Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1363 1335. Dawn

Arondette's blade was inserted in the middle of Luna's weird face like a deformed mask.

That pure and gentle, even somewhat illusory, seemingly non-existent glimmer of light made a continuous burning sound in his body.

It was like "stabbing, stabbing," as if it wanted to completely roast the body of this superior person into charcoal before it would stop.

Lan En also really wanted to roast Him into charcoal.

The young demon hunter's body is still shining with the light red flame of fighting spirit emitted by [Power Liberation·Ultimate Intent].

[Smaug] The essence of the Mistbrood Lord Tyrannosaurus in the armor stimulated his body just like the monster's self-abuse appetite when it was still alive.

The muscles all over his body were so tense that they showed band-like bulges and lines under his skin.

In addition, a layer of golden chaos magic shield fit Lan En's body in a completely close-fitting basic form.

On the one hand, [Quen's Seal] can indeed be used as a layer of insurance against huge impacts.

On the other hand, with this layer of chaos magic shield, no matter whether it is dirt or blood drops and minced meat splashed from the ancient god's broken body, there is no chance to really touch Lan En's body.

Although the final confrontation was abrupt, it was the end of Lan En and Luna's efforts.

But the young demon hunter was still fully prepared before taking action.

It was not consistent with the objective topography of Yanan. A large sea of ​​flowers located on a certain solitary peak was more than half shattered by the last burst of the moon god.

Fortunately, in the end, Lan En's position was basically clearly on one side.

Whether it's inducement or a clear sign, as long as the Moon God still wants to take action in the end, he will definitely not be able to waste his energy on the area on the other side of the sea of ​​flowers.

This made the alchemy leather bag that Lan En had just thrown on the ground without the energy to take care of it, as well as the [Turbid Current·Destruction] with a sword hilt and a one-meter-long sword protruding from the mouth of the leather bag. They did not receive any impact and still stayed in place. land.

But it seems that it is also because the Moon God is dead, so the sea of ​​flowers in this dreamland is no longer the same as it was a few minutes ago, always inexplicably returning to its original appearance.

Lan En walked over and put the breastplate on the ground into the alchemical leather bag.

The alchemy leather bag was hung back on his waist, and he was holding the handle of the burning ferocious sword, dragging the blade on the ground, and walked towards the body of the Moon God.

With his current body, even if the [Strength Release·Ultimate Intention] on [Smaug]'s armor is turned on, he cannot lift the sword as easily as in the normal state.

Like steel cracking, the crack reveals the sword's inner hot magma. The sword blade dragged on the ground, burning a line on the sea of ​​flowers along with Lan En's footsteps.

Standing on the side of Luna's motionless body.

Lan En's chest heaved violently.

But he still gritted his teeth with a cold face, and the muscles and veins on his arms popped out! Raise [Turbid Current·Destruction] high above your head!

The dark sword body, the gleaming white blade, the ferocious cracks all over the sword, and the broken sea of ​​flowers, looked like a huge and broken tombstone under the bright moon again.

And then "Boom!!"

[Turbid Current·Destruction] The distinctive slashing sound, or impact sound, erupted straight away!

This time it was not Lan En who was hammering the surface of the sword, but the cold blade, which really cut into the neck of the Moon God's corpse from the side!

Thick blood plasma erupted from Luna's skeleton-like neck, but it did not touch Lan En's body at all.

The demon hunter staggered and took two steps back. The huge and heavy sword blade was stuck on the bone. The gray-white exterminator skin wrapped around the sword hilt was floating slightly in the air.

Floating together with the white petals stirred up by the wind pressure of the sword.

The flame burned quietly, spreading on the Moon God's body.

I don't know if there is any connection. After the body of the Moon God began to burn, the entire sea of ​​flowers, as well as the building outside the sea of ​​flowers that was the hunter's dream, suddenly began to emit nameless flames from unknown sources.

It wasn't until Luna's entire body was completely enveloped by [Remaining Fire] that Lan En put away his sword.

He walked with heavy steps to the unconscious Maria, his weak legs suddenly softened, and he knelt down. The effect of [Power Liberation·Ultimate Intention] has passed.

An even stronger feeling of fatigue was invading from deep within Lan En's muscles.

After adjusting his breathing and regaining his strength, Lan En's broad arms held the Yharnam huntress in his arms and stood up.

Maria, who was curled up due to coma, now looked weak and petite in front of Lan En's broad chest.

The battle just now did not affect this place.

Germann's wheelchair was even sitting quietly not far away.

There was another gentle sound of footsteps approaching, stepping on the flowers that were not yet burning.

Lan En did not look back because he knew who the owner of the footsteps was.

A doll based on Maria, in the sea of ​​burning flowers, she still looks like she is walking in an ordinary yard.

