Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 914 896. Plantization

But Lorenzo decided to sacrifice a knight to buy most of the people time to retreat.

But Lan En is not optimistic.

Because from the beginning, the first thing the demon hunter heard was the sounds coming from other areas above the high wall.

Those voices preceded the mutation of the former knight leader in front of him.

The same sound of flesh being torn apart, blood being splashed, followed by inhuman roars.

This is not an accident that only happened to the person in front of me. There are probably many such things in the entire high wall area.

Even if we retreat, won't we encounter the same things on the road?

So we must find a way to deal with this monster.

But where is the weakness?

How to deal with it?

The Lothric knights were retreating steadily, but Lan En was still staring at the black mud snake group not far away that was entangled with a knight.

Before the structural weaknesses in the gryphon wings were discovered by demon hunters and mages.

A griffin that soars in the sky and swoops down to prey from time to time is simply impossible to deal with.

Air combat is an area that humans cannot even imagine.

So an adult griffon could easily harass a hundred-man team in that era, putting them in a dilemma. The gryphon itself comes and goes as it pleases.

But after spending many lives, money, and research time.

People understood that the bone structure on the griffin's wings had weaknesses. As long as an arrow was nailed to the right position or other methods were used to cause damage, it would be difficult for this monster to fly again in a short period of time.

So the monster that was once able to contain an army of 100 people has now reached the current era. As long as they have experience, a ten-person team of ordinary people is enough to kill one.

Demon hunters' knowledge of monsters is something that has been summed up at the cost of many human lives and a lot of intelligence and academic reports.

In terms of skills in the profession of demon hunter alone, monster knowledge is far more important than most people think.

The difficulty of dealing with a monster whose weaknesses are clear is simply not on the same level as a monster that knows nothing about it.

You cannot use [Spirit Vision] to see through this unseen monster from a deeper perspective.

But Lan En doesn't think he has any countermeasures.

It's ugly to face a mindless beast and not be able to see through him.

His eyes kept moving on the monster, and Mentos also provided more detailed calculation support for analysis.

Finally, when the Lothric knight who was ready to sacrifice was bitten horizontally by the snake's head and knocked his shield away, Lan En's eyes suddenly lit up!

On the high wall of Lothric, there are soldiers patrolling from time to time, and the sky has been under the darkness of the "Bloody Eclipse" recently.

Therefore, small glass lanterns and lanterns are placed at the base and corners of the walls. It is convenient for patrol soldiers to carry, and the white candle burns quietly in the lantern.

In the previous fierce entanglement, these small lanterns had long been broken.

All that was left was a pool of wax tears mixed with debris.

But in the moment just now, Lan En glanced at the scene.

He first instinctively realized something was wrong, and then Mentos immediately locked onto the image he had just scanned.

It was a small flame burning quietly in a pool of wax tears.

It was not much bigger than a mung bean, and it was swaying as if it was on the verge of extinction.

But when the tail of the black mud snake just slightly swept across the small flame, it suddenly retracted a little as if it was cramping!

The amplitude of the twitching was very small, and it was even more difficult to distinguish under the color of the other party's body, which looked like flowing black mud.

But with the computing power of Mentos to capture the scene, calculate the angle of light and shadow, and determine the relationship between distance and distance, its tail has indeed retracted!

"It should be afraid of fire, sir."

Mentos made the inference calmly, and Lan agreed with it.

So just when the group of black mud snakes knocked open the shield of the Lothric knight behind him, and prepared to bite half of his body in one bite.

"呲~"

A beam of orange Mars heat suddenly rushed from the side to the huge body of the black mud snake group!

"Hiss!!!"

The inhuman roar sounded again, but this time, the emotion contained in it was not 'destructive desire, violence' but 'pain'!

Lan En held the seal in his left hand, and continuous sparks and heat flow erupted from the seal. That was the variation of [Igni Seal] he learned from the knowledge of the Wolf School.

It can continuously eject scorching magic fire, and it can continue until the chaos magic in the demon hunter's body is exhausted, or it can stop actively.

The monster's roar, which was different from the previous ones, immediately caught Lorenzo's attention.

The newly appointed knight commander immediately discovered that under the flames, this difficult monster seemed to be very flammable.

Obviously the flame only hit one side of it, but in the blink of an eye, the entire monster was on fire.

Moreover, the terrifying and powerful black mud body was twisted, as if it had endured too much pain in the flames, resulting in uncontrollable twitching and twisting.

The twisting of the black mud snake also threw the flames on its body to other surrounding places. Many small flames immediately broke out around him.

Lorenzo made a quick decision.

He immediately rushed forward with a big sword on his shoulder.

The black mud snake twitched in the flames, causing it to be completely unable to attack. With this window period, Lan En, Lorenzo, and the Lothrik knight who was chosen as the backing, immediately took action together!

