All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"I'm already in Changkong City, but I'm still some distance from the Third Herrscher."

"Damn it... the Herrscher's abilities... have almost paralyzed all our facilities..."

On the other end of the communicator, Velvi complained that her long-prepared weapon against the Third Herrscher had been paralyzed by the EMP released by the Herrscher of Thunder, and that her engineering department had barely managed to salvage the communication facilities after doing everything in its power.

"Enough talk...give it to me..."

The voice on the other end of the phone changed to a slightly cold, mature female voice.

"The Honkai energy index in the center of Changkong City is still rising. The Third Herrscher is obviously making some big moves."

"Headquarters... they're about to... take action, so you need to prepare as soon as possible."

The message from the other end of the communicator immediately made Alicia's expression darken, and their gazes turned to the figure surrounded by lightning in the sky.

"There's no other way now..."

Alicia sighed, and Zhou Si spoke up understandingly.

“Miss Alicia, why don’t you go over there and deal with the Herrscher matters first? Bai and I are enough here.”

"Yes meow."

Zhou Si pointed to the greatsword behind him, and Bai nodded in agreement.

"In that case..."

"Then we'll have to resolve this as soon as possible."

Alicia winked playfully at Zhou Si and Bai, her sly smile momentarily stunning Zhou Si.

"And you can just call me Ellie, we're already friends, aren't we?"

Chapter Fifteen: The Thunder Dragon (?)

"Report, the fourth assault team is approaching the location of the Third Herrscher..."

"The team is 2 kilometers away from the target location."

On the deserted streets, a squad of fully armed Moths soldiers were advancing toward the Third Herrscher's location. The armored vehicles behind them were loaded with special weapons designed to target the Third Herrscher, and their mission was to transport the weapons within their strike range.

The intense magnetic field above Changkong City rendered all guided weapons ineffective, and the Herrscher of Thunder's abilities easily destroyed their prized war machine. In the end, they had no choice but to resort to this method, sacrificing human lives to buy a chance.

There are dozens of such squads, but very few of them actually reach the designated location.

However, these soldiers were probably already prepared.

"Captain, isn't it too quiet on the streets?"

One of the warriors couldn't help but ask, just as he said, since they entered the core area, they had encountered fewer and fewer Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors, and now they couldn't see those monsters at all.

The once bustling streets are now just ruins. The silent ruins keep the soldiers on edge, but the constant rumble of thunder in the air keeps them on edge.

"...Continue to follow the command line."

The older captain remained silent for a moment. He didn't know what was going on either, but as the captain, he had to stay calm, especially in situations like this, so that his teammates could feel at ease.

"Captain... Captain, come over here quickly!"

One of the soldiers seemed to notice something; his voice trembled uncontrollably, and he hurriedly called the captain over.

"Don't panic."

The captain came to his side and followed the soldier's gaze.

Upon seeing the scene before him, even this battle-hardened warrior couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

In a ruin that is no longer recognizable, countless charred limbs and severed bodies of humans, zombies, and Honkai Beasts are scattered everywhere, among which a huge charred snake-shaped body can also be seen.

The pungent smell of burning gas wafted through their masks and into their nostrils, leaving them momentarily stunned by the terrifying sight.

The captain only paused for a few seconds before regaining his composure. He walked over to one of the charred corpses, which was now completely carbonized. Apart from the shape indicating that the person was likely human, everything else was buried under the charred shell.

The captain reached out and touched the corpse. It was still slightly warm, and his fingers were almost burned even through his gloves. The captain's expression immediately changed drastically.

"Oh no, it might still be nearby."

But by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Before his team could react, he heard a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and earth from behind. Blood instantly seeped from his ears, and a powerful impact sent them flying.

In his dying moments, the captain could only vaguely see a giant, tan beast covered in 'blue armor' crawling towards them.

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

"Ellie, are we getting closer to the center area...?"

Looking at the direction the footprints pointed in front of him, Zhou Si suddenly had a bad feeling. He subconsciously stopped and looked at the pink-haired beauty next to him.

Alicia nodded. The concentration of Honkai energy around them was becoming increasingly exaggerated, but no Honkai beasts were seen nearby, which was truly puzzling.

"How does your Firemoth faction plan to deal with the Third Herrscher?"

Zhou Si raised a question, his premonition growing stronger, it was very likely that he would not be able to bypass the Herrscher of Thunder in this mission.

