Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1035 1017. Illusion
Lan En accepted the goddess's instruction in a daze and went to the other side of the rift where the heaven and earth meet to bring greetings to her friend.

Thanks to the rich experience of walking in various worlds, Lan En did not feel surprised or unbelievable.

The Lady of the Lake's power and status in the world are not low.

In a world where the celestial sphere converges frequently, whether you have received or fought against powerful individuals from outside the world, or you have been to the outside world yourself, this is considered a normal phenomenon.

It's not surprising to make friends.

But Lan En also felt that it was indeed a coincidence. After all, the number of worlds was impossible to count, and the links between the worlds were not stable, but they actually matched up.

Lan En was riding on Qilin's back, and Velvet Ball was riding on Lan En's back.

Cat's warrior heart becomes more active as he travels to a new world and faces new challenges.

Now it was like a cat and a bug, squirming excitedly on Lan En's back and purring comfortably.

Qilin's hooves lightly stepped across the crack in space, which was like a broken mirror, and walked inside.

Lan En, who was on its back, frowned and covered his forehead. The velvet ball failed to hold on due to dizziness. He slipped off Lan En's back and sat on the saddle on Qilin's back.

Lan En also heard the singing.

"Xilulu?"

A sunny meadow by the river.

Using Lan En's body as a receiver, the biological intelligence brain is rapidly establishing various environmental observation indicators.

And Lan En was not idle either. He had been squatting on the soft and fresh grass since he fell.

In mid-air, he put his hand behind his back, and the flannel ball, which was also dizzy, was pulled into his arms.

But this time it's not normal.

'Checking air quality. Checking light.'

After entering this world and stepping on the ground, Qilin's footsteps became even more messy in just a few seconds.

Qilin neighed in confusion and panic.

Lan En, Qilin, and Linbuqiu, the three of them have crossed the celestial sphere and crossed paths more than once.

Although his dizziness was getting worse, Lan En's tenacity still allowed him to complete the response in a very short time.

"Meow~" The same goes for flannel ball, and the kitten's voice was full of confusion. "What is this? Singing?"

'etc! Why am I still wandering? '

Therefore, adaptability is also gradually improving. For example, after the Kirin came out, its hooves just became a little unruly, and it was just a matter of adjusting its center of gravity by stepping forward and stepping backward.

As the flannel ball wondered, there was indeed a burst of singing coming from somewhere.

The sunlight shines down from the gaps in the woods, mixes with the sparkling light reflected by the river, and spreads out into a swaying patch of light with warmth.

There is also a huge old willow tree on the grass that has grown for who knows how many years.

"Xilulu!"

It stands to reason that this state will not last long, and they will return to normal in three or two minutes at most.

But the leisurely scenery that should have been pleasant now made them even more dizzy inexplicably.

The muffled sound of hooves trampling on the grass came out in a "bang bang" sound.

The river water makes a gentle sound, carrying fresh water vapor, and the grassland also has a comfortable grassy and earthy smell that makes people want to take a deep breath because of the nourishment of the water quality.

The leisurely and kind singing voice was still ringing from somewhere, but Lan En's reason had already started to work.

This isn't right.

Its body undulated violently due to its footsteps, so violently that even Lan En couldn't sit on its back.

The voice was old and kind, like an old man enjoying the leisure life after retirement singing.

The wide, drapey white rune cloth created waves in the air as Qilin's steps swayed left and right.

After Lan En and the others entered this world, the first thing they stepped on was a large area of ​​fresh green grass. This meadow is located on the bank of a clear river.

As soon as it tilted its body, Lan En and Velvet Ball were pushed out into the air.

A pair of amber cat eyes became deeper.

A tall, strong and beautiful ancient dragon, its body is covered with gorgeous and noble horse gear.

Not long after, the feeling under Qilin's hooves changed from erratic to solid ground.

【Spiritual Vision】!
Following the opening of [Spirit Vision], Mentos' alarm was also transmitted into Lan En's brain.

Immediately after exerting force on the core muscles of his waist and abdomen, he changed his posture in a very short time in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.

As usual, it already gave Lan En a somewhat familiar feeling.

The song fit perfectly with the situation they were currently in.

Qilin's steps were so chaotic that he looked like he was about to fall.

——This was the first sight Lan En and the others saw.

In his dazed state, he began to communicate rapidly with the Mentos in his head.

'gentlemen! This is not right! The air index does not match what you see! This is.'

"Illusion."

Lan En's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly and whispered Mentos's unfinished words.

[Spiritual Vision] See through the disguise of appearance and go straight to the reality. The gurgling water reflecting the warm sunlight disappeared and turned into a bubbling mud soup.

