Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1345 Open your eyes
The power of this axe falling from the sky is unquestionable.

The axe blade, surrounded by lightning, was about to hit the mysterious ancient dragon's forehead, at the vertical line that looked like a "third eye".

Under the huge force, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the mysterious ancient dragon's head was suddenly swung down.

The frost and the energy stored in the bottle exploded at the same time, and continuous frost explosions spread along the back of its head, neck, and back.

Under such a heavy blow, the mysterious ancient dragon's mind was stunned for a moment.

The wings flapped convulsively, and the already concentrated shock wave attack was lifted and shot high, cutting a towering cliff hundreds of meters away in half.

Scattered air columns were dispersed in all directions along with the twitching tentacles. Fortunately, the hunters were on guard and no one was hit.

Gordon didn't even try to dodge, he was just gathering his strength on the spot.

He noticed that the area close to the head of the mysterious ancient dragon was actually a relatively safe location.

Perhaps those vibrating air columns would cause damage to itself, and even in the seemingly disordered sweeping attacks, the swinging tentacles would bypass the head.

It's barely a safe zone.

While the mysterious ancient dragon was shaking its head due to Feng Ying's super attack, Gordon's true charged slash was ready.

According to his original idea, this sword was intended to chop off the head.

As a great swordsman, the monster's head has a magnetic attraction to him.
However, as the mysterious ancient dragon staggered, it took a small step back. Given its size, this was a distance of three or four meters.

Even though the True Power Slash has a preceding jumping action, this distance is still barely within the True Power Slash's maximum attack range, but the attack power will inevitably be affected.

Gordon did not hesitate and immediately gave up the option of forcefully attacking the head. He fine-tuned his movements and his eyes fell on the right front paw of the mysterious ancient dragon which was just the right distance away.

Under the special care of Hayata, Fengying, and Gene, the two front paws of the mysterious ancient dragon were already covered with scars.

What Gordon locked onto was a deep cut at the joint of the mysterious ancient dragon's toes, where the bone was visible.

From the shape of the knife mark and the broken ice inside the wound, it can be seen that Hayata was the one who cut it, and it just served as a breakthrough point for his attack!

"Really charged attack!"

Gordon roared and swung his greatsword down.

The sword head fell on the fingertips of the mysterious ancient dragon. The sword was not heavy and did not even attract the attention of the mysterious ancient dragon.

However, the real killer move is coming soon.

Gordon took advantage of the situation to turn over and leap up, using the second sword, which represented the true power of the True Charge Slash, to accurately cut into the wound that penetrated deep into the joint.

The hard skin protecting the joints has been broken, and the frost attached to the inside of the wound has caused the skin and flesh to stiffen, further reducing its strength.

The tendons and cartilage between the joints were simply unable to withstand the slashing of the Inscription Greatsword when it was slashed down with full force.

With a pleasant crushing touch and crisp sound, the two claws of the mysterious ancient dragon were chopped off cleanly.

The sudden severe pain made the mysterious ancient dragon feel like it was electrocuted. Its front legs twitched and contracted violently, and its already unstable center of gravity was completely destroyed. It screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Ahh——!" Feng Ying cheered, and immediately felt like she had gotten rid of her anger.

Super solution of smashing the head and breaking the finger, does it hurt?!

Gordon grinned too.

He had this thought when the mysterious ancient dragon revealed its true form.

Unlike most ancient dragon species whose forepaws are shaped like animal claws, the mysterious ancient dragon's claws are more like those of humans, with long and slender toes.

Claws with similar structures have also been seen on the Dark Dragon. Such claws are more flexible, but the claws are relatively fragile and less stable.

If I could chop off the claws of the Dark Dragon and force it to fall then, I can certainly do it now!

"Attack!" Gordon roared, and the swordsmen rushed forward.

Under Aiden's command, the heavy crossbowmen remained patient and continued to hide.

Now that Ansir and Gail are not here, they only have three heavy crossbows with limited firepower, so it would be better to give this round of attack opportunity to the swordsmen.

