The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　A thick, grayish-white beard covered his cheeks, upper lip, and chin, with the corners of his mouth turned up as if in a faint smile. Although he was indeed dressed as a hunter from head to toe, he looked like an old hunter who had retired from the front lines.

　The other man standing next to the old man was also a hunter. He looked much younger and was wearing armor made of carefully selected high-quality yellow Velociraptor hide and snow lion fur dyed in the same color scheme. His leg guards were a pair of loose, half-length trousers covering a close-fitting metal lining. Leather strips were distributed in a crisscross pattern on the surface of the trousers and secured with thumbtacks.

　"Hello, I am Graham. Are you Mr. Laun who issued the urgent request for the Rathian?"

　"Hahaha~" The old man happily grasped Graham's right hand. "Oh, you must be the legendary Dragoncraft Hunter. I thought you must be all muscle like the Peach-haired Beast King, but I didn't expect you to be such a young lad."

　The old man gripped Graham's hands tightly and shook them up and down. "I am Laun, and this is my grandson Robbins. I also want to ask Mr. Graham to do something for me. I would like you to take this boy with you."

　"Hello, my name is Robbins, I'm seventeen years old, nice to meet you!"

　Graham was taken aback by the sudden request. Laun put his hand on the table and continued, "This child's parents don't want him to be a hunter, but he insists on being one, so I brought him here to see. For the hunters of the Dragon Academy, one more person won't be too much of a hindrance, right?"

　PS: First update!

　PS2: I'm making up for yesterday's missed post today!

　Volume 1: Chapter 330 - The Greedy Little Guy

　Since things had already come to this, Graham simply led the two to a random table to sit down and discuss the matter. "Before we proceed with the quest, there's something I need to tell you. According to my investigation, that female Rathalos is very likely a subspecies of Rathalos, the Pink Rathian. The Gathering Hall has already classified the Pink Rathian hunt as a high-difficulty quest. If you're sure you want to continue, Uncle Laun is fine. Robbins, have you ever fought a female Rathalos before? If not, how much do you know about it? Please tell me about that first."

　According to Graham's investigation, the female Rathalos that appeared in the quest was not simple. Not far from the accident site, someone found a cherry-red scale. Based on its size and texture, the scale was from the Rathalos's wing. After consulting with the blacksmith and the Elder Dragon Observatory, Graham confirmed that it was indeed a scale from the Pink Rathian, a subspecies of the female Rathalos.

　Compared to the female Rathian, the Pink Rathian's land mobility and flight capabilities are in no way inferior. In addition, the Pink Rathian's tail spikes are also enhanced and can secrete highly toxic venom. If the hunt is successful, the people around him should change their opinion of Robbins. However, Graham also realizes that using this idea as a motivation is actually very dangerous.

　Graham immediately asked the most important question, since whether Robbins knew about and had hunted female Rathalos would have a decisive impact on the difficulty of this hunt.

　"We've never fought each other, nor have we ever seen each other before. Isn't that precisely why it's worth hunting?"

　Even Graham, who was not sensitive to emotions, could clearly sense the other's confidence. Robbins might indeed be targeting the female Rathalos, but he couldn't have any distracting thoughts during the hunt. If he cared too much about what others thought, he might encounter unexpected dangers during the hunt. Therefore, Laun insisted that it would be fine for Robbins to just watch from the side.

　Although Robbins was somewhat dissatisfied, he dared not say anything more because Lauen was staring at him intently.

　After discussion, Graham agreed with Laun and Robbins to postpone their hunt for a few days to hunt a Jaggi. This was also to observe Robbins's strength. Graham not only wanted to observe whether Robbins had real skills, but also to understand his hunting habits. Hunting a monster like the Pink Rathian, which they were encountering for the first time, with a hunter they had never cooperated with before, could be extremely dangerous, so they had to prevent this from happening.

　After Graham and the others set off, the young girl and Lanmei followed Tanya and Gaunt to the riverbank in the ancient forest. Although Tanya was a little curious as to why the group of First Roaring Dragons left the riverbank after they arrived, she didn't think too much about it. It was a good thing that they could drive away these big guys without much effort, otherwise the First Roaring Dragons would stay near them and even trample their camp.

　As per their division of labor, Lanmei and Tanya were responsible for fishing, while Gaunt chose to hunt some armored dragons or spirit deer to bring back for barbecue.

