'Although I expected something like this, how am I supposed to beat this monster?' Mira thought with a sigh. Considering how easily it smacked away the one Elder on the island, its strength was definitely higher than her own by a considerable margin.
"So? How am I supposed to defeat you?" Mira asked, the grip on her scythe tightening.
"Slay me, and you will pass!" The Griffin raised its head arrogantly as if to say Mira didn't have the capability.
