Critical hit! Defeated Level 29 Charismatic Basilisk. 232XP rewarded.

The monster’s head hit the dirt with a loud thud as it stilled, not so much as forcing out a death cry. Azure silently cheered his success.

It was short-lived, though, because of a hissing sound coming from behind him. Spinning on his heels, Azure saw another basilisk standing only a few yards away. Their eyes met, and he knew he should run. Enough time hadn’t elapsed to cast Greasy Summon again, and there wasn’t enough space between them.

Instead, Azure turned tail, rounding the dead basilisk to avoid its trail. Of course, the other basilisk had no such issue needing to go around, since one basilisk’s acid didn’t hurt another. Being able to go straight through shortened the distance between the monster and its query. It snapped at Azure’s heels but blessedly missed. He was even more grateful that it hadn’t spit at him, because he had definitely been within range. Perhaps his Luck stat had finally kicked in to save him some grief.

While basilisks could travel fast at short distances, they had very limited endurance, and Azure was able to outrun the monster. For a moment, he thought about turning to shoot at it, but he didn’t feel lucky enough that he would chance allowing the basilisk to catch up to him a second time. So instead, he summoned Flicka, hoping that the mystical horse didn’t retain any memories from what he’d done to it back at the shrine.

If Azure had had time to marvel or be confused, he would have taken it, but he didn’t. The horse that appeared from the ether definitely was not the same one he had relied on all this time. Where Flicka had been a painted mare, this one was a bay gelding, about half a hand taller than Flicka had been. His eyes were wild as Azure approached, and the connection that Azure felt with the horse was spotty compared to the strong bond he had felt with Flicka, but he didn’t have time to focus on that either. He just needed the horse to get him out of the area.

Grabbing a fistful of the gelding’s long mane, Azure kicked his leg over its back. The horse took off almost before Azure could mount it and definitely before he was settled. He held on for dear life as it galloped through the forest in an undetermined direction. It wasn’t until Azure was able to look up and give the mental command for where it needed to go that the gelding corrected its course. However, it still wasn’t entirely obedient.

Once they were safely out of reach of the basilisk, Azure commanded the horse to slow down, but it wouldn’t. He felt fear radiating from the animal, and he couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of what had happened to Flicka. Apparently, the horses that Azure summoned were capable of death, even if they did come from some magical dimension. That made him feel absolutely terrible for the fate he had forced on Flicka, but he couldn’t change the past now.
