Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1327 1299. Clergy Beast

The steps in front of the Cathedral of Church Town were already built very grandly during this period.

And scattered clergy stood near the gate outside the church.

They were obviously ordered to guard the gate here and prevent the things inside from coming out. At the same time, they could not let anyone, including themselves, see what happened inside.

That was the deepest and most untouchable secret of the Healing Church.

All insiders would be cleared out as Archbishop Lawrence ordered with his last human roar.

But these clergymen who were just used to guard the gate, how could they stop Lan En?

"Bang bang!"

At the end of the steps extending upwards, the luxurious and heavy door of the cathedral was still shaking, making a collision sound from the inside out.

And on the steps, there was a "hiss" sound.

Lan En’s hand loosened, and the dragon scales on the gauntlet of the hand that was originally holding the shoulder of a clergyman made a slight sound because of the change in the angle of the hand.

The blade of Arondite, as clear as silver lake water, was smoothly pulled out from the opponent’s chest.

The blood spurted out, and even the armor was not stained by the excellent skills of the sword holder.

The clergyman who was released and put down, his body was limp like mud and rolled down the steps.

There was no one blocking the way in front of Lan En, and he immediately went up and pushed open the door of the cathedral.

It was no different from the ‘future’ Yharnam.

After the door was opened inside the cathedral, there was still a staircase going up.

There were creepy statues on both sides of the stairs.

Like a head that was hollowed out and carved into a walnut, a golden spear was stuck in the skinny and numerous arms, pointing diagonally upwards.

It was weird and chilling.

But on the stairs, there was an incomparable explosion!

"Ahhh!!!"

The tyrannical beast roared, and the sound sounded familiar to the demon hunter who had just entered.

Lan En stood at the bottom of the stairs just after entering the gate, and could not see clearly what was happening above or what the scene was.

But he only saw that as the chaotic roar of the beast echoed endlessly in the echo structure of the cathedral, the firelight reflected on the ceiling of the church and scattered out became hotter and hotter!

"Bang!"

This time it was a dull sound of impact.

A black shadow flew directly from the stairs and hit the door that Lan En had just opened.

It was very unfortunate that the place where the black shadow hit was supposed to have a relief, but it was at least a flat facade, but after Lan En opened the door.

"Crack!"

The black shadow hit the corner of the opened door directly, and his head was shattered all over the floor.

Finally, like a broken water bag, it fell at Lan En's feet with a sound of full juice.

This was an old hunter, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with soft edges and hair.

Not only was his head smashed, but his body was also charred.

The smell of blood, the smell of roasted protein, the strange smell of wood, leather, and even stone cracked by high temperature, all began to rush into the demon hunter's nose.

The roar of wild beasts, the excited roar of hunters, and the sound of metal and flesh tearing each other were endless.

But in this chaos, Lan En seemed to have been mentally prepared.

He had a calm expression and quickly climbed the stairs, taking in the entire cathedral above the stairs.

And the most conspicuous thing in sight was undoubtedly a beast.

A burning beast!

"Woooo!!!"

It was just like the clergy beast that Lan En had hunted with Henryk in the "future" of Yharnam.

The huge body had dried up to the point of exposing the bones, and the hair was so lush that it was scary.

The wolf's head had strong and ferocious antlers, one hand was shriveled, and the other hand was deformed and strong.

The only difference between this beast in the cathedral and the clergy beast Lan En had seen before was that it was burning!

It was not the kind of burning that was caused by the hunters' hobby of using fire and being hurt by it.

It was like hot lava flowing inside its chest, bones, and hair!

Glowing, burning, and on fire!

If the common sense of the Yharnam people is: to deal with beasts, you have to use fire.

Then Lan En felt that this common sense would probably be useless on this beast.

How many fires can be as hot as its current body temperature?

And the clergy beast that could appear in the cathedral and let the Healing Church block the entire cathedral.

In Lan En's speculation, there was only Lawrence!

"Roar!"

Lawrence roared, and his strong arms slapped the ground randomly, and after falling down suddenly, an explosive wave of fire spread out.

It brought a burst of "hissing" sounds of protein being rapidly scorched and human fat boiling!

But no one screamed here.

In other words, nothing made a ‘human scream’.

“Ahhh!” He screamed in a confused and meaningless way.

The crazy hunter’s facial hair became lush, although more than half of his body was burned by the flames.

But he was still unaware or indifferent, and the steel sledgehammer in his hand immediately hit Lawrence’s palm on the ground!

“Bang!” There was a loud bang!

