Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1353 1325. Moon God

As Geman's mouth emitted white smoke like roasted internal organs, the sea of ​​flowers, or rather the entire space where the sea of ​​flowers was located, changed instantly.

A profound and fundamental change.

In the sky, the bright and clear huge full moon, which originally corresponded to the quiet and white sea of ​​flowers, now shed light that changed from quiet white to a hint of blood red.

Before, under the bright moonlight, even though Lan and Maria were fighting at high speed in the messy light and shadow, they only felt that the scene was deep and quiet.

But when the moonlight that illuminated the shadows turned from white to red, the originally quiet scene and shadows were instantly tinged with a heavy and gloomy atmosphere.

Lan En, who had already reloaded and put away [Dragon's Roar], frowned and looked at the surrounding environment with a sense of something.

But Maria, whose sword's flame had gone out because the battle was over, was unaware of this.

She just stared in disbelief at German, who was lying on the ground with blue-purple flames bursting out of his wounds.

"What do you mean?" She asked stiffly, "What do you mean by that?"

When we met before, he looked like he didn't care about his students or anyone else's life.

He doesn't care about the dirty secrets of the Healing Church and even helps them.

Why did he suddenly seem to wake up at this moment? !
If German had done everything before without knowing it, Maria would still feel sorry for her teacher and herself.

But didn't Gehman's look before look like 'I know everything, but I don't care'? !

What was this all about now? Even if he was dead, he was still trying to fool his apprentice?

Maria's mind was now in a mess and her nerves were tense.

She took two steps forward, as if she could not see the [Flame Queen Dragon Flame] still burning in Geman's body. She even wanted to pull Geman up with her hands to question him.

But then
Behind Maria, an arm wearing heavy armor reached out silently.

With a bang, Maria's defenseless neck was hit by a precisely controlled force. The excellent hunter's eyes rolled up immediately, and she fell on the soft sea of ​​flowers with a plop.

Scattered petals were splashed.

"That's what he meant, Maria." Lan En, who had just knocked out his comrade, whispered, "Some things in Yharnam are best not even looked at."

The beautiful blood noble fainted in the sea of ​​flowers. The moonlight from the sky became increasingly blood-red, making the human shadow appear increasingly gloomy and terrifying.

Like a twisted and perverse demonic shadow.

In this increasingly blood-red moonlight, Lan En looked down at Geman, whose half body had been burned by the [Flame Queen Dragon Flame].

"I vaguely remember it because you were about to die?"

The demon hunter suddenly spoke without any context, but the old hunter, whose eyes were already lifeless, smiled as if he understood.

Lan En touched his neck with his dragon-scale-armored hand, as if he was recalling something.

"You once beheaded me in a dream."

“That was the first dream I had in Yharnam.”

Lan En calmly expressed his feeling of being beheaded.

The sharp edge of the sickle cut across what used to be his neck. At that time, the muscles and bones in his body had not yet been strengthened by surgery, and there were no semi-biological steel cables on his tendons.

There are no extra glands in his brain, and there are only two hearts in his chest, but no [Belisarius Furnace].

So [Funeral Blade] cut through the skin, muscles, blood vessels, and bones of his neck easily, just like cutting butter.
I seemed to see my headless, fallen body at that time.

"But now that I think about it, you looked really wrong then, Geman."

The witcher lowered his head and spoke, seemingly not caring at all about the blood-red moonlight that was shining down from the sky and covering the earth, becoming increasingly eerie and thicker.

"You had already proposed, or rather, your master had already wanted me to inject Yharnam's blood into my body. It was exactly the same as what you are proposing now: one drop, just one drop."

"But in that dream, you were overwhelmingly stronger than me, but you didn't inject me directly. Instead, you seemed impatient to chop off my head and sent me away from the dream."

"Given the unwiseness of this action, I can only speculate."

The tall figure half-knelt down in front of German's body and asked in a low voice.

"You were actually resisting Him? Even if it wasn't a big effort or it didn't work, you did try to resist, right? Like that time when you chopped off my head?"

The blood-red moonlight became increasingly dense, and the shadow in front of Lan En became increasingly deeper and darker.

However, beyond the human shadow, a frenzied, weird, and huge shadow also spread out from the blood-red moonlight.

