Monster Hunter Gathering

"The border is fucking lost!"

Chapter 353 The So-called Savior (1/10)

[Frontier Trivia: Frontier refers to the now-defunct Monster Hunter multi-platform online game. After a decade, it officially came to an end. It contained many unique features, and due to its extreme difficulty, Frontier Hunters was also known as the Frontier God by hunters. If you're curious, explore it on your own; much of its content has been incorporated into the original game.]

"If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos..."

Nie Chiwu took a deep breath. Even though he was surrounded by the Mad Dragon Virus caused by the battle between the Tianhui Dragon and the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, Nie Chiwu still tried his best to calm himself down.

"Altaïr."

Nie Chiwu said in a low voice: "You want to protect Shimazaki Setsuna, right?"

"From now on... fuck the story! Fuck the Creator and the creation."

As the Tianhui Dragon, transformed into a true mad dragon, was still releasing its power, Nie Chiwu stared at Altair and said, "Now, if you don't kill... no, if you don't repel that Tianhui Dragon, the future of the moment you want to protect will be lost."

"So now forget about the Creator and the story," Nie Chiwu said. "If her story wants to continue, and if she wants to live in a world where she can continue her story, you have to write it."

"Let's fight to the death."

Nie Chiwu said: "Come and risk your life and will to become a savior and protect the future of others."

"Are you... crazy?" Altair looked at Nie Chiwu. "You know what I wanted to do before. Now you're asking me to be a savior... How can I forget the pain this world has caused to Shanshan?"

"OMG! Who hasn't had a time when they're tired of the world?"

Nie Chiwu cursed angrily, "I thought about that too when I was a teenager! To hell with this world of grooves! We might as well just destroy it!"

"There are too many assholes in this world! On the internet, where people can wear masks, they can unleash their inner rage without restraint."

"And then... do you think I'm asking you to protect those you hate?"

Nie Chiwu took out a can of recovery medicine from his backpack and threw it directly at Altair.

After Altair took the recovery potion, Nie Chiwu continued, "No way? What you want to protect is Shimazaki Setsuna, and the world that Shimazaki Setsuna should live in!"

"So! What are you hesitating about? What are you confused about?!" Nie Chiwu roared, "No one can love the whole world! There will always be things that make you hate and despise..."

"But there is always a driving force that pushes the savior's path forward."

"I...will only tell you one thing now!"

Nie Chiwu turned on the headset and the assembly channel, and transmitted his voice to all the members in the birdcage: "Fight for Shimazaki Setsuna, just like you did before!"

"Take out the power that wants to destroy all worlds! Come and save this world that you may not like! Let the [Driving Force] that you want to protect have the possibility of continuing to survive!"

"Life will do its best to find a way out..."

"Now...answer me."

Nie Chiwu's expression was serious. "When Shimazaki Setsuna created you, the feelings that existed in her heart... besides hatred for those who were full of malice towards her, was there something else..."

"The wish that everything would change so that she could live happily?"

"..."

Altair fell silent under Nie Chiwu's gaze, and Nie Chiwu also got the answer he wanted.

"It seems I don't need to say anything more."

Nie Chiwu tapped the headset on his ear: "My fellow created friends... what I just said is also what I want to say to you."

"The so-called savior's mission, if it's just an empty responsibility, is too empty."

"I admit... it's no longer possible to achieve our ultimate goal with just the power of hunters. So I ask everyone to fight with me, if you still have something worth protecting besides the vain hope of saving the world."

"And finally, to all the audience members whom Altair calls gods."

Nie Chiwu tapped his headset for the last time and smiled helplessly at the sky. "Please gain even a little courage and reflection from this story. Since we're all gathered here... take a good look at the characters in your favorite stories."

"What exactly you love, and how much power this love can bring you...that's something only you can decide."

"Well then... survive well, and see you next time, friends."

"Let the blue stars in the sky guide the way forward for you and me."

Nie Chiwu exerted force with his fingertips and crushed the headset directly.

And in the center of the birdcage, Tenkai Ryu's transformation into a true mad dragon has been completed.

