The man is waving his spear and in between them, a big bird appears. Daesun knows it isn't just a simple bird and he has seen Sungmi turn into this animal several times: it's a griffin.Â
"You forget that I can fight."
This place is quiet, Daesun feels relieved about it, that maybe humans won't see weird things happen here. He takes out his bow and aims it to the griffin. The griffin is flying high and Daesun released the arrow... but it missed the target. He blinks. Something is wrong with me, he thought.
"The more you use the energy, the faster you'll die," the man said.
Daesun can see a green aura on the man's right hand. What is that? Daesun thought, I don't know anything about it. The griffin charged downward and Daesun tried to dodge, but the griffin's claw scratched his left leg, leaving a long scratch on his thigh. Blood soon flowed out of the wound.
"My speed... I'm getting slow. What happened to me?"
"Like I told you. If you tell me where the guardians' hideout is, I might spare your life."
"I won't betray them for my life."
"Then the life of the only water guardian they have will end here."
As he waves his spear, the griffin charges again.
"ATTACKING SHIELD!"
