Monster Hunter Gathering

Qiao Qiao, who had finally recovered from her unconsciousness, stood up again and said, "Why can he attack even from mid-air? Is it because Tanjiro fights with a katana? Is that why he summoned the Snow Devil?"

"Probably, it was made based on Tanjiro's impression." Iwatani Naofumi said: "You should be worried. If even Tanjiro can summon a monster like this, then what if the captain..."

"Hey! Even though we've planned this a long time ago, don't suddenly say something that sounds so scary!!!" Kazuma shouted loudly.

"..." Mislen was silent for a moment, then said, "Although I don't really understand what the monsters in your world look like, I do understand the Lord of the Labyrinth."

"Are you sure that your companion only summoned this monster?"

Mislen said this doubtfully, and although he tried hard to make a puzzled expression, it was completely unnatural.

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from a distance, which scared the people here. When they looked up, they saw the direction of the explosion, as if the barrier in the sky was dyed red.

"roar----!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A huge roar that the elves and adventurers had never heard of sounded in that direction. Coupled with the glaring red color, it was obvious that something big had happened over there.

And when this happened...

They are Nie Chiwu and others here.

They have found Tanjiro's location, the charcoal-burning mountain where Tanjiro has lived for generations.

But just when they wanted to go up the mountain to find Tanjiro, a huge monster blocked their way.

It was a dragon that looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but its body was covered with protruding shells, and there was a flame-shaped blue heat dissipation shell on its back... Its tail was strong and blade-shaped, accounting for half of its body length.

"Wow! Dragon Slayer!" Nie Chiwu couldn't help but yell, "Four Heavenly Kings!!!"

"What are the Four Heavenly Kings?" Laos looked curious.

"Now is not the time to ask this! This kind of monster is very dangerous once it is opened!!!!!!!" Zilchak screamed.

"Can you wait a moment?"

But at this moment, the winged lion appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face: "If you go in directly, you will disturb Tanjiro."

"Winged Lion! You, you, you...why don't you let them in?" Malushiel said, "Don't you want to eat their desires or something?"

"That's true, but... while it's certainly delicious if eaten raw, just like humans don't always eat raw food..." the Winged Lion said, "I also want to make my desires a little more delicious. Isn't that human nature?"

"As for this..."

The winged lion glanced at the dragon-slaying figure behind him, then smiled at Nie Chiwu and said, "You should like this very much. Tanjiro remembers that you were the one who showed this monster to him."

"I love that," Nie Chiwu said. "But I don't plan to wait. It's better for you to replace the Master of the Maze as soon as possible."

"It seems I need more time." Winged Lion said this regretfully, and then...

He snapped his fingers at the dragon-slaying warrior behind him.

The Dragon Slayer, which already looked extremely ferocious, suddenly began to swell up. At the same time, dazzling hot dust began to overflow from its mouth and tail. From a distance... it looked like a ball of blazing flames, and from a close look, it looked like an angry devil from hell.

"You'll like this better, right?"

The Winged Lion smiled brightly at Nie Chiwu: "Let me think, you should call it..."

"Ember Slayer Dragon Slayer...right?"

The metal and stone melted in front of his breath, the mountain was destroyed after his tail chopped it off, and the rage burned for ten miles and turned it into ashes.

The huge thermal support makes it never tired, nicknamed "Black Knight of Raging Flames"... This is the second monster of Dragon Slayer - Cinder Blade Dragon Slayer!

"Your mother..." Nie Chiwu looked at the Cinder Blade Slashing Dragon, which had grown a circle bigger, and couldn't help but curse, but he frowned after looking at it.

This dragon seems a bit weak.

It's not that it's really weak, but in comparison...

As the second dragon-slaying monster, the Cinder Blade Dragon Slayer should have a combat power comparable to that of the ancient dragon, but the oppressive feeling given by the Cinder Blade Dragon Slayer right now is not as strong as that of the MeeMeeZi who slapped him earlier...

Because this is just a copy made by the devil based on his impression?

This is good news! The enemy isn't as strong as the two real monsters!

"If I win this and go in, remember to choose me as the next maze master!!!" Nie Chiwu had already drawn his shield axe in front of the Cinder Blade Dragon Slayer.

"If you really did it, then consider it." The winged lion licked his lips and disappeared again, leaving only the tall Cinder Blade Dragon Slasher roaring at the people in front of him, and the high-explosive dust on his body almost dyed half of the sky red.

"Laos!! Let's go together!"

