Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1358 1330. Sipping Blood
Active light red fighting spirit flames burst out from Lan En's body.

There were three consecutive "bang, bang, bang" noises! Each one was louder than the last!

This action and movement are all completely consistent with the characteristics of the [Charged Slash] in the [Great Sword Technique]!
However, the fighting spirit that had been accumulated to the normal limit through the [Great Sword Technique] was still burning on Lan En's body.

But his movements had nothing to do with the posture of using a greatsword.

That's not a normal [Charge Slash] release action.

That is
【Charge Slash·Dragon Flash】!
The long sword swung down overhead directly brought up a huge vacuum air blade that distorted and refracted the light!

After being enhanced by the charged heavy blow based on the core idea of ​​the Great Sword Technique, even the sword energy that was supposed to distort the air and looked like a transparent barrier was now tinged with a strange and vivid luster.

The light red light of the leaping fighting spirit comes from the vitality in Lan En's body.

And that faint, tiny but real white light is the [Light of the Twin Sacred Trees] stained from the blade!
At this moment, even if Lan En just swung his sword casually, once he used the air flow blade technique, the sword light would be more explosive and have a wider range than when he used [Dragon Flash] before.

This was mainly due to the leap in his basic qualities as a result of his further training and the advancement of his Space Marine surgery.

In this situation, if he now concentrates on using [Dragon Flash], the surging vacuum air blade can basically divide this huge sea of ​​flowers into two halves.

But now, this is no longer an ordinary [Dragon Flash].

The communication between thoughts and the biochemical intelligent brain only takes a moment.

And a moment later, the demon hunter's hand had chopped out the surging and violent air blade that had been improved and integrated with techniques!

The sword blade, with a hint of light red fighting spirit, flew from the ground towards the Moon Goddess who was protecting herself with her tentacles.

The soil and rocks are like soft tofu in front of this air blade.

Without any ability to resist, a sharp and smooth knife mark was plowed out.

Those quiet white petals were carried away by the air blade and flew up.

The murderous sword energy and the quiet petal fragments entangled and flew with each other under the blood-red moonlight, unexpectedly giving rise to a sense of quiet beauty and timelessness.

But from the perspective of the Moon Goddess, this beautiful sword strike did not seem to have any "beauty" at all.

"Oh!"

A loud bang!
When the surging air blade hit the tentacles of the Moon Goddess that surrounded it, it didn't feel like a sharp blade cutting, but rather like a powerful force directly colliding with a powerful defense!

I don’t know what defensive means the Moon Goddess used, but the cutting power of this knife was dispersed by Him into pushing and shoving.

But this is not pleasant either!
His deformed claws gripped the ground tightly, as if directing all the impact force on his body into the ground.

With the tentacles he placed in front of him for defense as the boundary, the ground where he stood was directly cracked!
The horizontal cracks overlapped with the vertical plowing marks of the air blade in front, looking like a headless cross.

The dark purple tentacle in front of it made a continuous burning sound from the place where the air blade directly touched it.

The Moon Goddess still couldn't suppress her voice, which was so distant and ethereal that it was incomprehensible to humans and sounded more like the screams of a wild beast.

Perhaps compared to normal humans, beasts without intelligence and consciousness are more in line with the "truth" of this world.

"what!!!"

The screams echoed back and forth in the three holes on the Moon Goddess's face.

Soon, the burning sound was mixed with the sound of juicy flesh being violently cut.

It was like a saw sliding across the pork, and the sticky fat and blood made a "sizzling" sound from the friction of the densely packed teeth.

Luna did make some defensive moves.

One can quickly evolve from not even being able to control the physical body proficiently to being able to develop some special techniques for this body in just a few minutes.

The horror of the ancient gods as a life form is completely true in every sense of the word.

This is true even if They are not in the high dimensions with which They are familiar.

But in this race about "progress", the Moon Goddess was the passive party from beginning to end!
Although Lan En's progress in [Clairvoyance] makes his battle time more urgent, this huge progress is also real!
At this moment, the demon hunter's deep eyes stared motionlessly at the tentacle wall of the Moon Goddess blocking in front of him.

With his vision touching upon the deeper truths of the world and becoming increasingly clear, he was able to see through the opponent's tricks at a glance.

Integrate yourself with the environment and unload the force together.

An old-fashioned, but simple and practical idea.

At the same time, it is not difficult to break!
【Dragon Flash】is a technique that involves swinging the sword once, creating two consecutive air blades to attack.

The first sharp air blade that rushed over allowed Lan En to see the skill clearly with his eyes. The second air blade that followed was slightly tilted at a subtle angle under his control.

"Bah!"

Even the screams of the Moon Goddess when she was burned by the Light of the Twin Sacred Trees almost paused for a moment in shock.

The second air blade did not pause at all, and was not like the first one, which was like a heavy object crashing into something.

Instead, the sharp blade goes straight in!
Although the Moon Goddess temporarily developed some defensive techniques to suit this body, they were still too rigid in Lan En's eyes.

He accurately saw through and found the flaws in this improvised skill, and dismembered it like a butcher cutting up a cow!

The time used is not even as long as the interval between two consecutive air blades of [Dragon Flash]!

His field of vision has improved greatly now.

Just as Lan En expected.

The air blade that penetrates straight into the tiny flaw, combined with the core ideas and techniques of [Charged Slash], the power of [Dragon Flash] has been improved accordingly!
It's like using a meat knife from a seafood store to cut the tentacles of a squid.

