Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1513 1485. 'Courtesy Appearance'

Lan En looked at the unknown demon hunter in front of him, and the surprise in his eyes came from many aspects.

First of all, after seeing his face, this guy was distracted for only a moment, and then he killed him without mercy or delay.

Such decisiveness and resolute will are rare.

Although Wuming attacked her directly a few days ago due to a misunderstanding, she was attacking her from behind at first, and she was slightly stunned after facing the enemy head-on.

Secondly, this demon hunter whose mask was blown away by the wind brought by the Qilin was also unexpectedly good-looking.

Her eyebrows and eyes are coordinated and delicate, and the beauty mole under the right corner of her eye adds some mature and gentle charm.

The whole person exudes a distant aura that is almost beyond the scope of normal humans, and is more like some kind of fey creature.

However, this temperament, which is somewhat close to "tranquility", at this moment reveals determination, caution and hostility in his eyes.

The contrast is even more impressive.

And the last point, and the one that concerned Lan En the most, was this woman’s martial arts and the strange power she possessed!

"Wow~"

A dreamy glow flashes.

As Lan En was confronting the demon hunter in front of him, the guardian spirit [Qilin] appeared behind Lan En.

Its neck bent from Lan's shoulder, and it looked down at the demon hunter opposite it calmly and nonchalantly.

The guardian spirits appear in the mutual stimulation and induction.

Behind this unknown demon hunter, there is a huge golden bird, flashing with lightning of the same color, and its feathers are as sharp as lightning.

After circling slightly in the air, it landed on the demon hunter's shoulder.

The big bird had a strong and solemn Shinto color on its body, and its face and beak were painted with Shinto patterns.

There is a circle of sun-shaped ornaments around the neck, floating in the void.

Even Lan En, who is not very familiar with Shintoism, can see that this guardian spirit seems to have a high status in the Shinto belief system.

The technical confrontation between them, the mutual sizing up of each other, and the guardian spirits being stimulated by each other and becoming visible, all happened in just a moment.

After this moment, the two of them retreated to their respective rears at the same time!

Lan En retracted his leg that was suppressing the opponent's two knives, while the opponent drew his knife and retreated at the same time.

Their respective guardian spirits also disappeared at the same time.

Lan En also caught a fluffy ball from the sky because the unicorn's attainment in [Light Body Technique] was higher than his, and thus his ability to stay in the air longer than his when he jumped off the unicorn's back.

It seems to be normal for people chosen by guardian spirits to show their guardian spirits to each other when they meet.

Unfortunately, the Felyne, who also had a guardian spirit, was caught by Lann before he could make the "courtesy appearance".

After the Monster Hunter and Lan En retreated at the same time, a huge and ferocious figure rushed straight through the gap between the two people!

"Moo!!!"

The Minotaur is like a rushing train!
He lowered his head and bumped into him!

The impact force of an ordinary bull is also calculated in tons. The impact force of the bull-headed ghost cannot be calculated in the scope of ordinary creatures!
Just by stepping on the ground with its feet, it would completely overturn the graves wherever it passed!
The tombstone was easily smashed, the coffin under the earth was overturned, and the bones flew everywhere!

The minotaur, who was rushing around in a daze but still as ferocious as ever, dispersed a lot of the original targeted hostility between the demon hunter and Lan En.

The two looked at each other.

The monster hunter saw the apology and embarrassment in Lan En's eyes, but living in the chaotic Warring States period, she did not dare to trust others easily.

But now, a huge monster was standing in front of them, and the other party seemed to want to stop.
The demon hunter's thoughts were cautious, with a hint of vigilance and confusion.

But in the end, the two katanas changed direction and pointed at the bull-headed demon that was charging forward.

Only the direction of the weapon changed, but the steps under his feet still maintained a distance from Lan En.

Lan En also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to make enemies with anyone for no reason.

Now that the hostility between the two humanoid creatures was temporarily put aside, their attention immediately shifted to the minotaur on the field.

Lan En, the minotaur who was nearly ten meters tall, twisted his neck and felt that the Sword of the Lady of the Lake was a little out of place in this situation.

The minotaur's charge didn't hit anyone.

But it didn't seem discouraged. It turned around suddenly, and the big iron rod it was dragging behind it hit the mountain wall behind it with a "clang".

Then he lowered his head, rubbed the ground with his feet, and rushed over!

The strong demonic energy gathered at the top of the impact point during its charge, and it had already manifested a thick black and red aura visible to the naked eye.

