Monster Hunter Gathering

Kazuma squatted there and began to mutter, but Lucy finally spoke first: "Why do you know David?! How...why are you staying with this Arasaka heir? Are you two in the same group?"

"besides……"

Lucy looked behind the others and felt a little scared.

Because at this moment, on the floor behind them, the old man with the highest status in Night City had completely lost his breath and was lying on the floor... like a pile of rotten meat, just like the countless corpses on the streets of Night City.

Lucy didn't expect Saburo Arasaka to die so casually, nor did she think that his son and daughter would be in this room now.

"I..." Just as Arasaka Yorinobu was about to chat more with the girl David liked, Kazuma suddenly stood up from the floor: "There's no time for a long explanation at this time! Let me do it!"

"Listen up! David is a companion of us Hunters! And we were the ones who asked Roger to introduce David to your team! This is Arasaka Yoshinobu! He's on David's side! He just killed Arasaka Saburo! The unconscious one over there is Arasaka Hanako! She's not on our side! So we're going to kidnap her later! This is V, she's a mercenary, and she's on the same side as us Hunters!"

Kazuma explained the relationships between everyone present to Lucy in one go to avoid any further trouble: "And why are you here?! Didn't Naofumi come to protect you?! Why did you come here to assassinate Saburo Arasaka?!"

"Protect us...?" Lucy looked a little confused.

"That's right! David ran to save you, and then fought Adam Heavy Hammer to the death. In order to protect his important people, one of our people went to help... Why are you here?" Kazuma grabbed his hair in despair: "Aren't all the problems now placed on me?"

"She's worthy of being the girl David likes." Lai Xuan looked at Lucy with some admiration.

I was able to find this place because I've been with Saburo for so many years and understand his ways. This, combined with my understanding of Night City and various other factors, allowed me to lead Kazuma and V here, while Lucy actually found this place all by herself...

"You know about David and Adam Hammer!" Lucy's eyes widened. "Then why did you let David go alone... That's Adam Hammer!"

“That’s just Adam’s Hammer!” Kazuma said immediately, “Among us hunters alone, there are seven who can easily take him out!! No kidding!”

"Mr. Kazuma, I can get rid of Adam's hammer in one go! Do you understand what sweat and hard work are?" Kazuma shouted directly.

Lucy really didn't know that Kazuma wasn't joking.

Among the current ten hunters, except for the newcomers Shirou, Yangle, and David... the others are all people who can easily deal with Adam's hammer, and each has his own way.

For example, Kazuma can even steal all the parts of Adam's Hammer as soon as they meet... His luck is so good that he can even pull the head of the Demon King's Army cadre, the Dullahan, out of his hands, let alone just an Adam's Hammer.

"Hey."

V interrupted their conversation at this time and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. It seems that Arasaka Corporation has discovered what's going on here. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise we will really be stuck."

"Maybe I can explain it directly based on my identity?" Arasaka Yorinobu suggested.

"No, the people at Arasaka Corporation are not idiots, and Arasaka Hanako is here. If they find out you killed Saburo, we'll be in big trouble." V turned to look at Lucy. "You're a hacker, right? Can you destroy all the systems here? It would be best if you could burn down the entire villa as well."

"It's possible, but there will definitely be some residue..." Lucy nodded. "The system here is independent, but it's Arasaka technology after all, so it won't be so easy to solve..."

"That's all we can do. We probably don't have much time left." V frowned. "The next step is to find a way to leave here... and we have to take this woman with us."

"..." Arasaka Yorinobu also began to think carefully about whether there was any way to ask for help from the guys from Arasaka Company who were about to arrive here.

Then, Kazuma raised his hand: "This, we hunters have already planned it..."

"Hmm?" Lai Xuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

“To put it simply, it’s our hunter’s magical little pterosaur or magical kinsin…” Kazuma said, “And I also have a solution to the remaining problem of that system…”

Five minutes later, at an airport on the roof of the villa, Kazuma was ready to depart.

