Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1297 Ice Dragon

There was no division of labor between Hayata and the swordsman master, with one acting as the vanguard to hold back and the other as the attacker to attack.

The way the two of them cooperated couldn't even be called cooperation, it was more like they were fighting on their own.

Keep attacking at your own pace. When one of you creates a flaw, the other will naturally be able to seize it.

For a moment, the Ice Curse Dragon felt like it was caught in a dilemma and couldn't take care of anything.

The wounds on its body kept increasing. If it continued like this, it might not even have the chance to use its full strength and would be completely suppressed.

“Ah!”

With a sharp cry, the Ice Curse Dragon spread its wings, and dense white mist surged forward along with the airflow created by the dragon's wings.

This white mist may seem insignificant, but it gives them a sense of deadly threat.

The two hunters immediately stopped their attack and flew back.

After retreating dozens of meters, Hayata was startled by the burning pain as if by fire.

Even though she had gotten out of the area filled with white fog as quickly as possible, a lot of the cold fog still stained her protective gear.

A thick layer of white frost covered the surface of the pitch-black [Tenglong] armor.

The cold air seeped in through the gaps in her armor, freezing her shirt and skin together, freezing her skin and making her limbs stiff.

In fact, she was not fully prepared for this battle.

The frost resistance of the [Tenglong] suit was originally a flaw. In the previous battle, the reason why she was able to calmly deal with the frost and freezing air, in addition to the several ice-resistant beads embedded in the armor, the real key factor was actually the high-quality ice-resistant protective stone.

However, the protective stone was currently being worn by her daughter Muti. For the sake of her daughter's safety, she would never choose to take it off and use it.

This means that the cold mist released by the Ice Curse Dragon can still have a serious impact on her.

Due to the direction of the white fog, the swordsmanship master was not directly covered by the cold fog and was in much better condition. Noticing the situation on Hayata's side, he reminded him loudly.

"Kill the fruit!" At this moment, the Ice Curse Dragon shrouded in the misty cold fog let out another long cry.

Solid ice appeared on the azure scales. As the ice armor took shape rapidly, the Ice Curse Dragon's momentum continued to rise, and the freezing air that permeated the surroundings became even more fierce.

This feeling of oppression is completely different from that encountered at a volcano.

Even breathing became difficult for the hunters. Every breath they took was like a handful of ice and snow being stuffed into their mouths and noses.

"I'll cover you! Hurry up and recover!"

The swordsmanship master let out a low roar and took the initiative to charge towards the Ice Curse Dragon.

Enduring the burning sensation and itching pain of frostbite, Hayata smashed down a fruit of dispelling power. The rising light blue powder mist melted the frost stuck between her armor and skin.

But the frostbite all over her body was not so easy to heal. There was no time to bandage it. After quickly drinking a bottle of recovery medicine, she took out the ice-resistant suit from her bag.

This special clothing, made of cold-proof fur and special thermal insulation materials, has a very good cold-resistant effect and can be regarded as an external supplement.

The only drawback is that it's not strong enough.

In high-intensity combat, it might not take long for it to be damaged and lose its ability to protect against the cold, so it should only be used at the critical moment.

Facing the fully-powered Frost Dragon, trying to save your cards would only lead to your own death.

Hayata, wearing an ice-resistant suit, brandished his sword and rushed back to the battlefield.

Covered in heavy ice armor, the Frost Dragon, which should have become sluggish, became more agile for some reason.

It flapped its wings and lifted off the ground like a feather blown by the wind, dancing in the air and avoiding the swordsmanship master's sweeping air blade.

Its movements are as graceful as dancing, but they always conceal murderous intent.

The tail of the ice blade pierced out from the shadow cast by the dragon's wings like a poisonous snake, and attacked the side of the swordsmanship master at a tricky angle.

The air blade swung and missed, and the swordsmanship master had no time to adjust his movements and could only roll sideways, avoiding the attack in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

Hayata, who came at full speed, cut in between the two in time and swung his sword to block the subsequent wing attack of the Ice Curse Dragon.

The swordsmanship master quickly stood up, and the two of them surrounded the Ice Curse Dragon and launched another fierce attack.

This is what a hunter who is good at using a katana does, he is either attacking or on his way to attack.

However, the improvement of the Ice Armor on the Frost Dragon seems to be more than just physical ability.

Even my mind became much clearer.

It no longer entangled with the hunters or engaged in close combat, but instead flapped its wings to distance itself, and exhaled frost that froze everything, sweeping towards the pursuing hunters.

Hayata and the swordsmanship master hurriedly stopped and changed direction, trying to avoid the path of the breath sweep.

However, the Frost Dragon in the Ice Armor state had greatly enhanced its control over frost energy. As its head swayed, the direction of its breath changed and it swept towards them closely.

"dispersion!"

The swordsmanship master growled and ran in two different directions with Hayata.

The Ice Curse Dragon hesitated for a moment, and its breath swept across the two people. Where the frost landed, a huge ice wall composed of countless irregular ice spikes rose from the ground.

Oops!

They were both shocked.

Dodging the continuous sweeping breath is already an extremely difficult and dangerous task, not to mention that the breath will form huge ice when it falls on the ground.

The existence of these ice spikes and ice walls seriously blocked their routes for running and dodging. If this continued, there would be more and more obstacles, and it would become increasingly difficult to avoid attacks.

As expected, we still have to attack!
Only by continuous attack can we regain the initiative!
Hayata took a deep breath of the cold air that almost froze his throat, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he turned on the courage mode.

She flew over a newly-risen ice wall in front of her, and regardless of everything, rushed straight towards the Ice Curse Dragon that was preparing for a new round of breath sweep.

"It turns out that young people are still more energetic."

The swordsman chuckled softly, then charged immediately after, taking out a flash bomb and throwing it hard at the Ice Curse Dragon that was suspended in mid-air.

A strong light burst out, interrupting the Ice Curse Dragon's half-prepared breath, and its vision was temporarily deprived by the strong light.

But unfortunately, Frost Dragon, who had suffered a loss from a flash bomb before, did not fall down this time because of panic.

Instead, it flapped its wings to adjust its posture, regained its balance at the last moment, and landed on the ground.

Following the direction from which Hayata attacked as it remembered, it opened its mouth and spit out a straight line of breath, which shot out.

Hayata changed the charge route in time and narrowly avoided this short but quick breath, but the speed of the charge was inevitably slowed down.

The swordsmanship master, whose charge was not disturbed, was able to arrive first and get close to the Ice Curse Dragon.

He raised his sword and thrust it out fiercely, with the tip of the sword piercing the Ice Dragon's chest. He then took advantage of the momentum to leap high into the air, and chopped down with a flying dragon sword made of pure silver.

The Ice Curse Dragon has an extremely fast reaction speed.

The moment of being stabbed, a chill was immediately released.

A thick wall of ice rose from the ground, blocking it from the swordsmanship master.

The sword wrapped in sword energy and dragon flames split the nearly one-meter-thick ice wall into two, and the Ice Curse Dragon hiding behind the ice wall was unharmed.

A cold gaze was cast through the crack in the ice wall split by the sword.
