A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 297: "Monster Eater" and "Neck Hunting" Part 6
Reurus hits head-hunting in the short time remaining, while Neck Hunting hits head-on to eliminate the threat of Reurus.
“Speed is mutually reinforcing," Reurus and Neck Hunting set foot on each other, and "Dragon Slash" and claws met. The "neck hunting" nails approached the trajectory of the Reus' neck, and the Reus waved the "Dragon Slash" to match it.
It is a blow that can be a special blow if it hits each other. Reurus is more advantageous due to the difference in strength, but in physique, "neck hunting" is preferred.
Therefore, it was mutually reinforcing to meet face-to-face - the moment we met, the body of "neck hunting" floated.
Kiki!?
Each nail of the swinging right hand is played, and the body of the "neck hunter" is largely played after losing momentum. A surprising voice leaked from the "neck hunting" mouth that recognized it, but Reurus returned the shaved blade and knocked it in.
Evasion is impossible because the body is floating. Therefore, "neck hunting" aggressively inserts the left hand nail into the slashing trajectory, preventing it from being cut diagonally from the shoulder mouth.
Giggle!?
Then the floating body was hit on the ground. Nearly two meters away, the giant body bounces around the ground, jumps up with signs of confusion, and adjusts its posture.
Reus ran after the jumping "neck hunt" and waved down the "dragon slash" to ignore the confusion of the "neck hunt". The Neck Hunter immediately retreated and avoided slashing, but Reus knocked the Dragon Slasher into the ground.
Roaring and violent shocks. The impact of knocking "Dragon Slash" into the ground blows away the soil and grass, and pushes it toward the "neck hunting" that tried to distance it.
The "neck hunter" who saw it immediately kicked the ground and rolled sideways, but regardless of the soil and sand that had been rolled up, the revus pushed in.
Shake "Dragon Slash" sideways to blow away the dust and sand floating in the sky and instantly crush it. However, I didn't stop my feet while swinging my sword, and I felt the magic of "neck hunting" and jumped.
"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Rigid blows that don't just say I'm going to cut through all the dirt and sand that I flew. Put on the sword a force that feels more than the “normal” "caloric release", and break the "neck hunt" vertically to drop the sword shot.
"Ki... ki ki ki!
I wondered whether to avoid or intercept, but the "neck hunt" was slightly dull. Still, cross your nails on the spot to catch Reurus slashing directly in front of you.
--A dry sound sounds like pachinka.
That's the sound of the "neck hunting" nails breaking. Ten nails grown on five fingers, hands together. Half of them break into space with a single blow.
In addition, it seems that it could not be completely received from the front, and the blade of the "Dragon Slasher" swallowed into the left shoulder of the "Neck Hunting" and caused blood to splash up.
"Giggle... giggle giggle giggle!
Were you able to withstand the hit of Reurus, or was it caused by pain? "Neck Hunting" twisted his body with a screaming sound, forcing away the blade of "Dragon Slash".
The consciousness of "neck hunting" is suitable for "dragon slashing" where the nails are folded in half. He is desperate to remove the blade from his left shoulder, and his consciousness is directed only towards the blade.
The right flank was emptied by preventing the "Dragon Slash" with the nails of both hands and removing the blade that had been eaten into the left shoulder. The Reurus who saw it was reflectively turning and kicking.
I have not learned how to fight with bare hands to the minimum, so it is a spinning kick left to my power. Still, kicking from “current” physical abilities is not an unusual force, and the moment it hits, it conveys the feeling of crushing and folding several ribs through the fur of "neck hunting".
At the same time, the sound of crushing and folding the raw tree from your left foot sounds. Apparently, they didn't follow the power of kicking.
Reurus watched "neck hunting" as he flew like a ball by kicking and flying, feeling insensitive to his broken feet.
Blood is spilled by the "Dragon Slash" that is eaten into the shoulder, and the tail is pulled from the "neck hunting" that flies through the sky.
It was a realuse that tried to run to the ground for chase, but unexpectedly, the smell of "neck hunting" blood came to my nose.
It has a sweet, rich aroma. I get hungry just by smelling it - "I'm thirsty".
Reus stopped chasing and turned to Dragon Slasher. The blood of the "neck hunt" adheres to it, and Reurus wipes the blood unconsciously with his fingers and carries it to his mouth.
"Ahh... it's delicious."
The taste of iron spreading in the mouth. I can't help but feel it tastes delicious.
Even a little blood tastes so good. If you spit your teeth in the wound and sip blood, it will become a supreme sweetener.
Reurus turned his gaze to the kicked "neck hunt". The effect of kicking and breaking the ribs or the "neck hunting" movement is dull, and the posture has not yet been restored.
In that case, the pain came from my left foot when I stepped on my foot.
(Eh... what did I do...)
The pain returned Reurus to me. At the same time, the magic of "caloric release", which was suppressed so as not to leak, is overflowing with "outside”.
"Gu...."
Your right neck is bleeding, and pain is spreading. The wound that should have stopped just now is bleeding. However, the momentum is weaker than before.
(Concentrate... Concentrate...)
While the Neck Hunter was regaining his posture, Reurus began to push the magic that overflowed his body again with the Caloric Release.
Then the bleeding stopped again - at the same time, I felt my consciousness fading away.
Thought is working, but reason melts rapidly. Reus, who realized it, desperately kept himself and set up a 'Dragon Slash'.
