Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1034 Unable to Escape

Gordon turned his head and looked back.

The moment his eyes met the monster, he knew that he could not escape.

He stopped and turned around, holding the hilt of the sword hanging diagonally behind him, and calmed down.

With the light of the rising sun on the horizon, Gordon was able to see the whole picture of the monster.

The curved horns, the thick limbs, the sharp bone spines all over the body, and most importantly, the violent malice that wanted to destroy everything.

All this made him immediately confirm the identity of the attacker.

"Nergigat (Exterminating Dragon)."

The other three also stopped.

Anyone could feel the boiling murderous intent emanating from the monster.

Two-legged creatures can never outrun four-legged creatures, and even four-legged creatures can't outrun four legs and a pair of wings.

After clarifying the opponent's attack intentions, the hunters prepared for the battle.

Since there was no escape, there was no need to escape.

"Attack!" Gordon shouted and launched a charge.

Facing the opponent who dared to rush towards him, the Nergigante opened his bloody mouth and let out a fierce roar that shook the entire mountain range.

The huge noise affected the hunters' actions. Xianglan immediately took down the huge musical instrument hanging behind her, played it vigorously, waved a small fan, and danced to inspire.

Its behavior looked very strange, but as the melody of the music spread, the effect of the roaring sound was offset, and the hunters felt a kind of "excitement" from the inside out.

Negative emotions such as worry, fear, and uneasiness were also dispelled in an instant, and even the spirit became focused.

Taking advantage of the "courage" accumulated in the previous fight with the Explosive Scale Dragon, Gordon directly entered the courage state.

The Grand Commander called the Nergigante "Ancient Dragon Killer". There is no doubt that it is an absolutely strong enemy.

There is no room for easy testing.

Gordon had a hunch that if he didn't show his strongest state at the beginning, it would not be surprising to be seriously injured or even killed directly at the moment of contact.

Noticing the change in Gordon's aura, Hayata immediately entered the courageous state, and the speed of the charge was immediately raised to a higher level.

The two separated, Gordon rushed straight to the front of the Nergigante, while Hayata made a detour and tried to approach from the side and rear.

Perhaps because of the influence of the essence of the Tyrannosaurus brought by the [Greed] suit, the Nergigante's sight was fixed on Gordon.

Facing the great swordsman who was about to rush in front of him, the Nergigante took the lead and raised the sharp claws that could leave deep scars on the skull of the ancient dragon species, and slapped down at Gordon.

"So fast!"

Gordon hurriedly adjusted his steps and slid sideways.

Nergigante's attack was rough and direct without any fancy.

The claw swing driven by the powerful muscle power was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. It was obviously the most ordinary attack, but it showed a terrifying power.

The basalt ground, which was difficult to leave a mark even with ordinary swords and knives, was not much stronger than mud in front of this claw, and was torn into a large pit full of cracks.

Gordon slid in time to avoid the attack, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the follow-up attacks came one after another.

What was coming was the wide bloody mouth full of sharp teeth. The distance of sliding to dodge was definitely not enough. Gordon had no other choice but to fly forward and roll.

"Crack!" The sound of the gums clenching could almost deafen people.

Gordon could even feel a strong wind blowing behind him. The simple biting action could actually set off an air wave. How outrageous is this guy's bite force.

Is this the "Ancient Dragon Killer" who hunts ancient dragons with his body?

Gordon flew under the body of the Exterminating Dragon and stood up to slash. The Inscription Great Sword swept across the former's chest, leaving a long and narrow knife mark.

Fortunately, the sharpness of the Inscription Great Sword was enough to break the opponent's defense.

If even the purple-flavored blade could not cut through the scales of the Exterminating Dragon, then there would be no need to fight this battle.

The monster's body was relatively safe. Gordon, who had just finished his stand-up slash, was about to continue swinging his sword to attack, but he found that the muscles on the chest and abdomen of the Nergigante were tense.

A strong sense of crisis made him stop attacking immediately, and he raised his greatsword to enter a defensive posture.

Almost at the moment when he put his sword away to block, the Nergigante leaped up.

Like a hedgehog, the chest and abdomen without thorns were its weaknesses. The Nergigante obviously didn't want an opponent to get under it and mess around. As soon as it felt a little pain, it jumped away immediately.

At the same time, it didn't forget to swing its mace-like tail and sweep it towards the hunter under it.

"Ziga--!"

The black bone thorns scraped a streak of sparks on the sword surface, and the powerful impact that was difficult to resolve forced Gordon to jump back a big step to relieve the force.

This was just a sweep of the tail at the same time as the jump.

Excluding those super-giant ancient dragons that were out of specification, in terms of physical strength, the only one who could be compared with this guy was the "Demon of All Killers" deep in the desert, whom he had never defeated.

Even the Furious Tyrannosaurus Rex was slightly inferior.

There was a slight sound of breaking wind behind him, but Gordon did not dodge because he knew it was not an attack.

The support crossbow bullets filled with red potion exploded on him. As the potion penetrated into the gaps in the armor and was absorbed by the skin, Gordon felt his muscles slightly warmed up and his strength increased slightly.

This was the effect of the demon bullet.

In the distance, after shooting Gordon, Gale moved his crosshairs to Hayata who was rushing towards the Nergigante.

In this battle, she positioned herself as a "medicine shooter".

It just so happened that she brought a lot of recovery bullets and demon bullets.

Hayata, who was also sprayed with red liquid, charged at a higher speed. She quickly cut into the right side of the body of the Nergigante and swung her sword to attack.

The Nergigante jumped and clawed, but Hayata avoided it with a knife.

Having witnessed the brief confrontation between Gordon and Nergigante, she knew how fast the latter's movements were. After avoiding the knife, she did not raise her blade to fight back as usual, but immediately rolled on the ground.

Sure enough, the next second, the giant tail of the Nergigante, like a mace, hit the place where she had just stood.

While the attention of the Nergigante was attracted by Hayata, Gordon roared and rushed forward, taking over the position of the main vanguard again.

He quickly came to the side of the head of the Nergigante, and took advantage of the force of the charge, stepped forward and carried the sword, and completed the accumulation of power in a very short time.

It didn't seem to be accumulating power, but it seemed that the ordinary sword-drawing slash was a little slower than half a beat.

This is a high-speed power-accumulating slash that can only be performed when the courage is in a state and the mind is extremely concentrated.

The inscription sword carried a great force and slashed at the side of the neck of the Nergigante.

However, it was this short period of power accumulation, less than a second, that gave the Nergigante time to react. It turned its head suddenly, and while looking back at the greatsword user, it raised its horn on one side to block the sword.

"Crack!"

The sword and the curved horn collided with each other.

The purple slashing blade, which represented the highest level of human craftsmanship, only smashed an inconspicuous crack on the curled horn.

For the giant horn with a diameter of more than one meter, this was not worth mentioning at all.

The clash between the sword and the horn lasted only a very short moment.

The Nergigante raised its horn again, and Gordon, who was not comparable to it in terms of size and muscle strength, was thrown back several steps.

Before he could stand firmly, the claws of the Nergigante, which were still stained with the blood of the Explosive Scale Dragon, had already swung down.