"Can we really leave like this?" V looked at the postures of the few people at this time and fell into confusion.

At this moment, the unconscious Hanako was lying on Kazuma's back, with his right hand held by V, while V was holding Lucy with his other hand.

Arasaka Yorinobu was holding Kazuma's waist on Kazuma's left side, and Kazuma's legs were holding the unconscious Takemura Goro.

Several people were hanging on Kazuma in a rather twisted and awkward posture.

"That's the only way! Stop picking!" Kazuma shouted, "Listen up! As soon as we start, Lucy, you open fire!"

As Kazuma said this, he used his left hand, the only free hand he had to use to hang the pterosaur, to summon the pterosaur that would lead the hunter back to the camp.

The pterosaur arrived above the people almost in the blink of an eye, and its equipment was hooked by Kazuma's catapult. Its small body directly carried several people into the air.

At the moment when several people flew up, Lucy, the only one with free hands, fired a gun at the pool of gasoline below.

Chapter 257 The Real Heroine and the Jealous Kazuma

A huge flame formed a line from the scattered gasoline and burned directly towards the two barrels of explosives that Kazuma had placed down, which looked like they could at least hold two people.

Before leaving, V, Lucy, and Arasaka Yorinobu only saw a huge explosion in the villa area behind them, and the entire house was reduced to ruins...

"I think your hacking skills are definitely not orthodox." V said with a curse.

"This is not hacking technology at all!" said Lucy, the serious former Arasaka hacker.

As for Arasaka Yorinobu, who was watching his bastard father's body turn to ashes in the explosion, he felt that the explosion of the explosives was too good.

At this moment, seeing that the Kirin they were chasing had already run to the vicinity of Arasaka Tower and caused a lot of damage along the way, Nie Chiwu and others suddenly received a message from Kazuma.

Then, Nie Chiwu was scolded by He Zhen with great anger: "Nie Chiwu! Don't you feel any pain? You push all the troubles onto me! Why did Lucy come to me?!!!!!"

"Huh?" Nie Chiwu's eyes lit up. "Lucy? Didn't Lucy leave with David, protected by Shangwen?"

"Huh?" Shang Wen also jumped out of Nie Chiwu's doubts: "Didn't Lucy get knocked unconscious by Mann and the others, and then taken to the Next Life Bar by Falco and Qiwei? I was protecting Mann and the others, weren't I?"

"What?!!!!!" Nie Chiwu let out a sharp explosion, proving that he wasn't pure enough. "What?! My plan went wrong again?"

"Stop shouting! So what should we do now?" Kazuma shouted, "Lucy wants to help David now... and Arasaka Saburo is already dead, what are you going to do with the mikoshi?"

"You and me..." Nie Chiwu glanced at the Qilin who was jumping on the roof near Arasaka Tower, and then watched the Qilin climb directly to the top along the outer wall of Arasaka Tower with the help of electricity, and his brain began to work frantically.

At this moment, a message popped up in the hunters' collective channel.

Xin Meier: "I have dealt with all the monsters here. The villagers are thanking me now. I... will be there in half an hour."

Xin Meir's words injected the final bit of decision into Nie Chiwu's mind.

"Er Qiao! Head straight to the top of the tower!" Nie Chiwu shouted, "Our chance to fight the Ancient Dragon has arrived! Tianzun is here to protect us today!"

"Let's just give the shrine a big blast! Just like what Er Qiao wrote!" Nie Chiwu clenched his fists: "Everyone is ready!"

"Hello! Hello?" Kazuma originally wanted to ask himself what to do with Lucy.

Lucy was now in the camp, looking at the sky outside which was becoming particularly dark as night gradually approached and due to thunderclouds, and she felt very uneasy.

"David...why did he go alone to challenge Adam Hammer?" Lucy clenched her fists.

She is now a little confused as to why all this happened.

David's secrets, why David liked her, why David joined Mann's team, and many other things... Lucy didn't know any of this.

But when Lucy thought about David fighting desperately with Adam's hammer, she felt a little painful.

