"Super ultimate skill · Counter-Natural Cold Flame!"

Quickly leveraging the ice totem, I rushed to the side of the griffon. With a swing of my hand, countless white flames fell directly on the griffon. Unlike ordinary flames, the cold flames didn't require a medium. They were pure magical creations that rapidly spread upon contact with their target.

In no time, the white flames engulfed most of the griffon. Perhaps stimulated by the cold, the griffon threw its prey aside and began patting the flames on its body.

But could these flames be easily extinguished?

Those who were hit by this move earlier were all frozen into ice blocks. Enjoy it!

However, this guy seems to be at a much higher level than me... I hope the effect is still effective.

But unfortunately, it always turns out differently in situations like this. Suddenly, the griffon flapped its wings forcefully and soared into the sky. Once in mid-air, its body began to rotate slowly. It then adjusted its posture, and the speed of rotation suddenly accelerated to the extreme. Its entire body transformed into a golden tornado and rushed down!

"Quickly, run!"

Anyone caught in this tornado would be torn to pieces!

Just as I worried about Sael and Dominicus, who were still recovering on the ground, two figures rushed over, picked them up, and left the area.

After a moment, the golden tornado crashed down to the ground, and the entire space turned into a field of flying sand and rocks. I activated all three of my acceleration skills, desperately fleeing backward. Finally, I managed to take out my attack range before the strong wind blew me away. Although parts of my armor were blown away, it's not the time to worry about that now.

Looking back, the huge golden tornado was still spinning continuously. Although its power was diminishing, the effectiveness of this attack was truly unimaginable!

When the tornado dissipated, the mocking griffon stood directly in the center, looking straight at me.

The attack just now only caused it 4000 points of damage, which is simply not enough.

The nearby forest and the road next to it were completely devastated, with only debris and dust scattered all over the ground. It is no longer possible to tell what it used to look like.

It's terrifying! If this guy were to enter the city, it would likely turn into a cemetery!

"Hey, are you guys alright?"

As I stared at the griffon, I quickly asked.

"We're okay, kid..."

Odin, leaning against a tree below, answered. He was supporting Sael, who had several scratches on his armor, and it was deformed. It seems that the damage received by being attacked by this monster earlier was not light. Although I couldn't see the condition beneath the armor, there must be fractures and internal injuries. It's evident from Sael's weakened state.

"I didn't expect you to be this strong. Judging from your fighting style, it seems you are not just a pretender as a warrior. Could it be that you are a magic swordsman? But your magic is not used together with your sword. Who are you really..."

"Well~, every mercenary has their own secrets, so don't worry about it."

I shrugged, took off the heavily damaged armor, and changed into a lightweight robe.

"I really can't get used to wearing armor~"

"Enough chitchatting. Let me heal you guys. Those of you who can still fight, go attract the monster's attention!"

As a voice came, Gabriel appeared with Dominicus from the forest.

Dominicus' long spear was already broken, leaving only half of it.

It's a really bad situation...

"Alright, alright, I'll leave it to you, 'Daddy~'."

Then I looked around.

"Oyado, what's your most powerful skill? Can it kill it directly?"

"It won't work..."

Oyado suddenly appeared in front of me.

"The opponent's skin is too thick, and it's even stronger after turning golden. It felt like I was slashing on an iron plate during my previous attacks."

"I see..."

This is troublesome. If even Oyado, who has the highest DPS, can't do it... While my strongest magic is indeed powerful, even if I skip the chanting time, it still takes several tens of seconds to charge, and I can't move from the moment I start using it. If it's countered...

Do you want to use them as bait?

No, Oyado may be fast, but the enemy's hatred won't be directed towards her because she's always disappearing and reappearing.

And Dai'er... let's forget it. If he doesn't have enough height, he won't be able to use the hang glider, and his speed is almost the slowest among us.

Let's just fight head-on!

"Dai'er, long-range attacks are up to you. Oyado, seize the opportunity to ambush him!"

"You planning on using a sword, kid?"

Putting down Saier's Odin, he came over with a hammer and asked with a smile.

"No, I'm using a knife!"

Taking out a dagger, a blue light flashed, and a layer of ice formed on the blade.

Summon Ice Sword! Summon Ice Armor!

At the same time, my whole body was wrapped in a blue armor!

"Sure enough, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, that beast is getting impatient!"

