Monster Hunter Gathering

Tanjiro's mother and his younger brothers and sisters all came out of the house and looked at Tanjiro with smiles on their faces.

"Our family is waiting for us!"

Chapter 115 Water Breathing Snow Demon Beast

"Hey!!"

Itsuzumi could now feel that something was wrong. The winged lion suddenly appeared, and then the surroundings began to change.

And those who suddenly appeared all had the scent of monsters on them.

Tanjiro also looked confused as he pulled the girl named Nezuko into the house.

"Hey!!! Those are monsters!!" Izutsumi grabbed Tanjiro's clothes and shouted.

But after Tanjiro looked back at Izuzumi, a peaceful smile appeared on his face: "Yeah... I know."

"I just... when I was living in my hometown with Zenitsu, Inosuke and the others, I couldn't help but think that if everyone was still alive, they would be happy to see Zenitsu and Inosuke." Tanjiro said this as he looked at his family who he had lost because of Muzan.

"The Grand Commander told me that if I became the Master of the Labyrinth, I wouldn't have to worry about so many things." Tanjiro said, looking at the familiar appearance of his home: "Just take a good rest."

"Although I know this is unreal and impossible, it is indeed what I want to see."

"Hey!"

Before Itsuzumi could say anything, she heard Tanjiro say to Yishi: "Mr. Yishi, can you take Miss Itsuzumi to the Grand Commander?"

As Tanjiro said this, his eyes were always looking towards his home.

Before Itsuzumi could stop Tanjiro or anything, a griffin swooped down from the sky, grabbed Itsuzumi's shoulders with its front claws, and flew up into the air.

Itsuzumi also saw Tanjiro and those guys who were obviously monsters entering the cabin together.

The winged lion also followed Tanjiro into Tanjiro's house. After entering the door, his tall body became much shorter, about the same height as Tanjiro, and his appearance was more like a teenager.

"Tanjiro."

Inside the house, a thin man with a pattern on his forehead was looking at Tanjiro with a gentle gaze and said, "God of Fire Kagura... You helped him fulfill his long-cherished wish."

"Welcome home, Tanjiro."

"Yeah." Tanjiro looked at the face of his long-deceased father and couldn't help but respond: "I'm back."

Tanjiro let down his guard and showed his desires to the winged lion without reservation.

As Tanjiro accepted this, Izutsumi in the air could vaguely see that many tall figures stood up near Tanjiro's house, among whom was a figure... very similar to the Namahage curse that had been cast on him before, and seemed to be holding a huge knife.

New monsters began to appear as Tanjiro became the master of the labyrinth.

..............................

"Laos, what you said, that these hunters came here to completely solve the problem of the demons... is that true?" Malushiel was still a little resistant to Nie Chiwu.

"That's right." Laos explained again, which made his companions feel a little relieved.

At least Laos tried to convince them that Nie Chiwu wasn't the kind of guy who wanted to destroy the world...

"Looking at the maze, it seems the maze master has begun to change." Senxi said as he looked at the maze that had changed a little around him: "I wonder who the new maze master will be."

"It should be Tanjiro."

Nie Chiwu said directly: "This style should be Tanjiro, no doubt. As expected, they chose Tanjiro, who has the lowest desire among us."

"The winged lion is right." Nie Chiwu smiled. "It really is planning to eat us hunters one by one."

"It seems like we're the delicacy that the winged lion left behind." Nie Chiwu said to Laos, "I just wonder what kind of monsters will appear in the maze because of Tanjiro."

"! Will there be new monsters?" Chilchak's eyes widened: "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

"Ahaha, it's okay. With Tanjiro's personality, there won't be any particularly dangerous monsters. After all, Tanjiro is still very gentle." Nie Chiwu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's hard to die in this maze anyway... Let's go help the people in the maze before we all become maze masters."

Just as Nie Chiwu was saying this, Izinjinmei, who was dropped from the sky by the griffin, made a loud noise. Malushiel looked up and saw Izinjinmei, her eyes widened in disbelief and she screamed, "Izinjinmei!!!!!!"

Along with Malusil's scream, the monsters that Malusil had created before, including a pterosaur, moved and caught the falling Itsuzumi.

After seeing Leosmalciel and the others, Itsuzumi looked embarrassed, but because of the protection of the Felyne equipment, she was not hurt.

But as soon as Yi Jinjinmei saw Nie Chiwu, she shouted, "Hey!!! You, the captain! Your companions have been tricked away by that strange lion!!!"

"He summoned a lot of weird things!" Itsuzumi said, furious. "I see a few of them have already gone to the underground level."

