Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 913 895. Black Mud Snake

The sound of the knights drawing their swords in unison sounded solemn and decisive.

And this commotion undoubtedly attracted the attention of Lorenzo and Emma, ​​the priests who were originally discussing with each other.

 The two of them turned their heads and looked in the direction where the Lothric knights were on guard.

 That was the body of the former Knight Commander that they had just laid out with solemn etiquette!

At this time, the corpse that had fallen into the silence of death suddenly seemed like a living creature with some violent activity in its body.

 The already dead body was shaking and twitching due to the conflict of something inside.

Even his armor once again made the swaying sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" when moving.

 This situation is obviously not right.

Lorenzo immediately pushed towards the forefront of the knights' alert.

 He is the leader of the knights who is appointed before the battle. At this time, he must take the lead. And he originally had this character, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use a knight's sword, a weapon that is good at violent attack but not good at defense.

 “Be alert! Form a formation!”

They don’t know what happened to the body of the former Knight Commander, but at this terrible time, at this terrible juncture, they have to prepare for the worst.

 He heard a sound like a water bag being torn, and a roar that was irrational and not even human!

 “Back off, Loren.”

After the tip of Lorenzo's great sword finally cautiously touched the twitching and shaking corpse of the former knight leader, the movement of the corpse suddenly stopped.

Thick and deep, it aggregated into a tangled snake on the body of the former knight leader.

The two-meter-long sword was cautiously testing the body that was kneeling down holding his head.

He shouted loudly as he pushed forward, and the members of the Knights of Lothric responded with excellent average quality in a short time.

The corpse that was touched by the tip of Lorenzo's big sword, the 'things' inside the corpse suddenly started to jump out!

 “Hiss!”

 But the size and mass completely defied common sense.

 Then, a roar that did not sound like a human being began to come from the mouth of the 'thing' that broke out of the body.

 The corpse's abnormal twitching continued, but behind the knights' formation, Lan squinted his eyes and pretended to be listening.

The upper body of the corpse of the former Knight Commander was like a juicy water bag, torn and torn from the inside out!

Even solid armor cannot withstand the tearing from the inside out.

It was a mass of flowing, shaped black mud.

 But that is not the tranquility after the change subsides. It is the accumulation of energy before something explodes after being frightened!

 “Stab it!”

 Subsequently, the witcher's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened.

There was no time to even finish shouting the name. It took time for the sound to reach Lan En's ears through the air, and this time was enough for an emergency to occur.

Lorenzo stood in front of his old boss who had just said his final farewell in person. He picked up his Lothric knight's great sword.

 Just like the distant sound that Lan heard in his ears.

 The thing that came out of the body of the former Knight Commander was larger and heavier than that body!

 Because of his extraordinary sensory abilities, he received information from a large area near his location.

Human blood began to splash out wildly and turbulently during this process, it was like throwing paint around!

The thickness of the black mud snake is much thicker than the waist of an ordinary person, and its largest head is as big as a person with a mouth.

There is also a deformed claw that protrudes from the black mud snake and hangs down on the side. The size is also able to be easily held by one person.

At the position of the snake head's eyes, two groups of frightening red lights were on for a long time. With slight movement, the alluring red light could even leave traces of light in mid-air.

The huge black mud snake coiled around the upper body of the person, leaving only two relatively disproportionate legs, which were used as a moving tool for the snake to move staggeringly.

This thing is quite powerful.

Just the moment he broke out of his body, the tail made of black mud swung in front of him.

 Then Lorenzo, who was within the attack range, was directly knocked away!

Even though the new knight commander had relied on his superb on-the-spot reaction, he immediately blocked the broad blade of the sword in front of him.

However, the monster's tail flick was still accompanied by a huge steel roar, and it was whipped directly to the formation of Lothrik knights behind him.

With a "thud" sound, the experienced knights who raised their shields had no intention of making way for the commander.

 Instead, the officer was allowed to hit the shield wall.

And Lorenzo was not pretentious. His helmet had been knocked off just now. Now he tilted his head and spat blood on the ground, and then stood up again with his sword in hand.

 “What the **** is this?!”

The Knights of Lothric have defeated all enemies in the world, and they are never afraid of battle.

However, fighting a strange thing that has never been seen before makes people unconsciously feel unsure.

Priest Emma, ​​who was standing with Lan En, had never seen anything like this. Her lips were murmuring, but she had no information to tell.

