The griffin tilted its head, as if in amusement, and sneered.

Chapter 41: A Reversal

*创世纪6185年8月17日上午11:13分 巴里斯海岸森林

My heart, which was hanging in the air, instantly fell to the freezing point.

Kmir sensed a playful emotion in the griffin's tone—a look as if he was looking at a toy that could be broken at any moment.

Being toyed with by a demon beast was something a warrior could never allow. But even if anger filled his heart, what could he do? In his current state, he had no way of fighting the griffin. Moreover, even if he were in his prime, he would probably be killed instantly.

Take a deep breath and calm yourself down. The griffin doesn't look like it's going to attack yet, so there should still be room for negotiation.

"Then what do you want to do, sir?"

"Well... you're the lord of Ryan City outside the forest, right?"

"Yes."

Although I don’t know how the Griffin knew it, the speed of the answer is obviously more important than thinking about the source of the information.

"I want you to build a temple for me in the forest. It must be larger than the city of Ryan. If you agree, I will let you go. Of course, if you change your mind, I will lead the monsters to attack your human town. By the way, I have reached what you humans call level 35."

The griffin spread its wings as wide as possible, and the strong wind almost blew Kmir away.

He was shocked by the griffin's claim of a level of 35; even the strongest warrior in the Kingdom of Barris was no better. He knew there was no way his group could defeat the griffin right now, so should he agree? If he did, it would be like humanity bowing to the monsters, and his dignity as a higher being prevented him from doing so. If he reneged on his promise, it would lead to a war between the kingdom and the monsters. While the continent hadn't seen a war so far thanks to the mediation of the Sacred Academy, no one could predict whether such a war would occur in the future. Furthermore, if he started the war, he would bear the label of a sinner of humanity, a weight far heavier than his life and dignity.

The griffin raised its head and looked down at Kmir from above.

"So how do you choose?"

Kmir swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva and gripped the curled sword tightly.

"So that's how it is. Then, let's fight!"

Now is the best chance. The griffin is standing in front of him defenselessly. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he will never meet it again in the future. This is the first chance and also the last chance.

“Huh—ding—”

The sounds of breaking air and metal rang out one after another. Kmir looked at the broken sword in his hand in disbelief. The griffin had just dodged to the side at a speed that his naked eyes could not see clearly. The sword in his hand chopped off the boulder where the griffin had been standing before, causing the already badly worn sword to break into two pieces.

"You humans just love sneak attacks like this, but it's completely useless against me."

The griffin flapped its wings, and the wind it created blew Kmir away like a physical object, into a pile of soldiers who were unable to move due to exhaustion.

"But I admire your courage, so I will use my greatest magic to put an end to you!"

The griffin's tone became high-pitched, chanting a spell that Kmir had never heard of before, but judging from the magical fluctuations around it, this must be a wide-area attack magic, and his group would definitely not be able to escape this massacre.

No one had the strength to escape and could only watch the griffin cast its magic.

Kmir moved the "Magic Surge" pressed under the root of his tongue into his mouth, preparing for a final fight.

"That's it!"

An old voice echoed, and a portal emitting a deep blue light opened in the air. Then, a short old man in a white magic robe emerged from the portal, holding up an ornate magic wand.

"'The Tenth Guardian of the Long Past'."

"Buzz——"

Following a rapid humming sound, ten layers of transparent light shields that distorted the light unfolded one after another, and then the griffin's chanting also ended.

A ten-meter-long green arrow came whistling with a huge air wave. The air pressure it created created a deep groove on the ground. The green arrow quickly enlarged and slammed into the light shield in front of the old man.

"Danger!"

The shout from Kmir did not change the arrow's trajectory.

"laugh--"

Like the sound of ice melting in a hot pot.

The green arrow seemed to be swallowed up and disappeared directly on the other side of the shield wall. It did not have the momentum as before. Only the grooves left on the ground could prove that this magic had ever existed.