"La La La~"

The sound of a broad, blunt sword blade rubbing against the opening of the alchemical leather bag was heard. Under the eerie moonlight, a brutal and ferocious sword was pulled out by Lan En!
Facing the bull-headed ghost charging straight at him, Lan En held the broad, dark sword blade of [Turbid Flow·Destruction] in front of him. After just one breath, the light red flame of fighting spirit would burst out at a delicate moment when the two sides just made contact!
Lan En's grasp of timing is precise and confident. [Great Sword Technique: Iron Mountain Lean]!
The bull likes to butt heads? Great!
It's just the right time to smash the horn on your head into pieces!
The ball of fluff that had just landed lightly on Lan En's shoulder also reacted immediately.

The kitten jumped nimbly, two kitten swords already in its hands.

The long-lost large monsters similar to those in its hometown seemed to make it very excited.

Felyn's spine twisted instinctively in excitement as he adjusted his combat posture.

However, just when Lan En had estimated the exact contact time, the flannel ball had already gathered its strength and was about to explode with fighting spirit flames on its body surface.
With a whoosh sound!

An extremely swift blue shadow rushed straight away from Lan En and the others!

And he took a step ahead and collided head-on with the bull-headed ghost that was charging at him!

Fluff Ball and Lan En were so shocked that they thought Qilin had pulled themselves out of the riverbed they had just crashed into.

However, due to their familiarity with Qilin, they realized immediately that this couldn't be Qilin!
First of all, although this swift figure left a blurry afterimage in the air, it was not as big as the Qilin.

Secondly, the Qilin’s body is mostly white, mixed with the blue of lightning.

This shadow is mostly deep blue.

"what!"

The dark blue figure exhaled and spoke.

Although the swift speed looks like a short-distance burst, there is no doubt that the speed of this burst is comparable to Qilin's [Lightning Flash]!

At most, it was a dark blue figure of the size of an ordinary person, colliding head-on with the Minotaur.

It looks just like a toy car colliding with a hundred-ton truck on the road!
But the result was totally unexpected!
There was a muffled 'bang' sound!
The dark blue figure rushed straight in front of the Bull-Headed Ghost, and the black and red evil aura was so thick that it was visible to the naked eye!
And she used some unknown technique to directly disperse the strong evil spirit!

To ordinary people, the actions of monsters seem to be full of energy and physical strength, but in fact they all rely on stubborn monster energy.

The dark blue figure directly dispersed the evil spirit, and the seemingly unstoppable charge of the Minotaur immediately weakened!

Even the dissipation of demonic energy affected the stability of its own body's mass. When it was finally forced to stop, it seemed to have little inertia left.

After stopping the Minotaur's charge, the dark blue shadow either reached the limit of its short-distance explosive movement or its momentum was affected when it was hit.

She paused in mid-air.

It was this pause that allowed Lan and the fluff ball to see it clearly.

That figure was the demon hunter from before!
However, now, only the face of the demon hunter remained the same as before.

The original clothes and weapons on her body had disappeared, replaced by thick skin and keratin that had grown and covered her like a monster or demon.

The dark blue color of these thick skins and cuticles is the source of the color of the shadow just now.

The color is dark blue, and the pattern in which they are distributed on the skin is more like the appearance of gods and demons in Japanese religious scrolls and murals.

Thick skin and keratin, with cloud and fire patterns drawn on the skin, wrapping the body like armor.

A streamer floated automatically without wind, from the front of the shoulders to the back.

[Yokai transformation·Swift]!
And this image only lasted for a moment.

After a moment, the demon hunter's original appearance was revealed as if an illusion had been removed.

The demon hunter who had just emerged from the mysterious and strange appearance had his hands already clenched on the handles of the two katana swords at his waist, and his body bent like a spring with full force.

Following closely behind were two streaks of sword light!
"Shua!"*2
[Cross Cut]!
The two katanas on the waist performed Iai at the same time. Under the refinement of martial arts skills, the rapid unsheathing and slashing of the two swords did not affect each other's routes, but instead could quickly expand the wound!
The location chosen by the demon hunter was very tricky, her [Cross Slash] landed on the Minotaur's ankle!

In this position, the Minotaur's loose armor provided no protection at all.

And if this place was injured, then the powerful impact just now would definitely not be able to be used again.

Unfortunately, the two katanas in the monster hunter's hands were not very long.

Even though she used martial arts to increase the power, the natural limitations of the weapon's shape still made her attacks on the Minotaur feel like scraping.

Under the minotaur's red skin, two large cross-shaped cuts were made by the blade.

Golden light mist burst out from its wound.

But that's about it.

The two swords didn't even penetrate into its bones and tendons, they simply cut through the thick outer skin and muscles.

The demon hunter seemed to be fully aware of the damage he could cause and was used to it.

She was neither desperate nor irritated, but continued to plan the routes of the two swords in an orderly manner.

But a loud shout made her look sideways.

"Step aside!"
