When both confirmed that the other was their absolute enemy, a majestic killing intent and fighting spirit swept out, making the legs of all who witnessed it go soft.
Until this moment, the surrounding audience involuntarily cried out in surprise at the human who could completely be described as tiny in front of the huge monster.
"Who... who on earth is this person?!"
The previous thrust was incomparable in its bravery, but the extremely high altitude from the ground when he intercepted it was also seen by them.
No one thought this brave man could survive a free fall from such a height without any protection or cushioning methods.
But he just stood there calmly, as if what happened before was completely normal.
What was even more unexpected to everyone around was that the one gaining the upper hand in momentum was actually the human, who was tiny compared to the monster.
There were even signs of him gradually suppressing it.
On the distant spectator stands, while all the audience members, who didn't dare to breathe loudly, were shrinking back as far as possible...
Only one man was sitting in the front row holding binoculars, with not the slightest intention of moving away.
Regardless of the splashing flying rocks or the rushing gale from the shockwaves, amidst the looks from others treating him like a madman, he was like he was firmly welded to his seat, refusing to move an inch.
Thorne looked at the man and dragon in front of him with a face full of excitement. Although his legs were a bit soft and he couldn't sit steadily due to the momentum of the two, he forcibly hugged the railing in front of him with both arms so he wouldn't miss a single second before his eyes.
At the same time, amidst the looks of everyone regarding him as a crazy person, he shouted incomparably excitedly:
"Wah! I came here just to see this!"
Ignoring the surrounding noise, both the Diablos and Andrew were only firmly staring at every move of their opponent.
With the enemy right in front of them, shifting attention elsewhere would simply be joking with their own lives.
Looking at the human in front of it, a trace of cunning appeared in the Diablos's eyes.
Watching Andrew in the distance, its incomparably robust hind legs exerted force, and the Diablos once again swung its tail hammer, which was like a stone axe.
Previously, this attack, sufficient to sweep away everything in the surroundings, had smashed onto the Tower Shield Andrew held in a blocking stance.
The moment of collision, a dazzling spark splashed on the Tower Shield.
"Clang!!!"
The huge impact sound made the crowd in the distance involuntarily cover their ears, but Andrew remained immovable.
Feeling the force transmitted to his hand, Andrew couldn't help but frown slightly.
Something is wrong.
The power of this Diablos's tail swing is too light compared to those faced in the New World. Unless this is an individual that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, otherwise it can no longer be explained by so-called individual differences.
But before he had time to react, an instant change in moves arrived in front of Andrew.
Using the cover of twisting its body to swing its tail, the Diablos that turned around didn't do a double tail swing, but violently raised its upper body.
Subsequently, using the weight of its body, it violently slammed its sharp claws down.
This caught Andrew, who was still guarding against its tail hammer, somewhat off guard.
Previously, when Andrew attacked it, he borrowed the force of inertia, and now it was immediately applying what it learned.
The originally solid and regular ground shattered instantly under its heavy trample, leaving a deep footprint.
Carrying an aura to destroy everything, the incomparably sharp front claws, driven by inertia, violently swung out with a whistling sound of breaking wind, flying towards Andrew.
As if wanting to destroy everything under its claws.
It slammed down a heavy strike with all its might, swearing to directly slap this Hunter to death right here. And regarding this strike, it had full confidence.
Never had any human been able to withstand such a strike.
As long as it hits, it can definitely, certainly, absolutely blast him into dregs!
And Andrew, facing the monster's pounce, didn't dodge or evade, only placing the Tower Shield on his right hand horizontally in front of his chest.
Then, in the incomparably shocked gazes of everyone, he collided violently with the sharp claws.
"Boom!!!!"
Although the Diablos's sharp claws pressed firmly on Andrew's shield, they were countered by a similarly huge force.
But no matter how hard the Diablos tried, in its incredulous gaze, it could no longer advance a step further.
Feeling the motionless shield under its claws, the Diablos's hind legs constantly pushed against the ground, and even its originally empty left claw firmly grabbed the ground to start pressing down forcefully again.
But, it was useless.
The Diablos felt that what it was wrestling with was not some human at all, but another monster of the same body size as itself!
How is this possible?!