"Hey! It suddenly occurred to me..." Chilchak said, "The elves probably don't know yet that the Labyrinth Master has been replaced, right?"

"If those guys were attacked, they would definitely blame everything on Malushil! Then wouldn't we also be responsible?!" Chilchak widened his eyes.

"Looks like there's no time to hesitate!"

"Let's go! It's hunting time!!!" Nie Chiwu couldn't stop smiling: "Hunting... no! To help our friends!"

On the other side of Nie Chiwu's ambitious statement, Canary and the adventurers who were waiting impatiently suddenly heard some strange noises.

This voice was not like the voice of the monsters they had heard before. It was a low roar that made people tremble in their hearts.

Then, a huge monster that they had never seen before broke through the obstacles in the maze and rushed towards the people.

It was a huge and ugly monster, like a hairy ghost. Its body was covered with dense hair, and there were sharp blades growing on its arms. Its whole body was a glaring red.

A fang beast with the appearance of a Namahage...

Snow ghost beast!

The elves stared in shock at this monster, a creature they had never seen before, as it unleashed its swordplay on the people present like flowing water...

A Snowmon that can breathe water...

Chapter 116 Alas, the flaw is revealed, what is the fate of the violent snow ghost?

The people in the maze meal had no idea what the monster that appeared before them was.

It looks like a bear, but its limbs are too developed, and there is no hair on its limbs and face. Instead, it is covered with thick keratin, forming grooves. It is those grooves that fix the huge sword-shaped ice block in the Snow Ghost Beast's right hand.

The Snow Ghost Beast, which was walking upright and was injured and carrying an ice sword, looked like a disheveled ghost at this moment. It looked extremely terrifying. In just one encounter, the Snow Ghost Beast used the sword in its hand to cut off the bodies of many adventurers, dyeing the sword in its hand blood red.

"What kind of monster is this!?"

The monsters they had never seen before made the elves, who had the most knowledge and experience, panic.

Chimera? But it doesn't look like a Chimera at all...

If Nie Chiwu were here now, he would probably be happy to explain the origin of the Snow Ghost Beast to the elves.

A fang beast monster that lives in the ice and snow regions. First introduced in Monster Hunter Rise, it's a powerful monster that effectively fills the intermediate ecological niche between fang beasts, approaching the level of danger of flying dragons... It can condense into three forms: a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, and a hammer and a sword... It's even more skilled than Nie Chiwu himself in wielding a katana, dual swords, and a one-handed weapon...

And now this Snowmon is in an angry state. It has also learned to use the water breathing that Tanjiro is familiar with because of the winged lion.

This allowed the beast to cut through the loose formation of the adventurers with just one encounter.

"Don't let this monster move back and forth!!"

The elves made the decision first, and began to use magic to restrain and attack the snow ghost beast that appeared.

The opponent's movements were unexpectedly agile. If the Snow Ghost Beast continued to wreak havoc and weave through the crowd, the formation would soon be completely disrupted.

Patadlu quickly took over the command authority and began to try to gather the existing combat power to eliminate the unknown [monster] Snow Ghost Beast.

But just as the adventurers gradually formed a formation and resurrected those who had been killed, the remaining people began to fight against and stop the Snow Ghost Beast.

Patadlu suddenly felt a chill on her back. She looked up and found that the Snow Ghost Beast had been staring at her while she was giving orders. She was clearly standing in a relatively safe position, and the orders she gave were also conveyed by the elf through the familiar.

But the Snow Ghost Beast still clearly found her who was giving orders.

For some reason, Patadlu suddenly thought of the legend of the man-eating bear that was circulated in certain areas.

Bears are very clever creatures. They will even imitate people standing in the fog and waving, then lure people in and eat them.

Or there are stories like this: when hunters go into the mountains to hunt a man-eating bear, the bear appears in the village while the hunters are in the mountains and kills all the women and children in the village.

Bears are…very smart.

The snow monster looked very much like a bear, and Patadlu felt as if she was being watched.

The next moment, the snow ghost beast, whose one-handed ice sword was blocked, suddenly opened its big mouth full of ferocious fangs, and a cold breath came out of its mouth.

Just when the elves and adventurers thought the Snow Demon Beast was about to unleash some kind of ice attack and were about to dodge...

The snow ghost beast sprayed an ultra-low temperature liquid towards its other claw, which instantly solidified into ice, and a sharp ice blade condensed on its other arm.

Patadlu's pupils dilated as the Snow Demon Beast moved. The next moment, she instinctively grabbed the little fairy who was being used for command and wanted to give instructions, but the Snow Demon Beast was one step faster than her.