　Lanmei and Tanya were fishing by the lake, each with a fishing rod. The adorable little girl, dressed in a sky-blue and white sailor uniform, sat on the riverbank, her white boots lying to the side, her delicate little feet constantly splashing water. However, the little girl quickly got bored and grabbed the fish by the tail, putting it into the river to fish. In terms of fishing skills, Lanmei was actually luckier and quickly caught a huge goldfish, while Tanya caught a small fish a while later.

　The little girl didn't have any fish biting her tail. Just as she was about to jump into the river, she saw Lanmei and Tanya's fish bucket. The little girl walked barefoot to the fish bucket, reached out her little hand and scooped out a fish. Without thinking much, she bit off the fish's head and immediately put it in her mouth.

　Lanmei caught another tuna, and as soon as she put it into the fish bucket, it fell into the little girl's hand. In the blink of an eye, only the fish head remained.

　A short while later, Gaunt returned with a herbivorous dragon and three elven deer. Knowing the little girl's appetite well, he killed a few more elven deer. Seeing this, Tanya wanted to prepare the fish to make grilled fish, but when she peeked into the fish bucket, she was surprised to find that both Lanmei's and her fish buckets were full of fish heads. Tanya looked around in confusion. Not to mention that a dog dragon or a jumping dragon couldn't steal fish silently, even if they did, it was impossible to leave only fish heads. Lanmei, on the other hand, subconsciously looked at the little girl.

　The little girl's cheeks were chubby, which was obvious; all the fish they had caught had been eaten by the little girl silently. Tanya looked at Lanmei with concern. Considering that the dragon people had a long lifespan, Tanya suddenly felt that taking care of the little girl must be a very tiring job.

　"Miss Tanya, why did you hunt the Sky Returning Dragon in the first place?"

　Tanya was dissecting the herbivorous dragon with Gaunt when she heard Lanmei's question. Tanya fell into thought, while Gaunt said in a deep voice, "That's a long story, but to make a long story short, it was the leader's request."

　Divide the herbivorous dragon and the fairy deer and

　While waiting for the meat to cook was getting boring, the little girl was lying on the lawn sticking out her tongue and playing, which gave Tanya time to give a detailed account of their journey.

　"Speaking of which, Gaunt was the one who witnessed the whole thing. I joined the guild when the captain was building the Dragon Ship. The captain's motivation was to find out which monster the white-gold scale belonged to, which is why he formed the guild. When we first encountered the Calamity Black Eclipse, it was at sea. I hadn't joined yet. I heard from them that the guy could move freely in the storm, even though he couldn't see anything."

　Lanmei was gently rubbing the little girl's nose with her thumb. She thought back to the first time she met the little girl, she looked like a Black Devouring Dragon. However, with that amount of scale powder, although she couldn't see, she could move around nimbly without any problem.

　"I joined the guild when the Dragon Ship was being built. There, I rescued a hunter who was attacked by the Black Devourer. After the Dragon Ship was completed, we set off for the dragon people's village, Xinard Village. At first, the Grand Elder did not believe it until he saw that scale and then he believed that the Heavenly Return Dragon had really appeared."

　Previously, Lanmei had been curious about which dragon's scales the little girl was born from, but now it didn't seem to be the one the hunter was hunting.

　Tanya continued, "The high monk explained to us the existence of the village of Sindal and the legend of the forbidden land. With all of our expectations, the hunter stepped into the forbidden land." Seeing the little girl's silly look, Lanmei quietly walked behind her and picked her up. She held the little girl's sides with both hands and slowly rocked her from side to side. The little girl's fair little feet swung back and forth in the air.

　Seeing the little girl's silly look, Tanya couldn't help but chuckle. Only then did the little girl realize that Lanmei seemed to be doing something wrong. She turned her head, gently bit Lanmei's palm, and then slipped away to Gaunt.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: I heard that watching martial arts movies can help you lose weight, because they often say things like, "You'll die of weight loss!"

　Volume 1: Chapter 331 - The Crimson Cherry Blossom in the Dark

　One after another, sturdy trees stand tall in the ancient dense forest, the thick jungle seemingly stretching outwards without end. From a distance, these clustered branches and leaves look like the surface of the sea, and the way the branches and leaves sway in the wind is like the waves surging on the sea.

　Extending from the center of the hunting grounds in the forest of trees is a long-dead tree. This giant tree looks so tall that it seems to reach the sky, but it suddenly bends to one side during its growth. This tree is one of the characteristics of this forest of trees.

