Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound - Chapter 60
Episode 60 The Hunter and the Prey (6)
Ahhulsa.
Bikir got up from his seat.
The joints that hadn’t healed yet screamed, but there was nothing they could do.
If you don’t move right now, you’ll be killed.
Kwak!
The sturdy tent was torn like pieces of toilet paper.
It was Oxbear’s strong claws that flew through the chestnuts.
Ayen laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Was it the one who was lured in? You cunning bastard.”
Oxbear male. Although it is only about half the size of a female, it is a super-large carnivorous monster with a height of 4 meters and a weight of over 1 ton.
This seasoned monster already knew that it was being pursued.
So, conversely, they attacked when this side was weak.
Iyan quickly took up her bow and arrow and retreated outside the tent.
The wolf Vakira was also growling at his master’s side, lowering his posture.
Iyen took a careful look at the Oxbear in front of him.
“There must be a reason you were chosen by that old female.”
The huge female Oxbear from before was very picky in making a second generation, so I wondered why she had chosen this exceptionally small guy out of so many males as her mate.
If it was simply because I didn’t want to be attacked after mating, there were many other small males.
But now I get it.
She hoped that the male’s cunning intelligence would add to her superior body.
[Kreureung!]
Oxbear attacked with its two huge horns and front paws.
After Iyen climbed onto Vakira’s back, he quickly set an arrow on the string of his bow.
Peeping –
Two arrows fly and aim for Oxbear’s face.
Oxbear lowered his head and lifted his horn, so he couldn’t hit him in the face.
Then the arrow bent its trajectory in the air and hit Oxbear in both shoulders, as if he were alive.
Indeed, Balak’s archery was the best on the continent, and Iyen’s archery was one of the best.
Karak-karararak-
Iyen fired several arrows in succession with one bow.
Unusually, Balak’s bow has several strings.
It is possible to fire individual arrows on these multiple bowstrings consecutively with a time difference, or it is possible to fire them all at once.
Pupper puffer puck!
Iyen fired a bunch of arrows without a chance to breathe.
The time it took for the first arrow, the second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow, and the fifth arrow to fly was about the blink of an eye.
Truly monstrous rate of fire.
Of course, it takes ridiculous levels of arm strength to pull five bowstrings at once.
Iyen was covering the enormous tension required by him with the mana of a lower grader.
[Grueureung!]
Oxbear’s charge slowed down due to the rain of arrows.
Because each of Iyen’s arrows was powerful, it was not easy to defend against Oxbear’s thick muscles and fur.
Moreover, Iyan’s arrows did not only travel in a straight line.
She shot arrows up, sideways, and sometimes backwards.
Arrows that went up into the sky fell in a parabolic arc and aimed at the top of the head, while arrows shot to the side bent back and aimed at the side.
Even the arrows that flew backwards hit trees or rocks and splattered grenades.
There, the arrow carried a powerful aura.
Oxbear did not know how troublesome this aura was.
…puck! Perpuck!
Oxbear hid behind a dead tree to avoid the flying arrows.
The dead wood was quite thick, so it was judged that it would block the arrow.
however.
“A good arrow will pierce what it wants to pierce, even steel, but it will not pierce a single leaf of what it does not want to pierce.”
Ayen recalled the teachings he had heard from his mother and chief, Aquila.
Eventually, the arrow she shot hit the dead tree where Oxbear was hiding.
Took!
Surprisingly, the arrows that flew at such high speed did not pierce the dead tree and bounced off without a hitch.
Instead, the aura carried by the arrow left the arrowhead and permeated the dead wood.
and.
Per-billion!
An oxbear hiding behind a dead tree spewed blood from its neck.
[Ku-aaaaaaang!]
Penetrate.
The intangible energy fired from the arrowhead crossed the dead tree and wounded Oxbear behind it.
Bikir saw it and exclaimed.
‘Is that really Balak’s archery!’
A truly ridiculous archery that can shoot and kill even enemies hiding behind cover.
But Balak’s seasoned hunters actually do it.
Bikir had also moved mana to shatter the glasses on the table without destroying it, but it was unclear whether it could be applied to flying arrows as well.
‘If that becomes possible… more sophisticated aura control will become possible.’
Vikir raised her head again and looked at Iyen.
Junior graduate at the age of 17.
Even in the Baskervilles, where only geniuses are gathered, I have never seen such a genius before.
In terms of talent alone, he probably rivaled or even surpassed Camus of the House of Morgue.
……however.
It was Oxbear that even Iyen was at a loss.
In addition to immature and small males, they are weakened after prolonged mating.
However, despite this, the monsters of the danger class A rank were strong.
Ayen felt that his arrows had almost run out and gritted his teeth.
The wolf Vakira, who had been a reliable foot, also looked very tired.
Moreover, it is cold here and the topography is also simple, and it is a moonless night, so visibility is not good.
Eventually, Oxbear, who preoccupied all the advantageous grounds, prepared for the final blow.
Oxbears generally show a typical attack pattern of striking with their front paws after striking with their horns.
However, the real thing was the teeth attack that followed these two movements.
[That-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!]
Oxbear attacked with all his might and tried to embrace Iyen and Vakira at once with his arms wide open.
Its jaws, packed with dagger-like teeth, were trying to bite Iyen’s entire head off.
