Chapter 53: Hopeless
A characteristic eagle’s beak and head, with beautiful golden plumage adorned its front, and two enormous eagle wings extended from each side of its body. Its front legs were golden, with claws as long as a human head, which were bathed in blood.
Its rear was that of a lion, with two large lion paws that made a powerful sound as it walked. Its lion-like figure was adorned with three serpentine tails that rose above its body and pointed in different directions, as if showing it the way forward.
That distinctive figure revealed its race: a race that was once only part of mythology, a majestic Griffin.
This one was special because it had three tails with snake heads, sending a shiver down Jenna’s body.
"...Rank A..." she whispered, incredulous.
Elliot knew this; he had read many years ago about these mythological creatures that now roam the world. It is said that they are all born as Rank C, but as they grow, they gain strength. If they have two tails, they are Rank B; with three tails, they are Rank A. There are also four-tailed creatures; so far, the most powerful ones seen have had five tails.
It is important to know that there are three types of races on Earth today.
Type 0 Races are those that do not have highly developed intelligence but possess brute strength. Orcs, werewolves, and other similar beast races belong to this category. Almost all the beasts that emerge from the Portals are Type 0 Races.
Type 1 Races are those that have developed intelligence, such as humans, elves, dwarves, etc.
Type 2 Races are a special category given to those races that have the peculiarity of increasing their power as they grow, without requiring any action. Dragons, Giants, and Griffins belong to this category.
They are a race that naturally gains power, either because of their size or powerful lineage.
