Chapter 227 Vesemir couldn't understand, but he was shocked
"Aylin!"

In the howling wind caused by the big griffin, Mary suddenly stood up from the grass.

She looked in horror at the young witcher who was hanging on one of the griffin's claws, swaying and looking like he might fall at any moment.

My heart was pounding and instantly jumped up to my throat.

She didn't understand what Ailin was thinking?
Considering the injuries on the griffin, it was far from being in danger of death or exhausted. Even if Ailin seized the opportunity to follow it into the sky, what would be the use?
The sky is the territory of flying monsters, and he can't fly.

Could it be possible that with his experience in aerial combat, he could surpass the giant griffin?
and.

Ashery's Water Shield and Quen's Sign don't have the effect of offsetting falling damage...

Once... once you fall from a high altitude, the consequences...

Thinking of this, Mary's face turned pale instantly. She was so worried that she didn't care about her own safety and ran towards Vesemir.

"If I had known I would encounter this, I should have spent more time on gliding," Mary blamed herself.

Vesemir was also shocked when he saw this scene.

For a moment, he thought Ailin was crazy.

Humans belong to the earth, and the griffins belong to the sky.

No matter how difficult it is to deal with monsters flying in the sky on the ground, it is better than following the monsters into the sky.

But it was different from Mary, who had always heard about it from hearsay and was fighting with Aelin for the first time.

Vesemir had fought alongside Arryn many times.

So after a short period of confusion and worry, I inexplicably felt some anticipation for Ailin's next battle.

"Violent——"

When the big griffin first saw the witcher clinging to its claws, it tilted its head and widened its dark eagle eyes.

It was the first time it encountered prey that was being driven to die like this.

But the next second, a stinging pain came from the claws.

The frightened griffin flew into the sky and used its other claw to pounce on Ailin who was floating below it.

"call--"

The wind howled in my ears.

Everything around was shaking violently.

Ailin was suspended in the air ten meters high, his left hand firmly grasping the base of the outermost claw of the great griffin's right paw, and his right hand tightly holding Elsa.

While the big griffin hadn't reacted yet, he swung his right leg, causing the center of his body to rise suddenly.

When half of the body is pulled up onto the claws.

The azure pupils instantly dilated, finding the position between the finger bones.

prick!
Blood spurted out from Elsa's blood trough like red threads.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 91%
"Violent——"

The cry that seemed to pierce the eardrums came from above again.

The more violent shaking, coupled with the constant attacks from the griffin's left claw, made Ailin feel like a small boat in the stormy sea.

You may be attacked and thrown away at any time.

but.

The young witcher relied on Elsa inserted into the surface of the claws to stand firmly on the griffin's less than one square meter area, shakily.

Saw this scene.

Not only Vesemir and Mary, who were chasing the griffin on the ground, were worried.

Even the big griffin, which has a low IQ, found it a little outrageous.

“Thanks to Brett for the Cat School two-handed sword.” Ailin thought.

In terms of body balance, apprentices of the cat school are trained to walk on thin ropes from a young age.

Ailin, who upgraded his cat-school two-handed sword to level 5, remained as steady as a real wild cat even as he kept jumping on the palm-sized rough terrain.

This is also the reason why he dared to catch up.

of course.

In fact, he had to catch up.

The duration of the demon hunting state is less than half a minute.

It's hard to even accumulate enough progress.

Once the big griffin flies into the sky, it will definitely not be able to recharge before the demon hunting state ends.

At that time, all the progress will be cleared and they will have to start all over again, which would be a waste of all the dangerous efforts of Arryn and Vesemir over such a long time.

and.

If the griffin attacks like in the game, it would dive continuously, fly high into the sky, and then dive again... this is the attack method.

It is impossible to fully accumulate Demon Hunting progress under such an attack situation.

This is true even if you level up two more times.

In addition, it is close to the city and the terrain is flat, so there is nowhere to hide.

Who knows, they might really fail in this place.

"Violent——"

Ignore the panicked shouting in your ear.

By this time, Ailin was already familiar with the rhythm of the griffin's shaking.

"Pfft~"

The sharp blade was pulled out, bringing out a lot of blood.

Standing on the trembling blood-red claws, Ailin didn't choose a place, and casually chopped the muscular thigh of the big griffin with two silver lights.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 92%
[Demon Hunting] Progress 93%
Because it was done casually, each sword only increased the progress by 1%.

