'Is this the end?' She wondered with a hardened expression. Once more, regret was trying to overwhelm her, but this time, she was the one who decided. She momentarily closed her eyes and reopened them; all of this happened in a flash.

For some unknown reason, the control of her mana came back as if it was never gone to begin.

Sera didn't believe that this was a coincidence, but she would be a fool and not make use of this opportunity, and so she did.

''Shadow World.'' The world around Sera was plunged into eerie darkness as soon as she summoned her domain.

''Death's han-" Barely had she begun calling the name of her most dreadful technique that everything vanished, and someone appeared above her. She was frozen on the spot.

Towering above her and closer to two meters was the most handsome young man she had ever seen, with heterochromia eyes, a mix of silver and blue, and long silver hair. His face seemed to have been carved by gods; however, it was not because of the man's handsome face she stood frozen; it was because she recognized him.

No matter how handsome he had become or would become, she would always recognize him because he was the one she gave her heart to, the one she decided to spend the rest of her life with, the eternity if it ever existed. The culprit was none other than Alex.

Staring into those frozen brown eyes, Alex's lips curved up, and he asked.

''Howdy, my sweet assassin? Do you like my surprise?"

A moment of silence before Sera answered.

''Of course, I do.'' She answered with a sweet smile; however, Alex didn't find this smile so sweet because her leg was moving dangerously closer to his groin.

''I don't believe so. If true, then why are you trying to make me impotent?" He asked with a playful smile. Sera stopped her sneak attack and turned around to hide her blushing face and, more importantly, to control her heart, racing like a doped horse.

''Don't know what you are talking about.''

''Come on, no need to be shy, love. I-'' Alex, who was about to continue teasing Sera, stopped, and his lips curved upward into an evil grin, and Sera, who happened to see this, immediately understood that what he did, he had done it with a purpose. It was not hard to predict what Alex's purpose was.

All those theatrical lines were used to lure the real boss into the depth of the forest. His goal was simple what would happen if he used some cliché line to pose as the Boss while the real one was hiding somewhere? Obviously, the real boss would feel insulted and would come out and lay judgment on the one that pretended to be the boss.

''Here he comes,'' Alex mumbled, already back into his normal form. As for the incoming monster already aware of his silver form, forget it; there is no way it could happen as the latter sense could penetrate his domain.

''Bold ants, how dare you to play with this king? I will kill you and torture your soul.'' A powerful voice rang out, followed by terrifying pressure upon the duo; Sera's legs almost gave out but thanks to Alex's help the pressure she was feeling vanished like a joke.

They lifted their eyes to see a gargantuan shadow beast, twelve meters long, with large wings, short forelegs, and a long tail.

''D-dragon?!" Sera paled, eyes filled with fear, but Alex was unfazed as he had seen a real dragon, this thing looked like a dragon, but at best, it could be called a wyvern, not a real dragon.

''You mean giant lizard?" Alex asked with his head tilted to the side.

At first, Sera thought that maybe she had misheard but seeing the smile on his lips, she understood that this man was making fun of the monster in the sky and if the story about the dragon was correct. This thing would be pretty pissed by his comment, and. Indeedemerald wyvern was, as overlord of this place since he fled that elf who slaughtered them to collect their cores; nobody had talked to him as this punny human with a bit of strength did. He had to teach him a lesson.

''Grrrrrrrrr!" Rattled by Alex's mocking words, the emerald wyvern grumbled in frustration; its jaws opened wide, assaulting Alex's group with ear-splitting roars.

The earth cracked, and trees burst into splinters, but Alex snapped his fingers, conjuring a silver barrier that prevented this destructive roar from affecting them. The ease with which the punny human dismantled the Draconic Roar startled the monster, forcing him to give Alex a new appraisal.

"What are you roaring at me for? I just started what I see. For some, you might be a dragon, but for me, you're just a giant lizard, a giant lizard with wings, no a lucky lizard with wings.'' Alex stated with a calm face that one would think that he was saying some earth-shattered truth.

The emerald wyvern's face turned livid, and Sera burst out in laughter.

''Pft! Hahahahaha. Please stop; he is too pitiful.'' She declared, and Alex looked at her strangely.

''What?" She was confused by the look he was giving her.

Alex shook his head. ''Nothing, but you got the potential.''

Sera didn't ask what potential Alex was talking about because she felt like beating the shit out of him if she were ever to know.

Meanwhile, the emerald wyvern in the sky felt insulted, its dignity tossed and trampled by this couple. The monster never knew that words could be so infuriating.

However, the following sentence that came out of Alex's mouth made the emerald wyvern wobble, almost falling.

''It is decided, you will become a pet. Her pet.'' Alex said, pointing at Sera; the latter was shocked by the sudden declaration.

''Me?" She pointed at her, unsure if Alex was joking or seriously talking. Joking because he might be trying to anger the emerald wyvern to death.