　Graham straightened his back, took a deep breath, and the cool air, so different from that of Berna Village and the city, spread through his chest, making him feel incredibly refreshed. Thinking that some unknown monster lurked somewhere in this forest, a surge of power naturally flowed into his body.

　"What's wrong? Aren't you scared and want to go back?" Laun said jokingly.

　Robbins, catching his breath, coughed a few times. "How could that be! I'm already incredibly excited for the upcoming hunt!"

　“My child, although what you said sounds reliable, this time we are facing a Pink Rathian, not the kind of monster that can be messed around with. People usually give in to it. If there isn’t someone who can kill the Pink Rathian, then people will avoid it and pass by quickly.” To warn the excited Robbins, Laun warned.

　"Don't worry, Grandpa, I won't let my guard down."

　You'd better not.

　While on the ship, Graham had stocked up on items to fight wyverns. There were flash bombs that emitted bright light and material bombs for on-the-spot mixing, light bugs, dye bombs that could sense the location of hit opponents and emitted a strong stench, trap tools and nets that could create traps that would render wyverns immobile, large barrel bombs strong enough to blow away hard shells and small barrel bombs for detonation, and a whole bunch of other items such as healing potions.

　The sheer number of items startled Robbins. When he was hunting the Great Jaggi, even though he had used dyed gems, he had never touched traps, barrel bombs, or other such items. The hammer he carried on his back was all he needed.

　After passing through the massive herd of first-strike dragons, the three were about to ascend the slope when Graham, the leader, suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and pointed to the right of the group. There, they saw a group of Velocidrome. Although Velocidrome were mere cannon fodder compared to Rathalos, easily dispatched with a single blow from a hammer, their...

　They always move in groups and are very good at coordinating attacks with their companions, so they should never be underestimated.

　Not only do blue Velociraptors have sharp beaks like bird beaks, but their claws are also exceptionally sharp. A light scratch will immediately tear the skin. And most importantly, their calls can attract the fire dragon couple.

　"Avoid Velocidrome. If we fight them, their sharp cries will easily attract Pink Rathian, forcing us to rush into battle unprepared, which will greatly increase the danger."

　After traversing this sea of ​​trees, the hunt began. The three pressed on through the forest, not spotting any monsters along the way, yet they remained on high alert. The dense forest severely restricted their movements; the thick trees all served as obstacles, making the chances of encountering a large monster here relatively small.

　If the monster encountered small trees, it would surely ram them with its massive body and continue on its way. However, against the incredibly thick trees in the forest, even the largest monster couldn't do that. Moreover, even humans face restrictions in dense forests, so those enormous monsters shouldn't be appearing easily.

　What will happen if we continue down this path?

　Just as everyone began to feel slightly uneasy, the surrounding space suddenly opened up, and an open space where they could move freely appeared in front of Graham and the others. In the center of the open space, there was a huge tree that was beyond words. The trunk was so thick that several people could move around on it without any problem. Nature is truly amazing. It is hard to imagine that this tree, like the surrounding plants, grew from a tiny bud.

　However, now is not the time to marvel at nature. Graham is searching for the Pink Rathian, which, according to the map, is where it appears.

　However, there wasn't a single large monster in sight; all that was there were small, harmless monsters.

　"Only deer?" Graham said in a low voice, clearly disappointed.

　Has the Pink Rathalos moved to another location?

　Upon hearing Graham's question, Laun shook his head in confusion, "It should be here." The three of them could only walk toward the center of the clearing while keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

　The reason they stopped there and looked up was purely coincidental. Just like the flat ground before, the roots of a giant tree stretched out above their heads. Graham suddenly realized that something was lying on the roots, and then the eyes of the man and the dragon met.

　Upon noticing those crimson eyes, Graham tensed up and then screamed in an instant.

　"Get out of the way up there!"

　As soon as he finished speaking, Graham quickly dodged and grabbed Laun and Robbins, pulling them aside.

　A huge black shadow fell from the tree roots above everyone's heads and pounced straight towards the spot where Graham and the others had been standing. After Graham got up, he finally saw the creature clearly. It was the Pink Rathian, covered in a gorgeous pink armor.

