There was no time to be surprised or offer praise. Lyle’s petite body danced like it had been blown away by a squall and shot forward from the inertia. The gryphon immediately flipped over her body with a ‘fwooosh’. Trying to catch up with the falling Lyle, she immediately descends with a frantic face.
“AaaaaaaahhhhhhHHHH!”
Falling from 2000m in the air, the four of them passed through multiple thin membranes of air. Lyle immediately activated his Dragon scales hardening, wind clad and Body Strengthening. Lyle thought that this is no time to conserve his mana so he used all of it to strengthen his defense. But still he knows all of this isn’t enough, if a miracle happen and he survived he would still suffer huge damage, but he steeled his will. No matter what he would survive this he thought.
However, a miracle did happened to him. In a flash something passed in front of him and he was able to got on top of it!
“Urgh! It’s huuurts.... the pain is a sign that I'm still alive huh. Haa〜, thank god... Which reminds me, on top of what did I land? It’s feels strangely rugged though....”
“ART THOU CRAZY HUMAN!? WHAT THE HELL ART THOU DOING? JUMPING JUST LIKE THAT!? WHAT IF THOU WILL DIE!? ART THOU CRAZY, FOOLISH HUMAN!?”
Wondering about where he safely landed, he lifts his head to see. But what greeted him was a loud voice that seems to even shake the whole world. The gryphon wasn’t very happy with his actions. No she was so mad that her temples are turning red, and if it is possible, she would really emit smoke in her head.
The gryphon’s roar proved to have impossibly massive power. It was so loud that it shook the air and the whole forest under them. Lyle fearfully rolled into a ball like a little child at the top of the gryphons back.
“But you said that you will forgive me if I do it!”
Lyle couldn’t continue standing. Faced with the heartless reproach from the gryphon as well as the golden aura emitted from her body, he was so shocked that he fell with his butt on its back. What gryphon used was the divine aura that can only be used by a being who reached the Deity rank. She hadn’t used it before because she wanted to fight Lyle in equal terms, but now because of her anger she unconsciously used it.
After hearing what Lyle said, she seemed to realize that it was also her fault to begin with. She shook her head and calm down. She faced Lyle again and said
“*sigh* this one understand that this one was also at fault. But thou should also be blamed; no one in their right minds would really jump from this height just because someone told them.”
Lyle was startled from the words spoken by the gryphon.
“I know, but to make it up to you, I need to do it! I just can’t forgive myself if I live forgetting what I have done!”
‘This human….’
Lyle stood up shakily. Though his brain was still ringing from the reverberations comparable to a percussion instrument, he ignored it with his willpower. Watching this, the gryphon’s eyes lit up. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment and astonishment. Lyle’s unyielding determination as well as his unwavering willpower greatly amazed her.
‘Maybe this human can do it? After living for so long, this one only felt emptiness and left this one unsatisfied! This one felt something lacking, but maybe this human can give me that something.’
After a slight hesitation, the gryphon said
“……….It’s fine! But thou said that thou shall give thou life to this one, right?”
“Eh? Y-yes, I never go back on my word!”
If the gryphon can smile using her beak then maybe just now, she just smiled. She shook her head, then smiled wryly and flapped her wings three times out of embarrassment.
“Then thou life shall be mine!”
“What?”
“I said thou life shall be mine! But thou shall not worry for this one doesn’t plan on making thou a servant! What this one meant is to make thou mine, body, soul and heart! Thou shall take responsibility for what thou have done!”
“Eh? Responsibility? B-but I-I’m a human, ah no maybe not a human, a demi-dragon though. But still ----!”
“Oh, is that thou worrying?”
As if she realized something, she slowly descends and landed on the ground. She urged Lyle to get down and back away. After confirming that Lyle back off in a safe distance she started.
A layer of intense pale light abruptly erupted out from all over her body, the gryphon’s front legs simultaneously spread to either side, throwing out her voluptuous chest, the entire body’s skeleton making a cracking sound, her lion-like body abruptly shrinking becoming a body that of a woman. Every muscle in her body became exceedingly distinct revealing a perfect curvaceous body, even the atmosphere at her side seemed to already become more beautiful and majestic.
The gryphon became a beautiful young woman with long brown hair and brown eyes. She has huge voluptuous chest and her body has a perfect curve. But the only problem is, she is naked.
“Wha!?”
Lyle cried out in alarm, expression immediately somewhat flustered. he immediately turned around with his face beet red from embarrassment.
