Primordial beasts. In the God's Domain of today, these creatures were either extremely rare, or had long since gone extinct. They were beings that one would not normally see.
Now that the Twelve Trials had been activated, Shi Feng would also have the fortune of meeting one. If he were at any other location, it would be extremely hard for him to meet a primordial beast.
Above the stage of the 1st trial, a blurred figure slowly descended from the skies, remaining unperturbed even in the face of the turbulent winds of this realm.
This gigantic figure landed at the center of the stage, towering over the tiny Shi Feng.
With the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion, this monster was none other than the king of the skies, a Gryphon.
[Gryphon] (Elite Rank)
Level 20
HP 30,000/30,000
"I didn't expect a Gryphon would be so big. Just its wingspan alone is over 20 meters." Shi Feng did not hurry into action. Instead, he took his time carefully observing the Gryphon.
He was currently within a trial. The monsters in here were completely different from their counterparts in the outside world. Not only would the monsters inside a trial possess a large variety of skills, their Basic Attributes would also be much higher. Most importantly, their intelligence would also be higher; they would not follow a set pattern when they fought.
However, the Gryphon did not provide Shi Feng with too much time to think. With a piercing cry, the Gryphon flapped its wings, generating a violent gale.
Instantly, two tornados over three meters in height swept towards Shi Feng, and where the blades of wind passed, everything shattered.
_Using a skill right off the bat? As expected, this Gryphon_ _isn't an ordinary_ _monster._
Revealing a faint smile, Shi Feng's figure flashed, swiftly withdrawing from the attack range of the two tornadoes.
Following which, he activated Silent Steps, instantly appearing behind the Gryphon. Before the king of the skies could react, the pitch-black Abyssal Blade turned into multiple streaks of black, slashing down at the Gryphon's wings.
Like snowflakes, the Gryphon's snowy white feathers fluttered onto the now bloodstained ground.
"Aooo!"
The Gryphon let out an agonized roar, damages of over -400 points appearing above its head, one after another. The attacks that achieved a critical hit had even dealt over -800 damage.
Immediately afterward, Shi Feng followed up with a Level 10 Chop, his sword slicing off a large chunk from one of the Gryphon's wings, completely crippling it.
Meanwhile, the Gryphon instantly lost over 1,900 HP from the attack.
From this short exchange, the Gryphon had already lost 16% of its total HP. Furthermore, with one of its wings now crippled, it could not fly even if it wanted to.
The gap in strength was obvious in a single glance.
Against a Shi Feng who had over 200 points in Agility, a flightless Gryphon would only amount to a sitting duck.
Following which, Shi Feng constantly shuttled around the Gryphon, sending streak after streak of black radiance stabbing into the Gryphon's body. However, Shi Feng only used basic attacks throughout all this. This way he would not be affected by the awkward movements consequent to using a skill, which would hinder his ability to dodge. Moreover, Shi Feng's attacks were extremely accurate. Every one of his attacks would land either on a vital point of the Gryphon or at a joint that would affect the Gryphon's movements, making it even harder for the Gryphon to strike him.
