Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 932 914. Fire Sacrifice Site

The contest between the two ended in an unexpected turn.

But that's what tactical mistakes can do in combat.

"thorn"

The body, which had lost the power of its soul to control its injuries, was cut open by the clear blade and the rapidly flowing air blade on the blade.

Guda's body lying on the ground was only half twisted under his powerful brute force.

He turned over the rocks, earth and stones under the ground like cotton.

But after all, his movements were no faster than Lan En's knife.

In the end, his hard struggle only caused Arondette's knife edge to move from the back of his neck to the side of his neck.

Under the action of the blood brought out by the airflow blade, the clear blade light spread out in a fan shape, followed by a spray of blood like a fountain!
Lan En's blade is very deep, which is not only due to his own strength and skill, but also due to the incomparable sharpness of the Lake Lady's Sword itself.

Their heights are basically the same as Lan En's, and the black armors overlap and cover them. If you look closely, you can see that there is a silver texture underneath.

"They were originally the Silver Knights who guarded the Gods. In the age of mythology, the elite Silver Knights followed King Gwen to fight against the demons, the creatures created by the out-of-control experiments of the Witch of Izaris. The flames of the demons destroyed the Silver Knights' armor. Blackened, you become a black knight."

The heavy door was pushed open by two people with a dry squeaking sound.

Although Guda's kick just now was quite harsh, but with Lan En's alchemy skills, [Higher Swallow] was enough.

But there was an anxiety and anger rising deep in his heart, and this negative emotion was like a puddle of asphalt or crude oil entangled in his mind.

After entering the door, there is a winding mountain road uphill.

"When you fully recover, we should also go through two moves."

He took out a bottle of [High-grade Swallow] and took a sip. The potion's potency began to stimulate the body's rapid recovery.

There is a heavy and tall door there. The key to the Fire Sacrifice and the survival of the world is behind that door.

The witcher knows it all: the darkness within him is growing stronger as the First Fire dims.

It seems to be a characteristic of the strong men in this world when they die, a wisp of soul like a flame emerges on Guda's limp body.

"I just thought you could provide me with more Guda fighting moves."

Instead, it made my stomach bleeding worse.

Then another mouthful of blood surged up from his esophagus.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to defeat the hero Guda."

The expert tilted his head towards Lan En and said.

Lan En, who won a speed race, seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

Lan En's hand was trembling a little out of strength, but he still touched the alchemy leather bag on his waist.

Although [Zhao Fu Stone] has been recovering his body, in order to surpass Guda's movements just now, he adjusted his breathing and forced himself to speed up.

The hero Guda's cervical vertebrae were severed, leaving only a layer of skin and flesh still connected.

Now, the surrounding environment is very dark.

This indicates that the weakening of the initial fire is more serious. Moreover, Lan En's body is currently recovering rapidly from [Higher Swallow] and [Early Recovery Stone].

Several tall and majestic black armored knights, armed with different weapons, were scattered on this complex terrain.

"This is the Black Knight."

"Later, they followed King Gwyn into the First Furnace and burned, becoming ashes. That was the first Fire Transmission in history. They were also the first group of Ashes in history."

"And to make sure we still have room to survive two moves, we should go in and take a look."

All that was left was nervous twitching and pulling on the ground from time to time.

There were not many of them, but each of them could tell just from the guys in their hands that they were definitely not ordinary knights.

After Lan En finished speaking, the two of them looked at the other end of the ceremony venue.

It's just that it doesn't show a crystal blue color like Osloais. But it is orange-yellow like a real flame.

He walked to Guda's body, and while speaking to Lan En, he bowed slightly to Guda's body.

In the helmet's observation hole, it was completely dark, and it was impossible to see whether there was an exact person or something else under the helmet.

"You are a respectable warrior." After bowing to the corpse, the expert turned slightly and said with burning eyes to Lan En, who was already breathing heavily.

It is a common expression of the intention to die in this world. Tombstones and sarcophagi can be seen everywhere on the winding mountain roads.

The foot that was originally on Guda staggered back two steps, his body swaying and almost losing his balance.

The expert's thin face showed expectation, but Lan En always felt that it was not an expectation for a 'good knife'.

The majestic and tall body immediately collapsed after the sword light, losing the ability to move.

But in the end, as long as you win, everything will be easy.

Lan En put Alondette back into the scabbard without comment: "If the world hasn't collapsed by then, then why not?"

Lan put it away.

The expert walked down from the arched door of the ceremony venue. As he walked, he looked at Lan En in surprise and the Sword of the Lake Lady in his hand.

As he spoke, the expert bent down slightly, pressing the scabbard with one hand and holding the handle of the knife with the other.

He put on a posture ready to draw his sword and strike.

