Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1205 1187. Half Spirit

Lincoln, who had just stabbed two fog monsters to death in a charge, controlled the reins and turned his head towards the hill far away from the battlefield.

There, the glow of chaos magic in the sorceress's hands grew brighter and brighter.

They are still maintaining the transmission of the power of the typhoon at sea to suppress the stubbornly growing white fog.

The Ash Knights knew who they were, after all, Triss had actually followed the Ash Knights back into the Pontar Valley.

Only then did he use the conical crystal as an anchor point to communicate with Aretuza and let Tishaya teleport over first.

The magical environment and terrain in the Mahakam Mountains are complex. If you just focus on using short-distance teleportation, it would be like seeking death.

The chances of getting stuck in the rocks are too great.

The wind with the smell of the sea swept across the mountains. The Embers Knights were all from the coastal country of Cintra, so they were not unaccustomed to the current weather.

The broken wood splinters, sawdust and leaves were spinning in the wind, and the 'crackling' sound that collided with each other continued.

The hair sticking out from under their helmets was fluttering, as was the manes of the horses beneath their crotch.

And not far away. "Bang!!!"

The earth is shaking!

The huge Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly raised one of its two hind legs, and the weight of its entire body was pressed on the bulging leg.

The muscular body that was swollen and huge also tilted.

Next, take advantage of the height difference caused by lifting your legs.

The strength of the entire leg and the weight of half the body were fully released in one stomp!
Like the explosion of a thunderstorm, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's claws stomped directly into the rock bed of the mountain!

The bedrock was first compressed underground, causing an abnormally small but high-intensity vibration within a radius of twenty meters.

Even pieces of gravel as big as a person were bounced up like pebbles!
Then, the bedrock itself was completely unable to withstand the body and strength of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and was directly crushed!

There was a dull "crackling" sound beneath the ground.

Lan En, who had already run to the only support point of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, wanted to weaken its mobility under its feet. However, when he suddenly stood up and stomped his feet, he did not suffer a devastating impact even with the help of the [Iron Mountain Backer].

But he also unloaded the force and pushed himself flying.

Lan En was knocked flying, and his feet, which were wearing leather boots with steel armor plates, rubbed violently on the ground.

It crushed a lot of plant branches and tree trunks along the way, and finally stopped with a dull 'bang' as it hit a large rock that was lifted up from the mountain by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The demon hunter himself did not show any sign of being caught off guard.

The moment he stopped, red light suddenly flashed on his body and sword!
Light red fighting spirit explodes!

The blade of the greatsword that was dragged on the ground in front of him was kicked hard from bottom to top!
There was also a condensed air hammer on the instep.

【Xianfengjiao】!
The fierce kick from the leg gave the stationary [Muddy Stream·Destruction] a powerful initial velocity, and then Lan En's own taut waist and back muscles suddenly contracted!

He went from leaning forward with the sword in hand to leaning backward.

During this process, the dark sword drew a shadow from bottom to top in front of Lan En, leaving a dark and white-edged shadow of a fan.

"Bang!!!"

This upward slash just happened to hit the terrifying jaw of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was chasing and biting at it from bottom to top!
The power of the sword crushed the opponent's jagged teeth that were exposed through the skin and flesh, and directly knocked the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head as big as a house to one side!
The sticky acidic saliva of the Devil's Dragon also splashed out like being punched, and was blown further away by the strong wind that smelled of the sea.

A small spot of the mess fell on Lan En's face.

There was a hissing sound accompanied by white smoke; it was the sound of flesh and blood being corroded by acid and the protein rapidly denaturing.

Lan En didn't even blink, and used his thumb to wipe away the acidic saliva of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on his face.

The skin and flesh that had been corroded and deteriorated by the acid had lost its toughness and was torn apart during the wiping process.

The [tendon coil] that looked like a layer of steel cables was revealed under the skin.

The 'sizzling' sound was heard again, but this time it was because the wound on Lan En's face was healing rapidly.

[Belisarius Furnace] is releasing the super-fast recovery substances it has stored.

During the battle, both Lan and the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body temperatures were rising rapidly.

In the typhoon coming from the sea, wisps of hot white smoke began to emerge from their bodies, and then were blown away by the wind and disappeared.

On the other hand, as both sides were recovering from their injuries quickly and their body temperatures rose due to the increased metabolic rate, they were both hungry!
"My Lord! I'm here!"

Lincoln rode his horse cautiously but bravely, wandering outside the battle area between Lan and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, shouting inside.

"What do you need me to say to the ladies? Any intel on this thing?"

