Chapter 128, Ascend!
The pain from the tendon in its tail slowed down the Savage Jaw Dragon’s steps as it stomped towards the source of the pain with its massive footpad.
The huge katana was raised high. The female hunter’s dance-like steps spun and dodged the beast dragon’s kick, then lunged forward with a thrust.
Observation Slash!
The blade tip once again pierced the beast dragon’s tendon, and as she pressed her body forward, straining her arms, the momentum shifted from vertical to horizontal, slicing through with a sweeping cut.
A cascade of blood flowers rained down with her spinning motion.
Then sheathed the blade?
No, she had already discarded the sheath behind her.
A katana longer than a person is difficult to draw normally, often requiring a side-opening design.
But some hunters find drawing from the side uncomfortable, so they prefer to point the sheath at the ground and discard it to draw the katana.
There was no need for sheathing; the massive katana spun again with her steps, tearing into the ground leaving shattered marks.
Upper Sweep Slash!
The crack extended onto the robust thigh of the beast dragon.
“Shoo Er!”
Impressed by the female hunter’s agile dance-like movements, the gunner whistled, changing angles and unleashing more ammunition.
With teammates drawing aggro and taking risks, the gunner couldn’t slack off; he must strive to inflict damage on the monster.
The ammunition began concentrating on the beast dragon’s legs, softening its tough scales so that the katana could cause more significant harm.
Sensing an increased threat level from the small one, the Savage Jaw Dragon’s moves were no longer limited to stomping; it turned around, lowering its head and biting toward the tiny hunter.
This tiny hunter wielded a large blade, a two-meter-long great katana surpassing the length of most monsters’ claws. Its concentrated muscles weren’t much inferior to the monsters, allowing her to wield it and significantly injure the monster.
Like now, the hunter narrowly avoided the snapping jaws, but the blade did not.
The finest steel forged into a gigantic katana in the hands of the most excellent hunter clashed as the hunter’s resolve met the brute force of the monster.
The brute force was split by the blade tip, pulling a long bloody scar across the beast dragon’s face, even grazing near the monster’s eye socket.
Blood and pain flowed into the eyes of the Savage Jaw Dragon, spreading over them, forming a blood-red vision.
“ROAR!!!”
The cry of pain was covered by an angry roar, the sound wave materializing into flames, sweeping toward the female hunter below.
“Grass Grass Grass Grass! This thing can breathe fire too!”
Seeing her companion’s figure obscured by flames, the gunner lifted his head from the sight line.
Despite the obvious astonishment in his words, there wasn’t a trace of panic or fear in his eyes.
His sharp and calm gaze scanned over, instantly spotting the current weakness of the Savage Jaw Dragon.
The wing membranes on its back, the brightness in its throat.
“Let me cool you down a bit!”
With a flick of the clip on the heavy crossbow, specially made ammunition poured out from the cannon under the beast’s mouth.
Considering this thing was still breathing fire, his ammunition accurately exploded on the Savage Jaw Dragon’s throbbing throat, creating patches of water mist.
Water Cooling Rounds!
Clearly, a couple of water cooling rounds wouldn’t be enough.
Thinking about this, the gunner aimed the crossbow cannon at the ground nearby, the close-range explosion of water cooling rounds condensed a layer of icy mist on the barrel.
Cool down, continue firing.
Injuring the monster relies on persistence; giving up because you don’t see immediate results won’t work.
And beneath the beast dragon, the blade pierced through the fire waves, entwined with the water mist being dried, stabbing into the light in the monster’s throat.
“Grunt!”
The beast dragon groaned as it flipped and fell to the ground, exposing its greatest vulnerability to the poised great katana.
“Go~”
Gripping the hilt with both hands under her armpits, the disheveled female hunter stamped her feet on the ground, charging towards the monster’s chest.
The blade pierced the monster’s chest but stopped short; her steps mercilessly stepped on it.
Using the force from the monster’s struggling chest thrust, she stepped forward, leaping high!
The blade slashed downward ——
Dragon Ascend! Slash!
The landing point had been carefully adjusted while stepping, cutting towards the beast dragon’s neck.
Blood burst forth, leaving a grotesque wound on the monster’s neck, with copious amounts of blood gushing out.
“Huff!”
The female hunter wielding the katana stood against the spray of blood, shaking her tied-up ponytail.
“It’s not over yet— I grass!!”
Regardless of whether the unknown beast dragon would die after being sealed with one slash, the gunner’s exclamation was due to seeing the big guy who had appeared with a tail slash on the beast dragon.
“Huh?”
The female hunter turned with a questioning tone, her expression instantly freezing.
A massive blade loomed over her head, bringing a chilling coldness. The unknown beast-type monster was firmly pinned down by the blade, no longer struggling or moving.
If it weren’t for the much taller beast dragon cushioning the blade below, she might have been dead already.
Her body’s instinctual reaction came late, raising the katana above her head as if to block.
Realizing it didn’t matter, but she didn’t lower the stance of holding the sword.
Only to see that the massive blade withdrew, carrying flowing blood, revealing a ferocious iron mask from behind the beast dragon.
The indigo iron mask reflected solemn cold light.
Slaying Dragon. Another Slaying Dragon.
How could she fight this?
The toughness of the scales and steel armor were completely different levels; even elite hunters needed plenty of mental and physical preparation when facing a Slaying Dragon.
Fortunately, she wasn’t alone.
The gunner had already fired a signal flare into the sky, and the nearest hunter had arrived behind her, unsheathing his small dual blades.
Kind of disappointing, really.
Three missing one, someone with an advantageous weapon should come.
Katana, dual blades, and heavy crossbows are not tools to open Slaying Dragon cans.
“Phew, phew, almost got hit trying to finish off the Savage Jaw Dragon.”
Seeing the Savage Jaw Dragon fall, Jié Jié sighed in relief after jumping in with a great leap to deliver the finishing blow, then saw the signal flare shot into the sky.
And the hunters gathered before him, three missing one.
Bad news, he seemed to have been mistaken for the boss. What now?
Looking at the female hunter standing center stage, wasn’t she the one who tried to pat his head earlier?
And seeing the Savage Jaw Dragon that had been defeated before he arrived.
Jié Jié thought they could try fighting, the hunters could give it a go.
So let’s battle!
The Sword Tail swept towards the swordsman and the female hunter at a probing speed. The swordsman instantly crouched to avoid it, then sidestepped and slashed at his tail, sparking a series of sparks.
The female hunter with the katana, meanwhile, lowered her body, spun her steps, and grazed past his Sword Tail with an Observation Slash.
Jié Jié jumped slightly, avoiding the Savage Jaw Dragon’s gasping body, swinging his tail to the other side and thrusting towards the hunters, who rolled out of the way.
Meanwhile, the swordsman had already stepped onto the tail tip of the Savage Jaw Dragon, running swiftly along its body like walking on flat ground.
When he reached the head of the Savage Jaw Dragon, his body tilted to one side, twisting and spinning to jump.
The blade rushed toward Jié Jié’s unwithdrawn Sword Tail.
