Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1475 1447. Attacker

Although the castle town of Iwamura Castle is not big, at least it still exists.

Farmers or small traders who grew crops outside, and caravan rest houses that brought supplies for sale and resale were all in this circle.

The caravan that rested in Jusanzakura was a local caravan from Iwamura Castle, so the man who hanged himself had a house in the castle town.

Lan En's tall figure and armor that looked like it was anything but ordinary made many people in the busy castle town focus on him.

People cowered, and although they watched, no one dared to step forward.

Fortunately, the house where the man hanged himself was located on the edge of this residential area, just a few steps away.

A single-room wooden thatched house, similar to the house where the man was placed to rest in Shisanying Village.

As soon as he approached, the demon hunter's nose twitched slightly, and then his brows immediately wrinkled!

"Bang!"

The pace quickened, and he did not directly kick the door, but the sudden opening of the door still made a loud muffled sound.

The dust on the wooden walls was shaken down.

But what happens after the door is opened

The wooden house was dim and dark, the oil lamp in the corner had been burned out, and the air was filled only with the smell of cheap and turbid soybean oil burning.

And an old woman in peasant attire was hanging from the beam of this wooden house.

I don't know if it was because of the tremor when Lan En opened the door, or some more supernatural reason.

Her body was still swaying steadily and unhurriedly.

"Shua~shua~"

Her belt fell loosely to the ground. As her body swayed, it was dragged back and forth on the ground, making the sound of the fabric rubbing against the ground.

"Meow?!"

At this time, the flannel ball also rushed between the legs of Lan En, who was holding the door, and screamed in surprise at the hanging old woman.

It’s not like Flannel Ball has never seen dead people.

But what it saw was always people who died fighting enemies or monsters in battles. It had never seen people end their own lives, whether in the new continent where it grew up or in its subsequent journeys.

In addition, the old woman's demeanor when she died was too weird.

If a normal person hangs himself, he will look like a hanged man with his tongue hanging out.

No matter Lan En or Linqiu, they wouldn't be too surprised to see this look. After all, they are both people who have experienced the battlefield.

But this old woman, her eyes were wide and round, and her expression was not even the pain of death, but like she was looking at something in front of her with resentment and grudge.

Under the messy dry hair, on the face that was strangled into black and purple, only those eyes were pale and shining!

The interior of the wooden house was dark and silent, as if even the castle town outside in broad daylight had been isolated.

The noise and sunshine outside have nothing to do with what is inside the house.

This old woman should be the mother of the man who hanged himself in Shisanying Village.

Lan En slowly walked into the house in this silent and dim atmosphere.

He looked straight into the old woman's eyes, those malicious and hateful eyes.

From the facial contours, he could see the resemblance between the old woman and the hanging man.

Apart from the chilling expression on the old woman's face, her face should be kind and kind.

The flannel ball followed Lan En into the silent wooden house.

Only the belt dragging on the ground still made a smooth and slow mopping sound.

This is not normal.

Generally, a person who hangs himself will only sway while hanging on the rope due to the movement when the feet are kicked off for the first time.

The amplitude of subsequent shaking will become smaller until it disappears and becomes a monotonously hanging corpse.

But the old woman in front of her was already dead. According to Lan En's observation, her rigor mortis was so severe that she should have died during the night.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

On the same night as her son, she hanged herself in the same way.

But until Lan En came in, the body was still shaking and the belt was still dragging on the ground.

Lan En calmly walked around the body like a pendulum to observe. He looked down at the old woman's belt.

This kind of swing and friction reminded him of the scene when he broke into his house in Jusanying Village when he helped the hanged man last night.

The brocade strip retracted from the light into the shadow, and the feeling of retracting

Isn’t it very similar to the current situation?

The brocade strips are the loose obi of the kimono, dragging left and right as the hanged person's body swings.

[Criminal Filth] seems to make the affected person choose a way to die close to the way [Criminal Filth] was generated.

Thinking of this, Lan En's eyes moved from the belt on the ground to the old woman's resentful face, and silently shook his head.

Maybe it can’t be called a ‘choice’.

Ordinary people don't have the right to choose when faced with "Remnant". Their minds are naturally frightened by supernatural means, so they will naturally be affected. Lan En sighed, and at the same time wanted to step forward and remove the old woman's body from the hanging rope.

This family may be dead, right?

With such emotion in his heart, Lan En reached out his hand. But that's about it.

"Stab it!"

A wooden door was torn apart too quickly! So much so that the sound of wood being torn apart is a bit like cloth!

