Knight and Wand

Chapter 43 Chase
Death fell from the sky, a huge shadow falling at high speed.

It was not until the sound of the wind through the air reached the heads of the Kantardars that they belatedly looked up.

Looking up, I saw the god of death with huge wings on his back.

"Lion Griffin?!!!"

Luke suddenly pounced on Baron Dason and used his body to protect the lord, thus narrowly avoiding the attack of the beast's sharp claws.

The giant beast's huge body roared through the Kantardar army, and several knights' servants were picked up like rag dolls and thrown into the air.

"No--!!!" The servants screamed in fear while running and falling down. The crowd scattered like a flock of sheep, completely losing the ferocious look they had when they slaughtered the villagers.

The huge razor-like claws of the beast easily tore through the air.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" A horrifying scream came from the mouth of the soldier who flew into the sky. The soldier in iron armor instantly burst into a cloud of blood mist, and his limbs were torn into several pieces like a torn puppet.

The viscera and blood spilled from the severed body made it rain blood over the Kantardars' heads.

Olivia, who had a brief chance to catch her breath, also retreated in panic.

She looked up warily at the huge monster grabbing the Kantadar soldiers and flying into the sky.

The girl's head was a little confused and buzzing due to the unprecedented scene.

The griffin spread its huge wings and turned upside down in the sky, rushing towards the hateful human soldiers below again.

The blonde girl instinctively raised her sword in fear, trying to defend herself from the terrifying attack of the giant beast.

Leon in the distance suddenly became anxious. He leaned on his sword and took a difficult step with his legs that felt like they were filled with lead. He stepped forward and shouted, "Olivia, stop fighting! Run away! It's not our enemy!"

The girl finally recovered from her shock when she heard her companion's loud and concerned cry.

Seeing Leon desperately waving at her from a distance, she immediately woke up from her panic and ran towards her companions.

The soldiers, who had long lost interest in fighting, fled in panic like headless flies and were unable to stop the girl from breaking out.

"Come and protect the lord! You idiots!"

Luke pulled Doson up, turned around to pick up the spear dropped by the dead servant beside him, and shouted at his men to reorganize the team.

"Why is there a griffin here?!"

Duosen looked at the huge beast shadow with surprise and gritted teeth.

"Retreat into the house quickly, my lord!" Luke cried out in his heart. Without the large crossbow and those Atias robe-clad men, how could they, a group of scattered soldiers and brave men, fight against an adult griffin?

A loud eagle cry exploded in the air, and the king of the sky flapped its wings and dived, its huge claws flying straight towards its original target of revenge.

Luke rushed towards the beast that was rushing towards him, attracting its attention and trying to create an opportunity for the lord to escape.

"Hey! Long-haired beast! Look at this!!" The knight cursed and shouted to buy time for the lord.

Dausen looked at his knight's loyal behavior with bitterness, but he could only swallow the bitter fruit of misfortune unwillingly. He turned around and ran towards the nearest house, thinking that he was unlucky.

The griffin, which was swooping in from low altitude, raised its two huge front claws and grabbed the heavily armored knight who was trying to stop a chariot beneath it.

Luke quickly leaned down and slid on the ground to avoid the fatal attack.

He slid down to a half-crouch and immediately raised his spear to stab the griffin in the belly.

However, the griffin only flapped its wings to slow down its body, making the knight's attack on the ground ineffective.

The two huge claws on its hind legs fell down immediately and grabbed the knight with the same strange force.

Luke tried to block with his bar, but his giant claws easily broke the spear like straw. The griffin's hind legs clamped the knight's arms, and he raised his lower body and flapped his wings.

The heavily armored knight's body was thrown high in front of the griffin.

The knight flying in the air waved his limbs helplessly, with no place to gain leverage or hide.

Clang! The griffin opened its huge beak and caught its prey accurately. Its sharp mouth bit the knight's body like a hydraulic press. The sharp tip dented the heavy steel armor, and the giant beast swung its eagle head left and right skillfully.

There was a teeth-grinding sound of metal shaking, and the terrifying left-right tearing force of the swing instantly threw the knight into a bloody mass of iron-wrapped flesh.

The griffin opened its mouth and threw the remains of the knight away like garbage. It lifted its wings and soared into the air. It turned around and leaned down again to chase after the unforgettable smell.

The gathered soldiers were completely without command, and the crowd collapsed in fear.

The few surviving servants who had lost their knight master completely abandoned Dawson and fled to both sides.

Only a few knights and attendants who were still directly loyal to the baron followed the fleeing Dossen.

He quickly broke open the wooden door in front of him and fled into the nearest house.

Listening to the horrifying screams of the servants who were unfortunately left behind outside, Dawson was furious.

Before I could even catch my breath, the roof above my head suddenly creaked, making a noise as if it could not bear the weight.

With a deafening crash, rubble and wooden beams fell down.

Dausen swung his halberd in the flying dust, and it fell down and smashed against the beam of his house.

The griffin's huge body was lying outside on the wall of the house, and its huge beak immediately reached into the roof of the cave and bit towards Duosen.

"You damn beast!"

Duosen fought back angrily, swinging his halberd with all his strength to chop at the huge eagle's beak that was biting towards him.

With a bang, the heavy axe blade, under the extraordinary force bursting out from the red muscles, hit the griffin's head and tilted it.

Although the halberd only left a scratch on the extremely hard beak, the angry griffin flapped its wings and flew up, readjusted its angle, and swooped down on the target with its right claw.

Duosen had nowhere to hide in the narrow space, so he had to thrust his halberd towards the incoming beast's claws.

Bang!
With a loud bang, Baron Dausen's body smashed through the wall and flew out like a kite with a broken string.

He stumbled on the ground like a ball, and Duosen spat out a mouthful of blood that spilled onto the ground.

As soon as he hit the wall at the entrance of the alley and stopped, he endured the pain and tried to get up using his hands and feet.

The gem on his chest continuously supplied magic elements into Duosen's body, repairing his internal injuries.

As soon as he looked up, he luckily found that he had fallen in front of a warhorse that was tied at the entrance of the alley by some servant.

The horse was neighing in fear.

He quickly stood up and jumped onto the horse, then Dawson grabbed the reins and fled.
At the entrance of the village.

The mercenary cavalrymen who came on horseback stood across the street, looking at the giant beast flapping its wings and flying low in the distance, and they all stopped their horses in surprise.

"Griffin!? Where did the griffin come from!?"

".What's going on? What's happening?" Amid the chattering, the mercenaries looked at each other in panic.

"Boss, what should we do? Should we still rescue the Baron?" A man bowed his head beside the mercenary leader and asked in a low voice.

The mercenary leader looked at his men in dismay, "What the hell! We don't even have a heavy crossbow, and we're going to fight this monster? Are we going to die?"

"Brothers, turn around and retreat quickly!"

Mercenaries who make a living by living on the edge of a knife are not fools who don't know how to live or die.

At the command of the mercenary leader, the horn was blown again, conveying the order to retreat to the mercenaries.

The mercenary cavalry immediately turned their horses around in unison, ruthlessly choosing to abandon their employers.

You have to have money, but you also have to have the life to spend it.
