Chapter 1221 Turning from defense to offense
As dark clouds gathered in the sky, everyone felt a sense of deadly threat.
My hair stands on end, my heart beats faster, and all my senses are giving me crazy warnings.
Gordon and others subconsciously looked up and saw that the scale of the dark clouds had expanded a lot compared to the previous time, completely covering the sky.
No! Those were not dark clouds at all. The dark clouds that flashed with ominous light were just appearances. In the center of the sky, there was a flashing red light.
A rift opened in the sky, leading to an unknown area.
The light in the crack became brighter and brighter, and something was coming out of it.
It was a blazing meteorite surrounded by flames of destruction.
Death fell from the sky.
"Get out of the way!" Gordon screamed.
Everyone understood what the consequences would be if they were hit by this meteorite, or even just affected by its aftermath.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they had made a plan beforehand.
Without any hesitation, everyone immediately started running towards the meteorite that was dozens of meters away.
Because they were knocked away by Behemoth, the meteorite that fell earlier was a little distance away from them, but this was not necessarily a bad thing.
If it had not been "kicked" out of the battlefield early, this meteorite might have been destroyed by the aftermath of the attack during the battle. That would have been real despair.
Ansel, who had consciously moved towards the location of the meteorite in advance, had already arrived behind the meteorite. He was firing at full speed to provide fire cover while loudly urging his companions to speed up.
Maka and Hayata were very fast. They covered the distance of thirty or forty meters in the blink of an eye and hid behind the meteorite.
Gordon, wearing heavy armor and carrying a big sword, seemed a little slow. Even if he ran as fast as he could, he still couldn't keep up with the speed of the falling meteorite.
Just as he was about to change his plan, draw his sword on the spot, and take a defensive stance to forcefully block, Pork Chop rode past him on a fierce wind.
Gordon quickly reached out and grabbed Liefeng's saddle.
Liefeng rushed forward suddenly, and finally rushed to the "safe area" behind the meteorite with Gordon at the moment when the flaming meteorite landed.
It's like being in the crater of an erupting volcano.
Flames and visible shock waves filled the entire world.
The meteorite in front of them was like a huge shield, helping them block the most deadly heat wave and impact.
Even so, everyone still felt like they were in a sea of fire. Everyone suffered burns to varying degrees, and the hair on Zhuchop Xianglan's bodies was even directly burned.
The flaming meteorite summoned by Behemoth was obviously different from the solid stone that fell naturally. The flames that swept across everything lasted for several seconds.
The meteorite blocking the crowd was melting rapidly. The hunters ignored the burns and tried their best to resist the increasingly thin red-hot meteorite to prevent this only life-saving barrier from being blown away by the flames.
Before the meteorite in front of him was completely melted, the flames caused by the falling flaming meteorite finally stopped.
They finally survived this fatal attack.
At this time, the surrounding terrain has changed, and the surrounding rocky mountains and rock walls have been melted and collapsed by the previous impact of the flames.
The basalt ground turned into a red-hot semi-molten state.
For a moment, Gordon had this doubt in his mind.
——Am I already dead and this is hell?
"Meow meow meow meow!!!" Xianglan, whose fur was burnt black, screamed and inserted a healing chimney, then sprinkled some life dust around.
He poured recovery potion on himself frantically, trying to extinguish the still burning sparks.
Of course, no matter how hard it tries, it cannot avoid the fate of having its hair shaved again when it returns.
The medicinal mist from the healing chimney and the drifting life dust healed the burns on everyone's body.
The hunter took a deep breath of the aerosolized medicine, and his respiratory tract that was burned by the high temperature air felt much better.
"An attack like that will take a lot of toll on it." Gordon's voice was a little hoarse due to the burns. "Take advantage of its fatigue and attack it!"
As he spoke, he gripped the hilt of his sword and charged at the panting Behemoth.
Hayata and Maka followed closely behind, and Ansel also adjusted his position and launched suppressive fire.
The ground was still red hot, hot enough to burn the soles of my feet through my boots, but I couldn't care less now.
Right now, Behemoth must be suppressed at all costs.
Gordon rushed forward faster and faster, dragging the sword diagonally in the usual posture of Bushido-style greatsword users.
The power of the Charge and Drag Sword Slash may not be as powerful as various strong-charged and true-charged ones, but it has an absolute advantage in speed.
Facing the three swordsmen rushing towards him quickly, Behemoth roared, turned around, swung out his giant tail, and swept across to intercept them.
In this situation, the flexibility of the dragging sword slash was fully demonstrated. Gordon leaped over the giant tail and continued to rush forward without slowing down.
Hayata and Maka also crossed the giant tail in their own ways and almost arrived in front of Behemoth with Gordon.
Gordon roared and swung his uppercut, hitting Behemoth's jaw and causing it to fall back.
Seizing this flaw, Gordon immediately picked up the sword and entered a charging posture.
After activating the projectile and using the recoil to quickly enter the true charge stance, the blade locks onto Behemoth's head and neck, and the incredibly powerful true charge slash is ready to be unleashed.
Behemoth reacted quickly, raising its claws and slashing at Gordon who was charging.
The power of such a claw may not be as strong as a full-strength slap, but it is fast enough. Once it hits Gordon who is defenseless in the charging state, it is enough to knock him away.
But Gordon acted as if he didn't see it and continued to accumulate strength.
Just as the claw attack was about to hit his side, Hayata dodged and inserted himself between him and the claw, raised his sword and blocked the claw with the tail of the sword.
Even though it was just a simple claw, Behemoth's amazing strength made it difficult for her to counterattack with the Strong Blade while defending accurately as usual.
The force that could not be completely removed forced her to slide back several meters, but she also successfully deflected Behemoth's claws.
Under her cover, Gordon successfully completed the charging, and swung down with the full-power true charging slash, cutting another bleeding wound on Behemoth's chest and neck.
Thick purple-red blood gushed out and splashed on his body. The [Crazy Marks] was once again fully activated, healing his injuries while providing him with amazing strength.
With several consecutive sword strikes to the head, he successfully caught Behemoth's attention.
Different from his previous combat strategy which was mainly based on self-preservation, he began to launch a more radical and repressive attack.
Hayata changed his action mode at the same time, constantly using Iai Slash and Goki Blade Slash to create loopholes for Gordon and cover him in his attacks.
Maka jumped onto Behemoth's back again, and even Ansel began to gradually close the distance to increase the accuracy and power of his shooting.
When dealing with ancient dragons or powerful enemies of the same level, they rarely use this kind of suppressive attack strategy.
This is more proactive, but also more risky.
However, the incredible power of the flaming meteorites summoned by Behemoth forced them to abandon the safer war of attrition.
The only barrier that could be used for hiding has been destroyed. It is not worth taking the opportunity to suppress Behemoth and wait for the latter to summon another flaming meteorite.
They will lose, possibly even be wiped out.