　The Pink Rathalos tensed all its muscles and charged straight down towards the ground, slamming its sharp claws, which grew from the front of its thick legs, at Graham. The oppressive force felt as if it could pierce through the Blue Bear Beast Armor, like needles pricking directly into the skin. After charging forward a short distance, the Pink Rathalos stopped. Its body had a considerable weight, and it had just charged at full speed, so stopping at any time would be very difficult. Yet, this Pink Rathalos had managed to do the exact same thing using only the strength of its legs.

　Graham drew his hidden saber, and Laun and Robbins also drew their weapons. Looking at the Pink Rathian that was constantly spewing black smoke from its mouth, Graham was too nervous to make a move. But he knew that the monster in front of him was definitely not the Pink Rathian he knew.

　Seeing the Pink Rathalos land, Graham seized the opportunity to draw his hidden saber and charge forward. At that moment, the Pink Rathalos suddenly lunged at Graham, and just as they were about to collide, Laun swung his hammer and smashed it into the Pink Rathalos's face, dislocating several scales. The Pink Rathalos immediately turned and swung its long tail at Laun. Laun immediately rolled away to create distance and raised his hammer to block, but the elderly Laun misjudged the timing of closing the distance and was whipped hard by the Pink Rathalos's tail as it somersaulted.

　The hard spikes growing on the Pink Rathian's tail can secrete powerful venom, which caused Raun to be poisoned when he was hit by the Pink Rathian's tail. Fortunately, the venom secreted by the Pink Rathian is not the kind that can make a person unable to move instantly. However, as his physical strength is slowly consumed by the poison, Raun's weak body could not withstand an attack that he could endure in his healthy state. Moreover, if he continued to hunt in this state, the situation would be extremely dangerous.

　Volume 1: 332 - The Squad Combination

　Just as Graham hurriedly pulled out the antidote to throw to Laun, a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind them, followed by a strange sharpening sound. Graham instantly realized that it was definitely not the sound of Laun or Robbins sharpening knives, but what kind of monster could make such a sound?

　"Slay the dragon!"

　A massive blade, powerful enough to slay a dragon, sliced ​​through the air and struck the Pink Rathian. Unable to dodge, the Pink Rathian was slashed across the cheek with a deep gash. A colossal brute dragon, one that Graham had only ever seen in textbooks, was watching them from behind. The sound of the blade being sharpened was the sound of the brute grinding its tail blade with its teeth.

　After letting out a roar, the Pink Rathian pounced on the Glavenus. Glavenus immediately raised its tail to block the Pink Rathian's sharp claws. The enraged Pink Rathian then swung its long, thorny tail in an attempt to flip Glavenus to the ground. Glavenus took a step back, turned around, and swung its tail. The tail blade became scorching hot after rubbing against the ground, and instead cut off the thorns on the Pink Rathian's wings. In pain, the Pink Rathian flapped its wings to stay aloft while exhaling a fiery breath.

　The dragon swung its tail, creating a large ball of flame on the ground, before thrusting towards the Pink Rathian. After severing its breath, the scorching fireball nearly struck Graham and the others beneath the dragon. The three of them dodged the dragon's thick legs, fearing they would be crushed into a pulp, while searching for an opening. Unexpectedly, the dragon spewed out a large amount of explosive minerals from its mouth and retreated to avoid the Pink Rathian's flying kick. This inadvertently exposed Graham and the others between the Pink Rathian and the dragon. At this moment, facing the Pink Rathian's flying kick and the dragon's explosive projectiles, Graham, Laun, and Robbins had only one thought in their minds.

　Oh ho, it’s over!

　When Graham and his companions awoke, they were already back in Bernard Village. It was late at night, and those still active at this hour were likely hunters who had calculated their arrival time at the hunting grounds and chosen to set off at night, or hunters like Graham who were forced to return to town at this hour. Of course, they might also be those who had drunk too much and forgotten to go home. Anyone leading an ordinary life would likely be fast asleep in bed by now.

　Even at this time of day, the pub remains open.

　However, there were very few customers left in the shop. There were only four hunters who seemed to be trying to fill their stomachs before setting off to hunt boar, and a burly man who was drunk and slumped over the table.

　After being forced back by the Glavenus and Pink Rathian, Graham and his two companions treated their wounds and went to the tavern. Since the hunting activities were managed by the Hunter's Guild, they had to complete the relevant procedures at the meeting place counter regardless of whether they succeeded or failed.

　Although this wasn't the first hunting trip to end in failure, the forest was simply too far away.