Some kind of crisp and powerful weapon, accompanied by superb skills, came towards Lan En!

"The monster harmed people! Didn't they even spare the corpses?"

It was a female voice.

But obviously, this woman is very experienced, and her actions of shouting did not hinder the matter at hand at all!

Her movements were unusually fast and powerful, and the flannel ball that didn't react could almost only see a black shadow passing over his head!

But the flannel ball didn't react because it grew up in the New World, a land of benign struggle with nature, and had never seen such a hanging person.

After all, in the new world where life is high-spirited, no matter how big the problem is, it is normal to have a big meal and then regain your momentum and find a way out.

Even if you are desperate, you should challenge the enemy who gives you despair with the highest attitude, and then die with no regrets.

So from the beginning, the kitten was a little confused and sad, standing in the corner of the room with its little paws, looking at the swaying corpse.

The body of the hanged old woman may have shocked Eluma more than a battle.

But flannel ball couldn't react, but Lan En wouldn't be able to react!

The hand he originally stretched out towards the hanging body suddenly turned and dropped, directly blocking his waist on the side farther away from the attacker!

This action was extremely unusual and even illogical.

Logically speaking, even if you use arm armor to resist attacks, you should place it in front of the attacker to bear the brunt of the attack. What's going on with blocking behind?

But Lan En is not a person who will be disrupted by a surprise attack, or even become a headless fly.

He responded irrationally just because his opponent was also irrational!

That heavy, yet swift and sharp weapon that almost turned into a black shadow was a giant scythe!

"Zi!!"

A sharp friction sound that made the eardrums hurt, accompanied by a sudden flash of intense sparks!

The sickle weapon, with its crescent-shaped blade, is a special weapon that cuts in front of you but hits you in the back!

As early as in the fight with Yanan's [First Hunter] Geman, Lan En had already learned the attack mode of this weapon.

So he made a prompt decision. After using his superb observation ability to catch a glimpse of the shape of his opponent's weapon, he immediately used restraint techniques smoothly!

The crescent-shaped arc blade cuts in from the outside.

It was supposed to be a sudden cutting force, but a strong arm and a set of thick armor were stuck on the path!

After the sharp friction sound, there was not even a trace left on [Smaug]'s arm armor.

This kind of armor has poor resistance to cutting damage.

On the contrary, the blade of the visitor's giant scythe made a small 'crack' sound as the thin steel was shattered under the force of the force.

The sound of the thin steel blade being forcibly suppressed and deformed was so rapid that it was suppressed for a moment, but Lan En's hand did not stop.

A series of collision sounds and more intense sparks burst out from between the outside of [Smaug]'s arm armor and the blade of the giant scythe!

It was Lan En who was turning his wrist, trying to use the layered armor structure on his arm armor to simply lock the sickle blade and restrict the movement of the weapon.

The judgment made in a flash of lightning was indeed effective.

The sickle blade, which was so powerful just now that it turned into a black shadow when it was swung, was directly stopped by Lan En!

The attacker holding the scythe looked up in surprise.

It was only then that Lan En turned around and saw the man's appearance clearly.

The first thing that caught his eye was a scarlet evil ghost mask, and the face under the mask was that of a woman.

She was looking at Lan En with firm and resentful eyes.

Short hair, a bit like a bob. His slim figure is in sharp contrast to a guy with such big hands.

A suit of armor that seems to be made of biological materials.

It's not as thick as battlefield armor, but it's more convenient. A fur vest made of something unknown is draped over its shoulders.

The fluffy fur waistcoat made her look much more imposing.

The design concept of this armor is very similar to the school equipment of the demon hunter.

It doesn't look like it's used to deal with similar fights.

But Lan En pays more attention to these things!

"Wow~"

At a level that ordinary people can't hear or see, a soft sound of light flowing, accompanied by a dreamy shimmer, emerges and condenses from this man's shoulder!

Possessed by a spirit? !

Lan En, who had just seen something similar on Qilin and Velvet Ball, recognized it at first sight!

Will this thing show up to help in battle?

Lan En, who still didn't understand the possessed spirit body, naturally took a second look.

And that's when.

"Sir, watch your hands!"

Mentos' reminder and Lan En's own awareness of the strange feeling in his hand came to his mind almost at the same time.

He suddenly felt that his arm armor could no longer lock the sickle blade!

A 'click' sound came from the root of the sickle blade, a sound that made Lan En feel familiar.

—The sound of the mechanical structure starting up!
