The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 90
Griffin (3)
A canyon where strong winds, like a storm, rush in, creating eddies.
The phenomenon, so frenzied and violent that it did not allow anyone to stand upright, looked similar to a scene seen in a distant country, only on a smaller scale.
And only I, in the midst of the typhoon that seemed to break even this heart, was able to finally be free.
I slowly began to open my mouth.
“No matter what you say, it’s still a monster.”
Also, in a soft and leisurely voice.
“It’s amazing how easily you fall for the bait, even though you were aware of the danger.”
Then he slowly stretched out his right arm.
Since they were within the wind’s influence, it was no different from saying that they were already within my firing range.
Woooooooooo-!
In an instant, a powerful magical power was released from his right arm and stretched out, containing the element of wind.
A gust of wind so clear it was visible to the eye. It pierced through the air and headed towards the griffons, and soon began to pull their bodies towards the ground as if it were grabbing them from the air.
It is falling, unable to withstand the rapidly changing flow of fluid.
And the fate of those who lost their greatest weapon, their wings, was obvious.
Swoosh!
Kyaak!
thud!
They fell at a very fast rate, proving the saying that if your wings don’t work, you’re doomed to fall.
Of course, the moment it hit the ground, it quickly came to its senses and spread its wings again. It had the tenacity of a monster.
But that didn’t mean there was any way to escape from the wind element that had taken control of the supply.
The heavens were no longer on their side.
And my eyes widened with delight as I looked at those guys.
“Onggi Jonggi, thank goodness we’re all huddled together so it’s easy to deal with.”
Wooooow-!
The wind condensing on the sword mixed with the aura, instantly creating a red whirlwind.
It wasn’t just a breeze.
The aura and the wind power flowing from the patterns on the sword clash as if in a fight.
They push each other away, push each other down, and reject each other as if they are not acknowledging each other.
But soon, this began to come together forcibly by my ‘will’.
Phagejik-
And at the moment when it condensed and took on a complete form, the aura and magical power began to rub together, creating a huge storm feast.
… …
Silence fills the space for a moment. But soon after.
Kwakwakwakwang!!
A maddening roar that spread out in all directions.
… … and there was nothing left where the shot wave passed.
The giant tree that protected the colony, the insects that flew up when they heard the noise, and the griffons that were struggling all disappeared without leaving a trace.
A single strike that mixes the power of the Sword King with pure elements.
Even the great wizard was astonished, for it was a power that a mere monster could not withstand.
“Not bad.”
And as I watched that scene, I muttered with satisfaction.
However, all that was falling were traces of aura and magic power that fell like firecrackers.
* * *
“You’re late.”
I asked someone approaching from behind without even turning my head.
“The captured object.”
Although he was caught in the wind’s power and was defeated in vain, the griffon was not an easy opponent.
Wasn’t he the ruler of the sky anyway? It’s possible that he was wounded forcibly during the process of capturing him without a magician.
But George, who had joined the knights, answered without much emotion.
“The mat is really great. It’s flapping around fine now.”
“I see.”
At least he got hit in the head and passed out, but it was said that there was no problem at all.
My gaze turned to George, who was approaching from behind.
“There won’t be any damage to the knights, right?”
“There must have been at least one person who sprained their back while carrying an unconscious griffon.”
“… … .”
As I followed George with my eyes narrowed, I saw the captured griffon and the iron bars that were holding it in.
But, contrary to George’s testimony that he was flapping around fine, the boy froze and shivered as soon as he saw me approaching.
And the knights couldn’t help but be perplexed as they watched the griffon become quiet in an instant.
“Hey, why is it like this?”
“Is there something wrong… … .”
… … Huh?
George started poking the creature’s torso with something like a long stick, thinking that perhaps he was faking it, but the creature remained frozen in place as if it were dead.
Of course, I could easily guess the reason.
‘It’s because of the power of the wind.’
The attack, which combined the power of the aura and the elements, was literally a storm of life and death.

Since it was right after using something like that, it was highly likely that the killing intent was flowing out unconsciously.
It was only natural that the griffons flying in the sky would sense the power of the wind… … What the guy would see would probably be a human approaching him, wrapped in wind mixed with murderous intent.
It’s like a death messenger.
… … It wasn’t exactly a bad situation.
“Open the bars.”
“Your Majesty? What do you mean… … .”
The knights looked puzzled and asked back, as if they had misheard.
But faster than that was George, who was fiddling around for the key to the iron cage.
“This, this… … !”
Clank-
And then the iron gate opened. The knights jumped and crouched, startled by the noise behind them.
However, the guy still wasn’t moving at all.
George looked at me and shrugged his shoulders as if to ask, “What are you going to do now?”
