Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1137 1119. Confrontation at all levels

 The risk of cheating on moves and timing in battle lies in this.

If you really deceive your opponent, it's easy to say anything, because by then the initiative will definitely be firmly in your hands.

However, if the opponent is not deceived at all, but sees through the intention and carries out accurate counterattacks, then the initiative will naturally flow to the opponent in the process.

 In battle, fighting for and controlling the initiative is an art.

 Now, this advantage is undoubtedly in Lan En’s hands!

　　The long knife originally held in his hand had returned to the scabbard at some point.

And the witcher's body also leaned forward and lowered, holding the scabbard with one hand and holding the handle of the knife with the other, like a switchblade that was about to be opened at any time.

The sharp thin line suddenly appeared in front of Lan En, making a "stabbing" sound as it cut through the air, and left a thin trail of airflow in the air.

【Ashina Cross Cut】!

This move was once used to cut off an arm of 'Shura', but now in Lan En's hands, the speed and power have skyrocketed!

 Slash directly towards the joints of the demon wolf's forelimbs!

Although Zhaoge Luyin had previously shown that he was not afraid of contact with the Sword of the Lake Lady, Lan En was confident that he could cut off half of the demon wolf in one go, even with his swordsmanship and the sharpness of the Sword of the Lake Lady. Legs!

 The first sword of the cross cut will break through the flesh and stop at the inner bones. But the second sword that follows will cut off even the bones!

 The fierce sword wind cuts everything in front of the blade.

These high-speed flowing extended airflow blades also have some characteristics because of the power of the divine weapon, the Sword of the Lake Lady.

 But before his eyes, this powerful slash was about to hit Zhaogeluin’s forelimb at the knee.

 “Dang!!”

 A circle of brilliant sparks exploded between the long knife and the sharp teeth!

 I saw the blue demon wolf twisting its neck to a weird angle, almost as if it was licking its fur.

He lowered his head, stretched his ferocious mouth behind the front legs, and then used his sharp teeth to bite Arondette, who Lan En had chopped off.

 As before, the holy long sword emitting a dim light seemed to be of no use to this evil creature.

 Neither made it suffer the pain of burning, nor did its claws become fragile.

 It seemed that Lan En had just made a completely unsuccessful attempt.

But the witcher's eyes narrowed slightly in thought.

Not only the demon hunter, Zhaoge Luyin’s humanized wolf face also showed a solemn expression for the first time.

 “Bang!”

 A blast that compressed the air!

The first time the long knife was blocked by the sharp teeth, one of Lan En's legs suddenly lifted up, then drew a full arc and kicked Zhaoge Luin's protruding nose!

【Xianfengjiao】!

 “Ouch!”

The wet nose is where the nerves are densely packed. After this kick, Zhaoge Luyin screamed almost instantly, and tears flowed out of the wolf's eyes uncontrollably.

 The kicked nose also caused runny nose and nosebleeds due to stimulation.

This is not over yet. At the same time as he raised his legs, Lan En had already taken out an alchemy bomb from the alchemy leather bag on his waist and stuffed it into the opponent's nostril.

　　【Higher Demonic Dust】!

Made with the feces of magical medieval demons as the main material, the gas that emits a strong stench is even enough to cause poisoning-like damage to monsters.

Although the alchemy bomb exploded in the relatively fragile nasal cavity, it was of no importance to Zhaoge Luyin's physical strength. It was far inferior to Lan En's [Xianfeng Kick], which was twisted with all the muscles of his body and then kicked out with superb skills. .

 But this smell is more unpleasant than anything else to Zhaogeluyin who has a keen sense of smell!

The demon wolf is no different from a wolfdog whose nose was punched at this time.

　　Its body suddenly tensed and twisted amidst the pain and the stench that reached the sky, and it began to thrash violently on the ground.

It's just a normal wolf dog's frantic beating, which at most only raises a layer of dust on the ground.

But because of Zhaogelu's strong and huge body, its sharp claws can easily cut into ferocious ravines on the wasteland, and its spine can break the rugged rocks around it with just one arch.

 During this process, the sharp teeth of the blue demon wolf finally could no longer maintain its bite, and its facial muscles became uncontrollable.

Lan En drew the knife in time and stayed away from the frantic Zhaogeluin like smoke.

 “Ah! Ouch!”

The demon wolf kept inhaling inward through its mouth, and then exhaled outward through its nose. It kept covering the bridge of its nose with its two paws.

This did have some effect. A lot of yellow-green foul-smelling gas was sprayed out from Zhaogeluin's big nostrils like smoking.

 But even more [Higher Demonic Dust] has been sucked in by it.

 Besides, this alchemy bomb was not originally intended to poison it, but just to take advantage of the stench.

 It has achieved its purpose by sending it into the nasal cavity. It does not matter whether it enters the lungs or not.

