Facing the spear thrusting straight at him, he simply ducked and swept it horizontally, the immense force sending a whole group of Hilichurls, whose physical abilities were in no way inferior to those of adults, flying.
"Roar!"
But then they pounced on them again.
Kirito and Kazuma immediately rushed into the battlefield. However, both of them were in a more efficient killing mode, wielding firearms in one hand and melee weapons in the other, and their shots brought up sprays of blood.
The remaining two are by no means weak either.
Kyogoku Makoto, whose muscles don't seem exaggerated compared to the other three martial artists, actually has the strongest power.
He caught the spears thrust at him by several small monsters, threw them aside, and then unleashed a barrage of kicks like a torrential downpour.
Kick all the short guys who lost their balance away.
These five people made their appearance as if they were in an empty field.
These little things, which could easily defeat ordinary adventurers in the wild, are completely vulnerable.
After emptying a magazine, Kirito simply put away his gun, picked up his two swords, one on each side, and ran backward. When the enemies realized he was scared and huddled together to chase after him, he turned around and slashed back, directly stabbing the two small monsters in front of him, causing blood and brain matter to splatter out.
Then he turned his head and threw the knife away, continuously twisting his waist and slashing.
The monsters before them were felled one by one, like straws.
"Cool!"
As Kirito's physical abilities gradually approached or even surpassed those of his character in the game, he felt increasingly adept at the craft, and he could even use some of his more sophisticated sword techniques in real life.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time; the other party was a pure monster, an absolutely evil thing that devoured people.
Don't worry about whether it's moral or not, don't worry about whether it will hurt or upset anyone, and don't be a hesitant nagging mother-in-law!
Just let the feeling of sharp blades piercing flesh fill your hands, and listen to the wails of those damned bastards!
Ignore all feelings, just slaughter these inhuman beings! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Even if the blade becomes dull, it doesn't matter, because its own strength is enough to kill these dogs!
The more skilled the assassin, the smoother his movements became, dodging and weaving, constantly striking with his knife.
Picking up the sword techniques he had memorized again, this was undoubtedly the place where these skills, which had been etched into his body, could truly be put to use, rather than in a kendo dojo where he wielded a bamboo sword.
Kazuma was also dealing with the enemies in an orderly manner. Then he turned his head and saw Kirito charging straight into the monster horde like mowing grass, without stopping at all, constantly turning his sword, and the cheerful shouts he made from time to time.
“It feels so good!”
"No way? I'm the last person in the team who's mentally sound, and now I'm going crazy too."
Kazuma looked troubled and glanced around. The older man and the dark-skinned young man were also providing cover for each other as they systematically killed the enemy.
When Baki saw Kirito charge into the enemy ranks, he seemed to go berserk, his eyes turning bloodshot, and he plunged into the darkness of the crowd.
Because of the characteristic that some monster bones conceal knives, Baki's aggressive nature inevitably resulted in some scratches, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to care about these injuries at all.
"Okay! Leave some for me too!"
Kazuma looked around and suddenly noticed that something had left.
That was the short guy whose head seemed particularly large.
During their previous observations, Kazuma suspected that the person in question might be the leader of these things.
So Kazuma put away his gun, took out a powerful flashlight, and scanned the area. Then, in the cave he had seen earlier, he discovered that a large head being carried inside by several Hilichurls was being moved in.
Without hesitation, He Zhen raised his axe, greeted the people around him, and chased after them inside.
"You hold the line. Their leader has gone inside. I'm going to check."
"Don't worry, we won't let those things pass by."
Even during the battle, the two still had the mind to reply to Kazuma.
He Zhen didn't say much, but followed them into the cave, flashlight in hand.
The cave was even darker than the outside because of the lack of natural light. And the space inside was also larger than Kazuma had imagined.
Sharp stone pendants are visible all around, and ancient and obscure characters are carved on the walls.
Kazuma speculated that the reason those things didn't build structures for themselves might be because they lived in caves. Sure enough, as they went deeper into the cave, Kazuma saw some piles of grass and bone fragments.
This cave doesn't lead straight ahead; instead, it has many branching paths leading downwards, like a simple underground city.
Fortunately, He Zhen caught up in time, keeping the flashlight beam locked on the things in front of him, and he was fast enough to run.
Those things turned a corner ahead, and Kazuma chased after them.
But when Kazuma turned around, the flashlight was no longer shining on those red-skinned people.
In the pitch-black cave, a colossal object appeared in Kazuma's eyes as the flashlight beam shone through.
A pair of asymmetrical large ears appeared grayish in the pale light.
Its head looked as if it had split open, and its large head was covered with pustules. The huge, fist-sized eyes, unevenly distributed, reflected a ghostly green light under the flashlight beam.
Between a pair of protruding tusks was a thick, curled trunk. Besides these elephant-like features, the most striking thing about this creature was its body. It had a human-like body but was exceptionally bloated, and like an elephant, it lay on all fours on the ground. On the right side of its massive body was a horrific wound, as if it had been gnawed by a giant lamprey, from which bodily fluids occasionally oozed as it moved.
