Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1347 1319. Trigger Type [Quinn]

In a flash, Lan En, who had just soared into the air with his mastery of the [Light Body Technique] and his strong muscles, jumped into the air.

He had just swung out the [Cross Slash] and his sword hadn’t even landed on the ground yet.

But then German caught up with him at a faster speed, and the two of them went through two more rounds of fighting.

If it were someone with poor visual and thinking speed, he wouldn't even be qualified to know what happened in the meantime and would have been beheaded.

German lowered his head to dodge Lan En's knife, but his inertia still existed.

The sickle was trying to cut Lan En in half at the waist, and the external impact force did affect Lan En's originally stable landing posture.

The sickle dragged behind him, dragged the witcher to the ground together with him.

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

Lan En's heavy weight fell straight down from the height of seven or eight meters from which he had just jumped.

For an ordinary person, this height is enough to cause death.

Even if you are a professional, if you land in an incorrect posture, you will still fall to death.

What's more, Lan En's own weight will increase the damage caused by gravity to him.

But things are different now after all.

Strengthened bones, muscles, the biometal cable braiding layer on the outer layer of muscles, and all that sophisticated technology.

Although Lan En's waist was hooked by the sickle and he was smashed down in a clumsy posture, he just staggered to the ground and smoothly regained his balance with his hands.

In the previous battle with the [Mist Nest Lord] Tyrannosaurus, their bodies were entangled with each other and they were even able to crush rocks directly!

It even managed to carve a path through the Pontar River Valley! What was the damage caused by hitting the ground?
However, some dirt and petals inevitably got stuffed into the gaps in the armor during the process.

The bone-white armor became a little dirty, but at the same time, it immediately looked like it had been tempered by the battlefield, and began to have a solemn and murderous aura.

The moment Lan En stood firmly on the ground, he immediately raised his hand to the height of his waist!
When he turned around and swung the sword in mid-air, the sickle blade that was originally hooked on his abdomen had actually hooked on his lower back during the turn.

Lan En wanted to grab this rare weapon directly when he reached out.

Using his hand and elbow armor, the angles between the armor plates, and the lower back armor that was already hooked by the sickle blade, he directly took the dragging cut of the sickle blade and restricted German's mobility!
The tactical plan was immediately worked out in Lan's mind together with Mentos when Smaug's abdominal armor successfully blocked the scythe of the Funeral Blade.

Gehman's mobility far surpasses his own because of his extremely advanced attainments in the art of acceleration.

But his scythe could not do anything to Smaug's heavy armor.

Then limiting German's movement is the key to this battle!
Lann's tactical thinking is as sharp as his swordsmanship.

But when the sickle blade and the dragon scales of the heavy armor scraped against each other at close range, making a sharp and piercing sound, German understood Lan's plan.

He is a person who has been rolling in the blood and mud in the Shura field until now. How could he not understand Lan En's obvious tactical intentions?
After pulling Lan En down from the sky, German's landing posture was slightly stronger than Lan En's.

At least he had his balance steady.

The wooden prosthesis that replaced a lower leg actually had the advantage of not having many of the joints and bone structure of the foot.

With a simple support of a wooden prosthesis, German completed the turn on one foot.

He changed from crouching with his back to Lan En after just avoiding a beheading blow to facing him.

He was even one step faster than Lan, as if he immediately pulled away the sickle and distanced himself.

But on the one hand, the Smaug on Lann's body is not a one-piece armor, but a piece of trimmed dragon scales that are interlocked and connected after careful calculation.

This makes the whole set of armor angular and even shows the body lines.

At the same time, these edges and corners also make it very easy for the blade that is cutting the body to get stuck.

On the other hand, the sickle, a strange weapon, is very easy to get stuck.

In the early years, the indestructible feeling of [Funeral Blade] made German not used to pulling out his scythe, because wouldn't it be more convenient to just cut off anything that stood in the way of the scythe?
But now, this unfamiliarity made him lag behind Lan En.

"Karala~"

The sickle wanted to be pulled away, but it was locked by the elbow and the armor on the back of the waist. The scraping and twisting sounds were so painful that it made one's gums ache.

Using a blade forged from a strange meteorite that drifted from the universe, he tore at the dragon scales of the evil dragon of Lonely Mountain.

Unfortunately, this blade is not a black arrow after all.

It is not the most lethal weapon created by the dwarves who have survived for tens of thousands of years in the world where the God of Creation still exists.

"bass!"

Lan En held the sickle blade with one hand, and the Sword of the Lady of the Lake in the other hand suddenly flashed a circle of light.

