Chapter 225 Julius’ Fear

 Charged slash, strong charged slash, true charged slash.

Gordon completed a set of combos and chopped the beetle's abdomen to pieces, but the latter still couldn't get out of the boulder.

He chuckled and did not continue to swing his sword. Instead, he put away the blasting knife, took out the paralysis trap, and placed it directly behind the beetle.

 It wasn’t until he set up the trap and raised his sword that the beetle finally pulled the giant horn out of the rock.

Perhaps the action of breaking away was too strong. The moment it was freed, it fell to the ground, just touched the paralysis trap, and fell into paralysis in an instant.

Gordon also didn't expect that the paralysis trap would work so smoothly. He quickly approached it and while charging up his sword, he aimed the sword blade at the wings of the piercing beetle again.

 “Drink!”

 The charged slash that had been accumulated to the limit was released, accurately landing on the left side of the beetle's back, at the base of the remaining wing.

In order to adapt to the high-speed trembling movement mode, these wings are thin and flexible, with strong resistance to pulling, just like silk.

 But in front of the hook-shaped steel blade, it seemed very fragile.

 Explosive Knife Kai cut off the wing very easily, or tore it off.

 I don’t believe you can still fly like this.

Gordon bared his teeth, adjusted his movements and the direction of his sword, and started to prepare for strong and true power cuts by pointing at the abdomen of the beetle.

Controlled by the paralysis trap, the Thor Beetle could not move, and could only let the hunter swing his sword, pouring powerful charged slashes on it again and again.

 Less than half a minute later, a burst of light smoke came out of the paralysis trap and it was disabled.

 The beetle's muscles seemed to vibrate in spasm, trying to fly again.

But having lost one wing, it was unable to maintain the balance of its flying posture. After a few chaotic circles in the air like a headless fly, it fell to the ground.

Although the Thor Beetle also has the ability to operate on the ground, Gordon knows that this guy has completely lost its threat.

 Even if the heavy beetle releases pheromones at this time, control it.

I couldn't stop those beetles flying at full speed before, so I can't stop you crawling on the ground?

Gordon chased the heavy beetles crawling all over the ground, while Julius and Nadia also successfully suppressed the heavy beetles.

 When two people work together, the effect of one plus one is far greater than two.

Different from Gordon and Ancier, who prefer fixed-point force-attack combat methods, Julius and Nadia are used to high-speed mobile combat.

The two of them moved quickly around the heavy beetle. Whenever the heavy beetle focused its attention on Julius, Nadia would launch a high-speed burst of fire.

And when the heavy beetle's attention shifts to Nadia, Julius will rush close to the former's vital parts and activate the ghost-man dance.

There are some pork chops that can't get in. I want to remind the two of them to take it easy. You are "circling" and don't really take care of the heavy beetle.

 The heavy beetle was angry after being beaten on the head for a while.

 A large amount of steam spurted out from all corners of its body, and at the same time, its movements also sped up a lot.

Swinging its legs and giant tail, it forced the two hunters back. The heavy beetle raised its body, preparing to release the pheromones that controlled the beetle.

 “Break it!”

"clear."

Nadia loaded the fire dragon cannon with armor-piercing grenades as quickly as possible and emptied the magazine.

A thick grenade that was passed by one by one nailed into the relatively fragile abdomen of the heavy beetle amidst the roar of artillery fire. After a short delay, it exploded.

 “Hiss—” The heavy beetle let out an angry roar.

This wave of Nadia's offensive caused serious damage to the heavy beetle, but Julius still frowned.

The armor-piercing grenade did interrupt the movement of the heavy beetle and even exploded the glands in its abdomen, but it still could not prevent the leakage and spread of the pheromone odor.

 Instead, a larger dose of pheromones was dispersed into the air.

 “Zi!”

The beetle's eyes, which were being chased by Gordon, turned blood red, and its wings were shaking like crazy. It didn't care whether it could fly or not, and crashed around uncontrollably against the ground.

Even though his legs were broken and even his intestines were dragged out from the abdominal wound, he had no intention of stopping.

Gordon couldn't get close at all, so he could only walk around cautiously. It wasn't until the guy who had lost his mind was dying that he stepped forward and gave the final blow.

 The fifth beetle, the hunt is over.

At the moment, the heavy beetle was still there, and Gordon didn't dare to start stripping it aggressively, so he shouted to Julius.

 “It’s over, you can withdraw!”

 The partners who received Gordon's signal breathed a sigh of relief.

 Finally, I no longer have to fight against the heavy beetle in its combined state.

Just when they relaxed a little and were about to retreat, a swift shadow came from a distance like a cannonball and landed directly on the back of the heavy beetle.

 The sixth Thor Beetle appears!

 After the two were combined, the abdomen of the beetle was in contact with a gland on the back of the heavy beetle, and it seemed to absorb something.

 Subsequently, it raised its abdomen and swung its body in unison with the heavy beetle beneath it, spraying out a large stream of corrosive fluid.

 Julius and Nadia quickly retreated.

However, as a swordsman, the former was too close to the heavy beetle. Even if he ran at full speed, he could not completely evacuate the coverage of the corrosive liquid.

He only had time to raise his hands to protect the exposed vital parts of his head and face, before the corrosive liquid splashed all over him.

 “Zizi.” Smoke rose from Julius’ armor.

The surface of the metal armor actually began to melt under the action of the corrosive liquid. The skin splashed by the corrosive liquid was also dissolved, and large abscesses and blood bubbles appeared around the wound.

If that's all, it doesn't matter. Those wounds look scary, but in the final analysis they are just skin wounds. They can just be dealt with afterwards.

The most terrifying thing was that the moment the corrosive liquid splashed onto his body, Julius felt that his strength disappeared all of a sudden, and his body became extremely heavy and tired, and he almost fell to the ground.

 The corrosive fluid of the Thor Beetle actually has the effect of depriving one's physical strength? !

 The companions immediately discovered the abnormality in Julius's state.

Nadia immediately turned around and opened fire, and Pork Chop also threw explosive bombs with all his strength, trying to distract the heavy beetle as much as possible.

But the heavy beetle seemed to have its sights on the target that had been harassing it for most of the day. With the full assistance of the full beetle, the combined accelerated version crashed in a straight line and rumbled forward.

 Seeing this scene, Gordon, who was running at full speed to provide support, knew it clearly.

 Under the effect of the corrosive liquid, the defensive performance of the armor was greatly reduced, and Julius would definitely not be able to withstand this blow.

 He gritted his teeth, crossed over from Julius, stood in front of the latter, and raised his sword.

This familiar scene made Julius's eyes widen.

—The young and frivolous young hunter stood in front of the terrifying creature called "Steel Dragon" and screamed without knowing whether to live or die. The wind and bullet breath came, and the master opened his arms to block him.

Gordon, who had just stabilized his defensive posture, felt a huge force coming towards him along the sword, pushing him away far away.

Using the short gap created by Gordon's desperate efforts, Julius, who barely exerted a little strength, swung his blade and turned around, sliding out of the collision range of the heavy beetle.

 He looked back in horror.

With a loud "bang", Gordon fell heavily to the ground, and there was no movement.

Ps. How many times has the protagonist blocked a knife for someone else? Why do you write me so hard? (self-complaint)
