For several seconds, Ethan could only stare.
The creature hovering above the ocean was no longer the Griffling he knew.
Its body had grown enormous, its powerful limbs ending in curved talons capable of tearing through flesh and bone. Deep green feathers covered its chest, while a magnificent pair of wings stretched from its back, each feather gleaming like polished jade.
It didn't even need to flap its wings.
The wind carried it.
Its sharp beak and intelligent eyes gave it an almost regal appearance, while the currents surrounding its body seemed to bend to its will.
Ethan's mouth hung open.
'That's a fucking full-blown Griffin.'
A beast straight out of ancient mythology, much like the Leviathan it was hovering opposite.
He'd seen plenty of incredible things since acquiring his Title, yet none of them had left him quite as stunned as this. The same stubborn Griffling that had failed to evolve time and time again was now an A Rank beast.
'You actually did it!'
