Monster Hunter Gathering

She... didn't seem to have told David what her dream was, but how did David know?

"Actually, I'm a prophet, so I know everything." David smiled at Lucy. "I also know...that you will live happily and happily here in the future..."

The next moment David said this, the impatient Adam Hammer smashed the back of David's head with a shotgun, but David smiled at Lucy with his head rapidly rolling and regenerating, "I said before... I just like you like this. No, I just like you."

"So...I want to be a legend!"

David let go of Lucy, spun around abruptly, and slammed his fist at Adam, facing the next shotgun shell. "I'm going to snatch you from the moon! I'm going to snatch you from this hell of Night City and bring you back to this beautiful world!"

"Adam...HAMMER!!!!!!!!!"

David roared and punched Adam Hammer in the chest.

With the sound of breaking bones, the cyborg monster that looked like a steel tank was knocked away by David's punch, smashing the wall of the factory in the distance and falling into a pile of rubble.

"Brother Mann! Please take Lucy away!!"

David's right wrist and finger bones were broken by the punch, but they were recovering rapidly under the [Super Recovery Force] of the evil ghost equipment.

"Leave the heavy hammer to me, Adam!!!"

David drew his rifle and rushed towards the direction where Adam's sledgehammer was knocked away.

Adam's hammer, which had been knocked away, also flew out from the ruins again, with a red light shining from its mechanical prosthetic eye.

"Bastard! Who do you think you are! You are just a piece of meat... I am the meat grinder!" There was a fist mark printed on the armor on Adam Hammer's chest, which made Adam Hammer fall into a rage.

"Stop talking nonsense, you piece of junk! Even if I have to go to hell, I'll crawl out and destroy you completely!"

The steel monster and the young hunter suddenly collided with each other, and the huge sound produced by the impact was particularly clear in the empty factory.

Mann didn't hesitate.

Although he didn't know why David became so strong, Mann understood... this was the last chance for all of them.

David said that, obviously because he couldn't protect everyone by himself, so he entrusted Lucy to himself as well.

"Dorio!! Pyrrha!! Rebecca!"

Mann roared, picked up Rebecca who was beside him, then jumped to Falco, kicked open the door of the overturned car and pulled him out.

Then, Mann threw Rebecca towards Pyrrha, while he himself rushed directly in the direction of Lucy.

"A bunch of rotten bastards! You all have to die here!"

Adam Hammer noticed the actions of others, and a large number of mechanical missiles shot out from his body. It was obvious that he wanted to completely bomb the place and kill everyone.

But... the moment Adam Hammer's missile broke out of his body, David rushed in front of Adam Hammer against the blast, slammed down the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger.

The dragon-strike bullets in the gunlance were fully released at this moment, and the completely explosive force detonated all the missiles in mid-air.

The huge explosion at close range blew Adam's sledgehammer back, and David was burned beyond recognition in the explosion at close range, with even his internal organs and ribs exposed.

The body was recovering at a rapid speed, but the pain it brought stimulated David even more, causing David to charge towards Adam's hammer again with red eyes.

"Damn kid..." Adam Chongchui found that he was actually entangled by such a young boy.

While David was fighting for time, Mann also carried Lucy on his shoulders, Dolio also grabbed the incapacitated Qiwei, and Pyrrha carried Rebecca, and everyone rushed out of the factory together.

"Mann! David..."

Lucy looked at David's fighting back and tried to struggle to get off Mann, but was held tightly by another Falco on Mann.

"David was determined to leave like that!" Falco yelled at Lucy, "Now all we have to do is not cause him any trouble!"

"Mann! Go to this coordinate! I've prepared other vehicles!!!" Falco yelled in Mann's ear: "Run! The farther away from here, the better!"

"Let my brother go!" Rebecca was also struggling on Pyrrha's body: "Let me kill that mechanical idiot!"

"Let's find a safe place!" Pyrrha had lost his playful mood. As the team's cyborg doctor, he knew that everyone was in a bad condition. "We need to get treatment first!"

