5 Who the hell is this woman? ( 2 )

After discovering that the woman called Susan was his aunt. Xavier thought,' Does that mean I have other family members?'

" This isn't a good place to talk. How about you follow me home?" Vivian gave her in choice but to accept.

" Why not?" Susan accepted the request.

After making it to the house, Vivian and Susan were presently inside.

" Am I bothering you? Vivian asked worriedly.

" The commission? I did that hours ago."

" I mean they don't call you an S rank adventurer for nothing." Vivian smiled warmly.

' So Susan, my aunt, was an S rank adventurer?'

" Were you an adventurer, mom?" Even though Xavier tried not to pry, he couldn't help but ask.

" Oh, yes! I needed money and considering I was able to use magic; an adventurer was the best choice. Yet, I was only A rank and not S rank, unlike Susan."

" That's still considered a high rank. If you had stayed longer you would be able to become an S rank because you would deal great support both as a healer and attacker."

" You think so?" She blushed," Oh, I forgot to tell you that Susan is your aunt."

" I heard," Xavier answered instantly. Then he asked a question he had since he found out," How strong are you?"

" Oh, if you want to find out then I'll be more than glad to show you. I'll bring him back later." Susan then lifted Xavier with one hand. Her body was so rock-hard that it made Xavier shriek for his life ( She was even stronger than Feran when it came to muscle).

' Gorilla!'

" As long as you don't steal him then it's fine." Vivian chuckled.

Susan then repositioned Xavier on her shoulders and left the house.

" Seriously, you're as tough as a horse."

" Thanks."

" And that wasn't a compliment!" Xavier exclaimed. Xavier then questioned, "So anyway, where are you taking me?"

" You'll see once we get there."

Though she walked slowly she was surprisingly fast; even faster than Xavier could move even though she walked in a slow gesture. She even zoomed through the town. Though, people gave her weird glances because she was carrying a child who tried countless times to run away.

After hours of walking, they had finally made it.

" Are we here?" Xavier quickly looked around but was left with disappointment.

" Why the hell are we in front of a cave?" Xavier pointed at the cave as his eyebrows twitched.

It was as he said, they were literally in front of a cave. A huge one, no a tremendously big one was correct.

Susan walked inside of the cave as if it was nothing.

" Hey, it could be dangerous in there! If you come back with my head my mom won't ever forgive you!" Xavier shouted outside of the cave even though she was already deep inside.

" Fine, fine!" He rushed like a horse. He didn't want to be alone. And he forgot the way back.

Xavier, without realizing it, had forgotten to ask if he had other family members.

The cave was awfully dark. He could not see anything.

" You got any lights?"

" There's no need for that."

Susan then made light with small flames using magic.

" You probably should've done that early." Xavier pointlessly mentioned.

While going through a long tunnel, they saw light radiating from deeper down the cave.

" Finally, natural light." Xavier rushed down the cave tunnel. Before he could even reach far, Susan appeared in front of him stopping him.

" How are you s-,"

" Over there," Susan whispered in his ears while pointing at something.

As unbelievable as it sounded, it was a dragon. Not like one in a fantasy novel or dream but a real-life dragon. It wasn't as big as it was made out to be though.

" No way, that's a dragon!" Xavier yelled.

" It isn't, that's what we call a Black Wyvern. Dragons are extinct now since their countable by hand. Look closer, what do you see there that isn't something a dragon has."

Xavier then looked at the Black Wyvern. Unlike a dragon, it was fairly small. Its color and body structure also differed from a dragon.

" So this is what you came here to investigate? I thought you told mom that you were already finished?"

" You're correct, if I had told Vivian that I didn't finish my job yet she would force me to go back. Though, that's just how she is."

Xavier knew what Susan said about Vivian was obviously the truth.

" It isn't a job or commission from the Adventurers Guild though. I just felt something powerful around the area so I came to investigate it until Vivian and you came along."

" What do you mean by you felt something powerful?"

" That I can't put into words." She replied.

Susan shot a fireball at the Black Wyvern. It shrieked loudly as it raised its body from the ground. It seemed that it was sleeping. The Black Wyvern opened its mouth widely. An immense beam shot out at its mouth aiming for Susan. Susan dodged and ran to the sides drawing her sword. She conducted a strong flame ball and shot it inside its mouth. It was a diversion. She jumped with great force and plunged her sword into its eye. The Black Wyvern now in pain wiggled its head to make Susan go away.

" Omnidirectional Fire Pillars!"

Multiple fires pillars shot out from the surface of the ground and burned the Black Wyvern alive. But that wasn't a problem anymore, the real problem was the surface of the cave then tunneled to the ground and buried the Black Wyvern. Susan grabbed Xavier by his abdomen and dashed outside of the cave.

" It's a good thing you're fast otherwise I'd be crushed. Though who's fault is it, surely not the person in front of me?"

" It's your fault for wanting to tag along."

" I didn't say anything like that. Anyways, who's stronger, you or dad?"

"Obviously, Feran! They don't call them Holy Knights for show."

" I see."

"You're not awakened yet, right? Then I'll help you with that." Susan's face changed as she then said," Fight me!"
