Chapter 1315 1287. Mouthparts and Eyeballs
When Lan En, Maria and Henrik separated, it didn't actually take much time.
They just stopped by the research center to take a look.
Because both Maria and Lan En know very well that hope no longer exists.
Gray blood disease was originally a troublesome plague. The Healing Church Research Hall, which was originally considered by Maria as the 'way to salvation', also showed its truest undertones under Lan En's exposure.
The research hall is not studying how to defeat the plague at all, but hopes to gain more profound knowledge through this strange plague pathology.
They are eager to make patients infected with the disease more deeply and with more variations, so as to show more complex disease manifestations as a basis for research.
The treatment of gray blood disease has made no progress at all under the purpose of this research.
Maria insisted on taking another look. In fact, she just wanted to give up.
It is precisely because this process does not take too long that Lan En goes with her.
This female hunter who was born into the Blood Nobles, her current mental state seemed really not right to Lan En.
After witnessing the truth of the research hall and the hunter's beast transformation, he returned to Yanan and happened to see the spreading sea of fire.
Now, Maria often loses sight of the burning buildings on the road, and at the same time, her hands that should be steady and precise can't stop shaking.
Every time Lan En had to intervene before she could break free.
In this mental state, Lan En wouldn't be surprised if she committed suicide.
After all, what she witnessed today undoubtedly destroyed many of the things she believed in before.
But Lan En didn't want such a sassy and capable huntress with a good heart to just disappear into the burning old Yharnam.
On the one hand, Maria is indeed a powerful hunter, with skilled skills and powerful blood. Lan En's next goal will require such a powerful helper.
On the other hand, in Yanan, Lan En rarely saw a hunter who cared about other people out of sincerity.
The trust those patients had in Maria was commendable.
Therefore, the demon hunter was willing to take extra time to accompany Maria to the research hall now that time was running out.
But now it seems that Lan En's decision is very correct.
"Are you still clear about it? What has become of you now?"
The boots with white dragon scales on the outside were swimming in the sticky blood pool.
There was a "crash" sound that smelled of blood, and there was a slight collision between the armor plates.
Lan En's body was already stained with a lot of blood.
The smelly and sticky blood was dripping from the edge of the skirt armor made of Smaug dragon skin.
The demon hunter paced cautiously and asked questions to the 'thing' blocking the road to Church Town.
He could vaguely see that that 'thing' might not long ago have been Ludwig, who was proudly called the "First Hunter of the Church" by the Yharnam people.
But now
"Huh~"
Ludwig was so confused that he didn't feel that he had opened his mouth to breathe, but a smelly air flow did come from a very close breath, from the right side of his face, which was still twitching involuntarily. Blown over.
What is this man in front of me talking about?
And in the next moment.
"Bang!"
In addition to the blood splashing in the blood pool due to the sudden movement of the footsteps, a mercury bullet also suddenly cut through the air and hit Lan En's original foothold!
Holding the exclusive firearm made for Ludwig by the Healing Church, the thing's hand seemed to be swaying uncontrollably, but Lan En noticed it from the beginning.
Although the arm was swaying, the palm holding the weapon never let go!
Although lycanthropy will cause patients to mutate their limbs and lose their thinking, in the early stages of the disease, these patients will still use their normal tools.
Such as pitchforks, torches, and firearms.
As for Ludwig's body, although the symptoms of lycanthropy he is currently showing are not commensurate with the common phenomenon in Yharnam, on the contrary, the deformed limbs with eyeballs and a big mouth are more like the variation of marine life in the small fishing village.
But there is no doubt that he has practiced hunting skills to the core!
Even though this body is no longer under his control, he is still a skilled hunter!
The Demon Hunter's heavy armor combined with his own weight gave him a fierce and violent feeling even in his swift movements.
After suddenly dodging sideways, Lan En quickly changed his center of gravity and stopped immediately in a very short moment.
Then switch the direction of movement and rush forward!
The sudden switch between emergency stop and explosive charge is a load that the demon hunter's current body can easily bear.
His strong bones, muscles, cables in tendons, and internal reinforcements treat him as if he were walking normally.
But the blood pool under his feet was different.
The rocky ground beneath the blood pool was ravaged by the reaction force of his rapid and violent stamping!
He might as well be crushed under the boots of dragon scales and skin with a 'click'!
The blood spray caused by the rock collapse was almost as high as Lan En's back.
The blood fell in a splash, and at the same time, it was splashed by Lan En's extremely fast movement!
The next breath after the gunshot sounded, the muffled sound of boots hitting the ground exploded, and Lan En was already within two meters of Ludwig's body!
At this distance, the densely packed eyeballs in the wide-open, squirming round mouth made a sticky sliding sound, and all turned in the direction of Lan En.
There was a "squeak" sound, the sharp sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air!
A ray of silver light was whipped out from Ludwig's hand like a whip!
It was a relatively normal-looking half-hand sword. In a place like Yanan where all kinds of strange-shaped weapons were used, it looked very simple.
It's just that in Ludwig's wavering hand, the sword was cut out in a way that was more similar to throwing the arm and the sword together.
But facing the long sword, the end of which was clearly drawing white lines in the air due to the force of the swing and the super quality of this body.
Lan En, who was rushing towards the sword, did not change his expression.
Because of his grasp of the distance between sword fights and his observation of the situation at the scene, he was very confident that there was no chance that this sword would touch him.
As if the sword blade swinging across in front of him didn't exist, Lan just stared at Ludwig's body opposite.
really!
While throwing out the long sword, spiral wind wrapped around the hunter's legs!
[Acceleration Technique]!
It disappeared like blue smoke and reappeared five or six meters straight back!
