Monster Hunter Gathering

Not only that, there are some individuals rotating at high speed in those bubbles, as if they contain huge energy, and they defeated many monsters in the blink of an eye.

"Hey! You're Laos's former companions, right?"

From the maze forest, Erqiao emerged riding a huge and gorgeous sea dragon.

It was a creature that one could tell at a glance was from a humid region, with large fins shaped like petals. Its body was slender, and its vibrant white, deep purple, and pink blossoms made it look like a dancing geisha from a distance.

The monster looked a bit like a snake and a bit like a fox, and the image reminded Kikuro of the monsters in his hometown.

"Yes! I'm Namali!" Namali answered Joetsu without hesitation: "What's going on now? Where's Laos? Has he really become a demon king?!"

"Things aren't so easy to explain right now! Anyway, we'll be fighting alongside the elves!" Er Qiao said as she controlled the Sky-Eye Bubble Fox Dragon. "You've also seen that Snake Emperor Dragon, right? That's the transformation of the current maze's true form!"

"To protect the world, we have to get rid of that!"

As Er Qiao said this, she was fighting against those monsters with the Sky Eye Bubble Fox Dragon.

The power of the ripples began with Qiao Qi, spreading through the bubble-generating mucus on Sky Eye Bubble Fox Dragon's body, and suddenly transformed into a high-speed rotating bubble blade. While possessing Sky Eye Bubble Fox Dragon's ability to burn enemies, it also had extremely strong cutting power...

"Xisha's moves are so useful!" Er Qiao tightly grasped the back of the Sky Eye Bubble Fox Dragon and released ripples: "Oppa Doraemon!!"

"Are we going to fight that monster?!" Er Qiao's announcement made everyone present feel unbelievable.

Is that monster that looks like a small hill really something that humans can hunt?

No matter how hard you try, you can't do it, right?!

"I'm not asking you to deal with the Snake Emperor Dragon directly. That's our job!" Er Qiao saw the expressions of these people and said, "Dealing with the monsters pouring out of the maze is also very important!"

"Please, we don't have that much energy to deal with things here!"

After Er Qiao shouted this, she rode away on the Sky-Eye Fox Dragon.

"This..." Kikuro hesitated.

His attendants Wu He and others were also looking at him worriedly.

"Then we have to do it, right?" Namali slapped Kikuro on the back. "It's just dealing with monsters. It's much easier than dealing with that big guy above our heads!!!"

"Go!" Namaali suddenly ignited the dwarf's blood, raised her axe and rushed towards the monsters.

"..."

Although Kikuro had a headache, the current situation did not give him time to hesitate, so he brought his men to join in the process of repelling the monsters.

Although the number of monsters began to increase and they began to counterattack the ground, catching the humans off guard, after the tall men, dwarves, elves and other humans reacted, they quickly organized enough combat power and began to restrict the monsters' advance.

Perhaps because the maze began to leak, humans can still use resurrection magic that can only be used within the arena, as if the demons do not intend to kill anyone here.

"Hunters from another dimension, are you sure you have a way to threaten that monster... the one you call the [Snake Emperor Dragon]?"

At this moment, Naofumi Iwaya's conversation with the Elf Queen has ended.

Although the Canary Team still had some concerns, they had no choice but to start supporting the hunters at the request of the Elf Queen.

"Of course. We must strike first before the Winged Lion actually takes action."

Naofumi Iwatani also called out to Kazuma in the assembly voice chat: "Kazuma! Come here quickly! It's time for you to start your performance!"

"Our captain said so," Iwatani Naofumi laughed a rare laugh. "Sleeping is an essential part of being a hunter..."

Chapter 137 Kazuma's Explosive Magic Dragon Arrow!!

“But, what you just said about Kazuma…”

The elf was still a little worried: "I understand what you mean by striking first, but we have seen that person before."

The Canary Squad had witnessed Kazuma and his companions fight the Snow Devil before, with Kazuma being chased everywhere by the Snow Devil... This made it difficult for the Canary Squad to imagine that the first attack would be left to Kazuma...

It would be fine if it was handed over to Naofumi Iwatani, who was carrying a heavy crossbow like a cannon.

