Chapter 1317 1289. Beast Ludwig
Arondette’s silver light flashed again.
But in the process of restricting the enemy's movement by locking the enemy's weapons with armor, Lan En's knife still made him frown.
‘Is the distortion getting worse? ’
The witcher locked the sword under his left armpit and elbow, and raised the long sword in his right hand straight upward.
According to Lan En's original plan, the sword should strike diagonally upward from the opponent's right armpit holding the sword to the left collarbone, breaking out of the body.
Cut off the neck along with the entire right shoulder.
But the mouthparts that grew out of Ludwig's neck, countless eyeballs on the inner wall watched Lan En's blade spinning wildly!
The smooth friction sound of the eyeballs almost makes the hairs stand on end!
Through the friction and wrestling between his own heavy armor and the opponent's sword, Lan En keenly felt that the opponent's body was suddenly more completely deformed!
The moment he swung the knife, there was a sudden sound of bones breaking and reconnecting, muscles tearing and healing.
In this very short period of time, it was almost compressed into a heart-wrenching sound of flesh and bone.
"Crack. Bang."
From the right shoulder of Ludwig's right hand holding the sword, his limbs were neatly cut off by the Sword of the Lake Lady. The flesh and blood, including the sword, fell into the blood pool.
Even the airflow blade wrapped around the gracefully curved blade, the turbulent flowing air also rolled up a huge amount of blood on his body, spreading out a blood-red and foul-smelling liquid along the horizontal plane where the blade cut. curtain.
However, this knife did not cut off his head after all.
Because Ludwig's already skinny body, his neck suddenly nearly doubled in length!
The whole neck looks almost like a horse!
And it has become like this. Even if it is beheaded, can it be killed?
When Lan En released the big sword that he had used to take advantage of his heavy armor, he immediately retreated!
A rain of blood suddenly burst out from Ludwig's body, covering the ten-meter-wide space around him.
That was the minced meat and blood bursting out of the body during the violent and rapid transformation!
"Ah!!!"
A harsh sound like a donkey's neighing and a horse's braying burst out from the rain of blood.
Mixed with the pain of distortion, and Ludwig's own collapse.
The voice came from Ludwig's mouth, but the dominance of this body no longer belonged to the head.
When his head was controlled to make sounds, he must have been very frightened.
Lan En's amber vertical pupils quickly glanced around.
Within the area covered by the blood rain, Ludwig's two arms that were chopped off by him, as well as the weapons crafted by the Healing Church's workshop, were rapidly melting away.
The sound of rushing in the blood pool came from behind.
"What's going on?"
Maria pressed her hat, stopped beside Lan En, and whispered while looking at the violent rain of blood.
“Adeline.” Lan En asked without looking back, “Are you settled?”
“She is in a safe place, and she is almost scared to pieces here. "Maria's tone was much calmer than before, at least it didn't look like someone pretending to be calm after a breakdown.
Thanks to Lan En accompanying her to the research hall.
"I heard a very powerful firearm being fired here, so I rushed over after placing Adeline."
Her blood-red eyes glanced at the demon hunter beside her.
“This is different from the ‘quick and quiet’ course of action we agreed on before.”
In fact, Lan En and the others went to the research hall midway to ask Mary Ya and Adeline recognized the reality.
But not much slower than Henrik and the others.
It's just that those old hunters are already addicted to arson and blood. Lan En and Maria would be happy if they didn't get into too much entanglement with them.
That’s why Lan En would take the first step, find a relatively safe road ahead, and at the same time quickly kill the old hunters blocking the road.
Maria followed slowly with Adeline. If there was an old hunter who lost his mind after Lan En walked over, she would take care of it.
“The plan cannot keep up with the changes.” Lan En said to Maria cautiously, and at the same time raised his chin towards the receding rain of blood, “This is not someone who can be deceived by ‘walking quietly’ ."
"What does it mean?"
Maria looked at the rain of blood that gradually subsided in confusion, but in the end, after seeing clearly what it was, the blood noble's eyes were filled with only shock and pain.
“Ludwig?!”
Finally, after the rain of blood subsided, the ‘thing’ standing staggeringly above the blood pool was revealed.