Very reasonable.

But Aelin didn't care.

After swiftly dodging the griffin's left claw, he continued to use this attack method to trim the griffin's claws.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 94%
[Demon Hunting] Progress 96%
……

[Demon Hunting] Progress 98%
"Violent——"

The great griffin roared angrily.

It doesn't know why the ant on its claws is so difficult to catch?

I don't even know why he is so obsessed with the dead skin on his claws that will soon recover?
in fact.

It shouldn't care about these minor wounds.

Just like a lion doesn't care which hair the louse is burrowing next to.

It just ignored him and flew high into the sky.

It doesn't even have to take action, the prey will be frozen to death by the biting cold wind.

This is what it has done over the years when faced with prey that has a hard shell or is difficult to deal with.

But now...

The big griffin didn't dare to delay any longer.

The inexplicable fear that came from nowhere stretched out its cold hands and pinched its heart, scaring it so much that it screamed heart-wrenchingly.

The beast's instincts and the favor of magic were constantly warning it.

then.

The great griffin no longer flew upwards.

It suddenly lowered its eagle head and flapped its wings wildly towards the ground.

Rushing towards the ground at high speed.

He wanted to smash this strange and terrifying monster in his claws to the ground!

We were already a hundred meters high, falling at full speed and crashing into the ground.

The great griffon would be slightly injured, but Arryn would surely die.

Unfortunately……

There was a flash of silver light in the air.

"Pfft~"

[Demon Hunting] Progress 100%
The whistling wind stopped!
In the almost still time, Ailin looked calmly at the grass that was rapidly expanding before his eyes.

And Mary, who was stopped by Vesemir on the grass, was like a little madman, shedding tears of fear and shouting frantically "Erin! Erin!..."

I don't know what I was thinking about.

Ailin looked away.

Blood-red footprints and sword marks float in the sky.

He stepped lightly on the griffin's claws and flew into the air.

Without any thoughts, I rotate in a circle following my body's instinct.

The silver blade hit the griffin's right leg hard.

"This is a huge wound that can increase demon hunting progress by 20%..."

A boring thought flashed through Ailin's mind.

The force of the blow pushed him away from the griffin and toward the ground.

The distance between the two is getting farther and farther, and it seems that they will never meet again.

But the next moment.

The sudden pain reached the big griffin's brain, and its body twitched instinctively.

A flap of wings.

As the wind direction changed, the broad back of the great griffin suddenly appeared in front of Ailin.

He stepped down lightly.

It just stepped on the bloody footprint in the middle of the wings.

then.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Following the bloody footprints, a dozen steps later, the eagle head of the great griffin appeared. Ailin took a deep breath.

He stepped forward with his right foot, spun around twice, and chopped down!
Spin and slash!
The sword has not yet fallen.

"Violent——"

The big griffin seemed to suddenly sense something, raised its head and let out a tragic cry.

follow closely.

"Pfft~"

Silver light flashed.

The head and the head separated in an instant.

The scarlet blood splashed in the air, as if it was raining blood.

"Ding."

[Defeat the monster "Giant Griffin"! ]

[Rewards settlement: …]

After exiting the demon hunting state, Ailin ignored the system prompt in his mind, grabbed the bloody griffin head with one hand, and glanced down.

The ground quickly enlarged before my eyes.

At this speed, he would surely die even with a large griffin under him.

However, Ailin was not afraid at all and launched [Demon Hunt] again.

Then he looked at Vesemir who was chasing the griffin on the ground and shouted:

"Alder Seal!"

"Alder Seal!"

Then, the mental force quickly influenced the Demon Hunter Master to activate all the magic power in the mutated organ.

Then he bent the middle finger of his right hand and pointed it sharply in the direction of the griffin.

"Boom!"

The air between the two people quickly twisted.

next second.

The griffin's falling speed suddenly slowed down.

but.

Before it could roll over due to uneven force, it slammed into the ground.

"boom!"

The loud noise was deafening.

Large clumps of yellow-brown dust were knocked off the ground and blown away in all directions.

Outsiders cannot see clearly what is happening inside.

"Aylin!"

"Aylin!"

Before the smoke cleared, anxious shouts quickly approached the crash site.

Vesemir watched Mary run wildly into the smoke without trying to stop her.

He saw clearly that when the big griffin was flying in the air, Arin chopped off its head as if by some mysterious force.

So there would be no danger for Mary to rush in at this time.

