Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1361. Burn

Mentos couldn't quite understand how Lan had defeated a sword.

Even if this sword can be called a "sword-shaped Nergigante", it is brainless after all, right? Can it be "submissive" without a brain?

And inexplicably, Mentos always felt that what made [Muddy Flow·Destruction] surrender was not Lan En's ruthlessness and cruelty of using his fingertips to dig out the debris from the sword and then "eat" it back.

The methods that seemed cruel and almost self-harming were actually just necessary deterrence and admonition.

That unquestionable determination and resolve were the key that allowed Lan En to tame the sword despite his extremely weak body.

But isn't this even more impossible?!

It was incredible that a brainless sword could be defeated, but now it was directly defeated by the so-called will and momentum?
Can it really feel those things?

But no matter how the worldview of the biochemical intelligent brain is refreshed by its own subject, the facts are the facts and what happened has happened.

The black fog that was flashing with blood-red electric light, [Dragon Attribute Energy] was like a receding tide, even with a bit of caution and prudence, as it retreated from the side of Lan En's neck where it had already climbed up.

"呲呲~"

After the black mist faded away, thin streams of blood spurted out from Lan En's bloody neck, where there was no flesh left.

The blood vessels in his neck had been broken by the [Dragon Attribute Energy] in the previous moment.

The blood vessels that were originally beating as the heart pumped blood were now just spurting out blood in streams.

When the black mist was completely retracted into the sword, Lan En's neck, one shoulder below, and his entire hand were all exposed.

Sparse blood and flesh threads were entangled on the fine steel cables that were moistened by the blood, and underneath were the same eroded and bumpy muscles, with bones even exposed in some places.

The face, which was so pale that it was almost transparent, but which made it look even more fragile, still lay calmly on the body.

The broken body seems to have a kind of inorganic beauty.

However, Lan En no longer cares about "aesthetics".

His cold and deep eyes lowered and looked at the greatsword lying in front of him.

His blood spilled onto it like a fountain, but disappeared in an instant.

This blood was not eaten by [Turbid Flow·Destruction], but returned to his body out of thin air under the power of the ancient god.

So, that's good.

At least, the sword has learned to obey.

With such a large and deep area of ​​skin loss, continuous bleeding, and heart puncture, the [Belisarius Furnace] in Lan's chest had already started working at full capacity.

There was also the [Advanced Swallow] that he had drunk in advance. This highly poisonous alchemical product was also repairing this body in the way of a demon hunter.

So on the other side of the shoulder and neck, the still intact skin began to spread and regenerate from the eroded gap.

The skin began to wrap around the exposed steel cables and muscle tissue again.

Lan En lowered his head, as if not even looking at his rapidly growing skin.

He just stared at the dark sword.

Compared with before, the hand that was even weaker than before grasped the solid hilt of the sword that was tied with the dragon skin of the Annihilator Dragon.

Lan couldn't even hold his hand tightly.

But he spoke softly to the great sword as if it were an order, as if it was a matter of course.

The tone was as light as breathing.

"Burning, flame."

Then the fire started!
Starting from the hilt of the sword, which Lan En couldn't even hold tightly.

The steel suddenly cracked, just like a solid hilt of a sword being crushed by the force of the grip!

The cracks continued to spread from under Lan En's palm until the blade of the greatsword approached the opening of the alchemical leather bag, where they slowly became smaller and finally disappeared.

And in the cracks where the steel collapsed, there was a red and shiny hot flame like lava!
But the moment the fire appeared, the white flower that was suppressed by [Turbid Flow·Destruction] turned directly into charred black and even turned into ashes.

Moreover, no matter how exaggerated the battle scene was or how destructive the force was, it would return to its original state after the destruction, just like a dreamlike, immortal sea of ​​flowers.
After being burned by [Muddy Flow·Destruction], the ground was truly just charred black.

It seemed as if even the dream itself, which was a neutral scene, would be burned under the flames.

The wound on Lan En's chest that led directly to his heart was spurting blood non-stop from beginning to end.

Therefore, when he activated the [Combat Skill: Afterfire] on the greatsword, it was exactly at the same time.

"Stab!"

A violent sound like cold water being poured onto a hot iron plate came from the blade of the greatsword lying on the ground.

Lan En's blood temperature is not low, but compared with [Remnant Fire], it is far behind.

The scarlet liquid that looked completely normal splashed onto the greatsword, which had already distorted the air around it with its heat.

