—Geeta PoV—

Ren is a weird guy.

Since he wakes up at brother-in-law’s house I already know that he is an oddball. He woke up with his memories about himself is gone but he still holds a great amount of knowledge.

He understands about building, farming, and fishing that is quite rare for a goblin who doesn’t think at all. Well, our tribe does that too, though.

He seems to take a great interest in mana, magic, and skills. But the weirdest thing is he is a goblin duke but his mana there is no mana leaking out from his body. But when I treated his wound, but I could feel a strange power inside of him.

What a strange person.

One thing that piqued my interest too is how stoic he is. I and my sister are considered a great beauty at the tribe, usually, if a new goblin met me they will propose me and ask me to be their mate in an instant. But this guy doesn’t even show the tiniest bit of interest to me.

It kinda frustrating but I need to admit that he’s kinda cool. he’s tall, muscular, and I could see his confidence and calmness at his face.

“Geeta! Ice Wall!” My brother-in-law shouted.

“Yes! Wall of Frost!” I shouted, and the griffin attacks once again blocked by my magic.

If my sister is here, we could support brother-in-law more easily though. My sister is a dual-elemental mage of fire and wind. But she is pregnant, so it’s crazy if brother-in-law brought her here.

Okay, let’s focus on bringing this fearsome beast down first. We gave it considerable damage, but it doesn’t even slow this stubborn beast. At this rate, my mana will run out first before we could defeat it.

“Geeta! Once again!” My brother-in-law ordered me.

“Yes!” I chant the ice shards spell getting ready to strike the griffin using it.

“Dear spirits of ice, heed my call

show your coldness and form an icicle in my call

Ice Shards!” After I finished chanting, a dozen icicles appeared in front of my hand and dashes to the Griffin.

The Griffin tries to fend all of it using its claws but it couldn’t repel all of it. So some icicles manage to damage the Griffin.

Using the momentum of the ice shards spell of mine, my brother-in-law dashes to its back and about to strike its back again.

But suddenly, the Griffin dashes not to protect itself from my brother-in-law’s strike. But it dashes to the place I’m standing. It all happened in a split second. And now, I’m on the verge of falling to a state, called death.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t move my feet.

“Geeta! Dodge!” My brother-in-law said, but my feet can’t move. The Griffin is about to hit me, so I hold my shield steady and get ready for the outcome.

…..

I waited for the feeling of intense pain and intense power but the feeling won’t come. Confused, I opened my eyes, and I saw a figure, is facing the griffin with his bare arms. There is the weird energy I sensed before enveloping him.

“Ren!” I called his name happily.

“Urrgghhh. Roaaaaar” Ren shouted and he manages to threw the Griffin back.

*Sound of water drops*

That is?

I wandered my eyes for where the source of the voice is, and I saw. the front cloth that Oz borrowed from my brother-in-law, is soaked with blood. But even with all of those wounds, his smirk never fades.

“Geeta, lend me your great sword.” He said to me coolly.

I threw my greatsword to him and he caught it with one hand.

“Let’s settle this once and for all crazy beast.” He said just like a battle maniac.

He dashes to the Griffin and strikes it head-on, With no strategies, and with no tricks, he faces it head-on. Using his brute strength, his sword vs Griffin’s jaw seems like a draw.

Ren retreated while saying “Damn it strong.”

“Well, it’s obvious. it’s a Griffin,” I said.

“Geeta, could you chant the wall of frost once more before I make a contact with the Griffin, and chant ice shards After I land the strike at the Griffin?” Asked him.

“I still have some mana left, I think it’s enough to use those two spells,” I answered.

“Great, then tell your brother-in-law to strike the Griffin right after I strike it first.” He said and he walks to the Griffin to face it once again.

Where does his confidence come from?

Well, let’s just see what he got.

I told my brother what Ren’s strategy is, and he agrees.

“You’re a damn strong beast,” Oz said. He dashes to the Griffin once more and I chant the spell Wall of Frost, when each of their strikes almost collides with each other, My Wall of Frost appeared in the middle of them.

I just now noticed. That if I summon a Wall of Frost. There will be a cold fog surrounding it.

And now I understand what Ren’s plan is.

Ren appeared below of the Griffin and strikes its chest, it shocks the Griffin as it couldn’t sense the attack coming from Ren.

“Now!” Oz shouted.

I immediately use the spell Ice Shards and brother-in-law immediately dashes to the Griffin. I finished my chant and my brother-in-law arrived at the back of the Griffin at the same time.

I worried that the Griffin will run and change its place and ruin his plans but the Griffin looks like it was bearing pain or something. My Icicles and brother-in-law’s slash strikes the Griffin at the same time. But this time, our strikes penetrate the Griffin rather easily.

With the strike from us, Griffin’s blood spurted out of its body and it dies, and something slowly falls from the air.

A card with an image of the queen of the humans, but it immediately disappears after I saw it.

I want to ask what it is to Ren, but he suddenly fell and fainted.

“Ren!” I and my brother-in-law shouted.

it seems like he loses too much blood, so we brought him to my brother-in-law’s house so I could treat him again.

Today is a tiring day.

But I manage to see Ren’s coolness so I guess that’s enough for me hehe.

*sound of humming*
