Chapter 1541
Thrud knew that the seven hundred years old magic of the Golden Griffon couldn’t compare with the modern academies that were constantly updated nor did she have any idea how Royal Forgemasters achieved such a result.

Her method was crude and rough, but also very effective. With each bit of the power core that she destroyed and regenerated, Hystar could feel the lost academy growing stronger. New spells appeared in his mind and new abilities became available each day.

He had no need to study them since a living legacy mastered all the enchantments they were imbued with as if they were born with them. His joy would have been boundless if pain didn’t fill his mind already to the point that it was the only thing he could feel.

Suddenly, Thrud’s Forgemastering hammer fell to the ground and Hystar’s agony stopped. The entire Golden Griffon started to quake and rumble as the changes that she had made to the power core spread throughout the lost academy’s structure.

To achieve the full extent of its new power, the Golden Griffon assimilated part of the materials that the Mad Queen had brought from her travels with the same hunger of a famished man consuming a hot meal.
