Without wasting any more time, the three of them moved into position. Jiro charged forward, his sword slashing at the griffin's legs, drawing its attention away from the wounded cultivators. The griffin let out a furious screech, swinging its massive talons at him, but Jiro was quick, dodging the blow and landing another strike on its flank.
Sera, from a distance, fired a volley of Spirit Arrows, each one hitting the griffin with precision. The arrows embedded themselves in its wings, hindering its ability to take flight. The beast flapped its wings furiously, trying to take off, but the injuries it had sustained were starting to take their toll.
Aric watched the fight unfold, his mind focused and calculating. Let them wear it down a little more, he thought. Once the timing is right, I'll step in and finish it.
