Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1775 1747. Against the Mountain Wind
"Varied……?!"

The attack and defense happened in a split second, but this time it was Lan who took advantage of the speed and crushed Demos, causing him to not even have time to react.

The weighted ball on the hilt of the sword hit him in the face three times in a row, and exploded three times in a row on his golden protective shield.

The protective shield activated by the Sword of Damocles looks much stronger than the [Quen Seal].

So even though Demos couldn't react in time, and his combat experience and awareness had not adapted to the situation of being at a disadvantage, he himself was not too panicked.

This is the confidence that the Isu artifact gave him.

However, as Lan En changed his tactics and used the martial arts techniques he learned in the magical Japanese Warring States world, he was able to directly bring out the energy and strength in his body.

No matter how slow Demos was, he should have been able to sense that something was wrong with his body.

The demigod, whose body was covered in golden light, had his eyes widened and his face turned pale!
But he didn't give in at all.

"Poison?" Deimos sneered. "That's it?"

Lan En's three consecutive blows from the hilt of his sword made him retreat half a step.

But the sword of Damocles that had been blocked just now was now back in control.

"You're going to die right here! Drink!"

Relying on the golden shield on his body, Demos did not continue to attack after regaining control of the Greek dagger in his hand. Instead, he turned the dagger over and stabbed it into the ground!
Lan En, who was originally preparing to go up and continue chopping, raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

He flipped the fingers on his left hand and formed a [Quen Seal].

Unlike technology, a golden light film formed by chaos magic covers the entire body of the demon hunter.

And the next moment, there was a "click!"
There was a sound like glass breaking, and Lan En's body was shattered and thrown more than three meters away.

This means that [Quen's Seal] only took on excessive damage in a split second! In the end, it could only use the impact of the reverse explosion to push the demon hunter away from the source of the damage.

The attack that instantly overloaded the [Quen Seal] was a golden circle that suddenly appeared on the ground.

With the sword of Damocles that Deimos stabbed into the ground as the center, a circular circle appeared on the ground, like a flashing flash light, and a flash of golden light passed by.

But even though it was only a fleeting flash, the golden light still made a sizzling sound in the air like high temperature.

Next to Demos, there were a lot of marble fragments that he had just smashed.

These white high-grade carving stones, after a flash of golden light, had no trace on the surface, but then they made continuous "cracking" sounds and then broke into even more pieces.

That is the material cracking caused by the stone experiencing instantaneous high temperature and then being cooled by the environment, resulting in thermal expansion and contraction.

Inside the golden shield, Demos watched indifferently as Lann dodged the high-temperature light ring on the ground.

But he did not get up from the ground and pull out the sword of Damocles.

Instead, the arm holding the hilt of the sword stuck in the ground exerted more force! The angular muscles swelled up, and the blood vessels distributed on the muscles also expanded and thickened.

"Hide? See how many you can hide from?"

In a flash, Lan En's eyes swept around. Although there seemed to be nothing unusual on the floor of the workshop, his [spiritual vision] had already seen that in the next moment, many circles of golden light, the same as before, would explode from the ground!

It seemed that because Demos was not strong enough, he did not have the ability or willingness to directly launch a wide-area attack.

He simply densely distributed many circles of the same size as the previous one, intending to block Lan's moving space and restrict his moving direction, thus trapping him and forcing him to take the attack head-on.

This method relies heavily on the judgment of the battlefield and the estimation of the enemy.

Demos's combat intelligence is more than enough to deal with ordinary people in this world, and even those who have Isu genes and can use artifacts.

But facing the demon hunter who has traveled through many worlds and experienced many battles that ordinary people cannot imagine... Mentos and Lan En had already planned out at least two safe routes in just a glance around.

Lan En was strolling leisurely in the garden, and at this moment he only moved his feet slightly.

And the high temperature light that burst out from the ground the next moment was unable to cover him at all.

Demos, who had a fierce look on his face just now, had a frozen expression on his face.

He was like a poor student who had encountered a difficulty in mathematics. Before seeing the teacher's explanation, he had never thought that this problem could be solved in this way.

He never thought that he could stand where Lan En was now to avoid the high temperature and light on the ground.

But there is no doubt that his large-scale attack just now had no effect. Instead, it released too much power of himself and the Sword of Damocles in a short period of time.

Lan En felt the back of his hand a little.

Just now, while avoiding the attack through extraordinary experience and the computing power of the biochemical intelligent computer, he experimentally rubbed the back of his hand against the edge of the aperture.