In just a blink of an eye, everything was burned away without a trace. The blood was constantly being burned, but Lan En's mouth was getting wider and wider.

Because it was very obvious that he began to feel that the bloating feeling in his body was turning into a feeling of emptiness at a very fast speed.

The blood that was burned by the [remnant fire] will never come back!
"Sir, in your body.!"

At the same time, Mentos, who finally dared to speak in the tense atmosphere, immediately reported the abnormal conditions of the [Hymn Gland] and [Gene Seed] to the main body in the form of charts.

While the biochemical intelligent brain was in a confused state, these two ordinary super organs that could only perform some predetermined functions mechanically suddenly seemed to have intelligence.

With the synergistic effect of the two of them, Lan En's entire body's recovery ability all went in the direction of hematopoiesis!
It was as if the injuries to other parts of the body had been analyzed by the two of them in conjunction with the external situation, and they finally reached a risk assessment report.

Totally ignored!
Old blood is being burned and new blood is being formed rapidly.

Regardless of whether it was a last breath or some other state, Lan En only felt that he was becoming more and more awake.

But as he began to sober up, something else started to feel wrong.

'What is that?'

The Moon Goddess, who had an expression of "the outcome has been decided anyway" at the beginning, did not even move. She just lay on the ground and raised her severed claws towards Lan En.

But now, the white flowers were being crushed and rubbed by Him, making a rustling sound. The strange face was staring straight at Lan En and the big sword lying in front of him.

For the first time, the communication coming from [Clairvoyance] seemed to contain some emotions that humans could understand.

'That blood! What did you do?!'

"Did what? Isn't it obvious?"

Blood was oozing from the corners of Lan's mouth, but he still smiled hoarsely and whispered.

The blood came out after the blood vessels in his neck broke.

"I burned the blood from your manipulations! What else could it be?"

The wound on his chest was still spurting blood, but not much.

Because the [Gene Seed] and [Holy Gland] seemed to have calculated it long ago. After accelerating the production of a batch of fresh blood to participate in the physiological circulation, they began to heal the wound on his chest.

Replacing blood throughout the body is not an easy process.

Just like now, the blood spurting from Lan En's chest toward [Turbid Flow·Destruction] has begun to be mixed with the blood that has just been produced in his body.

Two liquids with no difference in composition are mixed together. If you want to completely remove one of them, you have to replace both.

It will take several days to slowly bleed and replace the blood.

The reason why Mentos said it like he saw a ghost was that the [Hymn Gland] and [Gene Seed] seemed to have been calculated.

This is because when the two of them began to repair the damage to Lan's chest and heart, the content of the two types of blood reached a balance point.

The newly produced blood in Lan's body has reached its maximum capacity to support the body's operations. Continuing to bleed in large quantities may lead to weakening.

So now, the young man only felt that his body had quickly recovered to about 40% to 50% of its previous normal state from the state of almost drying up and dying of powerlessness just now.

His physical condition was less than half of what it was normally, almost like a cripple, but it was enough.

Lan En, who originally couldn't even support himself to stand up, now staggered a little, but at least he stood up again.

At this time, more than half of one of his arms was still exposed, with steel cables and muscles beneath the skin, but not a drop of blood was flowing out.

The recovery ability in his body was being fully repaired, and the blood that had been 'modulated' by the Moon Goddess would not disappear from his body easily.

So at this moment, although Lan En felt that he had to take several breaths just to stay standing, it was much better than just now when he felt that all the blood in his body was going to dry up and he would die in the next second.

Although the young demon hunter was shaking his head drowsily and staggering even when he was standing due to exhaustion, the Moon Goddess, whose body was chopped off, became more and more excited.

'Why? ’

"what why?"

Lan En calmly picked up the Sword of the Lady of the Lake that he had thrown aside, and asked the superior who was communicating with him through [Spiritual Vision].

"Why, you just won't accept my invitation! Your fate!"

"Why, do you really want to stay in this narrow field of vision? ! "

The Moon Goddess's severed limb was now sticking on the ground, and the cut on that limb was just like Lan En's fingertips before, bleeding with a sizzling sound because of the squeezing!

And his still intact claw slowly and forcefully dug into the soil.

'Don't you want to see farther and higher? ! '

'You just want to be a tiny creature? A human being?!'

Lan En gripped the hilt of the Sword of the Lady of the Lake with great effort, grinned, smiled happily, and gasped for breath.
