Cluster hunting, a common combat method for Abyssal Hunters.
The Hunters attack en masse, facing enemies thousands or hundreds of times larger than themselves. A group of long-legged Hunter sisters charge forward, fearless and unyielding, swinging their weapons and dicing the Seaborn into sashimi one by one... It's a truly exhilarating thought, and Goki, who had never hunted monsters with other Hunters before—at most only cleared out his own doorstep with Sister Crow—felt particularly envious.
However, Skadi later corrected the romanticized image in Goki's mind.
Their battle scenes usually took place hundreds of meters deep in the abyssal sea, the ocean filled with the red blood of their own kind and the blue blood of their enemies, with tentacles and muscle tissue flying everywhere, utterly devoid of beauty.
After hacking up Seaborn and returning home, their entire bodies would be marinated in the putrid blood, and even hours of bathing wouldn't wash it clean.
On land, Skadi's process of cutting down foes was very enjoyable. No matter how many demons and monsters she slew, her body wouldn't be stained with blood, and her skin would never wrinkle from soaking in highly saline seawater. This made her very enthusiastic about fighting on land.
And now, after two months of pent-up energy, she finally had an excellent opportunity to unleash it—
"Roar—!"
In front of the Rhine Lab building, a giant, blue-bodied, big-headed doll, over fifty meters tall, was letting out a greedy roar towards the only breach in the building's interior.
Although she had entered a materialized state, she still remained invisible to ordinary people. They could only see the freely falling raindrops suddenly encountering some invisible obstruction, outlining a giant "blank" in the rain curtain.
Her eyes glared at the two—Goki and Ifrit. Although she had no capacity for thought, the hidden entity that gave her commands, assigned her duties, and bestowed upon her power and meaning of existence, was drooling over these two shining beacons.
In her view, the previous losses were almost negligible, but the two tempting delicacies before her were irresistible—as long as she devoured them, her master would escape this dangerous world and achieve Rebirth in the Universe.
"Ugh, you want to eat me... I'm not afraid of you!"
Inside the building, Ifrit, hiding behind Silence and Ptilopsis, instantly understood what this alien-looking ghostly thing was thinking, and instinctively flinched.
However, this young Sarkaz, fearless like a newborn calf, quickly gathered her courage and glared back at the big blue eyes, the flames on the tip of her tail burning exceptionally bright.
She now had a desire, a desire to fight.
Bang—
The next second, the giant hand that the Celestial Envoy extended towards Ifrit was directly kicked back by a dark shadow, even smashing into her own face.
A mechanical greatsword, glowing with three red lights, easily sliced through skin tough enough to deflect bullets, embedding itself into the Celestial Envoy's arm.
Skadi's size was, at most, that of a small bug in front of the Celestial Envoy, but... she was the bug that all Seaborn feared.
Skadi's Hunter uniform danced wildly in the storm, her expression returning to that of a cold and ruthless Hunter. Where her feet landed, the ground directly caved in.
The pale blue membrane shattered instantly. The Spell protection on the Celestial Envoy's epidermis was useless against Skadi's brute force, and Aegir Materials could even disrupt the composition of Originium Arts.
An unimaginable force directly smashed back the Celestial Envoy's attack. Even Goki felt Skadi's monstrous strength was incredibly exaggerated, but the fact was, no living creature's strength had ever surpassed hers.
This was another ruthless hunt, but unlike the past, Skadi was not acting out of duty, nor out of hatred for her family, but more out of... interest.
"Goki!!!"
The mechanical sword emerged from one side of the Celestial Envoy's arm, pinning her to the Celestial Envoy's shoulder, leaving one side of this giant monster completely defenseless.
"Roar!!!"
Whether from pain or anger, this irrational monster instantly extended countless shimmering tentacles from within her body, shooting directly towards Skadi.
Those were tentacles filled with Originium energy, rich with the power of the starry sky. Simply waving them left Originium energy radiation in the air, and the tentacles at her feet even extended directly into the nearby temporary power station—a place where workers needed to wear Advanced hazmat suits for inspection!
Originium energy, the power of a Great One, evidence that the two are inseparable, was well demonstrated here.
Dense, flashing tentacles shot out, binding towards Skadi. Each strike had the power equivalent to a considerable Originium Art.
