Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests!

Chapter 62 Utter Madness!

The collision between the Nergigante chariot and Chen Yan, the extreme power and extraordinary skill of the collision, triggered an energy surge that nearly shattered the volcano.

He took the blow squarely, and the energy stored in the blade poured out, as if he had been washed by an inverted furnace.

Its entire head was covered in crimson, and half of its body was thoroughly licked by the flames. The thorns on its body were a mixture of black, purple, and red, making it look even more ferocious.

In the stalemate, Chen Yan's blood-red blade slowly cut into the black and white boundary of its curved horn. He pressed down with all his might, but the hardness of the Extinction Dragon's horn was truly astonishing. Until Chen Yan exhausted his strength, he was still just a hair's breadth away from completely shattering its horn.

Just a tiny bit.

However, Nergigante's tenacity far surpasses that of Chen Yan, who has been using his life-saving power to unleash his full potential.

Despite the lingering force of the slash, He used his hind legs to lift His upper body little by little. Looking at Chen Yan in front of Him, a few traces of cruelty flashed in His vertical pupils. He shook His head back and forth, staring intently at Chen Yan, who was hanging from His horn and swinging back and forth.

He said nothing, but it was as if he said everything.

Facing Chen Yan, who was struggling to maintain his posture while hanging on its horn, the Dragon of Annihilation lost its desire to toy with its prey. It slowly raised its two giant claws, its muscles tense and its thorns trembling slightly, as if to end the battle with a warm embrace.

Judging from His sharp claws stretched to their limit, this embrace must have been a little painful.

"Isn't it a bit late to hug me now... Flower Cat, if you hadn't come soon, I was going to die right here!"

Chen Yan spoke weakly.

"Here I am, meow!"

Flower Cat's voice trembled with excitement.

"Take this! Flower Cat's Third Move! Flower Cat Invincible Slash!"

Flower Cat spun out from behind Chen Yan, having charged up for a long time, its Fire Dragon Cat Knife already enveloped in a thick red light.

Although it lacked the overwhelming momentum and astonishing power of Chen Yan's attack, it still contained its most ferocious strike.

The Fire Dragon Cat Knife grazed Chen Yan's Red Leaf Knife and slashed into its gap.

The shared power and the shared sword rekindled the gradually dying red leaves.

Amidst the roar of the flower cat, the blade in its claws shattered to the bottom, accompanied by several crisp sounds. The last remaining connection of the Nergigante's horn broke apart, and half of its horn crumbled and fell to the ground.

With a burst of energy, Hana-Nyan slashed heavily at Nergigante's left shoulder with the long, narrow blade of Momiji's blade, which had become scorching hot once more.

The jet-black thorns shattered and splattered first, followed by its black and purple scales. Flower Cat was responsible for breaking the skin, while Chen Yan was responsible for scraping deeper. With their efforts, a spurt of blood gushed out. After fighting for a long time, they finally managed to wound the Nergigante.

Having landed a successful blow, Flower Cat carried Chen Yan and ran away, nimbly dodging the swung thorns. It even used its tail to flip over the insect cage, and the blinding white light interrupted the Nergigante's pursuit. It successfully returned to Naomi and Harley's side.

The flower cat collapsed to the ground, its stamina completely drained by the single Flower Cat Invincible Slash.

It wanted to turn around and admire its spoils, but after looking back several times and carefully rubbing its eyes, the expression on its face seamlessly changed from smugness to shock.

"Where are the wounds? Where are the wounds I inflicted?"

There was no injury on Nergigante's left shoulder, and even the hardened, blackened thorns were exactly the same as before. If it weren't for the fact that a piece of its horn was indeed missing, Flower Cat would have thought she was dreaming.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Harley, who witnessed Nergigante's terrifying regenerative abilities firsthand, didn't even have time to be shocked.

Faced with the weakened Chen Yan and Hua Miao, she hurriedly popped the honey worm and handed him the food she had prepared. The green honey syrup and the specially made high-energy food finally brought some warmth back to Chen Yan's cold body.

He shoved a jumble of food and potions into his mouth, and as his belly heaved, the [Super Big Stomach] and [Enhanced Big Stomach] quickly digested the food to provide energy, while the [Soft Tissue Self-Healing] healed his internal and external soft tissue injuries.

After a long while, Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, finally reviving.

He gently rubbed the still-shocked cat's head and offered words of comfort to its shattered Dao heart.

"Don't compare him to ordinary monsters; he's a killer capable of preying on other ancient dragons."

Chen Yan stood up and stroked his sword again. Looking at the Nergigante opposite him, whose gaze was still fixed on him, he checked the quest bubble in his mind again. Apart from the golden bubble of the Chameleon, there was still no quest assigned by the Nergigante.

Looking into His eyes, which had remained unchanged from beginning to end, Chen Yan, who had fought several battles, understood the reason.

Nergigante only saw him as a "delicious treat," not as a "beloved" person she could travel to the ends of the earth with.

Chen Yan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his fighting spirit blazing, and a touch of crimson appeared again on the narrow blade inside the scabbard.

"Meimei, you really underestimate me..."

The Nergigante burst forth, its left claw raised high to deliver a sweeping attack, but Chen Yan ignored it. He simply stood still, lowered his body, and assumed the most standard drawing-slash stance.

The Extinction Dragon traversed dozens of meters in a single breath, its raised claws casting shadows that enveloped Chen Yan. Just as a whistling, mournful wind blew, its claws were about to tear Chen Yan apart—

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whistling sound pierced the sky as a jet-black armor-piercing arrow pierced the center of the Nergigante's raised left claw, shredding a dark purple thorn before snapping in two.

The Nergigante didn't even notice that it had been stung in the palm of its claw.

Until the second, third, fourth... dozens or even hundreds of arrows flashed by, gradually blending into a clear black line, accurately hitting the same spot on His left claw within a few seconds.

The sound of arrows shredding thorns quickly disappeared, replaced by a strange sound of arrows piercing flesh.

He wanted to tear Chen Yan's left claw apart, leaving it dripping with blood. Chen Yan was clearly right under his claw, and He could easily flatten him with a single slap, but the claw could not bring itself to strike under the endless barrage of arrows.

For the first time, Nergigante shifted its gaze from Chen Yan to the girl who was frantically pulling the crossbow.

It looks small and skinny and doesn't look appetizing, but if you chew it carefully, it might be surprisingly delicious.

After thoroughly consuming Chen Yan, who was of greatest interest to Him, He originally intended to go and eat that fat cat next, but now He has changed His mind; His second prey is her.

Despite the dragon's covetous gaze, Harley remained fearless, her eyes fixed on its raised claws. Her movements as she drew the bowstring and released the arrow were precise and swift, almost imperceptible, with only the continuous whooshing sound echoing through the air.

She didn't stop until she ran out of arrows.

Harley's face was pale, and the five fingers that were pulling the crossbow string were already a bloody mess, with drops of blood dripping onto the ground.

"Chen Yan, I've done my best. Now it's up to you."

The music resumed, and the stirring triple war song replaced the sound of arrows piercing the air.

Naomi was also dancing with all her might.

"Take another one from me..."

"Flying Blade Rock-Splitting Slash!"

The moment the blade was drawn, a dazzling crimson light reappeared.

The crimson blade, wreathed in flames and dust, dragged its afterimage as it rose from below, tearing apart the thorns on the chest of the Annihilator Dragon with unstoppable force; the sound of flesh and scales shattering was clearly audible.

"Not over yet! Let's continue, Swallow Return!"

Chen Yan's wrist twisted rapidly, so fast that his wrist bones made a cracking sound.

When the blade tip reached its limit, it transformed into the back of the blade. The back of the blade slammed heavily into the Nergigante's chin. All of Chen Yan's strength, plus the even greater energy rebounded from it, was poured into the blade. The blood blade flipped and slashed down again, and there was another sound of flesh and scales shattering!

Two slashes crossed across the chest of the Nergigante, and blood from its shattered scales sprayed all over Chen Yan's body. The red blade in his hand, brimming with energy, became even more alluring under the blood.

"Not over yet! Keep going, Dragon Ascent!"

Chen Yan stepped on the thorns of the Annihilation Dragon and dragged his katana as he soared into the sky.

His vision was already blurred, but that didn't stop him from locking onto his target. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, and at the highest point, he poured all the strength in his body into the blade, then brought it down with all his might!

A clearly visible crimson blade aura emerged from the top of the dragon's head to its still bleeding chest. For the first time, its eyes changed, but nothing it did could stop the sky-shaking roar of the Dragon Ascension Blade Aura detonating.

Thorns, scales, flesh... anything that intertwined with the Dragon Ascension Blade's energy turned into a wisp of blood foam, and the Extinction Dragon let out a heart-wrenching wail!

But the excruciating pain also completely enraged this savage and bloodthirsty monster!

He suddenly spread his wings, and the thousands of thorns on his body, under the intense pain, had uncontrollably reached their hardest state, each one black and shiny. Others did not know what he was going to do, but Chen Yan, who was watching him take off, knew very well.

He is about to unleash his finishing move—

Break through the thorns and annihilate the heavens!
