Chapter 1327 1299. Clergy Beast
The steps in front of the Cathedral of Church Town had been built very grandly during this period.
The scattered clergy were standing near the door outside the church.
They have obviously been ordered to guard the door here and prevent the things inside from coming out. At the same time, they cannot let anyone, including themselves, see what is happening inside.
That is the deepest and most untouchable secret belonging to the Healing Church.
All insiders will be eliminated as ordered by Archbishop Lawrence in his last human roar.
But these are just clergymen used to guard the door. How can they stop Lan En?
“Bang, bang!”
At the end of the stairs extending upward, the luxurious and heavy door of the cathedral was still shaking, making a crashing sound from the inside out.
And on the steps, there was a sound of '呲'.
Lan En released his hand, which was originally holding the shoulder of a clergyman. The dragon scales on the hand armor made a soft sound due to the change in the opening and closing angle of the palm.
Arondette, whose blade was as clear as silver lake water, was smoothly pulled out from the opponent's chest.
The splattered blood was not even stained by the armor due to the excellent skill of the sword wielder.
The clergyman was let go and his body, already limp and like mud, rolled down the steps.
There was no one blocking the way in front of Lan En, so he immediately went up and pushed open the door of the cathedral.
There is no difference from the ‘future’ Yanan.
After opening the door inside the cathedral, there is still an upward staircase.
There are creepy statues on either side of the stairs.
Like the head of a walnut that has been hollowed out and carved, golden spears are stuck in the skinny arms, pointing diagonally upward.
Weird and chilling.
But above the stairs, there was an extremely explosive movement!
"Ouch!!!"
The violent beast roared, and the sound sounded familiar to the demon hunter who had just entered.
Lan En stood under the stairs just after entering the door, unable to see clearly what was happening and what the scene was above.
But he only saw that as the chaotic roar of the beast echoed endlessly in the echo structure of the cathedral, the firelight that was reflected on the ceiling of the cathedral and then scattered became hotter and hotter!
"Bang!"
This time it was a muffled sound.
A black shadow flew directly from the stairs and hit the door that Lan En had just opened.
Unfortunately, the place where the black shadow hit was supposed to have a relief, but it was still a flat facade. But after Lan En opened the door...
"Click!"< br>
The black figure hit the edge of the opened door directly, and his head was shattered on the ground.
Finally, like a broken water bag, it hit Lan En's feet with a juicy sound.
This is an old hunter, wearing a wide-brimmed hat that has become soft and furry.
Not only was his head smashed into pieces, there were also burnt marks on his body.
The smell of blood, the smell of roasted proteins, the strange smell of wood, leather, and even stone being cracked by high temperatures, all began to rush into the demon hunter's nostrils.
The roars of wild beasts, the excited growls of hunters, and the sounds of metal and flesh tearing against each other are endless.
But in this chaos, Lan En seems to have been mentally prepared.
With a calm expression, he quickly climbed up the stairs, taking in the entire cathedral above the stairs.
The most conspicuous thing in sight is undoubtedly a beast.
A burning beast!
"Ouch!!!"
It's just like the clergy beast Lan En once hunted with Henryk in Yharnam in the 'future'.
The huge body is so dry that the bones are exposed, and the hair is so thick that it is scary.
The wolf has strong and ferocious antlers on its head. One hand is shrunken, but the other hand is abnormally strong.
It’s just that this end of the cathedral is different from the clergy beast Lan En saw before, in that it is burning!
It's not the kind of burning that gets hurt by fire because of hunters' penchant for using fire.
But it is as if hot lava is flowing inside its own chest, under its bones, and on its hair!
Glow, heat, and fire!
If the common sense of the Yannan people is: to deal with wild beasts, you must use fire.
Then Lan En feels that this common sense will probably not apply to this beast.
How much fire can be as high as the temperature on its body now?
The clergy beast that was able to appear in the cathedral caused the Healing Church to seal off the entire cathedral.
In Lan En’s speculation, there was only Lawrence! "Roar!"
Lawrence roared, its strong arm slapped the ground randomly, and after falling suddenly, an explosive wave of fire spread out.
There was a "squeaking" sound as the protein was quickly burnt and the body fat was boiling!
But no one here screamed.
In other words, nothing emits a 'human scream'.
"Ah!" He roared in a confused and meaningless manner.
The hair on the crazed hunter's face became thicker, although more than half of his body was burned by the flames.
But he still didn't notice or didn't care. A steel claw hammer immediately hit Lawrence's palm that was on the ground!
A blast of "Bang!"!