Two hands with ball-jointed joints were folded on the lower abdomen. He walked calmly behind Lan En and pushed the wheelchair left by Geman with a squeaking sound.

It seemed that she wanted to push the wheelchair from the sea of ​​flowers to the small courtyard where the hunter's workshop was located.

The wheelchair and footsteps trampled the flowers, and the footsteps were so gentle that it seemed that the burning sea of ​​flowers and buildings could not be seen, but it was more like a normal walk.

"Aren't you going to run away?" Lan En hugged Maria and turned his head slightly to ask. "I'm afraid this flame will burn out everything. Even dreams."

The puppet that stopped, its inorganic face and eyes turned to the young demon hunter.

"I'm just a doll." She said calmly, looking down at the empty wheelchair. "The doll in the dream. This dream is where I live. From beginning to end." "I'm sorry, but I have to do this." Lan En whispered.

Just like his words, his tone was apologetic, but more determined.

"Are you apologizing to me?" The doll Maria tilted her head, her carved face still expressionless, "This is the first time a hunter has apologized to me."

As he said that, the doll suddenly looked at Maria, who was unconscious in Lan En's arms.

"She is my prototype." The doll said calmly, "But I have no impression of her."

"Have you two met?"

Lan asked, remembering what Maria said to Gehrman before joining the battle.

There is no doubt that when Maria crossed the space gap left by herself, she saw a doll based on herself.

"She didn't say anything, but..." the doll said with lowered eyes, "The way she looked at me seemed a little pitiful."

"." Lan En opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh and say, "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize to me."

The doll raised her face slightly, and from her angle, she could just see the burning chapel spire in the hunter's workshop yard.

"That's good, good enough. I think I can have a long, long sleep."

The rolling sound of the wheelchair and the sound of gentle footsteps stepping on the flowers sounded again.

The puppet's voice was as light as a dream.

"It's time to wake up, good hunter."

"May you find your own value in the waking world."

—

In the deep and dark alley, a blue dagger blade suddenly poked out of the air, as if it had penetrated from the other side of the world to this side.

The blade was pulled down to create an opening in the space that was large enough for a human body to pass through.

Immediately afterwards, a tall young man holding a female hunter staggered out from the incision.

With a "bang" sound, Lan En, who raised his leg, lost his strength, or in other words, he no longer had the strength to control his inertia.

After he walked out, he staggered a few steps until his shoulder hit the wall of the alley with a muffled sound, and then he stopped and stood firm.

Although the huntress in her arms was not hit, she still frowned due to the impact, her eyelids trembled, and she seemed to be about to wake up.

The eyelids that were closed tightly as if in a nightmare first trembled, and then suddenly opened, revealing the blood-red pupils inside.

With a 'crash', the skilled huntress immediately jumped down, her gorgeous one-shoulder cloak shaking.

The "click" sound was accompanied by sparks exploding as the transforming weapon activated the mechanism.

The [Falling Leaf] sword that rejoined struck straight towards Lan En's neck.

But at the last moment, the knife wielder's arm suddenly retracted, causing the dull blade to slash from Lan En's neck to the wall of the alley.

"Is it you? What am I? Are you again?"

Maria's confused but forcibly calm voice sounded tentatively.

Although the alley is dark and dark, the hunters of Yanan have long been accustomed to fighting in this kind of place.

Maria seemed to have just woken up. She touched her neck where Lan En had hit her, and saw the Witcher who had no breastplate on his upper body and was completely weak.

Turning around and looking around, there was no doll that looked exactly like him, no hunter's workshop chapel, and no quiet sea of ​​white flowers. It seemed that the previous fight to the death with the teacher he no longer recognized was just a dream.

No.

Thinking of this, Maria's three-cornered hat swayed from side to side.

Germann finally told her to ‘run quickly’. What did that mean?

Thinking of this, the memory of being knocked unconscious later was easily sorted out by Maria.

Maria could easily imagine that the only person who could knock her unconscious from behind at that time was Lan En.

She wasn't as angry or as hard to accept as an ordinary person would be after being knocked unconscious and finding the person who did it.

In Yanan, some things are better not to be looked at.

Although she had trusted her teacher and the Healing Church before, she had experienced so much after her trust was broken, and she was familiar with this situation.

So for Lan En, she is at best waiting for a simple, even vague explanation.

But unfortunately, before she even had time to say this explanation, Maria saw Lan En slide weakly from the wall and sit on the ground.

She stepped forward to ask in detail, but Lan En just lowered his head and smiled as if he was almost comatose and unconscious.

Maria was helpless.

She could only hope that in this place, she could find similarities in her 'distant' memories, and then go to Orton Chapel to call for help.

However, just as the blood noble took the first step out from the entrance of the dark and dark alley, she suddenly froze.

Because, a ray of cold but real dawn sunlight was casting a shadow from the brim of her tricorn hat!
