"Kiao!"
That was the sound of a bird of prey, the ruler of the sky roared in anger, its sharp eyes like knives staring straight down at the small human who seemed oblivious to death!
The ruler of the sky had large wings big enough to cover the sky, its head resembled an eagle but it had a strong body like a fierce lion. There was no odd mismatch, instead, it seemed naturally born that way, harmonious and more majestic!
However, this king was now almost bursting its lungs with rage!
Because it had been provoked by a human!
"So this is a Griffin?"
Seeing the Griffin preparing to dive for an attack, Ethan sneered.
Because he used the Taunt skill, the Griffin now had almost full aggro, and perhaps in the next second, it would dive and attack Ethan's head with its sharp beak.
And the monsters here weren't just Griffins!
"Unbelievable! After so long, human adventurers have finally come! And they even dare to challenge me and the Griffin together! Fine! Let me, the Manticore, tear you apart!"
That wasn't a human voice, but a monster's!
And it was a monster with a disgusting body like a hybrid creature!
It had a human head but was connected to a lion's body, and also had a scorpion's venomous tail and bat-like wings!
Its name was Manticore! Not a naturally born monster, but a magical creature created by creation magic!
And not just one, but two, like a male and female pair!
"HAHAHA! You smelly brat, let me play with you!" While spewing disgusting foul language, they madly chased Iris ahead, the two Manticores only stared sharply forward, towards Iris who dashed like a whirlwind.
"Brother! The two Manticores are already lured!"
Although Iris frowned at the Manticores' disgusting words, she still managed to perform the taunt task and lure the Manticores.
"Well done!" Even facing the fierce attack of the Griffin from the sky, even facing the two Manticores that would make ordinary adventurers pale, Ethan only had a cold and merciless gaze, as if looking at a corpse.
Griffins and Manticores, these were two types of monsters that shouldn't be living near Axel City.
It's said that two years ago, the Manticores were either released by a mischievous wizard or emerged from nearby ruins or underground, and since then they have lived in the mountainous area near Axel.
Then, a severely injured Griffin was also found near Axel, only the adventurers at that time hoped the Griffin and Manticores would fight to the death, they not only did not stab the severely injured Griffin, but also confined the Griffin and Manticores in one place.
The result was contrary to the adventurers' expectations, although the Griffin fought with the Manticores, but every day they fought, not only did they not die, but they also expanded to other areas, causing Axel's losses to continue to increase.
Although later a stronger adventurer team entered, but the Griffin and Manticores instead cooperated to fight humans, in the end the adventurers who hunted them either died in this dense forest, or left from here and vowed never to return again.
For this reason, even the Axel Adventurer Guild was forced to lower the reward to prevent adventurers from accepting the task recklessly.
Now, a team of four, Ethan, plans to hunt the Griffin and Manticores!
And, not one by one, but they lure them all together to destroy, a bold move!
"KIAO!"
Releasing a roar full of anger, the Griffin in the sky like falling lightning, leaving a shadow and diving from the sky directly attacked Ethan on the ground.
And the Manticores also flying in the air chasing Iris, suddenly exerted their strength and attacked Iris!
Danger?
Impossible!
"Sacred Break Spell!"
That was a skill mastered by the Arch Priest to cancel magic!
Who else would use this skill besides Eris who held a staff and looked as holy as a goddess?
The reason for using this skill is because both the Manticores and Griffin, such large creatures, can fly against the movement rules of living creatures, because they have flying magic!
This means that once the magic cancellation skill is activated, they will lose the ability to fly…
The Griffin preparing to dive from the sky suddenly lost balance and fell to the ground.
And the two Manticores chasing Iris also seemed not to expect that they couldn't fly, they instead fell to the ground comically!
Of course, Ethan and the others had no time to admire those stupid monsters!
"Light of Saber!"
Yunyun extended her right hand, powerful magic gathered on it, forming a sword shining with golden light, splitting the air and attacking the Griffin falling from the sky!
"Sword Slash!"
Ethan held Gram and quickly charged at one of the Manticores attacking, using great strength to stomp the ground and utilize the thrust, while Iris who was chased also held the Holy Sword, turned around and used the most common skill used by warriors, slashing the other Manticore!
"AAARGH!"
"ROARRRR!"
"KIAO!"
The roars of pain from the two Manticores echoed in the forest, the screams of pain from the Griffin echoed throughout the sky!
Light of Saber tore the Griffin's wings, Ethan and Iris's Sword Slash also cut off the venomous tails of the two Manticores at the same time!
"Mountain Collapse Strike!"
Carrying the power to destroy the earth, Iris like a mad warrior, jumped from the ground and flew into the air, then with the power falling from the sky, she smashed the fallen Manticore!
*BRUAK!*
The hybrid creature's body shattered into pieces like a crushed watermelon!
"Bottomless Swamp!"
The Griffin whose wings were torn and forced to fall to the ground, creating a large pit, was suddenly covered by a vast swamp!
With an unwilling roar, the ruler of the sky was swallowed by mother earth!
"Damn humans! I will make you feel the sting of death! AAARGHHH!"
Seeing his wife and teammate killed, the male Manticore roared in anger and attacked Ethan!
For that…
"Die!" For the charging Manticore, Ethan only glanced with a sneer.
"Limit Breaker Weapon!"
That was the terrifying skill that once pushed Ethan and the others into a corner, also the ultimate attack of Verdia!
A strong power that made the air fearful and flee gathered on Gram!
*BRUAK!*
With one move, the mountains were left with only a split chasm!