Two of them had white afterimages on their bodies, and the violent movements caused explosions in the surrounding air. They were combat techniques that used soul power.

Lan En, on the other hand, used his swordsmanship skills. With a flick of his left hand, he wrapped the flame around the knife, and then charged forward and slashed!

[Wuxin flow·Flowing fire blade]!

Three attacks without any scruples and with full strength fell on the monster writhing and wailing in the flames in an instant.

The sound of "La La La" sounded from the black mud, asphalt-like body, which was the sound of weapons cutting in.

"Hiss!"

In the end, it was like the death of a real snake.

The black mud snake group suddenly made a tense movement, and let out the most miserable roar so far.

The black mud that flows continuously all over the body slows down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the flow of black mud slowed down, the entire black body was like cement drying quickly, turning into a stiff, gray-white stone texture.

The weapon that was cut into it was a little difficult to pull out for a while.

Fortunately, this monster that suddenly appeared was finally solved.

Lorenzo kicked on the dead and petrified monster and pulled out his sword.

"Is this thing afraid of fire? Okay, just know its weakness."

He looked obviously relieved.

"Yeah, if you hadn't seen that it's afraid of fire, then this thing would be really difficult to deal with."

Lan En also shook his head and sighed, and smoothly drew out the Lake Lady's Sword without hesitation, and also helped the Lothric knight beside him draw out the spear he had just thrust into it.

"A coup, a monster I've never seen before, I won't be surprised at what Lothric City has become now."

Lorenzo smiled in amusement.

"I didn't expect you to be a conjurer? But it doesn't matter. At this time, it doesn't matter even if you are a conjurer. You don't need to hide your identity."

Lan En nodded indifferently on the surface. In fact, he didn't know whether the 'spell master' was a good word or a bad word in this world.

It sounds like spellcasters like ‘spellcasters’ are not very popular in normal times?

But when the flame is about to extinguish, even the rules that stabilize the world are collapsing, not to mention the prejudices of human society?

"I have to make it clear to you first." Lan En grabbed Lorenzo's arm and said to him seriously. "I actually heard a lot of these monsters roaring just now. Do you understand what I mean?"

After the prince's coup was launched, this kind of monster that no one had ever seen suddenly appeared in the city of Lothric. The fool should know that this was not a coincidence.

Lorenzo's expression changed first, and one and a half of his eyebrows knitted together.

But then he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"The royal family has fallen so far. Fortunately, the power involved in the [Abyss] has been found. We have found the weakness of this thing."

It is true that this kind of monster that has never been seen before is difficult to deal with. More than a dozen of them, the Lothrik knights, were helpless in the face of it.

But after being exposed to fire, this thing will struggle regardless of the flames for a few seconds.

If the attack waves are distributed properly, throw a lit rocket or torch at it so that it doesn't care about attack and defense, and then several knights will attack with all their strength without any scruples.

A few seconds are enough to kill it.

This is the importance of intelligence. The dozen Lothric knights just now could only think of retreating. Now he is ready to kill this monster in a few seconds.

The knights are all fully equipped. In addition to their respective melee weapons, they are also equipped with knight crossbows and crossbow arrows.

Moreover, some armaments are also stored in various towers on the high walls of Lothrik.

There is something called a 'flame pot' inside, and when thrown out, it becomes an incendiary bomb.

"Go to my church first." Priest Emma said at this time.

"The church is one of the passages that connects the inner city to the high wall, and there are also my priests there."

"No matter what, it's definitely right to go there first."

Emma's idea was approved by Lorenzo, and the opinion of the knight leader was the opinion of the knights.

So a group of people became vigilant and prepared to go to the high-walled church managed by the presiding priest.

Only after a group of people left the area raided by the sages did they truly see what Lothrik had become now.

The power to lift up the city makes it so that even when you look down from the high walls, you can only see a sea of ​​clouds.

Many unstable buildings collapsed and were damaged in the process.

And that's not the worst.

The worst thing is the people in this city.

It seems that with the outbreak of the coup, these people who were somewhat normal and sensible all went crazy.

They ignored the collapse of buildings and the distant cries of death.

It's like being immersed in prayer, kneeling on the roadside, folding your hands toward the sky or bending down to worship.

However, Lan En even thought that he had made a mistake about them and confirmed it several times.

Roots began to grow on these people's bodies.

Similar to plant roots.

And on those roots, there was a thick black liquid dripping vaguely.

There's something wrong with these falling particles, which look like flaky ash.

Lan En guessed so.

Because a coup obviously shouldn't affect the physical state of the residents.

Instead, it was the same flaky ash falling objects that no one had seen before that they saw on the road before the coup.

No one has seen it, it suddenly appeared, and after the appearance, the situation of the residents became like this

When these circumstances are combined, the problems and suspicions are too great.

Moreover, the roots on the residents and the black droplets falling down looked very similar to the dirt on the wounds of the former Knight Commander.