After saying that, I charged straight towards it.

The lion-faced griffin let out a mocking roar, opening both heads and shooting countless fireballs at me!

Hmph! If I get hit, then all those years of playing games would be in vain!

Spirit of the Wind!

With a flash of green light, the speed of those fireballs suddenly slowed down. I easily slipped through the gaps between the fireballs and charged straight towards its feet!

"Roar!!!"

I was greeted by its claws, bloodied claws that came at me like a sickle. Facing it head-on... I don't have the courage or the strength to do that, after all, this guy is many times stronger than me. If I directly confront it, I'll definitely die!

But my intention isn't to attack directly!

"Arcane·Infinite·Millennium Glacier!"

Seeing the rapidly gathering ice elemental griffin finally understood my intention. It spread its wings and angrily called out while trying to ascend, but a huge block of ice suddenly enveloped most of its body, pinning it to the ground.

"Ka!!!"

The eagle head continued to strike the ice block with its arm that was outside, causing even advanced magic like this to slowly crack!

But this is enough!

I smiled, directly aimed at its mouth, and shot a bag with an ice arrow inside.

"Grand ultimate skill·Shatter Quake·Heaven-Cracking Earth-Rending!!"

Odin had already charged below it, his whole body emitting a deep red. With a swing of his hammer, his entire body turned into energy blasts that directly slammed into the griffin!

Unlike before, the force of the impact was concentrated in the direction of the attack. The griffin was knocked up into the air! Its body, dozens of meters long, flew into the sky!

"Electromagnetic Cannon! Fire!"

Following that, a large burst of blue electric light directly hit the griffin. Just as it flew into the sky, it was immediately shaken again!

-58354

The opponent's HP bar dropped to its last point, and its body slammed into the ground!

However, its body suddenly turned deep black, and then it flipped and jumped up from the ground!

"Hey hey! There's still a third stage!"

"Yeah, that's why you need to strike early at times like this."

Suddenly, someone clung to my shoulder and said.

"Huh? Who are you?"

The person appearing in front of me was actually a black-haired... man?

White Moonlight...

I just saw these three words above his head, and then he suddenly flickered and appeared behind the griffin!

"Ultimate skill·Iai Slash!"

As soon as his voice fell, a cutting mark appeared on the griffin's right leg, and blood spurted out instantly!

"Lock-on~ Ultimate skill·Swift as the Wind, Elusive as Lightning~"

A shadow of an arrow flashed and directly hit the previous wound!

A cry of anguish, and this time the griffin fell to the ground. Hahaha, serves you right! You insisted on showing off, even though creatures with four legs must walk upright and switch to two legs. Do you think you're in some kind of game like a certain grass mud horse?!

"Hey, you guys always cause trouble like this, don't you?"

Suddenly, a female figure appeared on the griffin's back, holding a weapon... it was actually a halberd! And the griffin on the ground... was paralyzed, unable to move due to the paralysis element!

"Ultimate Skill·Azure Dragon Waltz! Let's dance!"

As she swiftly swung her polearm, the HP bar of the Gryphon on the ground dropped rapidly! It went from over 30,000 HP to almost bottoming out in an instant. Seeing this, I quickly pressed the controller in my hand.

"Gah... Roar..."

The Gryphon let out a final lament before slowly ceasing its struggle.

"Ah... You actually stole the kill!"

A man with long black hair suddenly rushed towards me and pointed at me.

"You're the one who wanted to steal the kill! Showing off suddenly! What are you thinking?!"

"Clearly, all of you were at a disadvantage! You don't even know how to deal with enemies, seeking death!"

"You're the one seeking death!"

"Xiaobai, is this someone you know?"

A tall woman with purple short hair carrying a polearm walked over, sizing me up while asking.

She looks pretty, but she must be over 180 cm tall, right?

"Seems like it~ Speaking of which, Xiaobai, have you regained your memories?"

Another girl with black shoulder-length hair, holding a bow, also walked over.

"I am not friends with this guy! Stealing kills and all..."

"Hey hey hey, clearly, you're the one stealing kills!"

"I..."

Smack!

The woman with purple hair hit the guy called Baiyueguang with her polearm.

"Speak properly!"

"Hold on!"

I first raised my hand to stop them, then took a deep breath.

"Who are you guys exactly?"