"Can't you... stop Adam's hammer?" Lucy looked at Arasaka Yorinobu.

But Arasaka Yorinobu shook his head: "Even if it were possible, David probably wouldn't be willing."

During the time when Arasaka Yorinobu and David had been chatting, David had already explained everything about himself.

For David, Adam Hammer is an opponent he must challenge, and it is also the first step for David to embark on his own path.

No matter how many things David can do in the future, Adam's hammer... is the opponent that can only help David resolve his problem if he is dealt with now.

"David..."

Lucy bit her lip, then stood up and tried to leave the base, but was stopped by Kazuma: "What are you doing!?"

"I want to think of a way to help David," Lucy said. "I'm sure I can do something."

"If you go now, David will hate me!" Kazuma said anxiously, "It's too dangerous!"

"I know I may not be able to help David in the battle, but I really can't just leave David alone. If I do that, David... will be too lonely."

"He can't always do those things alone." Lucy said anxiously: "He..."

"...I don't want him to go on like this. He should have a better choice." Lucy covered her face and stopped talking.

Lucy's appearance caused the entire camp to fall silent.

Kazuma also had a troubled expression on his face.

And the way Kazuma looked at Lucy now was really blushing—towards David.

Damn it! Mr. Kazuma is clearly a protagonist too! Why isn't there a heroine like him by his side?! This must be the world's malice! That's right! He must have been cursed by the entire world ever since he brought Aqua to the other world!!!

"It's so annoying!! Why does everything fall on Mr. Kazuma?!!!" Kazuma grabbed his hair in annoyance, then disappeared from the camp and returned to the hunters' base.

Just when Lucy thought Kazuma had rejected her request and her expression became increasingly gloomy, Kazuma suddenly returned to the camp from the base.

"Alright! Go ahead!" Kazuma made way for Lucy. "Damn it! That damned David! I must make him work for me in my world! And then treat me to some delicious bubbly wine..."

"Really?" Lucy showed a surprised expression, and then without too much hesitation, she ran out of the base directly, ready to find David to see if she could help.

Arasaka Yorinobu was a little anxious: "Is it really okay for her to go out like this? Adam Hammer will not show mercy..."

"What can I do? She's already said that! And she's right!" Kazuma also said the same thing: "So I can only think of a way!"

Kazuma said sadly, "Damn it, the other hunters are all more pretentious than the last..."

"What did you...come up with?" V narrowed his eyes. "What did you do when you disappeared just now?"

"Of course I'll kneel down and beg the cat lady!" Kazuma said indignantly and confidently, "Please ask her to let Lucy be David's receptionist! I, Sato Kazuma, am a true gentleman! How can I just leave a girl crying and do nothing?"

Chapter 258 David's Hunting Death Battle

Lucy had no idea at this moment what had happened to her.

All she knew now was that Kazuma had suddenly let her go out to help David after he had just suddenly disappeared and reappeared.

Kazuma in the room also heard what Naofumi Iwatani said. He knocked Mann and others unconscious and put them in a safe place, while Naofumi Iwatani himself was preparing to go to the battlefield on Arasaka Tower.

At this moment, David had no time to pay attention to the communication between other hunters in the assembly voice. His battle with Adam Hammer had reached a fierce point.

The two men were flying over Night City almost without touching the ground, and David was using almost all of his energy to control the gun.

The dragon-shot cannon rifle in his left hand almost single-handedly took on all of David's movements and attacks, which made David feel that his wrist was about to be broken by the recoil of the rifle's firing.

Or it may have been broken several times, but was repaired by the super recovery power of Muzan's suit.

The painful feeling brought by the continuous destruction of his body left David with no time to think about many other things.

For example, David had no idea where he and Adam Hammer were fighting in the wound of Night City, or how long the two had been fighting.

David only knew that he could only force himself to maintain that Swansea-like state, otherwise Adam's hammer would directly smash his entire head into pieces with cannonballs and shotguns in the next moment.

