Chapter 992: Cutting Back and Forth

After firing the current magazine, Gale did not use shotgun shells anymore, but replaced them with penetrating bullets with higher shooting accuracy and longer effective range.

The fire suppression effect of shotgun shells at close range is unparalleled, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

—— It is easy to accidentally hurt teammates.

Especially when the monster in front of him is not big and likes to jump around, he must get very close to ensure that the flying shrapnel will not cover his companions.

But this will also put himself within the monster's attack range, making the monster's attack behavior very uncontrollable, just like what happened just now.

In order to avoid this situation from happening frequently, it is better to keep a distance and cooperate.

Gale smacked his lips.

This is also one of the main reasons why she has never joined any hunting group. Not only does she need to take the trouble to maintain interpersonal relationships, but there are also many things that must be paid attention to during hunting, which is troublesome.

But then again, she actually envied Gordon Anhill's unconditional trust in each other and the tacit understanding that can cooperate perfectly with eyes closed.

As the hunter level and mission difficulty increased, she, as a lone shooter, gradually felt overwhelmed.

She also wanted to find a partner!

Hayata was good. Her strength was similar to hers, and they could get along well in terms of personality. They could develop tacit understanding.

We had to find a way to lure her over.

Not knowing Gale's dark thoughts, Hayata's attention was completely focused on the opponent in front of her.

People who knew her knew that she was completely different from usual when she was really in combat.

She was so reckless.

There was no tension in her eyes, only excitement. She almost rushed to the blue monster in an impatient manner, and slashed down with the sword in her hand.

The blue monster cautiously stepped back half a step to avoid the attack.

Hayata then thrust forward again, and the inward-folded sword head of the sickle of the inscription was not sharp but very sharp, stabbing out like lightning.

The monster's reaction was not slow at all. It roared and swung its claws to slap the sword away.

As if he had expected it, Hayata swung the sword, the light of fighting spirit condensed on the blade, and the speed of the sword swing suddenly increased to a new level.

Air Blade Kasaya Slash!

The sword finally landed on the side of the monster's head. The sword wrapped in the air blade successfully cut through the thick and tough hard skin, and at the same time chopped the monster's head off.

"Roar!"

The dark blue monster roared and pushed the blade away, opened its bloody mouth and bit forward, forcing the hunter in front of it to retreat.

Then, it used its limbs to hold the ground firmly and tightened its muscles.

Hayata, who stepped back a few steps, immediately sheathed the sword and concentrated on his guard.

The next second, the dark blue monster's body rotated and rushed forward, and the thorn tail swung by the body swept forward like a mace.

At the same time, Hayata drew his sword out of the sheath to meet the monster's attack, and also turned around and slashed forward.

Iai Slash!

The two crossed each other, and the chaotic sword energy bursting from the blade cut dozens of small bloody wounds on the monster's tail.

Part of the power of the monster's tail attack was also transmitted along the hilt, shaking the hunter's chest.

Dozens of meters away, Gale, who was aiming at a crossbow and looking for a chance to shoot, watched the two's almost completely synchronized movements and couldn't help but swear, "Neh, you also know Iai?"

No one cared about her complaints. The hunter and the monster who passed by turned around at the same time, and the blades and claws collided again.

"Roar!"

The monster swung its claws several times in a row, but they were all blocked by Hayata waving his sword.

Seeing that it could not break through the blockade of the blade, the dark blue monster simply lowered its body and rushed forward, rushing to the hunter with the slash, and raised its head and flipped it.

Hayata immediately put away his sword to block, but was still thrown back several meters away.

The monster was waiting for this opportunity. It opened its huge mouth, and red lightning flashed between its fangs, and quickly spread to the entire front half of its body.

While the high-intensity dragon attribute energy wrapped around the fangs, it stimulated its heart and muscles, causing it to burst out at an astonishing high speed in a very short time, turning into a residual image and biting forward.

This was an attack that could not be blocked. Even if precise defense was used, it was difficult to block the fangs surrounded by red electricity.

Avoiding its sharp edge was the only option.

However, if it simply rolled or pounced, it would definitely not be able to escape the range of this attack, so it could only use a more "special" method.

Hayata made a judgment in an instant and held up the sword. This was a special move that Gordon taught her - the courage stance (special sword sheathing).

In the blink of an eye, the bloody mouth and fangs were already in front of her.

The sword stretched out from the side and retreated as soon as it touched the fangs. With the power of the monster's attack, Hayata slid back a long distance.

The dragon-attribute energy wrapped around the monster's fangs exploded.

The dragon-attribute arcs that escaped penetrated the gaps in the armor and burned the skin. The pain was no worse than a real high-temperature burn.

Hayata gritted his teeth to endure the pain, but the monster's attack was not over yet.

Sure enough, the dark blue monster, whose energy-accumulating bite missed, took advantage of the situation and swung its claws with all its strength. Hayata, who had no time to put his sword in or set up his sword to perform a strong blade slash, kept staggering his steps.

With the inertia of courage to avoid, he turned around and flew back again.

See cut! (Is this legal?)

The additional claw attack of the dark blue monster once again brushed the hunter's nose and missed.

This is a flaw!

Hayata tightened his waist and legs, and his muscles were like a drawn bowstring, transforming the inertia of retreating into the power of swinging the sword, and raised the blade to slash at the monster's throat.

And the blue monster immediately turned and jumped back, avoiding Hayata's slash.

"You can also slash??!" Gale screamed again in the distance.

She felt that she had learned a lot today.

The battle between this dog-like thing and Hayata was not like a monster and a hunter at all, but more like two swordsmen fighting.

Cutting back and forth?

Although she complained, Gale's movements were not slow at all.

She quickly unloaded the magazine of the penetrating bullet, filled two recovery bullets into the crossbow chamber, and fired them out at high speed.

The recovery bullets accurately shot at Hayata, and the splashed liquid penetrated through the gaps in the armor, relieving the burns of the dragon attribute energy aftermath.

Xianglan, who was holding a recovery honey bug and meowing, was stunned when she saw this and glared at Gale angrily.

Why is there someone snatching the living meow of the healing cat? !

"Thank you!" Hayata raised his voice to thank him.

Gail blew a kiss to Hayata and winked at Xianglan, which made the latter very angry.

The recovery bullet was very effective, and the burning pain was basically gone. She raised the sword again and confronted the monster.

"Crack!"

The remaining dragon attribute energy arc jumped on the blade of the Scythe of Inscriptions. Under the interference of this energy, the attribute energy attached to the weapon itself would be severely suppressed.

Hayata's eyes shifted. Is the dragon attribute energy abnormal?

Fortunately, the Scythe of Inscriptions is a pure physical sword.

The blue monster vigilantly kept a distance from the hunter. It paced slowly, and suddenly, it accelerated and rushed in a certain direction.

The whistling sound of the penetrating bullet sounded, blocking its path forward.

Hayata also blocked the monster diagonally.

The hunters' idea was simple. Although they were not sure what the monster was going to do, it was always right to stop it first.

The monster let out a series of angry roars, looking for an opportunity to break through the blockade.

Hayata remained alert and slightly turned his head to look behind him. The monster's target seemed to be the corpse of the Sakura Fire Dragon?

After the previous wave of attacks, the dragon attribute energy emitted from the dark blue monster seemed to be much dimmer.

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Hayata's mind.

Hungry?

"Then I can't let you pass." Hayata smiled and waved his sword.

The red air blades coiled around.

The courage state is activated.
