A team that had been chasing her from the Greek border was gradually approaching her.
Walking in the deserted area, it was desolate everywhere. You might not see any green for most of the day. In this era, Asia Minor was still a barren land.
Following behind Sakura, a team consisting of several nymphs and a divine beast has been tracking Sakura for more than several months.
The team that abandoned their own duties and the responsibilities given to them by Gaia and followed Sakura to this desolate land had actually begun to lose their morale.
If it weren't for the stream nymph, Oriflame, that Sakura had met before, who persisted.
Perhaps the team had already dispersed when crossing the strait of Constantinople.
"Is the Pandora you mentioned, Orifley, really that important... Or should we go back first and wait for Pandora to return from this barren land, and then we can look for her..."
231. The miserable Griffin and the miserable Nymph.
As the spirit of Gaia, the embodiment of the beauty of nature.
It is understandable that the sisters are unwilling to continue tracking Orifree.
After all, she herself felt very uncomfortable with the desolation of Asia Minor.
She even wanted to back out several times, but every time Orifree wanted to listen to her sisters' advice and go back.
It wasn't just that Athena did something to her, but she also developed the so-called inner demon.
Whenever she wanted to retreat, the figure of Athena would appear in her mind, posing as if she was superior, pretending to be kind to her, and showing the so-called mercy of the gods.
And every time this happened, Orifree's thoughts of retreat would disappear completely.
In the end, it drove her to grit her teeth and persevere.
Looking at the nymphs who were backing down again, there was the Griffin, who had a lion's body and an eagle's head and was the prototype of the griffin in future fantasy stories.
It immediately blew out a puff of air from its nostrils with disdain, and then shook its huge eagle head, as if looking down on these nymphs.
Actually, it’s not the Griffin’s fault.
Invited by the nymphs from their own tribe, they traveled thousands of miles and endured hunger and finally arrived at this place.
As a result, several of these nymphs kept asking to go back.
How can Griffin look down on them?
If it weren't for Gaia's sake, Griffin, who was already very hungry at the moment, might have torn off some meat from these nymphs to taste.
"Stop talking, Ramsesis...we've already caught up with her!"
He glanced at his sister in front of him, a valley nymph with black hair and dark grey skin.
At this moment, Orifree had noticed Sakura's figure trying to climb up the hillside of a high mountain not far away. She then raised her hand and pointed at Sakura, who looked like a black dot the size of a sesame seed even from a nymph's perspective.
Seeing that they had caught up with the valley nymph named Ramsesis, they naturally did not say anything about going back.
Instead, together with Orifree, they looked at Sakura, who looked like a small black dot, with obvious malice beginning to appear on their faces.
Not only them, but the two forest nymphs accompanying them also showed the same expression.
It seems that this is the sign that the nymphs are entering combat mode.
However, compared to the Nymph, whose expression only changed, the Griffin next to her was obviously much braver and more ferocious.
The huge wings behind it suddenly created a hurricane-like force wind, blowing the four nymphs to dust before they could react.
Then, with a strange laugh mixed in with its roar, Griffin used its huge wings to rush into the sky. With the loud eagle cry, it pounced directly towards Sakura halfway up the mountain like a cannonball.
It was obvious that the griffin had had enough. It now only wanted to fulfill its agreement with the nymph as soon as possible, catch Sakura, and return to its own tribe.
The griffin was so huge, and before it pounced towards him, it let out a long cry as a warning.
At this moment, Sakura, who was standing on an almost 90-degree cliff and stepping on a protruding rock, naturally saw Griffin rushing towards her.
However, facing this divine beast, it is huge in size and has extremely sharp claws.
Sakura just curled her lips in disdain, then turned around and continued to climb facing the cliff.
The sharp eagle eyes naturally caught the disdain on Sakura's lips just now, and also caught Sakura's arrogant look of ignoring himself.
How could Griffin tolerate this?
Griffin flapped his wings behind him several times with all his strength, increasing his speed. He then moved his claws a little bit and aimed them at Sakura's body.
