Chapter 928 910. Captive Hero
The toughness of the soul body is obviously inferior to that of the physical body.
After Lan En did what he did to Clinhide with the dagger, the blood-red soul body collapsed on the ground, and then turned into a field of dissipated light particles.
Only the blocking dagger was left in Lan En's hand.
The soul of a person can leave behind items after death, which surprised Lan En again.
However, considering that these weapons are engraved with [combat skills] and are items that have been carved by soul power, this phenomenon is not unacceptable.
Lan En waved the blocking dagger on his hand slightly.
I found that as long as I concentrated enough to release the seal, I could actually use the [Combat Skill] engraved on the weapon.
And after using it, it feels more strenuous than releasing the seal.
It seems that although he does not have a 'soul' that fits the concept of this world, if he just uses the weapons here, he will actually consume energy, physical strength and other fairly conventional things.
Lan En put the parrying dagger in his hand and unconsciously turned it around, creating a burst of brilliant sword light.
With his swordsmanship talent and accumulation, if he can use a weapon to use a certain technique, then it basically means that he himself will definitely master this technique.
[Block], this technique is quite interesting in his eyes.
After killing the malicious soul of [Crystalline Daughter] Clinehid, Lan En was able to move on and go to the Fire Sacrifice.
As the witcher integrated clues and knowledge, he basically figured out the general reason for the change in Lothric's fire-passing ceremony.
Although it still seems to be of no help to this declining world, he is at least less confused.
Know who to target in this apocalypse of fire.
After walking a short distance on the hillside next to the cliff, a roofless circular ceremony venue was already in sight.
The main body of the ring-shaped ceremony venue is made of marble, and a few scattered small piles of candles are lit in the ring.
In this increasingly dark environment, it appears ethereal, sacred, but insignificant.
There were corpses of wandering souls lying on the road along the way, until Lan En approached the arched door of the ceremony venue.
The person who created these corpses also appeared in front of the demon hunter.
That was a man with a lean body, with muscles sticking to the bones under the skin. He looked clearly malnourished, but somehow made people feel powerful.
He was wearing tattered clothes, it could even be said that he was just wrapped in a linen cloth.
The weapon on his waist is just as Lan En judged, it is a fighting knife that is very unique in this world.
A small glass lantern was placed at his feet, illuminating a very limited firelight. And he stood leaning against the doorpost of the arched door, looking into the ceremony venue with burning eyes.
The first time Lan En saw him, he looked him up and down.
This is indeed an expert in knife skills.
Whether it is the standing posture or the habitual movements of the hands. Even the tattered linen clothes.
The numerous tears on the clothes should have been cut by sharp weapons such as swords, rather than normal wear and tear of clothing over time.
However, despite being torn by so many sword attacks, there was not a drop of blood on the clothes, and the skin under the clothes was just thin and without scars.
If you think about it, you will know that such a person is an expert in playing with knives. .
“Another one.”
The man’s voice was dry, but his tone was sharp.
While speaking, he glanced sideways at Lan En who was walking towards him. He pressed his fingers on the scabbard and slightly pushed away the knife handle.
"Are you also the one who is blocking others from going to the fire-passing sacrificial site?"
Lan En has already guessed from the corpse on the road that there will be a person like him in front of him, so now we meet Not surprised either.
The demon hunter just walked over without changing his stride, and at the same time spread his hands beside him to show that he was not hostile.
"On the contrary, I think the two of us are on the same road."
"I also want to ask you what's going on standing here?"
Lan En's attitude was generous and unabashed. This contact strategy is a good way to make the 'experts' in front of them put down some hostility.
At least his thumb pushed back the blade that had been pushed out of the scabbard by a finger width.
“Me?”
His hand never left the scabbard.
"I came here to find a good knife. Rumor has it that the knife is near the Fire Sacrifice in Lothric."
"Looking for a knife?" Lan En was a little confused, "Now even the First Fire has weakened, and the order of the world is about to collapse. Are you here looking for a knife?"
"Just looking for a knife." The expert spoke calmly and matter-of-factly.
"I just want to come over to look for the knife when Lothric can't take care of it. The rest, the first fire, the orderliness of the world. I don't care about these. I only care about a good knife, and... He has good knife skills.”
“But this trip is really exciting.”
As he spoke, a sarcastic smile appeared on the expert’s lean face.
He pointed Lan En to the inside of the ceremony venue.
“This is the only way to enter the Fire Sacrifice, but look at that.”
Looking along the expert’s fingers, Lan En saw the person standing at the end of the ring ceremony. In the center, there were tall figures with several dim candles lit around them. Even compared to Lan En's stature, that man was a full head taller. Strong and intimidating.
Wearing a suit of dark silver armor, the visor looks like a human face, and he holds a thick and heavy halberd in his hand.