The two icy swords, accompanied by the explosive power brought by the breathing method, suddenly broke through the encirclement formed by the adventurers.

The violence displayed at that moment was even more brutal than the adventurers' impression of dragons.

The Snow Demon Beast had already broken through the defenses of the elves and adventurers and rushed towards Patadlu.

"Block! And magical attacks..."

Patadlu had reacted as quickly as she could, and had even released half of her magic, but...

The Snow Ghost Beast had already thrown the ice-shell sword in its hand heavily.

The huge block of ice killed several elves around Patadlu on the spot. Even Patadlu herself had her lungs pierced by the flying ice fragments. She knelt on the ground in pain, no longer having the strength to cast magic.

Patadlu, whose lung was pierced, could only look at the tall figure, but at this moment he seemed to have won the victory. He even slowed down his pace and walked towards him slowly.

Although she could clearly see the Snow Demon Beast closing in on her, Patadlu didn't even have the strength to move.

The fear at that moment was magnified to the maximum by the slow and unhurried movements of the Snow Ghost Beast. Patadlu could only watch as the Snow Ghost Beast's greatsword fell heavily, bringing death to herself.

Seeing that it seemed to have killed the commander, the Snow Ghost Beast seemed to show a satisfied expression.

"What's going on here?!"

Just when the adventurers suffered heavy losses due to the sudden attack of the Snow Demon Beast, a sound was heard at the edge of the battlefield. It was Kazuma's scream.

“Why has this place turned into an R-rated movie? Didn’t they say that Tanjiro is the master of the maze?! Why are there such bloody scenes here?!” Kazuma screamed.

And Kazuma's scream also attracted the attention of the Snow Demon Beast.

The Snow Ghost Beast noticed the four new people at a glance.

Three hunters in armor and a skinny elf...

The Snow Ghost Beast, which was endowed with a considerable degree of intelligence by the winged lion, immediately realized that these four people might be dangerous, so it turned around and attacked the four without hesitation.

"I've seen this before. It's the Fanged Beast that Nie Chiwu mentioned earlier... Did he actually teach Tanjiro about it?" Iwatani Naofumi immediately set up his heavy crossbow. "Wait, he seems to have introduced a different dragon to each of us under the pretext of understanding..."

"Sure enough, this is what he planned! That bastard captain!!!" Er Qiao also cursed, then turned to Mislen, who had temporarily joined their action and said: "Hey!!! If you can teleport, send me to the top of that snow ghost beast!!"

"Yeah." At this moment, there seemed to be a little more light in Mislen's eyes than before.

This is also the reason why he cooperated with the hunters. Before that, he drank a little bit of recovery medicine, which allowed him to restore some of his emotions and desires.

Mislen grabbed Er Qiao's wrist and prepared the teleportation technique: "One meter above your head, ready."

Chapter 117: Wherever He Passes, a Sea of ​​Fire - Cinder Blade Slays the Dragon

"Roar!!!!!!"

Facing the furious Snow Ghost Beast charging towards him, Er Qiao chose to face the challenge head-on and asked Mislen to teleport him directly to the back of the Snow Ghost Beast. He wanted to give the Snow Ghost Beast a back rub!

With the elf's teleportation, Er Qiao appeared directly above the Snow Demon Beast's head, the two swords in her hands had long been unsheathed, and her whole body began to spin. Once she hit the Snow Demon Beast, she would start to rub its back from head to toe... But...

Just when Qiao Er's double swords were about to touch the Snow Ghost Beast, the Snow Ghost Beast's ice sword directly hit Qiao Er in the air.

Qiao Zheng, who was originally full of confidence, immediately turned into a meteor, streaked across the heads of Kazuma and others, and was suddenly knocked dozens of meters away. He fell to the ground and fell into a brief coma. He is slowly recovering.

"Why would Tanjiro, such a gentle person, summon such a brutal monster!!!" Kazuma turned into a screaming painting.

Although Er Qiao did not succeed in rubbing the back, his actions did slow down the charge of the Snow Demon Beast.

"Is this a monster from your world?" Mislen's expression was a little serious.

The slight bit of emotion that came back allowed Mislen to feel how terrible the Snow Ghost Beast was.

Now the Snow Ghost Beast's attention is all on these people. Those who were killed by the Snow Ghost Beast before are now being resurrected in a hurry.

"I guess so. I remember hearing a little about it before. It's called the Snow Demon Beast." Iwaya Naofumi's expression was particularly serious. "Although this one doesn't look very strong, it's very difficult to deal with..."

"I can still fight!"
