Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

If it really is Nergigante, then she is currently in the world of Monster Hunter, and should be in the Ancient Forest region of the New World.

Fujimaru Ritsuka silently recalled her memories of Monster Hunter and compared them with the current situation, gradually understanding the current circumstances.

At the same time, the Nergigante on the other side finally regained consciousness.

To it, Fujimaru Ritsuka was like an appetizer it stumbled upon while foraging for food. So it never imagined that it would be knocked to the ground by this appetizer. Although the damage was not great, it was extremely humiliating and made it feel very ashamed.

The shame in its heart turned into anger, and its gaze refocused, glaring fiercely at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"—"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pursed her lips, remaining vigilant, and thus confronted Nergigante.

However, during the standoff, for some reason, the anger in the eyes of the Destroyer Dragon slowly subsided. It tilted its head slightly, its expression inexplicably becoming somewhat puzzled. It began to slowly pace around her, looking her up and down, as if trying to confirm something.

".?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also puzzled. She sensed that the hostility Nergigante seemed to be gradually disappearing, but she didn't understand why it was now circling around her.

We can't just mistake her for someone else like Bo Dao did, can we?

In any case, it would be best if things could end peacefully without fighting.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Meimeizi was actually a dragon.

Elder Dragons are a special type of monster in the game. They possess powerful bodies and extraordinary strength comparable to natural disasters. They are at the pinnacle of all biological races, having survived since a time even earlier than the Primordial Era, and are rare beings that have broken away from the basic ecosystem.

Elder dragons can easily alter the ecosystem of the surrounding area, causing incalculable damage to the environment. Therefore, they are regarded as "manifestations of natural phenomena and disasters" and "the world's greatest threat."

Nergigante is an Elder Dragon, but it is a very special Elder Dragon.

It does not possess the special ability to alter the ecological environment like other Elder Dragons; it simply has superhuman strength and regenerative abilities. It has been fighting other Elder Dragons for years and directly preying on its losers, earning it the title of "Elder Dragon Slayer."

Based on its unique habits, it was also recognized as a "guardian of ecological balance" in the later stages of the game.

Therefore, facing such a powerful dragon, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not willing to engage in conflict with it. Seeing that the dragon seemed to have no intention of attacking her again, she raised her hands to indicate that she had no intention of fighting and prepared to slowly retreat and leave, ending the standoff.

However, upon seeing her like this, the massive Nergigante leaped up nimbly and landed behind her, blocking her escape route, seemingly unwilling to let her leave.

Then, he continued to scrutinize her, his eyes filled with doubt and inquiry.

???

Looking at it like this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely baffled:

No, what are you doing?

Playing a rogue, right?

You won't fight, and you won't let me leave. What exactly do you want? Can't you just give me a straight answer?

"that.?"

Although the chances were slim, she began to try to speak up and see if she could communicate and discuss it with the other party.

But just then, a dark shadow rose from the side, and another uninvited guest appeared—

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!”

The moment it appeared, the other party let out a furious roar. The deafening roar made Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly cover her ears with her hands, but even so, she was still somewhat numb from the powerful sound waves.

At the same time, her gaze fell upon the other party, and what came into view was a bipedal dragon that looked very standard, with a reddish body and a rock-gray nose.

This time, she recognized the other person's identity with great ease—

"Rathalos!"

Rathalos Leoreth is a classic monster in Monster Hunter, appearing in every generation of the game, making it a true workhorse among Monster Hunters.

It is not an Elder Dragon, but just an ordinary Flying Dragon. Due to its outstanding flying ability, it is known as the "King of the Sky" or "King of the Great Sky". It is also known as the "King of Flying Dragons" because of its high level of danger, which combines combat power and ferocity.

Only then did she realize that the place she was standing in seemed to be the lair of a Rathalos.

No wonder the other person looked so angry.

The male Rathalos flapped its wings in mid-air, looking down arrogantly at the intruders below. But before it could even make out the intruders' faces, an even more deafening roar came from below—

It is the Extinction Dragon.

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!!!”

The savage aura that Nergigante had been suppressing was instantly released. Rathalos, which had been like a king descending, suddenly started to flutter like a startled bird, no longer caring about the majesty of the king of the sky, and wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Whether it's the "King of the Sky" or the "King of Wyverns," it's still just an ordinary flying dragon. In the face of the Elder Dragons, who are known as the "moving natural disasters," it can only become food.

Moreover, Nergigante is an even more terrifying Elder Dragon slayer.

