BXBX NOVEL Chapter 248: Gryphons
[A cultivator, a rather powerful one,] suddenly came a message from Nyx. Reading this message, James shook his head, wondering why this cultivator would have come here to kill someone for no reason.
The tracks were incredibly fresh...and there was no sign of them travelling outwards.
With a sudden fright, James started to run towards the mother Gryphon. After a short time, he arrived at the site and saw a man standing next to the mother Gryphon. The man was gently holding the newborn baby Gryphon and just waiting.
James instantly drew the holy sword Clarent from his inventory and then solidified his position to fight.
"Calm down young man, I\'m not stupid enough to kill my own wife," came a voice from the man opposite James.
James shook his head in surprise and then asked, "Are you the one who killed the man on the other side of the forest?" He couldn\'t even imagine that the person in front of him was disgusting enough to have mated with a bird, but he could at least question him about why he had come here.
"Yes, but I\'m not the guilty one," the man said gently.
"What do you mean?" James asked curiously.
"That man had a very dark soul, he was a disgusting being who had killed many people, raped many women and men, and I needed his life energy, so both humanity and us won." the man said calmly.
James shook his head in bewilderment after these words and asked "What?" as if he could not understand.
"There is nothing to understand young man, unlike you, that man\'s soul was dark, not the darkest I have ever seen, but it was dark." the man said, and with these words, the man\'s hands began to glow.
James was still trying to understand what was going on when he saw a large amount of life energy coming out of the man\'s hands. The life energy moved towards the mother Gryphon lying on the ground and the exhausted mother managed to stand up.
"As you can see. By killing a man who had destroyed dozens of lives, I prevented harm to others and saved my wife on top of that. Young man, sometimes things seen are like illusions you wish you could see. You know what they say, not all angels are good and not all devils are evil."
At the man\'s words, James raised the holy sword Clarent to his inventory and then asked curiously, "Who are you, sir?"

As soon as he asked this question, Mother Gryphon shone with a very bright light and turned into an incredibly beautiful woman. Mother Gryphon was so beautiful that James couldn\'t help saying "Woah."
"Thank you for trying to protect me, young man. However, I have a question; Why did you try to protect me even though you came here with the intention of attacking?" asked the mother Gryphon, and hearing this question, James shook his head and replied, "Enemy or not, you were giving birth, how could I harm you when even a snake would not touch someone drinking water?"
After James\' words, the man holding the baby Gryphon smiled and said, "My name is Chao and this is my wife Xia. Thank you for your kind heart young man, please introduce yourself."
After Chao\'s words, James stood up straight with respect and then said, "My name is James, I am known as Umbra of Chaos."
With these words, Chao showed the young man a place with his hand and told him to sit down. When James sat down where he was shown, Mother Gryphon Xia began to speak:
"You are a climber, aren\'t you? Many come here, or rather to this floor. Many of them try to train themselves in qi, and even when they pass the floor, they come back here and continue their training."
At Xia\'s words, James confusedly learnt that this floor was a floor that could be returned to, and then opened the message window, saying, "Please, Miss Xia, I\'d like a second of your time."
After sending a message to Nyx, he received a message saying, [Didn\'t you know that from the 35th floor to the 40th floor, there are floors that are counted as safe areas.]
He then closed the message window and then turned to Xia and said, "Yes ma\'am, I\'m a climber, forgive me I had to check something. However, I came here without any knowledge of this floor and I don\'t plan to train on qi."
With these words, Xia could no longer hide the surprise on her face, "Are you sure about this? Your aura is not complete, right? Or rather, even if it is complete, it is not at the highest level, I can see...you have a maximum medium level aura."
James, on the other hand, even if he was happy that he had potential after this question, he thought that qi training would take a long time and said, "Even if the aura is important, it is much more important for me to climb the tower right now, ma\'am. I need to get to the 75th floor as soon as possible."
Xia and Chao, who were caring for the newborn puppy, stared at James as if they could no longer hide their surprise.
"You shouldn\'t look forward to becoming a god, young man, it\'s not a good thing. Improvement is of the utmost importance on this path, an unimproved god is nothing more than a weak holy being." Chao suddenly said. Even if these words were full of wisdom, James\' desire was clear. At least for the moment.
