Chapter 88.2. Griffons Don’t Just Fly
The wind blades flew in front of Guu-chan as it kicked the trunk and moved to the next trunk. However, I brought Guu-chan to a stop in mid-air and made it head for the other trunk.
That’s what I mean. In all the fantasies I’ve seen so far, the griffon has existed as the king of the sky. But a griffon, without lion’s teeth and with its large body, is not as fast as an eagle, so it is not the king of the sky.
On the other hand, how about on the ground? The lion’s fangs are gone, and the eagle’s wings are just in the way. Whether in the sky or on land, a griffon has only disadvantages. They look cool, but that’s all they are, griffons. Then I wondered where their original merit lies.
Griffons can fly through the trees with their instantaneous power as a lion, and even if you can read their trajectory, they can change course with the flight of an eagle, and it’s in forests like this that the griffon’s abilities come into play. You are clever, Mii-chan! Eh, ahem.
“You’re used to fighting, ain’t you?”
“I trained with an old man at an oden shop!”
Tehehe, embarrassed, I tell him as I move between the trees. I was training for a surprise.
Warily, Zephyrus moves through the air, trying to get a hold of the position where Guu-chan jumps. I see Guu-chan moving a little further away, kicking the trees and trying to aim and shoot with my magic wand.
Now!
Seeing Zephyrus move to the desired location, I quietly jump down from my hiding place in the branches directly above.
[Brain Shaker]
I swing the wine bottle down and launch another harassing martial art.
“What!”
But Zephyrus quickly defends me with his hands as I fall. The deployable shield attached to his hands is instantly assembled with a clank and catches my martial art.
I thought I had succeeded, but what a reaction time!
Because of the defensive action, the [Brain Shaker] loses its effect, and the wine bottle breaks with a crack. Even though martial arts gives the effect without question. If it’s blocked by a shield, will it be ineffective? It looks like it gets treated as if the martial art is removed.
“Kuku! Mii-chan punch!”
Throwing the broken wine bottle, she spins around in mid-air, grabs her hand, and punches.
“Hahaha!”
[Gale Fist]
But Zephyrus chuckles, and when he decides he is too close with [Zephyrus’s Feather Broom], he puts it away in his hand, and with the speed of a gale, with the wind in his arms, he unleashes his fist before my punch hits.
“Gahh!”
Zephyrus slams his fist into the petite Mii-chan’s stomach. I can feel the metal of his hands, and a sharp pain as oxygen gets expelled from my lungs.
“What! Mii-chan kick!”
I grab Zephyrus’s arm as if it were an iron bar, and as I’m about to fall to the ground, I spin around and kick at the opponent’s head.
But this time, Zephyrus did not even try to block it. My kick hits the green, heavily armored helmet, but it is bounced away with a clang.
“Ha ha!”
Zephyrus, who took no damage at all, grabs me by the neck, lifts me, and laughs.
“You’re just a kid. You thought that with your muscle power strengthened by magic power. You could break an iron? But magic armor has a hardness that can’t get compared to most metals. There are multiple defensive magics deployed. Especially the only special!”
“Mi-chan punch!”
I strike Zephyrus’ arm, even as he grabbed my neck. But it only made a light metallic sound and didn’t even jerk. Too hard, this metal.
“And this is made of sky adamantine, which is adamantine with wind magic to make it light and hard. You’ve wasted your footsteps.”
Zephyrus puts all his strength into it, trying to tighten his neck. The HP on the status board is rapidly dwindling. In less than a few minutes, his HP will be zero.
I can hardly breathe. I can almost see the face of Zephyrus laughing through the helmet. In this world where you can’t load. If Mii-chan continues like this, it will be game over.
“I have a good fighting sense, but my skill isn’t much, and I don’t have any combat experience, so I guess I’m out of luck.”
Zephyrus makes fun of me, saying that it was a fleeting resistance. I thought the wine bottle attack was good. But it’s a little early to be making fun of me.
“Hmph, hmph. Underestimating your prey is the Japanese way…..”
“An? What?”
Zephyrus, showing a bit of leeway, spits out a teasing word. But this situation is what I was after.
“It means the Martians have shown an opening! You underestimated the wisdom of the Earthlings!”
“What! Whoa, those eyes!”
Miu’s eyes glinted ferociously, and she grabbed Zephyrus’ arm. Zephyrus is astonished by Miu’s unexpected action. He immediately tries to put all his strength into the hand that grabbed my neck, but it’s too late.
[Triangle Attack]
The griffon was clad in wind and approaching at high speed, kicking the trees. With his beak like the tip of a spear, and his body glowing with green mana, he rushed towards the body of Zephyrus, who had his back turned.