As offensive heavy weapons, Gordon, Feng Ying, and Gene who was dragging a sledgehammer, all immediately aimed at the head of the mysterious ancient dragon.

But the monster had only one head, which obviously couldn't accommodate the three of them.

Feng Ying smacked her lips. She had just released a super solution and the energy in the bottle was exhausted. It seemed unnecessary to go for the head again, so she followed Hayatamaka to chop the dragon's wings.

If one more wing could be cut off, the mysterious ancient dragon's ability to release vibration attacks would be weakened by another level.

In front of the mysterious ancient dragon, Gene waved his hammer excitedly.

In terms of weight, the sledgehammer is no lighter than the greatsword.

However, due to the torque effect caused by the length of the weapon and the fact that inertia can be used all the time when swinging, the attack frequency of the sledgehammer is much higher than that of the greatsword.

Although to outsiders, the sledgehammer looks heavy, clumsy and slow, in fact, it is one of the most flexible heavy weapons.

In addition, as a blunt weapon, it has unique striking ability.

The sledgehammer is arguably one of the most suitable weapons for headlocks.

"Huooohhh!" Gene screamed and swung the rough hammer made from the horns of a golden lion, smashing it again and again.

Gordon stepped back a few steps, giving Gene room to swing his weapon with all his strength.

He threw a strange power pill into his mouth, then swung his sword, stirred up his fighting spirit, and activated the beast soul [Lion].

Feeling the amazing momentum coming from behind, Gene stepped up his attack not to be outdone.

The ferocious blows, which were enough to shatter the skulls of ordinary monsters, continued to hit the brain of the mysterious ancient dragon as the sledgehammer was swung, making it dizzy and even its struggling movements became somewhat chaotic and weak.

"Hey!"

Gene roared, swung the sledgehammer to its full potential, condensed the inertia accumulated before into a force, and smashed it hard on the head of the mysterious ancient dragon, ending this series of combos.

The pointed hammer head smashed the petal-like layered shell on the top of the mysterious ancient dragon's head. Under the violent impact, the former's body trembled violently and its muscles relaxed.

This is a sign of suffocation.

Although the strong nerves of the ancient dragon species meant that this dizziness would not last long, perhaps only a few seconds? But this was enough for Gordon.

After completing the attack, Gene immediately rolled to the side to give up the frontal attack position.

Potion blessing, courage state, beast soul possession, armor restrictions are completely lifted, power accumulation is complete
Feeling the terrifying power that was about to break free from his control, Gordon no longer suppressed the urging roar in his mind.

With a roar that was not like that of a human, the greatsword of inscription slashed down heavily with a burning and boiling blood-red fighting spirit.

If the power of the attack could be accurately quantified, this might be the most powerful sword he has ever used since he became a hunter!
"boom!"

Rather than a slashing blow, it sounded more like a dull thud of impact.

The mysterious ancient dragon's head was smashed hard onto the ground, creating large cracks on the ground. At the same time, the irreconcilable impact was returned, bouncing its head back up.

The shell and skin on the forehead of the mysterious ancient dragon were torn apart. As the sword blade dragged and slashed, a bloody wound deep into the skull was revealed, like an open vertical eye.

The blood of the ancient dragon gushed out and landed on the black armor of [Crazy Pattern].

The blood drops had no time to roll down, but seeped into the black armor with a series of hair-raising "sizzling" sounds, and were completely swallowed up by the black armor.

Feeling the joy growing from the bottom of his heart, Gordon revealed a crazy and sinister smile.

"Are you satisfied now? It's not over yet."

He exerted force with both arms, pulled the blood-stained greatsword of inscriptions out of the wound that looked like a pupil of flesh and blood, and picked it up again.

He was planning to deal a few more ruthless blows while the effects of the strange power pill and the beast soul possession were still not completely gone.

The mysterious ancient dragon with blood all over its head suddenly opened its strange pair of golden and red eyes.
