My Mage System

Chapter 13 - A Disturbance In The Spiritual Energy

Kevin used his perception skill to make sure the beast that was facing him growling was really Axel.

[ STATS ]

Name : AXEL

Race : Shapeshifter (???)

Level ???

Class : Fighter

Well, at least he wasn’t in danger of getting eaten up, he said out loud : “Fuck Axel, you and me we don’t really have the same notion of what a wolf is.”

The wolf in front of him had a black fur and on closer inspection his deep blue eyes were the same as Axel’s. He must have been at least 2.50m tall, just his paws were already taller than him.

Now, he understood better why Alan had said that, and besides his impressive size, his wolf gave off an aura of power that was stronger and wilder than Axel’s.

Kevin stepped forward slowly and stretched out his hand to stroke him, Axel rested his muzzle on his hand and after licking it, he himself rubbed his head against his hand.

Kevin laughed and scratched him behind his ears, that was usually where dogs liked to be petted, and when he heard him moan, he thought that he guessed it right.

He told him what went through his mind : “Too bad you’re so tall, I could never walk around with you in that form.”

Axel, although he was in his wolf form, fully understood what Kevin was telling him. He had wanted to show him his original form to see if Kevin would run away from him but this little one hadn’t even shown a hint of fear.

So he started to reduce his height and stopped when he was the same height as Kevin, the latter swore when he saw him change his height and Axel took advantage of the fact that he was speechless to lick his cheek, he could always play innocent when he would resume his human appearance.

Kevin swore again and wiped away the slime Axel the Wolf had just put on his cheek.

He said to Axel as he continued to stroke him : “You look a little more like the image I have of a wolf like that. Damn, I should have asked you questions before you shapeshifted.

You’re already super fast when you’re in human form but I guess you have to be even faster in your wolf form, right ?”

Axel, who was enjoying Kevin’s caresses, felt it would be even better to feel him closer to his body, so he bent down and made Kevin understand to ride him, he was going to show him how fast he could go.

Axel had already noticed that Kevin liked speed, so he was going to show him the good sides of having a wolf as a boyfriend.

When Kevin saw him bend down and motion for him to ride him, he grabbed his head and looked him in the eye to ask : “Can I really ride on your back, are you sure ?”

Axel to answer him licked his cheek again, and Kevin took that for a yes, so after removing again the slime on his face, he looked at him with a what the fuck expression.

But he didn’t say anything and he climbed on his back. Even though he was a little afraid of hurting Axel he grabbed his fur around his neck to do not fall.

He was riding Axel as he rode his racing motorbike he had owned in his past life, besides virtual reality games, speed was another of his greatest pleasures.

But when Axel dashed through the woods, the sensation he felt was far more intense than anything he had experienced before, same the parachute jump was nothing compared to the speed at which Axel was moving.

At one point Axel had jumped off the top of a cliff and he had started running across the sea, and when he propelled himself, he could jump over thirty meters.

Kevin was having one of the best times of his life and he didn’t want it to stop but once back in the forest, Axel slowed down and ended up coming to a complete stop, he was sniffing the air around him.

Kevin looked at him frowning, he had to sense something unusual, then Axel began to growl looking in one direction, so he said to him : “If you want to go, go ahead, I promise you that whatever it is I won’t be reckless.”

Axel had never been to this part of the forest before, he was caught up in his wolfish instinct and had run free without paying attention to where he was going.

He knew it would take him about 30min at full speed to get back to the city, and that was what he had intended to do when his senses spotted a disturbance in the spiritual energy.

That could only mean two things, the first was that there was a dungeon nearby that he didn’t know about, and the second, which was much more problematic and dangerous for Kevin, was that it was a teleportation portal.

Teleportation portals were created by very powerful mages and could be used by anyone, be it humans, shapeshifters or demons, he will only be able to judge the danger by approaching it.

Kevin had just given him his consent to go check it out and he knew that he was the cautious type, so if things got dangerous Kevin would undoubtedly be able to hide and go unnoticed.

With that in mind, Axel walked over to where the disturbance of the spiritual energy was coming from, and after only a few minutes he finally relaxed when he saw that it was ultimately just a dungeon.

It was rather unexpected to stumble upon a dungeon in this part of the forest, and this dungeon hadn’t been looted yet, so it was the jackpot.

He used his wolf’s senses to make sure that the level of this dungeon was acceptable and judging from what he was sensing, he was able to deal with it on his own, no need to create an expedition team.

When Axel stopped in front of this cliff that was in the middle of the forest, Kevin immediately saw what had drawn him here, and the sound of the System then echoed in his head.

[ OPTIONAL QUEST ]

Team up with Axel and kill the dungeon boss.

– Reward 1 : 10 Stats points

– Reward 2 : 2 000 gold coins

– Reward 3 : low grade box × 1

Kevin almost wanted to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating, these rewards were really tempting, but he felt like the hard part wouldn’t be killing the dungeon boss but rather convincing Axel to let him come with him.

He slid off Axel’s back and approached the dungeon gate which looked like a blue vortex, Axel immediately put his wolf head on his shoulder to make him understand not to move any closer and Kevin stroked him to reassure him that he got the message.
