Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 28 28. Fire Tornado

The information captured in the corner of my eye came back.

Not only are there seven water ghosts and a swamp witch here, but Lan En's last investigation was actually limited by his field of vision, and he knew it was flawed.

But he didn't expect that there was a water ghost not far away.

Lan En's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"He showed up too early."

Yes, Bernie showed up early. Before Lan En could focus all threatening eyes on him, Bernie stood up from the bushes.

Maybe he was too nervous, maybe he was afraid that Lan En wouldn't be able to hold on. The reason didn't matter.

Anyway, the result is: a water ghost stalks Bernie.

In Lan En's several hunts, under his violent swordsmanship, these not-so-strong monsters would even turn into stumps.

Among the people, it is generally accepted that the water ghost is a monster that farmers can kill one-on-one with a dung fork.

It seems that this kind of monster has no threat at all.

But there is an inherent logic to this situation.

First: The attack range of the farmer holding a dung fork is much larger than that of the water ghost's claws.

Second: The claws of the water ghost cannot break the wooden pole of the dung fork with one blow, let alone destroy the metal prongs of the dung fork.

Third: Even if the piercing attack of the Dung Fork does not come with the evil-destroying effect of silver, it can still cause fatal damage to the organs of the water ghost.

The logic is clear and well organized.

This is the reason why the water ghost cannot defeat the dung fork farmer one on one.

Now, Bernie is a veteran hunter, and his combat experience is sky-high compared to ordinary farmers.

But in addition to the bow and arrow, he only had a hunting knife.

The monsters that the dung fork farmer can defeat are hard to say for today's experienced hunters.

There are no levels in the real world. As long as the conditions are right, a water ghost can also kill an old hunter alone.

"Quick victory."

Seeing the swamp witch pacing with her paws on her chest and smiling strangely, Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly.

If it drags on any longer, Bernie may be bitten by that water ghost!

"Mentos, I need you to build an air circulation model now."

"The air circulation model in task acceptance has been completed, and the real-time changes have been bound to the subject's position information."

After a pause of about one second, the intelligent voice marked Lan En's field of vision.

And as his footsteps moved, the markings also changed due to changes in terrain or humidity.

"Sir, according to the regulations, I must give you a reminder. If you fight according to the plan, there is an 87% chance that you will fall into a state of magic dryness that lasts for several minutes. Please make your decision carefully."

The witcher's seal only uses the magic power stored in the body, which is different from the large-scale mobilization of external chaotic magic power by the wizard.

But precisely because of the scarcity of magic power, the demon hunter's extremely fast physical recovery ability meant that even recovering from a depleted magic power state would only take a few minutes at most.

"Stick to the plan."

"clear."

There was no wavering in the young man's tone.

He lowered the silver sword that had just dismembered three water ghosts in his hand, arched his body, and walked along an arc.

Hostility and murderous intent tug at the nerves of the remaining monsters, forcing them to respond to the enemy's actions.

The response may be big or small, even just a few movements of the feet.

But for Lan En, it was enough.

The remaining four water ghosts and a swamp witch who picked up another stone from the ground stood vaguely on a straight path amid this invisible restraint.

At this point, Lan En's originally arched body slowly stood upright under the monster's gaze.

The abnormal behavior of humans only further aroused the monster's vigilance, and it kept roaring and making strange noises.

Until the young man put his silver sword, which was still stained with blood, back into the scabbard on his back leisurely.

"Whoa?"

The water ghosts were a little confused. Their fish-like brains couldn't understand why there were creatures that put away their claws during a fight.

But they don't stop hunting because of doubts.

More intense and unbridled hostility began to appear on the monsters.

Facing this scene, Lan En calmly raised his left hand in their direction.

A cold white magic light spread out.

"Alder."

Telekinesis shock wave.

"Bang——"

A moderate blast of air hit the monsters.

The monsters who instinctively took a defensive posture and protected their heads with their arms were even a little confused.

This power is so small? !

The dead fish eyes looked at each other.

Rather than saying this is a "telekinetic shock", it is better to say it is a fairly strong wind.

Compared with Lan En's violent and ferocious swordsmanship just now, it was even too weak to be worth mentioning.

The air flow brought up by the seal is still blowing.

wind?

"Whoa?"

The Swamp Witch sensed something was wrong.

When will there be wind in such a dense understory of woods? !

"The air circulation model has been constructed and is 68% complete, meeting usage standards."

Then, the swamp witch saw the human being not far away, and before she could put down her left hand, she raised her right hand.

It was the same dazzling gesture, but this time it lit up with a warm orange light.

Inexplicably, a sense of danger suddenly made him scream.

"Ooooooooooo!!!"

But what accompanied the scream was a gentle human voice.

"—Igni."

"boom!!!"

Hot fire burst out from the center of Lan En's handprint in an instant!

But the magic flame that was supposed to be sprayed forward was caught in the inexplicable wind half a meter away from the palm of the hand.

Only then, after being rendered by flames, did the invisible wind take a concrete form.

——That is a spiral winding airflow!

It's like a small tornado being laid down!

The air flow constantly envelops the surrounding air, bringing sufficient oxygen, and Igni's flames burn more and more fiercely with the supply of oxygen!

The fire tornado, which was more than two meters in diameter and extended to ten meters in length, enveloped all the water ghosts and swamp witches on a straight path.

The body fluids under the skin were boiling, and the monsters howled in a way that would make other monsters tremble in fear.

In a temperature-condensing environment like a small tornado, even the magical flames can easily reach thousands of degrees.

This group of water ghosts and swamp witches waited until the fire tornado collapsed a few seconds later, leaving only corpses with completely burned skin.

The puddles in the forest have also been evaporated, and white smoke is rising from the foul-smelling soil.

After Lan En drew the Igni Seal, he immediately propped up his legs and gasped for air.

The subsequent flames were purely the spontaneous combustion of the firespout.

Shooting two magic seals in a row is supposed to be the strength of the Griffon School. It is not easy for him to use it if he is from the Bear School.

The fire tornado in front of him had disintegrated, but the remaining warmth made his skin ache.

Lan En had been panting for several seconds, but he couldn't feel the abnormality in his body returning with his breathing.

Because what he lacks is not physical strength, but magic power. It's just that the lack of magical power is very similar to the lack of physical strength.

Dragging his exhausted body for a few more minutes, Lan En endured the discomfort and pulled out the silver sword behind him, throwing it in Bernie's direction.

When the water ghost was about to peel off his neck with its claws, it pierced the opponent's heart first.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

The suddenly paralyzed water ghost fell down with the silver sword, making a crisp "ding" sound.

Lan En's originally soothing brows immediately froze.

"Fuck, the sword I just repaired! It's because the blade hit the stone!"

Lan En walked to Bernie and pulled him up from the ground, frowning.

"Just now I put the bloody sword back into its sheath. This time I even have to change the scabbard."
