Malina clenched her teeth, her eyes burning with anger as she searched for the one who had spoken out of turn.
John leaned in, remarking, "A tigress? That's actually quite fitting."
Malina shot him a fierce glare and changed the subject, "Level me up. Where's Avis?"
She looked around, puzzled at not seeing Avis.
"He's got something to do," John replied, not offering any further explanation.
"Something to do?" Malina was skeptical. Avis was his pet; what could he possibly have to do?
"How are we supposed to get to Jade City? On foot?" She frowned slightly. The distance to Jade City was considerable, and even reaching the nearest town would take half a day.
"No need for that hassle. We'll fly." John manipulated the Sword of Divinity and Demons, stepping directly onto its broad blade.
Malina was taken aback, surprised that John could actually perform Sword Flight, and she couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
