Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 543 544. Harpalos
Continuing to walk deeper into the cave, Lan En and Cassandra encountered these weird 'human beings'.

Their bodies were stiffly spliced ​​with the limbs of various beasts.

In terms of combat difficulty alone, the trouble these enemies can cause is not as great as the 'original genuine' body parts on their bodies.

Without detailed surgical planning and biological knowledge, these limbs were simply spliced ​​to the human body.

Trying to make them play a powerful role is not as effective as praying to the meteor shower.

Lan En's academic level in the biological field and his academic pride made him completely unable to admit that these things were 'enhanced by biological means'.

They're like the augmented beings from ancient science fiction novels.

The person who did this had no corresponding knowledge and cognition at all. He just picked animal limbs that he thought were powerful and then rigidly linked them to the human body.

Rather than saying that this is a biochemical surgery rich in technology, it is better to say that it is a cruel and ignorant grotesque art born from the worship of primitive power.

The only thing that made Lan En feel wrong was——

This kind of transformation that was forced on me with no knowledge or experience and based on imagination was actually done!

Regardless of how long these Ares believers who have been stuffed with a bunch of beast limbs can survive, anyway, their limbs are connected and can be used to a certain extent.

Lan En felt that it was necessary to explore this phenomenon.

A brood of various beasts, or Ares believers who can't even match the fighting prowess of beasts, these people will be very troublesome for ordinary warriors.

But the trouble caused to Cassandra and Lann was very limited.

And it’s more of a mental disturbance.

Fortunately, Lan En is a materialist.The lady in the lake is such a conceptual god, he can still chat normally when standing in front of her.

But Cassandra is a girl born and raised in ancient Greece.

The strong religious atmosphere and the worldview of the initial period of civilization naturally participated in the shaping of her own thinking.

Cassandra therefore began to pray to Zeus non-stop. Considering that it was very close to Athens, she also prayed many times to Athena.

"Are these monsters escaped from Tartarus? Hades didn't take a good look at them?"

By the end, Kassandra had even refused to refer to them by human pronouns.

"Does this blood really matter?"

She also cautiously asked Lan En again and again if it would be okay if there was blood on her hands.

Lan En's answer to this was also very direct.

In the dark and cold cave, the clear silver light belonging to the Lake Lady's Sword flashed across the blood-stained hoarfrost ground.

With a click, a huge bear's paw was cut off from the dead Ares believer.

Lann picked up the bear paw with the tip of his knife and held it in front of Cassandra.

"This brown bear is about five years old." Lan En said with a smile, "If you want to eat bear paws, that's no problem."

"No, I'd rather you give me some bread and pickled olives."

Cassandra said as she put a finger on the blade of the Lake Lady's Sword with an expressionless face and pushed the bear's paw away.

After dismissing the demon hunter who was still joking, Cassandra turned her head away from looking at the corpses on the ground that she had never seen before.

"We made a lot of noise, but that Harpalos you are talking about...did his ears break? Or does he not care about his men at all?"

"I think it's the latter possibility." Lan En shook off the bear's paw on the tip of the knife and said in a rational tone after the joke.

"He already showed arrogance on that clue note. People who think they have received divine favor may not regard their mortal subordinates as companions." "And you think the people in these caves Are the bones just the victims they kidnapped?"

The boots with external armor plates crushed a human tibia scattered on the ground with a 'click' sound.

The broken bones jumped on the frozen ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

"He must have had victims in the early stages of making these things, and the beasts that he went out to capture as raw materials would also die. Obviously, Harpalos doesn't care about them."

"Then let's take a look." Kassandra flicked it, and the sticky plasma and bloody hair on the broken spear were thrown off.

The two of them looked at a cavity in the deepest part of the cave.

Cassandra has a radar-like perception ability, which she calls [Athena's Sight].Even targets that Icarus has not discovered can be revealed by this sense.

In [Athena's Vision], that cavity is the deepest part of the cave.

And there was a quiet person sitting inside.

Lan En and Cassandra did not try to cover up their steps, but walked directly into the cave cavity.

An even greater coldness overflows in this cavity. It can even be said that the abnormal temperature of the entire cave comes from here.

There is no longer a thin layer of white frost on the ground and stone walls, but ice!
A few candles and braziers lit the place.

Harpalos knelt down in front of a statue of Ares that was more than five meters high with its base.

I don’t know where they found this statue or how they moved it here.

Nowadays, the tall and majestic statue of Ares is covered with blood, hair, broken bones and other dirty things.

It was as if someone was carrying out massacres one after another in front of the statue.

Harpalos heard footsteps behind him, and it seemed like he knew who was coming.

But he still knelt on the ground and muttered a hymn about Ares before standing up and facing Lan En and Cassandra.

This is a bald man. His upper body, chest and face are painted with bone-white paint like most Ares believers.

He wears simple armor decorated with small human bone parts.

At first glance, he looks no different from any Ares believer.

But at his feet behind him, there was a corpse with the upper body of a wolf and the lower body of a human, which made people feel chilling.

"Deimos' sister, [Falcon Tamer] Kassandra. Hello to the demigods who emerged from Kefalonia."

Harpalos's eyeballs were bloodshot and stood out like a fish on land.

But unexpectedly, his verbal behavior was actually quite reasonable.

"I'm glad you know our names, although I never considered myself a 'demigod'."

Lan En stared at the other person closely and spoke. His high body temperature made him see a big cloud of white mist when he opened his mouth in this environment.

"But I heard that you are a member of a branch called the 'Blood Worshipers' in the Cult of Kosmos. What? Why don't you show it when you meet a noble bloodline? Although I am not, Cassandra is in your system He must indeed have noble blood, right?”

"That's right." Harpalos grinned and admitted happily.

But in action, he remained motionless.
