[Novel] The Mirror [Chapter 7 (4/4)]

"Cool, let me showcase my talent more."

"I wanna fight too. Why did the princess not let me fight?"

All happen in a flash - Minjoon is using his teleport ability to grab Joochan by his arm then teleport again - to the other corner of the hall. 

"Please just focus on protecting yourself for now, hyeong," pleaded Minjoon, "you're our hope of safety."

"Oops, I'm sorry."

Minjoon jumps away again to slash a big rock before attacking the cyclops. Joochan is running here and there to avoid big rocks, but the sound of small squeaks distracted him. He runs to the source of the sound - another corner in the hall - where he found five small creatures - apparently it's a group of young griffins. The size of each of them is just a little larger than Joochan's palm, as he lifts up one of them, but he can feel its sharp claw. 

"Why are you guys here? Where is your mom? Outside of this hall? We can exit this hall if only we can defeat the cyclops," said Joochan to the griffin on his palm, "so will you guys help us? But don't get hurt. Even if it happens, come to me and I'll heal you."

Joochan is smiling widely as the small griffins fly high towards the cyclops and start to attack them fiercely despite their small size. 

"Hyeong, you DO fight!" complimented Hyunki as he and one of the griffins collaborate to attack one cyclops.

"I forgot at least I can talk with the animals," said Joochan while smiling proudly as one by one the cyclops defeated.

"KICHUL!"
