Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1360 1332. Don’t eat!
Lan En, who had regained some strength due to the new blood flowing into his body, now lowered his head.

His eyes refocused.

But what appeared before his eyes at this moment was a scene beyond common sense.

The blood that spurted out of his body seemed to disappear after hitting the ground, leaving no trace.

The white petals on the sea of ​​flowers are still pure white, without a trace of blood red.

He even felt his body beginning to swell.

The initial heavy bleeding did stimulate the [Belisarius Furnace] and coordinate the hematopoietic activities of organs throughout the body.

But the blood that was expelled and "adjusted" by the power of the Moon Goddess now seemed to have reappeared in the body.

An ordinary person, under normal circumstances and without ischemia, can only force an additional 500 milliliters of blood into the body.

There is a wide range of fluctuations depending on the weight difference.

Any more and there will be a serious reaction.

Lan En's body is no longer that of an ordinary person, but the extra blood in his original body also has an upper limit.

When his sword pierced his heart just now, the wave of blood that spurted out was at least 500 milliliters.

Now all the blood that was spurted out has returned.

In the last second, some of the blood that spurted out of Lan En's chest flowed down along his chest skin, staining the armor belt around his waist and the dragon skin skirt armor red.

It also dyed the leg armor that was bitten by layers of dragon scales red.

But the next second, all the bright red colors disappeared.

The scene just now even seemed like Lan En's imagination in his sleep.

Lan En raised his head slowly with stiff muscles, looking at the ancient god who was lying on the ground calmly, stretching his broken limbs towards him, as if waiting for him to go up and sip his blood.

"You bought yourself another five minutes." The three empty holes on the weird face stared at Lan, motionless.

'But that blood will always occupy your body.'

'You can't throw them away, you can only change them.'

And the so-called method of "change" has always been clear.

——On the Moon Goddess’s severed limb that was always stretched out towards him and was always bleeding.

After using her essential power, the Moon Goddess actually only left Lan En with two paths.

Or Lan would bleed to death.

Or, become his child, kill him, survive, and become the new ancient god.

Therefore, even when she saw Lan En piercing her heart without any hesitation or change of expression, the Moon Goddess remained calm.

Because all of this is still within His plan.

However, blood was still gushing out of the wound on the young demon hunter's chest, but the blood was also returning to his body invisibly.

His head, which had been raised, drooped again as if he was laughing silently.

'It turns out that when people are extremely speechless, they will actually laugh.'

Suddenly, this idea popped up in Lan En's mind, which had just regained some vitality.

'Until now. Until this moment. He still thought that I would choose the path He gave me?! '

"He actually thought that I would surrender to Him?!"

When she thought of this, Lan En's pale but still beautiful face revealed a smile that grew bigger and bigger, and made people tremble more and more.

Mentos was still trying to identify his physical problems and find solutions through his newly upgraded computing power. He was almost going crazy in Lan's mind.

But suddenly, the biochemical intelligent brain that was checking for physical problems suddenly received abnormal reports from two organs that it had never paid much attention to and had always been running smoothly.

At this point, even the biochemical intelligent computer that had been operating rationally and logically was stunned.

On the body problem processing interface built by the biochemical intelligent brain, the right half of Lan En's brain, as well as the area between his thymus and heart, suddenly changed from a normal grayish-white color to an obviously abnormal bright red!
Mentos immediately understood what had gone wrong.

——【Holy Hymn Pituitary】and【Gene Seed】!
These two super organs, which have been functioning stably since their implantation, are now becoming wildly active!
Mentos was going crazy, totally unaware of what these two usually honest creatures were doing at this extremely urgent moment? !
But whether it knows it or not, it cannot affect the [Holy Pituitary] and [Gene Seed] to actually enhance the activity of the organs, and begin to spontaneously and widely regulate Lan's physical condition.

Before the biochemical intelligent brain has university-level authority, it cannot interfere with the subject's physical body at all, but these two super organs are much more stupid and crude!
It is completely different from the style of working with meticulous and cautious people to jointly produce biochemical intelligent computers.

[Gene Seed] and [Holy Pituitary] both have the function of controlling all hormones in the body, monitoring physiological states, and monitoring the operation of each super organ.

