Chapter 1218 - 1196: Slaying
Now the problem is that during the previous battle with Lann, the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s body’s metabolism was forced to this extent, and it is about to collapse no matter what.
It is bound to die; even if not killed, it will consume itself to death with its overly powerful body.
But dying alone in the wilderness is still dying.
Smelling its way into a populated area in the Ponta River Valley and eating most of the inhabitants before smashing everything to bits and then consuming itself to death is also dying.
The Tyrannosaurus’s madness will certainly not be restrained just because it’s about to die; on the contrary... it has become even more terrifying!
"Roar!!!"
It pressed its head against the ground and charged straight ahead!
The mouth of the Terror Tyrannosaurus was still chewing on the remnants at the tip of its own tail!
The ground, mostly hard rock, was churned into something like fine sand under its crushing, plowed into hideous ravines with ease.
The Demon Hunter placed his greatsword horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive stance.
At the same time, a fighting spirit light flame erupted from the greatsword!
"Boom!"
[Spear Technique·Enhanced Defense]!
The [Spear] of the New Continent Hunter is actually a combination of spear and shield, the strongest defensive specialized weapon among the fourteen hunting weapons.
It focuses on being a ’fortress’ and ’defensive counterattack’.
The best among the users of this hunting weapon can even face the strongest attacks of the Ancient Dragons with the defensive performance of their equipment and their combat skills!
But even though Lann used such a technique, he still felt a shock!
"Its body’s metabolism... is still strengthening!"
The jagged teeth of the Tyrannosaurus pressed against the face of Lann’s greatsword, erupting in a sound like the chime of a church’s evening bell, accompanied by a glaring circle of sparks!
The expanded muscles on the Terror Tyrannosaurus were now faintly emitting a burning glow, akin to fire.
And not just confined to its strongest neck and back muscles!
In the situation where its overly powerful body was already consuming it to death, instead of suppressing its body, it was going all out!
This is unimaginable for normal creatures, it’s like suicide.
But for the Terror Tyrannosaurus... not eating enough is because it’s not strong enough! Still not full after getting stronger, then it’s still not strong enough!
No other reason! No other possibility!
They never compromise with the environment, nor with food!
This species, maddened by appetite, has trapped itself in this logic loop.
They have been trapped in it from the genetic level.
Lann kept the defensive stance for unloading force, but unexpectedly, he was directly sent flying by the Tyrannosaurus’s upper jaw!
Like a rag doll, he was sent hurtling toward a rock twenty meters off the ground!
The height of the rock was just over twenty meters, and the straight distance from the battlefield earlier was at least close to a hundred meters!
Lann began to switch the [Light Body Breathing Technique] as soon as his feet left the ground uncontrollably.
But even so, he was still controlling his body posture so that when his feet contacted the rock.
The muscles on his thighs twisted like a tightened winch, bones and joints were locked, and the [Tendon Coil] covering his tendons locked tightly!
In a sound of "Kaka lala," the area of rock where the Demon Hunter landed exploded into a web-like crack and sunk in.
But before Lann could fall with gravity, a massive figure glowing with a scorching red light came crashing toward his position!
"Roar!"
"Boom!!!"
The Terror Tyrannosaurus roared furiously, its body crushed the entire rock and, without pause, continued to push Lann even farther!
In just the blink of an eye, the massive body size and raging power of the Tyrannosaurus had expanded the battlefield far and wide.
Just now it was confined to this ’small’ place for it to engage because the Fog Demons had wiped out every creature within the zone, which took time.
And now, feeling no new contents entering its stomach, it naturally no longer restrains its range of movement.
Under the vast and bright moonlight, in the rocky, rugged, and lush Ponta River Valley.
A terrifying and ferocious giant beast leapt into the air!
It ravagingly crushed terrains, vegetation, and creatures along the path... where its powerful muscles tore through, nothing could stop it!
Landforms and rocks were crushed and scattered, the forest was plowed into a wide, open space!
The explosive and terrifying destructive force made a shocking noise.
The animals still alive started to flee madly outward.
Without the magical white mist, the Tyrannosaurus’s frenzied and hysterical roar spread far along the winding Ponta River Valley, twisting into distinct echoes in the distance.
The wild clash between Lann and the Terror Tyrannosaurus also led to their battlefield rapidly shifting toward the depths of the Ponta River Valley due to the unrestrained movements of the Tyrannosaurus.
Every assault launched by the Tyrannosaurus could clear a hundred meters through the mountains in a leap!
And Lann, being relentlessly entangled with it, was also involuntarily dragged far away.
Soon, on the Ponta River in the valley, the river’s flow began to slow.
And the sharp senses of the Demon Hunter began to catch signs of domestic waste and the smell of rancid grease on the slow-flowing river water.
This indicates a still-water area nearby, and it’s not far from the human settlement.
Judging by the position, it should be the floating dock established by Temeria.
And this also simultaneously indicates... "No more delay!"
With a greatsword in hand, Lann blocked a head-turning bite from the Tyrannosaurus with his sword’s broad blade, but was once again sent flying off.
Yet in mid-air, with mechanical clanking, a hook from the projector seized a large crack just cut open on the Tyrannosaurus’s body, hauling Lann back to it.
Not giving the Tyrannosaurus a chance to create a fighting distance.
[Muddy Stream·Destruction] was embedded in its dark green scaled skin in the process.
Making a "Puch" sound, juicy and sloppy.
Yet still, only a trivial amount of [Dragon Attribute Energy] erupted from the blade.
