Of course, he was well aware of the ancient dragon's power, so he didn't blame Bai Feng; he was just thinking about how to deal with it.

Should we allocate some of the ballistae and cannons? Or should we add more hunters...?

However, just as he was thinking, he saw Bai Feng riding a pterosaur, closely following behind the Nergigante, gesturing to him.

"Don't attack? Heh, this guy..."

The Commander-in-Chief chuckled and shook his head, then immediately issued a loud order:

"Everyone else, ignore that Nergigante guy and keep up the original pace, attack Zorah Magdaros!"

However, the moment he gave the order, the scene that unfolded before him shocked him so much that he slightly opened his mouth—

After drawing a semi-circular arc in the air, Nergigante arrived in front of Lavasioth and launched an attack!

"Nergigante is attacking Zorah Magdaros...?!"

Not only the commander-in-chief, but all the hunters who witnessed this scene found it somewhat unbelievable.

Upon seeing this, the sword master waiting beside the commander-in-chief unconsciously murmured:

"Could this guy also be here to stop the Lava Dragon?"

"what?"

The commander-in-chief was astonished by the sword master's audacious conjecture, but the current situation made him think that the truth might indeed be so.

But what surprised him didn't stop there. Suddenly, the white meteor from before rose up from the back of the Lava Dragon again, streaking across the sky at high speed, and finally fell directly to a spot not far from where he was.

He, the sword master, and the hunters around him immediately drew their weapons and looked over warily. Only after the meteor landed did they realize with astonishment that the white meteor was actually two human girls.

After being led to a safe location by Meiruchina, Fujimaru Ritsuka got off her and said to her:

"Go and help out too. Just don't hurt the Lavasioth, and drive it away."

"Well, I see."

Meiliuqina nodded, then glanced around to make sure that these people posed no threat to Fujimaru Ritsuka before taking to the air again and attacking the Lava Dragon.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked in the direction where Meyruchina had left, and the hunters around her unconsciously followed her gaze.

Then, to their astonishment, Melyuchina, once again transforming into a shooting star, slammed into the Lava Dragon's chin from below. The immense impact caused the dragon to uncontrollably tilt its head back, letting out its loudest howl yet—

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!”

I couldn't find a picture of the sword master online, I'll take a screenshot in the game later.

Chapter 263 Repelling the Lava Dragon: Formal Contact Between the Two Worlds

"So, they've repelled them...?"

As the Lava Dragon submerged into the water and slowly turned back to swim overseas, the Commander-in-Chief appeared slightly dazed.

The situation is much easier than expected. They didn't even need to use their secret weapon, the Dragon Slayer Gun, to successfully repel the Zorah Magdaros.

This is because too many unexpected situations arose during this operation.

First, the Nergigante, which they initially thought was there to disrupt their battle, inexplicably attacked the Lavasioth as well.

Secondly, there were two mysterious girls who suddenly appeared.

Among the two of them, the one who could fly freely in the air like a meteor was particularly powerful. With just a few moves, she had already inflicted more damage on the Lavasioth than all the hunters combined had done to it.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that there were such powerful hunters in the world.

It's even more exaggerated than Bai Feng.

"Master, the mission is complete."

At this moment, Meiliu Qina returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, and Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded to her, saying:

"Well, please."

The commander-in-chief glanced at the two girls with some curiosity. Although he had many questions he wanted to ask, the current situation wasn't the time to completely relax.

Because Nergigante has not left yet.

Although Nergigante seemed to be helping them defeat Zorah Magdaros, the exact reason is still unclear. Moreover, no hunter can afford to be complacent when facing such a powerful and ferocious Elder Dragon.

Just then, seeing the Lavasioth leave the cave, the Nergigante, which had been circling in the air, suddenly changed direction and swooped down toward the location of the Commander-in-Chief and his men.

"Nergigante is coming! Be careful!"

Upon seeing this, the sword master immediately drew his katana and shielded the commander-in-chief behind him, ready for battle.

"Boom."

However, Nergigante's target was not them.

As it approached the ground, it flapped its wings again to cushion its fall, and then gently landed beside the two girls who were not far from them.

However, neither the girl who had been standing still nor the powerful dual-wielder reacted to the arrival of Nergigante, as if they had not noticed its presence at all.

"careful!"

The commander-in-chief immediately reminded him anxiously.