　Because there are no direct ships, you have to change ships multiple times along the way, and the communication between the ships is very poor, so you have to wait most of the time.

　Although the group had actually encountered the Pink Rathian and gathered some relevant information, they still felt a deep sense of unease about the appearance of the Grimmsnarl and the Pink Rathian's unusual behavior. A pervasive feeling of futility lingered, impossible to shake off. Besides exhaustion, they felt as if a heavy weight was pressing down on them. However, returning safely was enough to bring them joy.

　Most fortunately, Graham, who was repeatedly knocked away by Pink Rathian and Glavenus, only broke a few ribs. Laun and Robbins also only suffered fractures. After drinking plenty of nutrients and resting for a few days, they were fine. If Graham hadn't changed his Bernard armor to the Blue Bear armor before setting off, it probably wouldn't have been just a simple fracture. After resting, their injuries healed quickly. Moreover, the path of the hunter would not stop there.

　At the Hunter's Guild Hall counter in the tavern, Graham accepted a quest titled "Beautiful Fish." This type of collection quest only required caution, so Kosha allowed him to take it. According to the client, his ship was capsized by a sea dragon while at sea, and he was then taken to Berna Village by the Palicoes of the Warm Island's Palico Team. Upon waking, the client wanted to give them a gift, and having heard of a very beautiful freshwater fish called the Goldfish in the Ancient Forest, he commissioned a hunter to help him catch it.

　Having completed the mission, Graham was about to rest in his cabin when Kosha, the mascot, urgently summoned him. The dragon Graham had encountered deep in the forest had attacked the research team that had gone to investigate, and more than half of the members were now missing. Only some hunters and researchers had escaped and sought help from the guild. Due to the urgency of the situation, the guild could not mobilize enough manpower for the rescue. So, although Graham's injuries had not fully healed, he was currently the only hope.

　Of course, the Dragoncraft Hunter had the right to refuse; after all, even he got tired. But, of course, Graham wouldn't refuse. Even with aching arms and a weary body, no hunter was willing to give up.

　How could Graham, who was determined to write his own story, possibly pass up such an opportunity when all the legends of his generation had vanished?

　With his concealed saber on his back, Graham was once again ready to face the dragon that had led them to escape from the ancient forest. This was the name given to the monster by the Hunter's Guild, and it was also the first step for the Dragoncraft Academy hunters to embark on their legendary journey. So sometimes Graham felt that keen intuition was more important than rigid research.

　While preparing to hunt the dragon, Graham kept thinking about that question, which was also a problem that the Hunter's Guild couldn't solve at the moment: where did those legendary hunters go? Why did the dragon appear in this place? But investigation wasn't Graham's job. He still had a lot of work to do. The one-eyed black wolf bird was still waiting for him.

　Although it was somewhat absurd, Graham still heard some rumors while recovering from his injuries. The legendary hunters had gone to hunt a terrifying monster, and that the Dragonite had been scared away by that monster and thus came to the human-inhabited area. To be honest, Graham didn't believe such a claim. Even powerful monsters like Kushala Daora, Teostra, or even Deviljho, which were capable of preying on the Dragonite, couldn't possibly have remained completely silent. Not to mention, the scene of the Rusty Steel Dragon attacking East Dorma, which caused the world to change color, could not possibly have gone unnoticed. Besides, what predator would swallow bones whole?

　As for the Pink Rathian, the conclusion reached by the Dragon Academy and the Hunter's Guild was that it was infected with the Mad Dragon Virus.

　If the chief researcher of the Dragon Calendar Institute hadn't said it himself, Graham would have really taken it as a story to scare children. But since it was true, Graham had no choice but to believe it. However, the Dragon Calendar Institute still needed to investigate further to determine whether it was the Lord of Reincarnation or the Heavenly Reincarnation Dragon.

　Volume 1: Chapter 333 - The Predator Deep in the Forest

　[Intelligence Update] Lanmei always believed she would accompany the young girl as she grew up. Just as the two dragons were preparing to leave the Old World for the New World, the young girl accurately found the Lava Dragon, nearing its end, in the southwestern sea of ​​the New World. The Lava Dragon's energy, enough to create another new continent, was ultimately absorbed by the Reincarnated Lord. As a result, the young girl, unable to control this energy, transformed into her adult form. This familiar yet strange appearance filled Lanmei with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. The solution was to accelerate the evolution of the Dragon Jewel within her. Therefore, the dragon girl decided to go to the Convergence Land to molt, an act that attracted Elbertion.