As their bodies passed over the rooftop, Adam's hammer's rocket slashed past the rooftop water tank, tearing the rusted steel apart like paper. David, riding the blast wave, slid backward, his rifle shield ploughing sparks into the concrete. A holographic billboard behind him played an ad for Arasaka's prosthetics, and then David landed on a nearby observation deck.

"Go to hell, kid!" Adam Hammer took this opportunity to open the prosthetic body behind him. The micro-missile cabin behind him unfolded like a poisonous bee flapping its wings, and a large number of honeycomb missiles flew directly towards David who had just landed on the roof.

David stared intently at the flying honeycomb missiles. The hot gun barrel in his left hand pierced into the tempered glass under his feet, and the diffusion-type shells made a muffled sound in the interlayer - the entire viewing platform suddenly turned into countless glass fragments.

"Complete explosion!"

The remaining few dragon-shot bullets David had fired out of his rifle almost instantly, causing a violent explosion that transformed the shards of tempered glass in the air into countless bullets that shot violently in all directions.

The broken glass fragments forced the honeycomb missiles to explode in the air, causing more broken glass fragments to be shot in all directions in irregular shapes.

Adam Heavy Hammer was forced to cover his artificial eye, and David, in the short time of falling from the observation platform, used his heel to force the Dragon Strike shell into the hot gunpowder in the air to complete the loading, and then aimed the gunpowder at his feet again, charged up and activated the blast charge to bounce back into the sky.

After Adam Hammer used his arms to sweep away the glass fragments that affected his vision, he looked down to find David, but he did not see David falling. Adam Hammer realized something and suddenly raised his head, and saw David with a somewhat ferocious expression falling towards him from above.

The gunsmith hunter wearing leather armor has now come close to Adam's hammer, using the impact of his body to press Adam's hammer to the ground. At the same time, David also pressed the gunsmith's hammer hard against Adam's body.

"die……"

Before David could roar in anger, his jaw was shattered by the gun in Adam's Hammer's hand, leaving only his tongue hanging from the remaining upper jaw and throat.

The tip of David's gun was also pushed a little off by Adam's hammer that had activated Sian Westin, causing the impact force to be deflected a lot.

The powerful dragon-strike cannon completely destroyed Adam's heavy hammer's shoulder armor, and the two men fell from a high altitude onto a small house that was only about four or five stories high. The huge impact force caused the two men to smash several layers of reinforced floors and ceilings in an instant, and fell directly to the bottom floor of the building.

David's jaw began to recover rapidly under the effect of super recovery force, which made David want to pierce Adam Hammer's body with his rifle and directly shoot the dragon bullet into Adam Hammer's body. However, Adam Hammer's rich combat experience had made him aware of David's intention. After forcibly lifting David's body away, he grabbed one of David's calves with his mechanical arm and directly swung David up and smashed him back and forth on the ground.

The huge feeling of dizziness almost overwhelmed David's brain, but David quickly adapted to the situation and wanted to fight back, but Adam's hammer had already thrown David out the moment David wanted to fight back, and was not going to give David any chance.

The next moment, Adam used a heavy hammer to pull out various steel bars from the surrounding buildings, nailing David directly to the wall, making it difficult for David to struggle to break free from the steel bars that had completely pierced his body.

The gap in experience... David now understands why Adam Hammer is a legend among legends in Night City.

That terrifying prosthetic body is only one of the factors that make him a legend. Adam Heavy Hammer's equally terrifying fighting skills are the most important factor that makes him a legend.

"Boy, you're just a rookie who suddenly became a bit skilled!" Adam pressed David against the wall with a heavy hammer. With his other hand, he ejected a thermal blade from his weapon and pointed it at David: "If it weren't for these weird things, you wouldn't even be worthy of standing in front of me!"

"Hehe...hehe..." David laughed after hearing what Adam Chongchui said.

"Hmm?" Adam's heavy hammer's thermal energy knife stopped for a moment. It did not directly pierce David's throat, but was looking for a better angle, preparing to completely destroy David's brain.
