One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

"Damn it, hasn't the guild's backup arrived yet? How long do we have to wait?"

The giant claws of the Black Dragon descended from the sky with great power. The strong wind pressure stirred up the water splashes. The flames took advantage of the force and easily avoided the attack along the waves.

Then he turned his knife and slashed at the arm armor that was flashing with a faint light.

"clang!"

As expected, the knife bounced.

【Vajra Body】

This is the most disgusting ability of the Black Dragon, bar none.

When the Black Dragon enters this state, its already extremely hard shell will be further strengthened, and it can basically ignore all attacks.

It is indeed a shameless skill.

Of course, it is not without weaknesses in this state. There are three heat dissipation cores on its chest, shoulders, and tail, which are its weak points. If all are destroyed, its skill will be ineffective.

"Tsk, how come the fight is so similar to that of the Molten Dragon, except it's a little smaller."

Lieyan's gaze swept back and forth over the Black Dragon.

Forget about the shoulder. The Black Dragon is currently floating on the sea with half of its body raised high. If you want to attack that place, you either have to climb up or fly up.

It was impossible to climb, as the core at the shoulder was right next to the wings and the temperature was extremely high, making it unbearable even for him.

Fioraina was also busy with the core output to the chest, but the damage was not ideal. In addition, the Black Dragon was not a fool and would often lower his head and spit, affecting the output efficiency.

So after much thought, Lieyan could only choose to attack the core of the Black Dragon's tail.

It is called the tail, but the core is in a very awkward position.

The base of the tail, or you could say, the butt of the Black Dragon.

From time to time, some golden lava would flow out from near the core, like water running out.

A little disgusting.

"Ah, I never thought that a master hunter like me would poke the monster's butt like a rookie. It's embarrassing to tell others about it."

Lieyan sighed slightly, paddled hard with his legs, and shot out dozens of meters in the sea, barely avoiding the meteorite falling from the sky.

Honestly speaking, the Black Dragon's attacks are not difficult to dodge, and its desire to attack is not high, often launching an attack only every few minutes.

Much better than some ADHD monster.

But he couldn't stand it spraying meteorites continuously. God knows how the Black Dragon controlled those meteorites falling from the sky. They always hit him on the head but never hit itself.

The monsters' attack moves are mostly similar, pounce, tail smash, turn and sweep, dragon chariot, spit...

The Black Dragon was no exception, so Lieyan was able to deal with it relatively easily. He quickly swam under its body, near the base of its tail.

"..."

Looking at the huge heat dissipation core above his head, Lieyan remained silent, trying his best to empty his mind and not associate it with the anus.

I have to remain silent. I'm diving now, and I'll choke on water if I open my mouth.

He tightly gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand, cleared away all distracting thoughts, and his eyes became sharp under the flaming mask.

Straight cut, thrust, upward scoop, vertical cut...

The sword was slightly raised, and in just a moment, Lieyan used several basic sword moves, chopping on the core, leaving several tiny scars.

Although the core is the weakness of the Black Dragon, it is only relative. Its hardness is still extremely high. Through the feeling of the recoil, Lieyan can sense that the hardness of this core is definitely not lower than that of the Spinosaurus.

"Huh, as expected, this is an ancient dragon, an ancient dragon related to the black dragon. It is much stronger than ordinary dragons."

Although the last few strikes did not produce much success, Lieyan was not discouraged. After all, his goal had been achieved.

Looking at the 'qi' lingering on the blade, he swung the knife again.

The [Flowing Clouds and Light] with the 'Air' blade danced in the air with dazzling blade light, constantly passing through the core, leaving hideous wounds.

The life force that leaked out of the wound was completely absorbed by the blade and transformed into a stronger air blade.

White→Yellow→Red

In just a few breaths, before the Black Dragon could react, Lie Yan had completed the three stages of sharpening the blade.

"Roar!!!"

After being stabbed in the buttocks, the Black Dragon could no longer sit still. He raised his head and let out a piercing dragon roar, twisting his body, and his thick and slender tail swept towards the flames.

If the tail sweep of an ordinary monster is as terrifying as a steel whip, then the tail sweep of the Black Dragon is like a truck flying sideways. There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

Facing this attack, Lieyan's response was also very simple.

Relax your body and let the oncoming water carry you away.

Before the tail hit him, he had already quickly retreated from its attack range.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Using the water's force to counter the water's force and going with the flow are the essence of fighting in the water.

"How's it going? It's okay."

After the Black Dragon twisted its body and swung out its tail, Fioraina, who was attacking the core vital points on the other side, was also affected. She retreated far away along the water flow and merged with the flames.

"It's okay, just a little irritated."

In response to his wife's question, his face beneath the flaming mask softened a little and he shook his head.

He was right. The battle with the Black Dragon did make him very annoyed.

Before he could chop enough, he was swept away by the tail. Although he was not injured, it was very frustrating.

Of course, the more important reason might be that it is impossible to climb a dragon in the water, so he lost the opportunity to have a refreshing output experience when using the katana.

"Haha, you'll get used to it."

Hearing this, Fiorina chuckled.

She was fine and didn't have too much resistance.

Whether it is a spear or a single-handed weapon, stability is the main priority, and output is secondary.

Just as the two were about to continue talking, the sharp-eyed Lieyan saw an airship cutting through the sky and speeding towards them in the northwest direction.

"Huh, support is coming faster than expected."

The hull of the airship is painted with Dondorma's unique double dragon pattern, and its origin is self-evident.

"Well, I don't know who the two people are. I hope they are acquaintances."

Lieyan murmured, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

When hunters work together to hunt, coordination is important. Naturally, he hopes that the guild will send someone he knows over so that joint hunting will be easier.

However, just as he finished speaking, something strange happened.

The cabin at the head of the airship slowly opened, revealing a dark passage inside. Then, a thick dragon-killing gun protruded from inside.

"..."

"I have a bad feeling."

"Me too."

Seeing the new look of the airship, Lieyan and Fioraina looked at each other and felt that this scene looked a bit like déjà vu.

It was as if something similar had happened many years ago.
