Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1370 1342. [Body Light]

Then, after the Lady of the Lake enveloped Lann with the gentle lake light that represented her own power, the [Power of Sunshine] emerged from deep within the witcher's body.

That's why he was able to connect with the [Light of the Two Sacred Trees] in front of the Moon Goddess, and a total of three kinds of light protected his body, completely blocking the natural charm and influence of the superior on the creatures in the material world.

The Lady in the Lake said, "Lane has absorbed and mastered his power."
The gentle lake light was originally just a protection given by the Lady of the Lake to herself as the champion.

It's just that the power contained in this [Shelter] is of higher quality and larger volume.

But after all, it is a product imposed on Lan En by the outside world.

But when he was fighting with the Moon Goddess, the power of the superior repeatedly beat on Lan En's body, exerting pressure in every possible way.

This power also began to be truly accepted by Lan En.

During this time, the Moon Goddess's body was exposed to Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] along with the sword light, making his vision deeper and higher.

He even began to understand the power of "protection" that was being exerted upon himself.

Up to this point, things were still within the Lady of the Lake's understanding.

But then...
An ancient god died, was butchered head-on, and then burned.

According to the laws of the Yharnam world, a curse will certainly befall him after his death.

Then Lan En took over the largest share.

But then, the curse from the death of the superior entered Lan's body, but found that this thing went in but did not come out!

When the entity of the ancient god appeared before him, the light on Lan's body spontaneously resisted the influence of external higher forces.

Now that the ancient god is dead, the curse has been brought down and is about to dissipate, but these lights discovered that there are 'enemies' inside and began to spontaneously circle around and suppress them!

After all this time, the curse of the ancient god was completely suppressed on Lan En, and it couldn't show up at all, so Lan En himself didn't feel anything.

On the contrary, those lights were first tempered by the ancient god's entity with high-level power outside, and now they are suppressing the ancient god's curse inside.

Now it looks like a "light that has been forged".

Although the Lady of the Lake had no intention of taking back the power of protection that belonged to Lan En.

But looking at the situation now, it’s not easy for her to keep this thing even if she wants to.

Lan En himself scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

How could the power that someone gave me for self-defense somehow end up in my body?

It becomes a kind of energy that fills the body, so full that it naturally overflows with light, something similar to [body light].

It has no reaction to ordinary power, but will spontaneously emerge to resist or weaken the power that is particularly high-level and close to the essence.

It made his spirit and thinking clearer and quicker than before.

Given the nature of this [Body Light], even if he were to face the Demon King Lothric again now.

The mad king whose spells were so powerful that they were incomprehensible.

The current [Body Light] should at least be able to withstand his spells head-on several times.

Thinking back to when he was really fighting with Osloais, Lan En didn't dare to let himself be touched by his spells at all.

It was all due to his skills, and mainly because Osloais’s own soul had gone mad and wasted, that he was able to defeat that kind of person.

And now this [body light] within his body is the proof that he has killed an ancient god and withstood the tempering of the superior power!

If the power is not deep enough and high enough, then there will be no way to come into contact with the [Body Light] at all.

The two sides are not on the same level, like two non-intersecting parallel lines.

But then again, from the perspective of the Lady of the Lake now.

Lan's appearance is far more than just good-looking in the material world. Although his essence has always been very attractive, it is even more so now.
From a deeper level of observation of the world, the Lady of the Lake looked at the witcher in front of her, who was like an outline of beautiful and gentle light, but within that light was an abyss so strange and deep that people could not help but indulge in it.

The abyss had been completely suppressed by Lan En and was completely subdued by him.

The outline of light is like armor, or like inner moral discipline, binding the terrifying and deep darkness deep inside.

This makes people want to break through the shell of light and go deeper into it to pursue the inner taboos.

The witcher now blinked in confusion. He felt that the Lady of the Lake was getting closer and closer.

The breath that was originally just sniffing lightly around him now became heavy.

The lake green skin was fresh and delicate, and it seemed to be sticking to his face.
"Cough cough."

With a chilling calmness, this cough, inserted as precisely as a scalpel, broke the already ambiguous atmosphere cleanly and neatly like a sharp blade cutting through flesh.

Yharnam hunters have always been good at seizing opportunities to cut in.

Although the Lady of the Lake was interrupted, she looked as if she didn't care.

Lan En was not too shy, after all, he had experienced this kind of thing many times.