The shadow of the indescribable thing gradually climbed up Lan En's back and gradually enveloped him completely.

But the witcher still seemed to feel nothing and just lowered his head to confirm with German.

The old hunter was almost burned from the inside out, and even his [Flame Queen Dragon Flame] was weakening due to lack of fuel.

At this moment, he did not explain his actions to Lan En, as if he was exhausted to the extreme both physically and mentally.

His head, which was lying on its back, just tilted to the side, and he barely glanced at the student who was knocked unconscious and fell beside him, the quiet and beautiful face hidden by the messy white hair.

He smiled regretfully, and only a sigh came out of his hoarse and dry voice.

"The nights and nightmares are too long"

Then, the blue-purple flame in his body, like his life, burned out and went out silently. Lan En did not get an answer, but he nodded in understanding.

Amid the sound of armor, the witcher who was half-kneeling stood up.

Maria didn't understand what was going on with her teacher, but he already did.

Perhaps in the real timeline, the old hunter in the 'past' was also ignorant at the beginning, and just worked in cooperation with the Healing Church. Later, he gradually discovered the truth and felt remorseful, but it was too late and there was nothing he could do.

In the end, he became a pawn in the hands of some high-ranking being and could no longer turn things around.

But Maria came from Yharnam's nightmare in the 'past', and the Geman in that nightmare was the Geman who arrived from the 'future'.

So Maria could not see the process of her teacher's confusion and entanglement in the real timeline. She only saw German, who had already experienced everything, ignoring life, killing the Son of God, and transferring the curse.

Therefore, the original image of the teacher in Maria's mind had collapsed.

And after everything that is happening now.
"Playing with dreams and time, treating the old hunter like a toy in his hands."

As Lan En spoke, he turned around in the sea of ​​flowers with the heavy footsteps of his dragon scale armor. He saw the true form of the strange and deep shadow.

"You are the one."

At this time, the originally huge and round moon had turned completely blood red.

And above the huge blood-red moon disk, a dancing figure was occupying the full moon phase and floating downwards.

It is hard to say what it is.

A twisted and elongated humanoid skeleton, but it's just a skeleton.

He has no skin, fat, or muscle on His body.

Only the minced meat-like tissue hanging on the skeleton made it look like a deformed skeleton with the flesh not cleaned out and blood spurting out.

But his head and tail are flexible limbs like squid tentacles.

The whole face was distorted, like an abstract painting by Picasso.

The empty mouth opened vertically, occupying most of the face area.

I don’t know if the holes for the two eyes were pushed to the edge of the left side.

There are only these three holes on the entire oval face.

Lan En looked up at Him, at this ugly creature that descended into the mortal world with the blood-red moon disk as the background.

He is so ugly and twisted.

But at the same time, He is also so holy.

The slowly falling creature was so strange and sacred.

The blood-red moonlight shone down from behind Him, and even this ominous and gloomy color was made to look like a bright and warm sunset.

He is like the overall temperament of the city of Yharnam.

Gloomy and weird, yet revealing a solemn sacredness.

So.perfect!

【Moon God】

This is the real ancient god! The real superior!
Lan En's amber cat eyes were dazed and absent-minded.

He stretched out his hand toward the falling figure from the sky, as if humbly seeking the touch of this noble creature.

It is also like a lost lamb, praying for mercy and guidance from a higher power.

His toughness and persistence seemed to be completely melted the moment this figure appeared before his eyes.

After all, those emotions and feelings are just human things.

Small and shallow, they have a narrow vision.

But the creature before him that descended from the blood moon was so noble and had such a far-sighted vision.

Obsession is a given.

Lan En's face was full of intoxication and shock.

Until the creature had floated into the sea of ​​flowers, crawling on all fours, with its two huge front paws holding his entire body in its hands like a rag doll.

His expression didn't change at all.

The creature that came down from the moon quietly picked up Lan and placed him in front of his deformed face.

It seemed as if it was using eyes that were not sure whether they existed or not to confirm what was in its hand.

then
As if he had confirmed his goal, he picked up Lan En's entire creature with both hands and suddenly pressed the demon hunter in his hands towards his weird and twisted face!

It's like I can't wait to kiss this cute and shallow human!
