Omega Summoner

Chapter 373 - Aerial Battles II

The griffins are unrelenting as one of their own got shot down. They wanted to punish the trespassers of their territory, but it seems that those same trespassers are powerful enough to contend with them. Griffins are proud creatures and call themselves as 'Lords of the Sky'.

The intense hailstorm that suddenly befell their area not only hindered their flight but also their vision. A few moments later, a scream from another griffon sounded. That griffon was hit by the wing which made it plummet down like the other one.

The griffin taking the lead knows that such attack would not be able to take them down which is why he did not command to save the two that fell. They would be back in the air after a few minutes of recuperating. The griffins that are left became even more determined to bring down their foes.

"Are they not afraid of dragons?" Solstice asked as she has seen other winged monsters steer clear of Kanlaon during their flight.

"The ones who fled upon seeing Kanlaon are probably just normal flying monsters. Griffins are monsters that re spoken about in legends. Also, their levels are 180 which is higher than Kanlaon so we are not going to survive if we stay here for long." Adrian stated as he kept firing arrows to gain more distance from the three griffons.

Adrian did not get a system notification that he got experience when he shot down two griffins, so he is sure that those two are still alive. Staying in their locations would only be disastrous because the two griffins would eventually return to get vengeance.

Suddenly, a sound of something like a jet could be heard from behind them. A loud thud happened, and Adrian is suddenly thrown off Kanlaon. Adrian immediately took flight using his wings so that he does not fall to the ground.

[You have been damaged by a Griffin.]

Adrian looked at his health and he lost 30% his health with the attack he received. He saw that the Griffin that attacked him is once again circling back to attack him. Before the Griffin's attack connects to Adrian, he used Blink to evade it and arrive back on Kanlaon.

Three more jet like sounds came from around them and he saw that the remaining griffins are now very serious in attacking. Solstice did not panic as she used more of her health to create a field full of bloody stars. Lycan also got ready to use the skill that can bring down aerial units.

Kanlaon stayed in place in fear of another one of his passengers falling. Adrian has no other choice but to try and shoot down the three griffins before the two that fell down came back. He wanted to aim at the Griffins but they were flying in an erratic pattern so Adrian could not predict where they will attack.

The bright side is that they became wary due to the bloody stars scattered in the air. One of them touched it and that griffin immediately got a bleeding status effect. The blood that came out from that griffin became a bloody star that protected them. The downside is that they cannot move from their location.

"Anyone has an idea on how we can escape from this place?" Adrian asked as he thought of summoning his other soulbounds but only Saena could be useful in this situation but even she would just get bullied. 

"If I summon Saena to heal our team then the griffins might focus their attack on him. The only way to escape is with a diversion." Adrian thought but then Solstice saw the weakness of the jet like Griffins.

"They cannot make sharp turns due to the speed they are flying. We can use that to our advantage when attacking." Solstice stated as they suddenly formulated a plan on how to deal with the remaining griffins.

The griffins did not stop using their Supersonic Speed as the archer perched on the dragon can shoot them down in their normal speed. Although using the skill Supersonic Speed takes a heavy toll on their stamina, the griffins would gladly sacrifice that in order to become victorious in their confrontation.

"The Hailstorm is no longer doing anything except damage them a little. We need to do the plan fast before they regain their original speeds." Adrian stated and the two nodded.

Solstice took back the blood stars and returned them to the liquid state as she needed her full health for what they are going to do next. Lycan then transformed his feet to that of a werewolf. Adrian then cast Chrono Sift on Lycan.

One of the Griffins saw that the air mine field has already receded and thought that the weak person that cast that can no longer sustain it. It smugly charged towards the man who smells like a wolf as it determined that one to be the weakest person there.

"Paradox, cast Chrono Lag on that Griffin." Adrian stated as the floating cube flew at a fast pace to and fired an orb with a small gear at the Griffin.

The Griffin suddenly slowed down a lot in its flight which made the remaining two charge towards Adrian's group as they know that their slowed down companion would be struck down, but they were already far too late.

"Smack Down!" Lycan shouted as he was already on top of the griffin.

His spiked knuckles hit the griffin's head clearly which made it become bloody and it made it lose consciousness. The slowed down Griffin plummeted to the ground while its blood was collected by Solstice. She then forged the blood into a spear and shot it at one of the Griffins.

The griffin that she shot the blood spear was not able to avoid the spear because her blood weapons possess the special ability of the individual whose blood was used. The Griffin leader is left but it did not back down as it tried to kill Lycan who was now free falling.

"Quantum Cascade" Adrian cast its modified version where it can only pull one person.

Adrian pulled Lycan back to their location and the Griffin leader could only glare at them with anger.