When I noticed it, my left leg, which should have broken earlier, also felt less painful. I tried to put weight on it, but I was able to hold on tight.
(Even though it's my body, I'm afraid I don't know what's going on... right now, I'm going to...)
Feeling the twitch and reason melting away, Reurus kicks the ground. The aim is naturally "neck hunting", and keep conscious so that you can take as little time as you can.
Instinct shouted “as is”, but Reurus' reason felt that the status quo was dangerous.
"Ooh, ooh, oooh!
By roaring from the bottom of her belly, she keeps herself alive, and Reurus rushes toward "Neck Hunting." She folded her nails in half and broke several ribs. There's no way it won't slow down, it's a great opportunity to finish it off.
Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The neck hunter whispered a moaning voice, but ran away from the Reurus. The pain is strong or the speed is slowing down, and the appearance of running is still not sharp.
The Reurus that followed it also slowed down slightly. Sometimes discomfort is transmitted from your left foot, but when you relax, your consciousness is likely to fly.
(This guy... may not really be good...)
As a result of the awkward manipulation of "Caloric Release", we have succeeded in pushing "neck hunting". It was possible because death was imminent, but Reurus felt that there were “three discomforts” in him.
The discomfort is eroding the existence of Reurus. I feel the revulsion as I roll it down.
And “it” also brings power to the Reurus.
"G, ga, ahhhhhhhh!
Reurus turned his left hand toward the "neck hunt", which ran around trying to make a distance. Roaring instinctively.
From my left hand toward "neck hunting," a flame blows up. It was as if with Sarah's help, and the aim was to spark a flame sweetly.
Cacacaca!?
Until then, while surprised by the sudden release of the flame by Reus, who had been fighting only with Dragon Slasher, the Neck Hunter had slit the incoming flame with his nails.
In the meantime, when Reus filled the distance with "neck hunting", he waved the "dragon slashing" he gripped with his right hand only. The left hand was burned by your flames, and I couldn't afford to grip the handle with both hands.
Prior to the imminent slash, The Neck Hunter chooses to evade being wary of being snapped earlier. After clearing the sword trajectory and avoiding slashing, he once again took a distance from Reurus.
Not inadvertently attacking would mean being so alert to the revus. Anyway, even if I cut my neck deep, it's moving around. On the contrary, he fights faster, more forcefully and without looking at himself than before he slashes his neck. It's only natural to be vigilant.
Then, the distanced "neck hunter" held his nails and stopped moving. It's a "neck hunting" interception, and there's a feeling of discomfort in the front - magic is concentrated.
(... again, Sole?)
They'll be ready to tear the space apart. Reurus thought so, but at the earliest there was no reason left on the little finger.
Even though I think it's dangerous, my body moves. Soon the left hand, which was returning to normal, was attached to the handle, and the "Dragon Slash" was carried on the right shoulder to take a forward tilt position.
If the "Neck Hunter" is taking an interceptor pose, that's where he wants it. I couldn't afford to spend any more time as a revulsion, but instead of just gripping the pattern of the "Dragon Slash", I put my strength into my hands.
At the same time, concentrate your magic as much as possible. Instinct becomes optimal while reason does not move like paralysis.
Like a squeezed bow, or like a bullet that pops out when you pull the trigger. Reurus puts strength and magic into his limbs.
――――
And I ran silently. To be precise, I left the sound behind.
With the momentum of kicking and breaking the ground, the distance that was nearly twenty meters open is packed in the blink of an eye - it actually sinks into the ground with a great deal of depression.
I don't suppose you had any intention of avoiding the "Head Hunt" either. Or did you not have enough room to do so, or did you rupture the space by watching the reels coming in?
At this time, Neck Hunting had two choices.
One is to create a crack in the position where the neck of the reus is bent, as it was the first time it was shown to be “broken”.
The other is to create a "Dragon Slash" in orbit and prevent it from being struck.
In the case of the former, the body of the Reurus moved and was about to be killed even after the neck was dropped - the "Head Hunt" prioritized the destruction and defense of the weapon.
--I 'm talking about something.
If only at this time, as the name suggests, you were obsessed with hunting and killing Reurus' neck. Or maybe there was a different conclusion.
However, the "neck hunt", which was overwhelmed by Reurus' “change” and behavior, was distracted by his defenses.
While connecting the reason that is about to disappear, Reus waves down the 'Dragon Slash'.
The blade is now swinging down from the face toward the rupture of space, confident that it will be slashed.
The scream rises from the right foot that stepped in. Blood sprays out from the neck that should have stopped. Nevertheless, Reurus was able to apply his magic to the Dragon Slash.
"--Ooooooooooooooo!"
The "Dragon Slasher" blade severs the distorted space. The flash never stops, reaching the "neck hunt" with claws on it.
─ ─ Kiki
I have no time to avoid it, nor can I accept it. Do you realize that? The "neck hunt" produces a small noise, and the body of nearly two meters is cut into pieces.
If it's an advanced monster, it's obviously a fatal wound, and it's probably slime who's alive “divided left and right”.
While feeding the swinging Dragon Slash into the ground, Reus kept an eye on the Neck Hunt. I am wary of the possibility of a counterattack from this situation, but the 'Neck Hunt', which has been cut in half, will not move.
Reurus stared at the immobilized 'Neck Hunt' for a few seconds, but made sure he was completely silenced - he fell down on the spot to faint.
