Hunter Pistol and Ludwig's Holy Blade
[The Yharnam Hunter have invaded!]
When Luluwo saw this message appear here, Lu Lu Wo was stunned for a moment, then showed a relieved expression.
She looked around and sure enough, this beacon tower was the place where adventurers encountered the Yharnam Hunter' invasion and first met Patch!
There's an unwritten rule in the adventurer community, the kind that people have to follow on their own.
For example, if real adventurers are invading each other and encounter an invasion from an invading dungeon, they will generally choose to temporarily cease hostilities and let the invaded person take out the dungeon invaders first, and then the real players will fight each other.
Some more Wu De real-life invaders might even choose to help, and of course, there are also many who team up with dungeon invaders to beat up others.
This kind of village rule-like thing first circulated in small circles, and recently it has become more popular. However, whether or not to follow this rule depends entirely on personal preference, and there is no requirement for everyone to comply.
If someone who doesn't follow the village rules meets someone who does, it's fine if they win, but if they lose...
It just means eating a few Dung Pie or spiraling Finger Down; it doesn't seem like a terrible price to pay.
By the way, Lu Lu Wo has always been two-faced; whether or not she follows the village rules depends entirely on the battle situation that day.
But today, faced with this scene of extraordinary and powerful figures gathering, she decided to be a pure and kind-hearted intruder.
When the Yharnam Hunter appeared, she immediately hid to the side, stood at attention upright and in an air of "please go first."
Anzi III nodded in approval at the sight, saying, "This invader is also a man of Wu De."
She had no concept of Wu De, Fingel thought to himself, before drawing his sword and facing the Yharnam Hunter.
Hasawi Squad deliberately chose to come here because they knew that adventurers without Hunting Handbook would inevitably be invaded by hunters at this beacon tower.
Fingel didn't know what Anzi III meant by the spirit of Warrior, but he had a feeling that the spirit of Warrior the other party was talking about would definitely not be reflected in the battle between the invaders of Sen. If the old man were to really think about it, he would probably have a stroke from anger.
Therefore, he chose the Farron Keep, which was the closest to the road. The "Hunter's" combat was violent and entertaining. His ghostly figure swayed and his attacks were relentless and fierce, never stopping until the enemy Execute. He was even more of Warrior than a Warrior. This should satisfy Anzi III's desire for entertainment.
Another consideration is that after the King has had a great time watching the hunters fight, when he sees Lu Lu Wo's marathon tactics as an invader, Fingel will have an opportunity to "argue" and attribute this cowardly tactic of marathon fighting to Lu Lu Wo herself.
Anyway, the King doesn't come to the dungeon often, so this time we'll just appease him and consider it a reward for his hard work over the years.
Fingel was fully prepared, ready to engage in a spectacular battle with the charging invaders.
However, just as their weapons were about to make contact, a question suddenly popped into his mind.
Wait a minute, I remember the intruders who appeared here were called "Hunters," so how come they've become "Yharnam Hunter" this time?
Moreover, the weapon doesn't seem to be that Saw Cleaver anymore, but has become a longsword. He even has a scabbard on his back that looks as thick as the blade of a giant sword. Is it necessary for this longsword to be paired with such a large scabbard?
"Bang!"
The pistol in the Yharnam Hunter's hand rang out.
The Quicksilver Bullets struck just as Fingel raised his knife to strike. The pain of being hit by the bullet and the mysterious power contained within it made his body stiffen as if he had been deflected.
Fingel was shocked. He had fought hunters before and knew the power of that pistol. He had defended himself the instant the gun went off.
However, the pistol of the Yharnam Hunter that appeared this time was far more powerful than before! His parry, which used to be able to block the shots, was now useless!
Moreover, the new hunter's timing in firing the shot was perfect, making it both more appropriate and more deadly!
"Luckily, I had a set of thick armor custom-made after my fight with Iliphis!"
The Yharnam Hunter took a big step forward, his longsword thrusting straight at him. This was a subtle adjustment of his position using the characteristics of the technique while attacking, something only a master with extremely rich combat experience could do.
Just as Fingel guessed, this Yharnam Hunter is a fully upgraded version of the hunter!
The distance between them was clearly insufficient for the Yharnam Hunter to deliver a heart-wrenching, explosive exchange with Fingel, so he opted for a simple, straightforward thrust. The sharp blade pierced through the armor crafted by the artisan and plunged directly into Fingri's abdomen.
At this moment, the pain finally restored Fingel's ability to move. He quickly dodged the attack to prevent the situation from escalating and retaliated with a backhand slash.
The Yharnam Hunter lightly dodged the attack by tapping his toes on the ground, his movements graceful and elegant. However, instead of using his superior agility to maneuver around the edge of Fingel and launch an attack, he chose a more Warrior -like frontal assault!