"The soldiers of the Fire Moth will draw away and deal with the Honkai Beasts surrounding the Herrscher of Thunder, and then I will carry the Third Herrscher Armament 2.0 made by Velvet to complete the decapitation of the Third Herrscher."

Alicia honestly told Zhou Si about their plan.

"It's really simple and easy to understand."

Zhou Si's lips twitched, but to be fair, this might indeed be the simplest way. Facing the Herrscher of Thunder, most of the human side's weapons are currently unusable, and those ordinary soldiers would only be sent to their deaths.

And Alicia does indeed have a record of killing a Herrscher on her own, so it's not impossible for her to do it again.

But all of this is contingent on that guy not suddenly getting involved.

Zhou Si thought with some concern.

The Tigrex had clearly undergone some significant changes. They followed its trail all the way, and countless pieces of evidence suggested that the creature seemed to be absorbing Honkai energy through feeding.

The worse news was that it seemed to have succeeded. Zhou Si subconsciously poked the Honkai Beast corpse in front of him, which was roasted by lightning.

"We might need to speed things up, otherwise that Tigrex might do something bad."

Zhou Si's expression turned serious, and Alicia nodded as well.

The two people and the cat sped up again, but they hadn't gone far when they heard a deafening roar ahead. It was no longer necessary to say who the sound belonged to; Bai and Zhou Si had already given Alicia some information about Tigrex on the way.

At their speed, they quickly arrived at the ruins, and at that moment, the true form of the giant monster finally appeared before Zhou Si.

"Has it changed that much...?"

Zhou Si looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar monster in front of him and muttered to himself.

The enormous monster, tens of meters tall, was feasting on a snake carcass. Its originally brownish-yellow scales were gradually turning blue, covered with a milky-white shell, and several huge wounds ran across its body.

Its triangular ears twitched incessantly, and Zhou Si and the others subconsciously slowed their movements.

"Take this."

Zhou Si handed two gem-like objects to Alicia. Alicia looked at the pure white crystals in her hand and asked Zhou Si with some confusion.

"This item can reduce the effects of dragon roars on you. Although there's no craftsman to help you embed it into your equipment, carrying it will still have some effect."

Zhou Si leaned close to Alicia's ear and whispered that this was a sound-absorbing bead that he had taken from the caged bird's toolbox—something she 'didn't want.' He said that having this would make Alicia's ears feel better later.

As for him, after so many years of struggling in the New World, he has already developed an indestructible eardrum! And even if the eardrum ruptures, it can grow back thanks to his recovery ability.

Looking up in the direction of the Herrscher of Thunder, and confirming that she hadn't made any moves yet, Zhou Si made a gesture towards Alicia, then placed his hand on the hilt of the greatsword.

Chapter Sixteen: Real Saving, Awesome!

Zhou Si stealthily crept up behind the Thunder Dragon, a stealth technique he had learned from his orc friends in the New World.

Perhaps because it was focused on eating, even though Zhou Si had already touched its side, the Roaring Dragon remained unmoved, as if it had not noticed anything.

Looking at the enormous monster in front of him, Zhou Si took the greatsword off his back and placed it beside him.

Zhou Si exhaled a breath of stale air, gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, took a step forward with his left foot, and activated all the muscles in his body at that moment. The heavy training greatsword slammed into the light blue scale on the left hand of the Tigrex.

The first clash between steel and beast scales ended badly, probably because the training greatsword was too inferior. This powerful blow not only failed to shatter the Thunder Dragon's scales, but the greatsword was also deflected by the hard dragon scales.

Fortunately, Zhou Si's strength was indeed great enough. The massive body of the Thunder Dragon was knocked off balance by his sword strike. Although the scale did not crack, it was clearly dented in.

"Gan!"

Zhou Si cursed out loud without thinking, knowing that this was not something he should be fighting right now; a beginner's greatsword couldn't break through its defenses at all.

The next moment, several pink arrows, as clear as crystal, landed on the Tigrex. It was clear that Alicia's arrows were not the cheap ones Zhou Si had. The arrows shattered instantly upon contact with the Tigrex's body, and the pale blue scales also cracked, leaving several marks on the Tigrex's body.

Caught off guard by the two attacks, the massive dragon turned around with an exaggerated speed, its crimson eyes fixed on the two ants who dared to challenge it.

"Alicia, cover your ears!"

While reminding Ai Li, Zhou Si immediately lunged to the side and then covered her ears.

Roar--! ! !

