Chapter 1346 1318. Funeral Blade
After stabbing the knife in, Lan En knew from the feel that his intention to end the battle instantly had failed.
The bright silver blade penetrated the collarbone of the old hunter's neck. The skin, flesh and bones under the sharp blade did not cause any obstruction, and directly penetrated the shoulder blade and protruded from the back shoulder.
However, it failed to cause more harm to the old hunter.
Because when the knife was stabbed in, Geman's disturbed body movement had already been readjusted by him.
After Lan En noticed something was wrong in the feel of his hand, he immediately wanted to press down on the blade, directly through the opening, holding the handle of the knife and pulling it down!
Cut open the old hunter’s upper body and chest.
But Gehrman's left hand acted almost at the same time as Lan En's intention, holding the back of Alondette's knife in his palm.
He didn't want to directly use this unfavorable posture to fight against Lan En's power. He just wanted to gain a moment of time.
“噌~”
The sharp edge of the blade rubbed against the severed bone, making a tooth-piercing sound.
The old hunter's thin and tall body has escaped Arondette's blade.
German ‘pulled’ himself off the knife.
From beginning to end, except for the moment of shock when he was knocked out of his posture, the old hunter was as cold as the sickle blade in his hand.
German, who ‘pulled out’ the blade, had no intention of backing down.
Yharnan hunters have always had a fast attack and defense fighting style.
Only the blood shed from the enemy can soothe the painful physical and mental pain of the hunters.
The induction of [Blood Therapy] makes the hunters, during battle, almost more eager and impulsive than the vampires in Lan En's impression, thirsting for the enemy's blood to be spilled.
When Geman took a step back, the huge scythe that he had just dropped to the ground in a state of loss of control turned around with a 'clop' sound!
The sickle blade is retracted!
While pulling the scythe back, it seemed as if he wanted the scythe blade to cut into Lan En's lower back and hook him together.
During this process, after the body separated from the enemy's blade, there was no trace of the movement defects that should have been caused by the broken collarbone and shoulder blade.
German didn’t even have a single knife edge left on the old but strict hunting suit he wore.
The conversion of offense and defense, and the change of dominant position, all happen in an instant!
But at this moment, Lan En, who saw with his own eyes that his attack had no effect, chuckled.
"How much more support can He give you?"
Geman, who has already entered the hunting state, cherishes words like gold, and even the old man's whispers that were like talking in sleep are much rarer.
The corners of his old mouth under the shadow of the brim of his hat just murmured calmly.
“For you.”
“That’s enough.”
"Ouch!"
The sharp force of the scythe's pullback cut through the air and made an explosive sound!
A large area of white flowers on the ground were harvested in the air waves brought by the sickle, and the petals were floating in the moonlight.
But there was no blood splashing and no sharp blade piercing the flesh.
I only heard a dull but crisp ‘bang’ sound!
A piece of earth and stone in the sea of flowers exploded due to the reaction force of stepping on it, as if it was stuffed with a bomb!
"Really?" Lan En, who was wearing heavy armor but could still leap lightly with his explosive body strength, looked down at Geman in mid-air.
He smiled and extended the invitation.
“We can give it a try.”
At some point, Alondette, who had been unsheathed, was now back in the scabbard on his waist.
And his right hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife.
[Water-Shaped Sword·Cross Slash]!
"Swish" twice!
Lan En's body in mid-air blocked the huge moon. In the shadow, only two clear silver lights flashed from the demon hunter's waist!
Then the silver light was like a whip that extended the whipping, and was whipped directly to the ground from the waist of Lan En, who had jumped four to five meters high!
"Boom!"
This time it was truly like an explosion!
The airflow blade brought up by special techniques extends from the real blade.
After two swift and fierce ‘whips’ hit the ground of the sea of flowers, their power exploded!
Earth and rocks mixed with flower petals collapsed and scattered.
A huge cross-shaped ferocious knife mark suddenly appeared on the sea of white flowers!
This huge and violent force is terrifying enough even for hunting large beasts in Yharnam, let alone killing people!
However, after the sword that was enough to cut off the head of the clergy monster passed by, Lan En's expression did not relax at all.
Because after all, Yanan’s [First Hunter] is far stronger than any monster!
In the huge smoke and dust stirred up by [Cross Slash], there is a black shadow that is not conspicuous. The wind pressure generated by the rapid movement instantly pulls the smoke and dust that are still in the process of expansion and diffusion. It became a long strip!
"Do you think you are light enough and fast enough?"
The deep old voice sounded calmly in the ears of Lan En, who had not yet landed after cutting [Cross Slash].
The fluttering windbreaker suddenly appeared in front of Lan En's eyes. The windbreaker was still flying in front of his eyes, which meant that the old man wearing the windbreaker had actually crossed the front and came to his side.
