Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1352. Go!

Although Maria has never faced Lan's strength directly, she feels that she has some idea of ​​it.

But Maria was shocked to see that Lan En had been fighting with German, whose body was already emitting green flames, for such a long time, but both of them still looked calm.

This shock only lasted a short while in the hunter's heart before she felt relieved.

Since she came here, she had already stopped caring about anything.

Even when she saw the doll made in her own image standing alive in front of her, she just walked away with a blank expression.

What else is there to be surprised about?

So, it can be said that it was a silent tacit understanding, an understanding of the battle situation, or simply that Maria no longer cared about her own life or death.

In short, at the moment when the three of them activated the [Acceleration Technique] at the same time, Maria and Lan En didn't communicate anything, and the female hunter rushed straight towards her former teacher.

The old hunter who developed the [Acceleration Technique] and the student he taught but 'died in the past' began a ruthless clash of blades.

Yharnam hunters seldom fight with swords. They always dodge enemy attacks with swiftness, and then dodge back after the enemy misses, and use their transforming weapons to strike hard.

So when German and Maria started swinging their swords at each other, the huge blood-red curtain of sword afterimages and the blue-flamed human figures crisscrossed back and forth, and the light and shadows changed violently.

But it remains silent.

There was no sound of the blade entering the flesh and blood spurting out, nor was there the crisp explosion when the blades intersected.

Only the wind created by their quick dodgy movements made a continuous "whooshing" sound.

This sea of ​​flowers is very strange. It seems that no matter how much damage it suffers, it will not last long.

It will slowly return to the appearance that Lan En first saw it.

Two of the most outstanding hunters in Yharnam, they were entangled in trying to stab each other with their weapons in the chest, or to pull people in half with sickles from the waist.

The green and blood-red flames quickly plowed out hideous traces in the sea of ​​flowers and continued to shift.

While the two of them were entangled, Lan En was following closely, a little slower, and was free.

With the help of [Advanced Blizzard], the amber cat's eyes tracked everything happening in front of them with a higher level of reaction speed.

Maria and Lan's intention to cooperate is obvious.

As German's student, Maria will try her best to use her speed to distract the old hunter in an attempt to slow him down.

Lan En on the periphery needs to seize the opportunity and be prepared to interfere and attack accurately and fatally at any time.

Maria's swordsmanship is as graceful as dancing.

She has an upright posture, and most of the time she dances with the blade, it's not like ordinary swordplay, where she has to twist her waist and hips and mobilize her core muscles.

Instead, he just waved gracefully.

This kind of movement wouldn't require much strength, but the pair of [Falling Leaf] swords she was holding didn't look like she was relying on strength to chop people.

The flame ignited by the high-quality blood is the main source of the killing power of the double swords.

Her swordsmanship can make the sword swing more sudden and faster.

But. This is still a skill taught by Gehman.

"Whoo~"

Flames exploded in the air.

The slender and enchanting fire blade left a burning and expanding fan in the air.

But the old hunter's prosthesis had already touched the ground, and with a quick and simple sidestep, he missed the sword blade and the expanding flame by a hair's breadth.

The sickle turned and stretched forward.

The long handle of the sickle with the blade hanging down passed over Maria's waist and reached behind her, and then German turned his wrist.

With a quick "click" sound, the sickle blade that was originally hanging down due to gravity was laid flat in the blink of an eye!

Then [Funeral Blade] was about to be pulled back. Such confrontation, in their extremely fast fighting state, took place no less than twenty times in just a short while!

In each previous incident, German had the upper hand, but at the final moment when he was about to succeed, he would often be targeted by the witcher's extremely concentrated and targeted murderous aura, allowing Maria to find a gap and escape to counterattack.

But this time, it's not just the illusory murderous aura that's used to exert pressure from a distance.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, amidst the rushing wind, three muffled sounds were heard, completely different from those of Yharnam’s local muskets!

The old hunter didn't even think twice and immediately gave up the action of pulling back the sickle in the next second, breaking Maria's waist and cutting her in half!

The long-handled sickle wielded by Gehman looked like a spinning moon!
"Boom!"

Corresponding to the muffled sound were three rapid and sharp sounds, which were the sound of the thin metal dancing at super fast speeds cutting through the flying bullet.

[Dragon Roar] The three normal bullets fired from the heavy crossbow were neatly cut into two even halves around German's body.

Even the tail flames emitted by these ammunition during flight were cut by the rapidly dancing sickle.

Speed ​​is power.

At this time, Lan En fired three accurate shots in a row.

He is like a standard Yharnam hunter, with a firearm in his left hand and a cold weapon for close combat in his right hand.

However, in the eyes of normal people, this firearm is close to a "cannon", and the tiger-like pattern on it makes it look even more ferocious.

And on his cold weapon, there was burning an obviously abnormal, quiet blue-purple flame.

"If you can't use your speed to entangle me, then I can do more things." In the flash of eye contact, Geman understood what the young man from another place in front of him meant.

