I.. Am God?-Chapter 71 Spirit Realm
There were also beasts that had nothing enveloping it, just its pure form. They were the free beasts, beasts that didn't join any Spirit Faction. They were either strong on their own, part of a big Beast Clan that is already strong enough to defend itself, or a weak beast who didn't have any qualifications to join a faction.
This was what Matthias wanted. For factions to rise between beast tamers. He created a war between Spirit Factions to contend for worlds.
Newly awakened beast tamers can only tame the unaffiliated mutated beasts if they go on the normal route, but if they chose to join a faction, they will have the chance to contract stronger beasts on the condition that they join that faction.
The two factions' goal is simple; to destroy the other faction.
The Sylphine Kingdom sought to protect the rights of beasts and spirits with its free will and to strengthen Beast Tamers using purification, which is slow.
The Xyton Empire on the other hand, goes on a more vicious route, wanting only to conquer and become stronger by putting curses to strengthen beasts but making them loyal to the Empire. The Beast Tamers that chose to join them will be strengthened significantly but their attitude will slowly be corrupted by the thirst for battle and conquering, making them barbaric.
Starting off, he of course chose to join The Light Faction. Because the Spirit Realm has its own rules, even if he's the god who created them, he needs to abide by the rules. He wouldn't be able to lord over the Light Faction just because he's a god. He needs to rise up the ranks.
So, knowing what to do, he first needed to do something to be accepted by the Sylphine Kingdom.
He first tamed a Low-Class mixed Griffin Beast. Mixed Griffin Beasts are beasts that depend on their other bloodline for their strength in the Spirit Realm. A Low-Class mixed Griffin Beast is a bottom-tier beast.
He sent his mental energy to the griffin's forehead, slowly enveloping it and establishing a connection. He then cut his finger, letting blood flow out. As a sign of accepting him, the griffin went near him and lowered its head, wanting him to drop the blood on its forehead. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
Matthias did so, and the blood was miraculously absorbed. He instantly felt a close connection between the two of them.
He ventured the land and fought beasts with it and fed it herbs to strengthen it. Days later, his griffin that he named Typhoon reached Peak-low rank Mixed Griffin Beast.
He then purified the bloodline of the Griffin. There is a reason why he chose Typhoon as his pet; it's a descendant of one of the 10 dragons, The Lustful Wang.
Although Wang is lustful, he is still a pure dragon and has a strength just below seven of the dragons.
By using a herb called Dragon Blood Grass and his power, he purified Typhoon's bloodline, creating a Draconic Griffin, an advanced beast.
Advanced Beasts are evolved beasts that turned stronger and more compatible with the tamer.
The Griffin changed a lot. Typhoon's feathers turned into long dragon scales, its talons became like that of western dragons, and its size doubled that of Matthias'.
It's crown rose and became a magnificent white sharp scale, and its wingspan grew to 20 feet.
Matthias smiled and hopped onto Typhoon. They then flew towards The Xyton Empire Territory.
He saw a tall dark figure of a knight riding his horse while holding a Light Spirit in a cage. He, with his hundred soldiers, were dragging the cage to the territory to corrupt it.
To join a Faction, one must achieve a deed that can make them want you to join. One of those is to kill a Spirit of the Opposing Faction.
Matthias landed with his Griffin. Establishing his contact with the Griffin, the griffin then became intangible and merged with Matthias. When the merge finished, a Matthias cloaked in Griffin-like armor while wearing a crown helmet emerged. His hands transformed and became that of talons with extreme sharpness. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
It was one of the advanced beast abilities; Merge. It lets the pet merge with the tamer, making them become one with each other, sharing thoughts and feelings and experiences.
The Dark Knight looked at them and yelled, "Siphiro angke!" (Seize them!)
Soldiers and beasts under the Dark Knight charged to attack him.
Matthias took his stance and rushed forward. He first made a side-step and slashed at the first dark spirit, then he pounced towards the next and jumped to kick it. Using the spirit's body's leverage, he jumped high and unleashed a skill.
On his back, huge wings grew with sharp scales. He raised it high and the scales detached and launched towards the surrounding areas, killing a lot of the soldiers.
The three spirits who survived launched an attack on him in mid-air by gathering dark energy and blasting it to him.
Matthias snorted coldly. The scales floated and surrounded him, making a shield in front of him for protection. When the dark energy dispersed, the scales flew and punctured the dark spirits.
He couldn't return it to his back anymore as it is contaminated with Dark Energy. He landed and retracted the wings on his back.
"You'll regret this!!" The Dark Knight yelled and opened its hand. A four-meter black sword appeared on its hand.
Seeing that, Matthias brandished his scales and talons, prepared for battle.
"Ha!" The spirit dragged the sword and slashed it at him. Matthias rolled to the side and rose abruptly to counterattack by stabbing the spirit on its sides using his talons.
The spirit snorted and jumped back, evading the talon narrowly. Suddenly, it froze.
Looking below, its chest was punctured by a long set of scales that is formed like a sword.
Matthias, by rolling to the side and pouncing on the enemy, secretly gathered the contaminated scales and formed a sword with it using his mental energy.
"Sin Ishhai Teledro Sisodin." ( A God never regrets.) Matthias coldly said in Spirit Language. The dark knight died with fear creeping up to it by hearing those words.