“Haha~! It’s finally my turn to open the show!!”

At this moment, Kazuma finally arrived here, carrying a bow and arrow on his back that was already huge for an ordinary person.

But comparing the size difference between the bow and the Serpent Emperor Dragon made it even harder for the elves to believe that this crucial first strike was given to this man...

Even the fluctuations of his magical power were a bit weak, and he didn't look like a powerful person...

“It’s finally time for me to show off my skills!” Kazuma’s nose was almost up in the air. “Let’s get started!”

"?!"

The elves were all puzzled, but Mislen was exceptionally calm.

The hunters can even take out recovery potions that can restore desire, so even if they do something unbelievable, it is not unacceptable.

"Thump thump thump!"

In front of the elves, Kazuma took out a bunch of red things from his backpack, then sat down and started eating.

Not only that, Kazuma also placed a portable pot next to him, filled it with large pieces of marinated meat, doused it with honey, and even put a few dried shrimps in it...

"?"

At this critical moment, Kazuma actually sat down and started eating, which was something the elves had never expected.

Naofumi Iwaya also directly opened his heavy crossbow, loaded several red bullets into it, and fired at Kazuma.

The red bullet did not cause any damage to Kazuma after hitting him, and even caused a brief red glow to appear on Kazuma's body.

【Ghost Bullet: Increases the attack power of the target.】

After firing all the bullets, Naofumi Iwatani put away his heavy crossbow, sat down and began fiddling with the shield on his arm.

Naofumi Iwaya's Four Sacred Shields itself has the function of synthesis. At this moment, Naofumi Iwaya took out some potions from the shield one bottle after another and placed them next to Kazuma.

“Mmmmmm!!”

Although Kazuma felt a little choked, he still increased the speed at which he drank the potion and pills.

The aura on Kazuma's body, which was not very strong at first, gradually rose to a level that could not be ignored.

Finally, after eating and drinking, Kazuma stuffed a demon pill into his mouth and sprinkled a handful of demon dust directly into the sky.

"So……"

When Naofumi Iwaya saw Kazuma stand up, he realized that the preparations were finalized.

"Mmmm!" Kazuma gestured to Naofumi Iwatani with the demon pill in his mouth, and opened the bow and arrow, charging it with a powerful bottle.

Naofumi Iwaya opened the Four Sacred Shields. The shield, which originally looked extremely hard, turned into the shape of a mushroom in the blink of an eye, and occasionally emitted some spores to the outside.

“Come on! Kazuma!!!”

Naofumi Iwaya placed the Four Sacred Shields directly in front of Kazuma.

This is a new shield unlocked after placing the spores of the Transformed Mushroom into the Four Sacred Shields...

[Transformation Mushroom Shield: Produces mushroom spores that can force a person to change their race for ten minutes. When attacked at close range, mushroom spores that transform into a specific person will be produced.]

Kazuma kicked the transformed mushroom shield, and the next moment a thick spore mist erupted, wrapping Kazuma up.

The elves had already recognized the transformation mushroom and avoided its spores in panic.

"Hey! The effect of the transformation mushroom is uncontrollable. What are you trying to do..."

But before the elf could finish his words, Kazuma's figure reappeared from the spores.

But the strange thing is that Kazuma's body shape did not change at all. He did not turn into a dwarf, goblin, or orc or troll as the elves thought.

However, Kazuma's eyes turned an exceptionally conspicuous red.

"Oh oh oh!!" Kazuma chewed the demon pill in his mouth and took out his skill card.

"That's it! After changing race, skill points are reset!!!" Kazuma looked at the race on his skill card. It had now become... [Crimson Demon]!

When they discovered that the transformation mushrooms could transform them into humanoid species in their respective worlds, they had already discussed the possibility of taking advantage of this.

And now, Kazuma is going to show the hunters' current maximum firepower, which they have come up with after two weeks of closed-door research and discussion! ! ! !

"Skill points! All of them! Invest them in explosion magic!!!!"

Kazuma pointed his finger at his skill card with a determined look.

As Huihui's teammate, he can be said to be the second person who knows explosion magic well!

