Chapter 84

"Hey you!! I'll definitely make horse sashimi out of you!!"

Unable to get close, I couldn't help but raise my voice.

This frustration, I absolutely have to eat the hippogriff's meat to feel satisfied!

A hippogriff has the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a horse. Yes, a horse! When you say horse, you think of horse sashimi!!

"What the hell is horse sashimi!!"

"Raw horse meat!! It's thinly sliced and eaten without cooking!"

"You eat it raw!! That's some weird stuff!"

"Don't insult sashimi! You eat it with olive oil, salt, and lemon juice! It's delicious, as long as the meat is fresh!"

While dodging the hippogriff's wind pressure, Nebel and I argued about what parts of the hippogriff were edible.

We weren't just joking around because we had the luxury. We had to do it or we couldn't handle it.

Why do I have to face such a large magical beast on my first battle?!

My plan was to hunt a horn rabbit or a nargle fox and give the horns and fur to Ignats and the queen as souvenirs.

And to give the magic stones from my first hunt to the old men.

But you've ruined everything!!

"The shallow layer isn't your territory!! Stay in the deep layer!! Damn you!!"

My inner voice leaked out. But it wasn't just me. Everyone was shouting and cursing the hippogriff while attacking it.

The hippogriff shook its head and flapped its wings, releasing another gust of wind.

Come on, do something about this wind pressure! I can't get close!

"Damn it!! Calm down!!"

Hilt swung his claymore and cut through the wind pressure released by the hippogriff! Incredible! As expected of the secret weapon of the Württemberg family, known for producing many swordsmen!

Hilt continued to cut through the wind pressure one after another.

Yes! He sealed off that troublesome wind pressure!

"Everyone, attack together!!"

At Fairvalter's call, everyone attacked the hippogriff's front legs. But it's still tough!!

The hippogriff, realizing that its wind attacks were ineffective, clicked its beak.

"Kya Kya Kya Kya"

Is something coming?!

Inside the hippogriff's open mouth, a greenish light orb was visible.

"No way!"

It's going to spit that out?!

"I won't let you!!"

Hedda fired a series of light arrows, this time with a reddish hue, into the hippogriff's mouth, causing explosions one after another.

Do those light arrows have different attributes based on their color?!

The hippogriff couldn't spit out the light and was slowed down by the explosions in its mouth.

"Al! I'll hold its neck, you get it!"

Nebel, who had put away his sword, took out a rope dart and was charging it with magic while swinging the dart attached to the end of the rope.

He aimed the magic-charged dart at the hippogriff's neck, but it hit the chest.

"KyaAAAAAA!!"

The hippogriff let out a roar and tried to shake its head.

"Whoa!"

"Nebel!!"

Hilt, Theo, and Kurt clung to Nebel, who was being dragged away. But they're too light to be a weight?!

"Don't let go!"

Pete ran to Nebel and grabbed the rope with him.

"Treff!!"

At Pete's call, Treff also took out a rope dart, and this time the dart hit the neck.

"Master!! Cut the neck!"

He climbed up the trees and jumped up, then charged his magic into the blade of 'Dawn'...

He swung 'Dawn' at the hippogriff's neck.

The blade of 'Dawn' cut through the skin and flesh. The sensation of cutting through flesh made my skin tingle. But I'll cut through it!

It's hard! What?!

"Bone?!"

"Master! Don't let the magic flow stop! Keep swinging!"

Following Fairvalter's words, I kept the magic flowing and swung through, but the bone blocked it.

"Phew, hahaha! It's so hard!!"

I couldn't finish it! I staggered as I landed.

"We can do it again!!"

Whose voice? Probably Treff said it!

"KyaAAAAAA!!"

The hippogriff's roar made my ears ring. But I can't stop here?!

This time from below! Dodging the occasional wind pressure, I jumped up from the hippogriff's feet and swung 'Dawn' at its neck.

The sensation of cutting through flesh made my skin tingle again, but this time I'll cut through the bone!!

"Uryaaaaa!"

It's hard! The bone! Put more magic into the blade!

"Fall down!!"

As I swung 'Dawn', the hippogriff's head fell!

"Al!!"

Instead of cheers, it was Nebel's worried voice.

"Wha, what?!"

As if in its final struggle, the hippogriff flapped its wings, and my body soared through the air.

"Al!!"

Nebel, who had already let go of the rope dart, jumped up and grabbed my arm, but this time I felt something pulling me from behind.

What is this?

"Master!!"

Fairvalter, Pete, and Treff's worried voices.

"Al!"

"Master Albert! Nebel!"

Theo and Kurt's surprised voices.

"Master Albert!! Nebel!! No!! No way! Me too!"

"Hilt! You can't!!"

Hilt's voice, on the verge of tears, and Hedda's voice trying to hold him back.

As I heard everyone's voices, my vision flipped.
