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.
Thinking that this will prove a troublesome opponent, both the Griffin and Dragon exchange blows, as both fought against each other viciously.
The Griffin which is seeing its most hated enemy before it enforced every bit of power within its body it could muster into its attacks, as it used the Wind attribute to amplify its speed, using this as an advantage to launch continuous attacks and to dodge out of the way of Dana's most fearsome blows.
Dana using her strong body and her regeneration to her advantage knew that at the moment she could not compete with the agile Griffin which specialised in speed due to the wind attribute and its nature itself, thus disregarded the Griffins attacks to counter in order to land her own strikes against it.
Soon enough, both were covered in their fair share amount of wounds, but Dana's were closing at a rapid pace in regards to the Griffin which had no such recovery ability.
The Griffin seeing the unusual scene before it grew puzzled seeing Dana possess such an ability, its thoughts began drifiting to panic thinking that it would be impossible for it to defeat Dana if she possess such an ability, but it soon disregarded this and thought Dana could'nt keep such a mystical ability up, with it must causing some sort of toll on her.
Of course this is caused by the Griffins natural hatred over Dragons, as the Griffin just could'nt give up such a fight, as it would disgrace itself if it done such a thing, thus it would rather over-look such a fact rather than give up in the hope of killing Dana.
Thinking that its about time she uses her attributes, Dana decides to use a skill she hasn't tested before, due to the Griffins speed!
Using the third stage of the lotus technique, multiple ice lotuses began condensing, as she didn't want the Griffin to escape once again from her strikes, she will use this technique which is especially targetted for speedy opponents and also numerous weaker ones.
Witnessing the multiple ice lotuses, the Griffin eyes grew wary as it attempted to dodge the multiple lotuses coming towards it, but this proved fruitless as they seemed to be endless with eventually one hitting it, causing it to shriek in pain.
Although as a result of creating multiple different lotuses will reduce the power of the strike, it still causes a great deal of damage, even if it could'nt be compared to Dana's full power.
Seeing her attack landed, Dana took advantage of this and launched multiple balls of flame and shot spears of Earth towards the Griffin, which frantically attempted to evade the numerous attacks.
But, alas it could'nt escape them all as it was hit by a few more, inflicting a few more injuries.
Dana also decided to use another ability of the Hydra to deal with this beast, as it was weakened by the barrage of attacks, it will vulnerable enough for her to use the poison fog ability.
A amounst of gaseous substance emerge from Dana's mind, as the poisonous gas covered the Griffin's body, causing it to howl in agony as the poison caused its flesh to feel burning with scorching heat and chilling frost at the same time.
Normally, the Griffin would be simply to fast to be hit by such a strike, but weakened by Dana's attacks, it became vulnerable enough for her to do so!
Being gravely hurt by the poison, the Griffin was on its last legs as it attempted to kill it enemy with it, putting all of its remaining Qi within its final attack, the Griffin attacked Dana with a ferocious expression as it wanted to see her travel to the grave alongside it.
To the Griffin, it was amongst the highest honours to kill a Dragon, so of course, it would feel satisfied if it brought a Dragon beside it in death, especially one of such great potential like Dana!
But, Dana was long prepared for this, as she created numerous walls of the earth in addition to Earth Armor, which shattered through Griffin's strike like glass, but did as they were meant to do and weakened the Griffins blow as it impacted upon her.
As the stike landed upon her the Earth Armor surrounding her body instantly smashed into pieces, and a horrible wound was left on her body as force travelled into her body, causing her to roar in pain.
Quickly, after the attack landed, the Griffin which expended every it had for the strike collapsed weakly on the ground.
Dana emerging in front of the still body of the Griffin which luckily ended up falling into its nest, in doing so saving the trouble for Dana who would have to drag the body back up here.
The Griffins eyes regarded Dana with horror, as it saw that even with such a fearsome attack from it, she made it out without a crippling injury!
Staring at her with reluctance of failing to do what it set out to do, Dana just approached it and finally ended its life by piercing its throat.
Due to the Griffin expending all of its spiritual energy and even damaging its cultivation permanently to do such an attack on Dana, it was easy for her to end its life in such a state.
Thinking back to that clash, she thought 'Damn that hurt, that blow from the Griffin was no small matter!
Even though she looked like she came out of that relatively unharmed, it was still a strike which expended all of the Griffin's Qi and even sacrificed its cultivation permanently to deliver such power, causing it even to be able to threaten a 9th Rank Core Formation Cultivator!
The fact Dana managed to come out of that exchange in such a condition, was extraordinary impressive enough.
Taking her mind of these thoughts, Dana thought 'I wonder how Lavendia is doing with the other one, I better go and help her quickly.'
Even though the other Griffin was a fair bit weaker, she still didn't want her to be met with misfortune due to a similar experience which she had received from the Griffin, which expended everything to end her life.
Thus, Dana flew rapidly towards the sounds of Lavendia and the Griffin fighting within the distance.
