Chapter 575 - Lapis’ Conundrum (1/2)
Chapter 575: Lapis’ Conundrus and dove doith its extended razor-sharp claws Clang! A sword eed in Rhode’s hand and he struck off the Holy Griffin’s attack It bellowed fiercely and sprung backward, at the sa tail forward Rhode waved his sword and drew a mysterious arc in the air to sweep the attack away Then, he brandished forward and a spiritual blade ray struck the Holy Griffin The powerful iround, but it quickly flipped over and regained its stance
“Not bad” Rhode nodded in satisfaction
Of course, he didn’t intend to pull out all the stops against the Holy Griffin If he did that, the Holy Griffin would surely turn into worthless trash instantly However, this didn’t mean that it wasn’t powerful Instead, it was because Rhode was too strong If the Holy Griffin was able to keep Rhode busy for a long tith of the Master Stage However, even Lapis wasn’t capable of creating such a high standard Construct
Rhode had figured out the basic functionalities of this Stone Construct It had high defense and there weren’t any signs of dah flexibility to cliround Although it had a bodyAlche
The Holy Griffin’s strength was between level 25 to 30 and it alone definitely couldn’t threaten the Undead Army at all Low-level alcheroups in order to pose a threat Rhode compared this Holy Griffin to the air troops of the Country of Darkness No oyle of the Bone Falcon, they weren’t individually powerful and the Gargoyle was at most level 20 However, due to the unique Undead Alchemy of the Country of Darkness, they would have the upper hand against the Holy Griffins
But there were also disadvantages The oyles were ordinary and crude while the Holy Griffins that Lapis had created used first-rate rocks Due to this reason, the Gargoyle had horrible defenses where Archers that had entered into the Elite Stage could easily eliminate them
On the contrary, the Bone Falcon didn’t have physical bodies and were more of spiritual presences The Bone Falcons were also the best scouts for the Undead Ar their almost transparent bodies Besides that, the unusual connection between the Undead Creatures and the Undead Mages could allow the Undead Mages to receive intelligence as though through a scanning radar Not only that, but the Bone Falcons’ attribute could also allow theed by ical attacks and equipment
Due to this unique feature, the Bone Falcon was considered one of the higher-tier troops in the Undead Aroyle, only the Generals and Cohts to use them
If Rhode were to cohter plane while the Bone Falcon would be a spy plane If the Holy Griffin could be ainst the Gargoyles However, it was still too difficult for the Holy Griffin’s current attacking forainst the Bone Falcons
“Are there no other ways for them to be equipped with elemental attributes?” said Rhode
“Sorry, Sir Rhode…” Lapis lowered her head “The powers of these Soul Cores were too weak I’ve tried my best to make it move on its own and it consumed all the powers of the Soul Core…”
“I understand, it’s not your fault” Rhode patted her shoulder and he realized that this young lady had changed a lot Although Lapis wasn’t a beauty like Marlene, Gillian, or Celestina, she was still a lovely young lady But now, Rhode could only see her haggard face Perhaps due to overworking, Lapis’ pale skin had become deathly pale and her cheeks had become thinner Moreover, there were obvious, bruised dark circles under her eyes Although Lapis had covered theue on her face
Rhode let out a sigh inwardly He had been out for so many days and he had shown the least concern for this Alchemy Elf before him Lapis had a reserved personality and usually wouldn’t speak much Moreover, she seldom took initiatives and often only heed orders from Rhode Even when she faced difficulties, she seldoh Lapis didn’t mention, Rhode could read fro the h her head was filled with the alchee of the Behermes and she possessed the abilities of an Alchemist Master, even the top scientists couldn’t fiddle with the nuclear reactor unarht and not for herself
There weren’t anyht had also just been established and wasn’t wealthy, so it wasn’t possible for hi on Lapis’ research and creation, e suh the collaboration with the Silver Libra and the old was uild and fortress Moreover, there were many instances where Lapis couldn’t purchase the materials that she needed even when there was sufficient money and she had to make do hat she had As for the materials to create the Holy Griffins, Rhode didn’t purchase theh their reement
“Lapis,” Rhode said and she lifted her head hurriedly “That’s all for today We will be having a feast tonight and everyone including you must participate From today onward, temporarily leave the tasks on your hands and have a break”
“B-But, Sir…” Lapis widened her eyes in uncertainty “We finally ed to… What if…”
“Don’t worry, we’re not in that h I know that you’re an Alchemist Master and you have a way to ood for yourin an overly tense life From today onward, take a break for a while”
It wasn’t unreasonable for Rhode to say this Although Lapis was an expert in alcheh sheit, her health would surely take a toll Rhode didn’t understand the difference between an Alche, but overexhaustion was never great for no ht’s most important members, Rhode didn’t wish to squeeze her dry
Lapis lowered her head and her cheeks flushed Then, she nodded slightly “Okay, Sir Rhode”
