Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 257 The Noble Glindorine

The limo passed through the portal, landing on the island's sandy shores.

Vrmm!

Raulin did another drift, causing a wave of sand to fly away from the tires.

Screeve.

The vehicle finally stopped moving.

They had made it to the academy grounds, though they were too far away from their destination.

The island was several times bigger than its original purchased size.

It expanded not only in height but in width too.

The sky was dark, and the stars shone brightly.

Everyone stepped out of the vehicle. And Dorian left a talisman on it.

Be wouldn't be surprised if the creatures in the academy's land and waters try anything funny with his limo.

The several miles of 'ocean waters' around the island had long been isolated, becoming Academy property.

So the creatures in the waters have also begun to change bit by bit.

Dorian didn't know how the system worked things out, but it seemed that rain, sun, winter, and seasonal changes would still be experienced within the Academy.

Well, that was up to the system to control.

Provided his academy was in a space of its own, then what's his business?

.

With everyone out of the vehicle, they began dashing across the land!

Din. Din. Din. Din~

Dorian ran at a place they could keep up with.

Up the trees, down the deep canals, up the rocky mouth aims, through the giant flowers, around the snake waterfall, down the cliffs and valleys, running along the streams... Their journey was quite adventurous.

With how high some of these cliffs were, if one fell, it was immediate death.

There were secret caves, tunnels, stony mythical-like steps to what seemed like heaven, and even bridges suspended too high.

The deep canyons that looked like bottomless pits below, Also had a constant layer of fog at their bottom, making one too curious about what could be down there.

The canyon was too vast, spanning for miles and miles.

But maybe what could make many dizzy were the strange animal sounds from below.

The academy was indeed a wonder.

And even Bewoh and the rest have never been able to see everything in hand.

It was just too big a place.

Time moved rapidly.

And more than 4 and a half hours later of running through this crazy terrain nonstop, they finally reached their destination.

Phew.

If they were mortal, it would definitely take days, weeks, and months if lost.

But at the 1st Dan, they could do it in 4 and a half hours.

Heck!

Even mountain climbers spend up to a day climbing sky-high structures like these.

And that was guys for climbing one.

One had to climb mountains, descend ravines, wall on thin bridges in the sky that gave the illusion of them floating, descend more, pass through the many complex forest terrains, and so on.

Dorian was the master of the academy. So no matter what his strength was, he would be able to appear in any place he wanted.

But for the rest, they would have to build their strength to move fast, as they wanted.

This academy was not for the faint-hearted.

.

Bam!

The gang landed at the perimeters of the forbidden forest.

And already, Bewoh and the rest had their guard up.

~Groouuu~

The faint sounds of creatures within whispered in their ears.

One step forward, another step forward.

Backs arched, hands at a vigilant stance, eyes darting about side to side, up and down.

The beastly sounds heightened their senses.

They smelt, heard, saw, and felt things they wouldn't even with their 1st Dan strength.

Everyone had a talisman paper in their hands while following the Grandmaster.

15 minutes more, and the forbidden forest grew darker and darker.

The more they advanced, the more sky the trees converted and towered the scene.

There was little to no moonlight coming in.

And if not for Zhulyn, Haru would've fallen to what seemed like 17 stories below.

Crazy!

Haru held his chest, breathing severally.

'Note to self. Never come to the forbidden forest unprepared.

Flick.

Dorian created a bluish illuminating their path.

But though such a move would make them the target for many predators, it was better than having them fall into holes and pits.

Raulin, who had been here in the daytime, was too shocked by how different the place seemed at night.

At least in the day though the trees still covered most of the sun, the place was still somewhat illuminated.

But now, it was pitch black, apart from a few plants that began illuminating at night.

Gulp.

Everyone felt their throats constrict.

No matter what, the students can not be allowed in here!

It was hard to believe that this was only the beginning stages of the forbidden forest. Meaning its danger level was still on the rise.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

The gang dealt with several feisty creatures with the help of Dorian.

Beasts generally grew stronger and faster once they broke off their mortal selves.

And at present, these creatures have the strength of a cultivator in the 1st and 2nd.

For those stranger than Bewoh and the rest, Dorian handled them Nicely.

Bang!

He sent the blue spider away. The sooner had managed to grow to be the size of a 5-6-year-old child.

Dorian frowned. He only wanted to see what creatures had grown so far.

But this... This was too annoying.

Whoosh!

He released a bit of his aura, making no creature dare come their way.

Wasn't that suicide?

.

-Silence-

The gang proceeds ahead for a long time until they come around a place that Chan-ki recognized. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Eh?

'Isn't this the waterfall site where the choppers landed back then? How come it has changed so much?'

This was probably one of the only few aces in the forbidden forest that well well illuminated by the moonlight.

Before the gang was a powerful waterfall and open lake surrounded by sandy shores and many forest trees.

The waterfall had changed, growing sky high too.

Before arriving, Dorian had withdrawn his aura.

And sure enough, he heard a mighty outcry that he was familiar with.

~Gawk! Gawk! Gawk!

Powerful!

It seems far away. Yet, its cries were enough to cause ripples on the water.

The sound was eerie and caused not just the creatures but Bewoh and the rest to have goosebumps.

They could feel its strength was mightier than theirs.

What sort of creature was this?

"Grandmaster, that's it! That's the sound of the creature I saw!" Raulin confirmed.

How could he forget his nightmare from earlier?

Dorian squinted his eyes, looking at the sky-high pink waterfall before them.

Sure enough, there's a cave somewhere behind these waterfalls.

Flick.

Dorian created a white cloud.

"Get on. We're going up."

"Right!"

No time to waste.

Dorian flew them several feet up.

And soon, they passed through the falling waterfall.

A giant cave?

~Gawk!!!!!!!~

The creature's call confirmed they were on the right track.

Everyone stepped out of the blood and stared at their surroundings.

How can there be another deadly canyon in this cave?

Look down; all they saw were bottomless pits of darkness.

Look up; they still couldn't see the top.

But not to worry because before them were still several elevated structures... Though they would need to run and jump to get onto each one.

Wherever these structures led to, they had no clue.

No mortal could make these jumps.

But with their strengths, it should be alright.

1, 2, 3.

Dorian jumped from place to place, barely touching the ground.

Everyone else stared at the scene, feeling that the Grandmaster was bullying too much.

(:Y^Y:)

Haru stabilized himself after landing, feeling helpless.

Sigh...

When will he be able to look so cool and effortless?

The gang jumped carefully across the site while being illuminated by Dorian's blue light that looked like a firefly.

And after many hops and leaps, they saw a giant opening on the far end.

There!

The creative must be in there!

How much is this place?

They passed through the opening, coming face to face with a massive leveled plane within the cave.

And the blue glowy algae on its walls and floor only made it look more mythical.

So beautiful!

Everyone deeply appreciated the sight before them only briefly.

Why?

Because they had finally found the beast they were looking for.

~GAWK!!!!!!!

Everyone was paralyzed on the spot.

Giant!

The feathery creature was gigantic.

Its beak was silver, and its features were a mix of fiery gold, blue, and silver.

It was like nothing they had ever seen before.

What sort of bird had 4 legs and 2 wings?

A Glindorine!

It was a companion that Dorian and many cultivators in his past world wanted to tame.

Its current appearance was just the beginning phase.

As it grows stronger, it will be more refined, elegant, and mightier.

It and the noble Phoenix were on par with one another.

But the birth of a Glindorine was rare and had to do with its bloodline.

Dorian stared at the angered beast with a playful smile on his face.

So for how badly has he always wanted it…

Heh.

"Stand back."

This beast was his to tame!
