But then, Master Kos' eyes suddenly turned sharp, and looked at Michael with a playful smile.
"You...you're one of the challengers for the inheritance for the Night King. Interesting"
When Michael heard him, he was a bit startled, and at the same time curious as he really doesn't know the story behind that fragment that he had gotten before and even caused him to become a wanted player back at Sharval Kingdom, wasting the reputation and friendship that he had built with the NPCs there.
"Hmm..It seems you don't know anything about it just based from your expression right now"
"Yes, please enlighten me Master Kos!"
"Hohoho!"
Master Kos just laughed at his request and suddenly closed his eyes, while Tina just looked at the two of them confused, while the two pets, the rabbit and the hawk are playing around them, and the dragon once again lazed around and started sleeping.
After a few seconds of closing his eyes, Master Kos abruptly opened them as brilliance shone from them, then he looked at Michael and said, "No, I can't tell you anything about it young man. Go on a journey and slowly learn about him"
"Come Tina, I'll teach you another skill before I depart today!"
"Yes Teacher! Later bro! Wait for me, okay?"
Master Kos called out to Tina and led her inside a cave behind the sleeping dragon, while Tina immediately followed behind him, with her pet hawk who quickly came flying over and landed on her head.
Michael just stared at their backs with a thoughtful look on his face, trying to comprehend what Master Kos said.
But then realized that Master Kos is probably not talking in riddles, but literally told him to travel around the continent, and find out the story behind the Night King himself.
At first he thought that Master Kos was telling to go on a pilgrimage because the guy is a monk, but when he thought deeper about it, he realized that this isn't the real world where the ancient humans would go an adventure or pilgrimage like the first vikings or other famous people did.
And specially that Master Kos is not the typical monk that worsh.i.p.s Buddha but someone who worsh.i.p.s the God of War.
After all, the monks in this world are all two faced, they are kind when people are kind to them, but they become an asura when angered or provoked.
A few minutes later, Tina came out looking very happy, followed by Master Kos, who immediately took a leap towards the sky and landed on the back or more like on the neck part of the Earth Dragon, whom the latter's eyes immediately snapped open and slowly stood up from the ground.
"Boy, make sure to keep an eye to my student! Hohoho!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Rock and stone debris fell down on the ground, causing the ground to tremble a little.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Wait..it actually had wings?" Michael was a bit startled when he saw the two giant wings that sprouted from the dragon's back.
"Of course...it would have been called a lizard instead of a dragon now, do we?"
"But a dragon is just an overgrown lizard with a pair of wings, who could also breathe fire"
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Then the Earth Dragon started flapping its wings as it slowly took off from the ground, while causing dust and pebbles to billow around them, and both Michael and Tina was even forced to shield their eyes using one of their hands, as they watched the Earth Dragon and Master Kos fly away.
"Haist, I also want a dragon as a mount"
Zap!
Michael had just said those words when a bolt of lightning came crashing towards his direction, but he immediately rolled forward, successfully avoiding getting hit by the black lightning and from the embarrassing memory of being the first player to be killed by his own pet.
"F*ck! You can't even fly! Is it wrong to dream of having a dragon as a pet!?"
"Arodan!"
Zap! Zap! Zap!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Michael ran around the valley, as he clumsily dodged the bolts of lightning that all came crashing towards him, along with the intent to kill him.
Tina just watched the scene in front of her with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"F*ck! Return!" Michael cursed, as he rolled backwards, and yelled when he regained his footing, as the Dual Horned Elemental Rabbit turned into light particles and disappeared, returning to Michael's Pet Panel space.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Michael panted before walking towards Tina with a miserable expression on his face.
"Are you two always like that?" Tina asked, as she can't understand the reason why Michael's pet rabbit seems to be very hostile towards him, when even though it acts normally cute around her.
"I don't know, it's just a perverted rabbit, make sure to ignore it next time, okay?" said Michael, as he looked really tired and stressed.
"Okay" Tina just nodded, but inside, she clearly can't guarantee that she would be able to ignore that little cutie.
Michael then led Tina out of the other entrance of the valley, where the surrounding one mile is devoid of any monsters because of the presence of the Earth Dragon before.
Then both of them started killing monsters around a monster map called Kuberun Swamp, a dangerous swamp with the level of monsters ranging from Level 18 and Level 23, and the forest can be found after players pass the cave where Master Kos stayed in during his stay in the mountain.
And right now, Michael and Tina are up against a Level 23 Lizardman, while Michael is busy kiting the monster around and keeping the aggro on him, while his pet rabbit, then the little hawk along with Tina are busy attacking the monster.
