My Magical System-Chapter 265 - Sphin
265 Sphin
Back to the Elder Dark Priest’s domain.
“This…”
Eman was dumbfounded after the Elder Dark Priest summoned a creature that was very identical to a mythical creature called Sphinx.
“It can also fly, My Lord…”
Well, since he saw a pair of wings on it, it would be idiotic if they were just there for design purposes, no? Still, this creation surprised him. How was the elder able to create it while also working on a different task? That question came into his mind.
“There’s no way these wings are from bat wings, right?” Eman asked. Although the form was clearly from one, it was still hard to believe because of its size.
“Uhm, they are indeed from bat wings, but not the ordinary bats you’ve probably known.”
“So, you mean it’s from a big bat?”
“A Goliath Bat, My Lord.”
.....
“…..”
“I see…”
Eman did not expect that. He never thought there was something like that. He did not want to ask more about it, though. This world was magical in the first place. So, a creature such as that was surely not impossible in this world. Even on earth, he also saw some videos of gigantic bat, but whether it was fake or not was the only thing he wasn’t sure.
“Everything is thanks to this staff you gave me, My lord,” said the elder as he embraced the staff that he just summoned. “This weapon did not only increase my power, but also my knowledge about many things. It broadened my understanding to many things. I think I can make and do a lot of things with the help of it.”
Eman just smiled wryly. It looked like mythical tier equipment truly gives incredible result to the user. Hopefully, he could get another one later. It looked like increasing his [Luck] attributes is a must.
“Mhm! I’m happy for you. Regardless, is this capable of fighting?” He looked at the creature.
“Yes, My lord, it can. It has enhanced attributes. It also has some useful abilities like its roar that can produce Sonic Blast, its very sharp claws, and its eyes that can use night vision. Aside from that, it also can produce Emerald Fire and can also create an Anti-Magic Field.”
Hearing that, Eman’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
“A-Anti magic?!” He exclaimed.
“Yes, My lord.”
Damn! Forget about those other abilities, that anti-magic ability was already enough!
“If that was true, then this creature is so powerful.”
“Indeed. I hope My lord will accept it as my gift.”
“You’re giving this to me?”
“It’s my goal to create something beneficial to you, My lord. Please, My lord, let that thing serve you,” Elder Dark Priest bowed slightly as he begged.
Although Eman didn’t want to have a hybrid of a human-beast creature as his pet, he had to admit that this creature would be a big help to him, especially its ability.
“I see. Then, I will accept this one.”
Hearing that, “I’m very grateful to serve you, My lord,” the creature suddenly spoke in a feminine voice. To be honest, it creeped him out. But, Eman already expected that it could speak because the other human-face creatures that the elder created before it was also capable of speaking.
Eman forced a smile and nodded. “What will I call you?” He asked the creature.
It shook its head. “I don’t have a name so far. My lord can decide it.”
“Oh…” Eman pondered again. After a couple of seconds of pondering, he looked at it again. “Then, I will call you Sphin from now on.”
“Sphin… I like it, My lord,” said the creature.
“Wow, Sphin, that’s a good name.”
“Congrats Sphin.”
Azure and Amber looked happy for Sphin.
Suddenly, after receiving a name, its body glowed in emerald brilliance. Eman and the others were slightly surprised. Sphin suddenly underwent an evolution.
Now its hair was emerald fire, its eyes were glowing in emerald color as well. Its feet were blazing in emerald flame and even its tail was blazing too.
What a transformation!
“Eh? It was promoted to a gold rank!” The elder said while gawking. Eman, Azure, and Amber also looked dumbfounded.
At least it looked less creepy now unlike before, Eman thought. He could feel the tremendous magical power of it.
“Thank you very much, Master,” said Sphin.
“…..”
He noticed she changed her way of calling him. Not that he cared though.
“Mhm…” Eman nodded. “You can rest for now. I will summon you later when I need your help.”
“Okay, Master.” After saying that, her figure disappeared like a puff of smoke.
After Sphin disappeared, the Elder Dark Priest opened his mouth. “Anyway, My lord, its anti-magic ability is limited to a certain size only, but seeing its promotion now, I believe its abilities have also improved. So, I hope My lord will check it later on.”
“Okay, I will do that. Anyway, let’s talk about my main reason for coming.”
“Oh, yes. About that, My Lord, it’s good news. I succeeded. I created the device you’re wanting me to create.”
“What? Really?” Although his face looked calm, he was surprised internally.
Azure and Amber had no idea what they were talking about, so they remained quiet. Also, they could not interfere with their conversation.
The Elder Dark Priest presented the item to him.
“A ring?”
“Uhm, do you prefer another form, My lord?”
“No, I like this more. I just did not expect that you would make it the way I want,” Eman grinned.
The design wasn’t just a simple ring, it was very appealing. There was a crystal stone at the center. He believed it was a tiny piece of that Mana Stone as he could feel faint magical energy on it.
He noticed the elder sighed in relief after hearing his reply.
“Well then, let me explain to you how to use it, My lord.”
“Okay.”
The elder then explained the condition needed for the ability of the ring to activate. After a couple of minutes of listening to Elder Dark Priest, he finally understood.
“Oh, so it can only take you to a place with a dense concentration of magical energy?”
“Yes, My Lord. I’ve tried it once. But the ring took me to a town that was under attack by a tide of monsters.”
“I see. Eh? Wait! You said a town is under attack by a tide of monsters?”
“That’s right.”
“.....”