‘What do we do? There aren’t many arrows left. Do you want to step back like this? Or the last gamble…?’
When Iyan was contemplating the next move.
Something that Iyen, Baki, and even Oxbear never expected happened.
“Get out of the way.”
Bikir. he appeared
Bikir intervened on the battlefield due to a disrespectful subject.
He was on top of a tall dead tree.
Then Bikir jumped off a branch and landed right on Oxbear.
“Ah! What are you doing!?”
Iyen was frightened. What Bikir did seemed nothing but suicide to her.
but.
As Bikir leaped from the tree, several arrows were clutched tightly in his hands.
And surprisingly, Oxbear didn’t react much when he saw Bikir falling.
That’s also because the place where Bikir jumped was in the left direction.
Some time ago, an Oxbear male was slapping around in a female’s den after mating, and was slapped with a cheek clap, which left his left eye swollen.
As a result, he subtly dug into the blind spot of his vision.
yet.
…Poo-wook!
Several arrows in Bikir’s grasp pierced Oxbear’s left eye at once. The sound of boiling
fat
and the smell of burning meat.
It was an arrowhead that had heated up to the limit because it contained Iyen’s mana not too long ago.
These heated pieces of metal tore through the male oxbear’s swollen snowball flesh, ruptured the soft eyeballs, and stirred the nerves inside them.
[Qu-aaaagh!]
Oxbear’s scream has changed slightly.
The roar, which had been a mixture of hatred and contempt, was now tinged with fear.
Bikire snapped the arrows and fell to the floor.
“……Kuh!”
My whole body feels like it’s about to break just by simply landing on the floor.
And in front of him, Oxbear cast a huge body.
Iyen was shocked.
“no!”
She quickly fired her arrows, but they only pierced some of Oxbear’s strong back muscles and lodged.
The wolf Vakira ran out and bit the back leg, but Oxbear didn’t care.
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]
Oxbear, blinded by anger and fear, screamed and opened his mouth wide.
No horns, no paws, no teeth! Oxbear’s real exhaust attack flies towards Vikir.
And ahead of that, Bikir’s expression was absolutely calm.
“…”
It wasn’t that he was prepared for death.
Now, it is to select an estimate to see if the body can handle this technology to be used.
“Come out.”
Bikir gave the command in a low voice, and soon one of the faithful hounds bared its teeth.
…Poo-wook!
A black awl that pierced Bikir’s wrist artery.
Only then did the demonic sword Baalzebub appear!
Buzzing –
With the sound of the wings of a fly, Baalzebub showed his appetite for the huge chunk of meat in front of him.
And one of the powerful forces imprisoned in Baalzebub’s three orbs exploded through the tip of the sword.
< The gluttonous fly 'Baalzebub' > / Awl
-1 slot: burns – Cerberus (A+)
Cerberus. The three-headed dog that symbolizes hell itself.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The flames of the boundless world, which could not be quenched even with water, combined with the aura carried on the tip of Baalzebub’s sword and raged like an explosion.
This flame, which burns with hell oil as collateral, burns endlessly and endlessly unless the owner’s will is extinguished.
The hound’s teeth, which were roaring with flames, plunged into the gaping Oxbear’s mouth.
[Heuk!?]
Oxbear stopped charging.
When the eyes, which had been blinded by anger and fear, return to their original state, they finally see the true reality.
……What the hell is that!
I thought it was just a human body, but when I experienced it, it wasn’t.
What is in front of your eyes is a gigantic top predator, the presence of a high-ranking monster that you can’t even compare yourself to, the fangs of a monster that can only live in the far-deep realm of hell.
The monster, whose teeth had just been exposed, as if it had been lying in ambush until now, came to attack with tremendous pain and fear.
…Quageek!
short bloody sounds.
The awl that sprouted from Vikir’s wrist shot straight through and penetrated Oxbear’s mouth.
First it pierced the protruding tongue, then through the gum palate to the brain inside the skull.
Moreover, terrifying flames spewed out from the tip of the awl.
Burning pain, the most terrible pain in the world.
It couldn’t turn the brain inside Oxbear’s skull into porridge and was boiling it down.
[Gaaaaaagh!]
Oxbear let out a scream close to death.
Bikir’s attack was brief but intense.
Oxbear had not let go of life yet with his unique tough life and regenerative power, but that was all.
No, that wasn’t all.
Oxbear, at the end of his life, leaned heavily towards Vikir.
Bikir is in a state where it is difficult to move because of the pain felt all over the body.
Even if Oxbear died, he intended to use his bloated body to crush Vikir and kill him.
however.
Dig!
At that moment, Iyen threw his whole body and snatched Vikir.
The wolf Vakira caught Iyen and Vikir with her soft back and stepped back.
“Are you okay!?”
Iyen examines Bikir’s whole body with his eyes wide open.
Bikir nodded with difficulty.
at the same time.
…thud!
Oxbear’s body hit the ground with its head.
Did he himself imagine the end like this with the words of a male who madly copulated with a female in a cozy den just a few days ago?
In the jungle where plunder and love of death are mixed.
…wow!
Ayen hugged Vikir.
Then he hurriedly removed the few pieces of cloth covering his body and shouted.
“If you think you’re going to die, tell me! Quickly extract the seeds…!”
Bikir had no choice but to sigh even after the hunt was successful.
