Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1319 1291. Moonlight Sword
Lan En looked at the long sword in his right hand with a strange expression. The sword had an elegant and noble shape and a graceful curve.

[Arondite], Sword of the Lady of the Lake.

The blade was adjusted and strengthened by Lady Galadriel during Lann's adventures through the World of Arda.

The original design of this knife was passed down to Lady Galadriel by Aulë, the God of Forge, as a teaching aid, and was also learned by the Lady of the Lake.

Lady Galadriel's adjustments eliminated even the last bit of disharmony in the shape of the sword, making it truly worthy of the title of [God-made Weapon].

More importantly, during this process, the knife was infused with the Light of the Two Trees preserved in the Silmaril.

The three Silmarils are the most precious treasures in the world of Arda. They are pure and flawless, and even the fourteen Valar and Vali are amazed.

Even Morgoth, the first dark enemy of the world of Arda, would be burned by this light and suffer unbearable pain just by touching it.

It can be said that this light is the nemesis of all evil.

When using [Secret Teachings: One Heart] just now, Lan En had originally intended to activate the [Light of the Twin Trees] on the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, infusing each air blade with this sacred, evil-destroying light.

but now
Aarondite's appearance is still noble and elegant, the curve is still graceful and smooth, and the blade is still sharp and shiny.

But this knife no longer had that layer of holy light that was faint and bright, as if reflected by the morning light.

——【The Light of the Twin Sacred Trees】disappeared.

Lan En clearly didn't know what was going on, but he didn't feel anxious or helpless.

After failing to activate the [Light of the Twin Sacred Trees], he completed the receiving posture in the next instant.

During the brief moment when he was directly knocked away by Ludwig's counterattack, Lan En felt the strange changes in his emotions and the inner power of the god-made weapon in his hand.

My heart is very calm, and there is still a sacred and pure power in Arondite. In summary, it is not that I 'can't' activate the [Light of the Twin Trees], but that I subconsciously don't want to activate it?

The moment this strange idea came to mind, Lan immediately asked Mentos for confirmation.

"Hormone levels are normal, [Gene Seed] regulation ability is online, [Holy Gland] is normal, and psychological status assessment is being conducted. No abnormalities."

Before being knocked into the air and landing on the ground, the biochemical intelligent brain had already completed the physical and psychological examination of the subject.

The monitoring data will also be kept on file and available for the subject to review and self-analyze at any time.

"Sir, according to my analysis," Mentos said methodically in his mind, "this may still be related to the small piece of memory that you lost and that I sealed away."

The heavily armored boots scraped against the rocky ground submerged in a pool of blood, stirring up a wave of blood before stopping.

Lan En casually twirled the long sword in his hand, creating a gorgeous sword flower dance.

"I don't want to use the [Light of the Twin Trees]. Or rather, I don't want to use it now."

Lan En was thinking to himself, especially focusing on the word 'now'.

His previous brief amnesia and the sealed data of Mentos both indicate that this was his own decision.

And did I decide at that time to temporarily hide the ability of [Light of the Two Sacred Trees]?

If that was the case, Lan En already had some vague guesses about the decision he made during the brief period of memory loss.

“It’s too tricky.”

I didn't understand what the complicated expression of the stranger next to me meant, but Maria had already said so in her cold and calm voice.

"Ludwig's level of lycanthropy is so severe, I have never seen it before!"

"Is this why the Church Hunters use their special weapons?"

In the Healing Church of Yharnam, church hunters have developed an equipment route that is different from that of ordinary hunters.

Although they still adhere to the high-speed combat style pioneered by [First Hunter] Gehman, their weapons are heavier and more gigantic.

Mark's church stone hammer weighing at least one ton and the transformed greatsword on Ludwig's back are both products of this equipment route.

It is precisely because of this fundamental difference that Ludwig, as the pioneer of this equipment route, can be called the "First Hunter of the Church."

Heavier weapons bring greater lethality, obviously, this is to deal with more terrifying beasts.

The Ludwig in front of him, who had already fallen into bestiality, was obviously the 'more terrifying beast'!
"Hoo-ah! Ha~ha~"

Like a mad donkey, Ludwig's long face was propped up on the ground to try to stand up, while he was braying and making all kinds of weird noises.

On the other side, beneath the messy and dense scars on its body that were inflicted by [Secret Teaching: One Heart], densely packed eyeballs were moving, showing through the black fur and flesh.

But then, it was covered up by the rapidly regenerating body.

"Our knife is too short and too small. We can't cut its body cleanly. For its regenerative ability, not cutting it off is not a loss at all."