Only at this moment did Lan En suddenly shrink his pupils, and his eyes subconsciously turned downward in front of him.
And the curved sickle blade, which gave the moonlight reflected on it a chill, was already hooked on his waist.
Under the huge moon wheel, the old hunter used super speed to avoid the [Cross Slash] extended slash that shattered the rock and soil under the sea of flowers, and headed straight towards Lan En also jumped up!
And faster than a witcher! Lighter!
The figures of the two people in mid-air were reflected dimly in the huge and bright moon.
Lan En was hooked around the waist by the sickle blade, and his whole body was unbalanced in mid-air. The silhouette seemed to be split in two by the sickle blade dragged by Geman in the next second!
When it comes to speed, no one in Yanan is more qualified to boast than Geman, who created and perfected the entire fighting style of hunters!
The creator of Lan En's most commonly used technique, the Acceleration Technique, to increase his own movement speed is the tall and thin old man in front of him.
Lan En is not the kind of rigid guy who favors the past over the present and thinks that the successors must be inferior to the founders.
If nothing else, he believed that with his swordsmanship, even if he was placed in front of Ashina Isshin, the old guy would definitely fight for his life and ask for a fight with him with an unprecedented desperate mentality. Fight to the death.
But when it comes to [Acceleration] alone, to be honest, Lan En felt a clear gap in front of Geman.
This old thing is so fast!
Even when he jumped up in front of him and dragged the sickle to his waist, he suddenly reacted.
Lan En's current fighting speed is basically the [Light Body Technique] used to reduce his own weight, the running and jumping skills learned from the [Lone Shadow Ninja Technique Book], plus the hard acceleration of [Acceleration Technique] , integrated together.
That's why he, a warrior wearing heavy armor, can show extraordinary flexibility.
But in front of Geman, he simply used [Acceleration] to break through all of Lan En's current movement skills!
The current Geman, I don’t know if it is some advanced application technology of [Acceleration], but his body really looks like what Lan En felt before!
A cyan, illusory flame that resembles static burning emerged!
With Geman in this state, Lann suspected that if Ludwig only used the exquisite weapons from the church workshop instead of his own [Holy Moonlight Sword], he might be able to stand up to this old guy. Only one minute!
He exploded so fast!
German himself also knows how fast he is.
This is how fast he was even after breaking a leg.
So, he just feels pity now.
It's a pity that I didn't put a little 'appropriate' blood on the blade of the sickle beforehand.
Otherwise, after this moment, the blade cut into the stranger's body, and the sweet blood mixed into the wound, and he would have completed his mission.
But that’s okay.
Under the brim of the top hat, the old man's eyes were calm and indifferent.
Cut him in half, and finally give him blood, but the result is no different.
For some reason, Geman thought so under the increasingly bright moonlight.
But then
“Huh?!”
The Yanan hunter was as cold as a template. In the short time of a battle, surprise and consternation appeared again!
"Kah!" There was a heartbreaking sound of metal scraping, and the sharp sound it erupted was so sharp that it made people's scalp numb!
And this time, the one who was surprised by the feeling from his hand was Geman!
With the [Funeral Blade] in my hand, the handle of the scythe lacks the sharpness and smoothness of the past, the sense of cutting that passes through the flesh and bones, and the blood that is drawn out and spilled out. of pleasure.
On the contrary, now he really seems to have hooked something hard and heavy with an ordinary hook!
‘Can that armor block my sword? ! ’
The old hunter thought a little confused.
[Funeral Blade] is the beginning of the transformation weapons developed by Yharnam hunters to this day, and it is also the pinnacle masterpiece.
The blade of this scythe is made of a special meteorite that drifted here from the universe.
The young hunters have not seen this weapon, but those who are experienced enough know that this weapon is likened to a 'Quiet' among hunters.
That refers to the hunting process of [The First Hunter] Gehrman, which is always neat and tidy beyond imagination.
The prey that died in his hands will surely die peacefully and no longer suffer from nightmares.
The sharpness and power of this weapon can be seen from this.
And in the long years of Yanan, Geman really never thought about how any armor could withstand the blade of [Funeral Blade]? !
According to Geman's usual feel, in front of [Funeral Blade], the normal defense of hunters and monsters is a piece of paper, and the particularly outstanding defense power is the paper folded in half.
So now, when the blade of [Funeral Blade] was forcefully eaten by [Smaug]'s abdominal armor, Gehrman became abnormally shocked.
But outstanding technology and experience still saved his life at this time.
The first time he realized something was wrong with his hand, the old hunter who was still feeling pity subconsciously lowered his head.
Then "Whoa!"
A clear blade of light grazed the top of the top hat, only picking up a few burrs of the cashmere hat.