Clearly, that human holding the same weapon completely lost the ability to resist under just such an attack, so how can this one do it!
But no matter how much it couldn't believe it, the fact was already laid before its eyes.
The ground was letting out bursts of wailing under the wrestling of the two, while the Diablos's right claw, which was clearly pressing down madly, was slowly yet unwaveringly being pried to the side.
When the stalemate between the two reached a certain angle, the Diablos was defeated in the shocked eyes of everyone.
With its center of gravity unstable, it wasn't until it pathetically lay with all four limbs on the ground that it barely stabilized its body again.
However, Andrew was not the kind of person who would let go of an opportunity delivered to his eyes.
Facing the Diablos whose defenses were wide open, Andrew didn't wave his long lance to stab.
The Diablos's casual destruction earlier had already caused so many people to be in danger, let alone that this place could already be considered an urban area. Before coming here, who knows how much destruction it had caused.
No matter what, it was already a pure destroyer.
As a Hunter knowing all this, the multiple factors added together had successfully made Andrew hold a bellyful of fire. If he didn't ruthlessly punch it once, it would really be hard to swallow this bad breath.
His right arm made a fist and lifted violently. With the Tower Shield placed horizontally, he used that arguably sharp cross-section to smash violently towards the place on its right face where the scales had shattered before.
"Bang!!!"
An incomparably dull collision sound rang out instantly. Before the Diablos could stabilize its body, Andrew's Tower Shield had already ruthlessly smashed onto its face.
The moment the full-power shield bash hit, the Diablos's head unconsciously swung to the left.
A white solid object seemed to streak through the air.
This was the Diablos's tooth, broken by this strike.
Instantly, the Diablos involuntarily let out a painful roar, and then under Andrew's powerful strength, it involuntarily fell completely to the side.
Two consecutive heavy injuries to the same location made its brain seem to fall into a pile of paste.
Accompanied by the huge sound of falling to the ground, while everyone involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air, they even started to suspect they were in a dream.
The incomparably huge body size difference brought an unparalleled visual impact, making people subconsciously think they were perhaps having a hallucination.
As if seeing an ant directly knock down an elephant.
This could no longer be summarized by simple shock; it could even be said to be challenging people's worldview.
Unknowingly, someone had already taken out their mobile phone to record it.
Seeing the Diablos fall, Andrew didn't hesitate to directly perform a leaping thrust, ruthlessly stabbing into the Diablos's neck collar. The sharp spear tip instantly created an incomparably deep wound.
Then the head, the chest.
Although the size of the wounds could be said to be very small compared to the Diablos's huge volume, the extreme depth made their lethality only high and not low.
As the long lance was pulled out, fresh blood instantly burst out, like a small fountain, quickly leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
Looking at the bloodstains in front of him, Andrew couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
"Deep breath. Being dizzy is normal."
Regardless of what creature it is, the existence of blood is crucial.
Accompanied by the loss of blood, the hunting target's resistance ability can be quickly reduced.
This is also the most effective method to reduce the opponent's stamina during hunting.
With one strike succeeding, Andrew's next target, besides those incomparably dangerous dual horns, was the front claws that were similarly very dangerous and could support the Diablos's Dragon Rush and digging.
And undoubtedly, when the Diablos regained its senses, Andrew had already succeeded.
Feeling the pain coming from its right claw, the Diablos didn't care about dizziness anymore and immediately started waving its four limbs to prevent Andrew's approach.
But the changes that happened subsequently completely exceeded Andrew's expectations.
The next moment, the intense pain and the blood that had been spurting from the neck collar were instantly forcibly stopped under the contraction of muscles.
The intense sense of danger caused the Diablos's emotions to start surging madly.
Accompanied by the skyrocketing of its rage, driven by emotions, the blood in its body began to flow rapidly. In such a state, the Diablos's body gradually began to emit a faint red light.
At the same time, faint patterns began to emerge on the head and wings, rich in blood vessels, like the battle patterns of flames behind the statue of Acala.
Although not completely formed, some obvious outlines had already appeared.
"Roar!!!"
A furious roar. Its body temperature also rose rapidly at this moment, extremely quickly vaporizing all body fluids discharged on its body surface.
Surrounded by white steam, it was a monster composed of black and red, like an evil ghost.