Only Adeline blinked her eyes like an electric fan, making people wonder if she was trying to fan out wind with her eyelids. "Is this the trend of this world?" The Blood Noble pressed his tricorn hat, and the corners of his mouth curled under the shadow of the hat brim, but at least he managed to hold it together. ".I kind of want to go back."

"No, this is a misunderstanding." Lan En refuted righteously, and walked to Maria's side. "The atmosphere here is actually quite good. This kind of thing rarely happens, huh."

As he spoke, Lan En nodded to himself, as if agreeing with himself.

Maria lowered her tricorn hat and looked at the goddess who looked indifferent and even a little unsatisfied.

Then he turned back to Lan's face.

Finally, for some reason, he nodded in understanding: "Indeed. It should be quite rare."

"Okay, we have to get ready to go."

After correcting the 'stereotypes' of the friends who had just arrived in this world, Lan said while waving his hand.

"Since I brought them here, you haven't said anything until now." The witcher turned and smiled at the Lady of the Lake. "Does that mean that the special blood in their bodies no longer has any hidden dangers worthy of your attention?"

The Lady of the Lake is the keeper of the Celestial Intersection Rift, a decision she made with her 'friends'.

Her first priority is to ensure that nothing that could threaten this world emerges from the celestial rift.

And it was because of this mission that Lan En made a contract with the lady.

Normally, the caretaker shouldn't let anything in.

But Flannel Ball and Kirin have long proven that the lady's guard is far from being so rigid.

That's why Lan En brought Maria and Adeline here to seek a safe treatment plan.

"Their blood is very dirty. At first I thought I was wrong." The lady sat on the wave throne and said as she rolled her long dark green hair with one finger.

"But it's no big deal. There's no powerful power left in that filth. As for specific treatments, or even blood transfusions, that's something you need to discuss with your sorceress lovers. I'm just a god, I don't understand these things."

Lan En raised his hands slightly to indicate that he had surrendered and decided to stop teasing himself.

"But speaking of your little lover." The Lady of the Lake seemed to have thought of something interesting. "The one with golden hair actually came to ask me why I didn't bring the kitten and the unicorn with me. She looked very worried."

"It's a new experience to be visited by a sorceress."

The last time, it was Lan En who brought Tishaya here, which was strictly speaking an introduction.

It was rare for the Lady of the Lake to be approached directly by the sorceress.

During the golden age when sorcerers were just beginning to develop, those powerful sorcerers each had their own goals and worries, and did not pay much attention to the gods.

Nowadays, most of the younger generation of warlocks are too proud to believe in the existence of gods.

When Lan En heard the lady's words, he lowered his head and smiled, with a hint of warmth in his smile.

Because he had never actually met the ancient gods of Yharnam before, Lan En didn't know whether they were separated by a world and whether simply saying their names would produce some abnormal effects, such as related dreams or something.

So I only communicated with the Lady of the Lake.

Thinking of this, he missed the dean's bedroom in Aretuza even more.

"Thank you for the information, ma'am. Leave the rest to me." Lan En took out a hooded cloak from the alchemical leather bag and put it on, then stroked the magic ring on his hand.

Far beyond the coastline of Gos Velen, a thunder suddenly exploded out of nowhere above the originally clear sea!
"Snapped!"

The sound of the high voltage current breaking through the air and hitting the sea actually seemed crisp.

There was a loud clap of thunder in the clear sky, and there was only this one clap of thunder.

This strange thunder is strange even in the ever-changing ocean climate.

But if the thunder was caused by a living creature, this would be completely understandable.

"puff!"

A large, blue and white, cat-like face emerged from the sea. It shook its head slightly, and its hydrophobic hair began to dry.

On the cat-like face, there was a piece of kelp in the corner of the mouth. The ruby-like eyes were blinking blankly, and at the same time, the kelp in the corner of the mouth was chewing with a "crunching" sound.

His dazed and peaceful look makes him look a lot like a capybara.

However, after the kelp was completely sucked into its mouth, it seemed to finally realize what it felt like to suddenly appear.

Then, it stood above the water easily from under the water as if it had jumped onto steps.

Lightning swirled among its mane, and gloomy black clouds flashing with lightning suddenly began to appear in the sky.

Qilin took two steps, then seemed to remember something and kicked his back. The thunderclouds in the sky and the lightning on his body disappeared at the same time.

It even uttered a silent 'huff' as two streams of hot air blew out of its big, wet nostrils.

Then there was a sharp and tiny explosion!

The figure of Qilin suddenly disappeared, and the waves caused by its speed surged up only two seconds later!
