Chapter 1318 1290. Weird

Although Maria had never seen the previous scene where Lan En and Ludwig were fighting, she was also an old hunter who had made a name for herself in Yanan.

The beasts of Yharnam are strange and dangerous.

As long as you are a hunter, you should know why hunters adhere to a high-speed and fast fighting style, and still do so to this day.

Because when faced with those beasts that have become distorted into various shapes, being exposed to any of their attacks is an unknown risk.

After all, no one knows what these disastrous beasts carry in their bodies and what power they have.

No one dared to take a gamble on Ludwig who had degenerated into a beast.

Maria reappeared like blue smoke, already in front of Ludwig.

[The First Hunter of the Church] has become a deformed beast, and the spray from the round mouthparts on its neck can last for a period of time.

As it shakes its head, the liquid from where it sprays out can basically cover a fan-shaped area in front of it.

Under the three-cornered hat with swan feathers, Maria's blood-red eyes were calm and cautious.

The trajectory of the spitting was chasing Lan En. It seemed that in the brief battle before, this foreigner had indeed suffered a lot for Ludwig.

In other words, Ludwig's beastly body suffered.

Although Maria was already on the battlefield, she still didn't want to believe that the glorious hunter had become like this.

In Maria's eyes, Ludwig's glorious spirit had gone far away, and what was left was just the residue sunken into lycanthropy.

"Crack!"

[Falling Leaves] On the long sword, in a burst of sparks from the mechanism, the double-headed sword decomposed into two swords, one long and one short.

Maria's smooth and swift movements caused the one-shoulder cloak behind her to flutter amidst the splashes of blood and the sound of wind.

The blood-red lining of the one-shoulder cape complements the blood, making it alluring and poignant.

There was a soft sound of "whoosh".

Maria's [Acceleration Technique] appears light and elegant compared to Lan En.

[Falling Leaves], two knives, one long and one short, danced accurately on both hands.

The firearms crafted by Cainhurst had been put away by Maria. Facing Ludwig's body, even a blood noble like her didn't think she had much advantage in terms of blood quality.

Without the advantage of blood quality, the role of firearms would be too weak against the beasts of Yanan.

"Stab it!"

The slender, dark long sword and the sharp and tough short sword slashed at the deformed body covered with black hair.

Maria has good physical strength, and coupled with her speed, it stands to reason that this knife can cut through even rock slabs!

But faced with Ludwig's animalized body.

She did cut off part of it, but the result was not ideal.

"Yeah!!"

On the head that still had the outline of a human face, Ludwig's mouth came out with a painful neighing sound like the broken throat of an injured horse.

But the eyeballs and mouthparts that really control the body were unmoved.

The blade of [Falling Leaf], in Maria's hand, made a long incision from the upper abdomen of Ludwig's deformed horse-shaped body directly to the outside of the thigh!

Although Ludwig's body looks thin and weird due to the influence of lycanthropy, it is actually many times tougher and stronger than in his human state.

Maria's knife was long enough to cut through rock slabs, but the wound left on her body was only half a meter deep.

The half-meter-deep knife edge could easily cut a person in half from the thickest torso of a normal person.

But at this time, Ludwig's body didn't even have his internal organs exposed!

Even an experienced hunter like Maria couldn't help but shrink her blood-red eyes when faced with the scars she caused after making this slash.

The large gap from the upper abdomen to the lower abdomen should have been a place where the intestines and organs are concentrated.

From her open mouth, the sticky stench of organs did come out.

But excluding the stench, there were no organs in the wound!

"Huaji~"

A dense, sticky sliding sound came from the incision that Maria had just opened.

The blood noble's face tightened, and the spiral wind wrapped around her legs immediately took her to a slightly farther position.

-Because inside that long and scary blade, under the muscles cut apart by the blade, there are densely packed eyeballs!

Just like the lining of the mouthparts on Ludwig's neck!

As if they were buried deep in the muscles and finally came to light due to Maria's knife, they all looked at her.

But at the same time, the thick and smelly blood stretched into threads on both sides of the open wound.

Like suturing, the wound is closing rapidly, making the sound of muscles being squeezed out.

Until the last moment when the wound quickly closed, Maria could see the inside of the wound, and the densely packed eyes were turning, looking at her under the gradually closing shadows.

Very weird and disgusting.

But it can't scare an old hunter from Yanan.

"Bang!"

Maria's knife drew the attention originally aimed at Lan En.

On the back half of Ludwig's horse-shaped body, the seven or eight horse legs that grew randomly began to kick wildly.

Each horse hoof originally seemed to be hanging limply on Ludwig's body, like a piece of flesh that only looked like a horse hoof.

But when they started kicking, the force of each horse's hoof was shaking the air. Even if the kick didn't hit the ground in mid-air, there would be a dull and violent "bang bang" sound.

