Chapter 87.2. Iâll Show You The Rider Power!
âDie, little brat!â
[Fiery Sky Blade]
He points the tip of his magic wand, which resembles a mechanical long rifle, at me as I flee. As the wandâs tip glows, a green magic circle is drawn and released a blade of wind.
âRapid rise!â
âKueee!â
The griffon followed my instruction, tilting its body and flying straight up. Under the fierce wind pressure and rapid acceleration, I clutch the griffonâs fluffy fur with my tiny hands to keep it from falling off. I donât feel any wind pressure. Oh, so itâs a game specification. Iâm sure I wasnât affected by wind pressure in the game when I was flying through the air.
The wind blades approach from behind at high speed. Zephyrus must have seen how fast the griffon was and thought that a big move would be hard to hit if it didnât create an opening. He was shooting a steady barrage of rapid-fire type magic.
Hundreds of wind blades flew as if released from an assault rifle. However, unlike bullets, the wind blades produced by the magic circle were coming at me in huge, guillotine-like blades that were two meters long, and it looked bad if I get hit.
âYou have a good fighting sense, donât you? â¦â¦ So the Martian was Zephyrus.â
I puff out my cheeks and frown as I glance at the wind blade passing behind me.
Zephyrus was indeed an idiot. Heâs not just an idiot, but a battle idiot. He was the kind of enemy character youâd expect to see in a novel that challenges the protagonist to a fight without reading the atmosphere.
Takano Arashi. Heâs the same. His base level is high, his fighting sense is high and does not read the air. And heâs a wind magician like Zephyrus. Iâm glad I noticed that. Oh, so Zephyrus was a Martian.
Iâm convinced that because heâs not from Earth, heâs been fighting so many battles without reading the air, but the wind blade catches up with me and hits the griffon. The griffonâs fur is cut open, and fresh blood dances around.
âPredictive fire. Meandering⦠No, I can do it!â
Here, Takano Miu is an awakening! Thatâs not to say. There are things I can do with game specifications, no problem.
âGuu-chan, Iâll take control of Guu-chan, right?â
âKueee!â
Imagine operating Guu-chan, who cries out that she understands.
[Will you be the rider?]
[Yes]
There were times in the game when I rode a motorcycle or sky horse. Flying is ironclad in games. And I didnât give commands to the sky horse. I operated it directly with the lever.
Thatâs what I thought I could do in real life.
âWhoa!â
I maneuvered Guu-chan with my thoughts to evade the wind blade that was shooting at me predictably. It stops flying straight up and flies diagonally, rolling to the left.
âDo Iâll let you away!!â
Zephyrus keeps up the chase, firing a barrage of shots, and we both get hit by some of the wind blades. Heâs an enemy with good taste.
I get a cut on my shoulder, and Guu-chan a lot of wounds, but Iâm okay.
âIâm not so weak as to be shot down by a rapid-fire type.â
While rubbing my nose, I continue my flight, intricately changing Guu-chanâs trajectory. The damage difference is a lot for rapid-fire type magic. It was the same in the game. And during the [Run Away] command, Iâm also in defense mode. When these two things are combined, the damage is nothing. I have wounds, and itâs painful, but itâs just an appearance.
Instead, I have to fight at a high altitude. Zephyrus was the type that didnât like to kill civilians, but he didnât mind if they were involved. The only means he would choose for his objective was pure combat, but if other people were an obstacle. He would kill them.
I couldnât just avoid a fierce sky-blade passing by on the ground. It would hit the people looking at the sky if it was something from the ground. The same goes for other magic. Guu-chan must always go above Zephyrus.
âRelentless!â
[Cyclone Thrust]
Realizing that the furious sky-blade wonât hold us back, Zephyrus switches magic. He unleashes [Cyclon Thrust] and tries to cut us down with a tornado storm.
He maintains [Cyclone Thrust] and directs his magic at us as if heâs going to mow us. Even Guu-chan would look like a vegetable in a blender if it got caught in it. The tornado is approaching us.
[Stop]
I slam on the brakes and bring Guu-chan to a stop.
âWhat!â
I ignore the startled Zephyrus, and let it spin and roll, flying to the other side. The griffon isnât flying on its wings. The wings are only an aid. The griffon created the flight itself. Thatâs why they can behave in such an impossible way, like UFOs. Even Martians had the same high-speed maneuvers, right?
Rising from acceleration. Rolling with a drop in speed at once. Magic never hits Guu-chan, which has complex maneuvers. Itâs as expected of Anemoiâs quickness. If it were the original griffon, it would be impossible.
âTsk!â
Zephyrus gives up using magic and chases after me. Thatâs what I thought he would do. I was sure he would think so.
The best way to defeat me would be to get close and attack with Zephyrusâ Feather Broom.
âBut thatâs where his fighting sense comes in handy.â
Our destination is already in sight.
âGuu-chan, maximum acceleration!â
âKwah!â
Following my voice, Guu-chan descends to the destination.
Weâre going into the forest of Takano Countyâs main house.
Sorry to disturb you. The lovely head of the family is here~.