The hammer with a mechanical structure on the hammer head is an explosive hammer!
The deformed mechanism weapon produced by the Yharnam Hunter Workshop made a spiderweb-like dent on the marble floor of the church through Lawrence's claws!
This style of grafting the violence of gunpowder weapons onto deformed weapons is a unique combat weapon style created by a group of hunters in Yanan known as the "Gunpowder Keg Gang".
But this hunter who was obviously abnormal, after he hit Lawrence's claws with a cracking sound of bones cracking, he suddenly knelt down with a 'pop'!
That was a hunter holding an extendable hunting ax like Gascoigne.
He raised his ax high from behind, with a cheerful and distorted smile on his face. As soon as the hunter from the Powder Keg Gang hit the hammer, he immediately slashed it in the back!
The hunter of the Powder Keg Gang has gone crazy, and the spine of his back is exposed from the blurred flesh and blood!
The whole body immediately knelt forward uncontrollably.
The guy holding the hunter's ax immediately came closer and opened his palm like a claw!
“Puff!”
A huge burst of blood! As the ax hunter thrust his hand from the back into the gunpowder keg hunter's waist, it exploded!
The hunter's special gloves stirred the internal organs and blood vessels in the body, followed by wild and cruel pulling!
Under the special technique, the degree of blood bursting is greatly enhanced, almost comparable to the blood rain brought out from the enemy's body by Lan En using the airflow blade!
The hunter's long and blood-red tongue licked the blood splattered on the side of his face and the corner of his mouth.
Under the brim of the hat, there was only a bloodthirsty and addictive light in his eyes!
Lan En once had an encounter with two high-level vampires and a group of blood-sucking creatures in the magical medieval world while searching for the master-level equipment blueprints of his Bear School.
But to be honest, even those brainless vampire creatures who are addicted only to blood are far less crazy and morbidly thirsty for blood than these hunters of Yharnam!
This does not even mean that hunters are ‘blood-sucking creatures’. They are thirsty for blood. Even if it has nothing to do with physical needs, they will continue to pursue the smell of blood because of psychological needs
This is simply a ‘bloodthirsty monster’!
There are a lot of old hunters in the cathedral now, but Lawrence went crazy here for a while and was not captured, because these hunters themselves have been lost in the sweet taste of the blood of the Son of God!
They don't want to think about anything else now, they just want to bleed!
My own and others', as long as there is this sweet smell of blood!
But Lan En only finds the smell of blood disgusting!
"[Alder]!"
"Bang!"
The Witcher, who had just walked up the steps of the cathedral, pressed his left hand on the ground with his handprint!
Suddenly, a circular shock wave composed of chaotic magic, accompanied by the sound of air surging, suddenly spread from the point where the handprint landed!
Burning ashes on the ground, broken stones, and fragments of prayer benches scattered on the ground.
The advanced form of the seal obtained from the knowledge of the Wolf School was instantly dashed away!
In the chaos, the advanced form of [Alder's Seal] can not only impact in a single direction, but also appear in a circular shape like an explosive air wave.
The knowledge of the seals retained by the Wolf School, as well as Lan En's own chaos magic reserve far exceeds that of a normal demon hunter.
[Smaug] On the armor, Berengar worked hard to improve it, using master-level blacksmith techniques to add several layers of increased seal strength.
At this moment, even the old hunters who had already entered the stage of lycanthropy could not stand under the impact and fell into a rolling gourd on the marble floor!
The flames that originally spread on the ground were also extinguished due to the short-term lack of air caused by [Alder's Seal].
The sound of metal rubbing against the mouth of the alchemy leather bag came gently from Lan En's waist.
The [Holy Moonlight Sword] wrapped with a strip of cloth appeared in Lan En's hand in its normal form.
And he held the hilt of the sword upside down, pointed it at the head of an old hunter lying on the ground at his feet, and stabbed him right through!
Yharnan hunters obviously have no way of dealing with enemies while lying down.
The hard sword blade that was not wrapped in cloth passed through the wide-brimmed hat and head, and the old hunter's body immediately stopped moving like a rag doll.
After all, not just any hunter can have the quality of Ludwig's blood, receive such high-quality and high-frequency [blood therapy], and be burdened with the curse of the blow that killed the Son of God.
I don’t know if I will die even if my head is cut off.
But because he was cautious about [Blood Therapy], when Lan En pulled out the [Holy Moonlight Sword] from the opponent's head, he flicked the sword.
There was a "stab" sound.
The sword blade that had just been pulled out of his head slashed across the old hunter's neck and chopped off his head.
