Chapter 26: Painful Choices
"Hehe, I hope they can bring that fourth-order wizard back, that would be interesting."
"A three-month-old fourth-order wizard... From antiquity to the present, I have not heard of anyone who has taken such a short time. ”
"How long is the fastest, oh, looking at the data, it took thirty years at the earliest."
"This is still a situation where I have cultivated since I was a child, with the best resources of all the resources, and I have the full strength of a senior magic master to cultivate."
"What's more, it's no longer the same as before, and many magic materials are no longer available."
Many knights were very interested in this topic, and they were interested in digging out relevant books from dilapidated warehouses and learning about the wizard's fastest breakthrough in historical records.
Information about the Genius of Magic.
……
Green was resting in his room at this time, unaware that his presence had caused quite a stir.
After feeling that his darkness was much deeper, he sighed helplessly, put down the food in his hand, broke away from the pleasure and lay on the bed and quietly closed his eyes, and in an instant his soul entered another world.
Inferno Tower, twelfth floor.
At the top of a huge ancient tree stands proudly in the sky, there is an open-top house made of various building materials, and the griffin family lives in it.
When the larger blue male griffin noticed the presence of a stranger in his territory, his eyes sharpened and he stood up.
A hint of worry flashed in the eyes of the red griffon crouching next to him, apparently sensing the strength of the man's aura under the tree.
Underneath her, an ignorant purple griffon spread its head, apparently not knowing what was going to happen.
"Stranger, please get out of here, I can pretend you didn't show up."
In the old days, this proud blue griffin would jump off a tree branch and swoop down to fight.
But...
It looked at the mother and son beside it and hesitated...
After receiving the mental fluctuations from the other party, Green was slightly stunned.
If it weren't for the familiarity, he might have mistakenly thought he was in the wrong place.
Green shook his head and didn't speak.
In order to receive a reward and progress to the next tier, you must defeat/kill the Guardians of this tier.
In addition, you can only try to recover the other party, but you can see that the other party has an unruly look, and you won't know the result if you don't fight.
Without hesitation, Green directly took out the magic card and summoned his partners to help in the battle.
The two griffons on the tree were slightly stunned when they saw the sudden dense group of demon pets next to the humans on the ground.
In particular, the blue griffin felt that none of the other party's vassals were weaker than him, how could this be?!
Green didn't hesitate, and directly operated the white sonic bird to attack the griffons.
Unlike the larger griffin, the sonic bird abandons its great strength, and in order to pursue speed, it is petite and streamlined, and becomes agile and flexible.
"If you want to live, you can only be convinced."
After the sonic bird dodged the opponent's pounce, he brought Green's words with him.
"Damn human, don't try to bring me to my knees."
How can a stranger be as proud as he is?
Impossible, unless killed in battle.
After seeing the griffin family choose to fight with him, Green sighed slightly.
"I don't want to, it's your own path."
Pointing to the griffons hanging overhead, the monsters beside him moved.
Various attribute attacks bombarded the trunk of the tree, shaking it continuously.
A hint of fear flashed in the purple griffon's small sparkling eyes, and she wanted to hide her head under her mother's body.
A hint of tenderness flashed in the red griffon's eyes, but he said ruthlessly to the purple griffin under him.
"Son, you are a rare king in the history of our griffin clan, you must not be broken here, I am going to help your father."
"If I die, don't think about revenge, surrender to that stranger, only then can I become strong and never be bullied by others again."
The red griffon's wings fluttered and rushed towards the blue griffin.
Leaving only the lonely purple griffon Shen alone in the lair.
After the red griffin joins the fight, the sonic bird gradually becomes a little overwhelmed.
Green frowned, and used his buoyancy skills on his pets.
And as their bodies floated into the sky, they quickly joined the battle.
The body was hit several times by the blue griffin with the "Wind Blow", and the somewhat embarrassed sonic bird staggered and almost fell.
looked at the partners in front of him, and managed not to faint.
After looking at the resolute opponent, the blue griffon's eyes showed a hint of despair.
Soon, the bitter battle ended.
Green didn't make a move this time, just stayed where he was.
If the other party chooses to attack him, the Seven Divine Flowers in his body will protect him as soon as possible, and the other party is doomed to fail from the beginning.
After settling the battle, two scarred and badly wounded griffons fell towards the lair they had built.
It's just that Green deliberately took care of it, don't kill it.
Because it's easy to hit a real fire when you move, it's a bit difficult to stop it in time, but fortunately, the other party isn't dead, and there's still a breath, isn't it?
"Mom."
"Daddy."
The purple griffon came up to their parents and pecked at their bodies with their short beaks.
"Don't worry, son, we'll always be there for you."