At this moment, in the factory behind them, various sounds of fighting were heard, which meant that the fight between David and Adam's hammer was still going on.

"Let's go... let's go to the afterlife!"

written request for leave

I'm going to take a leave of absence for something, and then I'll see if I can finish the battle in one go like last time.

Chapter 250 Mann's Decision

In the short time that Mann and the others drove away, the parts factory that originally belonged to Arasaka Corporation had been turned into a pile of ruins in the battle between Adam Hammer and David.

Adam Hammer witnessed David's body recovering from fatal injuries time and time again. That high recovery ability that came from nowhere made David completely change his fighting style compared to last time.

Last time, David had to take care of his prosthetic body, so he tried his best not to get injured in the battle with Adam's hammer.

But this time the prosthesis was gone, so David didn't care too much about Adam's hammer attack.

"Now...are you still special? Adam Hammer!"

David held the rifle behind him and made two consecutive blast charges, allowing David to hit Adam Hammer with his shield. Together, the two of them smashed several walls of the factory. Adam Hammer also turned around and pointed the grenade launcher in his hand at David's chest.

With the collapse of the building and the explosion of the grenade, David and Adam Hammer were buried in the rubble.

When both men stood up from the ruins, Adam's hammer showed some wear and tear, while David's chest and stomach had been blown apart by the grenade that had just been embedded, and he was now recovering rapidly.

"Damn boy."

Adam Hammer stared at David furiously.

The kid in front of him had been provoking him in the fight since the very beginning.

Moreover, he was like a dog-skin plaster, clinging tightly to Adam's hammer and refusing to let go. No matter how much damage it caused to him, he would stick to it again.

So, in the next moment, Adam Hammer made a decision.

Under Adam Hammer's feet, the thruster directly carried Adam Hammer's heavy body up and chased directly in the direction where Mann took Lucy away.

David noticed Adam Hammer's plan, and without hesitation, he used Blast Charge to fly up and fight with Adam Hammer, while also allowing Mann and others to run farther.

And at this moment... on the roads of Night City, a huge chase is taking place.

At this moment, Qilin was carrying huge electric currents all over his body. He was running straight on the road of Night City, running towards the direction of Arasaka Tower. Behind Qilin, the hunters were also chasing him quickly in hovercrafts.

In addition to the hunters and Qilin, more people are joining the battlefield.

The sky was filled with machines and members of big companies.

All kinds of ammunition were poured towards Qilin and the hunters as if they were free.

But... neither Qilin nor the hunter were affected by these ammunitions.

The high-tech ammunition developed by various companies, or simple kinetic ammunition, would even find it difficult to get close to Qilin's body in the face of Qilin's electric field.

Even if some ammunition managed to break through Qilin's electric field, it only touched Qilin's hard body and failed to cause any greater impact.

The hunters chased Qilin quickly and continued to fight with the guys from the company.

At this moment, although they were nervous near Mann who had escaped, they had actually entered a safe area.

Because Naofumi Iwaya is here.

Since becoming a hunter, Naofumi Iwaya's speed of growing stronger has increased again.

In order to avoid the original future scenario of using the Shield of Wrath, Naofumi Iwatani has been trying various ways to quickly become stronger during his time as a Hunter.

Hunters each have their own advantages, and when they combine their advantages with the skills of hunters, there are various development directions.

And Naofumi Iwaya also knows his own strengths and unique abilities.

It is the Four Holy Shields in his hand.

After learning about his own [settings] from Nie Chiwu, Iwaya Naofumi also knew that his Four Sacred Shields had been a constraint on him for a long time, and that he had suffered a lot because he could not use the Four Sacred Shields to attack.

Originally... the hunters had also seriously discussed how to become stronger.

Some people also thought that they should focus entirely on the hunter's fighting style, so that they could become stronger more quickly... but this idea was ultimately rejected.

