Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1152 Diamond Thorn

"Roar--!"

After swatting Feng Ying away, Nergigante pinned his claws to the ground and let out demonstrative roars.

It seems to be an oath that you are not my opponent.

In order to avoid the previous attack, Gordon, who had opened a little distance, immediately rushed back to the Nergigante.

No matter what, the attack cannot stop, and the initiative must be regained as soon as possible. To deal with a monster with a ferocious temperament like Nergigante, once it is completely trapped in the opponent's rhythm, it will be suppressed to the point where it cannot even lift its head.

Gordon, who came to the Nergigante, shouldered his sword and saved less than a second before quickly releasing the attack.

Even if he was in a state of courage at this time and was using the technique of drawing a sword and accumulating energy at high speed, it was impossible to accumulate it to perfection in such a short period of time.

But his purpose was not how hard the sword would hit or how much damage it would cause to the Nergigante.

It's more about interrupting the Nergigante's roar, suppressing its arrogance, and seizing the initiative.

Because it had suffered so much in the previous battles, Nergigante had always been wary of the sword in Gordon's hand. It jumped back to distance itself and dodged the sword.

Without saying a word, Gordon chased after him with his big sword.

He will not shrink back just because he suffered a small loss in the previous competition, not to mention that Feng Ying took the loss for him.

The battle has just begun!

Fortunately, Gordon restrained Nergigante from the front, and Feng Ying, who was sent flying, was not pursued.

But she was still a little dizzy.

The force of the claw just now was really not light. The moment she was hit, she was confused. She didn't even have time to use the flying insect before landing, so she fell a bit hard.

Fortunately, the defense team suit had no other advantages. It was really strong enough, so I didn't suffer any injuries.

Xianglan ran over and asked to check on the injury.

"We're fine!" Feng Ying waved her hands, put her hands on the ground, and stood up unsteadily. As a result, her left foot tripped over her right foot and she almost fell down again.

“Just a little dizzy”

Pandan, who was already an experienced cat therapist, could tell at a glance that her brain had been shocked and she was dizzy.

Normally, it can be relieved by lying down and resting for a few minutes, but now we don't have such free time. Fortunately, there is a "quick treatment" suitable for this situation.

"Meow——!" Xianglan flew up and kicked Feng Ying in the face, knocking Feng Ying, who was already unsteady, to the ground.

Feng Ying shook her head and jumped up, "We're done!"

As he spoke, he picked up the sword and shield that fell aside and rushed back to the battlefield.

When approaching the Nergigante in the fierce battle with Gordon, she slowed down a bit and was obviously hesitant.

She originally wanted to rush directly to the front, alternately cover the attack with Gordon, and help share the pressure.

But the battle situation on Master Gordon's side is obviously not bad. If he joins in at this time, it may disrupt the rhythm of the battle.

"Come here!" Just when Feng Ying hesitated, she heard Hayata's voice.

The latter was on the left side of the Nergigante, waving his sword to clean the bone spines on the Nergigante's body.

After making a gesture to Feng Ying, Hayata gave up the attack position on the left side of Nergigante and went back to the right side to continue the attack.

Avoid weapons from colliding with each other.

Feng Ying understood, and quickly rushed to the left side of Nergigante, inserted the sword into the shield to activate the mechanism, and started the high-voltage backfill (chainsaw).

Compared with the sharp but narrow tachi, heavy weapons such as shield axes and sledgehammers have an absolute advantage in destructive power.

Under the high-pressure backfill state, the ax blade rotates rapidly and turns into a blurry afterimage. It can easily break those hard but brittle bone spines without using too much force.

The three swordsmen, one in front, one on the left, and one on the right, surrounded and attacked the Nergigante. At the same time, Pork Chop came back riding the gale.

They obtained enough supplies from the retreating hunters, mainly high-quality medicines such as secret medicine, ghost medicine G, and force-taking medicine G that were used frequently.

And, of course, there's the ammunition Ancil has been waiting for. Anhir quickly checked and found a large number of armor-piercing grenades, and decisively changed the weapon back to the Industry Heavy Crossbow [Famine].

Loading as many armor-piercing grenades as possible on the magazine belt, Anhir carried a heavy crossbow, ran and adjusted his position, and came to the back of a natural bunker composed of huge crystal clusters to launch fire support.

On the front, the fierce confrontation between Gordon and Nergigante continued.

Seeing the huge mouth full of blood coming towards him, Gordon quickly slid back to dodge, and at the same time mobilized his muscles to get ready to continue dodging.

Sure enough, Nergigante leaned forward and bit him again. Gordon immediately rolled backwards, stood up and raised his sword with all his strength to prevent the former from continuing to pursue.

This attack missed the target, and the Nergigante didn't continue to pursue it.

Gordon knew that the Nergigante, who had a very high combat IQ, would never easily let go of the opportunity to suppress his own weakness. Such a pause in attack must have a purpose.

Without any time to think, Gordon, who had failed to get up and slashed, took advantage of the situation and shouldered the sword, preparing to tighten his muscles, adjust his joints, and enter a one-stop stance.

The Nergigante's claws had already arrived in front of him first.

Come again? !

The reason why this guy was slow to attack was to take advantage of the short gap between his missed attack and the moment he formed his stance in one go!

The sharp claws were about to arrive, and it was too late to even swoop and roll at this time.

But Gordon still has a way to deal with it.

The movement of carrying the sword changed slightly, so that the sword surface was close to the back, making a movement somewhat similar to "holding the sword".

At the same time, he turned and slid backwards in the direction of the claws.

As Gordon retreated and turned around, the claw attack failed to hit the target properly. The tip of the claw slashed through Gordon's back, but was blocked by the extremely strong blade of the inscription sword.

With this force, Gordon spun and slid back a long distance like a ball that had been whipped.

Courage to avoid! (Y return)

"Boom!" A heavy blow from top to bottom landed on the spot where he was standing a second ago, causing even the ground to shake.

If he were any slower, the large crumbling crystalline ground would be his end.

Gordon broke out in a cold sweat after escaping. He was thankful that he had learned a lot of miscellaneous moves over the years, but even with his meager means, he really couldn't beat this thing.

Nergigante was also a little confused, as if he didn't expect that he could escape like this.

The additional heavy blows missed the target, and Nergigante revealed a small flaw. Of course, Gordon would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately strode forward to the Nergigante's head without even stopping. Wen Wen had already shouldered the sword and began to gather momentum.

Draw the sword and charge up to slash at high speed!

The Nergigante, which had just slapped it with all its strength, was slightly frustrated and failed to react in time. Gordon's sword struck it firmly on the side of the face.

The segmented blade of the inscription greatsword tore through the scales and flesh like a saw. Through this hideous wound, one could even see the blood-stained gums of the Nergigante.

Backing up in pain, the Nergigante shook his head vigorously and let out a furious roar.

As if unable to accept the fact that he had suffered a loss in a head-on confrontation, Nergigante tensed up his muscles and before the hunters could react to stop him, he suddenly vibrated his wings and leaped into the air dozens of meters high.

Then, dive down.

"avoid!!!"

"Boom--!"

As the earth trembled, jet-black bone spines flew around, and even hard crystal clusters were shattered by the bombardment of these spines.

The hunters who had experience in dealing with this move jumped in time, but no one was injured in this round of dive impact.

Gordon quickly stood up.

I was shocked to find that there were large special thorns growing on the top of Nergigante's head that reflected diamond-like multicolored light.

He was so impressed by this "Vajra Thorn"