　For the creatures of the ancient forest, this recent period has been the most difficult time of their lives.

　First, there was the arrival of the Sky Comet. Occasionally, dragon scales falling from the sky would randomly kill a dragon, directly causing changes in the ecology of the Ancient Forest region. Monsters, out of fear of the Ancient Dragons, chose to migrate. The fire dragons living here were not on the Sky Comet's menu, so they continued to live peacefully in the dense forest. However, after the appearance of the enormous platinum-colored Ancient Dragon in the Ancient Forest and nearly wiped out its fire dragon kin, the Pink Rathian had to leave the Ancient Forest where it had always lived. Unfortunately, its husband, the Azure Rathalos, died at the hands of the Revenant while protecting it as it left. In the end, the Pink Rathian also contracted the Mad Dragon Virus during its departure.

　The dragon that lived between the Lost Ridge and the Ancient Forest was forced to come to the human settlement because of the dragon scales that occasionally fell from the Sky Comet. Later, after an investigation by the Hunter's Guild, it seemed that the reason for the dragon's departure was not only the Sky Comet. From the Scryer team members who escaped, the hunters learned that a mournful cry often came from the depths of the Ancient Forest. The Hunter's Guild had no choice but to ask Graham to investigate.

　In a clearing in the ancient forest, the little girl lay bored beside Lanmei, hugging her long, thin tail. Lanmei reached out and gently stroked the little girl's smooth black hair. Because of the internal heat organs in her body, the little girl's body was always warm.

　The young girl's crimson-gold vertical pupils were half-open and half-closed, clearly indicating that she was about to fall asleep. This place was one of the convergence points of the earth's veins, and the young girl would lie here to absorb the earth's vein energy when she slept at night. This was an instinctive behavior of hers, mainly because the dragon jade in her body needed a lot of energy to mature. Moreover, there were three dragon jades in the young girl's body.

　"Hikaru, what kind of being will you become in the end?"

　"Hmm, the light isn't clear either." The little girl loosened her long, thin tail and shifted to a more comfortable position on the grass.

　"That's true. And you eat quite a lot, but judging from the time and energy required for your previous molting, it's hard to say when your next molting will be. By the way, do you still want to go find that troublemaker, Balfaruk?"

　The little girl quickly shook her head. Upon hearing the name, she tasted kerosene in her mouth. "Ugh? No way, no way, it tastes awful."

　Meanwhile, on the other side of the ancient forest, the foraging serpent found a group of armored dinosaurs drinking water by the river. The serpent swung its tail blade back and forth, sharpening it against the rock surface.

　As the tail blade heated up and ignited with flames, the Gatling Dragon leaped towards the group of Ankylosaurus. The tail blade, carrying a large amount of flames, sliced ​​the Ankylosaurus in half at the waist. Finally, the Gatling Dragon held the tail blade in its mouth, used its sharp teeth to polish away the impurities on the surface, keeping the tail blade sharp. Then, it cut the Ankylosaurus into small pieces and quickly swallowed them.

　Its wandering around this area wasn't solely due to the appearance of the Sky Comet Dragon in the Lost Ridge. After all, while the detached dragon scales might threaten its safety, the probability of being hit by them was negligible. The more important reason for Zhanlong's avoidance was a terrifying scream emanating from a strange pit deep within the Ancient Forest. The endless hunger carried in the scream seemed to threaten to devour it, and the greedy desire mixed with the ancient dragon's aura made it dare not linger in the Ancient Forest.

　Just as Zhanlong was devouring the insides of the Scalyosaurus, a crimson figure pounced on him. From its aura, Zhanlong knew very well that this was the strange Sakura Rathalos.

　With black breath, the Pink Rathian raised its head and hurled a fireball at Zhanlong. Zhanlong immediately jumped to the side to dodge the fireball. The berserk Pink Rathian compressed the air and let out a fierce roar. The wounds left on its face by Zhanlong made the muscles on its face move even more, making the Pink Rathian look even more ferocious and terrifying.

　For the aggressive and fiery-tempered Blademaster, the response is a metallic roar. In the ancient forest, Blademaster occupies a high ecological niche and can completely overpower carnivorous monsters like Rathian. Moreover, monsters like Rathalos are its main competitors, and even when facing Deviljho, Blademaster may not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

　However, Zhanlong was facing a berserk, transformed Pink Rathian.