"Quick! Get out of the way!"
The two people who had watched Kazuma go in not long before saw him run out like a madman.
Just as the two were about to ask what had happened, they felt the ground shake.
222
Chapter 222 Fighting with all our might to defeat it.
"What the hell?" Hearing He Zhen's shout, the two instinctively stepped aside and turned around to look.
"This is?"
Looking at that thing with seven or eight eyes on its head, clearly having the head of an elephant, but with a body similar to a human, yet running in a hunched-over manner like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Both people at the door were subjected to a tremendous mental shock.
This is cognitively bizarre and illogical. If these dwarfs are still within the realm of acceptable understanding, then this thing in front of us has completely exceeded the scope of human comprehension.
Seeing such a thing rush out of the cave like a bull is really hard to accept.
As a result, both of them became stiff in their hands and feet.
Kazuma was running while simultaneously sending messages in his mind.
[Sato Kazuma: Kerry! You guys come to the island first, there's a big guy here!]
[Sato Kazuma: That thing has an elephant's head! Like a Tyrannosaurus Rex! You better think about whether your magic book has anything about it!]
Fortunately, the thing seemed to have identified its target. Although its body should have collapsed at any moment due to its huge head, it ran with extraordinary speed.
On the other side, Kerry, who was looking at the island, was stunned when he heard the news.
What is that thing? An elephant's head. Could it be Changnafangeng or his brother?
Changnafangeng is the god of elephants, a terror in the mountains. Specifically, he is a projection of an active multidimensional cosmic entity that descended to Earth. It seems that this cosmic entity leaves behind several of these things on every inhabited planet it passes by.
Some say that He is the embodiment of cosmic time or the rules governing time as perceived by living beings.
However, it wouldn't be surprising if it were Him, since Kree mentioned when introducing the Hilichurls that their ancestors were created by an Old One before they interbred with humans, and that Old One who created the Milnegli, the ancestral race of the Hilichurls, was Changnarfangen.
However, this is the version that everyone is more familiar with. There is also a version that the creators of the Hilichurls are the twin gods Lloyd and Zal.
However, it wouldn't be surprising if Changna Fangeng appeared in any version, since Hilichurls are a rare race that believes in all kinds of evil gods, and they basically accept anyone who comes along once they discover their existence.
Changnafangeng is also one of the few gods with a clear record of being killed, and he often appears as a lowly boss in various CoC role-playing games.
However, He is not as easy to deal with as Graki. After all, the existing kill record was created by a retired tech genius investigator who used an anti-entropy flashlight to turn Him into a black mud-like creature that had just arrived on Earth. However, the anti-entropy weapon Kree does not have this, so we can only hope that He is not immune to enchanted weapon damage.
Upon hearing this news, Kerry stopped sitting, stood up, and went to tell someone about their departure and the increased security measures in the meantime.
[Kerry: I know, but I can't say. You need to be careful about whether that thing has mind control abilities.]
[Toyokawa Shoko: We'll arrange security, they'll be here shortly.]
[Kazuma Sato: OK! 】
【Kiritani Kazuto:? 】
Kirito was still playing a hack-and-slash game when he suddenly saw a message saying a boss was spawning in the background.
It's something Kerry can't say; could it be another one of those monsters?
He immediately abandoned the battle and turned back. Baki, who was enjoying the fight, looked back with some confusion when he saw his action, and then he saw the huge creature illuminated by the firelight.
"Oh!"
However, he did not show the same stunned reaction as Gensai Kuroki and Makoto Kyogoku.
Aside from those beings that inherently symbolize a corner of the universe's rules, the spiritual impact of other creatures stems more from their challenge to human cognition.
This kind of thing is indeed very impactful for ordinary martial artists.
But for an illiterate boy who would kidnap the US president just to fight, who became acquainted with a magical animal called the Yaksha ape in junior high school, who knew that his father had killed an African elephant that even an army couldn't handle, who would imagine a whole bunch of fantastical creatures fighting him, and whose brain CT scans were all in the shape of ghost faces, and who never studied seriously...
Ah! Isn't it normal for such things to exist in this world?
Baki, my ignorant young lady!
Baki didn't sense anything was wrong; instead, he rushed over as well.
Meanwhile, as that thing chased him, Kazuma's mind kept replaying the surrounding terrain and some of the unchanging principles of combat.
Large bodies are weak against terrain, hairy creatures are weak against fire, and groups of monsters are weak against greatswords...
Kazuma was ready to start the marathon right away, tricking this thing into going up the road that had almost made him fall several times before.
"Ouch!"
The thing behind Kazuma swung its long nose, trying to grab Kazuma who was driving the horse, but it couldn't reach him and let out a low growl in anger.
Before Kazuma could even turn around, Kyogoku Makoto, who had been mentally shocked earlier, reacted and kicked the thing with a flying kick from the side.
"boom!"
The enormous thing crashed to the ground with a deafening roar onto a rack of dried human flesh made by Hilichurls.
"Ok?"