Now, after the inexplicable combined force, the first change that occurred in Lan En's body was that his blood flow speed increased like a racing car!
As if responding to Lan En's rejection and contempt for the "adjusted" blood in his body.

The blood spurting out from the knife wound on Lan En's chest made even louder noises.

But under the power of the ancient gods, he would always return to Lan En's body out of thin air.

Increasing the blood flow rate will not allow Lan En to survive now.

But it can make the small amount of fresh blood he just produced circulate more efficiently.

This gave Lan some strength.

This allowed him to reach for the alchemical leather bag at his waist.

Just like performing surgery on himself, Lan En first drank a bottle of [Advanced Swallow], and also placed two bottles of [Advanced Pure White Rafad] next to his kneeling legs.

These are the most effective restorative potions for the witcher.

With the medicinal properties of [Advanced Pure White Rafad], basically a normal demon hunter can be brought back to life with only one breath left.

The Moon Goddess continued to watch quietly and calmly.

Even though he was trapped in the material realm, even though he had never seen them before, he still used the ancient god's 'vision' to see through the effects of these drugs with just one glance.

it's useless.

Restorative potions are meant to restore the body to normal, not to make an already normal body produce twice as much blood out of thin air.

That would make people burst.

If you can't get rid of the 'modulated' blood, then nothing can be changed.

But then, the thing Lan En took out from the alchemical leather bag finally made the Moon Goddess's broken body, which had been calm all the time, react.

The strange face looked up in surprise.

"Sigh~"

The broad sword, which was not very sharp, rubbed against the opening of the leather pocket as it was pulled out, making a unique scraping sound.

Under the blood-red moonlight, the witcher's strength had become extremely weak. Even to breathe, he needed to pay extra attention to his chest muscles, which would then pump up with great effort like an old bellows.

The dark sword body and the cold and sharp blade [Muddy Flow·Destruction]!
Ever since Lan En realized he had returned to Yharnam, he had kept this greatsword in cold storage, not allowing it to cut anything, for fear that it would ingest the blood of Yharnam!
At this point, Lan En didn't even have the strength to pull out the entire sword. The alchemical leather bag was thrown casually beside his legs, and the sword he pulled out of it only revealed the hilt and the one-meter-long black and white thick sword body, and he couldn't pull it out anymore.

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, a small section of the sword was revealed and fell to the ground, crushing the white flowers.

The ferocious and tyrannical spirit, even if only a part of the sword is exposed, the momentum has already burst out completely!

Just like an insatiable ferocious beast, it is now gnashing its teeth and sucking blood, waiting for food to appear, and it will pounce on it and bite it without hesitation!
The arm that could have wielded the greatsword with ease could now only lie limply under the hilt of the sword, even pushing down one of Lan's shoulders.

The young witcher gasped with a pale face, and he tried several times to clench his palm which was pressed by the hilt of the sword.

But after a series of crackling sounds from the nails on his hands, it was of no use.

Mentos knows what the subject wants to do.

He wanted to activate the [Combat Skill: Afterfire] on this greatsword.

Let the [remnant fire] directly burn the blood that flows out! Get rid of the blood that has been 'modulated' by the Moon Goddess.

But now Lan En even had a hard time holding the sword. He was totally unable to do what he wanted, as if he was going to break the hilt and expose the hot and calm flames from under the outer shell of the sword.

Mentos doesn't know what to do now.

However, the reason why the biochemical intelligent brain is positioned as a "learning assistance device" is because: when it doesn't know what to do, that is when the human self-will will be revealed!
Lan let out a long sigh.

"Hey~"

Then, he threw off the gauntlet on his other hand, lowered his head, and pulled out the Sword of the Lady of the Lake that was still stuck in his chest!

Along with his movements, the blood flow, which had originally been slowing down despite its strong momentum, suddenly surged out!
Spray on the dark sword of [Muddy Flow·Destruction]!

In just a moment, this greedy and hungry ferocious sword didn't care where the flesh and blood that fell into its mouth came from.

Immediately, the blood that was pumped out of Lan En's heart was about to disappear and blend into the dark sword body and bone-white blade.

Like the corrosive black mist flashing with red lightning, [Dragon Attribute Energy] also began to emerge after the greatsword began to absorb nutrients.