"That's it, Lincoln." Lan En responded in an orderly manner, and at the same time he did not dare to take his eyes away from the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex opposite him for a moment.

Lan En could feel that the other party was approaching a certain physiological limit.

But after the Tyrannosaurus Rex crossed this limit, Lan En was not optimistic about whether it would have a good or bad impact on the battle situation.

So even though he was still fighting fiercely with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

"We can't handle this thing without the help of a sorceress!"

"Please continue!" Lincoln controlled the reins and adjusted the position of the horse in a tense moment, while shouting in the wind, "I will convey all of them!"

Lane was reassured by this because Lincoln's cautious and thoughtful character was what he liked.

"It's not a 'creature' now, Lincoln! At least not completely! You didn't see any footprints did you!"

"It may be cursed now! Or maybe it's something else! Anyway, this Tyrannosaurus Rex is now in a 'semi-spiritual' state!"

Lincoln, who was wandering on the edge of the core battlefield, opened his mouth unconsciously.

The howling wind turned the destroyed and shattered site into a mess.

And as the battle continued, the sky had completely darkened.

If the moon was not so bright and huge tonight, it would have been a doomsday scene with the sky dark and the earth gloomy.

In the storm of doomsday, a gigantic monster that has never appeared in any epic or myth, but is no less powerful than the demons in any epic or myth, destroys everything with its violent momentum of swallowing up the sky and the earth.

If there was a warrior from the Skellige Islands here, he would have no doubt: now is the time for the golden rooster Campby to crow and wake up the great hero Hemdall to stand on the Rainbow Bridge and greet the Doomsday War with the heroes in Valhalla.

But Lan En told him that this monster was a "half-spirit"?
It's not like Lincoln had never seen a demon before. Back then, the land of Cintra was in a state of misery due to the vortex of war. The entire village was wiped out, and only the demons were left lingering around. He had seen it several times when he passed by.

But are those weird, light, weightless things the same thing as the monster in front of me? !
Lan knew Lincoln would be surprised, after all, he was also surprised when he confirmed this idea.

But he also knew that Lincoln would still repeat his words word for word.

"The Fog Demon and the Devil's Dragon are forcibly tied together by a curse! They are connected to each other!"

"I haven't seen any further manifestations of this curse, but if we don't deal with this curse first, we can't deal with it!"

The demon hunter flashed and turned into green smoke, suddenly accelerating to escape from the range of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail swing, still shouting.

"This guy must have eaten a group of fog monsters in a place that looked like a magical place when he just came from the celestial intersection! He was entangled by the curse! His body was corroded and transformed into this state!"

"Tell them the news and see if they can do anything!"

The body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him was not normal at all. Lan En knew it the moment he saw it.

This Tyrannosaurus has eaten one-fifth of the creatures in the Mahakam Mountains, but it has never left any trace of life in those places.

There were no footprints, no old scales that were occasionally scratched off, and no remnants of fallen or worn teeth from its rapidly changing mouth.

There was nothing, not even a smell.

Because it is no longer a "living organism", it is of course impossible to leave any traces of a living organism.

Even if we let the guide insects in the New World track it, it is estimated that they will not be able to sense any pheromones.

Curse, this power highlights the disorder and twisted nature of chaos magic.

It manifests itself in various forms, twisting the cursed into another life form, which is a very common type.

For example, werewolves are a type of cursed being, and there is also Baron Cormorant, who Lan and Geralt once rescued.

A blasphemy, a word spoken from the heart in a magical place, a mischief inflicted by an unknown creature, a small detail may be enough to construct a 'curse'.

Judging from the ecological habits of Tyrannosaurus Rex and the interactions between these fog monsters and Tyrannosaurus Rex, Lan En's guess is very reasonable.

Mist monsters also prefer to stay in places full of magic, such as magical places. When they gather in groups, they are eaten up by the suddenly appearing Tyrannosaurus Rex. The large amount of accumulated death and emotional fluctuations trigger the magic power and form a curse.

Although demon hunters often destroy monster nests and hunt monsters in places with abundant magic power.

But the demon hunters are usually very "clean" when they act, after all, they are experts in removing curses. They know what to do and what not to do.

There are reasons for everything, from preparation beforehand to finishing afterwards.

For most serious demon hunters, caution has become an instinct in this regard.

So even though they make a living by hunting monsters, demon hunters themselves are not easily cursed.

But the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Lan En suspected that when the Tyrannosaurus Rex ate all the fog monsters, it might have plowed the land filled with magic power as well and then ate it into its stomach.
