Chapter 712 - 656: Hell Griffin (2) (1/2)

The MoonStar team had no time to lament over the disappearance of their comrade. Gutcha's declaration was loud and clear, at least making them slightly relieved that Cristina is in safe hands.

With one less person, the difficulty of the trial significantly increased. Cristina and Ardor are the main vanguard of the team and now one is gone, leaving the sword-wielding youth with all the pressure.

The Hell Griffin, no longer bothered by the black tornado and the spear sweeps, directed its attention toward the closest human, Ardor.

Its wings flapped faster, unleashing bursts of dark and red flames, covering the sky and the arena, even pushing everyone to the back.

Each person used a technique to defend themselves, Shu Ru's Godspirit extinguished the flames, Bora's arrows split the fire, Ho Qing's Phoenix fire clashed against the Griffin's and resulted in sparks and blast waves.

Most of the other teams opted to stay away from the pigolo, disliking the ominous and sinister aura of Dark Magic which was emanating from his body.

”Not defeat, just fight for five minutes.”

”That monster can defeat a God Monarch!”- Cosima

”Quiet, Cosima.”

Marjory nudged her junior and signaled for her to keep her mouth shut, however, the demon girl didn't stop.

”Teams like ours will fail if we fight that. The ones with more numbers clearly have an advantage.”

Hearing this, Gutcha snickered and shrugged his shoulders.

”So what? Some Trials favor big-number teams and others do the opposite. I have no say in this. Perhaps you'd like to talk to my boss? Should I schedule a private meeting?”

The last spoken questions were obviously to mock the angered Cosima. The pigolo motioned for her to sit down and added,