The swordsmanship master reacted quickly and rushed towards the location of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Although the girl's origins are unknown, her identity is undoubtedly that of one of our fellow human beings.

Moreover, during the battle to repel the Lava Dragon, the powerful companion who appeared with her also helped them; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her their benefactor.

More importantly, no matter how powerful a hunter is, their physical strength is extremely fragile in the face of an Elder Dragon's attack. If they are attacked by a Nergigante without any defense, then death is all that awaits them!

"Roar--!"

However, after Nergigante gently landed beside the two girls, it did not show any intention to attack.

Not only that, but upon seeing the sword master approaching with his knife, it immediately took a step forward, shielding one of the girls behind it, and let out a threatening growl as if issuing a warning.

Is the Nergigante protecting that girl?

The scene before them left everyone speechless, some unable to believe their eyes.

The idea of ​​ancient dragons protecting humanity is a fantastical scene they could never have imagined, a true challenge to the hunters' worldview.

What's more, that's the ancient dragon slayer known for its mystery and brutality, the Exterminator!

"this……?"

The sword master, who had originally intended to save the person, stopped in his tracks upon seeing the unbelievable scene before him, a strange feeling rising within him—

I came here to save people, so why am I being treated like I came to kill them?

Just then, Bai Feng returned on a pterosaur and landed beside the Commander-in-Chief.

"aibo!"

At this moment, a girl who appeared to be a non-combatant, upon seeing Bai Feng's return, disregarded the current situation and excitedly ran towards her, saying happily:

"Aibo, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Upon seeing his partner, Bai Feng also revealed a genuine smile.

After giving his partner a slight nod, Bai Feng looked back at the Commander-in-Chief and reported what he had learned.

"..."

Of course, he still didn't say a word.

The Commander-in-Chief could only feel helpless about his ace hunter's eccentric personality, but fortunately, after spending time together, he could roughly understand what the other party wanted to express even without speaking.

"...Two mysterious girls, are they companions of Nergigante?...Speaking a language I can't understand...?"

After listening to Bai Feng's account, the Commander-in-Chief found it hard to believe, but the scene before him forced him to accept the bizarre truth.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, there won't be any danger."

With Fujimaru Ritsuka's reassurance, Nergigante finally calmed down a bit, but it still looked warily at the sword master and the white wind behind him.

After calming down the Nergigante, Fujimaru Ritsuka walked to the front of the group. Seeing this, the Commander-in-Chief quickly made a decision and led Shirakaze to meet them.

"Hello."

When the Commander-in-Chief came over, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and extended her right hand to greet him.

Although she couldn't understand the language Fujimaru Ritsuka was speaking, her friendly attitude was obvious.

The Commander-in-Chief then extended his right hand, shook hands with Fujimaru Ritsuka, and responded with a friendly smile:

"Hello."

The moment their hands clasped together, the Commander-in-Chief's first thought was:

I'm so weak.

So he immediately reduced the pressure on his hands, being very careful, afraid of hurting the other person.

No matter how you look at it, the other person is just an ordinary human girl, but the language she speaks is one he has never heard before, which makes him a little curious.

In any case, both sides have taken a friendly first step.

"Please wait a moment and don't panic. My next actions are not malicious."

Then, as Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she gestured to them to express her meaning.

The commander-in-chief and others were somewhat puzzled and hesitant upon seeing this, but given the girl's friendly attitude so far, they chose to believe her.

Then, in the next moment, they watched in astonishment and disbelief as the girl reached her hand into an alternate dimension and took out an exquisitely crafted wooden staff.

【Druid's Staff】.

This was a Valentine's Day gift from Cú Chulainn of the Caster class. It was not only a superior staff, but also pre-engraved with many spells. Once the corresponding engravings were activated, they could be released, making it perfect for a magic novice like her.

Because she often travels through worlds like this and encounters language barriers, the Druid's Staff is also engraved with magic that can solve this problem.

Amidst the surprised and wary gazes of the crowd, Fujimaru Ritsuka channeled her magic into the Druid's Staff, activating the corresponding magical crest—

A generalist approach to magic, the song of the Tower of Babel!

Suddenly, a mark on the Druid's staff lit up, and then an invisible wave emanated from the staff, spreading outwards and passing through the bodies of everyone nearby.

After releasing the magic, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the group of people in front of her again and said with a smile:
