Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1316 1288. Heavy Armor

"Bang!"

Ludwig's church workshop-made gun exploded again!

Using guns to consume the opponent after pulling away is a safe combat habit.

In order to highlight the advantage of this habit, Ludwig's guns have been specially strengthened in range and power.

And with Ludwig's proficiency in [Acceleration], he is basically always in an advantageous position in distance control.

When Lann rushes forward, he can use [Acceleration] to retreat synchronously.

Although retreating is slower than advancing, he can shoot to delay the approach of the demon hunter on the opposite side.

If you want to dodge bullets, you have to do one more lateral displacement. This wasted step is the basis for Ludwig to maintain the distance advantage.

Even if this body is not controlled by the brain now, the old hunter can replicate his previous tactical actions based on his physical experience.

In the past, this tactic should have helped him complete many hunts easily.

Faced with this tactic, either they had to ignore the mercury bullets and charge forward. Or they could also use long-range attacks to fight each other.

But those beasts that charged forward had never defeated Ludwig.

Even if the enemy was also a hunter, there should be few people in the whole of Yharnam who dared to fight Ludwig.

Putting aside the advantages of the church workshop's special firearms, in the whole of Yharnam, are there a few hunters whose blood quality is higher than Ludwig's?

For hunters who use mercury bullets mixed with blood as their main killing, the quality of their blood determines the size of the damage.

With one shot from Ludwig, ordinary hunters would basically lose half of their lives even if they had a blood collection bottle.

When others shot at Ludwig, he might just shake his shoulder and feel a little pain.

But today, facing Lan En, this tactic is not as effective as before.

Ludwig's habitual tactics can always force his enemies into an uncomfortable situation.

However, when facing Lann, the demon hunter retreated after Ludwig used the [Acceleration] and fired the second shot, he immediately realized the opponent's tactical intention.

Then, the biological intelligence in his brain began to perform a quick calculation in an instant according to his wishes.

Finally, he came to an optimistic conclusion-

"The power of the shooting is being imported into the model, and the armor strength of [Smaug] and the [Quen Seal] are being imported into the model. Sir."

The voice of the biological intelligence was as capable and accurate as ever.

"The opponent's firearms, apart from the so-called "blood quality" on the mercury bullets, I don't think it can cause trouble to your heavy armor."

The calculation was completed in an instant, and Lann, who received an accurate report from Mentos, had also made a tactical decision based on the calculation results.

-Do you think I am one of those brainless and armorless beasts of Yharnam? !

"Bang Bang!"

The bullets hit the target who rushed straight ahead without dodging, but only a burst of explosions of metal bullets colliding with hard barriers was heard, and the advancing figure was not affected at all!

Lan's left hand blocked his face, with his palm holding the [Quen Seal] gesture, and sparks from the bullet being knocked away burst out from his arm armor.

The mercury bullet first broke the [Quen Seal], and then hit the dragon scale armor of [Smaug]. Only the bullet was deformed under the kinetic energy.

This kinetic energy was transmitted to the armor layer by layer, but because of the excellent shape design of [Smaug's] entire set of armor, and the strength of the material itself.

Even the mercury bullet that hit the side ribs from a tricky angle was bounced straight away in front of this heavy and brutal armor!

And those impact forces, after penetrating into the closely arranged armor plates, acted on Lan's body.

But ordinary people's bodies may also suffer internal organ damage due to the impact force.

Today, Lan has a layer of steel cables on the outer layer of his muscles, strengthening muscles and bones.

Layer by layer, energy absorption, layer by layer, weakening.

The impact of the bullet on his tense body was even worse than the impact of cutting nails.

‘Ding ding dang dang’!

But in front of Ludwig’s special gun, Lan En was like a giant bear running against the breeze!

Rush! No reaction!

Ludwig’s tactics hope to hinder the enemy with shooting, and then create margin for his distance control, and he can do it with ease.

But facing an opponent with heavy armor and amazing impact tolerance rushing straight at him, this method is completely useless if Lan En can’t worry about getting hurt!

In that round mouthpart, countless eyeballs are spinning in panic.

But they are not Ludwig himself after all. After a set of tactical habits on the body did not work, they have no idea what strategy to adopt.

The mouthpart squirmed and panted out, with a disgusting smell of internal organs.

Judging from the size and position of this mouthpart, it may indeed contain the chest organs of Ludwig’s body.

The wild and majestic body rushed straight to Ludwig!

This time, a silver light flashed from Lan's right hand!

"Swish!"

The blade of Arondette was extremely sharp!

From bottom to top, the upward slash first cut Ludwig's gun into two pieces of different sizes. The cut on the metal section was smooth and neat, and could reflect light and act as a mirror.

