Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1801 1773. Cross-insertion
A whistling boulder crashed down from the sky!

The wind created in an instant by the huge mass is enough to make ordinary people feel an indescribable palpitation.

"boom!"

Lan En slightly turned sideways, allowing the stone to pass by him.

The surging airflow only messed up his molten silver hair a little, but it had no other effect.

On the contrary, it was behind Lan En.

"Bang! Karala!"

Just like the ammunition from a catapult hitting the city wall, the man-sized boulder hit the edge of the broken wall where Lan En had just jumped.

The Isu people's building materials exploded under the impact. The building materials themselves did not collapse greatly, but the terrain and rock walls on which the buildings relied were shattered and fell off.

The rocks were shaken off the rock wall and fell into an abyss of unknown depth.

Finely divided lime and dust emerged from the shattering of the rock, exploding into a cloud of smoke, making it difficult to see the break where Lan En had just jumped.

Heavy footsteps and panting sounds came rapidly from the deep darkness in front of Lan En, approaching quickly!

"Boom boom boom!"

That was the sound of a heavy body stepping on the ground.

A monster about three and a half meters tall, with bulging muscles all over its body, rushed out!

Its terrifying and savage figure was faintly visible in the dim light of the crystal light strips on the ground and walls, which added a lot of weird atmosphere.

To be honest, this venue alone was enough to scare the ancient Greeks, who had never seen any supernatural creatures or phenomena, into mental breakdown.

But it was clear to Lan En from the beginning.

It was a minotaur that fit the description in mythology and legends.

He was strong and ferocious, his skin stained with the blood of humans who had entered the maze throughout the ages.

Most of the body is bare skin, but the back, limbs and other places are covered with thick, hard hair.

But the most striking thing about it is not the similarities with cows, but the pair of eyes that overflow with golden light.

There is also a glowing right horn among the two raised horns on its head.

Those golden lights were consistent with the phenomena produced when the Spear of Leonidas or the Sword of Damocles were activated at high intensity.

——It is the technological characteristic of the Isu people.

Without any hesitation or curiosity, the Minotaur seemed to be filled with murderous intent the moment he took all life other than himself into his field of vision.

Even wild animals in the wild, when they encounter prey and are not under too much pressure, will become playful, but the Minotaur did not have that kind of mood.

This kind of madness and bloodlust has almost gone beyond the savagery of wild beasts, and is more like some kind of... setting?
"It's not just a fusion of cow and human," Lan En muttered calmly when he saw the Minotaur charging towards him, "It uses its front limbs to support itself and move around, so it also has some gorilla elements."

The Minotaur lowered his rough horns, which were raised high, and charged like a real bull.

Its movement habits are very similar to those of a bull, but in terms of strength alone, dozens of bulls combined are no match for its impact!
And Lan, at the very beginning, was indeed prepared to make a perfect response, just like every enemy he had dealt with before who started with a charge.

But after a moment, the demon hunter did not continue with his response, but instead suddenly stepped sideways and crouched!
"call!"

A dull sound of wind exploded!
A golden afterimage was thrown out from behind the Minotaur as he was charging headfirst!

The sound of the wind from heavy weapons was not sharp at all, but so heavy that it made it difficult to breathe!
That's a double-headed axe!
There is an axe blade on each side of the axe, and the top of the axe is decorated with an abstract bull's head.

The entire axe looked like it was made of pure metal and was of a size that matched the Minotaur's body.

When it rushed over just now, it was dragging this thing behind it and running forward. If you were frightened and attracted by it for a moment, you might really ignore such a dazzling, brutal and exaggerated heavy weapon.

But unfortunately, Lan En remained very calm from beginning to end.

He stepped sideways and crouched down, then the axe swung from behind the Minotaur went straight into the air.

But even so, the air pumped by the axe still cut the lime smoke that had been blown up by the collapse of the rock wall behind Lan En, like a hot knife cutting a block of oil.

The smoke ball was suddenly split into two balls of different sizes in the middle by the air pulled by the axe.

But the Minotaur's attack was not over yet.

After the axe missed, Lan En moved to the side of it. However, its bull head would not only push forward stupidly, but also shake its head to the side, which is a normal way for all kinds of bulls to attack.

"Moo!"

From the cow's mouth, which was foaming and breathing hot air, came a sound that sounded very much like a cow's, but was totally not a sound that should be made by any living creature in nature.