Chapter 118 Monster Hunter Mock Exam

"Roar----!!!"

The next moment after the Winged Lion disappeared, the Cinder Blade Dragon had already held the huge blade tail in its mouth and was grinding it with the shell on its face. Along with the harsh grinding sound, huge heat emanated from the mouth and tail of the Cinder Blade Dragon, and even explosive dust began to emanate from the corners of its mouth and tail.

When he saw the Cinder Blade Dragon Slash roaring towards him, a blinding flame flashed from its massive mouth...

Just by seeing these, Malushiel felt as if her whole body was numb.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."

Malushil clutched her staff, nearly crying. "This monster is even more formidable than a fire dragon! How can we possibly defeat it?"

"is it?"

Nie Chiwu looked at Jinmie Blade Zhanlong who was sharpening his blade. While sharpening the blade, the other party was also staring at this side intently, as if he was going to swing the tail of the blade and cut everyone present in half in the next moment.

Tanjiro, who is the best at using blades among everyone, naturally has this kind of monster around him after becoming the master of the labyrinth...

Tanjiro probably wouldn't create this kind of monster on his own initiative, so...

This should be a monster that Winged Lion imitated based on the memories in Tanjiro's subconscious mind.

It is just an imitation, which is probably why the dragon-slaying beast in front of us does not give people a strong sense of oppression.

If I have to say, it's at most similar to the fire dragon couple I met when stealing eggs before.

As the second monster, it is indeed a little too weak.

If you want to know why, it is because Nie Chiwu found some clues he had left behind on the body of the Cinder Blade Slashing Dragon in front of him.

As a newly-joined member of the Hunters, Tanjiro had never actually seen a creature like a Dragon Zan, let alone the Cinder Blade Dragon Zan with his own eyes, so naturally he had no idea what a Dragon Zan looked like.

The direction of the shell of the Cinder Blade Dragon in front of me is reversed.

The real dragon-slaying beast has a blue shell on its back that grows forward like a flame.

Even the Cinderslayer Dragon Slayer retained this feature, but the heat dissipation shell on the back of the monster in front of him grew backwards. That was the appearance of the Dragon Slayer that Nie Chiwu showed to Tanjiro after he specially modified it.

"Unfortunately, it's just a replica." Nie Chiwu felt a little regretful.

After confirming this, Nie Chiwu naturally discovered some abnormalities on the body of this Cinder Blade Dragon. Those were probably problems that arose after forcibly approaching a creature with this appearance and being unable to coordinate.

The opponent... is only as strong as those monsters in ordinary Monster Hunter, but it’s not impossible to deal with it!

"Is it really okay to give up now?"

As soon as Nie Chiwu opened his mouth, he tried to inspire Malushil's fighting spirit: "If we want to revive Falin, now is the only time. We must first solve the problems in this maze before we can revive Falin."

"Malushil, we can't stop now."

As Nie Chiwu said this, the sharp sound of sharpening the blade of the Cinder Blade suddenly stopped. At this moment, the sharp blade containing metal material had completely entered a red-hot state, and even the air was distorted by the scorching breath.

"I will help too."

Senxi didn't hesitate too much. He picked up his strongest defensive item - a pot made of fine gold, and put on heat-insulating gloves, ready to block the attack of the Cinder Blade Dragon Slayer.

"Really?! Can't I do it?!!" Upon hearing that it was related to Falin, Malushiel closed her eyes and raised her staff: "What are we supposed to do?! We don't even know this kind of monster!!!"

"Hey! I don't know how to fight head-on!" Chilchak said the same thing, but he couldn't find a place to hide for a while.

"Leave the blocking to me and Senxi!" Nie Chiwu shouted. "This kind of aggressive monster is just a food trap for us shield-axe players! Look at my superb defense!"

"Laos!! You take the slashing axe and lead the attack! Even though it's a little intense to slash a dragon in the first battle, this is so exciting!"

"Senxi! Remember to take over my position at any time, don't let Zhanlong attack other people who can output!!!"

"Chilchak, help keep an eye on the Dragon Slayer! Take Malushiel and run! Standing still against a monster like this is a death sentence! The Great Iai will come!"

“Move, move, move!!!!!”

“Hunting time has begun!!!!!!!!!”

Nie Chiwu shouted excitedly and rushed out. At the same time, the Cinder Blade Dragon Slasher suddenly swung out its huge blade tail towards Nie Chiwu.

The wide-ranging moves allowed Nie Chiwu to barely see the movements of the Cinder Blade slashing the dragon. At the moment before the huge blade fell, Nie Chiwu accurately raised the shield of the Shield Axe and made a precise defense.

