Hayata, who had replaced the flying dragon sword [Black Radiance], rushed over.
When she was still four or five meters away from the target, she unsheathed her sword and swung the blade down diagonally. As she continued to charge, the blade just cut through the back ankle of the Styracosaurus.
The moment the dark red blade cut into the black oil armor, there was a pause, but as the blade ignited the ultra-high temperature explosion flame from the Black Flame King's "Explosive Flame Bag", the black oil sticking to the blade immediately melted away.
This feeling is like inserting a shovel into soft mud. Although there will still be resistance, as long as you continue to apply force, you can easily cut deep.
Julius, who was not far away, witnessed the advantages of fire-attribute weapons. He shook his swords and shook off the black oil on the blades, and ran towards the camp.
"I'll leave this to you first."
"good."
Hayata spun around and retreated, avoiding the Styracosaurus's stomp with a slash, and then continued the attack.
Facing a super-giant monster like Styracosaurus with absolute advantages in size and strength, any defensive methods are not easy to use.
Compared with precise defensive moves such as the air blade slash that deflects the opponent, evasive counterattacks such as the slash are more effective.
Hayata, who had picked up the blade to complete the counterattack, moved forward and slashed twice in succession. The flames erupting from the blade continued to melt the black oil. Then he was not greedy with the sword and prepared to slash with the sword.
However, the greater attention of Styracosaurus still remained on Gordon who was continuously charging and attacking its wing claws.
Hayata simply drew his sword Koiai, and after slashing twice with the sword, he continued to rub the sword around the hind legs of the Styracosaurus.
On the front, with Ancier helping to melt the black oil armor, Gordon's attack became much smoother.
With multiple overlays of charged slashes, engine thrust, and dragon energy burning, Gordon successfully cut through the scales and broke through the defense of the giant halberd's dragon wing claw wrists.
Dark red thick ancient dragon blood flowed out, but the wound was quickly sealed by the continuous flow of dragon bone oil.
For Styracosaurus, dragon bone oil seemed to be omnipotent. It was not only armor, but also a healing medicine, and it was also the most powerful offensive weapon.
The Styracosaurus, which lacked the sense of pain but could still feel irritated, lowered its head and breathed out a stream of oily flames, blasting towards Gordon next to its wing claws.
Gordon quickly interrupted the power-charging action, rolled backwards, and retreated quickly.
He knew that the most dangerous thing about Styracosaurus's breath attack was not the breath bombardment, but the ensuing explosion of keel oil.
Judging from the activation and expansion speed of the ball of keel oil, it seemed that it was too late to run out of the explosion range. Gordon, who had made a judgment in his mind, immediately prepared to raise his sword and enter a defensive posture.
However, there was someone faster than him.
Altman charged and cut in front of him, smashing the large dark purple carapace shield in his hand to the ground, forming a barrier.
"Boom——!" The explosion sounded.
Facing the scattered oil flames and shock waves, Altman, who was dressed in super-heavy steel hammer dragon armor, was like a rock in the sea. He did not retreat even half a step, firmly protecting his companions like a steel colossus.
To be honest, even if Feng Ying masters the high-level skill of precision defense one day, she is destined to not be able to give people an indestructible sense of security like "steel".
After all, according to the habits of shield and ax users, the next second they should consider "solving the damn thing".
"Thank you!"
Altman tilted his head and nodded, then shouted: "Regroup the swordsmen! Make sure each group has a fire attribute weapon that can break through black oil, and a defender!"
There was no time to discuss. Based on their mutual familiarity and style compatibility, the upper-level hunters naturally completed the reorganization of the team.
Ancil, Gordon, and Altman, who had just arrived, formed a main attacking team.
Julius, who finished changing his clothes and rushed back to the battlefield with the male and female dragon flames, Will, the pen spear user, and Aiden, the new pen man, formed another defensive team, and together with Gordon and the others, they suppressed the giant from the front. Styracosaurus.
Feng Ying, who had been lonely for a long time cutting off the tail of the Styracosaurus, but could not even break the oil shell, formed a guerrilla team with Hayata, and relied on their high speed and flexibility to harass and distract the Styracosaurus.
The hunting flute allows Feddy to also have offensive capabilities, but in large-scale operations involving multiple teams jointly hunting, it is obviously more efficient for him to concentrate on playing to provide protection.
The three shooters, Gale, Hilda, and Nadia, did not join the group. Instead, they each looked for suitable angles and continued to attack the vital wounds on the chest and abdomen of the Styracosaurus, accumulating damage.
After no longer sticking to the original team grouping, the offensive efficiency of the upper-level hunters has significantly improved.
What struck Altman and others the most was that when Silverbender, a team known for its strong offensiveness, was split into two groups, two teams that emphasized offense appeared on the battlefield.
With the addition of Altman's strong shield, Gordon completely let go of his hands and feet, and continuously launched fierce attacks on the left wrist of the wing claw of the Styracosaurus.
The same goes for Ancil, who is responsible for melting the black oil defense with fire bombs. The two attack rhythms are perfectly coordinated.
Whenever Gordon carries the sword and enters the charging posture, it is the window for Ancier to step up his graze shooting and melt the black oil defense.
As soon as the magazine of six fire bombs was emptied, Gordon's True Charged Slash was ready.
At the same time that Gordon was really charging up and slashing down, Ancier also quickly completed the reloading and reset to start the next round of offensive.
After two rounds of this, Gordon and Ancil entered the state of courage at the same time.
Gordon no longer uses the true charged slash, which is more powerful and takes longer to prepare, as his main attack method, but replaces it with the more maneuverable high-speed charged slash and strong charged thrust slash.
In this way, the power of a single attack may not be as high as the previous true charge, but the attack frequency is greatly accelerated, and the attack of the Styracosaurus can be evaded more flexibly, and the overall attack efficiency is greatly improved.
After Gordon changed his offensive mode, Ancil's shooting method was immediately adjusted accordingly.
He gave up the long-distance shooting mode, and instead held the heavy crossbow and ran wildly to a mid-range distance of less than twenty meters.
By constantly running, sliding tackles, actively adjusting his position to find shooting angles, and then cooperating with quick squatting shots, he alternated attacks with Gordon, who frequently slid around.
The interlaced movements and changes of positions between the two are dazzling. This kind of tacit understanding is obviously developed through many years of partnership, and it is difficult for others to join in.
If it weren't for the fact that Styracosaurus would spray explosive breath from time to time, requiring him to participate in defense, Altman would have felt that there was no need to stay here.
The two-man guerrilla team composed of two other members of Yinbian also began to carry out the work of storming.
Hayata, who had accumulated enough "courage" during the guerrilla retreat, also entered a state of courage.
The red air blade condensed on the blade of the Feilong Blade [Black Glory] attracted the attention of many people.
It is not uncommon for Tachi to have a red blade when its aura reaches its peak, but such a bright and long-lasting crimson blade is obviously not just an ordinary red blade.
The crimson air blade was mixed with the ultra-high-temperature explosive flames unique to [Black Radiance]. As she swung her sword, the thick and sticky dragon bone oil armor could be cut through with one sword stroke.
At this time, Feng Ying's various "solutions" followed closely, further destroying the body of the giant Styracosaurus that had lost the protection of the thick keel oil.
And when those hard and greasy scales cracked and shattered under the heavy ax blade she wielded, the effect of the attack became more obvious as the sword was not good at breaking through armor.
Under the unremitting attacks of the three teams of hunters, Styracosaurus was finally unable to maintain its standing posture with its chest held high and its head held high, and staggered to the ground.
