Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1324 1296. Rest in peace

In the process of using [Tachi Technique], Lan En has already raised his fighting spirit activity to the limit through [Air Blade Upgrade]. This is true.

However, the skills of the hunters in the New World are not rigid at all. In other words, they would not be able to survive if they were rigid when facing powerful monsters in nature.

It is true that the activity of fighting spirit has been raised to its peak, but this does not mean that [Seeing Cut] cannot be used.

While feeling external pressure and responding sensitively, all moves are still connected smoothly and can be used freely. This is the core concept of "Tachi Technique" among the fourteen weapon techniques of the New World Survey Group.

A light red flame of fighting spirit flashed past.

The strong energy gathered on Ludwig's moonlight sword was unable to touch his body due to Lan En's keen reaction of fighting spirit.

The enemy's strongest attack has just passed, and now is the time when the defense is at its weakest!

On the ice blue leek-leaf-shaped sword blade, a layer of light red fighting energy flows actively and endlessly!

【Moonlight Rapids】!

"Buzz!"

Because of the power control, the movement was much smaller than Ludwig's moves, but at the same time, the flow of light was much faster, passing by in a flash!

The surging light stream hit Ludwig from the side of his body!

Ludwig was still in the moment where his body was temporarily empty and stiff after he had just slashed the sword that gathered a lot of energy.

So I didn't even have a chance to shake it, so I just ate it.

But it's not over yet.

Through a short period of familiarity and mastery, Lan En successfully reduced the output of [Moonlight Torrent] to squeeze out more time, not just for this moment!

"bass!"

Immediately following the flow of energy and light is the ice blue sword body, with the outer edge of the blade covered with a layer of light red fighting spirit!

[Air Blade Stab]!

The leek-leaf-shaped crystal blade, with the sharp sound of the fighting energy on the blade shaking the air, followed by the [Moonlight Torrent] that reduced its output and pierced Ludwig's side!

At this time, even the [First Hunter of the Church], who had transformed into a beast to this extent, could not help but let out a dull scream from his mouth that had been distorted by the disease!

"ah!"

The sound was like a donkey neighing and a horse braying, after all, it was no longer like what a human throat could produce.

Even if he regains his will through the moonlight, the physical distortion will always exist objectively.

However, Lan En's expression did not fluctuate due to this.

His attack is not over yet, [Air Blade Stab] is just a pre-movement for the next stage.

And the next stage is.

"Tap tap" twice! The strong muscles drove the body and armor, stepping on the uneven edges of Ludwig's beastly body, Lan En jumped directly to the height of Ludwig's head during the sprint!

Immediately after falling, the body that stretched into a big bow suddenly retracted, straightened the sword blade and slashed down!

[Water-Shaped Sword·Dragon Sword]!

The knife penetrated the eyeball and mouthparts on the side of Ludwig's neck and slashed straight down! The crystal blue ice-blue blade brought up a wave of dirty blood and cut it out from the side of a long horse leg on the right lower abdomen!

With a "stab" sound, blood was gushing out, and at the same time, the surrounding air was also accelerating.

"呲"*7!

The active fighting energy flowing back and forth on the blade like saw teeth was compressed into this sword and exploded from the enemy's wound seven times!

The fighting spirit activity was thus reduced to [Yellow Blade].

But in fact, even [Yellow Blade] is not necessary.

Because it's over.

Fighting energy exploded in the wound seven times in a row, and the already ferocious gap suddenly became even more messy.

But the high-pressure air flowing crazily towards the wound, like a triggered tide, made Ludwig stiffen upright.

The hole made by this sword was already too big.

And as Ludwig's stiff body was shaken by the high-pressure airflow, the hole continued to grow!

In Lan En's hands, the second [Moonlight Torrent] is also ready.

"Buzz!"

The bright stream of light appeared again, but this time it was released at close range and at full power!

In the crystal-like sword body, the complex magic patterns shone with ice-blue light.

"ah!!"

Ludwig screamed uncontrollably, and there was the sound of a horse or donkey snorting.

The stream of light rushed in from the huge wound and went straight into the beast-turned-body.

And this time Lan En firmly grasped the hilt of the sword and made a horizontal stroke!

A 'stab' sound!

Ludwig's horse-shaped head and half of his shoulders fell off his body.

It hit the wet ground with a 'bang'.

Because of his sword that cracked the ground, the blood in the blood pool began to flow into the cracks.

The deformed, huge and heavy body also collapsed amid the chaotic kicking of seven or eight horse hooves and nervous convulsions.

