Have you ever heard of the rule of four?
It is a old rule that was created bacause there were multiple missions that ended in misfortune and deaths that happen every time a Expedition Team of five or more people Set out to hunt monster or Explore regions.
Thruth be told I thought it was just superstition until a Nargakuga mother crippled and disarm most of my friends from the Hunter academy, because we stumbled on it's nest by accidentally.
"Hamph hamph... fuck.. ha... please just give me a break"
*Bing~ bing~
It's already been ten minutes, since I told my friends to run away and managed to somehow ignited a Signalflare in hope somebody would see it to come and save me.
I am desperately trying to dodge it's relentless Attacks, by rolling on floor or grap it's knife covered tail with my dual blades, barely holding on as it swings me around and scratches me everywhere.
My lungs burn, I am bleeding heavily from my chest with small steel hard feathers sticking out, my mouth is dry and the little saliva I have left tastes like metall.
'Had I not been a hunter who uses mainly dual blades, I would probably...'
'My Head hurts like hell, but for whatever reason I feel happy, It feel like I meet an old friend after a long time' a rush of excited overcomes me as I hear a small, distorted voice in my head telling me how to move.
*voice'No..., not like that... your footwork is too unstable,.... stay only completly light footed when you are not attacking or dodgeing,.....but when you attack or dodge you need to put Strength in your toes as if you're trying to grip the floor....'
I instinctively follow the instruction like it was the most natural thing for me and ended up dodgeing a claw attack would normally scratch me like it was nothing.
"What the?"
*Voice'Good.... Now you only need transfer the momentum of your weight by shifting your feet in a wave like motion similar to a whip through out your body, use the rhythm and send it off together with your Attacks.'
As I follow the instruction, I notice the voice becomes clearer and louder, I seem to slowly become more and more efficient in dealing with the Nargakuga attacks.It's a lot easier now to parry or dodge it.
*voice'Good you are doing Geat! hahaha! But you're still wasting a big amount of stamina use only the Demon reinforcement by applying it at the last moment of your movement when you are about to move or attack you know like in small bursts.'
*Boom
*Rrawwh
A loud explosion that should'nt normaly come from a clash between a dual blade and a Monsters vitalshild was resounding loudly.
"Wow!"
The recoil nearly made me fall backwards.
*voice'Hey stabilize your posture, don't let the recoil throw you around! Don't try to direktly absorb the recoil in your body and instead transfer the momentum to your over arm with your core and shoulder muscle!'
Immediately after I stabilize my posture a claw attack cam swinging sideways, that barely managed to parry and dodge by applying the new technique.
"Haaa!"
*Boom! Splash!
*Kyahhhn~
"What!!!?"
Something happend that should not be posible, a direkt hit on a Monsters body that ignored it's vitalshild, but before I even had time to freez up about the strange sight of one of my dual blades penetrating the through it's left frontleg and wing
I heared: 'don't let the fuck up, flip it over and start a chain combo on it's head, because from now on its either you or her.'
"Ha aa aaa aaaaah!"
I forced the monster to move, by useing the pain like lever, pulling it's over my shoulder in order to flip it with the full power of demon reinforcement in combination with a overhead shoulder throw to slamm it into the ground and start assaulting it's face with all the power I have left.
*Boom! Boom! Splash! Splash!...
*Kyahhhn~ Thud!
'"Haa haa aha hahaha! I am alive!"'
I colapsed moment my war cry of victory ended, having strained every musclefibre by pushing past my Limits, to lift the monster, vision blurs and the memory of my past life flood my brain, a status system opens before my eyes.
