Chapter 125.

Sword and lance would clash in the air, and both sides would display their strength. With that, they would exchange blows until the very end with all their might.

This was probably the duel Roland imagined. However, Seon-Hyeok had no intention of playing along with these stupid knights.

In the first place, there was no need to test out his opponent in this fight.

The first blow will decide the victor.

Seon-Hyeok had always lived by this rule, and he had always emerged victorious. Therefore, he once again brought out his Wind Piercing ability from the very beginning.

Whoosh!

The wind whirling through the sky like a wild horse quickly gathered at the tip of his lance, forming a giant wedge.

Shriek!

Excited, Redvern let out a violent shriek before rushing towards the griffin.

Roar!

Despite the sudden attack, the griffin did not cower, instead roaring in return. The only one taken aback in this vast sky was the griffins rider.

Seon-Hyeok had hoped that this one attack would bring down the crazy knight. However, his wish would not come true.

The moment Roland urgently expanded his sword energy and broke Seon-Hyeoks attack into pieces, the griffin took a quick dive towards the ground.

Having only dealt with lateral evasive movements while fighting earthbound targets, Seon-Hyeok was taken aback by the three-dimensional maneuver.

He frowned as his surprise attack missed.

I guess I underestimated him as well.

It was only then that he realized that his opponent had the same maneuvering advantages that he did. He once again fixed his lance and searched for the griffin.

The griffin had fallen a significant distance in an instant, but quickly rose up with powerful flaps of its wings.

Hey! You coward!

It was not like he attacked before the start of the duel or used any underhanded tactics. Seon-Hyeok smirked at Rolands complaints, unable to understand what about his actions could be considered cowardly.

In any case, I dont think Ill lose.

After a brief look at Roland still unable to come to his senses, Seon-Hyeok looked towards the other griffin rider. Lafayette remained in his original position.

What to do.

He felt uncomfortable bringing out all of his cards with Lafayette watching. However, it did not suit him to take the long path when he had an easy opportunity for victory.

Atiya.

Seon-Hyeok summoned the wind spirit, an absolute force in the air.

Get him.

The devoted Atiya flew in and grabbed the griffins wings.

Roar!

But at that moment, the griffin suddenly turned its head and attacked Atiya. It was Seon-Hyeoks first time seeing a spirit being attacked or even noticed by an enemy.

Ack!

Seon-Hyeok stared as Atiyas waist was torn apart by the griffins sharp beak.

I knew you would have some connection to wind spirits. However, griffins are the true divine masters of the wind, and your powers are useless here.

As he was trying to come to terms with the unexpected situation, Atiya returned.

M, master

Though the wound quickly disappeared, considering her body was made of wind, Atiya still looked to be in pain.

T, the damage wont heal

Seon-Hyeok looked at the scared spirit before glaring at Roland.

You bastard

You think Id challenge you to a duel without even knowing that much?

His burning anger subsided as he heard the mocking voice.

He belatedly realized that compared to the griffin riders, figures veiled in mystery, his own powers had already been exposed to the world.

Ah. I was worrying about nothing.

He was already well-known, and yet he was foolishly thinking about hiding his abilities. Clearly, he had become as stupid as these knights, intoxicated by repeated victories and wartime accomplishments.

What bullshit!

Did this knight think he already won?

Seon-Hyeok responded in a cold fury at Rolands arrogance.

Griffins are the divine masters of the wind?

Having nothing to hide, he pulled out his most powerful weapon.

Then try to master this.

A violent wind gathered around him, and the tempest became a raging animal.

***

Its over.

Standing far away with his arms folded, Lafayette grew certain of victory the moment the foreigner summoned his wind spirit. That transparent spirit was the source of the power Drachen had used in his numerous victories, and it was the tool with the sharpest teeth to tear enemies into shreds.

Unfortunately for him however, those teeth are useless against griffins.

Griffins were masters of the wind and devoured spirits even if a high-tier spirit appeared, it would simply become prey for the beast.

It was because of this that the Griffindor royal family had willingly dispatched their treasured Knights of the Azure Sky to become Drachens adversary.
