4 – Subjugating the Red Griffon

Thanks to the village headman calling all the townsfolk, the hall quickly became crowded.

“Then, let’s start the meeting with the hero.”

It was an expression of life in his eyes, as if he really had hope that he might defeat him this time.

“I apologize for the rudeness earlier. I thought the young student didn’t know how precious his life was and was just trying to play a hero, but I didn’t know such a noble person.”

I’m not used to this kind of treatment, so I just shook my hand and said let’s get down to business.

Meanwhile, a person who appears to be the chief’s wife brought a white board taller than her height.

“First of all, the janitors.”

Good!

Photos are uploaded on the white board.

“A C-class low-class eagle beast.”

A wild bird with large wings and no special features. It’s the same as in the novel. In fact, it doesn’t matter if these guys are different.

“Do I really need to explain these guys? Even the villagers can catch them.”

“Everything has an order. Then, let’s take a look at the leader of these monsters.”

Good!

A photo of a red griffon, in the center of the photos of various miscreants, only the shape of which is hidden by the clouds has been uploaded.

“An unknown beast that flies in the sky. It temporarily resembles a griffon, so I named it the Red Griffon. I’ll explain why it’s red later.”

Ah, was it the village chief who gave the name Red Griffon? I didn’t know this. Although the artist’s word tmi has been given the name Griffon, it is a completely different creature. I was just saying this

“But you managed to take a picture. It wouldn’t have been easy since he was a guy who roams the sky.”

“Heh heh. I used to be a wizard too. Now I’m a pretty old man with no hair and can’t even catch a beast. When I was a student…”

As he tried to get into another story, the wife of the head next to him stopped him by clearing his throat.

“There are two things to be careful about. The first is that it is estimated to be S-class as a result of the monster grade measurement…”

The chief looks at me.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes. I came prepared. Please tell me the second reason next.”

“Okay. You’re a hero!”

S-class, so far the same as the original setting.

But I don’t know yet. If it differs from what I know, it will be a big problem, so I decided to listen more to the words of the chief.

“The second one. The shield that surrounds it. This is the problem.”

The chief brought a stick and pointed it at the picture. If you look closely, you can see a red shield around the griffon.

“When you meet them in real life, you can see them very clearly… The picture is very… Do you see them well? Hero? Because of this red film, we put the name ‘Red’ in front of them.”

“I see.”

That’s good. I guess it’s not that different from what I used to know.

“All the talented wizards tried so hard to break that shield, but they all went to nothing…”

Many wizards died because of Red Griffon. With those words added, the atmosphere became gloomy. Then an old lady trembled in her voice and said:

“Can we really subdue this time? The days of peaceful farming are now like a dream…”

I found out that it was not different from the setting in the novel, so I decided to comfort you.

“There’s nothing good about being excited, but it’s absolutely possible.”

I came here thinking it was a winnable fight in the first place. Only fight to win Of course.

“Then I’m really glad…”

“Residents, let’s believe in our heroes!”

Wow!

As the village chief raised his hands toward the ceiling, the residents followed suit and cheered. It seems that the village is getting a little more vitality now.

“It looks nice. Let’s go right away. Oh, before that, are there any apples left in this town?”

“Yes. Yes. Fortunately, there was a field that was less damaged, so I harvested it. Are you really hungry? Have dinner…”

“No. I’m going up to the top of the mountain to use them as bait.”

Current time 5pm.

They are most active after 6pm, after the sun goes down. So, you should go straight to the mountain and release the bait before night falls. You can’t fight in the middle of town.

Did you say that rural people are generous? He brought 3 of them out of the box.

“Is this enough? I gathered all the apples from all over town.”

“Yes, you can.”

But how do you carry all of that? Do you want to go into your inventory? As if reading my troubled expression, the village chief said this.

“Wouldn’t it be necessary to have a porter and guide? At night, even the hills in the neighborhood could be dangerous.”

It definitely makes sense. Even if you know the original novel, you don’t know such a hiking trail in a village on the outskirts. I couldn’t even find the 1st grade auditorium until a few days ago.

It would be difficult if I took her and became a burden for no reason. He added that he might have read my thoughts.

“Didn’t I just tell you. I used to be a wizard too. I still have the skills to protect myself.”

“Is that so?”

I tried to intimidate her by saying that if I grabbed her by the ankle, she might throw it away, but she confidently countered it.

“This is what I was hoping for.”

“Okay. Then let’s go together.”

The village head went into the room and brought something.

“I’m sorry, grandma… I didn’t want to take this staff out again.”

“Don’t hold poo poo and take care of yourself. No matter what happens, life is the most important thing. Students knew that too, right?”

I nodded and went straight up the mountain trail.

***

Halfway up the mountain.

I am more tired than I thought. It was the first time I regretted taking a picture of my physical stats.