"[Explosion Magic Has Been Learned]."

As Kazuma invested all his skill points, he, who had transformed into a Crimson Demon, had already drawn his bow and aimed at the huge Snake Emperor Dragon.

"Come on! Kazuma-san, I took all those potions! Plus the magic of the Crimson Demons! Plus the Explosion Magic with all my skill points! Plus the Dragon Arrow!"

The terrifying magical power began to compress on Kazuma's bow, making the elves a little suspicious. If the bow exploded now, would it blow them all to pieces, making it impossible to revive them...

"Come on!!!!!! Kazuma-sama's highlight moment!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"emission----!!!!"

Along with Kazuma's cheers, the Dragon Arrow, which compressed and recompressed the Explosion Magic, rushed towards the Snake Emperor Dragon's head with unstoppable momentum like a meteor flying backwards.

The winged lion, which was in the process of fusion, suddenly felt a huge fluctuation of magic power, but the Snake Emperor Dragon had just moved when the dragon arrow had already hit the Snake Emperor Dragon's head.

"boom--!!!"

A huge explosion erupted above the Snake Emperor Dragon's head.

For a moment, the sky, which had become dark due to dark clouds, was illuminated by the intense light produced by the explosion.

The Snake Emperor Dragon's huge head was also thrown out by the impact and hit the mountain hard. The huge force scraped the mountain into pieces.

When the smoke from the explosion completely dissipated, the Snake Emperor Dragon's head had become tattered by the explosion magic, and even few scales were left intact.

Many people who saw this scene couldn't help but curse.

Not towards the Snake Emperor Dragon.

But towards the hunters.

"Damn it! Monster!!"

Chapter 138 Protect me! Big brother with a shield!

"what happened?!"

The violent explosion just now spread throughout the world almost in the blink of an eye.

Elves, goblins, dwarves, tall men... all the forces capable of knowing what happened here learned the scale of the explosion from their own spies.

The original island, which was originally dark due to the dark clouds in the sky, exploded just now, and the light from the explosion almost blinded people.

Although the scope of the explosion was well controlled, the moment the air wave generated by the violent explosion pressed down from the high mountain, even the trees growing around it were broken by the air wave.

When the people who were blown to the ground by the gust of wind climbed up again in a daze, they could still see that the aftermath of the explosion had formed a huge mushroom cloud in the air, which covered the sky like dark clouds.

The mountain rising from the maze... was also affected by the residual power when the Snake Emperor Dragon was attacked by the explosive magic.

Many mountains had already been destroyed by the fan blades of the Snake Emperor Dragon's body as it meandered upwards, and now a large gap suddenly appeared... That part of the mountain seemed to have been directly evaporated by the blasting magic, turning into a huge hole, making people wonder whether the mountain would collapse soon.

"Hunter...it's you!"

The demon, which had now transformed into the Snake Emperor Dragon, had its entire head damaged considerably by the sudden explosion magic. Although it did not cause any impact on the demon itself, the injury to the Snake Emperor Dragon undoubtedly weakened the demon's possibility of escaping from the arena.

"Ah... My physical strength and magic power are all exhausted..."

At this moment, after shooting the arrow, Kazuma collapsed to the ground.

Although the Crimson Demon Clan's state can still continue, Kazuma can now fully understand what Megumin feels like after releasing explosive magic.

And now...

The Snake Emperor Dragon has already noticed the side that launched the attack.

The demon who wanted to escape from the arena realized one thing.

If it doesn't get rid of these hateful hunters now, its chances of escaping will be slim.

After discovering the direction of the attack and that Kazuma, Naofumi Iwaya, and the Canary Squad were all there, the demon controlled the Snake Emperor Dragon without hesitation and opened its huge mouth towards this side.

Pale and shining unknown energy began to gather in the mouth of the Snake Emperor Dragon, with a terrifying high temperature, as if it was gathering strength to exhale.

"It's over, it's over!"

At this moment, Kazuma was slumped on the ground with his butt sticking out. Looking sideways, he could see the Snake Emperor Dragon gathering strength to exhale. "We want the cat car! Take me away quickly!!!"