Hunters should not give up their own abilities for the sake of Monster Hunter's fighting style... Hunters themselves are diverse, just like the biodiversity in nature.

The more complex the ecosystem, the stronger its resistance to difficulties. Biodiversity is one of the important factors of ecosystem resilience.

It can be expected that the problems that hunters will face in the future will be richer and more complex, but those are not problems that Naofumi Iwatani needs to face alone.

He doesn't need to rely on the shield of anger that overdrafts his future and anger. What he needs to do is protect more people who deserve protection.

When David and Adam's hammer were fighting in the sky, Naofumi Iwatani had already found Mann and others, but he was not prepared to intervene in David's battle.

"I don't know...what they will do." Naofumi Iwatani followed Mann and others and thought.

Naofumi Iwatani always felt that Mann and others would not just leave David alone, especially Lucy.

In the car that Mann was driving, he also turned on the radio in the car.

The radio was broadcasting a chase between Qilin and hunters on Central Avenue.

On the radio, the host described this as an act of terrorism, and no one explained the specific origins of Qilin. The people in Night City only knew that Qilin seemed to be heading towards Arasaka Tower.

Listening to the edited news on the radio, Mann drove the car with his only good arm, looking particularly irritated.

In the huge space behind the car, Pira is currently handling emergencies for the team members.

"Mann, what should we do next?" Dolio looked at Mann with some concern. "Something really bad must have happened in Night City. Arasaka Corporation can do so much. We..."

"I know!"

Mann hammered the steering wheel: "Damn..."

Facing Adam's heavy hammer, the experience and resume that his team had accumulated in the past seemed to have completely disappeared.

"Mann, I'll go alone." Lucy said, "Even if Adam comes after us with his hammer..."

"Enough!" Mann roared, "Pyrrha! How's Falco doing?"

"It's time to move." Falco said as he stood up.

"Then you drive!" Mann's eyes were red. "Qiwei! Rebecca was blackened! And Pyrrha..."

The next moment after Mann finished saying this, Rebecca had fainted, and Pyrrha also knocked Lucy unconscious.

"Dorio! Take them!"

Chapter 251 Kazuma! Please!

At this moment, Naofumi Iwaya was following behind Mann and others, and was a little confused when he saw their actions.

After Mann directed others to knock Rebecca and Lucy unconscious, he grabbed a tube of treatment agent from the car, injected it into his own body, and then stopped the car.

"Falco! Qiwei! The two of you get out of the car and take them. Qiwei, see if you can hijack a car and leave. You all can go to the afterlife to find Rogge." Mann flexed his only remaining free hand and raised a shotgun. "Everyone else, come back with me."

"..."

Qiwei silently looked at Mann who had already gotten out of the car, as well as Dolio and Pira who were already following Mann.

"It won't be any use for you to go there." Qi Wei said, "Adam's Hammer is not an enemy we can deal with."

"Going back like this now is no different from committing suicide."

"..." Mann was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The former hacker in our team... Sasha." {EdgeWalker Prequel Animation MV}

"She entered the biotech company alone, and then, for some reason, went crazy and started fighting with the company's protective robots. I finally found her in a car on the overpass."

"I only found out later that the biotech company was related to the medicine Sasha's mother took, which is why she became like that."

"Shit! I don't know what's going on in Night City right now! But if I leave now, I'll be leaving David for dead."

Mann parked the car at the entrance of an alley. "Go to this fucking Night City."

"...I won't be going back to help." Qi Wei helped the unconscious Lucy out of the car and turned to look at Mann: "In Night City, it's better not to talk about loyalty or conscience."

"Just take them to the afterlife. I feel like if we let them go directly to help David, they might get into trouble out of impulse," Mann said. "Qiwei... please."

“…” Qiwei didn’t say anything.

But Mann stepped on the accelerator directly, then made a big turn and drove the car back towards the Arasaka parts factory.

"?!"

Naofumi Iwatani felt a little numb as he looked at the Mann team split into two groups.