Underfoot is no longer the verdant green land with the pleasant smell of grass and earth, but rugged, dark land with no grass growing on it.

Strange, winding dead branches and roots sprouted from the land here and there.

The reason why Qilin has been unable to stand firmly is because its hooves are not walking on flat land at all, but stepping on a bunch of raised and knotted tree roots!
And those tree roots are still surrounding Qilin’s hooves!
"Go up and grab it, velvet ball!"

In just the blink of an eye, the situation became clear in Lan En's eyes.

He threw the Elu cat in his arms towards Qilin. Although his head was dizzy due to the intersection of the celestial sphere and the superimposed effect of illusion, the flannel ball as a warrior could still do it if he just 'grabbed' it tightly. arrive.

"It's done, it's done, meow!"

The kitten yelled and was thrown back on the Qilin's back, and its paws gripped the saddle tightly.

At this time, Lan En was worried about putting the kitten somewhere else.

Followed by "Oops!"

A sharp blade slid rapidly, and the sharp sound of cutting the air interrupted the inexplicable singing that had been coming continuously.

Clear silver light flowed out of the scabbard on Lan En's waist like mercury pouring down the ground.

The skill of [Dragon Flash] is the [Ashina Wushin Ryu] move that Lan En mastered first.

And nowadays, this move can be used by him with ease.

The sharp air blade carries the holy power of the Lake Lady's Sword, inspired from the blade.

He slid close to the ground and slid towards a pile of tree roots wrapped around Qilin's hooves.

The rotten tree roots were like dried mud, crackling and breaking apart.

"what!!!"

The voice that had just been singing a leisurely and comfortable voice suddenly erupted into a roar that was laced with pain!

That voice is no longer kind, but dull and evil!

Without looking back, Lan En seemed to have eyes on his back as he slashed a [Dragon Flash] air blade with the sword-drawing gesture.

Arondette's smooth dance left a clear fan-shaped silver shadow in mid-air, lying across the back of Lan En's neck.

This is not about looking behind the scenes, but about the combination of combat experience, eyesight and the computing power of the biological brain.

Just the moment Lan En put the weapon in place, a thick willow branch struck him on the back of the neck, as if matching his movements.

The thick willow branch trunk, which is tough and rich in moisture, looks like a whip weighing dozens of kilograms!

When an ordinary person swings a whip, the end of the whip can create a sonic boom. And when such a huge mass is thrown around, it can even make grooves out of rocks!
But for Lan En, after he 'sees it clearly', these things are not difficult to deal with.

There was a sharp sound, and a burst of light red light exploded in the palm of Alondette's hand, as well as the blade itself.

[Tachi Technique·Air Blade Slash]!
The Sword of the Lake Lady is placed in this position not for defense, but to be the first to strike at the weak point of the enemy's attack!

Lan En retracted the arm on the back of his neck just like he was dancing with swords and flowers.

And during this movement, the extended blade happened to hit the middle of the willow branch that was drawn over.

This powerful and heavy 'whip' was accurately cut off by the long knife that was pulled back with [Air Blade Slash] attached.

The severed 'whip head' grazed the back of Lan En's neck with an explosion of energy.

As long as you rub it a little bit, you can scrape off a layer of skin and flesh! Expose the [tendon coil] on the back of the neck muscles.

But it won't rub off.

It's only a little bit short, but this point has been calculated by Lan En.

"Wow!"

The gloomy and evil screams became louder, and the chopped willow branches spurted out sap like the tentacles of a creature.

The next moment, several other willow branches came towards Lan En from different directions.

But Lan En, who had already taken advantage of this opportunity to turn around, glanced around in his eyes in a very short time.

Alondette left behind a series of bright and cold silver afterimages in mid-air.

"噌"*N
Amidst the sound of sap splashing and screams, all these willow branches were cut off instantly!

Capturing the attack trajectory with both eyes, Mentos is responsible for finding angles and planning the most efficient attack trajectory.

The attacks that seemed to come at the same time were all intercepted by the cooperation.

The chopped willow branches were still in mid-air, and the sprayed sap was still spraying in the air.

After clearing away the intensive attacks in front of him, Lan En saw the first creature he met after coming to this world.

——The old willow tree.

Now, this willow tree is different from the willow tree in the illusion just now, with its branches swaying in the wind and looking relaxed and pure under the golden sparkling light.

The hardwood knobs and bark cracks on its trunk are superimposed to form an old human face.

The man's face did not look kind because of his age, but instead looked gloomy and evil.

As Lan En attacked it, the singing in its mouth stopped, and Qilin and Velvet Ball returned to their normal state very quickly.

"Are you a treant?" Lan En first glanced with his peripheral vision and saw the state of his companion next to him, and then spoke to the creature in front of him.

"How unfriendly."