The Thunder Dragon straightened its body, raised its long neck high, and thrust its head forward. A deafening roar accompanied by a terrifying shockwave surged toward Zhou Si and Alicia.

During his lunge, Zhou Si was violently thrown back by the shockwave, but he did not panic. Instead, as if he had anticipated this, he stretched out his greatsword and stabbed at the building next to him, forcibly stabbing himself back to his feet.

Because of the sound-absorbing beads and the fact that she was relatively far away, Alicia was not affected by the dragon's roar.

However, she now understood why Zhou Si had repeatedly emphasized the danger of the Roaring Dragon's roar.

"Zhou Si, are you alright?"

Alicia quickly helped Zhou Si up from the ground, but Zhou Si did not answer her question. Instead, he spoke to her seriously.

"Aili, I'm leaving the remote support to you. If you see the Tigrex charging, you must run away immediately."

It was only then that Alicia noticed that blood was flowing from Zhou Si's ear.

Alicia was about to say something, but after seeing Zhou Si's serious face, she could only nod to indicate that she understood.

The shockwave from the dragon's roar destroyed the few remaining buildings in the vicinity. At this moment, some of the Tigrex's scales had turned dark blue, and white bone spikes had grown from its wings. Its already terrifying appearance had become even more ferocious.

Blue-purple lightning flashed between its thorns, and the Tigrex's eyes had now turned completely crimson.

"Master, I'm here to help you, meow!"

Bai then changed into his hunting gear and, before the Tigrex could attack, blew his flute. A stirring melody rang out, and Zhou Si and Alicia felt as if they had suddenly gained more power within their bodies.

Bai wanted to switch to the next song, but the Thunder Dragon wouldn't wait any longer.

With its thick forelimbs embedded in the ground, the Thunder Dragon lowered its body, and the next moment, its massive dragon body pounced out, heading straight for Zhou Siche.

The Thunder Dragon, which was dozens of meters away just a second ago, flew right in front of Zhou Si the next second, opening its blood-red maw and preparing to swallow Zhou Si as food, but Zhou Si obviously wouldn't let it succeed.

Zhou Si calculated the distance to the dragon's tooth and rolled backward to dodge the attack.

The Tigrex, having passed Zhou Si, plunged its forepaws into the ground. Its massive body was exceptionally agile, twisting its entire body in mid-air to prepare for the second wave of dragon charges.

But when he turned around, he realized that Zhou Si had rolled and stopped right in front of the Tigrex's head.

At this moment, Zhou Si recalled the lone bird's hunting movements and training words.

His physical attributes, comparable to a humanoid golden lion, enabled him to accomplish a feat that would be extremely difficult for other hunters to achieve at this moment.

Zhou Si raised his greatsword behind him, stepped forward, turned sideways, and used his shoulder to bump into the Tigrex, which was preparing to repeat the second wave of dragon charges.

The enormous monster's body clashed with the tiny human body, and the result was astonishing: the Tigrex, which was far more powerful in both size and imposing presence, was at a disadvantage.

The Tigrex, still charging up its charge, obviously didn't expect anyone to dare to crash into it like that, let alone that it would be a humanoid dragon. The immense force sent its head flying to one side.

Seeing the Tigrex stop moving, Alicia released the arrow in her hand, which fell like a meteor and accurately pierced one of the Tigrex's eyes.

The pain instantly drove the Tigrex to lose its mind, and that terrifying roar rang out once again, but this time, the sound contained even more rage and pain.

"I've been waiting for you!"

Zhou Si, who could no longer hear anything, grinned and, seeing the Thunder Dragon open its mouth, once again turned sideways and thrust forward, using his Iron Mountain Lean to block the shockwave.

He then raised the greatsword behind him, gathering all his strength.

"Eat my true, fully charged teeth!"

Zhou Si roared and slammed his greatsword down on the dragon head in front of him with immense force. The dragon head's scales shattered instantly, but the True Charged Slash, as the greatsword's finishing move, was clearly more than that.

The power carried by the greatsword that had fallen to the ground had not yet dissipated. Zhou Si used this power to flip and leap up. The inertia generated by the rotation lifted the greatsword that had fallen to the ground up again. This strike was even more powerful and heavy than the previous one.

With a whooshing sound, the Thunder Dragon's head was smashed into the ground by the sword.

This series of actions left Alicia behind him dumbfounded. Wasn't this friend from another world's stats a bit too violent?
