains... here, grab my hand,” Nik smirked and extended his palm towards the wingless angel. With raised eyebrows, Angela curiously grabbed Nik's arms when he suddenly clenched his hold and flexed his muscles.

”You—” Angela was tongue' tied when Nik threw her high in the air. The speed demonic enough to make even Angela shiver a little but her expression turned flushed as she spread her arms and looked down.

Even with more than a kilometer of distance between them, Nik and Angela looked towards each other and smiled. Not willing to just fly and ruin his own experience, Nik crouched and finally jumped. His hair waved around wildly as he reached closer to Angela and hurriedly held her hand before twisting mid-air and throwing Angela high once again!

”Whoooooo!”

Both of them grinned as Nik thought for a moment before falling towards the highest point of the mountain and jumped high again. His jump caused a large rumble to pass through the mountain range and he made his way closer to Angela. Weightless and refreshed by the cold air, Angela inquired with a pleasant expression, ”What about climbing the mountain?”

Even with gales of cold air between them, Nik heard everything clearly, ”We are climbing it! But this way is more fun!” he snickered and extended his palm towards Angela who promptly grabbed it this time with no intention of letting go.

”Together!” She exclaimed as Nik could already see the vast expanse of greenery on the other side of the mountain. A group of 'birds' flying about in the distance as Nik twisted and threw Angela sideways. Instead of letting go, Nik let himself get carried away by the momentum. Looking down on the mountain, Nik couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

”Who screwed up this time, huh?” He laughed as the couple launched in the air started to dive down at an even greater pace but instead of fear, Angela's face was plastered with an easygoing grin.

”Skreeeee!”

As if sensing the highspeed humanoid projectile, the living organisms under the point of impact started roaring and screeching in panic. But the two couldn't care. If one meteor couldn't finish off the entire race, why would their descent be of any harm?

*Swish*

Tearing through the air, the two raised their arms, and the moment they came into the contact with the wet ground, Nik licked his lips and propelled himself against the pressure. His body creaked but Nik jumped nonetheless with his limbs swinging in the air and he nimbly landed on a branch of the nearest tree which only broke due to the force of the landing.

Meanwhile, Angela grunted and slowly stood up. Flipping her hair behind, she looked around without giving any attention to her current visage. Muddied and haggard, her bright eyes swept through the trees and already located a multitude of beasts that looked as delicious as the one that Nik cooked.