 “Is it an abyss?”

 On the contrary, Lan En was the first to put forward a point of view.

 “The red eyes are so distinctive.”

“Maybe it’s an abyss, but it’s this shape.”

Emma, ​​the officiant, whispered unconfidently. Obviously, even the Holy Order, which has been fighting against the abyss for a long time, has never seen such a thing.

This kind of thing is quite difficult to deal with. In the short period of time since its appearance, it seems to be obsessed with destruction and killing, approaching the knights with its staggering legs.

 Following that, it showed no pain, like a mad dog's attack rhythm.

The knights' swords and spears seemed to have little effect on it.

Weapons can harm those black mud-like things, but they cannot cause any hesitation in their squirming bodies.

The huge snake head, tail, and deformed claws were twisted and sticky, and the knights had no way of knowing the attack movements of this thing.

  The shield can only defend one direction, and when the attack action cannot be clearly distinguished, many knights just raised their shields, trying to bite the monster's head.

 But the next moment, the tail that was hanging on the ground was rounded, and it was pulled from the other direction, flattening the knight's helmet.

 Thick plasma and brain matter dripped out from the viewing slit of the helmet.

The stone bricks of Lothric's high walls are as fragile as tofu under this monster's attack.

With a slight pull of the deformed claws, the bricks that were originally laid as a whole were broken into pieces and turned into gravel.

Lann kicked a Lothrik knight away from him with a 'dong' kick.

 The next moment, the monster's deformed claws directly hit the position where the knight was preparing to attack.

The claw did not hit the dead person, but then grabbed it sideways. Lan En, who was next to him, had already kicked the knight away and quickly dodge away from his original position under the influence of [Acceleration Technique].

 The claws were empty.

 “Hiss!!”

 The monster roared and continued to fight crazily.

This guy is so difficult to deal with.

Lan En thought silently in his heart.

 The powerful force seems to have no pain at all, and it is unable to suppress the offensive. The attack rhythm itself is messy and violent, even more mad than a mad dog.

Even though the two human legs it uses to move are faltering, once there is a target within the attack range, the snake's own telescopic force will not slow it down at all.

 And the whole body is like flowing black mud and asphalt.

This physical feature further aggravates people’s visual misjudgment.

Human eyes cannot judge the distance between the monster's body parts, and even though they have been entangled for a long time, these battle-experienced Lothric knights and Lan still cannot figure out the monster's attack rhythm. .

After all, when this monster moves, people can’t see clearly which parts of it are moving! Because it is all a mass of flowing black.

If Lan En uses [Spirit Vision], then he is confident that this mad dog-like thing will see through those simple actions immediately.

However, there is darkness lurking in Lan En's body right now because he peeked into Eldridge's inner being. The thing in front of him is clearly a product of the [Abyss].

 He can no longer take the risk of turning on [Spirit Vision] to see it.

  Priest Emma tried to use some [miracles] to shroud the monster, hoping to use divine power to dispel it.

Lan En also tried to use the Lake Lady’s Sword with the ‘Holy Lake Light’ to attack the black mud.

 But it is completely useless, it has no special effect on this monster.

Because [the abyss] does not represent evil, it is just the world built on fire, the other side of the two sides of the same body.

 Smart beings cannot define that side as "evil" just because they are unable to survive on the other side of the world.

 The situation is completely deadlocked.

Even the knights don’t know how many more attacks this thing will have to take before it dies.

 Because there were no wounds visible at all on the flowing black mud.

 What they call "being able to hurt the opponent" is just a feeling from the touch.

 “Get ready to retreat!”

Lorenzo finally made a decision after almost being bitten off half of his body again.

 He ​​roared, preparing to strangle the monster with the life of a Lothric knight while the others retreated. Create distance.

 They don’t know how to deal with this unseen monster, and they have already wasted too much time and energy.

As for the Lothric knight whose name was called by Lorenzo, he was unmoved by the scene that required his own sacrifice. He was just silent and prepared to step forward and perform his duties.

 In this world, many people no longer put life first.

 Even seems a little indifferent to his own life.

Lan frowned at this scene.

 He hates this kind of thing happening in front of him, but from a rational point of view.

 Facing a powerful, difficult monster with no clear strategy for dealing with it, being able to evacuate so many people at the cost of one life can be said to be a ‘success’.