Pain was thrown to the back of its mind by it at this moment. The Diablos, which had completely gone berserk, only had the enemy in front of it left.
Andrew looked at the Diablos in front of him, which was like a Saiyan entering Phase 2, and instantly raised his vigilance to the maximum. At the same time, he felt a trace of doubt about the specialness of this Diablos.
He had never seen a Diablos in such a state.
But subsequently, looking at the Diablos that had already aimed its horns at him, the familiar starting posture let Andrew know that now was not the time to analyze the state on his own.
"Gouram!"
As if understanding tacitly, as soon as Andrew's voice fell, the Gouram that was on standby at any time had already arrived by his side. The next moment, the Ether Engine acting as the energy core instantly popped out and landed in Andrew's hand.
With a gentle turn, the record being played had already changed. As the play button was pressed, Scorching Blade instantly rang out.
Passionate drum beats and violin sounds rang out. The incomparably inspiring battle song brought the same power to Andrew.
As if agreed upon, the moment the music rang out, the berserk Diablos also heavily stepped out the strides of a charge under its feet.
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The moment the heavy steps landed, a new deep pit would appear on the ground simultaneously. The injuries on its body were already completely ignored. Carrying an aura to destroy everything.
Every step of the Diablos, which had fallen completely into madness, was like stepping on everyone's hearts.
With a flick of his finger, instantly replenishing a new Ether Crystal, Andrew looked at the Diablos and immediately prepared to dodge to the side.
After all, who would clash head-on with a Dragon Rush for no reason?
It's not like he's a moron.
But just taking one step, seeing the situation behind him, Andrew involuntarily stopped again.
On the high platform the Diablos was directly facing, countless ordinary people were shrinking together. At the very front were some young people with determined faces using their own bodies to block the possible incoming harm.
But the berserk Diablos wouldn't stop its footsteps because of that selfless spirit on the high platform.
And if they were to face the Dragon Rush directly, the final result was simply self-evident.
Thinking of all this, Andrew couldn't help but grit his teeth ruthlessly.
"Fine, a moron it is!"
Watching the rapidly approaching Diablos, Andrew stopped his footsteps and unhesitatingly placed the Tower Shield horizontally in front of his chest, squatting slightly to make a posture to prevent impact.
Such a hasty block simply didn't allow time to accumulate power and adjust posture, so amidst the exclamations of the surrounding people, Andrew was sent flying without surprise.
"Bang!"
His back and the wall of the high platform came into ruthless intimate contact under the Diablos's powerful force. The originally crumbling high platform instantly became even more precarious after receiving this impact.
But no one said a word of blame.
After all, if not for Andrew blocking, the ending here facing the Diablos's Dragon Rush would only be the result of collapse.
After subconsciously coughing out the blood accumulated in his chest, Andrew felt the chest tightness caused by the huge impact relieved a lot.
Relying on this estimate just now, the strength of the Diablos in this state could definitely be said to have doubled.
The Diablos, which also felt like it had crashed into an iron block, had also been successfully intercepted by Andrew. It couldn't help but shake its head on the spot to recover.
But the Diablos in a berserk state had already lost its reason, becoming a monster that would defeat the opponent at all costs.
So it directly ignored all the damage from the Dragon Rush just now. After accumulating power slightly, it unhesitatingly charged fearlessly towards Andrew again.
Andrew looked at the Diablos in front of him, his expression grave.
Behind him was the high wall, and in front of him was the completely crazy berserk Diablos. Andrew didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
Watching the dust behind the Diablos when it charged, Andrew squatted almost completely this time. The shield lying horizontally in front of him instantly emitted a gloomy light.
But even with the Power Guard which had the strongest defensive power, Andrew's heart was a little uncertain.
After all, although he could block the Diablos, the high platform behind him was already crumbling so much that even if it was affected by the shockwave, it would be hard to escape the fate of collapse.
But apart from this, Andrew couldn't think of other methods.
Just as the Diablos's charge started again, Astra Yao on the floating platform in the sky now gently placed her hand on the Hemiola.
Although there was only one record, as the composer, Astra Yao directly gave all the musicians the score belonging to her in a short time.
The next moment, the music and the Ether Engine rang out in sync.
