Chapter 1035: Hard Fight

Since his center of gravity had not yet been stabilized, he could not take this move head-on.

Gordon had no choice but to follow the inertia of being thrown back, rolling backwards to dodge the claw attack while keeping a little distance.

The movement speed of the Nergigante was very fast, and the attack interval was very short. Gordon had no time to hesitate. After he finished rolling and stood up, he immediately raised his greatsword and started a one-shot posture.

As expected, the continuous claw attacks of the Nergigante followed.

Its action of slapping its claws easily reminded people of the Thunder Wolf Dragon. The two are very different in ecological classification, but their evolution in some aspects is slightly similar.

The extremely strong core strength created a claw attack with terrifying power.

Facing this attack that could smash the rock ground, Gordon did not choose to take it head-on, but used some techniques of unloading and leveraging force on the basis of precise defense, just like when he faced the Ao Mo.

Even so, his knees bent suddenly, and the greatsword was almost knocked off.

But he finally succeeded in defusing the attack and completed the charging preparation.

"Hah!"

Gordon roared and swung the greatsword, fighting back with a true charging slash.

From the front, the Nergigante gave people a sense of invulnerability, with large horns on both sides of the head, claws protecting the chest, and dense thorns on the back of the neck.

It felt difficult to achieve a satisfactory effect no matter where he chopped.

But at this time, he couldn't be so entangled. Gordon found the most comfortable direction for himself and swung the sword to slash at the shoulder and neck of the Nergigante Gaolong.

This place was full of bone-white sharp thorns, and Gordon thought that the greatsword would be stuck by the bone thorns.

But he didn't expect that those seemingly hard bone thorns would break one after another under the swing of the greatsword, not to mention blocking the greatsword, and even failed to play a significant role in hindering it.

The inscription greatsword successfully chopped into the shoulder and neck of the Nergigante, leaving a huge wound with blood flowing.

This result made Gordon stunned for a moment.

In the previous battle with the Explosion Dragon, these bone spines were not so fragile, otherwise, not to mention piercing the body of the Explosion Dragon, a simple tangle would have broken off a large piece.

Although many of them were later broken by the Explosion Dragon's self-explosion attack, it was still.

Wait, shouldn't the bone spines on the back of the Extinction Dragon be broken in the explosion of the Explosion Dragon's dying counterattack? Why does it look like there is no loss at all?

The doubt in his heart immediately reminded Gordon of a piece of information that the Grand Commander had emphasized - the Extinction Dragon has an extremely amazing regeneration ability.

After carefully observing the bone spines on the Extinction Dragon's body, Gordon found that a small number of bone spines were pitch black, while more thorns were bone white, with only a little black at the tip.

While sliding back to dodge the Extinction Dragon's attack again, he shouted to remind his companions, "Attack the white bone spines! These bone spines have just regenerated and are very fragile!"

Hayata, who had been avoiding the parts where the bone spines grew, immediately changed his attack method.

She adjusted her position with a side jump using the cassock slash, and came to the side and front of the Nergigante, swinging her sword to attack the right claw of the Nergigante covered with bone thorns, hoping to share Gordon's pressure on the front.

The attack worked.

The light and agile sword may not be able to chop a large number of bone thorns at once like a great sword, but the touch transmitted back from the blade made her realize that these sharp thorns are indeed not as strong as they look.

To make an analogy, it is like a skeleton that has been decayed and dried for many years. It looks hard and complete, but it can be broken by a strong kick.

Her attack rhythm began to speed up, and even became a little radical.

With Hayata restraining the right claw of the Nergigante, Gordon was a little relieved.

But the remaining left claw of the Nergigante, the fangs and the big horns on the top of the head are still very dangerous.

The tactic that has been tried and tested in the past, using a one-shot posture to withstand the monster's attack and counterattack in the interval between attacks, is no longer useful.

First, the attack of the Nergigante is too powerful and not easy to resolve. Second, the interval between the former's attacks is so short that it is difficult to get into the ideal attack rhythm.

Gordon once again withstood the claw attack of the Nergigante with precise defense. He felt a tightness in his chest and a strong smell of iron in his mouth and nose.

He endured the discomfort and swung the sword down.

The Nergigante, who had tasted the power of this move, jumped half a step sideways and actually dodged the counterattack of the True Charge Slash.

The physical fitness that can be regarded as the ceiling level among hunters, the precise control of muscles in the courage state, the sturdy and especially suitable for defense inscription sword (defense +60), plus the blessing of the [Greed] suit and those potions.

Adding all these together, it is a bit too much to bear the attack of the Nergigante continuously. Gordon realized that this is not a solution.

At this time, his physical strength is still full and strong, but it is so strenuous. If he gets tired in a while, it will be difficult to fight head-on.

We must find some other way.

Gordon rolled backwards to avoid the bite of the Nergigante, hoping to give his sore and numb muscles a few seconds to rest.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amid the sound of breaking wind, three armor-piercing grenades came one after another, accurately nailing the horns of the Nergigante.

After a short delay, they exploded together.

The explosion and smoke temporarily obscured the vision of the Nergigante, and the strong impact was transmitted along the horns into the skull, shaking the Nergigante's head.

This was an attack from Ansil.

Gordon took this opportunity to distance himself again and regroup, while quickly opening his mask and pouring a bottle of hardening medicine into his mouth.

Just as Gordon was about to approach the Nergigante again and continue to deal with the Nergigante, he suddenly discovered that the latter's dim eyes had turned to the archer in the distance.

"Be careful!"

Gordon, realizing something, immediately shouted to remind him.

Ansel, who was loading, immediately stood up and ran wildly with the heavy crossbow in his arms and legs.

Sure enough, the Nergigante, which had locked onto the new target, exerted force on its limbs, and its huge and sturdy body leaped fifty or sixty meters at an astonishing speed, rushing towards Ansel.

The Nergigante, which fell to the ground, waved its claws, but caught nothing, leaving only a few glaring deep grooves on the ground.

Ansel's heart was pounding. If it weren't for Gordon's reminder and his own undelayed reaction, he would not have been able to avoid this sudden attack.

It's rare to see a monster shift its attack target so cleanly.

However, the Nergigante's attack was far from over.

After sliding sideways for more than ten meters and dissolving the inertia of the flying pounce, the Nergigante suddenly accelerated and continued to chase the heavy crossbow user.

Holding the steel fangs in its mouth, Gale rushed from the side, fearlessly leaping onto the Nergigante, biting and trying to interfere with the Nergigante's pursuit.

Nergigante just impatiently shook his body and threw the Fang Hound away.

A sharp horn sound came, and the Nergigante subconsciously deflected his sight, and a flash bomb was thrown in front of it.

A strong light burst out, and the Nergigante roared, and the pursuit was interrupted.

Under the cover of the close cooperation of Sandstone Pork Chop, Ansir finally opened a safe distance with the Nergigante.

This made Gordon slightly relieved, but his heart was still heavy.

The common tactics of the archer covering the target's attention could not be used, and the Nergigante's attack was too straightforward.

Unlike many monsters, it was only temporarily distracted, and the vanguards could easily draw their attention back after intensifying their attacks.

"Shooters reduce the frequency of attacks, guerrilla! Attack from the blind spot of the target's sight!"

In order to avoid the frequent occurrence of dangerous situations of hatred transfer, Gordon had to take more risks on himself.
