Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 619 621. Destruction
But in the end, Darkley's dry throat rolled up and down, and then he tightened his grip on his long sword.

Maybe it was because he knew he couldn't escape the witcher's pursuit, or maybe it was because he firmly believed that Lan En was bluffing and wanted to scare him away.

None of these reasons matter anymore.

In short, Darkley's eyes were red, he picked up his enchanted sword, and slowly approached Lan En.

"Ah." Lan En withdrew his extended left hand and tilted his head.

"You still chose a path that made me feel relaxed."

This is a bluff!

Darkley kept emphasizing this to himself in his mind.

I saw through him!See it through!
Now that you have chosen to take action, you must give yourself confidence and courage, even if it is false.

That's why many warriors use symbolic rituals such as war cries, tattoos, and totems.

Because mentality can greatly affect people's physical fitness, technology, and tactical thinking. A good mentality is of course much better than a negative mentality.

Big beads of sweat were already rolling down Darkley's forehead, but even if they fell into his eyeballs, he didn't dare to blink at all under the heart-piercing sting.

He just stood motionless and stared at Lan En's every move.

He should still be able to use the large twisting movement just now, otherwise the sword wouldn't be able to be swung fast at all.

Darkley's eyes glanced at Lan En's arm and the [turbid current] supported by his hand.

At this unavoidable moment, all the fighting experiences and battles in the first half of his life were desperately recalled.

These things, which can be called 'combat intelligence' to some extent, make Darkley's thinking quick and flexible.

That kind of violent swordsmanship is actually very slow, and you can only rely on anticipation if you want to hit it.

Levin didn't die from the demon hunter's powerful power, he died from his own stupidity!The fighting intentions are so easy to understand!
Darkley looked at the corpse next to Lan whose head was smashed by the enchanted shield in his hand.

He will not and cannot make such a mistake.

In the distance, the demon hunter shouldered the big and scary sword again and assumed a posture ready to attack.

Darkley's actions became more and more cautious to prevent his tactical intentions from being understood.

But just when Darkley was still more than four meters away from Lan.
The air surged with a 'whoosh' sound, and the [Turbid Current] that Lan En was originally carrying on his shoulders stirred the air.

In Darkley's horrified eyes, the black sword flew past him!
The witcher threw the sword
For a moment, Darkley's mind went blank.

This was not because he was scared, but because the development of the situation completely exceeded his expectations.

Why. How?
Combat experience, the past of fighting in the first half of his life, all of which combined to play a role in the preset tactical scene, are all based on that terrifying sword.

In this purgatory, Lan En had already done too many unforgettable things with [Turbid Current], so much so that all of Darkley's attention was tied to this dark sword.

The sound of heavy footsteps followed closely after the roar of the sword.

This was the footsteps of the witcher, and Darkley's hair suddenly stood up almost instantly!

In a state of almost survival instinct, he immediately moved sideways and used his toes to pick up the enchanted shield lying on the ground next to the corpse.

After doing all this, he had time to turn his peripheral vision in the direction of the witcher.

Lan En's speed had dropped to that of an ordinary person's jogging. At the same time, his left hand held the handle of the long knife at his waist.

Darkley immediately recalled the scene where the witcher once used this long knife to perform 'magic' and chop up many people with one knife.But he definitely won't be able to use it now. Demon hunters' magic relies on physical strength and vitality.

Darkley breathed a sigh of relief. Although all the previous tactical presets had failed a moment ago, there was no big mistake at least now.

The enchanted shield and long sword in his hand formed an extremely stable sword-shield combination, and the safety was even higher than before.

The basic physical fitness of demon hunters has become not much different from that of ordinary people. Some are even better!

Darkley was so sure of himself in his heart.

Immediately, he pressed the shield in his hand forward, preparing to deal with Lan En using the standard sword-and-shield soldier versus one-handed sword approach.

But again, a moment later
"bass!"

A short, dark, cold light burst out from Lan En's right lower back.

The light seemed to have no quality at all, and it flashed past Darkley's neck in Lan En's hand.

The dragon bone dagger made a brilliant splash on Lan En's right hand, and then was inserted back into the scabbard on his lower back.

Lan En's left hand was only holding the handle of the Lake Lady's Sword from beginning to end, and he never meant to pull it out.

"You are very brave."

Lan En stopped from jogging at the speed of an ordinary person and said with a slight breath.

"How dare you ignore a warrior - the knife I have on me?"

Lan En turned his head and looked at Darkley's back. The expression on his face explained one sentence: How dare you?
Darkley could no longer answer.

His legs and knees suddenly went weak, and he knelt down in the mud with a bang.

On his throat, there was a horizontal opening, and thick blood began to pour out of his mouth at the same time.

'Pitter-patter' flowed on the armor and finally fell to the ground.

He wanted to raise his hand to cover the wound, as if this would stop the bleeding.

But this arm could not even be raised to the height of the chest, and could only hang weakly by the leg armor.

The blood surged in his throat, making a "roaring" sound similar to thick phlegm.

Ever since [Turbid Current] was thrown out in this confrontation, Lan En's physical performance has always been at the level of an ordinary person.

But Darkley was still killed without any resistance at this 'slow' pace.

This is a triumph of tactical thinking and tempo control.

In fact, Lan En didn't know exactly what Darkley's plan was at the beginning.He was indeed cautious and showed no thoughts.

However, if I can’t guess what you are thinking, then just let you follow my lead.

Ever since Lan En decisively threw [Turbid Current], the development of things has completely turned into Lan En leading Darkley's thinking.

It wasn't Darkley who ignored the knife on Lan En.He is an experienced executioner and murderer. Of course he knows that soldiers will prepare as many secondary weapons as possible, even a dagger can be lethal.

However, due to Lan En's misleading thinking and tactical layout, his mind could no longer care about it at all.