It was too late to run away.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 256 Meimeizi is a naughty child who needs to be taught a lesson!

To Nergigante, Rathalos's roar was undoubtedly a provocation.

How could a mere flying dragon dare to act so arrogantly in front of it?

The male fire dragon felt extremely wronged. It only knew that its home had been invaded, but who knew that one of the intruders was an ancient dragon.

If I had known earlier, it would have flown as far away as possible.

But it was too late to say anything more. The Rathalos desperately flapped its wings and took off, trying to escape the area.

However, with a powerful push from its strong legs and a flapping of its wings, Nergigante pounced forward, almost instantly closing in on Rathalos. Its powerful right hand firmly gripped Rathalos's neck, and using its weight, it pulled Rathalos down from the sky and slammed it hard onto the ground!

"boom!"

“Ho ho ho—!”

Rathalos let out a painful roar, struggling incessantly, but it was completely unable to resist the immense power of Nergigante.

Then, a blazing red light began to emanate from its mouth, aimed at Nergigante, seemingly preparing for a desperate fight. But what it received in return was Nergigante's equally powerful left arm—

"boom!"

With a powerful slam, the palm struck the Rathalos's head, cracking its skull open instantly. It had no chance to attack again, and its struggling body fell silent, entering a deep sleep.

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!!!”

After doing all this, Nergigante roughly threw the Rathalos's corpse aside and roared fiercely at it, as if to say, 'This is what happens when you provoke me!'

After witnessing all of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but mourn for Rathalos for three seconds, lamenting its injustice and misfortune.

It's perfectly reasonable for a male Rathalos to protect its nest and drive away intruders.

On the contrary, you, the Exterminator, not only trespassed into someone else's territory, but also turned around and killed the master. It's simply outrageous.

Where did these bandits and robbers come from?

"Roar!"

On the other side, after defeating Rathalos, Nergigante turned to look at her and roared at her.

However, compared to the roar directed at Rathalos, this roar at her sounded more like a complaint of dissatisfaction.

But the question is, why?!

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't understand what this bullying Nergigante was trying to do. Surely it wasn't trying to wear her down to death here?

If that's the case, she doesn't intend to sit idly by and wait for her fate.

Coincidentally, Nergigante didn't seem to intend to continue the stalemate. Suddenly, it pounced on her, seemingly preparing to attack.

She never let her guard down, and the moment she saw the other party make a move, she immediately prepared to summon her Spirit Origin Shadow.

However, this time, she also failed to sense any hostility or danger from Nergigante.

why?

It was this momentary hesitation that caused her to pause slightly, allowing Nergigante to rush in front of her and grab her.

"Eh?"

With Fujimaru Ritsuka completely bewildered, the Nergigante that grabbed her flapped its wings, took to the air, and flew with her in a completely different direction from the camp.

"Hey, where are you taking me?!"

This is a region completely different from the ancient tree forest. Almost no plants can be seen with the naked eye; there are only rocks everywhere and large swathes of dazzling white crystals.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should currently be in an area called the Dragon's Recess, in the lair of the exterminated dragon.

Not only her, but the Rathalos that had been killed was also brought back by Nergigante. At this moment, it placed the Rathalos's corpse in front of her and looked at her expectantly.

"..."

She still doesn't fully understand the situation.

All she knew was that after Nergigante brought her home, it first looked her over like it was a new toy, then pushed her back and forth, and now it was feeding her.

No, shouldn't the Nergigante she remembered be a brutal and ruthless battle maniac?

Why is this person acting like a brat?

However, it is certain that Nergigante seems to have indeed regarded her as a companion.

It's also possible that they treated her like a toy.

But why?

Just because she was wearing the "You Are Also a Dragon Suit"?

More importantly, looking at the expectant look in Nergigante's eyes, how could she tell it that she didn't eat raw food?

"……roar!"

Perhaps after fiddling with Fujimaru Ritsuka for a while and finding that she wouldn't eat anything, Nergigante finally became a little impatient, roared at her in dissatisfaction, and then pushed her to the ground with a finger.

"All right!"

The Nergigante's lair isn't as comfortable as the Rathalos's; the ground is covered in cold, hard white crystals, and it still hurts quite a bit if you fall on your bottom.

Having been toyed with for so long without gaining anything, she felt she couldn't continue like this. So she got up from the ground, and said with a slightly more serious expression:

"If you keep doing that, I'll get angry!"

"Roar--!"
