Bab 681: Trial of Strength

Slashing at the Hippogriff every time it tried to attack her, Shiro managed to peel back quite a few feathers in the process, leaving several bald marks on the spots where she wanted to cut.

Should the Hippogriff lunge in for another attack, her next slash will hopefully draw some blood.

However, that was rather hopeful considering the fact that the Hippogriff was completely wary of her now. Who wouldn't? If an opponent could dodge your every strike and stab you near the vitals, it would be dumb to keep trying to attack that opponent.

Narrowing its eyes at Shiro warily, the Hippogriff stood up on its hind legs and flapped its wings.

Recognising that movement to be the actions required for Wind Blades, Shiro quickly jumped to the side and summoned her bow.