“Whoa…”

Shouldn’t you have gotten the speed skill first instead of the sky’s eye? Before I even meet the Witch, I will collapse while riding the mountain.

“If you only climb this uphill road, the rest will be flat, so it will be much easier.”

It’s much easier… Before that, I’m going to run out of breath while going uphill. It shouldn’t be like this. What number should I write?

The thing that caught my eye at that time was a bladed sword with gusts of fangs wrapped around its waist. A gust of blades, literally wind. If you hit the ground with the right angle, won’t it go up like a booster? In a word, riding the storm.

“Why do you do that? hehehe. Shall we take a 5-minute break? Come to think of it, I heard that young people these days don’t exercise much because they use smartphones or something.”

It’s a bit risky, but it’s worth a try.

“Chief, please step back for a moment.”

“Yes? Has the Witchbeast appeared?”

After reassuring me that it wasn’t like that, I drew my sword. The Witchbeast’s base is far away from here, so you won’t even notice that we’re here as we emit magic from the middle of the hill.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

I took a few deep breaths and imagined myself flying nicely as an image training. Go upstairs first and rest for a while until the chief comes. A perfect plan.

‘Gazua!’

Kwaaang!

I struck the ground behind my feet with a blade blast sword. Then, with a tremendous roar, it was swept up in a gust of wind with the momentum to really fly up to the sky.

“aaagh!”

“Oh. Hero rides around on a sword. Has the trend changed recently? We rode on a staff or a broomstick…”

The head’s voice gradually fades. It must have risen that high. But how do you land this? Bang with both feet really ignorantly! Landed

“Ugh.”

It feels like using electric magic on both legs.

[Luck has been activated.]

[HP 30 has been reduced.]

[Remaining HP: 70.]

Luck was activated, but my health was reduced by 30? Okay. If you do this one more time, you will die. Let’s walk normally until we get the speed skill. Then the head came up.

“Heh heh. I’ve never seen movement magic at this speed in my entire life.”

I tried it for the first time too.

“If you use it roughly like this, it must have put a lot of strain on your body. Seeing that you’re not doing anything wrong, it seems that I wasn’t mistaken in seeing you as a hero.”

I could have died if I made a mistake. However, the facial expression pretended to be nothing and got to the point.

“How far are you from reaching the top?”

“Yes. There may be cunning C-class eagle beasts in the sky. Be careful.”

As soon as the words of this chapter are finished, a low-ranking eagle appears in the sky. As if he had found us, he too was pacing around the sky, waiting for the right moment.

Shuuuk!

As if trying to peck me with its beak, it rushes from the sky in an instant.

Seoguk-

[You defeated a C-class low-level eagle beast!]

[You have acquired SP 1.]

He really gives a lot.

I just brushed off the blood on my sword because I didn’t think it would be cool to hold a C-class beast and get in shape.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes.”

In this way, one by one, C-class monsters, one by one, piled up the spoils and walked towards .

***

On top of the mountain.

The stars in the night sky look so pretty, probably because it’s in the countryside. The problem is that some of them could be witch eyes. I asked the chief to take out the apple box.

I decided to wait for the Red Griffon of the S-class sky to appear soon with three apple boxes in the center of the top.

“But wouldn’t the other monsters try to eat it first? Organize a little more…”

He answered with his staff clenched.

“There’s no need to do that. They’re hierarchical, so they won’t touch the food the captain likes.”

“I see. Somehow… Come to think of it, those bastards, especially, didn’t want to eat apples. How did you know?”

“They’re C-class low-level eagle beasts. They’re all listed in the encyclopedia.”

It was roughly covered.

“It would have been much easier if it had been registered in the Demonic Capital Encyclopedia with an estimated grade of S.”

“I’ll catch it and register it.”

He ripped off a lot of books in the name of registration fees for the encyclopedia to the Masters Association.

“I’m confident. Hero.”

“But did the poison work on him?”

His stomach was so strong that he digested even the most advanced poison magic. I didn’t know, so I asked the manager one more time.

“No. I’ve tried it several times, but the poison didn’t work at all. If the poison worked, I wouldn’t have come all the way to the board of directors… But I think the world is still worth living. Seeing that there are people like students.”

At that time, I felt alive in the sky and looked up. As if I wasn’t the only one feeling it, the chief was also looking up.

“You’re here.”

It’s floating in the sky very far away, but it looks so big that it can’t be compared to C-class guys. I can see why it’s called a griffon even though it’s not a griffon.

Huge wings, beak and claws. In addition, a red shield that seems to have absorbed his blood surrounds him. In fact, the ship looked more threatening than the original setting.

“Coo uh uh!”

The demon’s cries resound from the sky. However, it is not approaching hastily as if counting down.

“Normally, he would charge to peck at you with his beak… Is it because of the mana flowing through your sword?”

No matter what it is, it must be dangerous.

“I can’t save you no matter what happens, so you have to take care of yourself.”

“Of course!”