As for whether Ailin himself was injured...

Vesemir shook his head in amazement:
"Alder...it's amazing that he could come up with this idea."

He tried his best to use Alder's telekinetic waves to slow down the griffin, and he also had Aseri's water shield and Quinn.

As long as Ailin is not pinned down, he won't be seriously injured.

of course.

He was also a little worried.

but……

There are times and places.

What a boy needs is a hug from a sweet-smelling girl, not the care from an equally dirty uncle.

Vesemir curled the corners of his mouth and watched the smoke gradually dissipate in front of him. A picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

"How did he determine the reaction of the great griffin?"

Vesemir frowned in thought.

He could see it clearly from below.

When Ailin chopped the big griffin's right leg, he was clearly pushed away by the reaction force.

The next thing would be for both of them to fall to the ground.

He was so scared that cold sweat broke out instantly, and Mary almost fainted.

But the big griffin flapped its wings and forced its neck under Arryn's sword.

This operation...

Vesemir couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.

And the more I think about it, the more I find its charm endless and I benefit a lot from it.

"How did you do it?"

He murmured and asked himself again.

Defense is ignored because the Demon Hunter's Eye can see the direction of magic power.

But before you chop it, you can predict the monster's movement trajectory after it is damaged...

Is this swordplay? Magic? Prophecy? Or is it just another use of the Demon Hunter's Eye?
At this time.

The dim smoke gradually dissipated.

Next to the huge headless body of the great griffin.

The young demon hunter with two swords on his back was grabbing a head half as tall as a man, with a look of astonishment on his face. He was hugged tightly by a girl with long hair, at a loss.

"Tsk tsk~"

Watching this scene with his arms folded, Vesemir smacked his lips, smiled and sighed:
"It's great to be young!"

……

[Defeat the monster "Giant Griffin" Lv84! ]

[Rewards: Defeat the enemy, basic rating D, kill above the enemy level +3-C, decapitation deterrence +3-B]

[Obtained loot: Great Griffin Heart Essence*1, Experience Beads*9, Great Griffin Treasure Chest*4]

[Ding! Hunting mission: Great Griffin I (Kill Great Griffin 0/5) has been activated, do you want to accept it? ]

The familiar bell for the end of get out of class was ringing in my mind, and I was holding my wet head in my right hand.

The tip of my nose was filled with the fresh scent of orange and the warmth through the leather armor.

The heart, which had been beating violently due to the thrill of dancing on the tip of a knife and the joy of successfully hunting a monster, suddenly calmed down at the smell and temperature.

"Can we all get this kind of treatment when we settle rewards in the future?"

A strange idea suddenly popped up in Ailin's mind, and he took the task.

Mary stepped back.

Those big watery eyes were really watery this time.

Two dirty tear marks flowed on the fair little face.

Somewhat funny, and some cute.

"How dare you do this?" Mary cried, puffing up her cheeks and shouting fiercely, "You almost died, do you know that?"

"I...I am not dead, am I?"

Ailin turned his head away, feeling inexplicably guilty.

but.

Although this time he was indeed a bit risky, the danger was actually under his control.

"You still said that!!!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more!"

Feeling that Mary was about to bite him in anger, Aelin immediately surrendered.

"Next...next time, don't take such risks. If something unexpected happens, I..." Mary realized something was wrong, paused, and changed her words, "Ms. Vera will be so sad!"

Ailin also has emotional intelligence.

Of course I won't force myself to explain at this time.

"I see," he nodded with a smile, "Thank you for caring about me."

"Who cares about you!" Mary froze for a moment, blushing as she hurriedly took back her hands from the witcher. "I'm just teaching you a lesson on behalf of Ms. Vera!"

"Okay, okay~"

Ailin smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"You are teaching me a lesson for Ms. Vera. Don't worry, I will pay attention next time!"

do not know why.

Mary felt uncomfortable when she heard Ailin admit what she said.

but.

Just as she was about to say a few more words, a middle-aged man walking on the avenue not far away attracted their attention.

As the man approached, he looked in Arryn's direction with some hesitation, but finally walked towards Vesemir.

"Excuse me, did you kill this monster?"

After Vesemir looked at the middle-aged man, he did not answer directly, but asked:
"You are?"

The middle-aged man realized that he had not yet reported his name.

"Sorry," he smiled apologetically and said:
"My name is Dieter, Dieter from Toussaint..."