“I finally caught it, so you’re going to let it go?”
“… … .”
He didn’t bother to answer. Instead, he simply swung his sword and completely tore down the iron bars that were imprisoning him.
Crunch-
Kyaaaaak-!
As soon as the iron bars collapsed, the creature’s wings spread wide. Then, it quickly leaped up and glided in place.
The fear deep in those eyes… … .
The guy looked at me for a moment and then quickly disappeared into the sky. He was moving so fast that his large body was barely visible as a dot.
“Hmm.”
… … Well, it’s neat.
I looked at the sight, then turned around. Then I took back my sword and gave instructions.
“Chasing the guy.”
“… … You finally let go of what you caught, and now you’re going to chase it again?”
“I’ll move first, so you can follow me with your knights.”
“Ha… … Are you saying something unintelligible again?”
Pot-!
I kicked the ground without answering the guy.
At the same time, the wind reached out and wrapped itself around my legs, and the moment my body jumped, the power of the wind gently pushed my body up.
Even though it was a situation where he had to overcome obstacles in the forest, he moved like a fluid, overcoming them all.
After moving like that for a while, the guy I had been sensing the whole time began to rapidly sink to the ground.
Of course, it would not be a colony where only traces of fellows remain.
The corners of my mouth went up in a twisted manner.
‘also.’
Think back to the situation just now.
There were only males in the colony. However, in order for animals to reproduce, males and females must be together.
So where on earth are the rest of the females now?
‘Animals in danger awaken their instinct to preserve their species.’
And then a clear crisis loomed over him: a human with a murderous intent that was too great to handle.
And the aura of destruction felt in the colony.
If that’s the first place a guy like that would visit… … .
“Yeah, this was it.”
… … A cave where only females of the same species live.
The ‘nest’ of the griffon, whose ecology is in some ways more difficult to understand than that of the wyvern, was right there, hidden in the power of the wind.
That’s right, with the ‘pups’.
‘But it’s not as much as I thought. So… … .’
Is it because we found them early?
The number of pups they were looking after was about five or six.
“You’re saying that we only need to clean up this place?”
He sat down, gathering the magical power that had wrapped around his legs. Then he slowly walked towards the guys.
‘hmm?’
Then, I looked at the energy I felt from the entrance of the cave and laughed in vain.
The Sylphid flower, which grew over many years in the wind. Just like it, magic stones containing the power of the elements also existed in the world.
Spirit Stones, that was the name of the magic stones embedded inside the nest.
‘So there was a reason why they made their nest here.’
The wind flowing from the spirit stone was erasing any sign of their presence.
Additionally, the naturally flowing wind deceived the senses while secretly hiding the existence of the cave.
That’s why no one could find it.
A secret place that no one knows about. A natural environment that lives up to its name has been created.
‘Six pups, eight adults, including the one that ran away… … I think.’
I pulled out Elvern and approached the guys.
Suddenly, the griffons sensed a strange presence coming from the entrance and turned their heads.
Jeokbuk-
Kyaaaaak-!
Ugh! Ugh!
It didn’t take long for them to spot me. They spread their wings wide in a show of alertness, a signal to attack the intruder.
But my movements were faster than that.
Wooooow-
Kyaaaaah!
The guys were stopped by a sudden gust of wind. It was as if their outstretched wings were acting as sails, and they were being pulled very roughly.
However, it was a markedly different response from the males who were struggling to keep their balance while staggering in the air.
‘Well, that’s only natural since the fighting ability of female griffons is inferior to that of males.’
I shrugged, drew Elvern, and swung it at the guys. A red aura shot out and sprayed out at them.
Crunch-!
… …
The wings of the griffons that had been standing upright collapsed, and at the same time, their bodies sagged.
The bodies that collapsed to the ground were separated into upper and lower bodies and were just writhing.
I slowly retrieved my right arm that had been swinging Elbern and muttered softly.
“It’s the end.”
That was a very ambiguous statement. It meant that there were no more griffons left in the south, and it also meant that all the mana stored in the magic seals had been used up.
Well, it was only natural, since the amount of magic power used in the guys’ colony was enormous.
‘It’s unfortunate, but I won’t be able to use the power of the wind for the time being.’
Of course, if the griffon had remained, it would have been different, but now that they’ve all been dealt with, it would have been meaningless.
I waved my hands lightly like that and waited for the knights to come.
But then, suddenly, something caught my eye.
‘That’s?’
The place where the female griffons were resting. Something was slightly revealed there by the sword wind.
I never thought I’d find something like this here… … .
I approached it and pulled up the corners of my lips.
“This… … seems like it would be a good gift.”
