If this were before, Lancer, having lost his weapon, could have basically called it quits. After all, compared to his spear skills, his empty-handed combat ability was only at the level of bullying ordinary people with his body attributes. But now he had another option.
He suddenly grabbed the crimson cloak wrapped around his right arm and shook it fiercely. The original cloak transformed into a crimson long spear.
Normally, Lancer should have struck a pose or done something cool at this moment, but unfortunately, before he could speak, it was clear that the monster with the Quinque still stuck in its mouth did not want to wait for him. Almost at the same time he landed on the ground, it charged at him.
Lancer, who didn't even have time to strike a pose, held the long spear horizontally in front of him with both hands...
"Rip~!"
Under the impact of the immense force, Lancer legs plowed two furrows in the ground. At the same time, the huge tail behind the other person also swept towards him.
"Whoosh~!"
Accompanied by the whistling sound of the tail cutting through the air, Lancer suddenly stepped on the monster's mouth with one foot and leaped into the air.
Looking down at the monster from mid-air, he was even more able to understand how terrifying it was, but even so, he had to win!
Weakness! Weakness! Where is the weakness?!
No! I must calm down! The more irritable one gets in a fight, the more mistakes one will make. In this situation, whoever makes a mistake is the loser!
Using the force of his fall from the air, Lancer fiercely thrust at the bone armor on the other person's back...
"Rip~!"
Accompanied by a grating sound, the long spear in his hand only left a 'strange' white mark on the bone armor.
This strike seemed to have failed, but Lancer eyes lit up instead, because he had finally found the 'key'!
That somewhat strange white mark explained one thing: there were actually cracks in the other person's seemingly strongest bone armor. Otherwise, the white mark should have gradually disappeared from being clear, instead of suddenly deepening and then becoming thinner in a certain section.
But the problem was that it was not an easy task to find cracks on these seemingly impenetrable bone armors...
Then he would search for all of them!
Holding the spear shaft with both hands, Lancer ran frantically on the monster's back as if he had gone mad.
The grating sound was incessant, and Lancer himself was full of excitement, because he had guessed correctly! That crack was not an exception. In fact, there were countless cracks distributed all over this guy's body.
After running frantically on the monster's body for almost a minute, he finally found the place he wanted to find!
The back of the monster was the most densely populated area with these cracks!
"I'll take this victory!!"
No matter how difficult the previous battle was, when it was time for victory, Lancer heart was only filled with excitement!
The stronger the enemy, the more excited he became!
'Maybe I'm a battle maniac?'
While making this strange exclamation, he tightened his grip on the long spear in his hand and thrust it fiercely into a spot where countless white marks converged!
"Crack~!"
With a sound different from before, Lancer hands once again exerted force. Subsequently, countless bone fragments flew out, and the long spear in his hand plunged directly into the other person's body.
"Roar roar!!!"
A roar more frantic than before came from the monster's mouth. Because of the other party's frantic twisting, countless blood splatters were sent flying towards Lancer. But when Lancer wasn't paying attention, the purple earring on his ear suddenly lit up with a halo, and these blood splatters quietly disappeared before they could reach Lancer.
But it was clear that Lancer didn't notice this at the moment. He just held the handle of the spear in his hand and roared.
"Alucard!!"
The cloth spear that had plunged into the monster's body suddenly 'fell apart' or rather, opened up from the spearhead. And this huge cavity even caused the body of the originally huge monster to swell by another two-tenths. But then —
"Bang!!!"
Along with a bang, an explosion suddenly came from the lower abdomen of the monster that it had been protecting all this time. Countless internal organs and flesh instantly gushed out from the opening, and the frantic twisting gradually came to a halt...
It wasn't until the monster completely stopped that Lancer finally let out a sigh of relief and sat directly on its bone armor.
"Finally... succeeded..."
"Very good. It seems you have chosen a path completely different from Cu Chulainn's."
Because Scathach had said that someone would collect those things (Big Dog: Woof woof woof?), Lancer returned directly to Scathach's castle after dealing with the monster. Scathach, who was standing at the entrance with her arms crossed, had her usual calm expression. But he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was a smile on her face?
"Can I ask how my Senior Brother won?"
Lancer was genuinely curious. This thing was simply too tough. If he hadn't found the 'weakness', he wouldn't even have known how to defeat it. So how did Cu Chulainn, who was at a similar level of strength to him, do it?
"Him? He fought with that monster for a day and a night, and wore out the other party's stamina, then he staggered over and pierced the other party's heart with a spear."
Scathach's answer made the corner of Lancer mouth twitch uncontrollably.
'Should I say it's truly Cu Chulainn? This is really a fighting style that fits his personality.'
If Lancer liked to enjoy the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, then Cu Chulainn reveled in the passion of fighting with the enemy.
"Alright, you should go rest too. The training this afternoon will be even stricter than before."
"Yes! Master!"
Looking at the somewhat tired Lancer, Scathach finally showed a real smile.
There was no doubt that Lancer performance was even better than she had expected. She had originally thought that Lancer would use his strange weapons to win.
This was not to say that Scathach thought it was bad. After all, it was the wisest choice for a weak person to use their resources reasonably when challenging a strong person. Although she advocated for brave warriors, once they failed, being brave was meaningless.
This kind of 'monster' was not uncommon in the Land of Shadows. The cracks on their bodies were caused by their own growth. Every once in a while, their size would increase, and the bone armor would also grow to adapt to this process. However, this growth was not a spontaneous change, but rather a process of self-generating cracks and then filling them.
There was no doubt that these cracks would not affect the monster itself. Most people would not even be able to distinguish them, and this was Lancer first time facing this kind of monster. Yet, he was able to find this deeply hidden 'weakness'...
"Was it an intuition? Or was it the result of observation? How interesting~ A child who hasn't yet determined his own path is always full of surprises."
Although she looked like a young woman, there was a sigh of an elder in Scathach's tone. Perhaps this was also part of her charm?
