Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1310 1282. Red Eyes

Henrik was somewhat thankful when he pulled the trigger of the hunter's musket.

Although he didn't understand what was happening now, fortunately, he had just replaced the mercury bullet, and the muzzle of the gun was already pressed against the head of the lycanthropic patient.

A flash of gunfire, no matter what.

However, before the joy in the young hunter's heart faded away, shock followed!

"Ouch!"

He did hit the lycanthropic patient in front of him, but on the one hand, he underestimated the vitality of patients with severe lycanthropy, and on the other hand, he underestimated the limb deformities caused by this rapid transformation.

The lycanthropic patient in front of me, who had maintained the basic human appearance just now, now had the outline of his skull stretched forward, close to that of a wolf!

Henrik's shot only hit the tip of the opponent's upper jaw due to this skull distortion.

Its upper jaw and part of its nose were completely broken!

For a normal beast, this kind of injury is basically equivalent to being unable to survive, but Yanan's beast has never been normal.

The lycanthrope who transformed into a wolf's head was shot and half of his upper jaw was broken off.

But it is still fierce and violent!

With one paw on the ground, he was about to pounce towards Henryk, who had just fired a shot and had not yet withdrawn his arm.

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from behind Henrik, and then his body was pushed aside.

The lycanthropic patient who bit him did bite something and made a 'click' sound.

But that's not human flesh and blood, it's the flamethrower in Mark's hand!

At the critical moment, Mark could only push Henryk aside. Due to his position, the hand he pushed with was the hand holding the one-handed sword.

So only the flamethrower can be used.

The flamethrower, which was like an enlarged version of the iron perfume bottle, was directly thrust into the mouth of the lycanthropic patient with half of his upper jaw broken off!

Bone stubble and sharp teeth still hurt Mark's hand through the gloves.

But the church hunter just frowned, and with the strange squeezing sound of metal and teeth, he suddenly pressed the trigger of the flamethrower.

High-temperature flames exploded from the beast's mouth, and the orange-red fire spread along the hollow and skinny body, and finally spurted out from the exposed ribs of the lycanthropic patient!

The beast whimpered and roared under the flames, its muffled voice sounding like a human being but also like a beast.

But it is this ambiguous state between the two that makes people feel even more disgusting and frightened.

Henrik, who had just been pushed away, immediately dodged at high speed and approached again after standing firm.

The saw blade in his hand struck the beast's still burning waist with the sound of saw teeth and bones cutting, and the mechanism of the transforming weapon started to operate.

There was a 'click', sparks flashed, and the force of the meat saw's expansion was superimposed on the hunter's swing of the knife.

[Transformation Slash] Cut the beast in half directly!

Then Henryk quickly raised the hunter's musket and pointed it at the lycanthropic patient's head with a 'bang'!

The upper body of the lycanthropic patient whose head was blown off by the mercury bullet released his mouth from biting Mark's hand and the flamethrower. The body fell to the ground with a thud.

"hiss!"

Because the body fell directly to the ground, Mark took a breath of air as his hand and flamethrower were pulled directly from the other person's mouth.

Not only were his hands scratched by bone stubble and teeth, but he also had burns on his hands caused by using a flamethrower in a narrow space at close range.

The leather gloves on his body and the windbreaker on his forearms were burned by the flames and stuck to his skin.

But it's not a big deal.

Henrik shook off the entangled flesh and hair on the saw blade, took out a blood collection bottle from under his windbreaker and plunged it into Mark's body.

"What the **** is going on."

Henrik, who was still frightened, cursed in a low voice, raised his head at the same time, and glanced at Yanan outside the alley in surprise.

The roars of wild beasts are still echoing and show no sign of diminishing.

"have no idea."

The precious blood collection bottle was emptied and shattered on the wet stone tile floor. Mark couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment and raised his head and said.

But he quickly returned to his usual cold expression, and tore off the gloves and sleeves that were burned with dead skin, and asked seriously.

"And have you seen anything like that about the lycanthropic patient just now? I mean its eyes."

"Never seen it before." Henrik answered without any hesitation, as if this question was a no-brainer. "I've never heard of a lycanthropic patient whose eyes glow red and can leave an afterimage of light in the darkness when he shakes his head!"

"And in the blink of an eye, the condition has developed to such a serious level. Is this some kind of scary story?"

Ghost stories.

Mark had no words, just Henrik's words echoing in his mind.

The young man who had recently joined the ranks of church hunters walked out to the entrance of the alley and stood with his friends, looking at Yanan, who was still roaring from wild beasts everywhere, and turned from dead silence to chaos.

In the originally dark night sky with only the full moon above, orange-red firelight now appeared in many directions.

That's not some strange celestial phenomenon. The fire comes from the ground and shines into the sky. It's a fire!

In Yanam, fire is a common disaster.

