Chapter 1328 1300. Lawrence
The advanced stage of the witcher [Alder's Seal] cleared a large open space directly at the entrance of the cathedral.
The hunters who were killing each other frantically, under the indiscriminate circular shock wave, even if they did not fall down like the old hunter in front of Lan En, they at least staggered for a while.
The originally chaotic and bloody scene suddenly became a quiet place for a short period of time.
But just as Lan En was executing an old hunter who was knocked to the ground by the [Alder Seal], a figure wearing a wide academic robe came from the very inconspicuous side of the cathedral. Corner suddenly rushed over.
His figure was no slower than any old hunter, so much so that even the bachelor's robe was filled with wind as he ran. The fabric made a "whooshing" sound, brushing past Lan En's side, heading towards Direction of the church door.
There seemed to be something tightly wrapped in his academic robe.
Lan En didn’t know who this was at first.
After all, he had never met this scholar, but he was familiar with the Byron Weiss standard scholar robe he was wearing, and was shocked that the scholar's robe appeared in the Healing Church.
It seemed that the other party also went straight to the entrance of the cathedral without any hostility towards other people.
Therefore, he quickly walked past Lan En without any hostility, which did not arouse the witcher's conditioned reaction.
But immediately after, when the gloomy man in scholar's robe passed two or three steps behind him.
“Suck~”
The demon hunter’s nose twitched and his eyes suddenly widened!
Stinky and sticky, the smell of blood was unexpected even in this scene where blood was all over the floor, and was caught by his keen sense of smell.
The smell of blood was foul and repellent in his nose, which had not been injected with sacred blood.
But to the noses of the Yanan people, it is absolutely heart-wrenchingly sweet!
This smell is familiar even to Lan En. This smell of blood is...
"It's the blood of a superior! Sir!" Mentos retrieved Lan En's olfactory memory in an instant, And the answer was given immediately. "Wrapped in the arms of his robe is the body of the orphan of Kos!"
Since Lawrence and the entire cathedral fell into madness because of the blood of the Son of God, Mikrash decisively cut it off without being killed. Half of the Son of God, pressed down by Lawrence's claws, wanted to evacuate.
But in the church that was suddenly in chaos, there was Lawrence who had become the first clerical beast in history.
There are also many old hunters and scholars who have gone crazy.
Although Mikrash's skill is considered average even among Yharnam hunters, he is a researcher after all, not a warrior.
In one breath, everything became chaotic. It was true that he would not be caught in a short time. He hid in the cathedral for a while, but he had no time to escape.
But now, this intruder has definitely cleared a path!
As long as I can get out. As long as I can get out.!
Mikrash hugged the thin and sticky half of the corpse tightly in his robe. The madness in his eyes was probably no better than that of the old hunters.
The demon hunter flicked the blade, and the wrapped strips of cloth on the [Holy Moonlight Sword] flew into the air.
Seeing that Lan En was about to rush forward, he stepped forward and grabbed the man who was holding his target.
But as soon as his hand reached halfway, the demon hunter stopped abruptly, and the dragon scales on his boots scratched against the marble floor, making a harsh sound.
Instead, he rushed deeper into the cathedral!
It's not that he doesn't want the body of the Son of God, but now, he clearly sees half of a strange and strange corpse lying on the stone table deep in the cathedral!
That is also the body of the Son of God!
More importantly, as if seeing Mikrash's escape, Lawrence's level of madness suddenly soared even though he had already sunk into an extremely serious state of animal transformation!
It began to smash and slap wildly, and flames burst out of its body like a steady stream!
It was about to hit the stone table where the body of the Son of God was!
Let people run away with half of the body of the Son of God, and at least they can find it again.
If the body of the Son of God was directly smashed to pieces and burned by Lawrence's claws, then it would be too late!
The instant decisions and choices, and even the subsequent plans, were instantly formed in Lan En's mind with the help of Mentos, and were executed.
A "boom" sound!
Lan En's heavy body and the strength of his armor directly pressed down on one foot, firmly stepping on the calf of a crazy old hunter!
This old hunter was staggered by the upgraded [Alder Seal] just now, and after a moment, he actually couldn't stand still.
With a 'click', the bone broke, and the broken bone was directly poked out of the opponent's pants by Lan En's step!
Considering the hardness of [Smaug]'s armor, even these crazy old hunters' bodies are too fragile.
He stepped on the old hunter's calf, but the other party seemed to have no reaction at all.
For those who have already begun to transform into beasts, they don't feel the injury at all.
But Lan En doesn’t need it to feel.
“呲流~”
The old hunter whose calf was trampled off immediately fell to the ground, and Lan En’s feet pushed his body, which was full of mess and blood. The marble floor became slippery.
Kicked him to the paws of crazy Lawrence!
This was a bait to attract Lawrence's attention and prevent him from damaging the half-body of the Son of God on the stone table.
