A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 293: "Monster Eater" and "Neck Hunting" Part 2

The distance between "neck hunting" and "neck hunting" was about ten meters.

Reurus quietly calms down with the Dragon Slash in place and waits for the opponent to move.

Normally, the distance is open, but for Reurus and "neck hunting," the distance can be filled in one step and transformed into a special interval.

Kiki Kiki......

Until then, it was a "neck hunting" that was running around, but I stopped my feet and yelled at them to intimidate them. The line of sight was directed at Reurus, not Ruvillia, and the red eyes were filled with hostility.

"Ha... you're starting to look good, hey"

Feeling “hostile” rather than lethal, Reurus laughs with his nose.

I can see in those eyes that I don't want to. Until then, it had been hostile to me in the name of killing, but now it's not.

Reurus knows he sees himself as a clear enemy, not as an obstacle to the obsessed prey (Ruvillia).

There are about two nasty ways to fight when chosen as a "neck hunter."

One is to be moved at speed to attack Ruvillia.

This can be done depending on standing around, but a moment of carelessness and a moment of misjudgment will not be tolerated. Although Anemone is around, a single breakthrough could lead to Ruvillia's death.

And the other thing is, "Head Hunting" lasts a long time.

The Neck Hunter doesn't know much about Calorie Unlocking, but if he had chosen a long fight, he would have almost certainly been defeated. The magic will not run out immediately because I have only accumulated it, but if I continue to use "Caloric Release", the magic will also be depleted.

I have enough, but I won't have enough. It is rare for a one-on-one battle to last that long, but at the chosen time of the enduring battle, it will be necessary to attack from the Reurus.

Then, knowing the power of Reurus, there could be a future where the "neck hunt" ran away, but whether it was happiness or misfortune, the "neck hunt" seemed to have made Reurus an enemy.

This must have triggered an uproar to kill yourself before Ruville. Reurus, who decided so, confronted the "neck hunt" while paying attention even to the moment of blinking.

"Kiki... chimeta. Fired, Morrow."

While saying so, the 'Neck Hunter' stared at the Reurus. Even though it was shallow, I could see emotions such as killing and anger as well as hostility, either because I wounded it or because I cut off the "pride collection” and dropped it on the ground.

"I see... I don't want your neck. I eat meat, I peel leather, and I take it home... but if it turns out to be material, I'll get my neck back."

…………

If the Neck Hunter declares that he will take his neck off, Reus will answer as usual. What did you think of the response of the Reurus? The "neck hunter" held his nails silently.

Then kick the ground with your toes so that you can get used to the slightly lighter body as the “neck ring” disappears.

Then, the "neck hunt" disappeared.

"Ooh, oooh!

Play the right nail in front of you with the Dragon Slash. The left nail, which was thrown as expected, also manipulated the great sword to play.

The blow is slightly faster than before. The alternating left and right nails approach the revulsion almost simultaneously.

Reurus plays it. Play and deviate with the minimum movement required.

But the "neck hunt" won't stop. Like in the previous battle, it relies on speed to carry out successive series of attacks.

Brawl fights that prioritize effort rather than flirting with speed. Left and right strikes from the "Neck Hunter" 's stubborn flesh are heavy, even if they prioritize speed.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Reurus roars and plays all of it. I couldn't afford to blink, but I just bounced.

I want to slash it as I play it, but the next attack will fly before it turns from defense to attack.

The attack itself is monotonous, so you can play with plenty of leeward - but it's just fast.

Crack Crack Crack Crack!

Until then, the "neck hunter", who was waving his nails with both hands, moved directly beside the rearview at a rate that left behind an image. Until then, Reurus had begun to get accustomed to "neck hunting" movements with offensive defenses.

However, "it” is already woven into the reus. His hands were scattered by Collard's training.

Shh!

Until then, the Dragon Slasher, which had been shaken for defense, went straight to the side, following the movement of the Neck Hunting. If you're heading towards Ruville, you're going to beat him to death without telling him to cut his back in half.

"Neck Hunting" crouched on the spot in a hurry to avoid slashing. He rebounded as if he had set the ground as a stepping stone, and shook his nails by the neck of Reurus in a trajectory that cut straight up from below.

Reurus avoids five-finger blades approaching in a different trajectory by slightly pulling himself back. At that time, the red hair grabbed on my nails danced slightly through the sky, but I didn't notice. I slashed back the "Dragon Slasher" that was shaking sideways and shook it towards the neck of the "Head Hunting".

Kiki!

