In the webnovel, Seven Sceptre, Dila were considered the best mount for a player and adventurer NPCs in the elf realm.
But why?
The answer was simple—they were fast, they were strong. They would fight alongside the player, NPC if needed.
They were strong. Their sharp claws were sharp enough to cut through a thick trunk of a tree.
But there was one thing about them which put them at a disadvantage. Their sensing power was too weak to sense any one further then 50 meter whereas other mounts could sense even further but their other aspects were not as good as Dila.
But all of this was not even their trump card.
Their trump card was their scream which would put the enemy in helplessness.
But what kinda helplessness?
It will do two things—first, it will debuff the enemy. Their vision, instincts and hearing power would be halved for a minute. Second, it will call other Dila in the range of 100 meters for help.
But Dila often use this power when they were either fighting alone or for their companion—only if they trusted them fully.
But at my case, I wasn't sure if my Dila had full trust on me or not.
My instincts panicked and so did my reaction. Right infront of my eyes was my death—5 of the Mini Elves Eating Plan with 3 of them on the move to bite my head off.
And my reactions were slow for me to even think of moving away from their.
My mind was filled with many thoughts which would not prioritize the thought of escaping this situation.
My eyes were widen enough for my vision to get a bit blurry, my mind knew that my death was infront of me but still it would not make my body move.
The mouth of those 3 plants was about 15 cm away from me.
There was it, my death.
But at that moment all 3 of them got beheaded and my body moved.
I dashed back out of that situation.
While breathing heavily, I looked towards the remaining 2 plants. The other three's corpse was laying on the ground.
They didn't even know what killed them, neither me.
My breathing was very heavy.
I looked in my right where their killer was standing—my Dila.
It had moved with it's highest speed to save me.
Was it's trust on me that high?
I don't know the reason, but the only think I know is that my Dila saved me.
Dila turned towards me and gave a cry as if asking me the reason for going in the battle alone.
But then my instincts sensed it, two acid showers coming towards me.
I jumped in my left—dashed ahead and with a single swing beheaded the remaining two.

The Dila came towards me and moved it's head rubbing my forehead.
I patted it's head and with our foreheads touching each other's, I said to it, "Thank you for saving my life. If you wouldn't have come, I would have probably died. "
It gave a cry again.
Then I looked towards the other Mini Elves Eating Plants and then towards the Dila, smiled and said, "So, are you ready for the massacre? "
Dila gave a loud cry and got ready.
I jumped on it's back and with a shout, "LET'S GO!! ", it ran towards the other Mini Elves Eating Plants.

"Finally I leveled up to level 10. Now I can purchase some water and food for myself and Dila. "
I commanded Dila to move to that tree again so that we can drink and eat peacefully.
***
Dila sat under the tree while I purchased some food and water for myself and Dila.
There was a bottle and a wooden bucket of water I purchased along with some meat for both of us.
I gave the bucket of water and some meat to Dila while kept the bottle of water and some meat for myself.
***
We both were being very lazy sitting under the tree.
The cooked meat was really really delicious.
But then, I remembered something.
"Open Relic wallet. "
[You have 801 Relic Fragments]
The Relic Fragments were azure colored orbs which can be used to spin the Gacha.
To spin in a normal Gacha you would need around 500 Relic Fragments but for specialized, their prizes differed.
"Open Wukong Gacha. "
It was the Gacha I always wanted to spin from the moment I came in the game. With Wukong being one of my most favorite summon.
"Now, let's just hope it gives me him—Sun Wukong. "
With a gulp, and a big inhale and exhale, I was ready to spin it.
"Spin the Sun Wukong's Gacha. "

4-5 seconds passed and there was it, the entity I recieved.
