Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1316 1288. Heavy Armor

"Bang!"

The firearm specially made by Ludwig's church workshop exploded again!

It is a safe fighting habit to use firearms to consume the opponent after gaining distance.

In order to highlight the advantages of this habit, Ludwig's firearms have been specially enhanced in terms of range and power.

And with Ludwig's body's proficiency in [Acceleration Technique], he will basically always be in an advantageous position in distance control.

Lan En's forward motion is forward, and he can use [Acceleration] to retreat simultaneously.

Although retreating is slower than advancing, he can fire to delay the approaching witcher on the opposite side.

If you want to dodge the bullet, you have to make one more lateral displacement no matter what. This wasted step is the basis for Ludwig to maintain the distance advantage.

Even though there is no brain controlling this body now, the old hunter can already reproduce his previous tactical moves based on his physical experience.

In the past, this tactic should have helped him complete many hunts with ease.

Faced with this tactic, one can only ignore the mercury bullets and rush forward. Otherwise, use long-range attacks to fight against each other.

But those charging beasts never defeated Ludwig.

Even if the enemy is also a hunter, there should be few people in Yanan who would dare to take on Ludwig.

Putting aside the advantages of the church workshop's special firearms, in the entire Yharnam, are there many hunters in this place whose blood quality is higher than Ludwig's?

For hunters who use mercury bullets mixed with blood as their main kill, the quality of the blood determines the amount of damage.

Ludwig shot him down with one shot, and even if an ordinary hunter had a blood collection bottle, he would basically have to take it in for most of his life.

And when someone else shot Ludwig, he probably just shook his shoulder and felt a little pain.

But today, facing Lan En, this tactic was not as effective as before.

Ludwig's habitual tactics always pushed his enemies into uncomfortable situations.

But facing the Lan En Demon Hunter, when Ludwig fired [Acceleration] and retreated, and fired the second shot, he immediately realized the intention of the opponent's tactics.

Immediately afterwards, the biological brain in his brain began to perform instantaneous calculations according to his wishes.

Finally, we came to an optimistic conclusion—

"The shooting power is being imported into the model, [Smaug] armor strength, and [Quen's Seal] are being imported into the model. Sir."

The voice of Biochemical Intelligent Brain is as capable and precise as ever.

"The other party's firearms, except for the so-called 'blood quality' on the mercury bullets, I don't think will cause any trouble to your heavy armor."

The calculation was over in an instant, and Lan, who had received Mentos's accurate report, had also made a tactical decision based on the calculation results.

—Do you think I’m one of those mindless and unarmored Yharnam beasts? !

"Pong Pong!"

The bullets continuously hit the target that did not dodge or dodge, but it only made a burst of explosions as the metal bullets collided with the hard barrier, and the advancing figure was not affected at all!

Lan En's left hand was in front of his face, holding the [Quen's Seal] gesture on his palm, and sparks erupted from his arm armor as the warhead was knocked away.

The mercury bullet first broke through [Quen's Seal], and then hit [Smaug]'s dragon scale armor. Only the bullet deformed under the squeeze of kinetic energy.

This kinetic energy is transmitted to the armor layer by layer, but it is also due to the excellent shape design of [Smaug] as a whole set of armor and the strength of the material itself.

Even the mercury bullets that hit the ribs from a tricky angle were bounced straight away in front of this thick and arrogant armor!

And those impact forces, after penetrating into the closely arranged armor plates, acted on Lan En's body.

However, ordinary people's bodies may also suffer internal organ damage due to the impact.

Today, Lan En has a layer of steel cables on the outer layer of his muscles to strengthen his muscles and strengthen his bones.

Layers of energy absorption, layer of weakening.

The impact of the bullet on his seriously tensed body was even worse than cutting his nails.

There was a burst of 'ding-ding-ding-ding'!

But in front of Ludwig's specially-made firearm, Lan En was like a giant bear running into the breeze!

Rampage! No response!

Ludwig's tactics hope to hinder the enemy with shooting, thereby creating margin for his own distance control, making him more comfortable.

But facing an opponent who is heavily armored and has an astonishing tolerance for impact, this method is completely useless when Lan En can't worry about getting hurt!

In the round mouthparts, countless eyeballs rotated in panic.

But after all, they were not Ludwig himself. After a set of physical tactical habits did not work, they had no idea what strategy to adopt.

The mouthparts squirmed and gasped outwards, carrying a disgusting visceral smell.

Judging from the size and position of this mouthpart, it may indeed be the thoracic organ of Ludwig's body.

The wild and majestic body rushed directly in front of Ludwig!

This time it was a silver light that flashed from Lan En's right hand!

"Stab it!"

Alondette's blade is extremely sharp!