Did the difference between the weapons make it so, or did they imitate the Reurus? The "Neck Hunter" jumps in the back to avoid slashing.

Therefore, Reurus aimed for "there.”

Follow the jumped "neck hunt" and release a magical blade. I tried to beat him with a magical blade instead of a "Dragon Slash."

Huh!?

But "neck hunting" isn't sweet enough to be chopped off.

Did you feel the lethality of Reurus, judged by magical movements, or was it just a conjecture?

Intersect the claws of both hands to catch the magic blade and spray it away.

"... chi"

With one tongue slashed, Reurus rearranges the 'Dragon Slash'.

Compared to the advanced monsters who have fought before, "Neck Hunting" is an easy-to-fight category. Now that you can manipulate the Dragon Slash without underestimating it, you can measure the difference in your strength slightly above the Castle Collapse.

At least it's not like vanilla or slime. Reurus is not an unusual creature that can't get out of its hands or feet by itself.

Speed and nail sharpness are very troubling, but “that's all” is the story - but it's not going to end because the "neck hunter" has a good instinct commensurate with his own speed.

(There's a difference between the weight of a blow and the effort, but it's a similar battle to mine.)

Before "neck hunting," which measures the distance, Reurus murmured inside.

The weapon and body are different, but there are parts of the battle that resemble a Reurus. It's a battle that relies more on physical abilities than on technology, and more on intuition where necessary.

Even though he asked Collard to teach him, Reurus is not training enough to laugh at the "neck hunt." But still, one step, two steps ahead.

I've taught you all kinds of techniques, but Reurus is only careful not to overshake his weapon. Even then, they were able to cross the "neck hunt" beyond each other's angles.

If the battle continues like this, we can take it far away. There was a clear difference to be sure.

--if the battle continues like this.

Ki-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k!

The "neck hunt" staring at Reurus unexpectedly burst into laughter. It was a revulsion that made me wonder what happened, but there was no reason to turn around.

I stepped in at the "neck hunting" that raised my laughter and waved down the "dragon slashing" conscious of speed rather than power.

"......!?

However, if you scratch it off, the "neck hunt" disappears. Until then, the black shadow ran over the edge of my vision, but I stayed to capture it.

The speed went up even further. The body of Reurus was moving before the brain could recognize it.

Reflectively reacts to the killing spirit coming from behind, and shakes the "Dragon Slash" to match it. Then a heavy shock was delivered to both hands, and Reurus stepped aggressively on the spot.

(What... damn it!

"Dragon Slash" is likely to be played from both hands. It was a revus that forced it in, but the "neck hunter" who showed up didn't mind, disappeared again.

Even the dynamic vision of the Reurus using "Caloric Release" is so fast that it can easily follow the remnants. Though the killing air itself is not gone, it feels like killing air from all directions, but Reurus strikes "Dragon Slash" according to the feeling of killing air.

Cacacacaca!

A mocking, joyful, bounced voice. Leaving such a voice on the spot, the "Neck Hunter" runs around the Reurus.

Didn't you show me the fastest yet? Reurus thinks so and tightens his mind, but pulls his cheeks to the slightest appearance of "neck hunting."

Until then, the "neck hunter", who was running on a two-legged walk, ran his hands on the ground with four legs.

The length of the fingernails that were confused with the sword is also shorter, so that they don't get in the way when running.

Perhaps moving with four feet is the fastest way for Neck Hunting to do it. I was worried about Reurus because he looked too imbalanced, but the opponent was a monster who thought he was a rabbit.

(Does it make sense for a beast to run faster with four legs...)

It's not magic like "strengthening" or "releasing heat", but runs in an easy-to-run way. The Neck Hunter chose such a simple thing, but the more he watched from Reurus, the faster it was.

(Why didn't you do it from the beginning... oh, yeah. That ornament got in the way.)

Perhaps you really liked it or were careful not to rub the “neck ring” against the ground.

With that in mind, Reurus pays attention to the "neck hunting" movement.

The speed is the same, but the direction change is also smooth because it runs with four feet. Move left and right at a speed that doesn't stop you from seeing it, and if you find any gaps, they will attack you instantly.

"Damn!

Plays the blade that was approaching the neck, and Reus prepares for the next attack.

As for Reurus, I felt like hitting myself a while ago. Even if you win with skill, you won't have to struggle if you can win with it alone.

Probably the fastest way to fight right now, and the most powerful way for the Neck Hunter.

Feeling it, Reurus retook the Dragon Slash and ran out to control the machine.
