Bang!
Gio slammed into the griffin's face, throwing its eagle head to the side. Its eye turned to look at him as it did something similar to gnashing its beak before slamming its head back in his direction.
Boom!
Gio didn't have much maneuverability in the air. He could only raise his arms to block the impact while he was thrown back.
"Khhh…!"
He felt the burn. His bones rattled and felt like they would break from only a single hit, but despite the massive size of the beast, the actual strength in the hit wasn't much.
'It can't move fast.'
It had the same limitations as any other large beast. Its movements weren't fast but they were filled with power. The problem was that the power in question worked best when it had time to accumulate.
At such a short distance, the swinging of its head could only throw Gio back without causing much damage. It was as if he'd been hit by a padded wall.
OOOOOOH!
