Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1328 1300. Lawrence

The Demon Hunter's advanced [Alder Seal] directly clears out a large open space at the entrance of the cathedral.

The hunters who were frantically killing four people were at least staggered for a while under this indiscriminate circular shock wave, even if they did not fall down like the old hunter in front of Lan En.

The originally chaotic and bloody scene suddenly became a brief moment of silence.

But just as Lan was executing an old hunter who was knocked to the ground by the [Alder Seal], a figure in a wide bachelor's robe suddenly rushed over from an inconspicuous corner of the cathedral.

His figure was no slower than any old hunter, so much so that even his bachelor's robe was filled with wind as he ran. The cloth made a whirring sound and rushed past Lan En's side towards the church gate.

There seemed to be something tightly wrapped in his bachelor's robe.

Lan En didn't know who this was at first.

After all, he had never seen this scholar before. He just felt familiar with the standard scholar's robe of Byronvis on him, and was surprised that this scholar's robe appeared in the Healing Church.

It seemed that the other party was heading straight for the entrance of the cathedral, without any hostility towards others.

So he rushed past Lan En without any hostility, and did not provoke a conditioned reflex reaction from the witcher.

But right after that, when the gloomy man in scholar's robe passed by him two or three steps behind him.

"Suck~"

The demon hunter's nostrils flared and his eyes suddenly widened!
The smell of blood was fishy and sticky, and it was an abrupt smell even in this scene where blood was already all over the ground. It was detected by his keen sense of smell.

The smell of blood was foul and repulsive to his nose, as he had never been injected with the sacred blood.

But to the noses of the Yharnam people, it is absolutely sweet and refreshing!

This smell is familiar even to Lan En. This smell of blood is...
"It's the blood of the superior! Sir!" Mentos instantly retrieved Lan's olfactory memory and immediately gave the answer. "The body of Kos's orphan is wrapped in his robe!"

Ever since Lawrence and everyone in the cathedral went crazy because of the blood of the Son of God, Miklash decisively cut off the half of the Son of God's body that was not pressed by Lawrence's claws and wanted to evacuate.

But in the suddenly chaotic church, there is Lawrence, who has become the first clergy beast in history.

There are also many old hunters and scholars who have gone mad.

Although Miklash's skills were considered average even among Yharnam hunters, he was a researcher after all, not a warrior.

All of a sudden, everything was in chaos. It was true that he would not be caught in a short time, so he hid in the cathedral for a long time, but he had no time to escape.

But now, this intruder has definitely cleared a path!

As long as I can get out. As long as I can get out.!

Miklash hugged the skinny and sticky half of the corpse tightly in his robe. The madness in his eyes was probably no better than that of the old hunters.

The demon hunter swung the blade, and the cloth strips wrapped around the [Holy Moonlight Sword] flew up.

Seeing that Lan En was about to charge, he stepped forward and grabbed the man holding his target.

But just as his hand was halfway extended, the witcher stopped abruptly, and the dragon scales on his boots scraped against the marble floor, making a harsh noise.

Instead, he rushed deeper into the cathedral!
It’s not that he didn’t want the body of the Son of God, but now, he clearly saw half of a strange and bizarre corpse lying on the stone table deep in the cathedral!
That is also the body of the Son of God!

More importantly, as if seeing Miklash's escape, even though he had already sunk into an extremely serious bestial state, Lawrence's madness suddenly soared!

It began to smash and bang things around violently, and flames seemed to burst out from its body endlessly!

It was about to hit the stone table where the body of the Son of God was!
Even if someone ran away with half of the Son of God's body, at least we can find it back.

If the body of the Son of God was smashed and burned by Lawrence's claws, it would be too late to say anything!

The instant decisions and trade-offs, as well as the subsequent plans, were instantly formed in Lan's mind with the help of Mentos and were executed.

"Boom" sound!
Lan's heavy body and the force of his armor pressed directly onto one of his feet, firmly stepping on the calf of a mad old hunter!
The old hunter was just knocked off balance by the upgraded [Alder Seal], and he couldn't stand still for a moment.

With a "crack", the bone broke, and Lan En stepped on the broken bone and it popped out of the opponent's pants!

Compared to the hardness of Smaug's armor, even these crazy old hunters are too fragile.

He broke the old hunter's calf with one kick, but the hunter didn't seem to react at all.

For them, who have already begun to transform into beasts, they feel nothing when they are injured.

But Lan didn't need it to feel anything.

"呲流~"

The old hunter whose calf was broken immediately fell to the ground, and Lan's feet pushed his body and slid on the marble floor covered with mess and blood.

He was kicked to the side of the crazy Lawrence's claws!
This was to attract Lawrence's attention and prevent it from damaging the bait on the upper half of the Son of God's body on the stone table.

Sure enough, this worked great for Lawrence, who had completely lost his humanity.

