Catching up with the hippogriff proved to be more difficult than he had anticipated. The creature was faster in the air than he was. He would probably lose track of it if he tried chasing it in the air with Sky Walking.

He landed on the mountain hard before sprinting off in the direction that the hippogriff had taken off. The atmosphere recoiled as he shot forward at tremendous speeds. He kept his eyes on the hippogriff at all times, using Seismic Mapping to make sure he was keeping track of his immediate surroundings. Seismic Mapping couldn't keep track of things that were in contact with the ground.
Rui had already predicted that Seismic Mapping would become increasingly inadequate in the Squire Realm. Aerial maneuvering and combat were much more common in the battles of the Squire Realm. It became much more important to develop sensory skills that were equipped for the atmosphere.
There was an issue to be handled later. For now, he needed to drug this hippogriff.
