Chapter 5: Battling the Griffin

"Ambrose,I will need your help to defeat this thing"Alex called out.

Ambrose snapped out of it and started casting his spell.

A ferocious wild fire encircled him burning everything around him.The griffin was already in his attack radius so he was sure that he wasn't gonna come out of it unscathed

The griffin was caught off guard but he spread its wings and took to the air.His flight was a little unstable as part of its feathers had been burnt to crisp.It was angry and casted a powerful wind spell which wasn't familiar to Ambrose.He saw nothing but he felt very uneasy.

Alex black vein was ringing death alarms in his head.He instinctively shadow travelled.He then shadow travelled Ambrose.Immediately Ambrose left, everything where he was previously standing was shredded to pieces.

Simon told the summoner to call back his summoned beast but the summoner told him that it wasn't listening to him."The griffin has been enraged" said the summoner

The griffin cast several wind tornadoes at Alex and Ambrose. Alex wanted to shadow travel but he couldn't,he had run out of soul energy but could still cast the basic skill shadow wisps one more time."I'm out of soul energy"Alex notified Ambrose

Damnit, looks like I'm gonna have to be the hero here then . Ambrose shot several fireballs towards the numerous number of tornadoes headed their way.He knew that he couldn't cancel it all out but he was just hoping to reduce the damaging power.He brought out an artifact then activated it.Just as they were about to be swept away and shredded to pieces by the incoming attack a shield made out of light encompassed the two of them.

After the attack died down, blood was seeping out of Ambrose's mouth.He had covered Alex with his body so he took majority of the damage and the shield artifact had been destroyed.He collapsed on the ground

The griffin charged at them once again but Alex had no intention of dying neither did he intend to allow Ambrose to die.He waited until the griffin dove down from the sky hoping to attack with it's sharp and powerful talons.When death was almost in front of him,Alex used the last bit of energy he had left to cast shadow whips.Several whips were driven deep into the griffin's body.It screeched in pain with black blood oozing out of its wounds.