The soaring momentum and leaked energy made Tian Huilong look like a real demon king.

The mad dragon crystals attached to the wing membrane flew and fluttered backwards, making this ancient dragon, which was already like a god, look like it had grown six fluorescent blue wings.

The pure and frenzied ancient dragon energy danced between heaven and earth. The birdcage that had originally become one during the day due to the change of scene was now completely invisible to the sky.

The boundless Mad Dragon Virus covered the sky and earth, turning into thick dark clouds, turning this place into the territory of the Tianhui Dragon.

"Cough cough..."

Shimazaki Setsuna, who had been taken to a safe place by Xinmeier, suddenly started coughing.

Xin Meier's expression tightened. He supported Shimazaki Setsuna and found that the other party had covered his mouth with his hand and coughed up some purple-black blood...

That is a sign of infection with the Crazy Dragon virus.

"You ate this, and now you're infected with the Crazy Dragon Virus."

Xinmeier took out the Cancellation Fruit from his backpack and handed it to Shimazaki Setsuna.

But Xin Meir knew that eliminating the fruit could only alleviate the symptoms of the Mad Dragon Virus.

If you really want to cure the rabies virus, you can only overcome it by relying on strong vitality, or use the body tissues of the source of the rabies virus to make medicine.

Xin Meir looked at Shimazaki Setsuna worriedly, but he also knew that he could not stay here any longer.

He protected Shimazaki Setsuna as insurance, but now it seemed like he had to join the fight as well.

"Mr. Sinmeier, I'm... okay." Shimazaki Setsuna coughed, but still said to Sinmeier, "Mr. Sinmeier... are you also the protagonist of a story? Because you look very... like a hero from a story in another world."

Chapter 354: A Story That Begins with Death (2|10)

"The story involving Mr. Sinmel didn't appear until after I committed suicide," Shimazaki Setsuna said. "If it had been before then, I would have been more impressed by Mr. Sinmel."

"There are many other characters here..." Shimazaki Setsuna said with regret. "The reason they appear here is because, like the characters I know, they are all recognized characters."

"After I died, so many stories still appeared?" Shimazaki Setsuna hugged his shoulders, his expression a little gloomy: "I really want to know their stories, but..."

"..."

Xin Meir could see that Shimazaki Setsuna's mental state was not very good.

For a teenage girl who once attempted suicide due to external pressure, her mental quality is not very strong. Now the emotions brought by the Crazy Dragon Virus have made her mood even more depressed.

So, after a pause, Xin Meilton took out a few more Cancellation Fruits from his backpack, placed them in front of Shimazaki Setsuna, and then said.

“I am not the protagonist of my own story.”

Sinmeier said to Shimazaki Setsuna in a soothing tone, "The protagonist of the story I'm in is... my teammate who defeated the Demon King with me, the elf named Freelian."

"Her story began after my death." Xin Meier glanced at Shimazaki Setsuna. "As an elf, she has a lifespan that is unattainable for a human like me. But when I learned about the stories that happened after my death, I was very happy."

"She's starting to change."

“She chose her own goal, found new companions, and gradually began to understand the meaning of all the stories along the way.”

"What exactly the story means to you...I may not know." Xin Meir's face showed a helpless expression.

Although he looks young now, he is a soul that has experienced a complete life. Everything he knows comes from his own world, and he can only slowly understand what the scenery in other worlds is like.

"But one thing is the same," Xin Meier said: "I have things I want to change, things I want to do, so I do them."

"I am a hero. I became a hero of my own will. It is because I made this decision, embarked on this journey, and made others my companions that I have the story I have today."

"Live your life, make your decisions, and create your story."

Xin Meier took Shimazaki Setsuna's hand and said, "The child born from your pen..."

Xin Meier said with a gentle smile: "You should witness her story."

"You are her starting point and her past... Throughout her future, she will inevitably be influenced by you."

Xin Meier looked directly into Shimazaki Setsuna's eyes: "What exactly do you want her to become?"