Maria frowned, but still spoke calmly.

"We need a more explosive attack."

When standing upright, it is about the same height as the New World Savannah, which is an absolute behemoth compared to the size of a normal human.

Only weapons of the church that are specialized in heavy lethality are suitable for this kind of combat target. "Yes." Lan En agreed with Maria's statement, but then the demon hunter blinked blankly and looked at the blood noble beside him.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

It’s no wonder that Lan En didn’t react. After all, Maria’s posture was really abnormal.

After saying "a more explosive attack is needed", [Fallen Leaves] was split into two blades, a long and a short one, and Maria held them in her hands with the blades facing inwards, facing herself.

It looked like it was going to stab into his chest and abdomen!
But Maria's expression remained calm.

"A secret method. My blood will make the blade longer and stronger. A large amount of blood will also make the blade..."

"And then you used the blood collection bottle to heal yourself?" Lan En interrupted her speechlessly before she could finish. "At this moment? Are you kidding?"

As he spoke, Lan En gently kicked out a small splash of blood in the pool of blood under his feet.

The meaning is clear: in this outbreak of beast disease that is about to destroy all of Yharnam, do you still want to use blood collection bottles?

Thanks to her previous experience with Lan, Maria no longer has any trust in the Healing Church.

Both for the clergy in the healing church and for the mottos and doctrines they preach.

The most important and fundamental doctrine of the Healing Church is the sacredness of [blood healing] and its powerful efficacy as a panacea.

Maria frowned, but ultimately did not insert the split [fallen leaves] into her chest.

And Lan En also shook his head.

Maria wouldn't risk using blood to strengthen her blade at this time, but things had to be solved one way or another.

"I'll do it."

As he spoke, the witcher put the Sword of the Lady of the Lake back into the scabbard at his waist, but reached back into the alchemical leather bag.

"you?"

Under the tricorn hat with swan feathers, the Blood Noble glanced at the demon hunter beside him in surprise.

Although wearing heavy armor is strange enough in Yharnam, where else can he put a 'more explosive' weapon when wearing heavy armor?!

Just as Maria was wondering, Lan En slowly pulled out a sword handle from the opening of the alchemical leather bag at his waist.

As for weapons to deal with giant creatures, in Lan En's armament sequence, this position is undoubtedly reserved for [Turbid Flow·Destruction].

But since Lan En didn't dare to let the greedy big sword eat something unclean in Yharnam, this option naturally didn't need to be considered.

But after adventuring in so many worlds, the witcher is not without other things in stock.

"Although I haven't used it much, I can still grasp the shape of it."

Lan En muttered to himself as he drew out a huge sword while Maria's eyes widened and became stunned.

Gorgeous yet dark handle, simple sword guard.

But under the sword guard was a huge blue-green sword body that was shaped like a leek leaf and had a crystal-like texture!
【Moonlight Greatsword】!
Back in the Fire World's Holy Fire City of Lothric, Lan En once killed the demon king Osloais, who had gone mad because of the dragon transformation experiment.

Got his great soul.

Later, at the Firelink Shrine, Lord of Fire Rhodos used this great soul as raw material and soul refining technology to obtain this sword.

Rumor has it that this sword is related to the knowledge of the White Dragon Hiss, a traitor among the immortal ancient dragons during the Ancient Dragon War in the Fire World.

It is a weapon whose power increases with the knowledge and wisdom of its wielder.

Logically speaking, characters like warlocks and mages should be more suitable for this weapon.

But on the one hand, Lan En was quite confident in his knowledge, and there were really no warlocks or mages around him who could use this thing.

Secondly, the knowledge of the white dragon Hiss is too dangerous.

As the Holy King of Lothric in the Fire World, Osloais's power, prestige, and experience are unmatched.

He presided over the fire transmission ceremony for tens of thousands of years.

Even in the White Church belief of the Fire World, his status among the gods is almost that of the main god.

But he would still drive himself into a madman because of his in-depth study of the knowledge of the White Dragon Hiss.

Among the people Lan En knew, no one was qualified to have access to this dangerous knowledge and remain normal.

Neither Tishaya nor Hen Gedimitis could do it, let alone Margarita or Triss.

So Lan En could only use it himself.

The dark blue-green sword was carried on Lan En's shoulder after being pulled out of the alchemical leather bag.

The heavy sword blade pressed against the shoulder armor, and the armor plates made a layered sound, and the feeling of transferring the pressure to the body made the warrior feel comfortable.