Strange methods are learned and obtained by traveling in strange worlds.

Lan's strength comes from the fact that he built the extremely solid tower brick by brick during his journey.

'Maybe. It's about to end.'

And Gehman himself suddenly understood this.

The outcome of a battle is often already apparent halfway through. The remaining time is often just a result of people's unwillingness to give up and their desire to survive that drives them to struggle and resist.

Compared to demon hunters who travel across many worlds, the methods of Yharnam hunters appear to be simple.

Before, when there was no interference, German was able to use his overwhelming speed advantage to prevent Lan from having time to use his skills.

But now
"Whoo~"

The long sword, with blood-red flames, chopped over along with the air!
German is indeed faster than Maria and his skills are more sophisticated.

But he had just deflected three normal bullets fired by Lan using [Dragon Roar] just a moment ago.

The solid materials used in hunting weapons and warheads by the New World Survey Team, as well as the excellent performance of biological materials, made his arm, which was wielding the sickle, stiffen for a moment.

But in the battle of speed, all that is needed is 'one moment'.

The long sword [Falling Leaf] was slashed out at an angle. Even though German had tried his best to move with his speed, the wooden prosthesis on his leg was still burned in the blood-red flames.

When he balanced his feet again and touched the ground with his prosthetic limb, there was a slight "crack" sound, and the burnt part shattered into pieces.

The prosthesis was suddenly shorter, but with German's extraordinary recovery ability, he could recover without any feeling.

But now, not only had he consumed too much energy in the fight with Lan En, but this section of his prosthesis was also "burned", making it even more difficult to recover.

The sudden difference in length between his two legs caused German to stumble slightly.

And that is the moment
[Dragon Roar] was thrown directly by Lan En onto the hook behind him.

When the second-phase leader of the New World Survey Team participated in the manufacture of this armor, he habitually left the weapon hook position commonly used in the survey team on it.

Immediately afterwards, Lan En appeared in front of German, who staggered.

However, Arondate, which was quietly burning with blue-purple flames, was not chopped away.

Instead, it sheathed.

The scabbard that was originally hanging on Lan En's waist was held in front of him.

The last section of the blade that was still exposed was pressed back into the scabbard with a slight "click" sound of the leaf spring.

It was not until this time that the airflow caused by Lan's rapid movement rushed over from behind him, making a sound of wind.

However, the sound of the wind could not get close to the position behind Lan En at all. It seemed to be suppressed by some invisible field and dissipated.

The air pressure seemed to freeze in an instant.

Even the blood-red flame on Maria's knife was suppressed to only a thin layer on the blade, and it was much shorter.

The old hunter, who had his body bent and was about to dodge, suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, there were many blue-purple glowing scales floating in the air like fireflies.

But unlike ordinary fireflies, which only emit light, these scales glow under the radiation of thermal energy because they are too hot!
These gorgeous scales gather and twist in the air following the flow of air, gradually outlining the true appearance of the high-pressure air in this area.

[Water-Shaped Sword·One Heart]!
"Squeak!!!"
Countless sharp air blades suddenly appeared in the air!
The crisscrossing thin knife marks surrounded Geman's motionless figure.

The purple scales glowed and heated up, following the cuts like gasoline meeting a spark, and suddenly with a bang, they burst into flames!

The air blades, which originally appeared to be white and thin due to high pressure, were instantly dyed into the blue-purple color of fire!

So gorgeous and weird!
[Flame Queen Dragon Flame]!
The flames of female Yangyan Dragons tend to be more clingy and smoldering, compared to the violent flames of males.

To put it simply, it is: a cancer that has penetrated deep into the bone marrow!
These flames spread along the airflow of the knife marks and attached themselves to the old hunter's body with extremely high efficiency.

And what was very strange was that it did not have the eagerness to spread like ordinary flames.

On the contrary, they keep burning and drilling deeper!
The wounds caused by burns are not large-scale ulcers, but deep holes like erosion!

When the flames burned along the knife marks in the air all the way to the dense knife cuts that suddenly appeared on German's body, and then went straight into his body, the only thing left was a matter of time and facing a desperate counterattack.

The sticky, smoldering nature of [Flame Queen Dragon Flame] will allow it to continuously consume the unique resilience within Geman's body.

This is why Lan En specifically chose this kind of flame after seeing the effect of the flame.

In terms of long-term consumption, it is absolutely right.

But just as Lan En had already injected a large amount of [Flame Queen Dragon Flame] into Geman's body, he took a few steps back, holding his breath and preparing to deal with the old hunter's last few counterattacks.
Germann looked down in surprise at his body which was burning from the inside and covered with knife marks.

Then, the corner of his mouth beneath the brim of his hat smiled, as if he had just woken up from a long daze.

Lan En was surprised to find that he seemed to have instantly lost the resilience that had not yet been exhausted to the limit.

When he opened his mouth, German's mouth was burning so much that hot white mist could be spewed out.

But he opened his mouth in such pain, just to say one sentence.

Maria

"Come on!"