"When you gave birth to her and let her start her own story...what were you feeling at that moment?"

Xinmei didn't say anything more, but just looked at Shimazaki Setsuna gently.

"I……"

Shimazaki Setsuna raised his head in confusion, looking at the sky filled with the Mad Dragon Virus: "I..."

Looking at the sky, Shimazaki Setsuna suddenly said: "Fly..."

"Hmm?" Xin Meier responded gently.

"Altaïr... It means flying." Shimazaki Setsuna took a deep breath. "I wanted her to be free, fearless of any difficulties, and full of determination... That's why I named her Altair."

"It's a great name." Xin Meier smiled. "Isn't that the meaning you want to give it?"

"Let's go." Xin Meier said to Shimazaki Setsuna, "I will take you to someone else who can protect you, and then I will go to fulfill my duty."

Xin Mei'er noticed through the assembly panel that Sakura and Kiryu Mimika had arrived at the bird's nest.

He planned to hand over Shimazaki Setsuna to Sakura for protection.

And then... it's time to fight.

“Drink it quickly!!!”

At this moment, Jotaro has found Kazuma and reunited with Iwaya Naofumi.

Regarding what Nie Chiwu had just said, as three people who became hunters almost at the same time as Nie Chiwu, they had already fully realized the seriousness of the matter.

So, at this moment, Qiao was pinching Kazuma's neck and frantically helping him pour medicine into his mouth: "Quick! Get out that thing you used to beat the snake dragon last time!!!! ...

"Hey! I only have one mouth, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

As soon as Kazuma opened his mouth to speak, Jotaro stuffed three bottles into his mouth and started pouring all kinds of BUFF potions into his mouth.

"I'll start preparing the medicine now!" Naofumi Iwatani also began using the Four Sacred Shields to mix various buff potions from his world, preparing to increase the power of Kazuma's blasting magic after he transformed into a Crimson Demon...

"Calm down, you bastards!!"

Kazuma, driven mad by the potion, shoved Jotaro and Iwatani Naofumi, who were surrounding him, out with a flurry of punches. "Have you forgotten the range of blast magic? There's no such a wide battlefield here! Are you planning on blowing the entire birdcage up into the sky?!"

In order to avoid being forced to rote me, Kazuma distanced himself from the two and said, “Besides… Explosion magic may not be able to take out that Tenkai Dragon. I’m not an expert in blast magic… and blast magic isn’t as strong as you think!”

After being stunned for a moment, Qiao Zheng and Naofumi Iwatani gave up at the same time.

Er Qiao clenched her fist and said angrily, "That's right, it's from a comedy show after all..."

"OI!!!! What's wrong with you in this comedy?!!!" Kazuma's face immediately turned red after hearing what Jotaro said.

Iwatani Naofumi took a deep breath. "But, right now, the only thing the three of us can do to that Tenkai Dragon is probably you, Kazuma, using your Transformation Mushroom to transform into a Crimson Demon's blasting magic, right?"

"My storyline has already been altered. I don't have the Shield of Wrath from the Seven Deadly Sins series." Naofumi Iwatani raised the Four Sacred Shields on his right arm. "I haven't unlocked the other powerful shields either. As an ancient dragon, Tenkai Ryuu isn't affected by many controls."

"what can we do?"

Chapter 355 Fighting Hunters (3/10)

"Uh……"

Kazuma also fell silent.

Then looking at his three members from the first term, Kazuma fell into deep thought.

Er Qiao, as a young man, has just finished his story and has only a few abilities.

First, the ripples, second, the stand-in, third... the abundant financial resources of the SPW consortium.

However, Qiao Er's ripples are not that strong now, and it is a pipe dream to expect them to be effective against the powerful vitality of the ancient dragon. Moreover, Qiao Er's stand is not a combat stand... It is even more impossible for the financial resources of the spw consortium to be used here.

Kazuma has only brought Aqua here. Apart from some buffs that Aqua can help add, his own combat power is not particularly outstanding.

Apart from having strong defense, Naofumi Iwaya has no offensive capabilities other than hunter weapons.