The blade of his halberd was stained with blood, but he just stood there and looked at the expert and Lan En at the door, as if as long as they didn't come in, he wouldn't be ready to move.
The expert lowered his fingers and leaned against the doorpost again.
“The captives of Lothric’s foreign campaign were originally supposed to replace the hero Guda who was burned by the prince.”
“The captives are willing to pay any price for freedom and are bound by fate. This is especially true for heroes."
"Some people in the team that escorted him rebelled. He should have negotiated terms with those people. After getting rid of the shackles and picking up weapons and armor, he stayed here. No one is allowed to pass, and there was even a black knight left over from the age of gods, who was killed by him, and now he doesn’t know when he will be reunited."
"Ha, you are indeed a great hero who was chosen as the Salary King."
"If you don't go in, you will be safe and sound." The expert pointed to where the two were standing, and then pointed toward the inside of the ceremony venue. "Once you get in, you'll be there until death."
"But I don't think you are a person who will be intimidated and stop on the way to your goal."
Lan En His eyes were looking at Guda in the center of the ceremony venue, but he was talking to the experts.
"You're right, I can't give up halfway. I'm here just for that good knife, and no one can make me give it up."
The expert said nonchalantly, and regardless of whether Lan En saw it or not, he tapped his temple.
“But I don’t want to die before I get the knife. So I won’t do it rashly until I am sure that I have seen through his moves and can defeat him.”
Lann glanced at the expert.
Listen to this. Does this person first observe the enemy's moves and then simulate the battle in his mind?
He is a very difficult swordsman.
If such a swordsman is accumulated deeply enough and the preparation time is long enough, anyone who encounters him will have a headache.
After Lan En was silent for a while, he walked straight past the expert and entered the ceremony hall.
"Unlike you, I still hope that the first fire will not be extinguished here, but first."
The expert remained motionless, as if Lan En was just passing by him.
“As you wish.”
Both of them are warriors and there is nothing pretentious about this situation. Just be prepared to fight tooth and nail and see blood for your own goals.
At the same time that Lan En passed the expert and stepped into the arched door.
Guda, who had been standing there, raised his head slightly amid the slight collision of armor parts.
As experts say, stepping into this ceremonial venue is equivalent to starting an endless battle with Gudatao.
Clear sword light flowed out from the scabbard on Lan En's left waist.
The Sword of the Lake Girl has already been unsheathed, and Lan En's hand subconsciously turned into a gorgeous sword flower.
In the center of the ceremony, the captive hero, who had never spoken a word from beginning to end, also clenched his halberd with a bang.
The halberd, which was even taller than Guda, made a lot of noise just by lifting it up from the ground.
The two people approached each other silently, and the killing intent bursting out from each other also made the already faint candlelight flicker even more in the rich dark sky.
“Bang!”
Guda, who was even bigger than Lan En, suddenly jumped up.
The impact under my feet caused the puddle in the middle of the ceremony venue to explode into a two-meter-high splash!
The demon hunter raised his eyes slightly. This was the first time he had seen a warrior in this world who could jump more than three meters high.
Following
“Dang!!!”
An explosion that almost tears the eardrums apart! There are also extremely dazzling sparks!
At the same time, it burst out from the middle point where the two swords met!
Lan En clenched his teeth subconsciously, causing the apples of his cheeks to bulge slightly.
Huge power!
The arms were shaking uncontrollably. At the same time, even if he kept his body posture stable, the friction on the soles of his feet could not keep Lan En still in place.
Amidst the sound of leather boots rubbing against stone slabs, Lann slid back seven or eight meters on the ground before he stopped.
The hero Guda, who jumped over and used his weight to assist the attack from a high position, his eyes suddenly widened under his strange helmet and visor.
Normally, he would wave his halberd once, and then the enemies on the opposite side would fly into the sky if they should, and roll away if they should be beaten.
It is even normal for the body and armor to be torn off in pieces by this blow.
But those are the consequences that the enemy's weak body should bear.
For him, swinging the halberd once and then again was not a difficult move at all.
But just now, after clashing with the enemy's weapons on the opposite side, an inexplicable force suddenly blocked his smooth movements!
With Guda's strength, even if his swing hits a solid rock wall, his halberd can directly 'dig' a swing trajectory on the rock wall and hit it directly. wear!
But now, the halberd he swung seemed to have hit the mountain wall made of fine steel, and was bounced back!
This also resulted in the continuous slashing that should have been carried out with super strength. After the first slash, it was impossible to launch a follow-up attack.
And when Lan En stabilized his body from sliding backwards from the impact, the hero Guda just happened to pull his halberd back to a normal combat posture.
There is no time to take advantage of the opportunity to pursue!
