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

"Phew, I'm so tired. It took me two days to hunt a blue bear beast. I worked so hard for it."

Wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, Link sighed.

On the side, Matsutake, who had been carrying Link on his back for two days, rolled his eyes.

"Diao Mao, you are not tired at all, I am the one who is running all the time."

After stuffing two anesthetic balls into the Blue Bear Beast that were enough to kill humans, the mission was completed, and it was time for Link's favorite part of watching the show.

Beautiful lady fights against Kappa frog.

The Kappa Frog, which suffered a head injury, had blurred vision, giving Phyllis precious time to attack.

The girl's two knives were almost bent due to the chopping.

The Poison Dog Dragon King is a two-star monster. The blade made from its bones and melted birdstone is quite sharp, but it is a bit stretched when facing the three-star Kappa Frog.

After almost two minutes of chopping, Phyllis was about to run out of the attack range of the Kappa Frog and look for an opportunity to take out the whetstone to sharpen the blade.

Otherwise, the blade will become less sharp and won't even be able to cut through the skin of the kappa frog.

Unlike the slender and poorly built sickle-weasel dragon king, thanks to the huge size of the kappa frog, this guy is still full of energy even if he is poisoned. Every move he makes will create huge splashes of water, leaving bumps on the riverbed.

The bastard even eats fish to regain his strength.

Whenever Phyllis was sharpening her knife, this guy would use his shovel-like duck bill to plow the bottom of the water and swallow the mud, sand, and some small fish and shrimps into his stomach.

The gravel and stream water that it swallows not only helps it grind the food in its stomach and aids digestion, but also makes its stomach swell like air, further increasing its body size and weight.

This is also one of its means of fighting against the enemy.

His swollen abdominal muscles glowed bronze in the sun, and were as taut as balloons about to burst.

Although it looked so soft that it seemed to break at the slightest touch, the only marks left on it by Phyllis's sharp swords were a few white marks, as if mocking her powerlessness.

The girl was so angry that she clenched her teeth, clenched her swords with both hands, looked up to the sky and roared, causing the water to splash everywhere.

"Drink!!!"

As the roar sounded, amazing changes occurred on Phyllis' body. Unlike the blood and energy that wrapped around her before, which made her a ghost, an enchanting purple flame burned and covered her curvy upper body.

A purple-black wolf mask formed by flames also covered her cheek, and a dangerous cold light flashed in the wolf's eyes.

"Fuck, this is so cool, why didn't Instructor Ni Tai teach me this move?"

Link, who was watching the show, was shocked. The Fireball Physalis he was stuffing into his mouth fell to the ground, giving a chance to the Matsutake who was waiting beside him.

As for the Instructor Ni Tai he mentioned, he was the mentor who taught him hunting skills. It is said that his step-father was also trained by Instructor Ni Tai, so strictly speaking he should be called his master.

If Link knew that the dual swords had such cool transformation moves, he would never have played with the heavy crossbow and would have changed his job to become a dual swordsman long ago.

Too handsome, isn't it?

Of course, Link didn't know. It wasn't that the instructor didn't want to teach, but that he didn't know how to do it.

Phyllis's move, called [Beast Soul Possession: Hungry Wolf], is a special hunting skill for the hunters of the Dragon Calendar Academy and is not passed on to outsiders. Only those who join the Dragon Calendar Academy and make certain contributions are qualified to learn it.

As Phyllis used her hunting skills, the Kappa Frog felt threatened for the first time. Its originally relaxed expression became tense, and it quickly adjusted its body to prepare for Phyllis' attack.

Phyllis's body became more flexible as she was wrapped in purple flames. She jumped up lightly, and her two swords drew a graceful arc in the air, heading straight for the Kappa Frog.

The Kappa frog tried to dodge, but Phyllis was too fast for it to avoid completely. The two knives slashed across its abdomen, cutting open the belly that had originally been unbreakable, leaving two deep wounds. The blood immediately dyed the stream red.

"The power has increased."

Seeing this, Link touched his chin and guessed the effect of Phyllis's transformation. Obviously, this was a technique to increase strength, allowing the agile dual-sword user to have strength comparable to that of a katana or even a broadsword user.

Use increased strength to break through the opponent's defense.

The kappa frog struggled in pain, its huge body tumbling in the stream, splashing water, but it was not willing to die in Phyllis's hands. It straightened its fat belly and used its hind legs to charge like a sumo wrestler.

Water splashed everywhere. Although the Kappa Frog was huge, it was not slow. It was obvious that it wanted to crush Phyllis to death with its weight.

However, facing the oncoming monster, Phyllis not only did not dodge, but instead revealed a confident smile and assumed a posture that Link was very familiar with.

She leaned back with two swords in front of her, and threw herself out in a strange posture.

Phyllis jumped into the air, twisted her waist, and spun at high speed. The two knives were closed above her head. While spinning at high speed, they were like sharp drills, aiming at the belly of the kappa frog and cutting frantically.

“Puff! Puff! Puff…”

Accompanied by countless dull sounds and as the two knives cut, the Kappa Frog's charging momentum stopped in pain. Not only that, it was still retreating frantically, trying to get rid of the attack.

But, until the end, it did not succeed. As its stomach and the organ inside it called the water bag were pierced by two knives, the blood dyed the stream red. The sand and stream water in its stomach all flowed out. The Kappa frog's bulging belly deflated, and its huge body lay limply in the water.

Phyllis stood beside the body of the kappa frog, gasping for breath. Her clothes were soaked by the river water and her hair was stuck to her face.

"I won."

Looking at the Kappa frog's pupils which were losing their light and gradually dilating, Phyllis whispered.

"Congratulations."

Link's voice came from the river, applauding her. This battle was more exciting than the previous battle with the Kamaitachi Dragon King. In the battle with the Kamaitachi Dragon King, Phyllis did not use any amazing moves, and ended the battle by turning into a demon and moving around.

However, when facing a strong enemy like the Kappa Frog, it was obviously not enough, so he had to use his trump card.

The move that finally put an end to the Kappa Frog is called Spiral Slash, and it is one of the strongest moves of the Dual Blade Hunter.

Link had learned this move before, but it was a little different.

The Spiral Slash that Link learned from his instructor requires him to throw the Kinsect towards the monster and use the pulling force of the Kinsect to perform it.

But Phyllis pulled off this move with just her skill, and it was apparently one of the Dragon Calendar Institute's secret treasures.

The sun gradually set, and the traces of battle in the stream were gradually washed away. The battle was over. Link took out the flare and called the Felynn logistics team to ask them to carry the bodies of the captured Blue Bear and Kappa Frog back to Flame Village.

Of course, Link did not forget his share of the reward. He cut off the most delicious front leg from the kappa frog. Unlike ordinary frogs, the kappa frog's front legs are more developed than its hind legs, and the meat is more tender and delicious.

If you can't eat the stir-fried ghost frog, it's the same to eat the kappa frog. Anyway, both are three-star monsters and belong to the same amphibian species, so they are almost the same.
