Do you know how majestic this Gryphon? The creature which has eagle head but with lion body. Moreover, the wings on its back is flapping gently like wind breeze as to show the element of elegance.
The talons on its front feet have sharp and big claws, maybe more pointed than my rusty sword. Gulp, I don't have enough time to admire this bird killer.
Thinking, how can I counter my giant enemy. His claw can penetrate easily through my thin body. His huge bulky body maybe have enough momentum to smash me on cave wall.
His strong beak is powerful enough to tear apart my body. Yeah, all aspect on its body can be killer weapon against me.
Do I need to take the first move? People said the first move in fight can determine the winner. Yeah, right, even if I have the first hundred move here, the Gryphon maybe can withstand with it. Yeah, screw it, I am gonna take first charge here.
I am holding the longsword with both grips, my stand is a bit lower as I ready to jump forward. I put the weight of my body on my front right foot and then I lock my sight to the Gryphon.
"Aaahhhhhh!!"
I let my war cry as effort to pump motivation into my fighting spirit. I slash vigorously towards Gryphon's body. My first strike is easily disabled by his talons. Then he run forward as his head aim to my torso. The beak is hard enough to break my ribs. I fly backward after the impact from Gryphon's charge.
Yeah, definitely my ribs are fractured enough to restrict my breathing. My right hand still grip the longsword. Slowly I raise myself.
It is futile for me to run from fight. It is too late to withdraw from this death match. I don't know if I have enough pride to die in Gryphon's hand.
To charge or not?
"Yeeaaahhhhhhhh!!"
I let my second war cry voice to intimidate the Gryphon. I stretch my longsword toward its neck. He swing the claws to parry with my weapon.
Before the impact occur, I lower my body and rolled forward. Immediately without waiting the Gryphon aware of what happen, I thrust the longsword into his body. I push the weapon to go deeper as I try to drill his body.
Shocking with sudden attack, the Gryphon kick me with his back foot. I took a tumble in the nettles but I satisfied enough to wound the Gryphon. As long as I can hurt this creature, I have enough chance to survive here.
The Gryphon leak its shriek sound loudly. He try hard enough to remove the longsword but failed miserably. Hehehe, now I am weaponless but this cave ground still have enough weapons for me to pick it up. The Gryphon's eyes gaze me with hateful sight, is this what people said, the killing intent?!
I hurried to pick up new weapons. The spear in my right hand and the axe in my left hand. I believe a variety of weapons are needed to slaughter this beast.
I run faster toward him as he also charge heavily toward him. Then, before we clash together, I jump higher to gain high altitude advantage.
I use my body momentum as a power thrust to stab spear on it left wing and swing my axe on it right wing. Good, now both wings is temporarily disabled for flight duty. Hehe, you thought I am gonna rolled again, huh, idiot Gryphon.
I landed safely with both legs behind him. Then, I swiftly run from him as I try to pick new weapon again. The Gryphon now moan badly in painful voice as it lost both of it wings. Without waiting to waste time, I pick both swords in my hands. Now, I am confident enough to kill this damn creature.
The three weapons which stab deeper inside his body make the Gryphon become more cautious with me. Good, good, he failed to retrieve the weapons from his body. Now, be ready beast, I will skew you with more swords in my hands.
Maybe I don't have any weapon skill but I have high stamina equal to high performance athletes. Maybe I don't have any armour like these skeletons had in their rotten bodies but I have jumper suit that suitable for higher agility.
I still have my skydiving helmet to protect my skull. My parachute bag can protect my back from surprise attack. Now, I bet my life on these swords. I don't plan to prolong my fight anymore.
I held both swords on my sides waiting for Gryphon's movement. He let his war cry resonate loudly inside cave. Then he charge fastly toward me.
His inability to fly make Gryphon can only run toward enemy. Now I don't need to worry about flying beast because he will be dead.
The Gryphon move like a horse, he gallops wildly towards me. Before he arrive to slash me with his claws, I step aside in his left body and then I jump as an effort to climb his body. My athletic ability really help me to jump higher in short time.
Hohoho, now I am already seating behind his back. I quickly thrust my swords near to his neck. I believe this is critical point. Any critical hit can kill any creature. The Gryphon jerked his body up and down as his effort to eject me from riding position.
No, no, no, my hands still grip strongly the swords which have been stabbed deeply inside his neck. This wild shake can't pressure me to be dropped yet, even I try thrust the swords to go more deeper. Yeah, go deeper, kill this beast.
After a minute I try to clutch my body with Gryphon, finally he stop shaking and slowly fall on his side. Is he dead? Does the Gryphon finally let his final breath?
One way to know is I take sword from his neck on my right hand and then I stab the Gryphon a few times. No reaction. I believe he already become a corpse.
Hahahaha, I am successfully to avoid my death path. Now I can be alive again. Rather than die from impact of skydiving, my fate changed to die on Gryphon's claws. But I managed to slay the beast. Hopefully I can rest easily without need to kill any beast.
Where am I? Should I leave this cave right now? With who can I ask help? These questions not important. My eyes feel heavy. I believe I need a sleep. I need time to recover my wound and stamina.
Oh, now I feel this Gryphon's body is soft. His lion fur is really fluffy. Yo, Gryphon, let me use your body as my bed. Hehehe, now I completely surrender to my new "bed". Please, sleep beautifully myself.
