Lin Yucha controlled the Platform Floating Cloud to spread its wings, and as a result, two pale golden wings blood from either side of the cloud, making the cloud resemble a strange, large bird.
"Isn’t this too conspicuous?" Lin Yushi said hesitantly, visible to anyone in the sky.
Du You shook his head, "No, only we can see this, others can’t." Du You had just asked his soldiers and found out that his own troops couldn’t see the two large wings, which explained the situation.
The unfolding of the two wings was like adding two shields on either side, which actually enhanced the overall defense of the Floating Cloud.
"Let’s test the speed, that’s the most important thing." The main purpose of these two wings was to increase speed.
Lin Yucha nodded, and then the three of them began their test riding the wings. The result was that initially, the speed of the Floating Cloud wasn’t very fast, but as it accelerated continuously, the speed increased, resembling a train.
If there was more cargo, the acceleration ti would be longer, but when reaching maximum speed, the ti was roughly the sa, with only the difficulty of decelerating varying. In the high altitude, there was little friction, and resistance was automatically reduced by the Floating Cloud. When it reached its top speed, Du You realized that it was almost as fast as Xiaozi’s speed.
Perhaps slightly slower than his own flying Summoned Beast and not as fast as Lin Yushi’s Demons Destruction Wings, but not much slower either.
"This skill is suited for long-distance travel. With this ability, we won’t need to ride Summoned Beasts for long-distance flights in the future." Du You was very satisfied with this.
Lin Yucha gently nodded. This skill might not have much effect in combat, but travelling would be different in the future.
In the past, travel ant staying on Xiaozi, where you couldn’t move around much during the long journey, which was very uncomfortable. But now, with this, it could be arranged, and the whole Floating Cloud would be like a small square.
Unlike the hardship of previous travels, future journeys could be as comfortable as living at ho. For Du You and others, the enjoynt this skill provided clearly outweighed its practical combat effects.
This isn’t to say the skill was useless. On the contrary, if used well, it could be very powerful. If Du You set up the Platform Floating Cloud in advance, he could even turn it into a ship-like combat fortress. Both its mobility and combat capabilities would be very high, and even just for transporting goods, the effects would be remarkable.
Next were the wings of the strange bird itself. Corresponding to Du You’s Black Jade Griffin, it was the last Summoned Beast skill that hadn’t yet advanced. Du You took it out and placed it in the Skill Hall.
The advancent was fairly standard and unremarkable, taking less than three days to complete.
Black Jade Griffin King: A fusion of Wind King Griffin with dark powers. Requires 24 hours to resummon after death. (Level 33, 10 stars)
Magic Power: 100%
Skills: Aerial Combat, Wind Blade, Whirlwind Protection, Wind Blade Ball, Riding, Shattered Blade Storm, Ripping the Void
Aerial Combat: Increases close combat abilities, enhancing mid-air lee combat by 100%
Wind Blade: Controls wind to form blades for long-range strikes, with dark attribute.
Whirlwind Protection: Controls the wind to form a barrier around it, with certain defensive and offensive capabilities, dark attribute.
Wind Blade Ball: A sphere ford by wind blades, explodes upon impact with the target, dark attribute.
Riding: The Black Jade Griffin King possesses a riding function, which, when combined with the knight class, can exert even greater power.
Shattered Blade Storm: A tornado composed of dark wind blade fragnts, immune to both itself and its rider.
Ripping the Void: The claws and beak of the Black Jade Griffin King possess powerful cutting abilities that can tear open space. The sharp spatial rifts enhance its attack power with a spatial attack attribute.
Unexpectedly, the Black Jade Griffin King did not enhance its own defensive capabilities. Originally, Du You believed that these summoned beasts would constantly compensate for their weaknesses, aiming for versatility; however, that was not the case in reality.
This Black Jade Griffin, becoming the Black Jade Griffin King, continued with the dark wind attribute, but the two added skills were both attack types.
That Shattered Blade Storm, similar to wind blade fragnts caught in a whirlwind, acts like a at grinder, capable of sucking everything into it and pulverizing within a specific range—a potent attack skill indeed.
Once activated, it would create a column of whirlwind, even a tornado, the terrifying suction devouring everything around, which was very frightening. Moreover, the addition of a dark attribute attack possessed a continually corroding nature.
In terms of attack, it was definitively stronger, not weaker than the pure wind attribute. This at grinder-like skill, especially when facing a large number of enemies, could play a very powerful clearing effect. However, for those enemies with strong magic resistance and defense, this effect was not so good, a conclusion Du You reached after experints.
And the last new skill, Ripping the Void, this skill actually involved a spatial effect.
Regrettably, this skill was not a long-range attack but a lee attack. It could only be executed through the claws and beak. It did not possess a spatial effect on its own but ripped open space directly using dark power.
Then it used spatial rifts for indirect attacks; this flying creature kept developing in the direction of lee combat. No wonder many worlds claim that griffins are the kings of the skies, this creature indeed behaved abnormally.
After experints, Du You found that this type of spatial rift attack was extrely terrifying. These were not rifts created by a space mage, but chaotic rifts opened directly, hard to control yet stronger in lethality.
These spatial rifts could easily create rather deep wounds on one’s evolved Death Scorpion. If it weren’t for the Death Scorpion’s strong defensive magic resistance, it really wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
This attack was less effective against super-massive creatures like the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, due to physical size comparison. The Black Jade Griffin King was only so big, and did not grow much with its evolution, so the attack range of its claws was not very large; this was a limitation. However, for smaller enemies, this unexpected attack definitely had disastrous effects.
In so respects, it was even more effective than its Death Scorpion’s mutually assured destruction tactic.
"Although it’s not very versatile, it’s better for combat, very good, very good," Du You first felt a bit disappointed, then smiled with satisfaction. Poor defense didn’t matter; after all, dying wasn’t real death, since it could be resurrected.
In a significant way, having a summoned beast with powerful attacks made its role more pronounced.
