Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 890 872. Occult Natural Science (3000)

 “Come and clear the place, Qilin!”

 Lan En shouted.

 The noble war horse also neighed and began to release its power.

 A high-pressure environment is being generated under the power of Qilin.

 There was an oppressive feeling in the church that was covered by dark clouds.

Subsequently, on the ground of the deep church hall, some blue-white light spots that glowed due to the accumulation of electric charges gradually appeared.

 Charge difference is formed, and high-voltage electrical phenomena occur simultaneously!

 “Stab it!”*N

Several bright, dazzling, and ear-ringing thunders suddenly appeared in the church.

 This is the thunder power of nature, natural blue thunder.

 But it can also be said to be flying over the roof and walking over the wall.

After the bright and ear-piercing thunder, most of the bishops and church knights who reacted and responded only had their coats slightly charred under the unicorn's thunder.

Lann whispered the name of the spell.

 “Whooping?”

To this day, relying on the natural lightness and strength of the El cats, Velvet Ball's [Light Body Technique] has not yet reached the level of Phobos in the ancient Greek world, that is, as light as the ninjas.

On the wall of the church, the flannel ball with the thunder cat sword drawn out was also using the [Light Body Technique] to jump back and forth on the reliefs and wall decorations on the walls of the church.

 The threat from heights on the terrace is suddenly reduced a lot.

 “I’ve long seen that you don’t look like good people, meow!”

It seems that the pressure of defending the room where Rosalia is located is much less.

A large group of unresponsive bishops were turned into charcoal before they could even scream under the sweep of thunder.

 And following this movement, a deep, dark light appeared on his body.

Qilin himself snorted in surprise.

Lan En had thought that the priests who could be entrusted to take care of Eldridge's coffin and preside over such a cathedral must not be simple, and it was unlikely that they would all be killed by Qilin's thunder.

Those thin slaves on the wall who rely on slow climbing and sudden sneak attacks to injure people, their agility on the wall cannot be compared with that of kittens.

However, apart from the initial loss of personnel, the fact that the lethality was so limited was beyond Lan En and Qilin's expectations.

In an instant, the density of the fireballs fired by the bishops who were still suppressing fire on the second-floor terrace suddenly dropped by one level.

 “Miracle [Profound Refuge].”

So as soon as the velvet ball flashed past the wall, the slaves either fell down bleeding, or they couldn't hold on to the wall and were kicked off.

 But on the first floor of the hall, Lan En frowned after Qilin released a burst of thunder.

Most of them knelt on one knee and clasped one hand in front of their chest in a praying posture.

 The high-voltage electricity caused their flesh to become blackened and cracked due to heat, revealing the deep, tender flesh inside.

 This is also the biblical story that MacDonald put first when recommending books to him.

 In fact, before Eldridge committed the crime of cannibalism, Lothric City had already discovered the power of the deep and conducted certain research. One of the results was this [miracle].

It's just that the danger of this power was realized, and the research was terminated and sealed in time.

 Later, the Church of the Deep was built and became a funeral church for dealing with the undead. This [miracle] existed as a technical support given by Lothric to the bishops before they performed their duties, and was taught to the bishops to protect themselves.

 After all, dealing with the dark blood accumulated by the undead, nothing can be done without sufficient protection.

 The Deep was originally a quiet and sacred place, and therefore became a breeding ground for those terrifying things.

This story about the [Deep Sea] can protect the priests who worship terrible things.

 From Lan En’s understanding, this is a mystical [asylum].

 But the problem is—Qilin’s thunder and lightning are completely natural forces.

Although in the New World, all kinds of outrageous and exaggerated monsters emerge in endlessly, they are all natural creatures born in the natural environment.

Ancient dragons are just a species that stands at the top of the biological chain in nature.

The blue thunder and lightning of Qilin is proof of this.

But completely natural thunder and lightning seems to be suppressed by the opponent's spells in this world precisely because of its lack of mystery.

 The life of this world comes entirely from the ignition of the first fire. In other words, the ‘life’ of this world is closer to the concept of ‘life’ in mysticism than to ‘life’ in biology.

 Will it be effective to use the power of natural thunder and lightning to attack supernatural and occult life?

Maybe, after all, many priests who did not react and started casting spells died.

  But after they put on [Netherworld Shelter] on themselves, Qilin's thunder and lightning was indeed not lethal to them.