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
“How?” he asked while facing his back from her.
“Hahaha this is nothing! This one is a deity rank mythical beast! Some beasts can transform into a human once they reached Deity rank!”
“R-really?”
Lyle didn’t know that. Of course, no one ever saw a deity rank beast before and even if someone saw them, they didn’t live longer enough to say it. Although Lyle knew about it because of his otaku knowledge which is outside of this world, he isn’t sure about it. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, the guilt and sadness in his eyes just a while ago vanished but was replaced by astonishment. He was so excited like a child who found a new toy to play with.
“Of course! So there should have no problem right? This one is the same with thou if this one is in this form!”
“B-but still……ahhh muuuu!!! Fine just return back to being a gryphon right now!”
“hahahaha good!”
She said while her body emitting a blinding light and she became a gryphon. Lyle turn around and faced her. His face serious
“T-that is… gryphon-san ---“
“Sheila, call this one Sheila!”
“Eh? Ah okay! Sheila you know, even if you say I will become yours, I don’t think that will be okay!”
“What? What art thou mean? Thou not satisfied with this one?”
Her eyes glaring at him.
“No! I didn’t say that! What I mean is, because of some circumstances, I think I will attract much attention towards others! And there are also things I need and want to do, so I don’t think I can be with you all the time!”
What Lyle meant is the blessing or curse given to him by Venus. Although he was like a protagonist of some novel because of his experiences, he wasn’t oblivious in relation to love.
“hm? This one doesn’t understand thou, but if what this one was thinking is thou problem, then thou shall not worry for this one is fine as long as thou know thou art mine. This one is satisfied as long as thou shall come when this one needs thou!”
Is what she said. Hearing this carefree response, Lyle was dumbfounded he doesn’t know whether he wanted to cry or laugh.
“Eh, ah etto….”
Lyle was speechless and don’t know what to say. Meanwhile Sheila the gryphon walked towards him and said
“Here, come on we’ll get out of this place.”
“Why?”
“I felt that something is wrong in this place! In the first place, I was leaving when you suddenly came out and ride me!” she said while lowering her body so that Lyle can easily get on her back.
Without hesitation Lyle immediately climbs. After confirming that Lyle was now on her back sitting, she immediately set off and flies. Once again just like before Lyle was feeling over the roof.
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooooo!!! Sheila faster, faster!!!! Hahahaha saikoooooo!”
Lyle hug the back of the gryphon while shouting because of the happiness he felt. If the gryphon can blush then it might did it. As if doing it intentionally just to be hug, the gryphon always flying while rotating her body.
Lyle was very happy; flying like that for him is really comfortable and thrilling. The winds blowing with just the right power, and the sunlight is also warm. He was really enjoying it, but then suddenly
“””Giyuaaaa!!!”””
Three birds are approaching from behind them. Their beak and talon are strangely big. When the three of them raise their cry, a fireball is generated and flies toward them. When the fireball was about to hit them, the gryphon was ascending with a *whoosh!*. The gryphon rotated to the left side, then after she evaded the fireball the gryphon return flying horizontally doing a barrel roll.
It should have been great, but what she didn’t expect was Lyle falling. When she rotated to evade the fireball, Lyle fell off her back.
The gryphon desperately looks for Lyle, and when she saw him, she immediately nosedived to catch him but she was stopped because of the barrage of fireballs approaching her. When she looks again, Lyle was nowhere to be seen. Maybe the wind blow him or maybe he’s far down there already that she can see him, but what’s important is she cannot see him anymore and worst he was falling, he might die.
Panic and anger swelled on her heart. She turns around and faces the three giant birds flying towards her
“THIS ONE WILL KILL THOU! DAMN! DAMN BIRDS!!! THIS ONE WILL GONNA SLICE THOU TO PIECES AND MAKE THOU REGRET JUST WHAT THOU DID!!! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! DAMN ITTTTTTTT!”
Sheila’s face was dyed with red with anger. Her mind was full of worry and frustration! Her whole body was emitting her divine aura.
Though it was too late, the three birds suddenly turned back and tried to flee because they had noticed that they had picked a fight against someone they must not. But, they couldn’t move because of the killing intent the gryphon was emitting as well as the divine aura, so they couldn’t escape.
“““GiyuaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA!!!”””
Shriek of agony resounded in the entire enchanted forest. Some of the demonic beast who heard it immediately hide and not dare to show themselves.
