Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1300 1272. Visceral Critical Attack
The clergy in white robes only felt confused and unhappy.

They have been waiting for a long time to conduct experiments on the Blood Saint approved by the Healing Church.

Performing [blood therapy] on a person who has already suffered from gray blood disease and injecting gray blood into a saint who can directly produce sacred blood are two completely different concepts.

The clergy of the research center have long submitted an application to transfer a Blood Saint to cooperate with the research.

The church leaders sent this stupid woman here only recently.

But who knew that this stupid woman actually had a good relationship with Maria. That's why the clergy did not take action immediately, but waited until Maria went out.

This is different from Adeline, who only has the identity of "Blood Saint".

The Blood Saint is just an identity that people outside the Healing Church will revere.

There aren't many women who have the qualifications to become Blood Saints, but they aren't few either.

The church is simply distracted by many other things right now, and therefore has not been able to train the Blood Saint on a large scale.

So the clergy didn't care about Adeline's identity.

But Maria was different.

Not only is she a powerful hunter herself, she is also a student of the [First Hunter] Geman.

When she was sent to guard the research center, Archbishop Lawrence personally and privately advised her that it would be best not to let her know what the place was doing.

Now that they finally had the chance, even if Maria came back later, they would just have to say, "Adeline was transferred." If she still wanted to look for him, she could go find him herself.

The white-robed clergy have asked many people to come and watch the experimental process, wanting to record and study this valuable experiment as thoroughly as possible.

Use the entire Blood Saint! The endless supply of sacred blood is used to nourish the parasites that came from the corpse of the ancient god!

He almost trembled with excitement at the thought that he might gain more profound knowledge, or even, according to Byron Weiss's theory, gain a vision that was closer to the ancient gods.

But what's up with these idiots?

I gave them the opportunity to participate in this great experiment, but they can't even do the most basic thing of being quiet?
As he thought about it, the white-robed clergyman prepared to reprimand them first, and then push the gray blood into Adeline's veins.

As long as the call is made, it will be equivalent to the beginning of the experiment. At that time, every detail on Adeline will be precious information worthy of the greatest attention.

He didn't want to miss anything.

But just as he walked towards the door.

Silently, a dark blue dagger blade pierced through the crack in the door, and as if there was no hindrance, it cut through the bolt that was originally responsible for locking the door.

The steel mechanical structure seemed to have been passed by an illusion and showed no reaction at all.

Can be followed immediately
"Oh!"

The door of the laboratory was kicked open! The bolt that was supposed to lock the door tightly was left with only a surface that was smooth enough to be used as a mirror.

The clergy in white robes can become the managers of the research center, but they are not there to do it for free.

He had already taken out his hunter's rifle when he saw the blade of [Demon Wolf's Fang], and when the door was kicked open, he simply shot it in the head!
This reaction speed can't be said to be bad among the hunters in Yharnam.

But the hunter he was facing was not an ordinary hunter.

"Whoosh~"

Maria's [Acceleration] is more elegant than Lan's, and more in line with the combat style of Yharnam hunters.

The sound of her rapid bursts of movement was like a gust of breeze blowing past.

Green smoke flashed, and Maria easily avoided the opponent's mercury bullet with an expressionless face.

Lan En at the door simply didn't go in. He stood against the wall with his arms folded beside the door frame.

Seeing the female hunter rushing in, the white-robed clergyman felt guilty, and he also knew the other party's level.

So he simply threw away the hunter's rifle in his hand, which had been empty and needed to be reloaded, and swung up his hunter's stick.

But this move is really stupid.

After all, he was just a researcher and didn't understand the consequences of attacking indiscriminately in front of a hunter. Maria quickly "taught" him.

"Oh!"

This time it was the musket in Maria's hand, with its ornate and elaborate carvings, that fired.

Precise and cold.

The mercury bullet suddenly hit the opponent's body at the critical moment of the opponent's attack.

The sudden external impact was like the [Battle Skill·Block] in the Fire World, or the collapse of the final decisive battle in the [Ashina Style].

Completely destroy the opponent's body's original movement pattern in an instant.

In terms of power alone, it's not that great. In fact, if you just take a few seconds to catch your breath and move your body, it's almost like there's no effect.

But it's those few seconds that matter.

After firing the shot, Maria did not stop, her long leather boots firmly on the floor.

At the same time, her right hand was already showing the appearance of a 'claw attack'! "Puff!"

This is the sound of flesh being torn apart.

