Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 889 871. Step to ride (3000)

Putting aside the abnormal phenomena observed by Archbishop Louis, Lan had to admit that these church knights were indeed very capable.

It is indeed a knighthood that can be awarded the personal coat of arms of King Osroais.

The profound bishops who were in the area where the giant fell to the sky were like a piece of eggs under a stone when faced with this scene.

Those who run fast can naturally escape from the crushing range.

But if you run slowly, you can only make the muffled sound of bones being crushed in the flesh and blood from the giant's fallen body, and the 'puff' sound of the broken bones piercing the flesh and blood spurting out after being crushed to the extreme. .

In this world, giants are slaves. Their bodies seemed to have formed a thick layer of cyan dead skin due to years of fatigue and dirt.

After being knocked upside down by Lan En, the giant's entire back was dyed a deep blood red that was almost black.

But what about the church knights who were still climbing up the giant?
"Pfft."

The heavy and strong body was unconsciously lifted up by the church knights underneath it.

When facing an opponent of the same size as himself, Lan En couldn't help but wonder if these knights had not fought against opponents of the same size before using this strategy in the first attack.

They carried a large sword on their shoulders, but were otherwise unarmed.

Even if they have been corrupted and distorted by the profound faith, the church knights will still enter the death arena without saying a word.

The friction sound between the broad chain mail lining and the plate armor outer cover became more rapid. The leading knight with the great sword, the armor parts on his body were clattering due to the rapid footsteps before engaging the enemy.

These church knights may be following the same combat philosophy as Lan En: crushing targets with exploding heavy weapons.

This is a diagonal chop with a low target. The movement is very standard, even standard to rigid.

And now, these silent and tall knights are stepping out from under the giant's corpse.

If this hammer were placed in the hands of ordinary people, it would probably take all the strength just to lift it.

The cavalier with the big sword was the first to approach. The big sword slashed downwards from the right shoulder to the left waist.

The width of the big sword was fifty centimeters, and the overall length was basically the same as the height of the church knight's chin.

Then he climbed up again and approached the demon hunter on top of the giant!

[turbid current·annihilation] was pulled out from the giant's head.

The knight, who was like an iron tower, silently raised the giant limb that was pressing on him and walked out from below.

The other type is the sword knight.

The gluttony of the Nergigante on this sword still lingers on the nourishment of flesh and blood on the corpse, and the black mist-like dragon energy is connected to the huge wound on the corpse's head.

The knights of this world are accustomed to fighting in silence.

One is the Shield and Hammer Knight, who holds a thick tower shield that is larger than an ordinary person's front area, and is paired with a hundred-page hammer with a hammer head the size of a human head and a length of one and a half meters.

But in the hands of the church knights, this is a one-handed war hammer that fits the hand.

It was like a tiger licking the bits of meat off the bones with its tongue.

Judging from their similar size to Lan En, they should be over two meters long.

These church knights generally have two equipment systems.

The demon hunter just took a slight step back, then raised his right foot in front of him, and then a diagonal slash aimed at a low body passed under his foot.

Judging from Lan En's current swordsmanship skills, he would hardly make any inefficient movements during sword fights.

Dodge will basically become a prelude to attack.

As he raised his front leg, the [Turbid Current·Destruction] in his hand was also raised to the top of his head.

Stomping the feet to enhance the power of the downward slash is the technical characteristic of [Ashi Mingryu·One-Sided Slash].

Perfect for now!
"Oh!"

First there was the astonishing sound of stomping feet!

The solid stone ground has been stamped out by Lan En's feet, creating a spiderweb-like depression!

Then the sword blade follows!

"Boom~"

The unique structure inside the giant sword makes the collision sound of [turbidity current and destruction] uniquely identifiable.

But this time the collision was unusually loud, not even as loud as the stomping just now.

Lan En opened his eyes slightly in surprise and looked at the church knight in front of him.

This knight is a bit interesting.

Lan En's sword is larger and stronger than that of the Church Knight.

The overall length of the cathedral knight's greatsword only reached their chin, but if Lan En's great sword wanted to stand upright with his hand on the hilt, Lan En's hand would have to be raised to his head.

Just when Lan En was about to chop down [Turbid Current: Destruction], he found that the church knight had already followed the inertia of the sword that he had just chopped down.

Adjusted his position to the side.

Face Lan En with your shoulder.

And immediately used a shoulder collision, trying to close the distance with the demon hunter and distort his posture.

From sword swing to shoulder collision, it is difficult to connect such a fast and smooth movement. This knight is not a temporary change of tactics, this is his planned strategy from beginning to end!

Slashing is a feint attack, and shoulder collision is used to disrupt the enemy's posture and shorten the distance between us and the enemy. If the shoulder collision is successful, it will be followed by another fatal slash!