Slashing from bottom to top, Ludwig's firearm was first cut into two pieces of different sizes. The cut in the metal section was smooth and sharp, and could reflect light and be used as a mirror.

The gun was chopped into two unequal parts, and the hand holding the gun was the same.

The elegant blade passed through Ludwig's body like it was cutting through the air, and brought out a large amount of sticky and foul-smelling blood.

From the position of the upper arm close to the armpit, the skinny and deformed gun-holding arm detached from the body along with the chopped-off gun barrel! However, after cutting off the enemy's hand neatly, Lan En did not immediately pursue him.

Instead, his legs were entangled in the spiral wind.

[Acceleration Technique]!

It flashed to the side a not too far distance away!

That is less than two meters.

But immediately after Lan En sidestepped, the round mouthparts that proliferated on Ludwig's neck made a "gurgling" sound like nausea.

Then there was a 'wow' moment.

It was unclear whether it was black or dark green liquid, and it suddenly spurted out from the mouthpart whose inner wall was full of eyeballs.

He just vomited on the spot where Lan En was standing just now.

The blood pool was boiling, and even the rocks under the blood pool made a squeaking sound of being corroded.

Amidst the corrosive sound, misty but foul-smelling smoke also rose.

Although Lan En is wearing heavy armor, this heavy armor does not yet have the ability to resist poison.

Demon hunters are quite resistant to poison, but that's in the normal world.

In Yanan, Lan En didn't even dare to let [Turbid Current·Destruction] come out to take a bite of food, let alone let his body try the poison here.

So he hid simply.

But after sidestepping, Lan En did not relax.

Because the left hand holding the gun was cut off, this made the opponent's tactical choices simpler.

The half-sword in Ludwig's right hand made an upward stroke that was almost like a 'whipping' on his arm that was extremely uncoordinated but could be fully swung because of enough strength!

Lan En raised his head and watched calmly as the sword blade, which was so fast that it left a white line mark in the air, passed by his chin.

It stands to reason that the gap period after the enemy swings his sword is a good time to attack.

But Lan En still didn't act rashly.

Because on the one hand, it is very strange that Ludwig, the [first hunter of the church], has an ordinary half-hand sword as the main weapon in his right hand.

On the other hand, the big metal scabbard on his back didn't look like a 'simple' scabbard.

really.

With a "click" sound, the unique mechanical opening and closing sound of Yanan's machine-shaped transforming weapon sounded.

Under the witcher's calm and composed reaction, Ludwig inserted the half-sword in his hand directly into the wide metal scabbard behind his back smoothly and accurately!

And from the posture of sheathing the sword from behind, which is similar to that of a demon hunter, directly connected to the huge metal scabbard, it was swung forward with one hand and thrust out!

In this state, this is no longer an ordinary hand-and-half sword, but a giant sword that is almost the same as the [Turbid Current] before Nergigante was added to the material!

The wide metal scabbard is in the shape of a leek leaf, and the surface of the sword is engraved with the religious patterns of the Healing Church, which is similar to the pattern of the cloth belt hanging on the back of the clergy.

It is also a church weapon, and has a similar mechanism to the [Church Stone Hammer]. The half-sword in Ludwig's hand actually acted as a 'grip'.

Once the scabbard is retracted and stuck into the mechanism, the hilt of the sword in your hand directly becomes the hilt of this big sword!

Ludwig's body was in an extremely twisted posture, and he thrust the giant sword forward with one hand in a spin.

The degree of distortion in this posture is as if the person controlling the body is not used to the human body, but is more accustomed to the movements of fish, worms and the like.

But although the posture is uncoordinated, it is also full of suddenness and unpredictability.

Even Lan En could only determine whether his action was stabbing or chopping when he was halfway through the action.

However, the trouble this caused to Lan En only ended there.

The attack action has been seen through and is meaningless.

There was a sharp sound of metal friction, a 'stab' sound, and fierce sparks bursting out.

This movement did not originate from the confrontation between the Lake Lady's Sword and the giant sword in Ludwig's hand.

The sparks from the metal friction burst into the crook of Lan En's elbow.

The demon hunter looked calm and relied on his solid armor to tilt his body slightly to the side.

And the space between the torso and the arms was opened, allowing the big sword to penetrate directly!

Then the elbow, forearm, and torso cooperate and lock!

The metal sword blade and the scales of [Smaug] on the armor rubbed and collided with each other. But in the end, Lan En was completely restrained and unable to move.

A man of high skill is bold, and at the same time he has a natural tendency to wear heavy armor and torture his enemies.

"You really" ignored the elbows and armpits. The other party twitched the giant sword with all his strength, and the sound of the friction and wrestling between the metal and the dragon scales was simply harsh.

Lan En tilted his head and said, "I have never fought against an enemy wearing heavy armor."

"Stab it!"
