"Fuc* What the hell is with its size"

Shiva said seeing that the Griffin was too large for it to be a Griffin....well it was actually slightly bigger than even the Death Dragon, Ugram.

Even if we consider that Ugram died pretty early, not even a wyvern would be as big as an adolescent dragon but to think there was a Griffin bigger than a Dragon.

It sure was a surprising thing! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

but that was it!

Shiva smiled seeing the griffin!

"It would add another strong soldier to my army"

He was already thinking about summoning it after killing it...

Besides being bigger doesn’t mean it had to be stronger if anything it may be overweight by eating so much? just maybe...

Anyway, there was no way Shiva was going to back down when he was this close to the dungeon.

’Where was the dungeon again?’

Screech!

’Well, let’s think about it afterward!!’

He brushed off the fact that he couldn’t see the dungeon that he was searching anywhere and engaged in a fight with the griffin...well to be precise he made his summons engage in the fight

"Ugram, Take the lead"

The bone skeleton which heard him opened his mouth delivering ’Dragon beam’ which was actually a smaller version of Dragon breath.

He also summoned his first servant Kapali.

"Kapali"

Kapali appeared with two swords held in a cross manner and stood firmly in front of him like a knight that was determined to protect his lord.

Kapali always prioritized Shiva’s safety more than anything.

He didn’t care less if they lost the battle but getting Shiva out of there alive was what mattered to him the most.

So he always stood beside Shiva no matter the situation.

"Virupa, Distract him"

He ordered Virupa to distract him so that Ugram could deal some damage.

Being in form of Garuda who was more agile than the Griffin Virupa made sure to annoy the bird to death.

"Bhima"

He also summoned the calf but didn’t bother to Order him anything since he knew better than anyone that this dumb calf is going to mess up everything no matter what he told him to do.

Karna was also supporting the battel from the shadows but he still stayed in Shiva’s Shadow not taking any risk that could possibly threaten Shiva’s life.

Rather, Shiva, himself was actively participating in the battle taking out his chained Scythes.

He was quite aware of his weakness in battel due to all the things that were happening recently and he felt the need to improve, since his pride was too large for him to ask anyone to teach him anything, he was observing the battlefield analyzing everything that he could grasp, Kapil’s techniques, Virupa’s agility, Ugram’s power he was learning various things from the battel to improve himself.

"Heavenly demon swordsmanship-"

Kapali also seemed to notice that as he tried to fire him up some more by letting him witness his techniques.

"modified form, Double thrust"

It seemed like he wasn’t ideal in the passing time either as he had somewhat managed to modify the skill. Instead of concentrating the power at a single point, he made it divide and further increased the combined force by a bit too.

He aimed at the legs that looked like a lion’s legs and thrust both his swords at the same time.

His swords pierced through the leg of the griffin making two small holes in its huge leg.

The griffin let out a loud screech in pain.

Screech!

Ugram who noticed that it was distracted used <Butcher claws> at its neck taking a chunk of its meat away.

Virupa who was in the form of garuda didn’t let that chance slide as he made a huge spear from the blood that was coming out from the wound using blood magic of his Vampire origin and lobed it into the same wound with more force.

Screechhhhhh!

The screech of the griffin got louder as it withered from pain and tried to fly away but they were not going to let it escape now, do they?

One of its wings was caught by the skeleton hands that rose from the ground which was cast by Shiva using <Ghostly embrace>

And another wing was cut off by the Karna who suddenly appeared above it using <Shadow Teleport> and used the skills <Striking Shadow> and < Shadow blade> at the same time.

scre...ch!

The Griffin fell to the ground not being able to fly.

But the fight was not over yet!!

Bhima who was in the form of a minotaur jumped up and struck at the blood spear that was inserted into its neck by Virupa.

Which made the Spear come out of another end taking the life of the Griffin.

<You have defeated the ’Ruler of the Sky’, Griffin lv.213>

"Huf..huf.."

Even though he was the most insignificant member of the team Shiva still huffed and puffed, seeing the body of the griffin on the ground,

<You have acquired the title ’One who slew the Ruler of Sky’>

Ding!

<You have leveled up>

Shiva got near the griffin smilingly.

It was time to reap the rewards...

He looked at the griffin as he stretched his hand forward.

<Soul devour>

A white light embraced the griffin a whole and disappeared after a minute.

<You have acquired the soul of ’Ruler of the Sky’, Griffin>

He smiled with contentment and once again used another one of his skills.

<Skeleton Summon>

This time it was a black mist that covered its dead body.

Its skin slowly started to peel off as the bones were becoming visible.

Within a minute what was left of it was an all-bones and a black web-like thing on its wings that ensured its flying ability.

<You have summoned lv.213 undead griffin>

<Due to the being, having the title of a Ruler, The undead is evolving>

The black mist surrounded the already white-boned Griffin once again.

This time it took more than five minutes for the mist to disperse.

<Your undead griffin lv.213 has evolved into Ruler griffin lv.154>

The body of the griffin was revealed as the mist resided.

It was much smaller than the original one to be precise it became as small as a quarter of the size of Ugram.

And this time there were not only bones that were present on it there was also a weird black mist covering its body.

Its eyes were glowing with blue glint!

Shiva smiled seeing that as he once again got a summon that would be at least as strong as Nicholas.

Even though its level and size had decreased the pressure it gave off only increased much more, if it was like a wandering bird before, now it felt like the ruler of the jungle.

Shiva smiled seeing its status and sat on a nearby stone.

In this fight, he had managed to obtain a strong summon, a Title, and a soul whose use he didn’t know of.

The title which he got in specific, even though it would be useless against dragons, was pretty useful.

A 10% increase in damage wasn’t anything small either!

Besides there were many flying monsters other than dragons that he would have to eventually face so it wasn’t all that bad.

Shiva looked at the two eggs that were still present at the nest.

"Shall I make an omelet using them?"

He thought!

If any of the beast tamers heard him, they would strangle him to death even if it took them all their life.

There were many rich people in the Tower who would do anything to get a pet like that and here he was thinking about making an omelet out of it.

Old Sage: {It would be wise of you to rise them rather than that}

The Sage interfered fearing that he would actually do it considering how crazy he was.

"That’s right too, I can rise them till they become big enough like their mother and later kill them and make them summons too...You too sometimes think like a sage Oldman" He said while holding his chin as if he was thinking deeply.

Old Sage: {That’s not what I meant though...;;}
