Chapter 528 The Last Moment <TOC> Chapter 530 The Griffin of Fury
Translator: SumTLMan
The sudden appearance of this colossal creature immediately drew the attention of almost everyone present.
It was a peculiar-looking monster with huge reddish-brown wings, which when fully spread, would span at least ten meters. Its head resembled that of a hawk, with gray feathers, crimson eyes, and a sharp, slightly curved red beak.
However, only the head was hawk-like, as its body was akin to a lion or tiger. Around its neck was a mane with a gradient color that transitioned from gray to reddish-brown, and then to a full reddish-brown body.
With a hawk’s head, wings, lion’s claws, and body, and a tail that appeared to be aflame, this monster was formed.
It spread its wings and swiftly spun in midair.
Although its body was much smaller than Jiebo’s unicorn abyssal whale, everyone could clearly see that when this monster flew past the unicorn abyssal whale, the whale had no reaction whatsoever!
This monster’s power must be on par with the unicorn abyssal whale, otherwise, the whale wouldn’t have remained indifferent.
As people speculated about the origin of this monster, someone noticed the figures on its back.
“They made it at the last moment, what good luck,” someone sighed: “Does anyone know who they are?”
Due to their high altitude and backlighting, no one could clearly see their faces at first. But someone enviously and jealously said: “Whoever they are, daring to show off so blatantly in the sky, someone will surely put them in their place.”
As soon as this person finished speaking, the hawk-headed, lion-bodied monster circled and slowly approached Sunisha and Carvelyn.
Sunisha and Carvelyn, these two women, were unknown before today. However, they had staked their claim in the sky, proving their strength, even acknowledged by Jiebo. This demonstrated how formidable they were, but now with the monster approaching them, there would be quite a spectacle!
As people on the ground eagerly watched, Sunisha and Carvelyn surprisingly stepped back, making way for the monster.
“I didn’t expect you to arrive at the last moment, congratulations,” Carvelyn said indifferently.
Sunisha leaned against Carvelyn’s shoulder, her face bearing a faint smile. She finally set her gaze on the man seated at the base of the monster’s neck, her eyes sparkling with intrigue.
Sunisha and Carvelyn’s retreat was unexpected by everyone present.
Who was sitting on that monster? They must have quite the influence.
At this moment, the monster flew to where Hermes was, and Hermes also stepped back. Moreover, he not only retreated but also nodded in greeting, obviously knowing the person on the monster.
Who were these people? This was the question on everyone’s mind.
Hermes and Sunisha both stepped back, letting the monster fly towards the center. As it passed by the woman who could make flowers bloom under her feet, she pondered for a moment, neither deliberately stepping back nor initiating an attack. Since both Hermes and Sunisha had acknowledged their status, she didn’t need to cause trouble and generously let the monster leave.
However, her choice to let it pass didn’t mean others would do the same.
As the monster approached the silver area in the sky, a tall, handsome man dressed in a silver-white uniform blocked their path.
“Jiebo didn’t make a move, and the others chose to avoid it. I didn’t expect the host Dela to choose to block the way, it’s interesting.” The apprentices below discussed.
The person on the monster didn’t expect anyone to stop them and was puzzled when Dela’s expression turned cold, with a hint of mockery in his eyes:
“An apprentice who has no strength and relies on luck to make it to the end should just wait obediently on the ground for the miracle to come.” As he spoke, Dela suddenly reached out, and a phantom of a giant hand appeared in the sky.
“A magic hand? No, it’s a frost hand condensed with freezing breath!”
The frost hand fell towards the monster, and the person on the monster finally realized that Dela was attacking them. However, they didn’t seem to have any fear and remained motionless on the monster’s back.
As the frost hand approached the monster, it suddenly roared, a lion’s paw swung, wrapped in a gray aura, not only shattering the frost hand but also sending Dela flying with a slap.
Dela finally stabilized his body, preventing himself from falling to the ground, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.
“How bold!” A pale liquid appeared in Dela’s palm: “Permafrost Liquid, create a kingdom of eternal ice!”
Dela flicked his wrist, and the white liquid splashed towards the monster.
“Water.” A plain, unremarkable voice came.
The Permafrost Liquid flashed, and the pale liquid suddenly turned transparent. Dela’s imagined kingdom of eternal ice did not appear, and the transparent liquid fell to the ground.
Many people on the ground were frightened, thinking it was the “Permafrost Liquid” and causing a commotion as the liquid fell.
In the commotion, a woman failed to dodge and was drenched in the face. She shivered in fear, but after a while, she found that there was nothing wrong with her.
Curiously, she reached out and touched the liquid on her face, finding no abnormalities; smelled it, no strange smell; gathered her courage and licked it…
“It’s a bit sweet.”
