Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 913 895. Black Mud Snake

The sound of the knights drawing their swords in unison sounded solemn and decisive.

And this commotion undoubtedly attracted the attention of Lorenzo and Emma, ​​the officiants who were discussing with each other.

The two of them turned their heads and looked in the direction where the Lothric knights were on guard.

That was the body of the former knight leader that they had just laid out with solemn etiquette!

At this time, the corpse that had fallen into the silence of death suddenly seemed to have some kind of violent activity in its body.

The already dead body was shaking and twitching due to the jolts of something inside.

Even his armor once again made the "clang, clang, clang" sound when moving.

Something is obviously wrong with this situation.

Lorenzo immediately pushed towards the forefront of the knights' alert.

He is the leader of the knights who was appointed before the battle, and must take the lead at this time. And he originally had this character, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use a knight's sword, a weapon that is good at violent attack but not good at defense.

"Be on guard! Form a formation!"

He shouted loudly as he pushed forward, and the members of the Lothric Knights responded in a short time with excellent average quality.

They didn't know what happened to the body of the former Knight Commander, but at this terrible time, at this terrible juncture, they had to prepare for the worst.

Lorenzo stood in front of his old boss who had just said his final farewell in person, and he picked up his Lothric knight's sword.

The two-meter-long sword cautiously probed the corpse that was kneeling down holding his head.

The corpse's abnormal twitching continued, but behind the knights' formation, Lan squinted his eyes and pretended to be listening.

Then, the demon hunter's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened.

Because of his extraordinary sensory abilities, he received information from a large area near his location.

He heard a sound like a water bag being torn, and a roar that was irrational and not even human!

"Back off, Loren."

There was no time to even finish shouting the name. It took time for the sound to reach Lan En's ears through the air, and this time was enough for an emergency to occur.

After the tip of Lorenzo's great sword finally cautiously touched the twitching and shaking corpse of the former knight leader, the movement of the corpse suddenly stopped.

But that's not the tranquility after the change subsides. It's the accumulation of energy before something explodes after being frightened!

"Stab it!"

It was just like the distant sound that Lan En heard from his ears.

When the corpse was touched by the tip of Lorenzo's sword, the 'things' inside the corpse suddenly began to pop out!

The upper body of the former Knight Commander's corpse was like a juicy water bag, torn and torn from the inside out!

Even the solid armor could not withstand the tearing from the inside out.

During this process, human blood began to splash out wildly and turbulently, just like throwing paint around!

"Hiss!"

Then, a roar that didn't sound like a human began to come from the mouth of the 'thing' that broke out of the body.

It was a mass of flowing, shaped black mud.

Thick and deep, it aggregated into a tangled snake on the body of the former knight leader.

But the size and quality completely defied common sense.

The thing that came out of the body of the former Knight Commander was larger and heavier than that body!

The thickness of the black mud snake is much thicker than the waist of an ordinary person, and its largest head is as big as a person with its mouth.

There was also a deformed claw that protruded from the black mud snake and drooped on the side. The size is also able to be easily held by one person.

At the position of the snake head's eyes, two groups of frightening red lights were on for a long time. With slight movement, the alluring red light could even leave traces of light in mid-air.

The huge black mud snake coiled around the upper body of the person, leaving only two relatively disproportionate legs, which were used as a moving tool for the snake to move staggeringly.

This thing is quite powerful.

Just the moment he broke out of his body, the tail made of black mud swung in front of him.

Then Lorenzo, who was within the attack range, was directly knocked away!

Even though the new knight leader had relied on his superb on-the-spot reaction, he immediately blocked the broad blade of the sword in front of him.

However, the monster's tail flick was still accompanied by a huge steel roar, and it was whipped directly to the formation of Lothric knights behind him.

With a 'thud' sound, the experienced knights who raised their shields had no intention of making way for their commander.

Instead, the officer was allowed to hit the shield wall.

And Lorenzo was not pretentious. His helmet had been knocked off just now, and now he tilted his head and spat blood on the ground, then stood up again with his sword in hand.

"What the hell is this?!"

The Knights of Lothric have defeated all enemies in the world, and they are never afraid of fighting.

But fighting a strange thing that I have never seen before still makes people feel uncertain.