The clear silver light swept across German's two hands holding the long handle of the sickle in an instant.

Blood splattered, staining the white flowers under the old hunter red.

Under the abnormally bright moonlight, the blood on the petals even reflected the moonlight into something even colder and more bizarre. However, Lan En, who chopped off the opponent's hands with his sword, did not look optimistic and even frowned.

Judging from the sharpness, when the Sword of the Lady of the Lake chopped down, both of German's hands should have been cut off cleanly, and even the cut should have been smooth and flat.

But now, those two hands still stayed on German's wrist.

"Nice armor, but I told you so."

The old hunter spoke calmly, as if the blood spurting from his wrist just now was an illusion.

Lan En looked down at the other person, but because of the brim of his top hat, he could only see the playful old corners of the other person's mouth.

“The support He gave me to deal with you is more than enough.”

The voice just fell
"Crack!"

Inside the transforming weapon, the machine instantly started to operate and sparks suddenly appeared!

The demon hunter's pupils suddenly shrank!
On the lower back, the collision between the blade of [Funeral Blade] and the armor of [Smaug] suddenly became so intense that it emitted sparks like a chainsaw cutting steel!

Almost subconsciously, Lan En had already made a mark on his left hand.

"Oh!"

A layer of golden chaos magic shield was instantly generated and broken.

But in this delicate and brief moment, the fleeting [Quen Seal] had already offset a lot of the most violent sudden impact.

Otherwise, this wave of impact force would be transmitted into the body through the armor at the lower back. Even if it was weakened by the [tendon coil] and strengthened muscles, it would probably cause impact on Lan's kidneys.

Let his lower back core muscles feel numb for a while.

If this happens in a battle against an enemy like German, it would be the same as immediate death.

But it's not so easy to survive the old hunter's [Transformation Slash].

Under the unique mechanical operation of the transforming weapon, the long, winding and sturdy sickle handle was bent in half, but the blade broke away from the handle directly on Lan's lower back and fell down.

The lock formed by Lan En's elbow and waist armor was indeed unable to lock the [Funeral Blade] in this state.

However, after transforming and removing all his weapons, German was not surrendering.

The Yharnam Hunter's normal form is with a melee weapon in the right hand and a musket in the left hand at the ready.

And as Geman is a Yharnam hunter template, he is of course the same!

The moment after the mechanical sound of the transforming weapon was heard, the demon hunter's pupils suddenly shrank, and a black gun barrel that appeared out of nowhere was pointing from bottom to top, aiming at his jaw.

[Smaug] is a set of heavy armor without a helmet.

And Gehman has obviously realized this.

“Bang!!!”

The old muskets seemed to have been crudely improved by adding fuel and gunpowder to increase the power of the bullet.

Because it was too old, the hunter's horn in German's hand was even wrapped with many torn and dirty strips of cloth.

But anyone who has spent some time in Yharnam knows that the power of the ammunition used by hunters hunting here depends on the quality of their own blood.

The 'higher' the quality, the more powerful the mercury bullet prepared from mixed blood will naturally be.

Lan En was not worried about the power of the guns, because if we only consider the physical impact force, even if these bullets hit his face directly, they would not be able to penetrate the [Inner Steel] under his skin, the cable braided layer of active steel.

What Lan En was worried about was the blood mixed in those mercury bullets!

The witcher immediately raised his head as much as he could. At the moment when flames came out of the muzzle of the old hunter's horn gun, Mentos had already calculated the landing points of the shotgun.

Lan's super fast reaction allowed his head to dodge most of the bullets, but there were still one or two small scattered bullets that hit his chin and neck.

However, Lan En, who had dodged most of the bullets by raising his head within the limited time, was no longer nervous.

"Bang bang!"

Two of the shotgun shells, following the trajectory predicted by Mentos, actually hit Lan's jaw and neck, which were exposed outside the armor.

However, between the bullet and the skin, a layer of golden chaos magic protective shield suddenly appeared, which directly deflected the mercury bullet and flew out after two explosions!

In Berengar's hands, the [Smaug] armor inherited the inherent ability of the Bear School's master-level armor: it can recover the chaotic magic that was lost and scattered after the [Quen Seal] was broken, and spontaneously form a protective shield again!

So at this critical moment, all the mercury bullets fired at Lan En's exposed head and neck missed!

But the old hunter was not discouraged.

Ever since his previous blow failed to cut through Lan's armor, he knew that this would be a difficult battle.

The purpose of his shooting has always been to free his own knife!
