Adam's grin widened. "Actually, I had sothing fun in mind."
He turned, motioning for her to follow as he led her toward the kitchen window.
When she peered outside, her breath hitched.
The streets below were packed with stunned onlookers with their faces illuminated by the soft glow of a massive, light-blue lifelike dragon made entirely of mana.
Its form coiled gracefully in the middle of the road, majestic and terrifying all at once. The sheer size and presence of the construct made it impossible to ignore.
Marie blinked rapidly. "The hell…"
Even from above, she could see the sea of flashing phone caras, livestreams, and frenzied chatter.
The dragon shifted with its enormous head lifting, then lowering toward the building's side, presenting itself for them to climb aboard.
Adam offered her his hand. "Shall we?"
Marie looked from him to the dragon, then back at him. "You do realize this is about to break the internet, right?"
Adam sighed, rubbing his temple. "You were coming with anyway. Your apartnt isn't going to be your ho for much longer, might as well get used to it."
Marie shook her head with a grin, accepting his hand.
"Fair enough."
She stepped up, carefully settling onto the dragon's back, the mana construct was surprisingly stable beneath her.
Adam followed, and the mont they were both secure, the dragon unfurled its massive wings.
Then, with a single powerful flap, it launched into the air.
The force of its ascent sent a gust of wind roaring through the streets, causing people to stumble back with their excited screams echoing through the city.
Phones were raised. Livestreams surged past a hundred thousand views in seconds.
Every cara followed the glowing beast as it soared toward Ro.
(7:05 PM)
The dragon soared gracefully through the evening sky, its massive, glowing wings slicing through the air with every beat. The wind rushed past them in powerful currents, but rather than resist it, Marie embraced it.
She threw her hands up, laughing freely, her braids whipping behind her as she tilted her head back, letting the sheer exhilaration wash over her.
"This is insane!" she shouted over the rushing air, grinning ear to ear. "Way better than a plane!"
Adam, seated comfortably beside her, simply smiled as he glanced toward the sky.
Not far from them, a comrcial plane cruised through the air with its cabin windows glinting under the sunset. Inside, he could clearly see the passengers with their faces pressed against the glass and eyes wide in absolute shock.
So were already scrambling for their phones, filming the glowing dragon cutting through the clouds beside them.
Adam sighed. 'Of course.'
The commotion inside the plane escalated, so passengers frantically gesturing to the flight attendants, others clearly shouting in panic. It was obvious what they were thinking.
Dungeon Break.
Before things got out of hand, Adam casually raised a hand.
A massive mana screen materialized in front of the plane, hovering just beyond the cockpit's windshield but not obstructing their view. The startled pilots pulled back, with their hands hesitating over the controls.
Then, his voice resonated through the sky, clear and calming.
"Relax, everyone. This is just a mana construct. No dungeon break. No threat."
The panic inside the plane visibly shifted to confusion. Passengers turned to each other, pointing at the glowing screen as Adam's words sank in.
Then, recognition sparked across their faces.
"C'est lui!"
"Le chasseur Adam Sen!"
"Mon Dieu, c'est le Saint!"
Adam arched a brow. 'French?'
Marie, still grinning, turned to look at the plane. Her eyes glead with amusent.
"Looks like you've got fans in France already." she teased.
Adam exhaled, shaking his head. "Figured that would happen eventually."
The passengers, now realizing who he was, began waving excitedly, so even pressing their hands against the glass. A few even ford a praying gesture, mouthing words he couldn't hear.
Marie chuckled. "Man, you're gonna have an entire continent worshiping you soon."
Adam just rolled his eyes, dismissing the mana screen before focusing ahead.
Ro was getting closer.
(7:32 PM)
As the light-blue dragon construct descended gracefully onto an open field, its massive form shimred before dispersing into countless fading motes of mana. The wind settled, leaving only the rustling of grass and the faint city lights in the distance.
