Chapter 72 King of Griffins (2)
While being looked down at froht hand htly
How should I pull theround?
While I was thinking that, before I could coe plan, one of the Griffins cas It looked very heroic as it stood there
I have seen the Dragon King Fafnir up close A dragon, that is considered one of the strongest life for this Griffin which was on, was it because I ariffin to be looking really cool?
As it landed on the ground with a heavy sound, it calmly stared towards me
“——Wha”
[H looked down on Renji]
Froaze I didn’t even feel any sort of ani killed its coed my presence, as a fodder, as its prey, I stood here
It didn’t even consider me as a threat let alone a worthy ene fodder That’s what its gaze seemed to imply to me
Not that I can actually read its thought but that’s what it felt like But Ermenhilde seemed to have sensed that as well because in her voice, I could clearly sense a slight irritation and definite anger Seeing such a reaction from my partner, it instead made me more calm
“now then,”
The other one was still in the sky Does it intend to remain there? Or will it support it from the skies? In either case, what I have to do is already decided
It’s gaze was still fixed at me and had not yet noticed Ms Francesca and the others Then, I’ll have it struggle around as much as I can So that my comrades can move and act easily
“I’onna start, Ermenhilde”
[yeah, go for it]
In a straight line, I headed towards the Griffin As soon as I was in range, I swung down the mithril sword on it Griffin didn’t move at all It continued to look down attowards its defenceless body——-but just before the sword could reach it, it jue body back in an unbelievable speed and e it
Before round, I took another step forward and swung the sword back up towards it This tihtly and its hair flew in the air
Under the blue sky, its light brown hair fluttered Without looking at that for even a second, I stabbed reat
But before that attack could reach, the griffin turned away even faster to avoid that attack ai I knew, I flew in the air An i why, I flew in the air, and the next instant I fell to the ground
While rolling down on the ground, I confiriant wings, and with the
I had been bloay from just that……as usual, a demonic beast’s power, its physical ability, is truly uess it is an actualsome distance fro died
[It’s co!]
The instant I heard Erround I was standing on before was torn apart After a slight delay, the wind blew ly
A blade of wind You could call it a kalance I confirmed where Aya, Mururu, Ms Francesca and Feirona were For the ti them into this as well Well, Feirona and ms Francesca are on top of trees and Mururu has Aya beside her If its Aya, she should be able to defend against such an a attack easily
Drawing one of the daggers from my waist, I threw it at it Even without concentration, I could hit suchabig target easily
But even though it headed towards the griffin, midway itWard] A barrier of wind that could easily avert such light throeapons Witnessing that barrier once ue Seriously, what a troublesome barrier
“return!”
I was surprised the first tiht and deal with it, it’s not surprising anyer reacted to riffin froriffin from front
It must have come to the conclusion that the barrier would take care of the dagger as it ai to attack me, I made a horizontal slash to face it The mithril sword clashed with its claws as sparks flew But the iht arm went nu backwards Clicking th it possessed, with er that fleards me which had been unable to penetrate the barrier as expected Ju some distance between us, I took a stance with the er in my left It was an impromptu tord stance but, seriously, what should I do next?
If I could use s I could do but there’s a limit with just a sword Now I have felt this countless tie the fact that ic andsuch ait was really difficult
[What are you going to do now?]
“What should I do indeed”
At the same time, a blade of as released as it headed towardsthe earth I can’t see it directly but since I could see its path as it gouged the earth, I could dodge it without much difficulty
Jue of the wind blade, I once more rushed towards the Griffin and pointedirritated ofmore fierce But that also meant that every attack became cruder as well
Foreliic I averted, received and dodged all of those
This is troublesohed within my mind As expected, when it’s not a surprise attack, it’s difficult to take it down instantly I realized that her as well
While I was in such thoughts, a sudden iain, I quickly looked towards the sky The one griffin that had re doards ic that blewhead as I stood up
“Where’s ms Francesca?”
[Still atop the tree]
Then, it’s fine It’s about time I have her do some work as well
After the last attack, both of the griffin’s awareness was concentrated onelse right noent through quite a bit of pain but finally I have both of their attention While gazing at the two griffins sioblin corpses
Like this, at least one of them can be taken doith an ariffin and I ariffin’s heart though But frooblins, she can use ic to create a blade of ice or rock as well so she should be able to handle that
I a that on’t be able to do anything Breathing out, I resolved myself Let us have some faith in her
“Ermenhilde Tell Aya and others to take down the one in the sky as soon as Ms Francesca takes action”
[Got it]
Really, at such tiriffins can understand huet curious of who else was here if I shouted so out
While being cautious of the griffins, I retreated and reached the corpse mountain at exactly the same ti a deep breath, I s I took a deep breath to cal, I loosened upstiff from tension
“Well then, let’s do this”
[Yeah The hunt has just begun, let’s hurry this up]
Hearing her, I pointed un to drool
“Come and eat me if you think you can Don’t cry when you wreck your stoh”
When that happens, I’ll stab you to death from the inside
Muttering that in low voice, I ran And predicting as I felt a slight wind behind e the wind blade I felt the strong wind pass by and saw the tree behindfrom that attack, I jumped in towards its bosoer to stop the swing froht forelimb made to drive me away
Even if h to pierce its skin, all I have to do is use its oer against it The dagger stabbed into its leg and I felt a wet and warm sensation on my left arm The next instant, I was bloay froain? Such a though came to me for a second Bloay like a pebble, for the Nth tiht underneath the tree in which Ms Francesca was hiding
Seeing it all go as planned, even though in pain, I ended up sround, I gave a glance upwards in the tree to see Ms Francesca look at me worriedly Also, since she was in a skirt I think I saw sonore that
“Ah, that hurt”
[Obviously Even when knowing it’d hurt thathow you still can decide to act as bait anyway]
“used to it I’et used to it”
[yet I feel that avoiding painful things is what h]