Sure enough, this is very useful for Lawrence, who has completely lost his humanity.
“Ouch!”
The wolf with the huge antlers howled, and the claws that it raised and didn’t know where to hit suddenly hit it with a ‘bang’ On the body of the old hunter.
The huge claws were enough to cover the old hunter's entire body. Like squeezing ketchup, a mixture of blood and minced meat burst out from the beast's fingers with a 'puff' sound.
Then it was burned black by the high temperature.
It just bought me time to swing my paw, but that was enough.
Lan En held the hilt of the [Holy Moonlight Sword] with one hand, and gently stroked the sword guard with the other hand, and then pulled it down suddenly! Then there was a soft sound of "buzz~"!
The deep blue moonlight instantly extended from the sword guard, covering the blade and expanding and growing!
The iconic crystal sword blade finally formed!
Deep in the blade is a complex magic pattern with ice-blue light.
“Swish!”
Just like Ludwig’s action not long ago, two crescent-shaped blue-blue light blades emerged from Lan En’s swinging posture. , separated from the sword.
The tail was still swaying with fluorescent plankton-like light spots, and it flew towards Lawrence!
[Moonlight Sword Qi]!
Compared to [Moonlight Torrent], it is much lighter, but because of this, the execution process is smoother and faster. The moonlight blade cuts through the air.
With a faint dreamy cry, it struck Lawrence!
“Carara!”
“Ouch!!!”
The cracking sound of skinny bones was heartbreaking, and Lawrence roared madly because of this.
Two [Moonlight Sword Qi], one slashed directly on Lawrence's hairy lumbar vertebrae that was no longer covered with flesh and blood and was directly exposed.
The other one struck the antlers on its head because its body was shaking.
The bushy antlers look simply abnormally large and pathologically spreading.
But it is unexpectedly fragile.
[Moonlight Sword Qi] directly cut the antlers on both sides into an unbalanced shape with one side larger and the other smaller.
The damage to the lumbar vertebrae almost caused Lawrence to collapse!
After two [Moonlight Sword Qi], Lan En himself followed closely behind.
Although Lawrence's whole body was on fire now, it was as if what was flowing in his body was no longer blood, but lava.
But it is a clerical beast after all.
In this era, no one in Yanan would believe that the clergy of the Healing Church would also degenerate into beasts.
After all, they have firm beliefs and sufficient [blood therapy] resources.
But for Lan En, this is not the first time he has faced clergy monsters.
In the 'future' Yanan, with Henryk's help, he once hunted Mark who had turned into a beast.
Yes, according to Lan En’s observations during this period, Mark was Henryk’s friend who turned into a beast.
He is now a church hunter, but after experiencing the night of hunting that destroyed Old Yharnam, he became afraid of fire and became an ordinary cleric again.
Finally, on the bridge connecting Yanan in Church Town, on that endless night of hunting, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Lan En has always had an advantage when facing an enemy who knows everything.
An overwhelming advantage!
“Oops!”
The witcher's footsteps were so fast and urgent that they were mixed with the sound of weapons breaking through the air.
He dodged lightly and just escaped from Lawrence's waving claws.
At the same time, the light and deep moonlight in his hand struck one after another on Lawrence’s lumbar vertebrae that had been injured by him!
With every slash, the [Holy Moonlight Sword] can bring out an ethereal and psychedelic sound and a spot of light.
And there is a growing crack on Lawrence’s lumbar vertebrae!
Until the end.
“Ouch!!!”
Lawrence roared in pain, and his entire upper body flung forward, as if he had completely lost contact with his lower limbs.
The blue sword in Lan En's hand was swiped behind him without looking back. An old hunter rushed forward in a frenzy, and the handle of the hunter's ax in his hand was broken in half.
Melee has this kind of problem. There is no way to deal with one enemy wholeheartedly.
Simply put, Lan En’s target is not anyone here.
He only wanted the body of the orphan of Kos.
So Lan En cut off the ax handle in the old hunter's hand with a sword, and after knocking the man back several steps, he did not prepare to pursue, but directly wanted to use [acceleration] to rush forward. It’s on the stone table of the main altar!
But just when he was about to leave these unnecessary enemies behind and go straight to his goal.
“Ouch.Ouch!!!”
Lawrence was broken by Lan En at the waist. The beast simply reached out and tore off the lower body that was still dragging on him!
The sound of ‘stab’ was accompanied by a violent roar!
And what came out of the wound on the waist of the beast with only the upper body left was exactly what Lan En felt before. It was not blood, it was magma!
The beast roared with its teeth and claws, and its two claws slapped and scratched on the ground.
And a large amount of lava, almost larger than the volume of its entire body, flowed out from the fracture on its waist!
No one knows how or where this magma came out.
Just like the beasts of Yanan, they are irrational and crazy things.
In an instant, after igniting Old Yharnam, the pervasive magma spewed out again on a large scale!
