Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1153 The Hatred of Sneak Attacks From Behind Is the Highest

Gordon was not the only one to notice the adamantine spines growing on Nergigante's head.

Everyone in Yinbian raised their vigilance to the highest level.

They have never witnessed Nergigante firing this special thorn, but the last time they saw this thing was on Gordon's [Epitaph] that was penetrated.

Back then, the master craftsman who helped Gordon create the epitaph said that the special alloy used to cast the sword came from the ancient era.

It is impossible to copy it with existing human technology, or even to re-cast it. We can only polish it to remove the rust stains and add a handle.

Over the years, Gordon has used that sword to block attacks from many large monsters without leaving any obvious scratches.

But that day it was pierced by this diamond thorn, and there was no doubt about its hardness and sharpness.

The Nergigante roared, and the thorns on its arms and wings regenerated rapidly, and in a very short period of time, they began to turn black and harden.

"Try to clean up the thorns now!" Hayata shouted, and Feng Ying teamed up with the Nergigante.

Naturally, the Nergigante knew that the newly regenerated thorns were relatively fragile. It jumped back and opened a distance of tens of meters, then tensed its limbs, pressed its head against the ground, rushed forward suddenly, and then raised its head.

As it moved, the diamond thorns growing on its head flew out, attacking the hunters with a piercing scream.

Gordon Hayata immediately flew down and fell down. The sound of breaking wind in his ears and behind his head made his scalp numb. Gordon could even feel that a piece of his huge shoulder armor had been chipped off.

Feng Ying, who had flying insects, chose another evasive strategy. She released flying insects continuously and flew away, rushing out of the range of the thorns in the blink of an eye.

Looking back at the thorns that glowed like diamonds and penetrated deeply into the ground, Feng Ying secretly swallowed.

I don’t know if my shield can protect against this thing, I’m afraid it will be too strong.

Even though they were fearful in their hearts, the hunters knew that they must not show any cowardice in the face of the monsters and besieged them again.

Pork Chops, which had run out of explosive bombs, also joined the battle. It put on its steel claws, meowed angrily and turned into a beast, leaping and flying onto the Nergigante's head, grabbing wildly.

Xianglan also drew her cat sword, rushed to Nergigante, walked around in a circle, and then ran back, playing a motivational instrument instead.

Instead, the mushroom jumped on Nergigante's face in a daze, apparently trying to knock out the Nergigante's remaining right eye.

This move seriously irritated the already irritable Nergigante. It roared wildly, turned around suddenly, and threw the two cats on its head away. At the same time, its long tail covered with spikes swept towards the hunters around it.

Gordon Fengying immediately put up her weapon and entered a defensive posture, and was repulsed with a loud "Bang!"

Hayata showed radicality and fanaticism that was completely opposite to her usual words and deeds. Facing the sweeping giant tail, she sheathed her sword one step ahead and drew her sword at the moment when the thorn tail stopped.

The two passed each other, and several thorns on the Nergigante's tail were cut off, and a bloody gash was opened on her shoulder by the scattered thorns.

Feeling the threat from behind, Nergigante turned back, raised his body and raised his claws, and struck hard with all his strength.

Hayata saw the danger in time and retreated. Facing the Nergigante who raised its claws again and prepared to launch a continuous pursuit, she narrowed her eyes and raised the sword wrapped with red air blades behind her.

Before Nergigante's second claw fell, there was an obvious pause in charging.

Obviously, it once again used the same variation technique it used against Gordon, hoping to wait for the hunter to make a move, then seize the flaw and launch a powerful blow.

However, the routine that is useful against the Great Sword User seems a little out of place when placed in front of the Tai Sword User.

What Taito users are best at is finding loopholes and seizing opportunities.

The battlefield came to a brief pause for one second. The Nergigante, standing only on its hind legs, could not maintain its balance and had to take the first step to take down its claws.

And Hayata also turned into an afterimage and rushed forward at the moment its movement started. The sword wrapped with red air blades swirled in the air and drew several perfect arcs of light.

The last one arrived first and ducked under the Nergigante.

Sakura Air Blade Slash!

The crimson sword energy and dragon-attributed energy exploded together. Several long, slender but deep wounds were cut from the hind legs to the waist and abdomen of the Nergigante Dragon, and blood surged out.

"Ouch!" A howl of pain sounded.

In the middle of the attack, he suffered a heavy blow. Still standing on his hind legs, which he was not used to, the Nergigante suddenly lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Well done! Attack!"

Gordon sped up a few steps and rushed to Nergigante's head. He drew his sword and shouldered the sword and began to quickly charge up. Feng Ying, who was behind Nergigante, adjusted her position while inserting her sword into the shield and switching weapon forms.

A strong charged slash was followed by a strong sweeping slash, and the two swords struck the Nergigante's head and neck firmly.

The reason why he didn't prepare a true charged slash that was more powerful and had a longer charging time was because he knew that Nergigante was in very good condition at this time, far from the point where he would have to struggle for a long time after falling.

Instead of preparing for a long time to cut everything in vain, it is better to seize the limited time in front of you.

His judgment was correct. After just three or four seconds, the Nergigante used its broad wings to support its body and stood up again.

At this time, Feng Ying also unleashed her super solution with full firepower.

"It's a solution!"

The huge electric ax fell, and struck accurately at the wound cut by Hayata's previous cherry blossom air blade, tearing it apart further and going deep until the bone jammed the ax blade.

The energy stored in the bottle exploded, blasting the wound into a bloody mess while continuing to spread, shattering large pieces of thorns that had not yet hardened into black.

"Roar!"

The wound was hit hard, and the Nergigante almost fell again. It staggered two steps, and stomped its front paws heavily on the ground to stabilize its body.

Scarlet blood crawled all over its only remaining eye. The Nergigante slowly turned its head, and its eyes full of bloodthirsty murderous intent locked onto Feng Ying behind it.

"Uh, it's bad."

Feng Ying realized that she was being targeted, and without thinking, she put away her weapon and turned around to run, while blowing the whistle hard.

Gordon and the other two hurriedly stepped up their offensive, trying to attract the attention of the Nergigante.

However, the Nergigante, whose leg was almost chopped off by Feng Ying, was completely furious. It ignored the fierce offensive of Gordon and the other two, and there was only one thought left in its angry brain.

Tear up the hateful guy who attacked from behind!

Shrouded in murderous intent, Feng Ying, whose hair was almost standing up, flew up onto the back of Amber, who had received the signal and was galloping at full speed, and lowered her body to the saddle.

Amber understood, roared and accelerated with all her strength, and in the blink of an eye she jumped far away.

The Nergigante's sight continued to lock on the man and the dog who were getting farther and farther away, and its muscular limbs crushed the ground, while its wings suddenly flapped.

With a "boom!", it rushed into the air.

It was hard to tell whether it flew up or jumped up.

However, it was not satisfied with this height, and continued to flap its wings to climb up until it reached the highest point of the cave, then it turned into a black afterimage and dived down.

Staring at Feng Ying in the air, she pressed her body to one side with force, and Amber cooperated with her movements, drifting and changing direction in a hurry.

It was neither landing nor diving. The Nergigante, which kept waving its wings and accelerating, was like a huge hammer that was smashed with all its strength, smashing on the crystallized ground.

"Boom boom boom!" The entire cave began to shake.

With the point where the Nergigante fell as the center, large cracks spread outward, and the ground collapsed outward layer by layer.

Feng Ying and Amber, who had no time to escape, fell into the abyss that led to nowhere with the Nergigante.
