Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 523 Sword of Courage

"Well done! Leave the rest to me!" Gordon raised his sword and prepared to enter the charging posture.

The effect of the incendiary bomb was unexpectedly good. After melting the snow armor, a small amount of oil remained stuck to the behemoth's legs, which continued to burn. The fur on the legs was ignited, and the behemoth roared and kicked back as it felt the burning pain.

Facing the oncoming giant hoof, Gordon immediately changed his sword stance, swung the sword horizontally, and used the force to turn sideways, dodging the attack while leaving an inconspicuous wound on the giant beast's hind leg.

"Boom, boom" Gordon felt his heart beat slightly faster.

At the same time, there was a fiery breath, like a lighted flame, quietly igniting.

"That's it."

Gordon chuckled. In fact, there was something in common between the refinement and accumulation of "courage" and the use of the Dino Tyrannosaurus suit.

As long as you maintain the boundaries of rationality, comply with the violent emotions of the Dino Tyrannosaurus suit, and continue to attack and counterattack, your courage will quickly accumulate in the process.

"Ha! Isn't this a match?" Gordon laughed, shouldering the sword and entering the charging posture again.

Pork Chops, startled by Gordon's sudden laughter, shook his ears. When he was equipped with a Dino Tyrannosaurus armor and fighting, Gordon would be like this from time to time. He was so nervous that he was too lazy to complain.

He sped up and ran to the side of the giant beast, and the pork chop came into sight of those small eyes.

Facing the approaching giant tusk, Gordon spotted an opening and jumped and rolled.

Then what is there to hesitate about? Fight back!

It holds the cat sword high and launches an offensive. It doesn't want to hurt the giant beast. If it can distract the beast by jumping around, it will win.

It is more stable and controllable.

The power gathered together at an unprecedented speed, and almost in the blink of an eye, the three stages of power accumulation were completed.

"Drink!"

The beating sound of the heart becomes clearer and stronger, and the flame of courage burns brighter and stronger.

However, the bloody wound on the behemoth's hind leg did not deceive anyone. In this wonderful state, he really used two ordinary periods of basic charging time to slash a cut that was more powerful than a strong charging slash.

sword!

Even after the sword was struck, the power gathered in his core muscles was still not dissipated. He subconsciously turned forward and swung an enhanced horizontal slash that was no different from a powerful sweeping strike.

Gordon seized the opportunity, put away his sword and charged forward at full speed. Finally, with a thrilling sliding shovel, he successfully got out from between the hind legs of the giant beast and left under the giant beast.

Perhaps, this is the direct reason for the accelerated acceleration.

The power of this sword is unusually heavy, and its power has far exceeded the level of conventional three-stage charged slashes, and even surpassed the strong charged slashes.

Not backward, but forward.

What amazed him the most was that the power that had been accumulated to perfection was completely controllable!

It is different from the excitement and enthusiasm that I felt when I was "practicing" with the big monster bird before.

Gordon drank lowly and waved the sword in his hand.

Stimulated by the sharp pain, the giant beast's proboscis twitched and raised, along with its entire upper body.

The spirit is concentrated like never before, and every muscle, every joint, and even the slightest bit of energy, or "fighting energy" that is extremely difficult to control, are completely under control.

Two wounds, one vertical and one horizontal, were intertwined at the base of the giant beast's hind legs. The splattered blood dyed the claw blade of the boom sword red, and also dyed Gordon's armor red.

Since it was an emergency attack based on the conditioned reflex of the giant beast, the force of the swish of the nose this time was relatively weak and the angle was not correct. However, the weight of the proboscis itself almost knocked Gordon into the ground like a nail.

You must know that a charged slash under normal conditions, whether it is a normal charged slash, a strong charged slash, or a true charged slash, has a "best time to release", which is the moment when the power is accumulated to the limit.

The reaction of the giant beast was also very fast. After swiping its fangs in the air, it immediately took a big step forward, and at the same time shook its head in the opposite direction, and the fangs swept back.

The behemoth was even more uncomfortable, as Gordon's slashing attack happened to land on the wound on its nose.

He flew under the giant beast's head, which was a "dangerous safe zone" due to the curved shape of its fangs.

The pork chop was successful, and the giant beast's turning movement hesitated for a moment. Gordon took the opportunity to release three stages of charged slashes, adding a new bleeding wound on the beast's hind leg.

My vision suddenly opened up.

Continue to roll forward to dodge? Or counterattack?

Both options are risky. The former may be crushed by the forefoot of the giant beast. It depends on luck. The latter may be crushed by the proboscis, but there is still room for maneuver.

The reason why it is dangerous is because the giant beast also has a flexible nose.

Gordon, who had crawled under the giant beast's head, had no time to get up when the proboscis, which was more than a circle thicker than his entire body, swung down.

The series of dodges and counterattacks just now were a matter of life and death. He didn't have time to understand it. Now he suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered a rather strange state.

This time, Gordon, who was prepared, stabilized his center of gravity, held the sword diagonally in front of him, and relieved the wind pressure, so that he was not blown away by the air current.

Gordon was very lucky that he had just blocked the wind pressure. If he had been blown away by the airflow and his center of gravity was unstable, the pursuit that followed would probably have caused him a lot of trouble.

Breathing out a breath of hot breath from between his teeth, Gordon said to himself, "It's still a little bit worse."

It's like sunshine covering the whole body.

Gordon stood up, raised his sword, and slashed at the proboscis that was about to fall.

The next second, the head of the big sword struck the tip of the giant beast's nose.

Perhaps it was not as powerful as the full-power true charged slash, but the preparation speed of this sword was so fast that Gordon couldn't help but wonder if his senses had misjudged it.

Huge fangs, longer than the entire body of many large monsters, once again swept past Gordon.

Gordon didn't even react.

The leg was injured, and the giant beast roared. It shook its head vigorously, pushed the ground with its front feet, and sped up to turn around. Gordon, by reading its muscles, judged the giant beast's movements in advance and retreated first.

If this moment is missed, a considerable part of the power will lose control, dissipate, and disappear.

But now, the gathered power is actually stably maintained at its peak, waiting for the moment to be released.

The heart no longer pounded wildly, but became steady and powerful again. The flame of courage that existed only in the "spiritual concept" did not turn into a majestic burning flame like before, but became brighter and brighter.

warmth.

The muscles and joints of Gordon's legs quickly mobilized at this time, not rolling, but spinning and sliding similar to the dual swordsman's ghost-like state!

In the past, he obviously needed to use the inertia of charging or swinging a sword to perform similar actions smoothly.

As the courage gradually continues, the spirit becomes more and more "focused".

We say "safe zone" because this location is a blind spot for fangs, which can effectively prevent the giant beast from continuing to swing its fangs in pursuit.

The giant beast roared again, and it simply sat back, trying to crush the hunter behind it to death.

Gordon subconsciously pulled out his sword and entered a charging posture.

But now, he was carrying a big sword like a swift swordsman with light weapons. He easily slid back a long distance and successfully avoided the heavy pressure of the giant beast.

Pork Chop, who was wandering around and always paying attention to Gordon, couldn't help but open his mouth, "Hey, what the hell, meow?"

Gordon couldn't help but have a cheerful smile on his face hidden under his visor.

"This is true 'courage'."

Ps. Originally I wanted to write the last sentence as "courage mode", but suddenly I jumped into fairy mode emmmm

When in the state of courage, he drew his sword and charged it up really quickly, which was impressive.
