Ethan didn't hesitate.
The moment Talon's exhausted body began to drop toward the ocean, he reached through their connection and unsummoned the Griffin.
A flash of blue light vanished as it returned to him.
Then he felt it.
Power.
An immense, unfamiliar presence settled within him, its strength impossible to ignore even through the agony consuming his body.
Ethan's eyes widened.
'Holy shit.'
Talon had evolved into an A Rank beast, and now that power was connected to him.
He could feel the difference.
It was like standing beside a storm that had chosen to acknowledge him. The sheer strength of his newly evolved beast sent a thrill through his exhausted mind, and for a moment, he almost forgot that he was seconds away from drowning.
'An A-Rank Griffin...'
He couldn't wait to summon Talon again.
