Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 734 Chapter 716. Charged Slash

When the enemy launches a long-range attack, the close-range attack will be weakened.

 This simple combat experience cannot be said to be wrong.

 After all, the muscles used in long-range attacks do not overlap much with those used in close combat. Even a relatively simple action like shooting a gun is the same.

And if you want to mobilize the originally idle muscle groups in a tense and sudden attack, you need an unimaginable ability to recruit nerves.

 This ability is difficult to improve without scientific, planned, and purposeful training.

The Nergigante lives in a natural environment. The opponents it encountered in its previous life were no creatures that could switch between far and near combat states in an instant.

Although monsters in the wild fight each other mercilessly in the natural environment, abilities that cannot be trained cannot be trained.

 But today, what Nergigante encountered was not a ‘monster’.

 “Bang!!”

　　The big horn of the extermination dragon was smashed down hard like a headbutt! But the sound that erupted afterwards was extremely recognizable, like a solemn church bell being tolled.

 The impact of the Nergigante was pushed back at just the right moment! So much so that this giant beast of nearly a hundred tons staggered on its four claws and took three or two steps back.

As the starting point for pushing back the Nergigante, the basalt ground under Lan En's feet was crushed to pieces! Exposing the soft and viscous magma beneath.

The shaken magma splashed and landed on a layer of invisible chaotic magic shield, sliding down along the spherical outline. There was a 'click' sound as the shield was under pressure.

At the moment just now, Lan En let go of [Fire Assault Crossbow] and fell to his feet.

Immediately afterwards, what was pulled out from the alchemy leather bag on the back was a terrifyingly large sword!

　　【turbid current·destroy】!

The dark sword surface, the sword blade shining with white cold light, and the roughly wrapped hilt

If this was a sword, it would be too big and too rough. It was simply a roughly forged piece of iron!

Now, the sword was held pointed down by Lan En in front of him.

Even the Nergigante's headbutt didn't leave a trace on the black blade!

The light red vindictive flames on the demon hunter's body are now gradually getting lower.

 Hunters’ great sword skills—[Tie Shan Kao]!

It is not a move with some kind of unarmed technique, but using fighting spirit to strengthen specific parts with all your strength in a very short period of time, and then using your eyesight to see through the monster's movements and predict the timing.

 Then collide with the monster's attack!

 Those who don’t know the reason may think that this is a manifestation of the strength of the hunters overwhelming the monsters.

 But every great swordsman actually knows that this is a reflection of technology and experience.

 The tactical idea is similar to Jeet Kune Do’s [Interception].

At the weak point where the enemy's power cannot be fully deployed, take the lead and accurately insert your own attack.

In this way, even if the monsters have a weight advantage and a strength advantage, they can still attack hard.

However, the sword hunters who hedge against it will basically not be seriously injured.

Moreover, this technique can also complement the core moves of the great sword system.

 “Drink!”

Lan En shouted loudly!

The fighting spirit flames in his body that had been silent surged again!

This light red fighting spirit condensed on the wide and terrifying blade, leaving a red and black fan-shaped afterimage in mid-air. The demon hunter's arm muscles swelled and bulged due to the stimulation of fighting spirit, and even the armor's armor was broken. The buckle was so tight that it made a clicking sound!

 Continue

 “Bang!!”

 “Ouch!”

The Nergigante, who had just been pushed back two steps, didn't even have time to re-adjust the center of gravity of his four claws. The sword that had just pushed it away hit it on the head again!

The sword was far heavier and more powerful than before. Although it was still difficult to cut this time due to the tough body of the ancient dragon, it had fully met Lan En's tactical expectations.

The big sword hit the left horn of the Nergigante, making a terrifying sound of steel colliding with hard objects.

Although the heavy force did not directly smash down the huge horn, it had already splashed out fine bone stubble in the light red flames of fighting spirit.

Moreover, the Nergigante's head was severely twisted to the left due to this blow.

 The left side of his face was so pressed that it rubbed against Laoshan Dragon's back.

The big horn on the left was directly pressed into the lava under the ground together with the big sword.

 【Strong·Charged Slash】!

The core technique of the great sword is the three-stage [Charged Slash]: the initial [Charged Slash], the second stage [Strong·Charged Slash], and the final stage [True·Charged Slash].

Each period of fighting energy accumulation can increase the terrifying destructive power of the great sword. Under normal circumstances, only by cutting off the previous section can the fighting spirit activity enter the next stage, and then the next stage of energy accumulation can begin.

 But after using [Tieshan Kao], the activity level of fighting spirit is equivalent to a direct jump! You can start the next stage of charged slashing directly!

 In just a moment, Lan En used these closely connected and demanding technical combos in his first actual sword fight.

With the sword drawn backward, Lan En held the [Turbid Current: Destruction] and swung it to the side, shaking off the lava stuck on the sword surface.

The Nergigante also used brute force to pull out the giant horn on his left side that had been smashed into the ground.

From the ferocious big horn, the unsolidified lava is dripping down sparsely.

 At the base of the big horn next to the head, there is a gap visible to the naked eye.

 There is no chopping, but this sword will definitely not suffer any more losses.

Lan En tightened his hand holding the hilt of the sword, subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth and smiled.

 The Nergigante, who had pulled out his horn, seemed to look at the sword in Lan En's hand in disbelief.

The dark and deep sword body, the pale and ruthless blade.

 And just taking it out can make people suddenly feel frightened and violent for no reason.

　　too familiar.

 These things are all too familiar to Nergigante.

Even the feeling of being chopped off the giant horn on the head is all too familiar.

The bone gap in his big horn was not 'cut out', but was broken and 'eaten' by the sword!

 It’s ‘eating’ me!

 The feeling of familiarity was followed by a tremor of excessive anger.

It is unbelievable that the corners of its mouth, which are covered with hard scales and hard skin, can actually twitch muscles out of incomparable anger.

 “You recognized it too, right?”

Lan En was holding the [Turbid Current·Destruction], staring at the Nergigante with his eyes fixed on it, and muttering in his mouth.

Even hunters have never seen a sword with a total length of more than three meters and two meters.

 And this sword is long enough to penetrate the entire chest with one blow in front of a twenty-meter-long Nergigante.

What's more, the material of this sword was cut from it!

  In other words, a sword that is full of threats and deterrence!

 But with the temper of the annihilation dragon, it will only feel angry!

  Incomparable anger!

　　Its body was shaking with rage, its head was slightly lowered, and it was about to roar again.

This time no one can use the heavy crossbow to exert extraordinary accuracy and pour special ammunition into its mouth.

But just as Wende and Aiden were rushing here, they had already covered their ears, and Lan En also subconsciously raised his hand.

 “Woo?”

The Nergigante's trembling suddenly stopped, and its head tilted to one side.

Lan En also seemed to feel something. He held down the roaring bear head necklace that suddenly started to tremble on his chest, and his dark eyes looked in the same direction as the Nergigante.

 In that direction, a strange, gloomy and huge chaotic magic suddenly appeared!

 “Wende! We need support here!”

In the tail area of ​​the Lava Dragon, the voice of a hunter who had drank with a team of three people and one cat sounded loudly and got closer and closer.

That is the hunter riding a pterosaur to report the news.

“An unknown monster has appeared! The swordsman master judged it to be the invasive species! He is resisting, but it is very difficult! Support is needed!”