The gun was chopped into two pieces of different sizes, and the hand holding the gun was the same.

The elegant blade passed through Ludwig's body as if it was cutting through the air, and brought out a large amount of sticky and smelly blood.

From the upper arm near the armpit, the skinny and deformed gun-holding arm separated from the body along with the chopped-off gun barrel!

But after cutting off the enemy's hand neatly, Lan En did not immediately chase.

On the contrary, his legs were also entangled with spiral wind.

[Acceleration Technique]!

Flashed to the side for a not-so-far distance!

That is, less than two meters.

But immediately after Lan En's sideways flash, the circular mouthparts that grew on Ludwig's neck made a "gurgling" sound like nausea.

Then there was a "wow".

It was hard to tell whether it was black or thick green liquid, which spurted out from the mouthparts with eyeballs on the inner wall.

It happened to spit at the place where Lan En had just stood.

The blood pool was boiling, and even the rocks under the pool made a corroded "hissing" sound.

Amid the corrosion sound, a hazy but foul-smelling smoke rose.

Although Lan En was wearing heavy armor, this heavy armor was not yet resistant to poison.

Demon hunters were very resistant to poison, but that was in the normal world.

In Yharnam, Lan En didn't even dare to let [Turbid Stream·Destruction] come out to "eat" a few bites of food, let alone let his body try the poison here.

So he dodged very simply.

But after dodging sideways, Lan En didn't relax.

Because his left hand holding the gun was cut off, it made the opponent's tactical choice simpler.

Ludwig's right hand and the half-sword made an almost "whipping" upward sweep on his extremely uncoordinated arm, which was able to swing fully because of enough exhaustion!

Lan En looked up and calmly watched the end of the sword, which was almost leaving a white line in the air, pass by his chin.

Logically speaking, the gap after the enemy's sword swing is a good time to attack.

But Lan En still did not act rashly.

Because on the one hand, Ludwig, the [First Hunter of the Church], actually has an ordinary half-hand sword as his main weapon in his right hand, which is very strange.

On the other hand, the large metal scabbard on his back does not look like a "simple" scabbard at all.

Sure enough.

With a "click", the unique mechanical opening and closing sound of the Yharnam mechanical transformation weapon sounded.

With the calm and composed reaction of the demon hunter, Ludwig inserted the half-hand sword in his hand directly and accurately into the wide metal scabbard behind him!

And from this posture of collecting the sword behind the back, which is similar to that of the demon hunter, he directly connected the huge metal scabbard and stabbed it forward with one hand!

In this state, this is not an ordinary half-hand sword, but a giant sword similar to [Turbidity] before the materials of the Nergigante were added!

The wide metal scabbard is in the shape of a leek leaf, and the religious pattern of the Healing Church is engraved on the sword surface, which is similar to the pattern of the cloth strips hanging on the back of the clergy.

As a church weapon, it is similar to the mechanism of the [Church Stone Hammer]. The half-sword in Ludwig's hand actually served as the "handle".

Once the scabbard is retracted and inserted into the mechanism, the hilt of the half-sword directly becomes the hilt of this great sword!

Ludwig's body is in an extremely twisted posture, and he thrusts the giant sword on his back forward with one hand in a spin.

The degree of distortion of this posture is as if the body controlling the body is not used to human bodies, but is more used to the movements of fish and worms.

However, although the posture is not coordinated, it is also full of suddenness and unpredictability.

Even Lan En can only determine whether his action is a stab or a chop when he has already done half of the action.

However, this is the only trouble caused to Lan En.

The attack action that has been seen through is meaningless.

There was a sharp metal friction sound, and a "sizzle" sound was heard, with fierce sparks bursting out.

This movement did not come from the confrontation between the Sword of the Lady of the Lake and the giant sword in Ludwig's hand.

The sparks of metal friction burst out in Lan's elbow.

The demon hunter had a calm face, relying on his solid armor, and simply tilted his torso slightly to the side.

And let the space between the torso and the arm, so that the big sword could stab in directly!

Then the elbow, forearm, and torso cooperated and locked!

The metal big sword blade rubbed and bumped against the [Smaug] scales on the armor. But in the end, Lan was completely imprisoned and unable to move.

The skilled man was bold, and at the same time, he was filled with a sense of rightness to abuse the enemy in heavy armor.

"You really are..." Ignoring the elbow and armpit, the opponent desperately pulled the giant sword, and the friction and wrestling sound of metal and dragon scales was simply piercing.

Lan En tilted his head and said, "I've never fought an enemy wearing heavy armor."

"Swish!"