After all, beasts are afraid of fire, and the Yannan people, who have been troubled by lycanthropy since ancient times, will nervously store flammable materials at home, hoping to ward off lycanthropic patients who may break in.

It seemed that he would rather be burned to death than die at the hands of a lycanthropic patient.

But the fire has developed so obviously in a short period of time. What is the church doing?

Regardless of the weakness of the Good Golden Cup Church, in Mark’s mind, the Healing Church should also step in and take control at this time. This night might actually be scarier than a ghost story.

Inexplicably, this absurd idea came to Mark's mind.

“Where are the sources of so many fires?!”

Henrik said muffledly under the mask.

"I don't know." Mark said as he checked his flamethrower and found that the fuel tank was a little deflated. "But it's time for us to rescue people. Find the nearest source of fire and wild beasts first, and let's go."

The cold night fog on the ground seemed to have disappeared as soon as it was illuminated by the fire, and the young hunters quickly walked out of the alley.

Only the corpses of the lycanthropic patients were left, and the stinking blood made the stone tile floor even more damp.

—

Mark and Henrik are not fools. They can already understand from the first lycanthropic patient who mutated after the weird silence that something terrible must have happened to Yanan now. .

But even if they exhausted the imagination of the two young hunters, they would never have imagined that things would develop to this point.

"breathe!"

Henrik yelled under the mask, while stretching his palms back to make a downward pressure gesture.

"Lean down and keep breathing, otherwise you will choke to death!"

Behind him were a group of citizens still wearing pajamas or simply shirtless.

These people were as panicked and frightened as newborn chicks. So much so that even if he followed the 'ominous' hunter, he wouldn't complain at all.

Mark is at the end of the team, acting as a backstop.

How did things happen? How did things become like this?

In the eyes sandwiched by a line between the three-cornered hat and the mask, even with the calm indifference of the Yharnam hunter, there was an overflowing panic at this time.

This unknown fire point burned too big and burned too fast.

And until now, no one has come forward to take care of the matter!

Forget about the good Gold Cup Church, which had long ago collapsed under the attack of gray blood disease, what about the Healing Church?

Didn’t they say that Yanan would be better managed? !

"Boom~bang!"

On both sides of the street, blazing flames stirred the air, followed by an ear-splitting explosion!

Henrik first held his head with his arms, and then waited for the explosive noise to pass before looking up.

On the third floor of the building on the street, the masonry exterior walls bulged outward due to the impact of the internal explosion.

Without even thinking about it, the residents there must have placed a lot of powerful combustibles in their rooms.

Outside of Yanan, this kind of person is a lunatic and a dangerous person. But in Yanam, this is normal.

Henrik turned around and nodded to Mark at the end of the line, indicating that there was no problem.

Yes, spreading fires and sudden deflagrations are dangerous, but they are not serious problems for the hunters' superhuman physiques and reactions.

What's really serious is

"Hey, are you okay? The explosion is over, we have to get through here quickly. Hurry up!"

Among the people rescued by the two young hunters, a fat woman wearing a lace nightcap on her head kindly asked a girl next to her while following Henryk.

The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. She seemed to be frightened by the explosion. Even now that everyone had moved on, she was still holding her head in her hands, trembling all over, and muttering something in a low voice.

The fat woman approached her, apparently wanting to pat her on the shoulder or hug her, using her movements to soothe her panic.

But Mark, who was at the end of the team, suddenly shouted in the flickering light and shadow of the flames.

"Don't come near her! Stay away!"

Before even finishing the sentence 'stay away from her', the girl who was still huddled together, as if frightened, suddenly threw her head up and screamed.

But the sound was not ordinary. The sound of the girl screaming in fright was the scream of a beast!

"Ouch!!"

The mutation was completed in a very short period of time. Thick black hair grew explosively on the girl's body, and her body was stretched and twisted amidst the heartbreaking sound of bone deformation.

In the process, the flesh on her body was even squeezed into minced meat and blood foam, and a burst of blood-red mist burst out while she howled!

Everything happened so fast.

There was no warning and no time for reaction.

The lycanthropic patients among the crowd went from looking no different from normal people to entering the advanced stage of lycanthropy in the blink of an eye!

It howled, and like tearing apart a bunch of paper dolls, tore up all the people around it in just a wave of its hand!

Mark, who is behind the team, will rush over at this time.

"monster!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, while the one-handed sword in his hand was inserted back into the handle of the hammer behind his back.

The muscles in both hands swelled, and the stone hammer made a muffled sound of "Boom!!" and directly hammered the upper body of the lycanthropic patient to the ground after killing everyone.

The stone pavement in Yanan was smashed by Mark's hammer, creating a depression that radiated with spider web-like cracks.

As for the lycanthropic patient who had just turned into a beast, his sticky flesh and black hair were now stuck to the hammer surface of the stone hammer.