Without missing a beat, Adam raised a hand. In an instant, he and Marie vanished from the spot, reappearing right in front of a grand, modern villa.
The warm glow of the interior lights seeped through the windows, casting a welcoming atmosphere. Before they could even knock, the door swung open, revealing a resigned Petruccio.

He didn't say anything at first. Instead, he lifted his phone, turning the screen toward Adam.
Breaking news.
A live video feed of Adam Sen riding a massive glowing dragon through the Italian skies with his girlfriend seated behind him.
Marie stifled a laugh, throwing Adam a knowing glance.
Adam, scratching his chin with a mock-pondering expression, simply shook his head. "Hmm… I don't know that guy."
Petruccio barked out a laugh before stepping aside, waving them in.
But before Adam could even take a proper step inside-
Excited, high-pitched voices erupted from the living room.
Then, thunderous footsteps.
Three small figures burst into the hallway, sprinting full speed toward them. Two young boys and a little girl.
Their eyes were wide with awe and their energy boundless as they jumped and bounced around Adam like hyperactive rabbits.
"Oh my god, THE SAINT IS HERE!!" one of the boys shouted, practically vibrating with excitent.
"Is the dragon here too?!" the other demanded.
Before Adam could answer, one of the boys clambered up his arm, perching on his shoulder like a tiny monkey.
Unfortunately for him, his balance wasn't the best.
He slipped.
Before he could hit the ground, Adam caught him effortlessly with one hand, holding him up like a trophy.
The boy just laughed, completely unfazed. "That was aweso! But really, where's the dragon?!"
Adam, amused, simply snapped his fingers.
Three small, translucent dragon constructs materialized, each a different color, one red, one green, one yellow.
Without hesitation, the floating dragons scooped up the kids, lifting them into the air and sending them soaring around the house.
Their laughter echoed through the villa as they playfully maneuvered midair with their tiny hands flailing in excitent.
Petruccio sighed heavily, rubbing his temples. "I apologize in advance for their overwhelming energy."
Marie, grinning, crossed her arms. "Oh, please. Adam has no right to complain. He literally showed off a massive dragon in broad view."
Adam chuckled but didn't deny it.
As the children zood around on their mini dragons, a warm and bright voice filled the hallway.
Petruccio's wife appeared, wearing an apron and her smile as radiant as the soft lighting in the house.
Marie perked up, imdiately drawn in by the woman's natural warmth.
"Ahh, so this is the girlfriend!" Petruccio's wife bead, stepping forward and hugging her in greeting. "Nice to et you! I'm Lucia."

Marie, pleasantly surprised, hugged her back. "Marie. It's nice to et you too, Lucia."
Despite just eting, the two won instantly clicked.
Lucia then turned toward Adam with her expression softening with gratitude.
She bowed her head slightly before eting his gaze.
"Thank you." she said with her voice carrying an emotion deeper than re words. "For saving my husband. For stopping that monster from taking him away."
A flicker of guilt passed over Petruccio's face.
Marie, noticing, patted Lucia's shoulder reassuringly.
Adam, always direct, simply nodded. "Petruccio fought with honor. Be proud of that, not what could've gone wrong."
Lucia smiled, nodding.
Then, clapping her hands together, she straightened. "Alright! Enough heavy talk, dinner is almost ready!"
She turned, already heading toward the kitchen, but before she could go alone...
Marie smiled and followed after her. "I'll help. I'm not about to sit around while you do all the work."
Lucia bead. "Oh, I like you already."
Petruccio, watching the two disappear into the kitchen, sighed. "Welp. Guess we leave them to it."
He then gestured toward the living room. "Co, let's sit."
Adam, hands in his pockets, threw one last glance at the floating, giggling children.
They were having the ti of their lives.
With a slight chuckle, he dismissed the mini-dragons, gently lowering the kids back onto the ground.
Then, without a word, he followed Petruccio inside.