Kmir opened his mouth wide, speechless. This matter was beyond his comprehension. The magic cast by the griffin was at least a third-level offensive magic, but it disappeared without even breaking the layer of light shield created by the old man.

Seeing the griffin's magic disappear, Ella breathed a sigh of relief. She had been waiting for the opportunity to appear for half a day, and now it was finally her chance. Before, when the soldiers were fighting the wolves, she couldn't help but want to rush out to stop them, but the griffin kept pulling her back, so she had to wait until now to appear.

Judging from the collision of magic, the magic I prepared has achieved the effect of proving my strength, right?

"Who are you? You can block my most powerful attack with just a light shield?"

The griffin's face was alert as it roared at him - it seemed the script was proceeding normally.

"I am the only God."

Recalling the tone that I had practiced many times before, I stated my identity without emotion.

"Hehe, do you think I will believe it?"

"You may try, but you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

A thin layer of mist rose from behind the griffin, gradually condensing into a solid object that covered its fur. Then it rushed up like a compressed spring, rushing forward with an unstoppable momentum.

This... this is so realistic... Next, after restraining the griffin, should I knock it down? Hmm—capture spells are fine, but knockdown spells are offensive, right? It would be terrible if I couldn't use them. It would be better to choose a spell that looks powerful but only has a knockback effect, right?

After organizing my thoughts, the next scene on the stage began.

"Chain of Judgment."

Countless pitch-black chains flew out from the void, locking the griffin inside like an airtight cage.

"boom--"

The black cage, having lost its power, fell straight to the ground, creating a huge crater. The sound of the griffin struggling in the cage could be heard.

—Ah! This is so embarrassing! Why did I use this magic unconsciously? I should have used something more powerful, why did I use this? What should I do? This kind of common magic... I will definitely be laughed at for the rest of my life! I can't pretend to be the only god anymore... What should I do next?

Ella regretted the habits she had developed in "F.Wing".

Chain of Judgment—this is the most commonly used restricted skill in F.Wing. Although it's often ridiculed by players for being easily broken, it's actually the fastest and most effective skill to use. Ella herself has become accustomed to using this skill because of its practicality.

So now she was in an embarrassing predicament, staring blankly at the griffin struggling in the cage, Ella immersed in confused thoughts.

"This is—it's actually the 'Chain of Judgment'! This is the super-level magic used by the legendary One and Only God! Is he really the One and Only God?"

Jayne struggled to straighten his body and looked at Ella floating in the air, his shock beyond words. His look made people think that if Jayne still had the strength, he would definitely kneel down.

I was brought back to reality by Jayne's shout.

Huh? Is "Chain of Judgment" actually a powerful spell? Or even a super-level spell? It seems fine... I want to complain, but let's deal with the matter at hand first.

He cleared his throat to cover up his gaffe.

"Since you have chosen to attack me, I can only fight back, 'Call of Death'."

He chose the most flashy and least commonly used skill in F.Wing. He deliberately called out the name of the spell loudly to highlight its power.

The earth began to shake, and then the ground where the cage was located cracked. A deep red sharp claw tightly grasped the iron ball, making a crackling sound, and then drilled into the ground with the iron ball, and the crack slowly closed.

As if nothing had ever happened.

It seems... a bit too much? But with the "Chain of Judgment" as an outer layer of protection, it shouldn't be a big problem... Looking at the closing crack, Ella prayed anxiously in her heart.

After repelling the griffin, he turned his attention to Kmir and Jayne, and nodded to Lotte who had remained motionless.

『Elementary Healing Technique』

An extremely dazzling light shot up into the sky, and the golden light particles gradually gathered under the sun to form a huge winged angel - just like the healing magic that was first released when I first came to this world.

A miracle happened.

Today's content is extra... Many readers have given me feedback today, and I feel really embarrassed, so I added this chapter. Here, I would like to thank all the readers for their encouragement.

Chapter 42 The Curtain Draws Down

*创世纪6185年8月17日上午12:47分 巴里斯海岸森林

The statue of the angel with its golden wings spread out lasted for a quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating.