Anzi III's eyes lit up. He knew he hadn't been wrong. Even the invaders set up in the dungeon were so full of Warrior spirit, so their living adventurers must be even stronger!
Thinking this, he glanced intently at Lu Lu Wo, who was standing in the corner like a well-behaved child.
Although Lu Lu Wo didn't know what this seemingly powerful old man was thinking, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The battle on Fingel's side has become very difficult. He thought he was going to face an ordinary hunter and that it would be over in a show match. He didn't expect to encounter an upgraded version of the Yharnam Hunter. The show match turned into a real battle, and it was very difficult.
The opponent's Battle Mania was both wild and experienced, like a master hunter who had fought among beasts for countless hours. Putting aside everything else, the timing of his counterattack was perfect!
If it were him, perhaps he could really break through the Furious Rajang's Wild Fists.
The only way Fingel could come up with to deal with Gun Parry was to use a fierce close-quarters combat to prevent the opponent from finding an opportunity to fire. It was a very simple method, but it was the only one he could do. Even so, this method was extremely dangerous, because if his attack slowed down even slightly, the Yharnam Hunter could take a step back and shoot him in the head at any time.
He had a tough fight, but Anzi III on the stage was thrilled.
"Look at the knife!"
He finally found his chance and perfectly deflected the Yharnam Hunter's weapon with his longsword. This move could be called a parry or a slash, but he successfully seized the perfect opportunity to attack and slashed at his opponent!
"Snap—"
Suddenly, a sound like mechanical friction came from somewhere.
As Fingel struck the Yharnam Hunter in the chest, he suddenly felt a heavy gust of wind in front of him, and then hot blood spurted from his chest.
Oops, how did I get hit? And it seems like it was by a heavy weapon?
As he leaned back, he strained to see, and saw that the longsword in the Yharnam Hunter's hand had been sheathed in the heavy scabbard on his back, transforming into a heavy weapon somewhere between a greatsword and Greatsword. It was only then that he realized that what the hunter was carrying was not just a scabbard, but also another blade.
The technique used by Yharnam Hunter is the [Transforming Slash], which is performed by transforming weapon combinations!
The name of the weapon in his hand is: [Ludwig's Holy Blade]!
Not only Anzi III, but also General Ji Li Man Bo and others stared wide-eyed, never expecting that the hunter would use such a strange transforming weapon!
While many craftsmen outside have developed similar weapons, transforming weapons have a series of practical flaws, being more for show than for use, so they have rarely been used. I never expected to encounter a Shadow Invader who is skilled in using transforming weapons in the Zane Dungeon!
The Saw Cleaver used by hunters in the past could also transform, but it was rarely used in actual combat due to reasons such as water leakage, and it was hardly noticed by anyone.
The power that the Yharnam Hunter are now displaying is what truly deserves our attention!
With his chest almost cleaved open and feeling his strength rapidly draining away, Fingel helplessly waved to his companions. It was clear that he couldn't finish the fight by himself.
So Hasawi Squad joined the battle to help him fight the enemy. With Anzi III's consent, General Ji Li Man Bo also ordered the knights to enter the fray, and in the end, he himself jumped in.
Surrounded by numerous experts, the Yharnam Hunter displayed a rather insane side. His extremely high desire to attack drove him to fight like a madman, skillfully switching his weapon between two forms. His Transforming Slash slashes were powerful and fierce, giving him the imposing aura of a single man holding off ten thousand.
Anzi III stared intently at the Ludwig's Holy Blade in the other's hand, and suddenly felt that he had grasped the charm of transforming weapons.
Putting aside power and practicality, the "crackling" sound of steel rubbing against each other when the weapon combination transforms is truly irresistible, and most importantly, the transformation animation is incredibly cool!
Strength may become outdated, but being cool lasts a lifetime!
The battle lasted a long time.
After a bloody battle, the group finally defeated the Yharnam Hunter.
Their victory was largely due to the fact that the opposing team ran out of Quicksilver Bullets and did not choose to reload, thus preventing them from Gun Parry.
Anzi III stared expectantly at the Yharnam Hunter was slowly disappearing. He knew that the afterimages of the dungeon would drop items when they died, so could he hope that the transforming weapon would drop? If so, he wanted it no matter what.
Unlike Serena, who was obsessed with Ornstein, he seemed to be the kind of person who would be fascinated by weapons.
The result was slightly different from what he expected. After the Yharnam Hunter slowly disappeared, light spots did fall, but they were mechanical objects different from the transforming weapons.
Hunter Pistol
[The pistols made by the factory for hunters are specially designed so that the Quicksilver Bullets can be injected with the user's blood, thus causing greater damage to monsters.]
[Weapon Skill: Gun Parry]
Shoot the enemy's weak point just before they attack, and they will be rendered paralyzed.
In addition to firearms, there were also Blood Vial and ten Quicksilver Bullets.