The light red sharp blade light cut straight into the defense circle built by the Moon Goddess with her tentacles with almost no hindrance.

Can the squid use its tentacles to roll up to block the knife of the seafood shop owner?

No.

So Moon Goddess is not okay either.

The sound of "Cilala" was heard frequently, it was the sound of sticky blood and minced meat falling off the Moon Goddess's skeleton.

It's not even just the tentacles.
A few seconds after Luna controlled the tentacles to form a defensive circle and covered her face with one of her front paws
"Stab!!!"

Many thick tentacles, including the skinny hand that the Moon Goddess covered her face with, all burst into blood along the cut surface after the knife flashed!
The cut slid smoothly down the broken limb, and smoke continued to rise. Lan En swung the sword vertically, so the air blade of [Dragon Flash] also flew vertically forward.

A vertical cut cut through the elbow of the hand that Yue Shen used to cover her face.

Because his arm was bent to cover his face, the knife light cut into the ancient god's arm and then cut out.

Cut through the middle section of the forearm and the middle section of the overlapping upper arm respectively.

A hand was cut into three parts.

The same treatment was done to His hind leg that was squatting on the ground.

The two severed arms fell down along with the Moon Goddess's equally fallen body.

The abnormal amount of blood in his body was pulled into long lines from the bleeding wounds by his falling movement.

This is almost equivalent to having half of the body chopped off by Lan En's knife!

The defense he had just built was chopped to pieces by Lan En in an instant!

At this moment, with his body so injured and burned by the divine light, the Moon God's condition may have reached the most dangerous low point in his life.

But inexplicably.
'Now, choose.'

In the unbearable pain caused by the [Light of the Twin Sacred Trees], the Moon Goddess screamed, and a new communication occurred through [Spiritual Vision].

At this moment, Lan En was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

An unprecedented feeling of horror emerged.

And in that superhuman visual nerve, as the Moon Goddess slowly fell, there was even a severed hand falling down next to His face.

The three deep holes on his face were always staring at Lan En motionlessly.

"Ding~"

A cross-shaped blood-red light burst out from the deformed face!

After a flash of red light, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Originally, the intensity of the battle between Yue Shen and Lan En had reached the point where any move could almost blow away the entire sea of ​​flowers.

If it hadn't been for the automatic recovery in the dream, who knows what this mountaintop full of flowers would have looked like.

But now, after a burst of red light, except for a long, heavy and sharp sound when the red light just appeared, it seemed that not even a single petal was shaken.

The sea of ​​flowers, which was not further destroyed, returned to its quiet and beautiful state.

However, the demon hunter who had just chopped the ancient god to pieces made a "click" sound on his gauntlet, and then he let go and then forced his grip on the handle again.

Lan En felt as if his body had been drained away in an instant.

All the strength, all the energy, even thinking and consciousness, became difficult and thin after this moment, and the situation is getting worse.

He was almost helpless and suddenly knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the Moon Goddess whose leg and hand he had cut off.

It was only because of the support of Aarondite on his hand that he was stuck into the ground that he didn't fall directly to the ground.

'The blood in my body is empty'

He operated his thoughts with difficulty, and in an instant the blood in his body was emptied, not only the blood in the main blood vessels, but also the capillaries on the skin, and the blood deep into the internal organs and the brain. All were emptied!

Because of this, Lan En's thinking was as sluggish as a corpse approaching death.

His face turned extremely pale in an instant. Even if a witcher drank too much potion, his face would never be so pale!
No. It's not 'like' a corpse!
Even if a person had been dead for an hour, his body would not be like Lan En's now, with not even a drop of blood flowing in it!
"No! Wait, sir! But according to my test, your blood indicators are completely normal!"

Mentos never expected that after his authority was upgraded, he would be hit like this!
It was so anxious that it almost blinded Lan En's retina!
"Your blood is flowing normally! I'm sure of it! Sir!"

'That's not blood, or rather, it's not blood in the normal sense.'

Lan En no longer had the strength to even move his lips.

But his eyes were still observing passively.

This ability seems to be similar to that of a blood-sucking creature, except that it drains the blood from the human body.

However, during the previous preparation process, Lan En's [Clairvoyance] was stimulated and his ability increased dramatically. Even if the final effect is simple, the principle must be very complicated.

This is neither 'blood sucking' nor 'blood burning'.
When Lan En observed the red light with his [Spiritual Vision], he vaguely understood some clues.

——The Moon Goddess mobilized her essence as a high-dimensional life form.

He tampered with the appearance of the blood flowing in Lan's body.

In Lan's blood vessels, the red fluids responsible for carrying nutrients and oxygen still exist, but they no longer serve the consciousness of 'Lan'.

The normal blood flow detected by Mentos is only normal at the physical level.

Just like the virtual health on the character's health bar in the game, does it exist? It should exist.

But does it work?

it goes without saying.

"One minute," the whisper from the ancient god came at the right moment at the level of [Spiritual Vision], "Your consciousness can only last for one minute."

Lan En raised his head stiffly and reluctantly to a slight angle.

In the distance, the Moon Goddess, whose body had just been chopped in half by him, fell to the ground.

At this moment, she had no intention of struggling, nor did she have the intention of dragging her body forward to slap him to death.

Instead, it just lay there quietly, with the three holes on its deformed face staring at him silently.

Even the bleeding severed limb stretched towards him.

'Come, Lan, my child.'

'Sip your first sip of blood.'