However, just as Griffin seemed to be able to see Sakura's limbs being torn to pieces by his own claws and she was howling in pain.
Griffin flew to within a hundred meters of the mountain and his expression suddenly changed.
Then it drew a curve and plunged directly into the mountain below Sakura.
The body weighs at least several tons, which is completely inconsistent with scientific body structure.
Griffin can fly not because of its wings, but because of the great source of magic in the atmosphere.
If Sakura could fly, then she wouldn't have to climb the mountain so hard. Wouldn't she be able to just teleport over?
However, this was simply impossible. Sakura had tried to use Teleport, but at a distance of a hundred meters, no matter how high Sakura flew, the mountain would grow that much higher. And within a hundred meters, it was as if there was a barrier around the mountain that prohibited flying. Sakura could not even use Teleport or the Levitation spell.
That's why Sakura climbed the mountain so obediently and completely ignored Griffin's attack on her.
The result was exactly as Sakura expected.
Griffin dived into the mountains, and as expected, she lost her ability to fly after approaching the mountain by a hundred meters. Then, like a cannonball exhausted from exhaustion, she crashed into the mountain below her, causing a tragic air crash.
Plunging headfirst into the mountain at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, even Griffin, whose body was as hard as iron, felt very uncomfortable at this moment, or it could be said that it was actually almost dead.
Many bones in the body were broken, and the sharp claws hooked on the cliff were about to break.
A large number of feathers like scales fell off its body, and bright red blood continued to flow out of its cracked skull...
Griffin, who was almost fainting, was now relying entirely on his willpower to hold himself back from falling and being smashed into a pulp.
The four nymphs who were rushing towards the mountains at this time naturally witnessed the tragic scene happening to Griffin.
Since they were still quite some distance away from the mountain, they had no idea how strange this mountain that Athena had brought was.
Several nymphs who mistakenly thought that Griffin's plight was caused by Sakura timidly stopped and looked at Orifree who had told them that Sakura was just a mortal with some abilities.
Nymphs are not the kind of people who like to fight or be shy. If it weren't for the strong invitation of Oriflame and the fact that these nymphs also hate those iron lumps in Olympus, these nymphs would never appear in such a place in their lives.
Facing the gazes of her sisters, Orifree showed a hint of shyness on her face and couldn't help but stop like her sisters.
Then, Orifree, who didn't dare to face the gazes of these nymphs, immediately used her power to summon two streams of water, one flew towards Sakura and the other flew towards Griffin.
It seems that Orifree is not sure now whether Sakura played herself before.
However, it is impossible to fly near the mountains.
This is true even for springs driven by power.
Just as the spring water entered the range of 100 meters around the mountain, the spring water controlled by these two forces fell directly to the ground.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a melancholy expression appeared on his face.
"Sisters, I am not mistaken. Pandora is just a mortal. But the mountain in front of us is the Cursed Mountain..."
232, Athena takes action again to avenge Sakura's arrow.
What is Cursed Mountain?
In fact, he is just a fun-loving person among the gods, and his purpose is to have fun.
One of the strange terrains deliberately created to trick mortals for fun.
Of course, this kind of thing has different names in different groups.
In the eyes of these rebels who hated the gods of Olympus, this type of terrain was naturally given the name of a curse, and was called - Curse XX...
"Is it another disgusting thing made by those iron lumps? But Oriflame, didn't you say that the mortal might be the product of the conspiracy of those iron lumps? Then why did the gods use the Cursed Mountain to block her progress?"
As fellow gods, after approaching a certain distance, they could sense the traces of Athena's power left on the mountains, and these naturally born secondary gods could still recognize them.
"Maybe those idiots knew we were tracking her, so they deliberately moved to this mountain to help her deal with us?"
"Okay, Oriflame, Ramses, whatever it is, the most important thing is to rescue Griffin first."
There seemed to be signs that Ramses and Oriflame were going to argue again.
The forest nymph nearby immediately persuaded the two to stop and pointed at Griffin who was about to give up.