As the blue moonlight sword fell from his hand, it was stuck on the ground again, and gradually shrank, lost its light, and returned to the half-sword-like appearance of a hand wrapped with a cloth strip.

"." Amidst the flow of the blood pool and the slight trembling of the huge body, Lan En was silent for a while. He raised his moonlight sword and broke away from the tense posture of the battle.

"If you were still in human form, you would perform better than you did just now."

After the demon hunter was silent, he approached the head that he had just chopped off, lowered his head and said regretfully.

Ludwig's head had been deformed so much that it looked like a horse, so that after the head fell off, only one side of his face could be turned up to the sky, while the other side could only be pressed on the ground.

Strands of black hair were stuck to his face because they were stained with blood.

The skin on the face was also stretched into a twisted shape due to the deformity of the skull.

Even on the upward side of the face, the skin has been torn apart by the bones, and only the twisted muscles are exposed.

"But if it's just a human body, how can I face your moonlight?" The eyes on Ludwig's head were not looking at Lan En.

He is the [Church’s number one hunter], he has experienced too much [blood therapy], and the quality of his blood is too high.

After transforming into a beast, even if only one head was left, he could not die peacefully.

Those morbid vitality seemed to want to see his painful and twisted appearance, constantly extending his life.

In fact, his eyes were not looking anywhere, they were just vacant, and his pupils were not even focused.

"You also have moonlight, so you must have seen it, right? That light like a thin string?"

"It was as thin and fleeting as a hair, but I was surrounded by it when I was in the stench of blood and beasts, and it was at that time that I caught it."

Lan En inserted his moonlight sword in front of him, stacked his hands on the weighted ball at the end of the sword hilt, and listened quietly to this glorious hunter.

The last murmur after the end of the fight to the death after being transformed into a beast and regaining oneself.

The demon hunter's expression is solemn, and the armor on his body is angular, heavy and majestic.

"I never thought about discovering its true identity."

"Really, never thought about it."

"As long as it still guides me and accompanies me, that's enough."

In the end, it was as if the lycanthropy had not let go of him.

Even though there was only one head left, his remaining muscles were still twitching, and his mouth involuntarily made a harsh sound like a horse neighing and a donkey braying.

Lan En listened quietly to these harsh sounds until Ludwig stopped himself.

After the horse's neighing and the donkey's braying finally stopped, there was a brief moment of gasping for breath.

". Kind-hearted hunters." Ludwig's head suddenly spoke again, "In the days to come, will the hunters of my church be the glorious warriors I expect?"

Lan En raised his eyes slightly: "Are you awake?"

This "awakening" does not mean waking up from the madness of lycanthropy. Rather, it refers to the so-called ‘future days’ in Ludwig’s mouth.

If he didn't realize that he was living in a nightmare from the past and that real time had flowed forward, then Ludwig had no reason to ask Lan En such a question.

So what Lan En refers to as "awakeness" here refers to the "awakeness" that is not confused by the time in the dream like the crow hunter Erin and Simon.

"Only this time. Only this time I can see the bright moonlight again."

"My last blow killed the child of Kos. This sin is too serious, and the curse is too deep."

In other words, was it you who struck the final blow that killed the Son of God?

Lan En looked down at Ludwig's head, which was already numb and unconscious on the ground.

So this move is indeed worthy of bearing the heavy curse of the Son of God.

"Your Church Hunters"

Having said this, Lan En pursed his lips.

In fact, in the 'future' Yanan, he only came into contact with a hunter wearing church hunter clothing, who claimed to be a member of the executioners.

Thinking of Alfred, on that hunting night, in the crazy and **** atmosphere of the whole city, he gave himself a stack of [fire paper] as a greeting gift.

[Firepaper] itself is not precious, what is precious is the person who will lend a helping hand even on a hunting night.

"Yes." Lan En replied sincerely. "I was helped by church hunters."

"Ah, that's great." Ludwig let out a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, "I feel relieved."

"Knowing this, even if I suffer such a curse and commit such a cruel act, it is not completely meaningless."

"Thank you, kind hunter."

"Now, I can sleep peacefully. And I will give you my moonlight."

"Even in the darkest night, I can see the moonlight."

Ludwig's voice became softer and softer, and finally it even came close to sounding like he was talking in his sleep.

But the exposed muscles on his side face were still twitching.

[Blood Therapy] and animal transformation still refused to let him die.

Lan En also shook his head after a period of silence.

He did not tell Ludwig the truth about the Healing Church.

He was too tired and in too much pain. It was time for the nightmare to end.

And those who are trapped in nightmares should rest in peace.

Lan En turned around and left, pulling out the moonlight sword that belonged to Ludwig.