"Ow!"

The wolf with huge antlers howled, and its claws, which were originally raised to hit somewhere, suddenly hit the old hunter with a "bang".

The huge claws were enough to cover the old hunter's entire body. Like squeezing ketchup, a mixture of blood and minced meat spurted out from between the beast's fingers with a "sizzling" sound.

Then it was burned black by the high temperature.

It just bought time for the next swing of the claw, but it was enough.

Lan En held the hilt of the [Holy Moonlight Sword] with one hand, and gently stroked the guard of the sword with the other hand, then suddenly pulled it down! Then there was a slight "hum" sound!
The deep blue moonlight instantly extended from the sword guard, covering the sword blade as it expanded and grew!
Finally formed the iconic crystal sword blade!

Deep within the blade are intricate magic patterns that glow with an icy blue light.

"Swish!"

Just like Ludwig's action not long ago, two crescent-shaped blue-green light blades broke away from the sword as Lan En swung the blade.

There were fluorescent plankton-like spots of light swaying at the tail as it flew towards Lawrence!

【Moonlight Sword Qi】!
Compared to [Moonlight Torrent], it is much lighter, but because of this, the casting process is smoother and faster as the moonlight blade cuts through the air.

With a hazy and dreamy sound, it struck Lawrence!
"Carrara!"

"Ow!!!"

The sound of the skinny bones breaking was so devastating that Lawrence started to scream madly.

Two [Moonlight Sword Qis], one directly chopped on Lawrence's hairy lumbar vertebrae, which was no longer covered with flesh and blood and was directly exposed.

The other one hit the antlers on its head because its body was shaking.

The tufts of antlers looked simply abnormally large and morbidly sprawling.

But it is unexpectedly fragile.

[Moonlight Sword Qi] directly shaved the antlers on both sides into an unbalanced shape with one side larger and the other smaller.

The injury to his lumbar vertebrae almost caused Lawrence to fall down!

After two [Moonlight Sword Qis], Lan En himself followed closely behind.

Although Lawrence's whole body was now on fire, it was as if what was flowing in his body was no longer blood, but lava.

But it is ultimately a clerical beast.

In this day and age, no one in Yharnam would believe that the clergy of the Healing Church could degenerate into beasts.

After all, they have firm beliefs and sufficient [blood healing] resources.

But for Lan, this was not the first time he faced a clergy monster.

In the 'future' Yharnam, with Henrik's help, he once hunted Mark who had transformed into a beast.

Yes, according to Lan's observations during this period, Mark was the friend who turned Henrik into a beast.

He is now a hunter of the church, but after experiencing the hunting night that destroyed Old Yharnam, he became afraid of fire and became an ordinary clergyman again.

Finally, on the bridge connecting Church Town to Yharnam, on that endless night of hunting, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

When facing an enemy who he knows well to some extent, Lan En always has an advantage.

Overwhelming advantage!

"bass!"

The demon hunter's footsteps were so fast and urgent that they were mixed with the sound of the weapon breaking through the air.

He dodged nimbly, just avoiding Lawrence's waving claws.

At the same time, the light and deep moonlight in his hand repeatedly chopped on Lawrence's lumbar vertebrae which had been injured by him!

With every slash, the [Holy Moonlight Sword] can bring out an ethereal and psychedelic sound and a spot of light.

And there was a crack on Lawrence's lumbar vertebra that was getting bigger and bigger!

till the end.
"Ow!!!"

Lawrence roared in pain, and his entire upper body threw forward, as if it was completely severed from his lower limbs.

Lan En swung the blue sword in his hand behind him without looking back, and the handle of the hunter's axe in the hand of an old hunter who rushed towards him madly was broken in half.

This is the problem with melee combat. It is impossible to focus on dealing with one enemy.

Fortunately, Lan En’s target was not anyone here.

He was only after the bodies of the orphans of Kos.

So Lan En cut off the axe handle in the old hunter's hand with a sword, and knocked the man back several steps. He did not prepare to chase him, but instead wanted to use [Acceleration] to rush to the stone table of the main altar in front!
But just when he was about to abandon these unnecessary enemies and head straight for the goal.

"Ahhh. Ahhh!!!"

Lawrence's lumbar vertebrae were broken by Lan En, and the beast simply stretched out its hands and tore off the lower half of his body that was still being dragged on him!

There was a 'swish' sound accompanied by a violent roar!
And what flowed out of the wound on the waist of the beast with only the upper body left was exactly what Lan En had felt before. It was not blood, it was magma!
The beast roared and slashed the ground with its claws.

And a large amount of lava, almost larger than its entire body, flowed out from the broken edge of its waist!

No one knows how and where this magma comes from.

Just like the beasts of Yharnam, they are irrational and crazy creatures.

In an instant, the diffuse magma ignited Old Yharnam and erupted again on a large scale!
