Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1468 1440.【Eternal World】

'what happens? ’

After the moment when the fallen hungry ghost got up again, whether it was the militiaman who had just taken a brave step and overcame the fear of the monster to perform a last-ditch attack, or the militiaman who had taken a few steps to close the distance and wanted to kill him. Such thoughts flashed across Kikuchi Sadaikichi's mind.

Everything happens in an instant.

When the hungry ghost stood up, he opened his horrifyingly twisted mouth and let out a strange scream.

And after that strange cry

Kikuchi Sadayoshi, whose steps originally showed a certain level of stability, almost visibly weakened his knees.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It's like standing up suddenly after squatting for a long time, and the blood flow is not smooth.

But it’s impossible!

He has been patrolling, and he just made a [upper configuration] slash! How could mistakes like weak legs and irregular breathing occur at this time?

As for the militiamen who were closer to the hungry ghosts than Kikuchi Sadayoshi, his performance was even worse.

Although fighting is the most physically demanding sport, the militiamen faced monsters for the first time.

But it didn’t matter, so I went up and stabbed it with a knife, and then I felt like I was out of breath after running a few kilometers, right?

Shouldn't it be possible to recover more than half of this sudden physical exertion by just taking a few breaths?

Why are you out of breath as if you've reached the limit of aerobic exercise?

Abnormal manifestations of body and physical strength were the first to be sensed, and then other abnormal feelings came one after another.

Kikuchi Sadayoshi felt as if his nose and throat were blocked by some invisible thick gas.

His eyes could not see anything, but the abnormality of touch was real.

—Beside this hungry ghost who stood up again and roared, something was making his body uncomfortable, preventing him from recovering his physical strength!

The hungry ghost's protruding eyes widened like light bulbs and flashed with blood.

It screamed excitedly and looked at the brave militiamen closest to it.

[Hungry Ghost] is a miserable soul who has fallen into the realm of hungry ghosts. Their appetite can never be satisfied, and legend has it that any food stuffed into their mouths will turn into ashes before reaching their throats.

Because of this, they are hungry and thirsty, and therefore they hate those creatures who can still eat and live.

"Whoa whoa!"

Amidst the strange screams, the hungry ghost's thin, twisted jaw suddenly opened!

The sound of the joints turning almost makes a mechanical "click" sound.

Its mouth opens to at least 150 degrees!

And without stopping for a moment, he pounced towards the militiamen beside him who were panting and exhausted and couldn't move!

The twisted mouth on the huge head looked like it was going to bite off the militiaman's neck when opened!

Kikuchi Sadayoshi's pupils were so nervous that they shrank, and the militiaman, whose physical strength was so exhausted that he couldn't move, even stopped breathing subconsciously.

Monsters, for the villagers living in this world, are things that can kill people so easily.

but

"Bang!"

A big hand!

A big hand that still looked bigger even if it was held on the hungry ghost's big, deformed head! Abruptly and simply stopped the hungry ghost from attacking!

The bone-white gauntlet, which seems to be called a cage hand in Japan, stopped the hungry ghost's head as if he was casually holding a smashed apple.

Its skinny limbs and swollen, sickly, round belly were in mid-air, and it swayed forward due to its momentum before it came to a complete stop.

Then without stopping.

The arm that crossed from the side of the militiaman threw the hungry ghost in his hand directly.

"Whoa whoa!"

The hungry ghost floated on the ground and flew far away, making strange screams of pain from its mouth.

The militiamen who were so frightened that they had not recovered yet, and the confused Dingji, stared blankly at Lan En's tall body walking out from behind them.

All they saw was that this powerful warrior with a strange origin, who called himself "Akito", first glanced at the empty ground with his strange cat eyes.

Then he took a step forward and frowned.

After this step, Lan En's body was already standing with the militiamen.

And in the demon hunter's [spiritual vision], he clearly saw: just where the hungry ghost stood up again after falling to the ground, a circle of circular ink stains with a diameter of two meters was surging.

It's said to be 'ink mark', but it's obviously not real ink.

Because judging from the information observed from the corner of the eye, it seemed that the young warrior and militiamen in front of them could not see the ink stain at all.

This is not something ordinary people can see.

The strange cry after the hungry ghost got up seemed to call for some kind of power in this place.

Without leaving a trace, Lan En gently pushed aside the militiamen and young warriors as he passed by.

After the two of them staggered away from the circle of ink on the ground, they subconsciously took a few deep breaths and broke out in a cold sweat, as if they were surfacing.

But even so, the brave militiamen who were suddenly too tired to walk now felt much smoother and could stand firm on their own without the help of others.

Judging by his expression, he himself was confused.

And even after Lan En stepped into this ink circle, he subconsciously took a deep breath.

I want to use this regular method to make up for my reduced physical recovery speed.

But it didn't work.

It was as if the power summoned by hungry ghosts in this circle did not belong to the human world and had nothing to do with life.

Human life will only be consumed here and cannot be restored.

But the impact of this circle of ink on Lan En.

"Although the nature of this power is deep enough to touch [Body Light], the force it exerts on me is worse than diving."

Lan En's hands tightened and unclenched, and [Smaug's] gauntlets made a sound of biting armor on his hands, and the witcher muttered in his mouth.

Then, he walked straight through the two-meter-diameter ink circle and looked at the hungry ghost who was thrown away by his slap.