The red griffon said weakly, and slowly closed her golden eyes in front of Shen with a worried face.
Seriously injured, she knew it was the only thing she could do for her son.
The skill "Will Inheritance" transforms one's own flesh consciousness into potential, and partially transfers it to those of the same bloodline.
The red griffon, which had lost its breath, disappeared little by little, and finally turned into a silvery-white light in front of the grieving Shen.
"I'll always be there for you, always there, son."
The light turned into her gentle face, and she was a little relieved to see her son even though he was still worried.
As soon as the light entered the purple griffin's body, he immediately felt something more in his body.
Shen's body began to grow slowly, and his body grew from a small point to a teenager.
Although he still looks weak, he has a little bit of strength to protect himself.
The blue griffon's gaze at it was a little complicated, it sighed and did not speak, and looked at the Milky Way in the sky as if reminiscing about the past.
Its gaze became gentle...
Disappearing from Shen's vision little by little, he also chose to integrate into his son's body.
The pride in his bones will never allow him to bow to others.
Shen was crying, but his body was getting bigger and bigger, and he came to his youth.
Unlike his parents, Shen is exposed in a half-human form.
Well-defined lines and bulging muscles with explosive power.
Just from the appearance, you can see that it is very different from its own parents.
"So, are you going to avenge them?"
Grimm, who was standing below, came up to him floating in front of him, looked at it absently and asked.
"I, the griffin king, am cautious, choose... Submit to. ”
Dressed in purple feathers, it lowered its head and half-knelt in front of Grimm.
The muscles all over the body are loose, and there is no intention of resisting.
"It's good, it's a little more current than your parents, although it may be a little troublesome to solve you, but it's not a big problem, of course, it's best to save trouble."
The moment he chose to surrender, three silver-white treasure chests immediately appeared in the darkness.
The sudden change caused its pale golden pupils to shrink, and for the first time, it questioned the environment in which it grew up.
"Where is this?"
"Since birth, his parents have comforted him that this is a very remote place that will not be disturbed, but it seems to be more like a cage for himself."
Grimm was in no mood to heed his thoughts, and went to the first silver chest to open it.
Lying quietly inside are the magic card 3 puppeteers, mortgage cards, and fraud cards.
Green was not surprised by the contents of the box, because he had already figured out the pattern, once the items in the first box were selected, the items that appeared in the second box this time would appear in the first box next time.
But if you don't, you may never show up again, or you may have to wait a long time to collect it again.
There was no rush to pick it up, and he looked at the contents of the second silver chest as usual.
Magic Card 2 High Altitude Biting Shark, Flight/Water System, Summon Maintenance requires 3 Strength, 2 Spirit, and 1 Speed.
Skill Enhancement Card: After use, choose a skill to increase your power, depending on the type of choice (the energy system is increased by two stages, and the special system is increased by one order).
As for the special department, it is not introduced later.
Armor Driver X: The target can be multi-dimensional transformed with a magic card ace when worn.
"Magic Card Ace..."
"Transfiguration?"
Green chewed on the news, first of all, he hadn't collected the ace card yet, and he didn't understand what the other party meant by what the goal was.
"It's the carrier."
At this moment, Zero, who had not reacted in his mind for a long time, popped up, and said lightly after projecting his figure.
"Carrier?" Green's eyebrows furrowed slightly, still not understanding.
"The so-called carrier is the basis of material existence, just like people can't do without bones and flesh, otherwise only the soul consciousness will soon collapse in the endless void."
Zero glanced at Green beside him, and saw that he continued to explain patiently after listening carefully.
"And the carrier here should refer to the living form that can carry the change of matter, of course, the magic card ace is the basis for completing the change, something similar to a key."
"Lifeforms?"
Green mused.
Seeing that he was a little biased, Zero couldn't help but scold.
"You idiot, you can't use your body as a vehicle to transform, aren't there still a lot of weird pictures underground?"
"Materialize them with a containment card, and then transform with it."
As for replacing it with another lifeform, neither of them thought about it, because if the load value did not reach the armor drive X, it would collapse, and the transformation would be lifted immediately.
Green's eyes lit up slightly, and he became interested.
Turning to the third silver box.
Inside was an ugly monster with a hideous face and eight pairs of sharp horns on top of its head.
Lucifer's Head (Clone): Although it is not as good as the real Demon King, it has some of the power of the other party after copying, of course, only a small part, so don't expect too much.
After a few glances, Green lost much interest.
This ugly thing made Green unappetizing, but he didn't know that it was a rare and precious material in the eyes of those dark wizards.
With the card securely placed on his body, he left the Inferno Tower and descended the stairs to the dark basement.