It tilted its head and raised its horns, its entire body jumping up in this movement, releasing all its strength in a single movement.

One of the rough horns, glowing and the other not, were like two spears, stabbing straight up towards Lan En's chest!

"Ding!!!" But suddenly, a clear silver light exploded and hit the golden right corner of the Minotaur from the side!
A burst of sparks briefly illuminated the surrounding darkness.

The flash of fire illuminated the witcher's amber cat eyes.

Because he was not sure whether the opponent's golden horn had any abnormal abilities, Lan En decisively chose to use the Sword of the Lady of the Lake to deflect the opponent's horn.

The effect is immediate.

"Moo! Boom!"

The Minotaur roared, and his body, unable to stop, crashed into the side wall.

Even the Isu's building materials could not withstand the monster's rampage.

Just now, a rock as big as an adult was thrown at it like a catapult, but there was not much broken building materials as a whole.

Now, under the impact of the Minotaur's full body, a wall collapsed directly!

The huge rock that was thrown at us just now was just the force of the Minotaur throwing it with one hand!

The violent minotaur crashed down a wall in the maze and continued to roar.

The Isu building materials that hit it were pushed and thrown away by it like foam boards!

White foam was still spitting out of the cow's mouth, making it look like a mad cow. But its eyes full of golden light made it look almost sacred.

But Lan En didn't care whether it was sacred or not.

"bass!"

The soles of shoes made a sharp friction sound with the ground.

Lan En, who had just swung his long sword to block the minotaur's horn attack in the previous moment, suddenly disappeared like green smoke in the next moment!
When he appeared again, the witcher was already near the side of the Minotaur!
"Oh!"

There was a dull thud, and the collision between Lan's foot and the Minotaur's thick knee caused an air wave that swept away dust and gravel.

The minotaur, who was about to stand up with the axe, was knocked to the side by the attack that precisely hit his center of gravity.

"Moo...!"

It was still roaring, but this time, before its thick throat, which was emitting hot steam, could utter a complete roar, a palm that was smaller than its neck but still big enough for it was reached.

Just pinch the front of its neck!

Lan's grip was so strong that his fingers, wrapped in the gauntlet, were like kneading dough! He tightly grasped the Minotaur's blood vessels and trachea.

Rough animal skins and hair, and muscles strong enough to crush rocks, flowed out from Lan's fingers like fluid.

This one grab was enough to turn the tissue in the Minotaur's neck into a rotten mass of flesh just by the explosive and terrifying grip between the fingers and palm!
The thick black hide of the Devil Rex on the palm of the gauntlet rubbed against the flesh on the Minotaur's neck, making a "crunching" sound.

The huge bull's head was grabbed by the neck and forcibly pulled close to Lan En.

Immediately afterwards...

"Stab!"

Aarondette's gracefully curved blade pierced directly into the side of the neck!
The sharp tip and blade of the knife tore through the opponent's tough skin and flesh, the many blood vessels and trachea in the neck, and finally the bloodless blade protruded from the other end of the neck.

Although Lan En did not deliberately use any particularly sophisticated techniques, the air blade has become a passive ability in his every move.

Therefore, on the side where the blade was exposed, the Minotaur's thick neck was gushing blood from the narrow blade edge, like a shower head with full water pressure.

Generally speaking, no matter how strong the beast or even how strong the person is, he will basically be killed if he is hit by this blow.

However, Lan En, who was grabbing the minotaur's neck and stabbing it with a knife, frowned instead.

He immediately stirred the hand holding the Sword of the Lady of the Lake violently to enlarge the wound.

And at this moment, it seems that this is not enough.

The long knife that had been stuck in the Minotaur's neck was pulled horizontally by him!
With a "swish!", the minotaur's neck, which was as thick as a strong man's waist, was cut in half in the blink of an eye!

This kind of scene is rare for Lan En.

His fighting style has always been precise and accurate, coupled with his extraordinary sensory abilities and his ability to see the truth. He rarely causes unnecessary damage to his enemies.

Because it would waste energy and look really inelegant.

On the contrary, Cassandra often does this when dealing with enemies.

She often used the broken spear in her hand to pierce the enemy's neck, and then she had to use her hands to bend the person's head to the side and break the cervical vertebrae.

The difference has nothing to do with the difference in their qualities as warriors. They are both talented and outstanding warriors who have made themselves strong.

This is just a habit that the two of them developed naturally when facing different enemies in different combat environments.
