Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 657 New Power and New Companions

After Haina woke up, she felt that the whole world had become different.

——After getting the new profession, she clearly felt that she had become much stronger.

The strength of the body becomes more abundant, and the memory of martial arts skills that have never been learned is engraved in the heart.

——[Charge of the Elephant].

——[Fierce Leopard Strike].

——[Running Wolf].

……

In addition to the new abilities of these "warriors", Haina has also mastered the characteristics of the new advanced profession "Royal Guard":
The Royal Guard is an advanced profession that emphasizes defense and counterattack. Compared with the Arbiter who holds a sword with both hands, it is a profession that encourages wearing a shield.

It can even maintain agility while holding a huge tower shield with one hand.

The basic profession called "Warrior" gave her higher strength, agility and physical fitness than before. If her strength and physique have only become a little stronger, then her agility can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes - after she put on the Arbiter's fully armed armor, she would obviously feel that her movements were hindered.

The only drawback... is probably that the mana pool is significantly reduced.

Haina stood in the yard, looking down at her hands.

Use agile speed to dodge or defend the opponent's attack, and then launch a fatal blow after accumulating enough "power" - one blow will be fatal, and no second blow will be struck.

This is quite consistent with Haina’s path characteristics!
It only takes a period of training for her to become stronger... as long as she digests and adapts to this new power.

Strong electric current burst out of her body, accompanied by a storm. In an instant, her whole body turned into thunder.

Although she seems to have no use for this power... Haina has experienced many difficult battles. She knows the meaning of strength - to protect herself and those close to her.

Now she no longer needs to rent a house, but lives in a three-story garden villa, and she is even assigned six servants. Of course, this does not really belong to Haina... When she leaves the Arbitration Hall, these things will be returned to the Arbitration Hall.

That is the ability to resist a fate that one does not want to accept - there is never too much of this ability.

The "Warrior" profession has a mana pool, and it has four kinds of mana - wind, earth, water, and fire are possible, but warriors can only have one kind of mana pool. The extra mana pool obtained through the path characteristics will also be converted into vitality. This ultimate and pure source of strength is their body.

"So strong, this power..."

The warrior's mana pool is to use the combat skills of the corresponding element by burning the mana pool, or to transform himself into the corresponding elemental state. Haina possesses a mana pool of wind attribute, so the combat skill inheritance she received is about storm and thunder.

——This is the "element incarnation" state.

With a thought in Haina's mind, her whole body turned into a bolt of lightning and quickly moved to another place. The electric light exploded and burned the grass on the ground to black. This made Haina startled and exited this state.

But now, she felt that she could even use two fingers to spin and throw her sword away without spinning her fingers off. Even if he wears all the armor, he can still launch "charge" combat skills that are many times more ferocious than before.

Its basic characteristic is that it can enhance its combat effectiveness through "speed". Royal Guards can "acquire momentum" by moving, defending, withstanding attacks, or attacking others, and use the accumulated "momentum" through any action to multiply the next action - whether it is movement, defense, counterattack, or pursuit. .

She murmured in a low voice, with excitement in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Therefore, the lighter the weapon, the stronger it will be for the royal guards. Even in an absolutely passive situation, the Royal Guard still has the possibility of making a comeback.

This courtyard was the official residence she was assigned after becoming the arbiter.

Her mana pool is only a quarter of what it used to be, and she has also lost her light attribute mana pool - as an arbiter, Haina's original mana pool is light and wind. But now she only has the wind attribute.

She took a deep breath, and then her hair crackled with lightning——

"Haina..."

But at this moment, Haina heard Liz's voice.

She turned back subconsciously: "What's wrong, honey?"

As Haina spent more time with her gryphon companion, she became more and more affectionate in calling Liz.

But as soon as Haina said the words, there was a sudden thump in her heart——

According to the degree of telepathy between her and her gryphon partner, she should be able to easily sense the other person's thoughts at such a distance.

But she didn't feel Liz's thoughts at all.

"...The contract is terminated, Haina."

Liz, who had completely transformed into a white-feathered griffin, slowly walked over.

Her voice was a little confused and at a loss: "What happened...I can't hear your heart..." "Liz!"

Haina quickly hugged Liz.

how so……

The fire of joy in her heart instantly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

——Have you gained new power, but lost your close companion?

But Haina hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said everything honestly: "That's it, Liz..."

Liz, the white-feathered griffon, listened quietly to everything without saying a word.

Haina stroked Liz's feathers with some sadness and fear, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Liz... it's my fault...

"...If you want to find a new partner..."

Haina said this, but she couldn't say the second half anyway.

Although griffons are intelligent creatures and naturally extraordinary creatures, they cannot dream. Without a contract partner, the gryphon would not be able to deepen its path to authority and continue to grow stronger.

In other words, if the Griffin wants to develop better, it must sign a contract. Use partners as a transfer to draw on the power of the road.

...So, is she going to let Liz go back?
Tears filled her eyes, she gritted her teeth and hugged Liz.

——But Liz is like her child!
She knew it was best for her to let Liz go back.

But she couldn't say it no matter what...

"——Haina."

Liz, whose speech had become very clear, spoke as softly as an artistic girl: "Do you hate me?"

Liz is a gryphon with a very strange temper.

In the process of transforming into a white-feathered gryphon, she became quieter and quieter, and even liked to read books.

When Haina was in college, a friend gave her a collection of poems. At that time, Haina was reluctant to throw it away, but she couldn't stand it anymore, so she kept carrying it with her.

Unexpectedly, Liz loved watching this when she grew up.

"I don't hate you, I like you very much! But..."

Haina was silent for a while: "I am no longer a transcendent of the authoritarian path...I can't let you continue to become stronger."

Liz smiled.

Haina actually saw the tenderness of a sister on the gryphon's face.

"It's okay, Haina..."

She advised gently, wiping Haina's tears with her head: "As long as you don't hate me. Since you didn't accept the new power because you wanted to terminate the contract with me, then this is just an accident.

"Just like if one party in a couple is seriously ill or disabled, will the other party leave the other party? Their contract only exists at the legal level, but our contract is based on the soul.

"We are still partners - I will never leave you. As long as you don't leave me, I will never leave you."

Liz the gryphon replied in the affirmative.

This is the "loyalty" that "authority" brings.

Liz hugged Haina and said softly: "Just like a sheep looking for salt, I am also looking for you.

"You still have the Heart of the Storm, don't you? We can still fly together.

"When you leave the authoritarian path, it is like breaking a window. It may not be broken, but it creates a new path and welcomes new light.

"Just like I am no longer your contract partner, but I can still be your partner.

"It's our first time meeting you, Haina."

Griffin Liz smiled softly: "My name is Liz.

"I like you very much."
