Chapter 291: Growth

“Ha!”

“!!!!”

I suddenly jumped up and attacked the gryphon in the air. The gryphon was too busy blocking my sword attack with its claws.

“Fool! The air is my exclusive domain. You took the trouble to come to my territory unprotected!”

Saying this, the gryphon tried to fly even higher into the air.

“Don’t think you’re the only one who can move freely in the air!”

“Nah!”

I leapt up once more, further in the air, and approached the gryphon. The increased skill level of the beastification allowed me to use my psychokinesis enough to create a foothold in the air, if only for a moment.

“Huh!”

“Aah…”

I jumped and went around above the gryphon. The gryphon tried to block my sword with its claws as before, so I swung my sword so that it bounced off the gryphon’s hands to the side. This left his torso empty.

“Wait!”

“Huh!”

I slashed at the empty torso. The gryphon fell to the ground with great force. The wind around the gryphon made it impossible to cut the torso in half.

“Gghh…haa…!”

However, the griffon was slammed hard into the ground. And a not-so-shallow slash wound was also made on his belly.

“Haa…haa……”

“Brother! Up there!”

“Up!”

I jumped once in the air and descended at high speed from above onto the griffon, which was on all fours on the ground. The wind guard is already down. I could surely finish him off now.

“Get out of the way!”

“Ah…”

I tried to tome the griffon with my sword, but the ghoul came to shield him. So I blew it away with an unchanted lightning blast. This time I tried to slay the griffon, but the manticore came.

“I’m saved…!”

And the griffon took off at a low altitude to escape, leaving the manticore to deal with me.

“I won’t let you get away! Hey!”

I threw the Suiyami I was holding at the griffon. The sword I threw pierced the griffon’s right wing, which was no longer guarded by the wind.

“Gah!”

The gryphon, unable to fly, came to a halt, its body scraping against the ground.

“Nii-sama!”

“Ha!”

“Gyaa!”

The manticore turned its back on me, as if worried about the griffon, even though it had me in its sights. I took the opportunity to slash its scorpion-like tail, which seemed to be poisonous and was in the way, from the base. Then I ran at the griffon.

“Damn… I’m…”

As soon as I was near the griffon, I transferred Suiyami back to my hand. I then used the sword in my right hand to hit the gryphon in the neck. I had learned the importance of making sure that I put the finishing touches on the enemy during the last inter school battle.

“How dare you! Nii-sama!”

The Manticore came running toward me, his anger evident.

“Die! Die!”

Perhaps because of his anger, the manticore’s attack was very monotonous. I calmly parried it.

“Ka-ha…”

I then took advantage of the opportunity and drove my sword into the manticore’s chest.

“Oh, nii-sama…”

I dropped the manticore’s head as well, to make sure that I put the finishing touches on him.

“Ah!”

Just at that moment, the ghoul arrived. I slashed at the ghoul with my sword.

“It’s hard…”

As expected of a ghoul demon. Sword attacks are almost never fatal. Even if I could cut deeply, it would regenerate quickly. What is effective against the undead is fire magic, light magic, or holy magic. Lightning doesn’t do that much damage to this guy. So I deactivated the divine lightning enchantment and the spirit Yug enchantment.

“Yug!”

“Alright!”

Yug instantly knew what I was looking for. Yug got the magic power from me and started to prepare the enchantment. I stalled for time until she finished preparing.

“”Hellfire!””

“Ahh……!!”

I used Yug and fire spirit magic to burn the ghoul at once. The ghoul burned at a rate that regeneration couldn’t keep up with. My fire magic wouldn’t have been able to produce this much firepower. And by the time the fire was extinguished, the ghoul was reduced to ashes.

“Phew…”

I took a breath of relief. By doing the unexpected to the gryphon, I was able to completely own the flow of the battle. I was tired, but I was able to win the battle without too many wounds.

“Yug, good job.”

“Yes!”

“Devilfication.”

I cancelled all but the recovery enchantments and returned to my initial state. Then I ran towards the sound of battle to go help everyone else.