With her previous experience in mind, Ella deliberately directed the angel's feathers, which carried evolutionary abilities, in front of her. This would both heal and deter Kmir's group while minimizing the impact on the forest. If the monsters in the forest continued to evolve like this, who knew what would emerge and cause trouble.

Ella turned around and stopped looking at Jayne, Kmir, and the others who had fallen to the ground and were staring at her in a daze. Seeing a group of men with such expressions, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I already know why you came to the forest this time. There's no need to investigate further. I created this in this forest."

"Um... the One and Only God?"

Jayne struggled to recover from his fall and looked up at Ella with almost worshipful eyes.

Noticing the intense gaze behind him, he tried his best to resist the polite gesture of turning back and replied calmly.

"What's up?"

"Yes... it's really the One and Only God. Hahahaha, I actually saw the One and Only God. There's no mistake, absolutely no mistake. That kind of magic—mmmm."

The sound suddenly stopped, as if it was muffled by something.

Driven by curiosity, Ella could no longer maintain her demeanor as a god and finally couldn't help but look back.

"Um?"

What appeared before his eyes was the image of Kmir hugging Jayne from behind and covering the struggling Jayne's mouth with his hands.

"Lord Unique God... This guy's head is a little off today. Please forgive his unreasonable behavior. I will ensure that he won't make such a mistake again."

"..."

I didn't know what to say in this situation, and the situation felt a bit awkward.

Seeing that the Lord God didn't say anything, Kmir didn't dare to speak anymore. The already quiet forest became even quieter...

—What should I do? What should I say at this moment? The script says I'm supposed to warn Komir not to investigate the forest anymore, right? How should I start? If it were Loli God, I'd probably put my hands on my hips and say something like, "You guys, don't ever come to the forest again." But I look like an old man now, and if I put my hands on my hips and act cute—it feels a bit scary...

"Knock, knock."

The sound of armor colliding was heard. Thanks to the previous healing magic, the soldiers had recovered their strength. Instead of standing up directly, they crawled on the ground and rubbed their bodies to crawl in front of Ella.

He raised his upper body, maintained a kneeling posture, put his hands together, and looked at himself with the eyes of a believer he had seen before.

"God, God, thank you, thank you for saving me. From now on, I will join the church and join the ranks of those who believe in you."

Then, the rest of the soldiers, as if awakened from a dream, all gathered in front of him and knelt down.

Not knowing what to do next, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Lotte on the other side.

As if she knew what Ella meant, Luty walked up to Ella and knelt on the ground like a soldier with a frightened expression.

"Sama Souichi-sama, please, where is my master now?"

"You're talking about a little girl in a white swordsman's uniform, right? If so, she should be resting in the bushes over there right now."

"Thank you, One and Only God!"

Ruthie bowed with gratitude, as if she had really been reborn.

With Lotte's beginning, Kmir also tried to communicate with Ella.

"Your Excellency, Lord Oneness... I have something to ask you."

"explain."

"Excuse me, but are there any other griffins of my kind in the forest? I'm afraid I'll face retaliation from this griffin's companions when I return."

"I will naturally make arrangements for this, provided you never lead soldiers into the forest again like this."

"Okay, okay—I have one more thing to say."

Why is Kemir talking so much today? He seemed like a villain before, but he turned out to be such a righteous person. It's true that appearances don't always tell the whole story. I secretly apologized for my previous discrimination against Kemir.

He adjusted his mindset and nodded slightly to signal Kemir to continue.

"Because the God's previous arrival caused a miracle, I have already reported this to the King of the Capital. The King will definitely send an investigation team in a few days, so I will definitely visit the forest again then..."

"Hmph, give this to the investigation team. This is a crystal that can record scenes. I anticipated this situation, so I've recorded the images and words from the moment I appeared until now. This will naturally convince the investigation team. If they insist on entering the forest, they can expect the wrath of their fellow griffins."
