𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐝, 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 ①
Ashe was fuming on the back of Gryphon.
ㅤ
“Damn it! So infuriating!”
ㅤ
They were high in the sky.
At the moment, they were being pursued by the gigantic mysterious bird, Fraesvelgr.
If they were just being chased, there would have been many ways to deal with it. However. . . . . .the problem was that Fraesvelgr’s 『ability』 had ensnared both Ashe and Gryphon.
ㅤ
『Cawwwwww!!』
“This is bad! Gryphon, 『Wind Sphere』!”
『Squeal!』
ㅤ
When the mysterious bird, Fraesvelgr, flapped its wings, gray feathers scattered from them.
Those feathers, as if they had a will of their own, darted through the sky and seemed to target Ashe and Gryphon directly.
Gryphon enveloped itself in a sphere of emerald-green wind. This deflected all the feathers. However, this attack was more intense than they had anticipated, and Ashe and Gryphon couldn’t counterattack.
ㅤ
“Oh, come on! Those feathers are such a nuisance! Before I realized it, the Asgard Kingdom was so far away. . . . . .I’m trying to be cool, but this demon beast is quite formidable…!!”
ㅤ
Ashe’s only means of attack was Gryphon’s wind. Unlike Lapis, Ashe couldn’t create weapons out of ice for personal use. So, in the current defensive situation, they were at a significant disadvantage.
Moreover, they were in the sky.
Ashe, who prides herself on being the strongest in aerial combat in the S-class, was closely followed by Fraesvelgr. Despite its huge size, Fraesvelgr was almost as fast as Gryphon and kept launching feathers at them from behind.
Ashe realized.
ㅤ
“This guy. . . . . .is just playing.”
ㅤ
Indeed, Fraesvelgr was toying with them.
Slowly, steadily. . . . . . wearing Ashe and Gryphon down.
This irritated Ashe to no end. After all, Ashe is different from Lapis.
“Don’t mess with me! Gryphon, change direction!”
『Squeak?!』
“I’ll use the ultimate move, 『Griffin Breaker』. Brace yourself.”
『. . . . . .squeak?』
ㅤ
Seriously?
Gryphon seemed to mutter that.
The Griffin Breaker was a special move learned during training with Lapis and Ridelle.
Though called a special move, it was simply charging with maximum wind power, a simple technique.
Ashe decided to go for the win. They couldn’t waste any more time.
ㅤ
“Hey, big bird! I’ll settle this now!”
『. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Fraesvelgr smirked.
Then, flapping its massive wings multiple times, it scattered a vast amount of feathers.
The feathers, seemingly with their own intent, gathered to form a massive swirling sphere.
Gryphon also cloaked itself in wind, forming an emerald-green sphere.
With its wings spread wide, it let out a clear cry.
ㅤ
『Squaaaaaall!!』
“Here we go! Ultimate move, 『Griffin Breaker』!”
ㅤ
Cloaked in wind━━Ashe and Gryphon charged.
At the same time, Fraesvelgr’s 『Feather Sphere』 was released.
But━━Ashe had miscalculated.
ㅤ
“Huh?”
ㅤ
The moment Gryphon collided with the 『Feather Sphere』, Gryphon’s wind was dispersed.
It was incomprehensible.
It wasn’t just a simple matter of one being more powerful than the other.
ㅤ
“Could it be━━”
ㅤ
Ashe’s bad habit.
She’s quick-tempered and easily gets into fights.
Although she kept a low profile after enrolling in the academy, Ashe was originally short-tempered. She had numerous fights with Albero and also frequently quarreled with children living in the Rushout territory.
Due to her short temper, Ashe tends to prefer quick resolutions in solo battles.
Hence, she’s often short-sighted.
Fraesvelgr’s ability isn’t about controlling feathers.
ㅤ
“Ability━━?!”
『Kyuo━━n!!』
ㅤ
Countless feathers slash at Gryphon. But Gryphon retreats with full force. . . . . .Ashe also got hit by some feathers and was bleeding.
Fraesvelgr’s ability is 『neutralization』.
By striking the phenomenon caused by the ability with his feathers, he can neutralize its power.
The moment Ashe’s wind touched it, its power was neutralized. . . . . .and nullified.
“Ugh, ah. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ashe forcefully pulled out the feathers embedded in her right leg and arm.
Blood is flowing. . . . . .She tore her uniform for a tourniquet.
All of this is the result of her own shortsightedness.
“Gryphon. . . . . .are you okay?”
『Kyuuu』
ㅤ
Gryphon isn’t unscathed either.
Small feathers are stuck in her body, and she’s bleeding.
Then, Fraesvelgr flaps his wings again, and feathers flutter.
It’s almost time for the final showdown.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .This is bad.”
ㅤ
There are no comrades here to help Ashe and Gryphon.