Qilin shook his head in displeasure, and his pale mane exploded. But then he was smoothed over by Lan En again.

“It’s expected, after all, the foundation of this world’s existence is different from before.”

Lan En was riding on the back of Qilin, looking at the priests and knights with a black halo on their bodies under the protection of the deep. It seems impossible to rely on Kirin's large-scale attack to solve everything.

 And at this time, the [Salary King] seemed a little impatient.

 “Too slow, too hungry. There are plans waiting, so hurry up!”

Eldridge, even if that puddle of black mud was bombarded by Qilin's lightning without any protection, it seemed that it didn't feel anything from the beginning.

 Actually, although Eldridge's figure has turned into a puddle of mud, he doesn't move much on the battlefield.

 But he is the one with the most presence.

 Even more presence than Lan En, because the profound power is too stressful. Especially those who are of normal mind and have not been corrupted by profound beliefs.

Just looking at him was as painful as insects gnawing at him inside his body.

 Lan En seems to have greatly improved his mental endurance due to the [Song Gland], so his performance is not bad.

But even Qilin would subconsciously tap his hooves uneasily when he occasionally saw Eldridge's puddle of black mud.

 He began to spread his body, and the bodies of the knights and priests killed by Lan were pulled in by him in the process.

 He was originally the ashes left after being burned by the first fire, and most of his strength and soul were burned.

 In order to cope with the deep sea era predicted by him, he is now eager to accumulate souls as nutrition.

Hence, now he no longer cares about what he just said about "giants are boring".

Black mud clung to the corpse of the giant whose head was chopped off by Lan En.

 All the way up, the black mud got in through the opening opened by [turbid current·annihilation].

 The giant's originally peaceful corpse began to make a percolating noise from inside.

It was like the sound of bones being chewed and flesh and blood being torn apart, which became dull after being blocked by the outer skin.

At the same time, there are weird bulges and depressions on the body from time to time.

 Finally, the giant's body stood up.

The original mask made of thick iron bars on his face, and even his entire head, have been completely replaced by a bulging mass of black mud.

This body can no longer be called a ‘giant’. His name is Eldridge!

 “Ouch!”

Even though the mouth was no longer visible, Eldridge still used his giant body to roar.

 He controlled his body and stood up on the stone platform beneath him.

The giant lost its center of gravity and barely made a dent on the edge of the high platform when his whole body fell down. Now it was supported by Eldridge's hand, leaving clear palm prints on it!

The giant's hand clenched into a fist, and with the same fist swing as before, he smashed the heavy gate of Rosalia's bedroom.

 But the difference is that this time, there is also a horrifying mass of black mud on the giant's fist!

 “Get out of the way!”

Leonard on the terrace was still releasing magic to help Lan suppress the priests.

However, when he saw Eldridge eating up the giant's body and controlling the body to punch him, he quickly put down his magic wand and shouted loudly.

The power of [Salary King], even if it has been burned once, is obviously different from that of a mere slave giant!

　　A few maggots who knew they had no time to dodge volunteered to stand between the fist and the gate to protect their reborn mother.

They kept chanting the "miracle" taught by the angels, and thrust the double-pronged spears of white light into their fists, but in the end it was like a mantis using its arms as a chariot.

Eldridge didn’t even feel that there were several double-pronged guns generated by [Miracle] inserted into his fists.

 “Boom!!”

 Huge roaring sound.

The fist blessed by Eldridge's power crushed several maggots to death on the gate, and their blood splashed everywhere. The flesh was crushed into several pieces by the fence grid.

But the gate that remained motionless in front of the giant immediately took on a horrifying deformation in front of this fist.

The thick and strong railings are curved and indented, like a layer of gauze that can be pierced with a little force.

On the railing, the religious reliefs and spell patterns that are responsible for the defensive significance of mysticism were created after Eldridge's black mud was passed over it.

 Suddenly and silently, it became dull, rusty, and corroded into a blur.

Before Eldridge took action officially, Lan En, the soldiers on the terrace, and the maggots worked hard to pull the situation towards their own side.

 But after he decided to take action, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse.

　　　　　. This is the honorific name given to the people in this world who supported the operation of the world in the first fire.

Such people may not be very good at fighting, but their souls must be extremely huge, so huge that they can serve as fuel for the stability of the world.

 In this world where soul, body, and strength are closely connected, [Xinwang] can usually be simply defined as ‘strong’.

 Someone has to stop Eldridge!