Although the foot of Crow Ridge is still a little far away from the main battlefield in the Wasteland of Smaug, it is not very far.

In addition, Zhaoge Luyin's movements when he was mad were too violent and too loud, so many people on the battlefield had noticed the demon wolf and the demon hunter. This pair of opponents bumped into each other from the mountain all the way down the mountain.

 “That’s a demon wolf?!”

Thranduil, who was riding on the stag, his silky white hair already stained with the black blood of the orcs, said with wide eyes.

Beside him, the pig-riding dwarf who looked like an iron pillar let out a loud roar.

 “The demons in the story are back to fight us! Dwarves! Attack on Hell! Attack!”

At the foot of Crow Ridge Mountain, Lan En just stood still in the chaos, and Zhaoge Luyin on the opposite side finally regained control of his body.

It was still panting and standing still, with one front paw on its nose, and a pair of eyes carefully and viciously staring at the tall human opposite. Both of their vertical pupils were staring at each other, but their expressions were different from before.

The clear silver blade subconsciously turned into a gorgeous knife flower in Lan En's hand, and the blade made a "buzzing" sound as it rotated in the air.

“You can’t actually ignore the holy light on my sword, right, Zhaogeluin?”

Lan En observed the blue demon wolf opposite. Sure enough, after he calmly finished speaking, the demon wolf's body showed a slight reaction.

Its expression became solemn, and the corners of its mouth twitched slightly, revealing its ferocious teeth.

 All this shows that Lan En is right.

“At least not the entire body can resist the light from this knife.” Seeing this, Lan En added. "If it's true, you should only have claws and teeth, so you have the ability to resist."

 Zhaoge Luyin did not respond, nor did he make any expression.

But this is originally a kind of ‘expression’.

　　When he almost succeeded in attacking Lan En just now, this guy's tone was very proud.

The witcher chuckled. This expression made the demon wolf opposite him bar his teeth fiercely, but he still didn't speak.

Lan En placed the shimmering blade in front of him, and his other hand gently brushed the back of the blade. The flexible fingertips played with the head of the long knife.

This knife is still delicate, refined and elegant.

 In fact, Lan En did not expect that the [Ashina Cross Slash] that was slashed at the crook of the demon wolf's leg just now would be blocked.

But it was not until he saw Zhao Geluin twisting his body, sticking his head down and biting it with his teeth in an awkward posture that should never appear in battle, that he was completely sure of this.

 Other parts of its body definitely still can't stand the light of Eärendil.

Otherwise, even if he adopts the most costly countermeasure, Zhaoge Luyin can still lift his leg at the last moment so that the two swords of [Ashina Cross Slash] cannot hit the same position.

 It would cause two deep wounds, but it would not cause the limb to be chopped off.

Unlike now, Lan En kicked him hard in the nose with [Xianfeng Kick] and stuffed him with a super stink bomb.

It is still having an uncontrollable runny nose, its brain is probably in a daze, and its sense of smell has been completely disabled.

 It paid such a high price just to prevent the Sword of the Lake Girl from coming into contact with other parts of its body.

 Because those parts are too fragile for the Lake Lady's Sword and are too vulnerable to "special attacks".

Zhao Geluyin forced himself to suppress his instinct and put down the paw on his nose.

 It looked at Lan En fiercely, and looked at the shimmering Sword of the Lake Lady in his hand with fear and disgust.

 “Yeah, that light makes me sick.”

 Zhao Gelu’s voice sounded muffled due to a problem with his nose.

 “But so what, Dragon Slayer?”

“I dare not touch your knife, how dare you let my claws and teeth touch you?”

The wolf's claws moved slightly on the ground, revealing the marks left by Zhaoge Luyin's frantic twisting just now.

The claw marks left on the ground and stone walls are extremely smooth.

 Lan En turned the Arondette in his hand indifferently and said nothing.

 Because what the other party said is indeed good.

 They are both a bit like glass cannons in front of each other now.

As long as the other party touches you with the right part, you will either die or be disabled.

“You might be thinking: Oh, I’m much smaller than you, I’m more flexible than you.”

Zhaoge Luyin deliberately pinched his throat and made a sound that seemed ridiculous but was actually sarcastic.

 But immediately afterwards, the demon wolf's expression became fierce and dangerous again.

 “But have you ever thought about it, Dragon Slayer Lann?”

His voice, which had been deliberately controlled, now returned to a deep and terrifying tone.

 “Why did I knock you down from the mountain?”

The ground began to shake, first slightly, and then the small pieces of gravel around Lan En's feet began to dance like a dance.

Huge shadows and movements struck from the direction of the frontal battlefield.

Lan En knew very well that the only things that could cause this movement were the four giant earth-eating worms!

After feeling that the giant earth-devouring insect was turning this way and approaching, the demon hunter looked at Zhaogeluin with clarity.

 The demon wolf laughed viciously.
