46 Chapter 47: Griffon

The argentavis birds ascended back to the ceiling of the giant hall and continued flying around as they observed us.

"I'm guessing they're giving us permission to pass..." Said Serena

"Yeah, let's not waste this chance," I said as I headed towards the giant door.

Ariel and Serena followed behind as they kept their guards up. However to their surprise, the Birds didn't do anything.

"If only every other monster were like you guys..." I muttered

We reached the door and i looked back at them.

"Sorry we hurt your family!" I shouted at the bird which gave the signal to fall back

The bird looked at me as it continued to fly around and didn't say anything. But It didn't look like it harboured any hate within it's look

"Thanks..." I muttered as i opened the door

The three of us all took a look inside the room without carelessly walking in like before. It was a giant room just like the one we were on. But unlike this one, the middle of the bosses room was empty.

it was two rock edges connected by a bridge, i couldn't tell from where i stood what was under the bridge, but i could tell falling in their would be a bad idea

There was nothing in the middle of the room like there normally is. but in the air, we could see a single giant bird flying around.

"Boss room again... What happened to all of the mazes?" muttered Serena as she walked in

She just casually walked in. Does this girl not know fear? Even when we were fighting the Spider queen... does that have something to do with her race, or is she just fearless? Ah wait, She got scared when we fought the death knight

But she still kept fighting so I'm guessing the word isn't fearless but brave

"What are you waiting for? aren't you coming?" Asked Serena

"You're quite brave" I said as me and ariel followed behind her

"O-Obviously." Said Serena

"Hehe..." I unmentionably let out

"Why are you laughing?" Serena asked with an embarrassed expression

"Nothing," I replied

"Guys, not now. Let's go." Said Ariel

"Fine..." We Replied

We walked inside and like always the doors closed on their own.

The giant flying bird in the ceiling stopped flying around and looked at us. It wasn't an Argentavis. It was another monster type of bird i was familiar with from a game i used to play.

"A Griffin..." I said

"Yeah, you know quite a bit about these monsters despite having lost your memories, did your master teach you that too?" Asked Serena

"Yeah. More importantly, that thing is strong." I said out loud

"Yeah..." Said Ariel

each time it flapped it's wing, a Gust of wind would hit us. It remained in the Air without doing anything and just watched us.

As i thought about that, 10 Wind Arrows were formed in front of the Griffin. I called them Arrows but they really just looked like long sharp wind poles.

The door to the previous room had closed and we had limited space to dodge as the edge we stood on had little room. The edge on the other side however had more space and these two would be able to move around freely there.

It probably wants us to try crossing the bridge and then it'll deal with us when we have no room to move. A strategy which would work against most adventurers, but...

"Levite, Velox." I muttered as i grabbed on to both Ariel and Serena's hands

I don't usually pay attention to it since i usually do this in emergencies, but their hands are really soft...

"Wait, why am i thinking about this now..." I said as i shook my head

The Griffin propelled the Arrows at us and flapped it's wings at the same time. Thanks to the boost it's wings gave, the arrows were travelling super fast. But from this distance...

"It'll never hit." I said as i propelled us over to the other side with Velox

As we flew over the bridge, i looked down to see what was underneath it. There were earth spikes everywhere.

Made of rock, but even with magic strengthening, unless they completely reinforced their whole body... It would be a miracle to survive from this fall.

After we flew over, the griffin let off a screech as if it was angry that things didn't go as it planned. It then began flapping it's wings, faster and faster.

I put Ariel and Serena on the ground and looked over at the griffin

"Something's coming. I'll stop it before it finishes it."

As i said that, i cast 'Velox Dupilici' and propelled myself upwards, at two fold my current speed

Nearly there...

Just as i thought that, A tornado was formed. Slightly underneath the griffin, the wind began visible wind began gathering and rotating in a manner similar to that of tornado. It's shape also resembled one

The tornado grew bigger and bigger as it descended. Since i was close to the griffin, it reached me in seconds. However i wasn't worried about that. I had no problems dealing with the rotation of the tornado.

I easily flew out of the radius of the tornado by moving away before it could sweep me in. What i was worried about was Serena and Ariel

"Damn it... From here i won't make it!"

Will they be able to handle it?

As i thought that, The tornado reached where Serena and Ariel were and engulfed them.

"Ariel!! Serena!!" I Shouted as i propelled myself straight into the tornado

There aren't any debris or objects around which can hit them after they're caught in the wind's rotation... The problem is the rotation might cause them to fall under the bridge and land in the spikes

"Damn it!! Let me make it in time!"