In that instant, the white-robed clergyman's eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets!
A large amount of blood gushed out of the body, staining the white robe red.

The leather gloves of the Yharnam hunters are very unique. The fingertips of the gloves are wrapped with iron, and this design is for the action Maria is doing now - [Visceral Critical Hit]!
Putting your hand into the other person's body is not only for the single damage of the stab, but also for
"Ouch!"

Because of the pain, the white-robed clergyman let out a roar almost like a wild beast.

Two drops of his blood splashed on Maria's face, the stark bright red contrasting with her snow-white skin.

Maria remained expressionless.

Her hands grabbed the other person's internal organs inside his body, and then she pulled it horizontally with great force!

There was a "crash" sound!
The hunter's palm expanded violently along the crack, just like the traditional Japanese cross-shaped seppuku!
A large amount of crushed internal organs flowed out together!

This whole process is the complete [Visceral Critical Attack]!
The clergyman in white robes fell on his back on the floor, and the blood that gushed out quickly formed a large pool.

The huge amount of bleeding is also the main reason why Yharnam hunters favor this technique.

Blood makes them feel comfortable.

Adeline, who was tied to a chair, screamed in fear.

But Maria, with a cold face, walked straight forward, cut all the restraints on her body with the short knife of [Falling Leaves], and dragged her out.

"Ms. Maria?" Adeline stared at the body on the ground and Maria's profile as she passed by. "You didn't go to work. You killed someone! Ms. Maria!"

"That's what he deserves!" The Blood Noble said in a low voice with an expressionless face, and kept walking. "Don't ask any more questions now, we are in a hurry!"

After going out, Maria turned around and saw Lan En waiting at the door.

"We have to take her with us! Here," the huntress said, looking at the clergy hiding in the rooms and on the stairs with dangerous and indifferent eyes, "I'm worried."

Her tone was very firm and not negotiable.

But Lan En had no intention of refusing.

"This place is indeed not suitable for staying." The demon hunter nodded. "When we get there, let Adeline stay in the carriage. It should be safe enough."

"Let's go." Without further ado, Maria dragged the Blood Saint, who still had a confused look on her face, out.

She no longer wanted to stay in this research center which was conducting disease experiments under the guise of treating patients.

Now she just wanted to get to the small fishing village as soon as possible, find her teacher and ask for clarification.
-
Lan En lowered his head, sat slightly bent in the carriage, and watched the scenery quickly receding outside the glass window.

Maria and Adeline sat opposite him.

This is an old but unique carriage.

The horses pulling the cart didn't seem to make any extra noise except for breathing. They didn't seem like living creatures at all.

The exterior of the carriage was made of thick wood that was already a little peeling, and the interior was fully covered with luxurious and comfortable cotton padding.

This was the carriage Maria had brought from her hometown of Cainhurst.

The people of Yharnam say that the blood nobles have a nostalgic and extravagant style, which seems to be very accurate.

Maria had just told Adeline what the research center was doing and what they were going to do with her.

Adeline acted as if she found it hard to believe. In her own words, "That's a research center run by the Healing Church. Isn't it used to help the world?"

Maria understood this feeling. They all trusted in something, with all their heart.

It’s just that Adeline trusts the Healing Church, and she trusts her teacher, and because of the relationship between her teacher and the Healing Church, she also trusts the church.

But these things will eventually come to an end.

Either the healing church is lying, or .
Maria took a deep breath and pushed the tricorn hat on her head down, covering her eyes with the shadow of the brim.

Small fishing village. What exactly is the wild beast in the small fishing village that requires so many hunters to hunt?
Lan En shrank up and looked out the window. His body shape and armor seemed even more contrasting when sitting next to a normal person in this enclosed space.

Now, his and Simon's investigation directions have converged, and the small fishing village that serves as the intersection is undoubtedly the key among the keys.

But he was a little worried. Is Simon still alive?
They had separated in a hurry last time, and they didn't leave any contact information. Lan En thought that guy had a potion called "Blue Elixir" that could help with stealth, so he would definitely come over to talk to him.

But I don’t know if he was troubled by something, as he has been silent.

This even made Lan En worried. Could this guy be dead?

After all, he had died in this nightmare so many times that he couldn't even remember how many times he had died.

Accidents and mishaps. If you are not careful, even a hunter will not survive.

The three people in the luxurious carriage each had their own thoughts.

But time moved forward objectively, and Cainhurst's carriage finally reached its destination.