Griffin was desperate.
Its sharp eagle eyes are enough to help it clearly see everything within dozens of kilometers.
Therefore, Griffin knew that he could not count on those nymphs who kept walking and stopping and had not yet reached the foot of the mountain after a long time.
Especially since Sakura had just landed on its head from above.
Griffin stared at Sakura fiercely. As the blood kept flowing, he became weaker and weaker. The cracks on his claws were gradually getting bigger. It seemed that he had seen the scene of being pushed off the cliff by a mortal like Sakura and smashed into a pulp.
However, little did Sakura know that she was not there to kill it.
Sakura, who is familiar with mythological stories, knows that Griffin is a mythical beast that combines ferocity and bravery. Although it is difficult to tame, once the demigod heroes in mythology tame it, Griffin will be loyal to Sakura.
Although she is not a demigod hero, she still wants to try whether she can tame this beast which is unruly before taming but loyal after taming.
And what a good opportunity this is. Griffin, who has been hit so hard, poses almost no threat to him.
Even if it is not possible to tame it successfully, at most it will just be a waste of energy, and in return you will get a specimen of a mythical beast.
Just as Sakura came to Griffin's head, took out the low-quality magic wand that she had made temporarily after arriving in Greece, and used the golden belt given to her by the God of Fire Hephaestus to cast the Traceless Extension Spell on it.
When the nymphs who were rushing to the foot of the mountain saw Sakura falling on Griffin's head, they all showed sad looks.
It seemed as if they were certain that Sakura would kill Griffin.
He grabbed a corner of the golden belt and threw it over the head of Griffin, who had a fierce look in his eyes and was wailing.
Sakura used the golden belt to whip Griffin, who was seriously injured and had no magic power left in his body. The injured giant beast was directly caught by Sakura's temporary modified belt.
After temporarily putting Griffin away, Sakura knew that Griffin's injuries would not last long. If she wanted to tame Griffin, she'd better hurry up and help it stabilize its injuries. Then she turned her attention to the several nymphs that were approaching the foot of the mountain.
When he saw the familiar blue figure, the stream nymph Oreflei who had gotten herself into a rather embarrassing state not long ago.
Xiaoying immediately understood why she was so lucky to "pick up" a Griffin.
Sakura, who was not polite at all and 'did not bear grudges', saw Orifle in the nymphaeum at the foot of the mountain.
She raised her magic wand and immediately, without hesitation, began to cast her magic on the nymphs below.
Although modern magic has almost no effect on minor gods like nymphs.
But...who says magic has to be used to hit people?
Thunder and explosions were mixed in with various simple magic tricks.
It hit the ground at Nymph's feet accurately, causing deafening explosions.
Then the scattered gravel soon hit the nymphs and made them scream.
Of course, the sand and gravel splashed by the explosion were still unable to break through the nymph's seemingly delicate skin.
However, compared to attacking them directly with magic, which didn't even make them feel anything, the flying debris was at least enough to hurt them.
Nymphs are nymphs after all. As the embodiment of natural beauty, the love of beauty is ingrained in the nature of most nymphs.
Although he was covered in dust after being blasted by Sakura, he was not injured.
But except for Oriflame, the other three nymphs instinctively chose to retreat, as if they were planning to find a place to tidy up their dusty appearance.
Although Orifree was still gritting her teeth and holding on, her wavering eyes already indicated that she could not hold on for much longer.
Just when Sakura happily used the obstacle that Athena moved away, she breathed a sigh of relief and avenged her defeat.
At this time, Athena returned to the seaside where Sakura once tried to build a ship.
Thetis, looking tired, walked out of the sea holding a dark red helmet in her hand.
When she saw Athena who had been waiting for her on the beach for a long time, a maternal smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. She endured the fatigue of running around during this period of time, and handed the borrowed treasure in her hand to Athena without hesitation.
I looked at the helmet-shaped, invisible stance device that Thetis was holding.
Athena's eyes flashed with joy, then she put on a cautious look and carefully took it from Thetis.