Precise defense, while the body succeeded, the sword in the left hand also stabbed the tail of the blade.

The huge impact force forced Nie Chiwu to take two steps back, but he still managed to steadily catch the attack of the Cinder Blade and the Dragon Slayer.

The impact of fighting with the giant beast made Nie Chiwu instinctively excited.

Since becoming hunters, the first thing they dealt with was just ghosts, and they hadn't encountered any decent large monsters in the maze.

Although they had trained during the long period of the gathering, they had not actually fought against monsters because their strength had not yet been improved.

Although the monster in front of him was just a replica, it... indeed lifted the spirits of hunter Nie Chiwu.

My first mock exam after becoming a hunter!!!

"This is the kind of opponent I look like!!!"

Nie Chiwu raised the sword in his left hand high: "Hunter's weapons are not for use against ordinary enemies!!!"

------------------

"It's probably confirmed."

The movement from Nie Chiwu's side had already been transmitted to Er Qiao and others through the meeting voice which was not turned off.

Nie Chiwu also encountered a monster, which was probably created by the winged lion.

Er Qiao and the others here had already started a fierce battle with the Snow Ghost Beast. They were exhausted from the battle and only after hearing the noise in the voice did they confirm that the explosion in the distance was from Nie Chiwu.

“What a weird look!” Kazuma complained loudly. He was exhausted by the pursuit of the Snow Demon Beast with its twin ice blades. However, he could only hold on to his bow and arrow and run as fast as he could, without even the slightest chance to slide. “Why should I be so excited about encountering a monster?!!!”

Chapter 119 Accelerated Changes

"Cough cough cough..."

At this moment, when the Snow Demon Beast had already gone to chase Kazuma, Er Qiao took out the recovery potion from her pocket with some effort and started drinking it.

This was the third time he had picked it up and was swept away by the Snow Ghost Beast with one blow.

God knows why the Snow Demon Beast could attack him so accurately while he was in the air...

And every time she was knocked away, Er Qiao would fly at least dozens of meters away...

The attacks of the Snow Ghost Beast always put a strong psychological pressure on people, especially when Er Qiao was knocked unconscious by the Snow Ghost Beast and couldn't get up from the ground for a while, the Snow Ghost Beast would stare at Er Qiao and walk towards her step by step with the ice knife in its hand.

The feeling of wanting to resist but not having the strength to do so made Er Qiao feel extremely uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the constant support of Naofumi Iwatani and Kazuma, who worked hard to divert the attention of the Snow Devil Beast, Jotaro would have been in trouble countless times.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Qiao is the only hunter capable of close range damage...

"If you continue like this, you will die first." Mislen was not going to continue to teleport Er Qiao directly to the top of the Snow Ghost Beast. Such an attack would not only have no benefit, but also pose a considerable threat.

And Mislen also felt the tricky situation.

If the Snow Demon Beast is just an ordinary monster, then Mislen can use teleportation to try to directly replace the opponent's vital points and kill it.

But the Snow Ghost Beast... seemed to know his methods and did not give Mislen any chance to kill it with teleportation. Even at the time when he had the best chance, Mislen realized that if he really launched an attack, it would threaten those who were resurrecting not far away, so he was forced to use his attack to stop the Snow Ghost Beast from getting close to other adventurers.

In the end, the few people failed to kill the Snow Ghost Beast. Instead, the Snow Ghost Beast took the initiative to leave after being injured. However, the way the Snow Ghost Beast stood in the distance and kept looking back before leaving did make people feel a little...

There was a vague fear, as if it would come back quietly at any time, open its bloody mouth from the darkness and bite people's flesh and soul.

"Why would there be such a monster?! I'm going to have a psychological trauma, you bastard!!!!"

Kazuma huddled in the corner and cursed.

"The power of the Labyrinth Master is truly incredible." Iwatani Naofumi sighed in awe. "To think he could create such a powerful monster from nothing, and it seems his intelligence is quite high..."

"..."

After a long silence, Mislen said to the Shield Hero: "After becoming the Lord of the Labyrinth, the devil will do everything he can to satisfy your desires, but the realization of those desires is not your true wish."

"What you said... if you become the master of the maze, the demons will have weaknesses. Is that true?" Mislen looked directly at Naofumi Iwatani.

Although the people in front of him took out a magical medicine that restored some of his desires and emotions, Mislen still had some doubts about whether their actions could kill the devil.
