Chapter 1218 Storm and Meteorites (Home! Resuming normal updates!)
After a brief hesitation, Gordon gave up the frontal attack position.
Just as Hayata said, if it comes to pinning a large monster down, she is naturally no match for Gordon, but when it comes to evading attacks flexibly and dealing with a monster.
That's really what she's better at.
As a heavy weapon, the flexibility of the broadsword can never be compared with that of the katana.
It is not common for Hayata to act as a vanguard, restraining monsters while he acts as an attacker, but it does happen.
Silver Edge is, after all, a team that is "biased" towards offense.
Although there is no traditional heavy-armored vanguard, in contrast, whether it is him, Hayata, or Feng Ying, they can all perform the job of attacking vanguard.
Even Anhil can.
"Roar!"
Behemoth's giant claw slapped down.
There was no so-called temptation, just an all-out attack from the start.
The sharp blade was unsheathed, and Hayata slashed forward with the Iai Slash, using the inertia of the blade to slide and stagger to avoid the attack.
Even though the flying air blades only caused a tiny amount of damage to Behemoth, she was still the winner of this confrontation.
After all, Behemoth's attack completely missed.
Hayata, who had successfully integrated the attack, was about to turn around and launch a counterattack when Behemoth attacked, but the latter did not stop at all.
Before the cassock-slash could land, the latter's huge mouth had already bitten towards him.
If the opponent is a Ceratopsian or a Dragonite, she will choose to fight back with the Strong Air Blade, but facing the ridiculously strong Behemoth, she is not sure.
He twisted the movement forcefully, interrupting the cassock slash while taking advantage of the remaining inertia to step back.
See cut.
"Crack!"
The huge mouth closed in front of her, and the sound of the fangs, which were almost half her length, colliding with each other was chilling.
At this moment, Hayata truly felt the pressure Gordon had experienced before.
Behemoth's attacks were not so fast that they could not react in time, but its endurance and strength were so amazing that there was almost no gap between its movements, and any attack was enough to be fatal.
Just look at the large cracked holes on the ground and you will know that blocking and defending methods are not very effective in front of it. How many attacks can a defender wearing full body super heavy armor withstand?
The same goes for the precise defense technique. Eight or ten slashes from the Qi Blade will not hurt Behemoth, but it is hard to say how many bones you will break.
On the other side, Gordon, who was staring at Behemoth's left arm swinging the sword, paused.
As if he was worried that Hayata might hesitate due to insecurity, he reminded her, "Don't worry, its condition is not good either. In a war of attrition, it may not be able to defeat us."
In fact, both he and Hayata knew that these were just words of comfort.
Behemoth's size is close to that of a giant ancient dragon, and it would be too difficult for a single team to hunt it.
But we must always have hope. Although words like "hope" and "confidence" may seem illusory, they can support a person's spirit.
If you fight with pessimism, your thinking will become dull.
Hayata, who was busy dealing with the attack, did not respond, or rather, did not have the time to respond.
Noticing the still solid and sharp red air blade on the Hayata sword, Gordon grinned in self-mockery.
I was really overthinking it. People who are easily despaired cannot develop the courageous style.
The sword was slippery in his hands, and the attacks of the other three people continued.
Behemoth has thick skin and flesh, but is by no means without the sense of pain. The damage inflicted by hunters may not be considered serious, but it cannot be ignored.
It growled and lowered its body, its limbs firmly grasping the ground, its muscles tensed and ready to move.
Gordon, who was preparing for a new round of charged slashes, immediately interrupted the attack and flew backwards. Maka, who was waving the insect stick in mid-air, quickly kicked Behemoth, flipped backwards to the ground, and pulled away at full speed.
Only Hayata did not retreat. He even took the opportunity to rush forward and slashed at Behemoth's face several more times.
Gordon knew that Hayata must have her own response strategy and follow-up plan, but he still couldn't help but remind her loudly.
"Beware!"
The moment he spoke, Behemoth suddenly moved.
The monster's huge body, which was far larger than that of an ordinary monster, spun in one circle at an unreasonable speed. Its short and thick tail, which was disproportionate to its entire body, swept around like a chain hammer.
The power of this blow was so great that not only Hayata could not block it, but any heavily armored vanguard would be knocked away with his shield.
But she naturally would not try to block such an attack. As Behemoth spun his body, she immediately distanced herself from him.
The giant tail turned into an afterimage and swept past her. The stirred airflow even formed a fierce wind pressure that made it impossible to open her eyes.
Knowing that a powerful attack was coming, it didn't seem like a smart choice to dodge in such a dangerous way that could result in death if one made a slight mistake, instead of retreating in advance.
Generally, only reckless young people who are looking for excitement and haven't suffered enough would do this.
For example, she used to get carried away in battles ten years ago.
Now she will not mess around for such reasons again. How can the thrill of brushing shoulders with danger compare to the anticipation of going home and reuniting with her daughter?
The only reason she took the risk was because it was necessary.
Why would Behemoth go to such lengths to force them back? Most likely, it was to pave the way for subsequent attacks.
Retreating early and keeping a distance is naturally safer, but it also gives Behemoth enough time and space to prepare a more powerful attack.
Gordon and the others naturally knew this, but the greatsword was not flexible enough and the insect stick did not have enough explosive power, so they could only do as their opponent wished.
But the katana is different. Although it is a bit risky, Hayata is the only one present who has the greatest chance of taking advantage of this opportunity to regain the initiative.
Sure enough, after forcing the hunter back with a spinning tail flick, Behemoth's body was once again filled with that blue-green light.
Several tornadoes are taking shape quickly.
Xianglan and Babaka, who had been prepared, immediately threw flash bombs.
But this time, the storm was larger in scale and more numerous, and before the flash bombs could get close, they were blown far away by the whirlwind and had no effect.
The strong wind was about to form a solid wind column, and the afterimage of cold light took the lead and penetrated through the wind column that had not yet fully formed.
The red arc of light cut through the storm.
Hayata's figure appeared beside the storm-summoning monster and sheathed his sword.
Then, a long and narrow sword mark appeared that almost ran across Behemoth's chest, and blood and sword energy exploded like cherry blossoms.
Sakura Air Blade Slash.
Behemoth, who was trying his best to summon the storm, was suddenly hit hard and fell back, howling in pain.
The etheric energy wrapped around it disappeared, and the storm that was about to form also dissipated.
"So cool!" Maka cheered and rushed forward waving the insect stick.
Gordon also laughed and launched another powerful attack.
Just when the hunters thought that the crisis was temporarily resolved and they could suppress Behemoth at least for a short period of time.
Behemoth once again raised his chest and neck, letting out roars that shook the earth and sky.
Different from the previous scarlet flames, the one burning up from around it was now.
In the originally clear night sky of the Dragon Crystal Land, dark clouds emitting ominous red light are gathering.
A meteorite from another world passed through the dark clouds and crashed down towards the hunters.
