Chapter 1216 Locked
The giant beast blocking the road was covered with scars.
The traces burned by the high temperature of the flames are like hideous wounds cut by the winch, as well as countless tooth marks and claw marks.
Most of the marks are very new, and some wounds even have thick purple blood flowing in them.
Now you don’t need to guess what happened to those traces of movement and battle before.
Ancier put his finger on the trigger, but did not immediately launch an offensive.
Zhu Cho Li Feng, as well as the Qimian tribesmen carrying stretchers, were retreating quietly, trying to retreat in a roundabout way.
It's best not to start a fight until they've retreated to a safe distance.
However, the actions of monsters are always difficult to follow the hunters' wishes.
Perhaps still remembering the aura of Ted and the others, Behemoth, who was walking slowly, suddenly accelerated and chased the evacuating team.
"Stop it!" Gordon yelled, charging to meet it, and Ancier immediately launched fire suppression.
Hayata charged faster than Gordon and arrived in front of Behemoth first. She did not choose to confront Behemoth head-on. She staggered her steps and swept away from Behemoth. Si flashed in front of him.
The unsheathed sharp blade pulled out a ray of light, cut across Behemoth's forearm, and opened a long and narrow wound.
The wound was not deep, and there was not even much blood, but it was enough to cause Behemoth to feel pain and attract its attention.
Behemoth slowed down and shifted his gaze away from the two long-legged stretchers, staring down at Hayata who dared to attack it.
Without any hesitation, terrifying claws larger than the hunter's entire body swung out.
Hayata immediately turned sideways to avoid being hit by the sharp claws. At the same time, he raised the sword frame, trying to accurately defend the claw attack with the rigid air blade slash, and launched a counterattack.
However, the force of Behemoth's casual claw was far stronger than she expected.
Don't say she just fought back with Qi Blade Slash. At the moment when the sharp claws came into contact with the sword, if she hadn't tried her best to relieve her strength, she would have been knocked away with the sword.
Although the process was a bit thrilling, he finally stopped Behemoth's pursuit and successfully distracted its attention for a few seconds.
Gordon took the opportunity to get close to the side of Behemoth's head, drew his sword and briefly charged it up, before the latter could react, and chopped off the inscription sword.
The astonishingly sharp golden blade successfully cut through the thin skin of Behemoth's head. Feeling the pain, Behemoth turned his head angrily and opened his mouth to bite it.
Already prepared, Gordon raised his left hand, fired the projectile, and took a big step back by using the recoil of the enhanced shooting. While avoiding the bite, he picked up the sword and entered the true charging posture.
After taking an empty bite, Behemoth turned to stare at Gordon.
Gordon, who completed three stages of charged-up slashing preparations extremely quickly, roared and swung his sword down.
"Real charged slash!"
The sword struck firmly between the horns on Behemoth's head. The segmented blade tore open the scalp, leaving a trail of flesh and blood. huge wounds.
The force carried by the sword was not exhausted, causing Behemoth's head to sink.
Gordon felt a little happy.
The battle has just begun, and you are lucky to find an opportunity to strike preemptively.
But he immediately restrained his emotions.
If it were another opponent, let alone those flying dragons, even an ancient dragon-level opponent would be hit in the head by this sword, and his head would be smashed to the ground with a loud bang.
But Behemoth is too strong.
The neck wrapped in large muscles is even thicker than the head, which gives it an unreasonable ability to withstand hits.
When it was slashed with all its true power, its head only sank slightly, and then it raised its head against the sword in Gordon's hand.
The blood all over its body was like boiling magma, emitting a dangerous red light through its skin.
The scarlet beast eyes stared at him.
Gordon's heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, he felt like he was locked tightly by some kind of energy. It was like there were countless sharp needles in the air, pressing against every pore in his body.
Even if you just move, it will become riddled with holes.
"Be careful! It's targeting you!" Maka shouted to remind.
Is this what it feels like to be stared at by Behemoth?
Gordon tugged at the corner of his mouth, no wonder he said that the vanguard responsible for attracting was under great pressure.
“Boom!”
A claw came down much faster than before. , Gordon immediately slid sideways to get out of the way.
The giant claw fell against his chest and opened a large crater full of cracks on the dark gray basalt floor.
The strength of this claw is difficult for him to withstand even if he is in one breath.
Swinging claws, horns, and biting, Behemoth's attacks came at a rapid pace. Gordon dodged with all his strength, not daring to take a direct hit.
At this time, it is not wise to use counterattack moves such as one-stop attacks. With Behemoth's resistance, it is difficult for one or two counterattacks to interrupt Behemoth's offensive and create loopholes.
If you counterattack rashly, you will easily be killed by subsequent combos.
In order to reduce the pressure on Gordon, the other three people quickly stepped up their offensive. However, Behemoth seemed not to feel it. He stared at Gordon with red eyes and kept chasing Gordon.
The dull heartbeat of the giant beast became more and more rapid like a war drum, vibrating the eardrums of the hunters.
The orange-red hot light emitted from the inside of its chest also became brighter, gradually spreading to its head, neck and arms.
"Be careful! A powerful attack is coming!" Anhil, who was the farthest and had the best view, warned loudly.
Sure enough, Behemoth slammed his claws on the ground, raised his head and roared.
"Roar——!"
Surge of energy was injected into the ground, and countless golden-red cracks appeared on the ground in front of it.
Gordon seized the opportunity and immediately ran sideways for two quick steps. He fluttered and rolled and barely managed to get out of the dangerous area where the ground was flooded with light.
Without time to stand up, he raised his sword while half-crouching and entered a defensive posture.
The next second, the earth exploded like an erupting volcano.
The blazing explosions and gravel swept all around.
A huge impact hit the sword surface, pushing Gordon back several meters, but the defensive posture was still firmly maintained and was not broken.
After confirming that there was no big problem with Gordon, Ancil breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Now, there's even an explosion."
"Boom!"
There was no so-called freezing time. Behemoth, who had detonated the earth, turned around and struck again with his claws.
With no time to make a better response, Gordon had to roll to avoid again. However, Behemoth's physical strength was simply endless. He kept attacking with his claws, forcing Gordon into danger in the blink of an eye. .
Hayata took the risk and activated the air blade cutting, opening another wound on Behemoth's rock-hard shoulders and arms.
Maka, who had absorbed the essence of the monster, also flew up and rushed into Behemoth's sight. He swirled and attacked its side face, trying to distract its attention.
Unfortunately, it has no effect.
Seeing this, Ancier loaded Supernova into the crossbow as quickly as possible.
Now that there was no room left to save his cards, he decisively pulled the trigger.
The supernova that emerged from the barrel drew an obvious line of fire under the night sky and exploded beside Behemoth.
The violent explosion staggered it, and the rhythm of the combo was interrupted.
Having gained a precious respite, Gordon took the time to distance himself a little, adjusted his posture and regrouped, calmed his emotions, and activated his courage state.
A blue light flashed from his eyes.
The calm and fearless courage intersects with the fanatical desire to attack the awakened [Crazy Pattern] armor, finally reaching a wonderful balance.
“Hiss——” A breath of hot breath came out from under the mask.
Gordon, raise your sword again.
"Continue!" (End of this chapter)