The hammer with a mechanical structure on the hammer head was an explosive hammer!

The deformed mechanism weapon produced by the Yanan Hunter Workshop made a spiderweb-like dent on the marble floor of the church through Lawrence's claws!

This style of grafting the violence of gunpowder weapons onto deformed weapons is a unique combat weapon style created by a group of hunters in Yanan known as the "Gunpowder Keg Gang".

But this hunter who was obviously abnormal, after he hit Lawrence's claws with a crack of bones, he suddenly knelt down with a 'pop'!

It was a hunter holding an extendable hunting ax similar to Gascoigne's.

He raised his ax high from behind, with a cheerful and distorted smile on his face. As soon as the hunter from the Powder Keg Gang hit the hammer, he immediately slashed it in the back!

The hunter of the Powder Keg Gang has gone crazy, and the spine of his back is exposed from the blurred flesh and blood!

His whole body immediately knelt forward uncontrollably.

The guy holding the hunter's ax immediately came closer and opened his palm like a claw!

"Pfft!"

A huge burst of blood! As the ax hunter thrust his hand from the back into the gunpowder keg hunter's waist, it exploded!

The hunter's special gloves stirred the internal organs and blood vessels in the body, followed by wild and cruel pulling!

Under the special technique, the degree of blood bursting was greatly enhanced, almost comparable to the blood rain brought out from the enemy's body by Lan En using the airflow blade!

The hunter's long and blood-red tongue licked the blood splattered on the side of his face and the corner of his mouth.

Under the brim of the hat, there was only an addictive light in his eyes!

Lan En once had an encounter with two high-level vampires and a group of blood-sucking creatures in the magical medieval world while searching for the master-level equipment blueprints of his Bear School.

But to be honest, even those brainless blood-sucking creatures who are addicted only to blood are far less crazy and morbidly thirsty for blood than these Yharnam hunters!

This doesn’t even mean that hunters are ‘blood-sucking creatures’. They are thirsty for blood. Even if it has nothing to do with physical needs, they will continue to pursue the smell of blood because of psychological needs.

This is simply a ‘bloodthirsty monster’!

There are a lot of old hunters in the cathedral now, but Lawrence went crazy here for a while and was not captured, because these hunters themselves have been lost in the sweet taste of the blood of the Son of God!

They don't want to think about anything else right now, they just...just want to bleed!

Own or others, as long as there is this sweet smell of blood!

But Lan En only finds the smell of blood disgusting!

"[Alder]!"

"Bang!"

The Witcher, who had just walked up the steps of the cathedral, pressed his left hand on the ground with his handprint!

Suddenly, a circular shock wave composed of chaotic magic, accompanied by the sound of air surging, suddenly spread from the point where the handprint landed!

Burning ashes on the ground, broken stones, and fragments of prayer benches scattered on the ground.

The advanced form of the seal obtained from the knowledge of the Wolf School was instantly dashed away!

In the chaos, the advanced form of [Alder's Seal] can not only impact in a single direction, but also appear in a circular shape like an explosive air wave.

The knowledge of the seals retained by the Wolf School, as well as Lan En's own chaos magic reserve far exceeds that of a normal demon hunter.

[Smaug] On the armor, Berengar worked hard to improve it, using master-level blacksmith techniques to add several layers of increased seal strength.

At this moment, even the old hunters who had already entered the state of lycanthropy were unable to stand under the impact and fell into a rolling gourd on the marble floor!

The flames that originally spread on the ground were also extinguished due to the short-term lack of air caused by [Alder's Seal].

The sound of metal rubbing against the mouth of the alchemy leather bag came gently from Lan En's waist.

The [Holy Moonlight Sword] wrapped in cloth appeared in Lan En's hand in its normal form.

And he held the hilt of the sword upside down, pointed it at the head of an old hunter lying on the ground at his feet, and stabbed it right through!

Yharnam hunters obviously have no way of dealing with enemies while lying down.

The hard sword blade that was not wrapped in cloth passed through the wide-brimmed hat and head, and the old hunter's body immediately stopped moving like a rag doll.

After all, not just any hunter can have the quality of Ludwig's blood, receive such high-quality and high-frequency [blood therapy], and bear the curse of the blow that killed the Son of God.

Even if his head is cut off, he doesn't know if he will die.

But because he was cautious about [Blood Therapy], when Lan En pulled out the [Holy Moonlight Sword] from the opponent's head, he took advantage of the situation and flicked the sword.

"Stab" sound.

The sword blade that had just been pulled out of his head slashed across the old hunter's neck and chopped off his head.