As everyone present was paying attention to the situation, the woman’s words “a bit sweet” spread almost instantly.
Dela, who was in midair, was dumbfounded.
What do you mean a bit sweet? This isn’t a mountain spring, how could it be sweet! This is the extremely cold Permafrost Liquid, a unique medium for his special spell ‘Frozen Kingdom’!
“It’s like water, quite good-tasting spring water.” While Dela was stunned, the woman added another comment.
Dela was so furious that he almost vomited blood. Trembling, he pointed at the people on the monster but couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Seeing Dela not making another move, the monster continued to sway and fly forward.
Due to Dela’s failure, no other apprentice who occupied the airspace dared to step forward. The monster successfully flew to the golden area above.
Finally facing the last person: Jiebo!
All the apprentices thought Jiebo would be furious, then summon endless waves to drown and devour the annoying monster. However, Jiebo did not move for a long time, appearing calm. Only Fisch, who was standing behind Jiebo, clearly saw Jiebo’s trembling calf.
The anticipated battle did not happen. Instead, everyone heard a clear male voice: “Hey, make way.”
The male voice came from the back of the monster, and it was undoubtedly directed at Jiebo!
“What a gutsy move, daring to talk to Jiebo like that. Who does he think he is?” Farja, who was standing next to Loki, said disdainfully, as if he had completely forgotten that not long ago, he was knocked to the ground by Jiebo’s whale.
Loki glanced at him and said nothing.
Alan, on the other hand, sarcastically said: “Jiebo might not win. Didn’t you see how Dela was defeated with a single blow?”
Farja snorted: “How could Jiebo lose? He’s the Son of the Sea, the most valued apprentice of the Sea God!”
“Aren’t you from Silent Hill, and your family is from the Talos Clan? Why do you sound like you’re a member of the Song of the Deep Sea?” Alan sneered, looking at Farja up and down with a strange gaze: “Could it be that you have fish scale tattoos on the unspeakable parts of your body?”
Farja was furious, his eyes bloodshot. This chubby guy was just a first-level apprentice, and he dared to mock him?! Looking for death!
Farja summoned a blood bat to teach Alan a lesson, but Loki stepped in to mediate: “Ah, let it go, Jiebo probably won’t lose. At most, it will be a draw.”
“Who knows.” Alan replied indifferently, looking at the shadow in the sky that was not very clear due to the backlight: This voice sounds so familiar, is it you?
Because of the phrase “excuse me,” all the apprentices present were stunned, and for a moment, there was no one talking in the altar square. The place was silent, as if they were all waiting for Jiebo’s response.
Time passed, bit by bit.
Ten seconds later, Jiebo clenched his fists and glanced at Hilary, who stared at him with a sinister smile.
Reluctantly, he stepped back, distancing himself from the crowd.
Jiebo’s retreat caused a stir again. Who was the other party? Why could they make Jiebo fear them?
As people were surprised, another scene unfolded in the valley.
When the beast, neither eagle nor lion, broke into the Land of Demise Altar, many wizards present raised their eyebrows. Not to mention the apprentices, many of them had never seen such a creature before.
So, in the end, the vast majority of the wizards’ gazes fell on Muse.
“Mediocre” Muse had an unremarkable title, but he was not mediocre at all. Even the top-tier wizards of Canter would treat Muse with respect and fear.
The research institute established by Muse had almost changed the grand pattern of the wizarding world. His academic prowess was undoubtedly the strongest among all present, so when everyone had doubts, they turned to him.
Muse casually said: “I once obtained an illustrated book from the Source World that included a category of magical beasts called griffins, with an eagle head and lion body. There are dark griffins shrouded in mist, and ice griffins that can freeze everything. This one seems to be a fire-controlling Flame Griffin.”
Muse spoke lightly, but he whispered to Rosen: “Griffins have never appeared on the mainland. Could this griffin have come from the Source World?”
Rosen shook his head: “The teleportation array of the Source World has been destroyed long ago, so it shouldn’t be possible, right?”
“I heard that Isabelle returned to the Southern Region, maybe it’s her…” Muse didn’t say anything further, and the two only needed to understand each other.
At this time, Rosen turned his gaze to the person on the griffin.
The first person he saw was Angel, sitting on the griffin’s neck.
Rosen smiled faintly, not expecting him to catch up. He wondered how Angel had broken through the wizard-level illusion and how the griffin had appeared.
Unfortunately, he had only been paying attention to the situation of the altar just now and had not noticed any changes around Angel.
In such a situation, he could still escape successfully and finally bring everyone to the Land of Demise Altar. With such an achievement, Rosen couldn’t help but sigh: “A little fellow who creates miracles.”
