Chapter 110 Class: Healer

Chapter 110 Class: Healer

(The Second Volume)

A search had begun.

Alex got information on the two dorks from Nicole and was on his way to find them and get the necessary things. He wasn't alone, he had Nixie with him.

Melissa couldn't support him actively, but Nixie could. He had learnt of this fact when she rescued him from the Church of the Cursed's men.

"Darling, you should know that you're not in a position to take on two men together," said Nix while driving her Supra at a really high speed.

The custom-made engine was revving and Nixie was making use of the whole damn speedometer!

Her reasoning was: "I paid for the whole car, I am gonna use the whole damn car!"

They were cruising at a whopping 200+ mph and Alex couldn't even see the cars on the road properly. This was really dangerous and one hit... they both would see God.

Despite being at such high speeds, Nix was as relaxed as a woman in a spa. n./O(/V/-e-(1)-b)(I((n

They weren't in Austin anymore but were on their way to Houston, which was roughly three hours away.

Nixie had specifically mentioned that they should leave at midnight. He didn't know why she'd make such a request, but now he knew.

She wanted empty roads!

At night, most of the vehicles on the road were trucks and very few cars. Nix thus had a good time driving and only when they were on bad small town roads would she drive a little less fast.

She didn't slow down, she was still averaging at 70 mph even on those roads.

The only time Nix slowed down was when they needed fueling. A modified sports car with nitro boosts burned fuel really fast.

As for Nix's comment, the way she worded it was sus, but Alex didn't bother with it. English wasn't Nixie's first language and she might not be conscious of her choice of words. Secondly, they were going too fast and Alex didn't want to risk his life by distracting Nix in their talks.

Alex just did a few hand gestures and told her they'll talk about it later.

Nixie didn't comment on it further and enjoyed her driving. Italy didn't have such long roads where they could drive so fast, you know?

Even though it was illegal to go this fast, they could always pay some money and get away with it as long as they didn't harm anyone.

The black Supra with neon green wheels shined under the moonlight, grabbing the attention of everybody they passed. Too bad, people could only see a glimpse of it.

In a little over an hour, the young couple reached Houston and Nixie slowed down when on the main city's road.

She still passed through the city quickly and soon, they were out of it and near the beach.

The car was parked at a paid parking area by the beach and the two walked their way to the location given by Nicole.

The two were careful with their steps and moved through the areas with vegetation. They didn't go to the shore right away as the target was at the shore.

Ten minutes of walking later, they saw smoke and nearing it, saw a man in black and white striped outfit, sitting around a bonfire, reading a map of some sort.

"It's him." Alex said to Nix.

Nix nodded her head and the two watched the guy for a while.

He simply read through the map, then got up and said, "I am well-versed about the upcoming raid, I should not find any trouble."

Taking a deep breath, the man checked the time and said, "they should be here any moment."

A few minutes later, a boat neared the shore.

On the boat's edge was a silhouette of a standing man, who's cape was fluttering with the wind.

As the boat touched the shore, thunder rumbled and the silhouette charged at the man in stripes.

"TRASH PANDAAAAAAA!"

Rumble!

The man yelled out and jumped on Flying Raccoon, starting to beat the crap out of him.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! It's a truce! It's a truce!" The guy yelled out.

"I'll never forgive you!" The man in cape said out loud.

More people jumped out of the boat and they seemed quite serious, unlike these two.

Those people were letting out a formidable aura and this was bad news for Alex and Nix.

"Should we cancel?" Alex whispered.

Nix shook her head. "They are nothing compared to the men who you were up against. I can take them all on myself."

"Nixie..." Alex realized he had to intervene this time. "Stop saying 'take them all on' please."

English wasn't Nixie's first language and neither was it second. It was actually the third. The second language she spoke was French due to her college and then job in Switzerland.

Nix nodded her head in attention. She didn't understand why her husband said this, but if he said to not say it, then she wouldn't.

The two focused their attention back on the guys at the beach.

"Are you prepared, tank?" A skinny tall man asked to Flying Raccoon.

"Yes. Let's get going." Flying Raccoon answered.

The guys didn't speak further and walked towards the sea.

They then began punching air in certain places and soon, a small dark purple portal opened up.

They walked in leisurely and once gone, Alex held Nixie's hand and hurried there.

Standing right before the portal, he looked at his wife and asked, "do you want to opt out, honey?"

He asked, just in case.

Nix smiled. "Sure. Go on your own."

"Oh, okay." Alex agreed and was about to go on his own, but got pulled back by Nix.

Nix rolled her eyes and said, "You don't understand jokes now?"

Alex shrugged. He just wanted his wife's opinion.

Nix shook her head and then went inside the portal with Alex. Maybe this moment was serious and he wasn't in the mood to joke? She thought.

*

[Ding!]

[You have entered an F class dungeon.]

[You aren't awakened...]

[Starting the awakening...]

Alex felt himself to be in a vast expanse of darkness and heard the voices in his head followed by them appearing in front of him on a blue screen.

It took a few minutes, but Alex then heard:

Alex was surprised when looking at such a thing. Previously, such things were not there in the system and now a change has appeared.

Apparently, he had got a class for himself and there were proper attributes available other than the confusing gene ones.

The darkness around Alex cleared up and he saw himself standing in a dimly lit area.

Looking around, Nix was staring at him.

"Your class?" Nix asked, before Alex could say anything.

"Healer."

Nix nodded her head. "You've said it to me, but don't say it to anybody else. You should keep the things in status to yourself."

Alex nodded in understanding and then asked, "Your class is?"

Nix shook her head. "I am not saying it."

"Sad." Alex said in a neutral tone. He wanted to know what his wife was good at.

Nix chuckled. "It's Strategist."

Alex raised an eyebrow in interest. "What did you do to become a Strategist? We aren't at war and I am sure you haven't fought in one either. How did you end up with that?"

Nix smiled and said, "I played too much chess in college and that's my hobby."

"Oh..." Alex was surprised. "Wasn't your hobby driving?"

Nix shook her head. "That's just something I like to do. Anyway, we should hurry otherwise we won't get any rewards."

Alex nodded and without further ado, the two went deeper into the dungeon.

This was an F class dungeon and the difficulty level to clear it was quite high for normal humans.

Alex too wasn't anyone extraordinary and his stats were high just because he cultivated a bit.

A G class dungeon would've been better since it had moderate difficulty, but nothing could be done now.

He charged ahead with his wife and the deeper they went, the more the overall quality of the dungeon worsened.

They could smell something nauseating and upon closer look around them, found many dead rodents.

This was expected. They were supposed to kill monsters here.

The dimness was disappearing after a while and they could see the area being lit up with torches at the walls.

The path then narrowed and a wooden arch appeared in front of them, after which was a worn out steel cart present on a rail track.

It appeared rusty and seemed like it could break any moment.

Getting close to it, there was a wooden sign that read:

Do you dare to take a ride?

"Ride?"

As soon as Alex said that, a sinister laughter echoed from the front and then a loud growl was heard from the behind.

Alex's expression turned grave and as he was about to turn to Nix, she simply held his hand and pulled him to the old cart.

"There's no going back now, husband. We have to get on this," she said and jumped into the cart.

"Hurry!"
