Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon stared closely at the Nergigante, and while confronting it, he also carefully observed its condition.

Not to mention his left eye, which has been completely blind for a long time, even the eye socket is covered with scars.

The wound on the side of the abdomen cut by Hayata was bleeding continuously. One of the hind legs was hit hard by Feng Ying's super solution, and it was also somewhat useless.

The head became a bloody mess due to his repeated slashes and Ancier's continuous sniping. In several of them, Bai Sensen's skull could be directly seen.

As for other scattered wounds that would not cause obvious interference to his actions, I will not mention them.

There are also some wounds that obviously don't look like they were caused by humans. Before this guy came here, he probably fought with some other monsters.

His eyes swept over the Nergigante Dragon's claws, and the same kind of diamond spines that were similar to those on the back of its neck grew there. They were extremely sharp and hard, with a texture like crystallized ore.

So what's going on with this guy? The more serious the injury, the more diamond spines will grow on the body?

The diamond spines are much longer than the ordinary black bone spines, so will its moves and movements also change?

interesting.

The caution in Gordon's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by an inexplicable excitement.

He has never been a very peaceful person, but later he got a partner, a companion, a disciple, and all kinds of responsibilities.

All this drove him to make some safer and more correct choices.

But sometimes, I still want to be more "life-threatening", put everything aside, and have a battle with powerful monsters.

Life and death are decided by fate.

Hey hey hey, the opportunity is here. Isn't this guy in front of me the best opponent?

Under the visor, the smile on Gordon's face became fanatical, and the "courage" that had been burning in his eyes for a long time not only did not extinguish, but intensified.

"Pork chop, just watch from the side!" Gordon shouted, he couldn't wait any longer.

As if sensing the hunter's growing fighting spirit, the Nergigante roared violently and launched an offensive first.

Instead of rushing towards the hunter, it flapped its wings and soared into the air, flew back twenty or thirty meters, which was almost the same distance as its body, and then rushed towards the ground.

This move looks like a simplified version of that amazingly powerful dive attack, so its purpose.

"Explosion?"

Gordon's expression was so excited that he was distorted, but his thinking was unprecedentedly clear and calm.

He started charging as soon as the monster took to the air. Not only did he not slow down or change direction, but he dragged the sword to further accelerate, and the distance between the two quickly shortened.

Blessed by the kinetic energy of the fall, Nergigante's right claw slammed into the ground. Under the huge impact, the diamond spines on its forearm shot out and enveloped the hunter.

Just when these terrifying thorns that could easily penetrate steel were about to arrive, Gordon jumped up with the power of the charge, stretched his body, and jumped on his back to avoid the thorns.

His speed did not slow down at all after landing, and even accelerated further.

This is a core move in the Bushido-style sword. Gordon, who specializes in the courage style, rarely uses it, but in certain situations, this move may have amazing effects.

Nergigante obviously didn't expect that Gordon would avoid the attack in this way. The previous dive attack was quite taxing on the body. Before it could adjust to its condition, the hunter had already dragged the big sword to it. before.

"Taste this!"

A golden fighting energy light similar to that of a true charged slash lingered on the sword blade. With the force of the charge, Gordon roared and picked up the sword.

A powerful slash that was far more powerful than an ordinary upward slash, it hit the Nergigante on the chin hard. The Nergigante, who had not yet fully adjusted his posture, was forced to tilt his head back by this sword.

Gordon took the opportunity to continue rushing forward and got close to the left side of its chest.

This is the blind spot for the Nergigante's sight, and also the blind spot for many monsters' movements. In this position, most of the monster's attack movements will become awkward.

Nergigante was obviously aware of this. After lowering its head and taking a bite, it immediately jumped back a small step, trying to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being stuck close to the hunter and making it difficult to attack.

Gordon, who had just finished preparing for the powerful charged slash, immediately rushed forward, pulled Nergigante into his attack range again, and then struck the Nergigante with another powerful charged slash, hitting the Nergigante in the face. superior.

"Hoooooooo!!"

The Nergigante, which received two heavy blows on its head, shook its head angrily and swung its claws at the hunter.

And Gordon was using the remaining energy from the charging slash to launch a powerful sweep.

The blade of the sword collided with the sharp claws. Gordon was shocked and took two steps back. The Nergigante's claws were also swung away, and a bloody gash was cut in the palm of his hand.

Evenly matched.

Nergigante was spitting hot white vapor from its mouth and nose, and its one eye was filled with bloodshot eyes. It roared wildly and waved its claws again, looking like it was going to tear the hunter into pieces immediately without any care.

The attack failed and it suffered heavy losses one after another. It had completely lost its mind.

It is true that monsters in a furious state are particularly vicious, but compared to a smart ancient dragon that can learn and play games with you, a wild beast that has lost its mind is easier to deal with.

Facing the Nergigante's claw attack that followed, Gordon chuckled, shouldered his sword, and launched into a one-on-one stance.

"Click!"

The sharp claw was blocked. After Gordon gritted his teeth and endured the blow, he roared and slashed back with his sword.

"Tear it apart——!"

The great sword with the inscription slashed across the Nergigante's chest.

As the core part that drives the movement of the front claws and even the wings, the muscles on the Nergiganteosaurus's chest are thick and well-developed, but they are not covered by chunks of carapace.

The extremely sharp blade successfully broke through the outer layer of hard skin, and the sword body was stuck by the thick muscle. Blood spattered all over Gordon's body.

Maybe it was stimulated by the blood of the ancient dragon, or maybe it was driven by Gordon's will. At this moment, the essence of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was completely activated.

[Greed], which has the texture of biological muscle, seems to be alive. As Gordon exerts force, it swells, and there is a bloody red light seeping between the breastplate and the armor of the evil beast head. out.

"Roar ah ah ah -!!!" In the roar that sounded like a beast's roar, it seemed as if endless power was injected into the hilt of the sword.

At this time, he was like a furious Tyrannosaurus rex with its huge mouth open and tearing at its prey. His arms drove the blade that was stuck in the Nergigante dragon's muscles and slashed viciously.

Amidst the sound of flesh and blood tearing, a hideous wound more than two meters long and more than half a meter deep was torn open in the Nergigante's chest.

Stimulated by the feeling of weakness and severe pain as a large area of ​​key muscles was severed, the Nergigante's claws softened and he fell to the ground.

It roared and struggled, but for a moment it was difficult to find a point of exertion, and it was just in vain to let more precious blood splatter out of the wound.

Gordon raised his visor a little. Under the visor, his eyes flashed with danger, and his face with bulging veins had a ferocious smile that made people question his mental state.

After stuffing a strange power pill into his mouth and biting it into pieces, Gordon swung his sword horizontally, inciting the fighting spirit in his body that had already boiled to the limit, and activated the beast soul possession.

Scarlet fighting spirit spurted out from the gaps in the armor, and the two dots of red light revealed in the shadow of the visor grille were particularly bright, like the fierce eyes of a monster.

"Bah——!"

Gordon, whose spirit was swinging between sanity and madness, exhaled a mouthful of hot air between his teeth.

He came to the dragon's head and shouldered the sword.

"If you say so, you probably won't die like this."