While physically assessing, [Muddy Stream·Destruction] stands as an exceedingly superb piece at the top-notch level.
But firstly, the Tyrannosaurus boasts an immensely robust physique; secondly, it maintains a semi-spiritual state now.
Both factors substantially diminished the physical damages [Muddy Stream·Destruction] could inflict on it.
Excluding the physical nature of damage, even the [Dragon Attribute Energy] and natural thunder seem ineffective against it.
To stop the Tyrannosaurus from entering the floating dock area, consuming the people there, and devastating the town cleanly, it demands the force of restraint to seal the deal!
But he doesn’t have any [Gold Pine Resin] at hand now!
[Curse Technique]? The Terror Tyrannosaurus shows no special reaction to fire.
If Rita were here now, an [Alzur’s Thunder] would be great.
Tishaya is too exhausted by dispelling curses, and Triss’s level is much lower than theirs; even joining the magic ritual to sustain the typhoon for this long is already tiring.
Only Margaret might still have some strength left now.
But the Terror Tyrannosaurus moved too fast just now.
In mere minutes, it shifted the battlefield kilometers away!
In the complex magic environment and terrain of the Mahakan Mountains, no one dares to frequently use teleportation techniques; Margaret might have to run to get here.
It’s certain she won’t catch up now.
Ultimately... all he can rely on is himself!
"Boom!!!"
The Terror Tyrannosaurus raised its stout right leg, tilting its body.
"Roar!!!"
It roared wildly, stomping its raised right leg heavily! Trying to shake Lann off with the vibration of its body.
The entire mountain top trembled from the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s stomp!
Near the Ponta River, some unstable rocks shattered and fell into the river, creating huge splashes.
But immediately after, the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s right leg seemed to step into a hollow space, causing a large-scale collapse, sinking its two legs and large portion of its tail.
This was a relic abandoned by elves, built into the mountain.
Huge stone blocks fused with mountain rocks, covered in vegetation from time, indistinguishable.
Lann only recognized it from glimpsing a statue.
A marble statue beautifully depicting the source of Ancient Blood, Laura Doron and Craignan’s tragic separation in life and death.
The brief sinking didn’t alarm the Terror Tyrannosaurus, though its balance did waver from the accident.
However, its mental and physical state at this moment wouldn’t allow it to feel ’panic’.
It was only frenzied, only thinking of eating!
And Lann took advantage of this moment to leap from the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s back to its head!
Either way, he felt he couldn’t drag things out any longer.
"Lightning..."
The burning red light on the neck and back of the Terror Tyrannosaurus from below scorched Lann’s exposed skin.
The Demon Hunter murmured.
He needed lightning with supernatural power to end this Terror Tyrannosaurus, which grew more frenzied as it neared death.
He no longer had any [Gold Pine Resin] from Dragon Hunting Realm—Losric.
But he did acquire a spell during his adventure in the Flame World, a [Miracle].
It was an unexpected find in Ilyushil’s underground prison, discovered en route to the Ancient Dragon Peak.
[Miracle·Lightning Sword]!
It documented stories created by Dragon Hunter Knights during the era of hunting Immortal Ancient Dragons.
By chanting these stories, weapons could entwine with golden lightning for dragon-slaying.
The teacher of Curse Technique, Comicus, said Lann had good talent and aptitude in magic.
But it was unsure if he could meet the miracle’s requirements.
On the other hand, Lann was uncertain if Flame World’s spells required catalysts.
For example, curse techniques needed [Curse Fire], magic required a magic staff, miracles needed a holy bell or amulet.
He had none of these.
Yet at this moment, strangely... he felt he could actually manage it.
He’s got to try.
And even if it fails, he’s directly overhead of the Terror Tyrannosaurus; failing the spell still means a direct strike, not wasting the chance of its misstep and unbalanced posture revealing an opening.
Hence, the Terror Tyrannosaurus struggled up amidst the red muscle glow and black smoke of dragon attribute energy, roaring.
Atop its head, a Demon Hunter holding a greatsword stood, bright moonlight casting on his silver hair.
The Demon Hunter’s handsome lips moved quickly, chanting a brief, powerful story.
That story spoke of the might of Ancient Dragons and the swordsmen who dared draw their swords against them.
Then, in a slightly incredulous look on Lann’s face...
"Zzzzz rrrr~"
On the broad, thick blade of the [Muddy Stream·Destruction], golden electric light began to appear seemingly out of nowhere, making a chaotic electrical sound.
His moment of daze only lasted a second!
The next moment... "Boom!"
Fighting Spirit ignited!
Pale red Fighting Spirit enveloped the greatsword sparkling with golden electricity! Directly swinging at the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s skull!
The controlled power showcased an evident increase in killing efficiency.
The Terror Tyrannosaurus’ tense, powerful muscles spasmed irregularly under the electric currents, dispersing its defense.
The sword blade filled with ’zzz’ sounds fiercely drove in!
"Clang!!!"
The two-meter-long blade of the [Muddy Stream·Destruction], slanted downward, leaving less than twenty centimeters visible outside the muscles.
The rest of the blade entirely hacked into the skull of the Terror Tyrannosaurus!
Flesh and bone shattered, crushed, torn!
Golden electricity continued to crackle.
Under the expansive moonlight, the frenzied beast suddenly stiffened.
Eternal hunger, boundless appetite, limitless metabolic speed—all ended in the face of death.
The Terror Tyrannosaurus’s muscles began to relax, retract, the heat light emanating from them cooling down...
Its dim yellow eyes finally lost all the frenzied and painful gleam.