Priest Emma, ​​who was standing with Lan En, had never seen anything like this. Her lips were murmuring, but she had no information to tell.

"Is it an abyss?"

On the contrary, Lan En was the first to put forward a point of view.

"Those red eyes are so distinctive."

"Maybe it's an abyss, but in this form."

Emma, ​​the officiant, whispered unconfidently.

Obviously, even the Holy Order, which has been fighting against the Abyss for a long time, has never seen such a thing.

This kind of thing is quite difficult to deal with. In the short period of time since its appearance, it seems to be obsessed with destruction and killing, approaching the knights with its staggering legs.

Immediately afterwards, it showed no pain, like a mad dog's attack rhythm.

The knights' swords and spears seemed to have little effect on it.

The weapon can hurt those black mud-like things, but it can't make its squirming body hesitate.

Under the twisted and sticky shape of the huge snake head, tail, and deformed claws, the knights had no way of knowing the attack movements of this thing.

The shield could only protect in one direction, and when the attack action could not be clearly distinguished, many knights just raised their shields, trying to bite the monster's head.

But the next moment, the tail hanging on the ground was rounded, pulled from the other direction, and flattened the knight's helmet.

From the viewing slits of the helmet, thick plasma and brain matter dripped out.

The stone bricks of Lothric's high walls were as fragile as tofu under this monster's attack.

The deformed claws pulled slightly, and the bricks that were originally laid were broken into pieces and turned into rubble.

Lan En kicked a Lothrik knight away from him with a 'dong' kick.

The next moment, the monster's deformed claws directly hit the position where the knight was preparing to attack.

The claw didn't hit the dead person, but then grabbed it sideways. Lan En, who was next to him, had already kicked the knight away and quickly dodge away from his original position under the influence of [Acceleration Technique].

The claws were empty.

"Hiss!!!"

The monster roared and continued to fight crazily.

This guy is so difficult to deal with.

Lan En muttered silently in his heart.

The powerful force seems to have no pain at all, and it is unable to suppress the offensive. The attack rhythm itself is chaotic and violent, even more mad than a mad dog.

Even though the two human legs it uses to move are faltering, once there is a target within the attack range, the snake's own telescopic force will not slow it down at all.

And the whole body is like flowing black mud and asphalt.

This physical feature further aggravates people's visual misjudgment.

Human eyes cannot judge the distance between the monster's body parts, and even though they have been entangled for a long time, these battle-experienced Lothric knights and Lan still cannot figure out the monster's attack rhythm. .

After all, when this monster moves, people can't see clearly which parts of it are moving! Because it is all a mass of flowing black.

If Lan En uses [Spirit Vision], then he is confident that this mad dog-like thing will see through those simple actions immediately.

But there is darkness lurking in Lan En's body right now because he peeked into Eldridge's inner being. The thing in front of him is clearly a product of the [Abyss].

He can no longer take the risk of turning on [Spirit Vision] to see it.

Priest Emma tried to use some [miracles] to envelope this monster, hoping to use divine power to dispel it.

Lan En also tried to use the Lake Lady's Sword with the 'Holy Lake Light' to attack the black mud.

But it was completely useless, it had no special effect on this monster.

Because the [Abyss] does not represent evil, it is just the world built on fire, the other side of the two sides of one body.

Intelligent beings cannot define that side as 'evil' just because they are unable to survive on the other side of the world.

The situation was completely deadlocked.

Even the knights don't know how many times this thing will be attacked before it dies.

Because there were no wounds visible at all on the flowing black mud.

What they call 'being able to hurt each other' is just a feeling from the touch.

"Prepare to retreat!"

Lorenzo finally made a decision after being almost bitten off half of his body again.

He roared, preparing to strangle the monster with the life of a Lothric knight while the others retreated. Create distance.

They don't know how to deal with this unseen monster, and too much time and energy have been wasted.

As for the Lothric knight whose name was called by Lorenzo, he had no fluctuation in the scene that required his own sacrifice. He was just silent and prepared to step forward and perform his duties.

In this world, many people no longer put life first.

He even seemed a little indifferent to his own life.

Lan En frowned at this scene.

He hated it when this happened to him, but from a rational point of view.

Facing a powerful, troublesome monster with no clear response strategy, being able to evacuate so many people at the cost of one life can be said to be a 'success'.