At the same time, as Lan En's blood, which had been 'modulated' by the ancient gods, came into contact with the living greatsword [Turbid Flow·Destruction], a strange atmosphere began to spread from the greatsword.

It was different from the [Dragon Attribute Energy], and the white mist like a dream began to vaguely appear.
"Bang!!!"

Suddenly, a loud bang like the evening bell of a church came from the great sword!
In the past, this was the noise that would only be made when this ferocious giant sword was slashing at something.

But today, it was Lan En who took off his gauntlet and punched the sword directly!
"Don't eat it, burn it!"

Lan En said calmly, but the biochemical intelligent computer in his mind no longer dared to speak.

But the blood was still disappearing from the dark sword.

"Bang!!!"

The second hit went down.

"Don't eat it, burn it!"

Lan En was still speaking calmly, but where he landed his fist, a thick black smoke with flashes of blood-red lightning wrapped around his fist!

The unarmored skin became bumpy in an instant, and even wrinkled and fell off the hand.

Exposing the bright red muscles, and... the steel cables that look like braided layers!

The momentum of the greatsword became more and more ferocious!
This sword has always been very ferocious, just as the leader of the second-phase team that forged the sword commented: This sword contains the dragon jade of Nergigante, its regenerating shell, its thorns, and is matched with Valyrian steel with extremely high biological fusion. This is simply a sword-shaped Nergigante!

It's as ferocious as the Nergigante!

In the Flame World, there is also an entire wedge-shaped stone disc that reinforces it.

Normally, Lan En could let it eat, so it wouldn't mess around. But now, he was asking it to spit out food from its mouth?

Of course it will react like a stress response and eat whoever comes up to it!
Although it cannot eat the blood that Lan En sprayed out, because of the power of the Moon Goddess, the blood will eventually return to Lan En's body out of thin air.

But how could a sword know so much?
Another saying is, it has a bad temper now, Lan En?
The entire hand was corroded by the [Dragon Attribute Energy], with no skin left and the muscles exposed, but Lan En's pale face did not show the slightest distortion of pain.

The paleness even made his face look more beautiful.

But at the same time.

"呲呲呲!"

A sharp and piercing noise exploded!

Without the covering of skin, the layer of [inner steel] on Lan En's hand was revealed, and it was bloody.

But even so, Lan En's palms still curled inward into claws and scratched the wide sword of [Muddy Flow·Destruction].

Muscles without skin will bleed out like a sponge if touched even the slightest bit!

But Lan En's fingertips were scraping it hard.

Scrape the debris from this half-living greatsword, dig out the blood that has been absorbed into the blade, and then... eat it yourself!

Lan's [Inner Steel] is also made from the thorns of the Nergigante, a semi-biological steel!
Blood was gushing out of his chest, and his fingertips, which had lost their skin, were bleeding from being scratched.

Indulged in this blood, the steel cable in Lan En's hand also greedily absorbed nutrients.

On the dark sword of [Muddy Flow·Destruction], the black mist-like [Dragon Attribute Energy] seemed to be enraged and burst out to a greater extent!
It was even very targeted, extending along Lan's hand all the way upwards, swallowing up his elbow, upper arm, entire arm, shoulder, and even to the side of his neck, almost climbing up to his face!
The flesh and blood corroded with a teeth-chattering sound.

The brutal and violent momentum is getting stronger!

But even though the blood vessels on his neck were corroded and throbbing, Lan En still didn't even look at the [Dragon Attribute Energy] that was almost climbing up his chin.

He still held the blade of the greatsword with his fingertips and used his body to destroy his own greatsword.

"Don't eat it. Burn it!"

Somehow, Mentos felt that Lan En, who was usually a humble person, suddenly had an inexplicable majesty at this moment.

This majesty is inviolable and nobility cannot be desecrated!

He looked at the sword as if he was promulgating a law of his own!

And under this majesty, under the damage of being 'swallowed' itself, the ferocious momentum of [Muddy Flow·Destruction] was tit-for-tat at first.

But then, after trying to spread it to more areas of Lan En's body, Lan En himself seemed to have no effect at all.

The pain of his flesh being eroded, and the powerlessness of his blood being depleted, could not stop him from 'devouring' the greatsword.

Then slowly, the black fog began to shrink silently.

And the blood that Lan En spilled on the broad sword surface could inexplicably no longer melt into it.
