𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐝, 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 ② / 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐨
Checking the condition of the injuries.
Blood is flowing from the arms and legs. There are many abrasions, and feeling dizzy.
Gryphon is also similarly injured.
However, the passionate Ashe turns the pain into anger and shouts.
ㅤ
“Gryphon!! I’m sorry!! But, we won’t lose here, right?!”
『Kooo!!』
“That big bird. . . . . .don’t underestimate us!!”
ㅤ
Ashe decided not to flee.
Instead of fleeing, she dodges attacks while fighting.
Fraesvelgr spreads its wings again, shooting feathers towards Ashe and Gryphon.
“Gryphon, 『Air Thrust』!!”
ㅤ
Wind blades shoot out from Gryphon’s wings. . . . . .but the moment they touch Fraesvelgr’s 『feathers』, they are 『neutralized』.
Ashe clicks her tongue. But she’s certain now.
Fraesvelgr’s feathers can neutralize attacks.
Meaning. . . . . .in this situation where feathers are swirling, it’s very difficult to land Gryphon’s wind attacks.
ㅤ
“But, we have to do it. . . . . .take down that big bird!”
To do that, they must attack Fraesvelgr directly while dodging the 『neutralizing』 feathers.
The problem is these feathers raining down like a shower. Despite scattering so many, the number of feathers doesn’t decrease.
Ashe pats Gryphon’s back.
ㅤ
“Gryphon, I leave it to you. I’ll choose the timing for the attacks.”
『Chirp』
ㅤ
Gryphon, with determination, spreads its wings.
Feathers from Fraesvelgr scatter. Gryphon’s eyes widen, weaving between the feathers, heading straight for Fraesvelgr.
And then, Ashe shouts.
ㅤ
“Gryphon, 『Gale Darts』!!”
ㅤ
Wind stakes, about the length of a short sword, appear in Ashe’s hand.
Ashe draws back her arm.
About ten meters to the main body of Fraesvelgr. Gryphon dodges most of the 『feathers』.
However, a few smaller feathers graze Gryphon’s wings━━but Gryphon, unfazed, dives beneath Fraesvelgr’s belly.
“Take this!!”
ㅤ
Ashe throws the 『Gale Darts』.
The wind stake flies straight and pierces into Fraesvelgr’s belly.
『Shriek?!』
“Now’s our chance!! Gryphon, do as you please!!”
ㅤ
The moment Fraesvelgr’s body wavers. Gryphon, with wind wrapped around its claws, tears at the spot where the Gale Dart pierced and blood was spilling out.
A large amount of blood spurts from Fraesvelgr’s belly.
ㅤ
“Alright!! Gryphon, get awa━━”
『Roar!!』
“This is bad. . . . . .”
ㅤ
And then━━Fraesvelgr goes wild.
It flails its body violently, causing feathers to scatter and fall.
The feathers, rather than floating, plummet at an unnatural speed, injuring Ashe and Gryphon.
ㅤ
“D, Darn, this is bad, Gryphon!!”
『Koooo!!』
ㅤ
Gryphon, battered, moved away from Fraesvelgr.
Once again, it got hit in the wings.
Gryphon’s body was pierced by feathers.
Ashe took off her uniform and stopped Gryphon’s bleeding. She didn’t mind being in her upper underwear.
“Gryphon, they’re weakening too. We can finish this!!”
『Yes!!』
“We can’t let a guy like that━━down by just one person, can we, not worthy of Albero!!”
『That’s right. . . . . .Lapis probably thinks the same.』
“Let’s do it. We’re going all out. . . . . .Don’t underestimate Ashe and Gryphon!!”
『Yes, my partner. We’ve got this!!』
ㅤ
For some reason, Gryphon’s voice could be heard, but Ashe ignored it.
Communicating her true feelings with the summoned beast━━she yelled.
ㅤ
“『Fusion』!!”
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
It was an emerald-green tornado.
Fraesvelgr, who had been rampaging, was engulfed by the tornado, spinning wildly.
After being disoriented, they finally stabilized and emerged in the eye of the tornado, a calm area.
And then, she saw it.
Gryphon. But its form had changed.
It was three times larger than before. It had twelve wings now, and its demeanor had become very majestic.
And in the middle of its chest, there was an emerald-green gem embedded.
ㅤ
『【Gryphon・Heil Pure Soul】. . . . . .I never thought I could fuse with Gryphon like this. It’s amazing!!』
ㅤ
The voice was heard from the jewel.
It was Ashe’s voice, fused with Gryphon.
Enlarged and with twelve wings spread out, the new Gryphon could move freely under Ashe’s will.
Similar to Damocles, it was a form dependent on the Summoned Beast.
ㅤ
『A head-on battle. Let’s start over. . . . . .』
『. . . . . .!』
ㅤ
Gryphon spread her wings and Ashe leaned forward.
She was trying to repeat the suicide attack that had initially failed.
Strangely, she felt that she wouldn’t lose the second time.
ㅤ
『Gryyyyyyyyyyph!!』
『Finishing blow!! 『Tornado Gigantic Impact』!!』
ㅤ
Gryphon’s special attack, enveloped in an explosive gust of wind, collided with Fraesvelgr’s 『feather sphere』.
However, the second time was different.
Ashe’s special attack shattered the 『feather sphere』, crashing into Fraesvelgr’s body. It tore Fraesvelgr apart in an instant.
The tornado subsided, leaving only the remnants of Fraesvelgr’s disappearance.
Gryphon descended to the ground, releasing their fusion.
Ashe and Gryphon were nearly unscathed.
ㅤ
“We did it. . . . . .we did it!! I fused. . . . . .Oh, I’m so happy!!”
『Kwaan!! Kwaan!!』
“Haha, Gryphon, are you happy too? Thank you!!”
『. . . . . .』
“Huh?”
ㅤ
Gryphon shook its head.
And then, Ashe realized.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ashe was completely naked. She had even lost her underwear.
It seems that unlike Damocles, after fusion, clothes disappear.
Grateful that there was no one on the landing plain, Ashe hid behind Gryphon’s shadow while covering her chest and lower body.
ㅤ
“Let’s. . . . . .let’s go to Lapis’ place.”
ㅤ
Gryphon, for some reason, happily nodded her head.