"Too much time has passed and they are all groggy now."

"Even though they were only separated by a door, no one noticed what happened at the ceremony. Only the black knight who saw Guda's resistance fought with him and died in the end." "Unless you give it to them. After seeing the proof from the Lothric royal family, they will be silent and obedient, otherwise we will have to fight you regardless of why you came to the Fire Sacrifice."

The expert pressed the knife, lowered his center of gravity and moved forward.

And just as he said, the black knights who noticed someone coming were silent. They just pulled out their weapons like machines and walked towards the person.

It was a posture of starting the fight without saying a word or asking any questions.

Lan En frowned and looked at the expert who was about to take action.

In [Spiritual Vision], the flow of soul power and physical power in the expert became clear.

Lan En clearly saw the [combat skills] engraved by the power of the soul on the fighting knife at the expert's waist. It was quite interesting.

A [combat skill] that combines sword-drawing and [blocking]?

He made a mental note of the way in which the power of the soul and the power of the body flowed, but the demon hunter was not prepared to fight the Knights of the Mythical Age after a fight with the hero Guda.

So, he silently took out the small flag given to him by Emma's officiant.

Experts say that the Black Knight only takes orders from the Lothric royal family. This is actually a vague understanding of outsiders.

These knights, who have been lethargic for a long time and only become active in battle, are actually obeying the power of Lothric.

And the one-third pillar of royal power represented by the officiant is undoubtedly part of this power.

As a result, the expert who put on the [Combat Skill] posture was stunned when he saw the tall black knight on the opposite side stop in his tracks as soon as he was halfway there.

And not only did he stop, he even put away his weapons.

The expert was still stunned, but Lan En had already walked past him holding a small flag.

The black knight turned sideways and made way for Lan En.

"Do you still have people stationed here?"

Lan En asked the black knight in front of him, and the black knight nodded slowly after an obviously dull silence.

The layers of biting armor made a stiff friction sound due to his movements.

Just standing in front of these black knights, you can almost feel the weight of the concept of 'time'.

However, their armor and weapons, which are still in excellent condition due to their supernatural technology, can still give people the impression of being powerful and brave.

Very contrasting.

After a while, Lan En held up a small flag and took the experts with him to see several black knights stationed here before he was sure that there would be no fight due to accidental reasons.

The expert was also happy to save trouble. After saying hello to Lan En, he was ready to go about his own business. According to him, it is to find that good knife.

Lan En went straight into the Fire Sacrifice.

It is as dark as ever, and the initial fire will not use more power to take care of this place just because it has the name of 'Fire Transferring Sacrificial Site'.

This is a circular sacrificial site with a multi-layered structure, with the center being the lowest and the outer layers gradually rising.

After Lan En came in, the first thing he saw was the five Desire Thrones opposite.

These thrones are now like seats roughly made of ordinary stones, inconspicuous.

There were only three people in this lightless sacrificial site. Only a small pile of candles beside each person, burning and shedding wax tears, provides some light.

One is a disabled old woman sitting on a chair against the wall. One is an old blacksmith who is banging the anvil in the corridor.

There was also a woman who had been standing motionless by the extinguished brazier in the middle of the circular sacrificial field for an unknown amount of time.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that besides us poor people bound here by the transmission of fire, there would be people visiting at this time?"

Lan En's footsteps were abrupt and obvious in this sacrificial site with only three people.

The old woman huddled in the chair bent her back and said with a trembling smile.

Her voice was low and husky, which sounded uneasy.

Compared with a kind-hearted old woman, this voice is more like an old witch with ulterior motives in fairy tales.

And obviously, the person in charge here should be the woman standing in the center of the sacrificial field.

She's a fire girl.

The reason why Lan En made this judgment was because her clothes were exactly the same as those of [Crystal Daughter] Clynxide.

As for Clinhilde's identity, she was the fire-proof girl of Prince Lothrik.

She is tall and has a delicate face, but the upper half of her face is covered with a delicate silver mask, making it difficult to see her whole face.

Lan En knew that the mask was not a decoration, but a real eyepatch.

Whether it is the White Sect or other sects, most of them respect blind women as saints, believing that "without vision in a universal sense, they can better understand the preciousness of flames."

Even the classics of the respective sects are described in the Braille Bible.

For a theoretically noble saint like the Fireproof Girl, giving up her eyes is just the most basic standard.

So in order to take care of the fire prevention girl, Lan En deliberately increased the sound of his footsteps.

Sure enough, after hearing the footsteps, the fire prevention girl turned around gracefully.

The black gold-rimmed priesthood dress floated like waves at the height of her ankles.

She bowed slightly in the direction of Lan En: "Welcome to the Fire Sacrifice. I am the fire prevention girl here. Who are you...?"