I want to experience the power of the Sword of Damocles, the Isu artifact, for myself.

There was indeed a 'sizzling' sound from Smaug's gauntlet, but that was all.

This set of armor allows one to withstand the high temperature of the Flame Dragon [Supernova]. The continuous burning high temperature is much more harmful than the instantaneous high temperature that is shining with golden light.

The flame of a lighter is thousands of degrees, but as long as people are quick enough, two fingers are enough to extinguish it.

Many times, the damage that temperature can cause sounds very serious at several thousand degrees, but without contact time, these temperatures are unlikely to have much effect.

The high-temperature golden light flashed by like a camera flash.

But Lan had already dodged and approached Demos again.

The opponent did not have the strength to release the ground halo again in a short period of time, so he simply drew out the Greek dagger to fight the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the witcher raised his arm before the sword could reach him.

He held the knife above his head with both hands, followed by a sudden loud shout!
"what!"

【Sword Energy】!
A circle of air waves spread out from Lan En's steady and powerful roar. When the air wave reached Demos, a flash of white smoke came out from his body.

Demos's face turned paler.

"What the hell is this?!"

The sudden fatigue and weakness in the body made Demos know that this was definitely not a poison, no matter how slow-witted he was.

But he just thought that this should be the effect of some magical weapon he had never seen before.

But what magical weapon could be more powerful than the Sword of Damocles in his hand?
Demos was very confident in this point, so he just wanted to wait until he could unleash the power of the Greek dagger in his hand again, then it didn't matter what kind of influence the other party used with the strange artifact!

The ordinary artifacts in this world are just fragments of Isu technology, fused into the artifacts. But his sword was made entirely from the Isu forge!

The confidence in his heart made Demos take action instead of sitting still.

The sword of Damocles was quickly pulled out from the ground, and then stabbed forward like a poisonous snake!
The sword was illuminated by the light from within, like topaz, but it did not wait for Demos to complete his thrust.

"when!"

Lan En dodged and slashed with his knife! The silver light of the knife and the golden light of technology intertwined.

[Water-Shaped Sword·Reverse Wave]!
The force of the rebound was profound and complex, but it shook his body like a wave! This really broke Demos's posture.

Not only that, his energy and physical strength were also weakened to an extremely scarce level.

But even though his originally healthy face suddenly turned almost pale, Demos still managed to hold on and forcibly pulled the blocked Greek dagger back to his chest.

——Because if he hadn’t returned to defend, he would have been hacked to death now!
"Time la la!"

The blades of the Greek dagger and the elven long sword bit into each other, making a harsh sound of metal friction.

According to the martial arts style of the magical Japanese Warring States world, when facing a human enemy, after using [Reverse Wave] to greatly weaken the opponent's energy and physical strength, of course, the subsequent [Mountain Wind] must be used to suppress it, or even directly kill it!

Lan En deflected Demos's straight thrust, and then the blade that was originally slashing upwards turned back in an instant! Then he held the handle of the knife with one hand, and pressed the wrist of the other hand on the back of the knife, and cut towards the enemy in a crushing manner!

This knife-holding posture can greatly increase the force of the knife's downward pressure, which is also known as [Mountain Wind].

If Deimos had not immediately pulled back the Sword of Damocles and held it across his chest, diagonally upward, there was no telling how deep Arondette's blade had penetrated into his body.

"M-Malaca!"

Demos' handsome and masculine face was now distorted due to facial compensation caused by excessive physical exertion.

His teeth were clenched and his masseter muscles were bulging, and the curse words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth with difficulty.

Lan En was very relaxed. His strength was already a crushing advantage over Demos, and now he was using a series of suppressing martial arts such as [Against the Wave] and [Mountain Wind].

The demon hunter approached the other person from a high position, his hair falling down like melted silver, and chuckled: "You are... quite energetic now."

As if to intimidate him, Lan En controlled the speed of pressing the blade down very slowly, but the force on it did not allow him to resist at all.

"Alexios," Lan said, looking down into his eyes, "wake up! Cassandra has found your mother!"

Cassandra is a free and powerful warrior, with a dual temperament of bohemian freedom and serious authority, and Lan likes this temperament of hers.

But even as such a warrior, what she always pursued was the reunion of the broken family of her childhood.

On this vast Aegean Sea, this powerful and beautiful woman only pursues this.

And Lan had already promised: he would help her complete her odyssey.