But he obviously didn't expect that Lan En's sword skills with the giant sword could be so smooth, and his avoidance and attack were completely connected.

Different from the smoothness caused by his tactical planning, this is a real technical level that is high enough!
So this shoulder collision, which was originally used to disrupt the enemy's rhythm, is now used to attack instead of defend.

Close the distance with a shoulder collision, get out of the way of the terrifying and most lethal front blade of [Turbid Current·Destruction], and head towards the hilt, where the power is greatly reduced.

And at the end, when the bone-white blade of the giant sword struck the church knight's shoulder armor, the guy made a stance similar to a lunge.

This gesture seemed to carry some supernatural power, weakening Lan En's slashing effect again.

That's why the clash of sword blades was so slight this time.

After Lan En's moves were forced to go wrong, it was the Church Knight's turn.

[Lung Step] is indeed a sword skill posture that can trigger power through movement, greatly improving the stability of one's body posture in a short period of time.

Once the posture is stable, the damage the enemy can cause will naturally be less.

What follows is the linking move of the Church Knights after [Arrow Step].

After the Church Knight suddenly lunged forward with an [Arrow], the cat-like pupils in Lan En's eyes shrank slightly.

Because he saw that the enemy's movements after this posture could actually bring about an afterimage.

That is not a visual deviation caused by too fast speed, but a genuine image residue with illusory texture.

The image remained, causing the Church Knight's movements to leave a white trail that was only half a beat slower in mid-air.

There is no doubt that this is the supernatural.

Lan En didn't know if the afterimage itself was the effect of this supernatural power he was currently unaware of, or if it was the activation characteristic of this supernatural power.

But he didn't want to gamble. In fact, there was no need to gamble.

The magic ring on his hand sensed.

His guys have arrived!

"Xilulu!"

A war horse neighed, accompanied by the strong electric field of the New World Ancient Dragon [Fantasy Beast], appearing in the hall of the Netherworld Church!
The blue and white noble horse can walk on flat ground in the primitive and peculiar New World, and a neat building like the Deep Church is truly "flat ground" to it.

"Stab!"

An explosion accompanied by the roar of electricity briefly caused the tinnitus of all normal people in the hall.

The pure white rune silk cloth fluttered in the air, and the unicorn with lightning flashed directly through the blockade of a group of deep bishops and came behind Lan En!

The witcher didn't even look at him. He was familiar enough with his friend that he could even communicate mentally.

Lan En's arm just grabbed back and naturally grabbed Qilin's pale mane.

The body of the New World Ancient Dragon immediately activated.

Its speed is much faster than the sword swing of the church knight in front of me!
In almost the blink of an eye, Lan En, who was pulling on the unicorn's mane, was completely out of the attack range of the church knight.

It doesn’t matter what kind of supernatural power you have, if it can’t hit you, it won’t hit you.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry lies here. Only those who can overcome it can be qualified to speak.

That Church Knight's connecting move is really powerful.

After he lowered his body through the [arrow step], he twisted the big sword through his wrist and waist, and swung it in two full circles in the horizontal direction!
The illusive white afterimage was just like a big windmill.

With the whistling sound of the big sword, Lan En felt that if he was still within the attack range, although he still had many ways to avoid being injured, there was a high probability that he would be cut away directly!

But now after riding Qilin, he has too many choices.

Qilin's hooves clicked in the hall, and Lan was still half standing on the ground as he pulled his mane away.

In the blink of an eye, Lan En had already climbed onto his horse.

And after the church knight swung the sword twice, Qilin used its tough and powerful ancient dragon body to instantly turn around and speed up to rush over!
This set of extremely fast turns will make even a monster with weak joints in the New World cripple its ankles in the first trip, and it will take several days of rest to recover.

But for ancient dragons, especially the ancient dragon species like Qilin, which are very good at running, this is just a daily walk.

Before the church knight could react, Lan En was sitting on Qilin's back, and the sword on his back was already resting on his shoulder armor.

"it's a pity"

Lan En smacked his mouth.

"If it were normal times, I would definitely have a good showdown with you."

The cathedral knight with the great sword had just raised his iron bucket-like helmet amidst the slight collision of armor, and then
"Bang!!!"

The highly recognizable sound of the collision echoed throughout the church hall, almost giving people the illusion that the church bell on the roof had been smashed down.

And the great sword of the Church Knight, who had shown outstanding performance just now, was slanted from his shoulder to his chest.

A ferocious, wide, transparent gap from front to back has appeared on his tall and strong body!

The giant sword with the momentum of a unicorn almost chopped off half of his body!
Blood spurted upward from the gap, like a fountain.