There are also obvious white air waves formed after the air is driven and compressed.

Maria's long leather boots danced neatly in the blood pool, and her blood-red eyes under her three-cornered hat calmly watched the horse's hooves wreak havoc on the spot she was standing on just now. On the other hand, Ludwig was swinging his horse-shaped hind body to randomly kick Maria who had hurt him.

The huntress who was born in the blood noble family suddenly heard an even more shrill scream coming from Ludwig's mouth after methodically avoiding it.

"Ang!!"

As he roared like an injured mad horse, Maria could only see Ludwig's front body with two animal claws on the ground, and his rear body kicking around suddenly collapsed.

It was as if its front paws, which were supporting the ground, were suddenly cut short and it lost its balance.

Under the influence of the lycanthropy disease, his body suddenly became countless times heavier, and even made a muffled sound when he fell into the blood pool!

This should be the impact caused by Lan En during the short period of time when he attracted attention.

Maria thought calmly and cautiously.

Although they have not been working together for a long time, both of them recognized and affirmed the other's level as a combatant.

They all believe that as long as they create a gap, the other party will definitely be able to seize the opportunity.

And the current situation also proves that their mutual recognition is correct.

Half of the claws of the beast hit Ludwig from mid-air into the pool of blood with a 'snap' sound.

However, half of Ludwig's paw hit the blood pool, causing a small wave.

But when its whole body hit the blood pool so heavily, it was very unusual that there was no blood splash.

It was as if the blood that should have been blown away and sputtered was suppressed by something invisible.

Maria originally wanted to take advantage of Ludwig's fall to the ground and use a high-speed dodge to close the distance and attack.

At this moment, she only felt her breathing stagnant, and then she subconsciously stopped her movements, but immediately dodged back at high speed!

Amidst the swaying sound of the one-shoulder cloak, blood-red eyes looked at the area in confusion.

‘The pressure is too heavy! Is it some kind of [arcane]? ’

Maria guessed based on Yanan's local perspective and experience.

But this perspective and experience are too limiting.

This is not [Arcane], but [Swordsmanship]!

The demon hunter directly in front of Ludwig was squatting in a low position.

And the gauntlet with dragon scales on the outside was retracting the last inch of Alondette's blade into the scabbard.

Under the heavy air pressure, the leaf spring in the scabbard bounced with a crisp 'click' sound.

The sound was not loud, but it seemed quite abrupt at this time, and it was like a switch.

After this small crisp sound

"La la!"*N

The intensive sound of cutting blades suddenly exploded! And travel back and forth within a limited area!

Sharp white lines composed of dense airflow criss-crossed the entire space!

[Secret · One Heart]!

These large amounts of high-pressure airflow blades have even caused cliff-like air pressure instability in the entire area. The air is like glass or water, refracting light at random.

"Ang!!"

Ludwig, half of his face pressed into the pool, let out a shrill scream.

On its deformed body, dense patches of blood mist burst out!

It looked like he was drowned in blood bursting from the inside out.

Maria looked seriously at the area cut out by [Sword Skill] not far away.

She marveled at the demon hunter's sword skills, which were as superb as [arcane magic], but at the same time, she also knew clearly based on her previous attack experience that this attack would probably have little effect.

really.

The next moment, Ludwig, who had fallen to the ground, waved his claws while lying on the ground before he could stand up.

Its claws clinging to the ground brought down a rain of blood like a wave.

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

That claw, which was about the same size as Lan En's entire body, swatted him away!

The direction is exactly on Maria's side.

The blood noble was about to help, but he immediately saw that although the stranger was shot away, he seemed to be ready for an impact the moment he was hit.

The heavy armor all over his body, as well as his reasonable posture to receive force, made Lan En feel like he was being 'pushed over' rather than being 'knocked over'.

Amidst the sound of the armor opening and closing, Lan En stepped on the bottom of the blood pool with his feet beside Maria, causing a wave of blood to stop.

The left hand he used to block Ludwig's claw was originally blocking the side of his head.

Now slowly put it down, clenching and unclenching amidst the opening and closing sounds of the gauntlet. After relaxing for a while, it seemed like nothing was wrong.

But Maria thought he was a little strange.

Because she was not injured after being knocked away from such a distance, she could temporarily understand the advantage of wearing heavy armor.

But now Lan En's eyes and expression showed neither the distress and anxiety of an ineffective attack, nor the urgency of facing a dangerous enemy, and he didn't even look at Ludwig who was getting up for the first time.

He just looked at the gracefully curved long knife in his hand with thoughtful eyes.

"Can't you use the [Light of the Twin Holy Trees]?"

Maria heard the witcher whispering something to himself, and then refuted it herself.

"Isn't it that I subconsciously don't use it?"
