Nial watched the battle on the ground for quite a while before he realized that no side was really at an advantage. 

The Gryphons were fewer in number but their physical strength was not to be underestimated. The razor-sharp talons of a Gryphon's front legs dug deep in the body of the thunder shrouded four meter tall wolf, which howled out in pain while releasing a high amount of high-voltage lightning.

They injured each other like this, and the same scenario could be seen in several places all over the battlefield that had formed.

The six-meter-tall blazing bear was the fiercest intruder and was fighting the strongest of the four Gryphons. It tried to grasp one of the Gryphon's wings to tear them apart before it would do the exact same with the Gryphon's remaining body.

Fortunately, the Gryphon was able to evade most attacks, if one excluded one or two fireballs that impacted on the Gryphon's chest and back.
