Chapter 132: 2-9 Thirst
"This governess candidate, do you still want to try to be my governess?" When Flanda saw Elo's appearance, she looked a little triumphant.
She couldn't tell how strong Iroh's movements were just now, and that kind of skill would be shocked to anyone who had a little bit of knowledge to see.
The ninth-order super-high-speed magic may only give Ello a reaction time of only half a second, and in this half second, accurately judging the attack range of the high-pressure wind blade and perfectly dodging this range is not only explained by its strength.
Although in front of the layman, Iroh only dodged the attack in embarrassment.
"......" Iroh did not respond to Flanda, he was generally engrossed in the battle, even when facing the griffin that was much weaker than himself, he still did not let up in the slightest, and the next moment, Iroh moved.
The Gryphon excels at medium to long distances, and if Iroh uses magic to attack from a distance, it is likely that he will be dodged by his powerful wind magic mastery. So Iroh opted for hand-to-hand combat.
In melee combat, wind magic can still increase the griffin's strength, but the short-range acceleration effect will be significantly weakened.
As Iroh approached the griffon, the griffin was not idle, and its self-conceit physical strength must be stronger than that of ordinary humans, so it suddenly aimed its powerful beak at Iroh and bit down.
The bird's sharp beak and the beast's powerful masseter muscles can easily tear apart people's skin, and if this attack hits an ordinary person, it will be at least seriously injured, but Iroh's hand is faster than it, and he hits the griffon's jaw with an uppercut in his right hand, and in an instant, the griffin closes its upper beak.
The griffon, who was violently attacked by Iro, was suspicious, it had never thought that humans would have this kind of power, but it was not without fighting a powerful being, and it immediately slammed down with its claws aimed at Iroh.
After a punch attack, the griffin's body was a little unbalanced, so this claw was completed by relying on the acceleration and strength increase of wind attribute magic, this kind of small trick naturally could not cause any damage to Iro, and under this palm, Iroh had already avoided it.
When the griffon's claws hit the ground, Iroh grabbed the griffin's forelimbs and pressed its joints to twist with all his might, taking advantage of its unstable body.
With a roar from the griffin, its joints were instantly twisted and dislocated, and the griffon, which was adjusting its balance, instantly fell to the ground on its side, revealing the griffin's most fragile belly.
Iroh rolled over to dodge the griffin and fall to the ground, then gathered all his strength into his right fist and punched the griffin in the abdomen.
The griffin was so painful that it continued to roll over and try to get up, but was unable to stand due to fractures in its forelimbs and persistent severe pain in its abdomen, losing its ability to fight.
"I won." Iroh won cleanly, though not quite like his usual fighting style. After all, in the past, when he faced Warcraft, he directly dug out the crystal nucleus with a sword to reduce battle damage, and the Royal Griffin itself was very noble and could not be treated like an ordinary Warcraft.
He threw out a few runes and used the healing technique he did best to relieve the griffon's pain. But the griffin still did not get up, and the severe pain and torture just now made it pass out.
"You...... "Flanda never thought that Iroh would be able to defeat the Royal Griffon, let alone that he would be able to finish the Royal Gryphon out so quickly and unscathed.......
The powerful eighth-order demonic beast seemed to be a target in front of him for nothing.
"Her Highness doesn't seem to have a talent for order magic, and she doesn't like divine magic, so I can only use this method to show off my powers." Elo said, "I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess is satisfied?" ”
"You mean...... You only used vindictiveness? Flanda asked, surprised.
"That's right." Iroh nodded.
But he lied.
Although it is true that using Dou Qi can increase strength to the extent of Ello, Airo does not use Dou Qi. He has dragon blood flowing through his body, allowing him to exert great strength even without fighting energy.
The griffon's heart was now restless, and the negative impact of its failure in the duel with Iroh was not only a failure, but also a fire in the deepest part of its soul.
It subconsciously felt that Ello was stronger than itself, not in terms of strength, but in the level of Warcraft: the thirst of the original sin known as Warcraft was disturbing it and making it uneasy.
The Royal Gryphon is highly trained, and even in the face of dragons, it can suppress the thirst in its heart without fear. But suppression is one thing, and whether there is a struggle in the heart is another. This royal griffin did indeed feel the blood of a high-level demonic beast from the human in front of him, and this bloodline affected its sanity.
It was as if a voice was urging it to pounce, nibble, crush, chew, eat, drink—and then evolve.
Finally, the fainting griffon's body trembled slightly, and no one noticed this small movement, except for Iro.
"So...... You're barely getting through. Flanda clasped her hands to her chest, her expression a little tangled.
Although it was indeed her idea to let Iroh pass, the talent that Iroh showed made her envious and even jealous.
"Squeak!" Suddenly, the griffon, lying on the ground, stood up and flew into the sky, squandering a large amount of magic power like a raging storm. Endless wind elementals swirled in the sky, and the heart of these wind elementals was the royal griffon.
No one knew why it did this, but it did, and the endless wind obeyed the orders of the child of the wind, and the tornado tore all the clouds in the sky, and when the clouds collided, there should have been a torrential rain, but before they could have landed, the raindrops were torn to pieces by the bitter cold wind and turned into ice chips and swept into the eye of the typhoon.
"Arion!" Flanda shouted the griffon's name, but to no avail, she took out her horn and blew it violently.
"It's useless, it's going berserk." Once again, Iroh lied.
The first half of the sentence is correct, as for the second half of the sentence...... Iroh knew that the griffon, named Arion, was thirsty for blood.
Iroh swiped his index finger in front of him, and a golden rune appeared in front of him, he gently pinched the end of the rune, and these shining runes condensed into a sword like molten metal, and the excess light drifted away like a flutter, and the remaining gilded sword was held by Iroh.
He turned his sword around and aimed it at the griffon in the sky.
"Go." As he spoke, the Sword of Judgment shot straight into the sky like a shuttle of light.
Falling like a meteorite, Arion the griffon was surrounded by thunder, which broke through the storm and fell from the sky, constantly erupting into thunderstorms that rumbled around the eardrums of people.
However, the sword of judgment that Iroh threw out was silent, and the two collided, and immediately erupted into a sonic boom.
A large amount of ownerless disordered magic and elemental power spread out in all directions, and the thunder clouds disappeared in response, and only the long-lasting roar lingered in the sky.
