60 Chapter 59 - The Final Guardian (1/2)
Both Lavendia and Dana continuously travelled towards the inheritance, before stopping for Dana's meal of the day.
Due to Lavendia wanting to please Dana, she decided to do the one thing that always works, to satisfy her stomach!
Therefore, under the cold gaze of Dana, as the Dryad asked for some of the Shark meat and Spirit Fruits she had contained within her storage ring as a reward for completing the Nature inheritance.
Due to Lavendia being very familiar with these types of Spirit Fruits she knows the ones which possess the greatest taste, thus she blended the flavours contained within the fruit with the Shark meat, creating a delicious meal for Dana which moaned in pleasure upon tasting it.
Eating the meal heartily, she began to feel slightly guilty as during this whole time she truly knew the Dryad's desire towards her, but as she had never once dealt with a serious relationship within her previous life and this one, she didn't know how to respond to it at all!
So, naturally, Dana came up with the perfect solution by acting dumb as if she didn't know anything going on at all to avoid a confrontation between them, so she doesn't have to talk about it all.
And even if she is now a Dragon, being a virgin in both this life and the previous doesn't help her confidence at all regarding relationships, as she didn't have a single clue about them at all.
During her last life, she was to busy having fun to have a relationship and thought that one would come eventually when she will settle down, but that ended up being destroyed by her untimely death.
Putting this in the back of the mind, Dana said, ”This food is good, this at least proves you have a use for something.”
But, Dana obviously wouldn't let this show in her expression when she said that in her usual tone before Lavendia, but the Dryad still knew that her plan had been a success, and Dana had warmed up to her slightly.
A day quickly pasts and both Dana and the Dryad finally arrived at the last inheritance, on the way they encountered many Wind Attributed beasts, which the Dryad swiftly dealt with, causing Dana to find another benefit of having a subordinate is that they can kill the small fries for her without her having to even make a move.
Thinking in the future if she had a large group of subordinates, wouldn't that make it much easier, to not only gather a large number of resources but to deal with a large group of small fries which are scattered around the Continent.
She felt by having such an organisation; it would make it far easier for her, unknowingly this is the first step Dana has made in thinking of creating a Sect.
Removing such thoughts, she had finally arrived in front of the last inheritance, where the last of the five old fogies voice sounded within her mind and said, ”So you visited this old man last, have you? Well, it doesn't matter anyway, I have just been bored for so long with none coming even to dare attempt my inheritance for the longest time in comparison to the others. So, I won't keep you much longer, as the guardian within my inheritance hasn't faced an opponent in so long, and is itching for a challenge.”
After the old fogies voice ended, both Dana and Lavendia were transported onto a large platform, which seemed to face a large mountain containing a massive birds nest directly.
Thinking what would be the guardian this time, she was shocked to find it is a Griffin, a being depicted in legends.
Analysing the Griffin for herself, it stood on the massive bird nest proudly, when its gaze landed on her it contained an enormous amount of animosity.
Causing Dana to wonder why the Griffin is staring at her as if she butchered it entire family in front of it, believing the large hostility being unusual, she was instantly answered by the System.
[Host, it is because Dragons are the arch enemies of Griffins as a result of clashing many times with them for territories over thousands of years. Of course, a Dragon is almost always superior when it comes to facing a Griffin one on one, but Griffins would always gang up on a Dragon by itself. Due, to Dragons slaughtering many of their kin, pillaging their territories and stealing their women. The Griffins have a great hatred for Dragons to the utmost highest degree, and would love nothing more than to deliver them a painful death.]
Geeze, thanks for the uplifting message System.
The System seemingly not getting Dana's sarcasm at all, responded, [Your very welcome Host, after all the System is here to serve the Hosts best interests!]
Turning serious, Dana thought 'Well at least this Griffin is by itself so I should be much superior even without adding Lavendia into the mix.'
But, right then Dana said that almost simultaneously another Griffin appeared alongside the other one, with this one being slightly smaller than the other.
Cursing her loud mouth, Dana said to Lavendia, ”You think you can handle the second Griffin while I engage the bigger one?”
Lavendia responded assuringly, ”I can handle it, Master, I won't be disadvantageous at all if I come to face it! Just go and deal with it, while I will deal with things on my end.”
Hearing the Dryad's encouragement, Dana flew towards the Griffins, who both look at her with murderous intent, as they both charged towards her.
However, Lavendia used her nature attribute as she used a vine like a whip as she whacked the smaller Griffin of course from Dana, also inflicting a minor injury towards it.
Angered being attacked suddenly by another enemy, it furiously stared at Lavendia at it changed its target to her instead of Dana.
Seeing that the other Griffin is preoccupied with Lavendia, Dana approaches the larger Griffin rapidly, as once again two heads grew out of her body preparing her for battle.
But, unlike the large Griffin was pretty composed as it saw Dana suddenly grew two heads, and its shock from the sight was soon changed to its former calm expression within seconds.