"Or is this because you are too weak?" Under the dim moonlight, Lan En's hair looked like flashing silver, and his cat eyes shone slightly.

"Whoa whoa!"

The hungry ghost stood up again, and the strange screams came from unknown channels, calling for inexplicable power.

With its feet as the center of the circle, another ink mark circle was created.

But the moment after it finished screaming.

"Bang!"

Lan En's big hand pressed directly on the hungry ghost's sparse head!

The height of the hungry ghost was no more than a knee for him.

Bend down and press!

The hungry ghost who had just stood up was directly pressed until his head was crushed to the ground!

Then Lan En, who straightened up, raised his steps and said "Bang!!"

Earth and rocks splash! A circle of loess smoke was shaken out from Lan En's foothold, which was under the hungry ghost's head!

The hard bones and skin, which even a veteran who had practiced swordsmanship for more than ten years felt pain when cutting with a knife, made a series of "Karala" cracking sounds under the crushing force of Lan En's feet.

The strange cry of "wow wah wah" left only a particularly shrill and painful wail, and then fell into silence.

Lann pulled the stuck foot out of the earth.

By the way, he shook it to shake off the dust.

The militiamen were swallowing dryly, and the young samurai, whose hand holding the handle of the knife kept opening and closing due to nervousness, didn't know what expressions to show.

So they could only look at each other with blank faces, but they were speechless.

"Really impressive martial arts skills."

At this time, a sound came from the darkness of the village, breaking the brief silence.

Daisuke Kikuchi, wearing only a yukata and nightgown, walked out holding the handle of the knife.

The single clothes on his upper body were not even tied up, and his arms were open. When we met during the day, Haori's jacket was nowhere to be seen, and Tsukiyo's head was scattered, looking like a bald, long-haired non-mainstream figure.

It was obvious that he had just woken up from his sleep and hurriedly took the knife and went out.

When he saw the young warrior who was helpless but not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he bowed to Lan En: "Thank you for your help. The dog is ineffective. I have never really fought against a monster."

He looked at Lan En's feet. The motionless body of the hungry ghost had now turned into the same black air as the ink circle summoned by it, and dissipated into nothingness.

But at the same time, Daisuke Kikuchi seemed to have the ability to see two ink circles on the ground called out by the strange cries of hungry ghosts.

The warrior with disheveled hair had a solemn and frightened face, and bowed deeply to Lan En again, making the witcher feel a little uncomfortable.

"I have actually summoned two [Eternal Worlds]. I'm afraid this hungry ghost almost swallowed something in his mouth just now? Fortunately, fortunately. Otherwise, it would be really a big trouble!"

【Eternal Life】? Is this the name of the ink circle?

In an instant, Lan En analyzed something from this name.

In the Japanese context, the so-called ‘permanent world’ is not the ‘ordinary world’ in the Chinese context. Rather, it is a concept corresponding to the ‘human world’.

In other words – it means ‘Sheol’.

Hungry ghosts who fall into the realm of hungry ghosts can call upon the power of the [Eternal World], and in the [Eternal World], living creatures in the world will of course be suppressed.

"Bastard!" Daisuke Kikuchi had already walked up to the young samurai, slapped him on the helmet, and then yelled.

"I've told you before! Be careful when you meet monsters! Don't panic in any situation! Just chop them to death! Did you just defeat the hungry ghost once and then miss it, not killing it all at once? Huh?!"

"Do you know that if the hungry ghost just stood up again and was not far away, you might die from exhaustion just standing next to it?!"

"It doesn't matter if you are exhausted! What if it takes a bite? That would be a big deal!"

Dingji, who was idle in the village, did not dare to take a breath in front of his father. This may be because he had really narrowly escaped death just now.

'event? ’ Lan En was thinking next to him, ‘If the hungry ghost really gets what he wants, what will he eat, and what other changes will happen? Becoming more dangerous? ’

The old warrior, who had finished training his son angrily, finally calmed down a little and turned to look at Lan En again.

The way he looked at the witcher was a little confused this time.

"Well." The old warrior pointed to the two [Changshi] on the ground and said politely to Lan En, amidst the puzzled looks of other ordinary people, "Aren't you going to exorcise [Changshi]?"

"Don't worry, this is entirely your honor. Quanzi didn't help at all, so don't worry about him."

According to the old samurai, it seems that exorcising [Eternal World] is an honorary confirmation act for the samurai who killed the monster?

But it's a pity that Lan En only knows the concept of [eternal life]. How could he possibly know how to 'eliminate' this power of the underworld?

So Lan En opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to find an excuse to excuse himself.

But before he could speak, Daisuke Kikuchi seemed to have understood.

"Oh, I understand, are you the kind of person who is more taboo about dirty things?"

"In fact, there is no need to worry. The village chief can use the power of the sacred cherry to purify and kill monsters and eliminate the [residues] of the [eternal world]."

"But if you still feel uncomfortable, then let me do it?"

With that said, Daisuke Kikuchi pulled out the sword from his waist.

But Lan En had no idea that he wanted to chop anything.

In line with the principle of 'if you don't know, just watch quietly', Lan En calmly took two steps back.

Showing that he really won't get involved.

The old warrior held a sword in hand and entered the ink circle [eternal world].