Ludwig's clothes had been torn into tattered strips of cloth hanging on his body by the swelling black hair. This was the most obvious feature of lycanthropy.
But this is still nothing.
"Hey!!!!"
Ludwig's face has been completely elongated to the point where it doesn't look like a human being, but instead looks like a horse or a donkey. The right side of the face is particularly serious, and even the position of the eyes and eyebrows are asymmetrical to the left side. At the same time, just like the inhaling and braying sounds of a crazy horse or a crazy donkey, they were shouted out of his mouth uncontrollably.
Where Lan En chopped off his arms, twisted, animal-like, slender black-haired arms grew out.
His feet are also missing.
Seven or eight horse legs grew out of his body, and they were so crooked that it was hard to tell what they were for.
Some grow on the belly, some hang down on the back, and some simply grow towards the back of the body depending on the direction of the joints.
Seven or eight supernumerary horse legs were twitching sickly in mid-air.
The whole person is like a collection of weird and absurd things!
Its limbs became slender due to lycanthropy. This supernatural disease, or curse, caused its body to gain a large amount of weight and size out of thin air.
The length of the entire body reaches seven or eight meters. If you straighten your upper body, it would be as tall as the New World's Barbarosaurus!
From the size of a human to this level, the distortion and super-rationality of lycanthropy are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
The mouthparts with eyeballs on the neck still pushed his head aside and occupied a dominant position.
Although Maria had been in contact with Ludwig before, she could still vaguely recognize him from the twisted and elongated profile.
But at this time, I could hardly believe my eyes.
A beast twisted to this extent has never been seen before, even among lycanthropy patients!
And now, this beast-turned-man is the [Church’s First Hunter], the glorious Ludwig.
But now, no matter how tough and noble this person's spirit was before, no matter how strong this person's body is.
After contracting lycanthropy, he was just a beast.
In Yanan, this is a self-evident rule that has been passed down since ancient times.
The deformed and grotesque beast roared hysterically from Ludwig's mouth, as if it was about to take out his lungs.
It rested its paws on the ground, and a bunch of supernumerary hooves on the back half of its body were twitching nervously.
Only then did Lan En discover on the opponent's back that Ludwig seemed to be a hunter carrying two swords.
One of the deformed weapons, crafted by the Healing Church workshop, had just been melted in the rain of blood.
But there is still a long sword on Ludwig's back that is wrapped with torn strips of cloth. I don't know that when he was still a human, this [First Hunter of the Church] Exactly what kind of technology will be used to use it.
But now, although Maria gritted her teeth, the blade of [Falling Leaf] was already blooming with cold light.
Beside her, Lan En was holding the handle of the Sword of the Lake Lady, constantly opening and closing his palm to adjust the feel.
There is no doubt that what is in front of them is just a beast!
"Hmm! Hmm!!!"
Ludwig, who had completely transformed into a beast, let out a strange cry like a sick horse.
The pain of such a severe deformation of the body in such a short period of time is enough to drive a person crazy.
But the way lycanthropy manifested itself in Ludwig was very vicious.
The pain is borne by the head that still has traces of a human face, but the eyeballs and mouthparts that really dominate the body's movements are not stagnant at all.
A roaring sound like phlegm in the throat came from the round mouthparts covered with eyeballs.
At the same time, the mouthparts directly connected to the inside of the chest began to faintly emit airflow with the disgusting stench of internal organs.
"Get away, it's going to vomit!"
Lan, who had seen this move before, immediately said hello to Maria and immediately dodged sideways.
This unique blood noble is a well-known hunter in Yharnam. After being given hints, there is no need to worry about him at all.
Len's [Acceleration] is explosive and direct, while Maria's [Acceleration] is quick and capable.
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared in place almost the next moment after Lan En spoke.
At this moment, the sound of "呲呲呲岲" erupted!
It still spits liquid out of the mouthparts of the eyeball.
But what was sprayed out this time was not the dirty venom Lan En had seen before.
It is a liquid that emits a hazy white light, which almost gives the demon hunter a psychedelic feeling like facing the demons in the daytime.
There is no doubt that Ludwig, who is sinking more and more into lycanthropy, now attacks with a spiritual power.
